Concubine De had a close relationship with Xie Ziyue, and her days at the summer resort were boring, so she liked to spend time here whenever Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty was away.
The two chatted, and after Concubine De returned, Xie Ziyue was served by Taoxiang and took off her hairpin.
"Wow, concubine, so beautiful." Gu Xuan leaned next to Xie Ziyue's legs, blinking at the Dongzhu earrings on her dressing table.
The pair of Dongzhu earrings were round and jade-like, and one could tell at a glance that they were extraordinary. Gu Xuan liked them so much that she touched them with her hands.
"Your father gave it to me before." Xie Ziyue said helplessly, "Do you like it so much?"
Tao Xiang snickered: "The princess really has a very good taste, and she likes the best ones."
These Dongzhu earrings were a previous tribute. There is only one pair, and they are here.
Xie Ziyue smiled helplessly. She saw that her daughter liked it so much, and she didn't care that she couldn't wear it without piercing her ears. She said, "If you like it, just hold it. Don't lose it."
Anyway, from now on, all her good things will be for her daughter. It's rare to see A-Xuan like something so much.
"Okay~" Gu Xuan opened the brocade bag at her waist, stuffed the earrings in and patted them: "It won't be gone."
Xie Ziyue took a look and saw that the kit was tightened, so she didn't care.
"Where is your father?" Gu Xuan put on her earrings and looked towards the door, finally thinking of Han Xianzong.
"Father is not coming tonight." Xie Ziyue finished cleaning up at this time and carried her daughter to the bed, "Xuan, please sleep well."
"Yeah." Gu Xuan nodded vigorously and put the bag with the earrings next to her pillow at night. She obviously liked it very much.
Mother and daughter had a good night's sleep.
But here, Concubine Rou was in the palace before, and even on the day she officially entered the palace, His Majesty did not touch her.
She truly became His Majesty's woman last night, feeling the sunlight on her face, and when she opened her eyes, there was still a smile on her face.
There was no one around her at this time. She listened carefully and there seemed to be movement outside.
So she got up and put on her clothes. Before she could get out of bed, people outside seemed to hear the movement inside and walked over.
Before Concubine Rou could raise her eyes, a bowl of still steaming medicine appeared in her sight.
"Drink this." Han Xianzong's voice sounded normal, but this sentence made Concubine Rou feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She just went to bed last night, and today Han Xianzong asked her to drink medicine. You can imagine what this medicine is...
Concubine Rou lowered her eyes, showing just the right amount of reluctance and sadness on her face, and took the medicine and drank it in one gulp.
Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty saw her finish the medicine in one gulp and waited for a while before leaving.
Concubine Rou kept paying attention to him, and as soon as his figure disappeared, she asked the palace maid to bring the spittoon.
Then she dug her throat with her hands and forced herself to spit out all the medicine she had just taken.
By the time she was almost done vomiting, her face was pale and her temples were wet with sweat.
On the contrary, there was a smile on her lips.
She must hurry up and get pregnant, otherwise how can she not have worries about what she has to do next?
Thinking of what she was worried about yesterday, Concubine Rou looked at the palace maid standing next to her:
"Help me get up and dress up."
"Yes." The palace maid carefully helped her up, revealing a sunburn on her neck. She was holding her in a shivering manner, and her expression was approaching numbness.
Here, while Tao Xiang was dressing Xie Ziyue, she remembered the discussion she just heard outside. She endured it again and again, but couldn't help but say:
"Empress, I heard that Your Majesty went to Concubine Rou yesterday."
At that time, Xie Ziyue was wearing armor. She paused slightly after hearing this. After a moment, she put the armor on her little finger as usual:
"What do you want to say?"
Concubine Rou is His Majesty's concubine. His Majesty can go wherever he wants. Xie Ziyue has become a lot more tolerant after becoming the concubine, but Tao Xiang is a bit over the top.
Seeing Taoxiang's angry face, Xie Ziyue couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Concubine Rou is the biological sister of that..., I'm just unhappy!" Even though the first empress is gone now, Tao Xiang still hates the first empress extremely.
So much so that I don't like Concubine Rou at all now. I also know that Concubine Rou is not a good bird. The key is that this time Concubine Rou is much smarter than her own sister.
The late Queen used to occupy the position in the middle palace, so His Majesty had to visit her on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Otherwise don't go at all.
Concubine Rou is the starting concubine. If she can achieve this, how can she not be considered scheming and resourceful?
"Okay." Xie Ziyue looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes calm:
"Forget about the past. If she is smarter in the future and doesn't do anything to hurt A-Xuan and me, that's fine. She is smarter than her sister."
Of course, if Concubine Rou insists on following in the footsteps of her sister, His Majesty will take care of her first without even needing Xie Ziyue to take action.
So Xie Ziyue is not worried at the moment. Seeing Taoxiang's unfazed expression, she is a little funny:
"Okay, hurry up and dress me up! Didn't you promise A-Xuan to fly a kite today? If you don't clean up well, you will have to make a fuss when that naughty little girl gets up."
Last night, Gu Xuanrui insisted on flying a kite in Xie Ziyue's arms. Xie Ziyue agreed, so she had someone send a kite early in the morning. She is now getting dressed.
Gu Xuan was still sleeping sprawled out on the bed. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Xie Ziyue couldn't bear to call her and planned to call her later.
"Then I'll ask you where is the best place to fly a kite later!" Taoxiang was instantly happy. She had never flown a kite in her whole life, and today she was lucky enough to be able to fly a kite thanks to the little princess.
The summer resort is very big, but the place really suitable for flying kites is in the back mountain, where the terrain is flat and there is no need to worry about the kite being scratched.
Today was also a good time, there was a faint wind in the sky, so the kite flew very smoothly, and it flew very high in a short while.
Gu Xuan was very excited. She was too small and because they were afraid that she would be picked up by the kite, the adults played with her and watched.
Although it was a pity that she couldn't play by herself, she was also excited to see her, walking around with Taoxiang, Xin Zhangjing and others, while Xie Ziyue sat in the pavilion and watched with a smile.
"Old slave, it seems that Your Highness the Princess has grown taller." Grandma Sun and Grandma Li were old and had bad legs and feet, so they stayed in the pavilion, standing next to Xie Ziyue, one on the left and the other on the right.
The three of them looked over there with smiles. Grandma Sun gestured and said, "It seemed that it was not as high as Taoxiang's thigh before."
"It grows very fast." Grandma Li also smiled: "When I was dressing the little princess today, I felt that the clothes were a little tight. I guess it's because of her long body. It's time for Si Yifang to make it again."
When Grandma Li said this, Xie Ziyue also remembered that Han Xianzong had rewarded her with two excellent horses a few days ago.
In the past, she would have made clothes for herself, but now she would definitely make them for A-Xuan first. Anyway, there are two of them, one for each of mother and daughter.
"The kite has flown away!" The laughter over there stopped abruptly. Xie Ziyue followed the sound and looked over, only to see that the high-flying kite had broken its string and quickly floated into the distance.
Taoxiang quickly carried the pouting Gu Xuan into the pavilion.
"Oh, your little mouth can even hang an oil can." Xie Ziyue joked:
"Okay, look at how sweaty you are. Don't catch a cold later. Let's go back first. If you like it, come back next time."
"Then I want two next time." Gu Xuan made a 2 sign and asked.
"Okay." Xie Ziyue naturally agreed to this small request.
In short, although the kite was gone, everyone was happy when we went back.
Gu Xuan entered the room and went straight to the bed, but Xie Ziyue didn't pay attention.
As soon as she ordered Grandma Sun to fetch hot water, she saw her daughter running out, her eyes wide open and she asked:
"Mother, where are the baby's beads?"
