In the final analysis, the Third Prince's matter has little impact. After all, things are different from the past, and Han Xianzong is no longer the emperor who was suppressed everywhere.
Especially early this morning, he used thunderous means to depose the third prince from his position as prince. Since those veterans and Han Xianzong discussed this imperial edict together, it shows that Han Xianzong has the ability to settle things.
So Xie Ziyue is not worried at all. The most important thing is to go out and play with her daughter.
Gu Xuan liked the little skirt she wore today, so instead of playing football, she walked around the palace with her mother and concubine.
Taoxiang and Xin Zhangjing were extremely smart. Although Xie Ziyue did not give instructions, they both prepared a kite.
When they saw that the little princess was tired, they took out the kite and said, "Princess, what do you think this is?"
"Kites!" Gu Xuan clapped her hands happily: "There are two kites!"
When they were at the summer resort last time, Gu Xuan said that she wanted two kites next time. Unexpectedly, Taoxiang and Xin Zhangjing still remembered it and brought them with them this time!
"You are quite used to buying off this naughty little kid!" Xie Ziyue glanced at her daughter angrily:
"There are trees everywhere here, how can a kite fly?"
Looking around, there are willow trees all around, and the chirping of cicadas is endless. As long as the kite flies higher, it will hang on the tree.
"I can't fly it," Gu Xuan pursed her lips. She was always smart. Her mother-in-law had been in the palace for so long, so she must know where to fly the kite.
So she pulled Xie Ziyue's sleeves and swayed, softly saying: "Mother, help me~"
Xie Ziyue ignored her and stuck to her like a piece of candy. The eunuchs and maids next to her all laughed.
When there was no little princess, how could the empress be as gentle as she is now?
The little princess is really the empress’s weakness. As long as the little princess acts coquettishly, the empress will always agree to anything.
Moreover, the little princess is cute and has a good personality. Now everyone in Weiyang Palace likes their little master very much.
"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you." Xie Ziyue's deliberately stern face finally couldn't bear it anymore and admitted defeat:
"I'll just take you there, but there's one thing. Just watch them let them go, and you're not allowed to go yourself."
"Yeah, yeah!" Gu Xuan nodded wildly.
As long as I can fly a kite, I can talk about anything.
Xie Ziyue tapped her nose and led her to the back of Tai Chi Hall.
There is an open space behind Taiji Hall, which is often guarded by guards. It is spacious and there is no obstruction.
If the weather is hot, it is not an exaggeration to call it a steamer. However, the weather today is not bad, and it is not bad to fly a kite here.
Everyone in the palace knew that the imperial concubine and her daughter were the most beloved of His Majesty. When the guards guarding the place saw the little princess happily flying a kite, they all pretended not to notice.
Even the captain of the guard saw it during his inspection, and he was very smart and sent others to guard the entrance to prevent other people from disturbing the imperial concubine and the eldest princess Xiangjia.
Tao Xiang and Xin Zhangjing have improved their kite flying skills and are much better than when they were at the summer resort.
The kite flew high and far. Gu Xuan was so excited that she kept laughing.
It was at this time that Princess Snow appeared.
She is the biological mother of the Third Prince. She was also a noble girl before. She gave birth to a prince not long after marrying the late emperor. She has always had a proud temperament.
Just because her son did not become the emperor, she was unable to enjoy the position of Queen Mother, so she stayed in seclusion in the palace, even more reclusive than the Queen Mother.
This time something happened to the third prince, and she went out to visit her son. When she learned that the third prince spread such fatal rumors, she rushed back early in the morning to see the queen mother to plead for mercy.
Who would have thought that the Queen Mother was hiding behind closed doors. Apparently the Queen Mother did not dare to challenge Han Xianzong's bottom line because of the previous incident.
Concubine Xue had no choice but to go see Han Xianzong again. However, Xianzong of the Han Dynasty was very rude, and Concubine Xue returned home in vain.
She didn't want people to see her miserable appearance, so she deliberately took a detour to return to the palace. Unexpectedly, when she was about to cross a main road, she was stopped by the guard guarding the door.
"Presumptuous!" Concubine Xue narrowed her eyes: "Can't I just pass by here?"
"I don't dare in my humble position!" How dare the guard guarding the door dare to offend the concubine? I had no choice but to tell the whole truth:
"It's the Imperial Concubine who is flying a kite with Princess Xiangjia. If you go in, I'm afraid you'll be hit."
The imperial concubine and the eldest princess Xiangjia?
Concubine Xue frowned slightly. She had some impressions of these two people. Her daughter-in-law's natal family had been implicated because of this incident.
At that time, she knew that Han Xianzong wanted to take back military power for this reason, so she couldn't do anything even if she was angry.
But today she was in a very bad mood and had almost lost her self-control.
Knowing that these two people were present and that Princess Xiangjia was currently the only heir of Han Xianzong, Concubine Xue's expression became even colder.
With a cold face, she walked in regardless of the guards' dissuasion.
From a distance, you can hear the ringing laughter of a girl, who is wearing a goose-yellow dress and spinning around inside. The stunning Xie Ziyue looks on with a smile.
It is a harmonious and beautiful scene, and anyone who sees it will feel soft in their heart.
Only Princess Snow.
Her son had just been deposed as a prince and lost his leg. The scene in front of her was undoubtedly irritating to her.
Concubine Snow stepped forward with a stern expression.
Xie Ziyuefu saw her as soon as he turned around. No matter what he thought in his heart, the courtesy on his face was hard to fault:
"I, my concubine, see you, the concubine."
After saying that, she hugged her daughter and said softly: "A-Xuan, I have met Princess Xue."
"I've met Princess Xue." Gu Xuan looked at Princess Xue with her big eyes wide open, and her bright expression stunned Princess Xue for a moment.
But only for a moment.
After a moment, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she pointedly said:
"The Ai family can understand the imperial concubine's love for her daughter. It's just that this is behind the Taiji Palace and very close to the Xuanwu Palace. Is such a dignified and solemn place suitable for flying a kite?"
What she meant was that Xie Ziyue didn't understand etiquette and couldn't tell the difference between occasions.
After all, Xuanwu Hall and Taiji Hall are both main halls, and are where civil and military officials gather.
Doing such childish things in such a place is, at best, a lack of etiquette, and at worst, contempt for the imperial authority.
Wherever you should do what you do.
Thinking of this, Princess Xue slightly raised her lips, unable to hide her sarcasm: "Your Majesty, this palace is no better than outside the palace. As the head of the imperial concubine, you should set an example and don't insult your position."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Weiyang Palace dared not speak out in anger.
Gu Xuan was furious when she heard this.
This fierce-looking Concubine Snow actually said this about her mother-in-law! How can the mother-in-law's sweet baby endure such a tone?
She stared, and before Xie Ziyue could speak, she spoke angrily:
"But, this is my father's home."
"I am Father's favorite baby, can't I fly a kite here?"
