"Really?" Gu Xuan was not embarrassed at all. Since her father gave it to her, she accepted it without any ceremony.
She is a child anyway.
The fragrant pendant that the mothers had made for her before had been of no use because the kit had fallen off. It comes in handy now.
Gu Xuan took the jade pendant in her hand and looked at it carefully. She pointed at the words on it and asked, "Father, what is on this?"
That is the word "heng", but Gu Xuan is only two years old now, so logically she would not recognize it.
"Heng." Han Xianzong whispered softly: "Pronounced 'Heng', it is the name of my father."
The Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty was named Gu Heng. When he was the prince, he was not favored by the late emperor, so he did not choose the name carefully. It is said that when he was born, the late emperor was practicing calligraphy in the imperial study.
As soon as he heard that a prince was born, the late emperor waved his hand and directly gave the character "Heng" he had just written as the name of Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty.
This matter made Han Xianzong so worried that after he had a daughter, he was very worried about her name.
"Oh." Gu Xuan shook her head: "Heng, Heng."
Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty was overjoyed when he heard her calling his name with a milky voice. However, Xie Ziyue's eyebrows twitched, "A-Xuan, I want to call you Father."
"I know, I know~" Gu Xuan looked troubled.
"Our A-Xuan is smart and cute. If she studies, she will definitely become the most talented princess in the capital." Han Xianzong seemed to sigh.
Gu Xuan's eyes widened instantly and she looked at Han Xianzong in disbelief.
She is only two years old!
She is still so young, does her father already care about letting her study?
Not only Gu Xuan was shocked, but also Xie Ziyue.
Xie Ziyue hesitated to speak, but couldn't help but persuade her: "Your Majesty, how old is Ah Xuan? Let her have more fun."
What kind of school should such a young child study? Although today's women only need to recite the Four Books and Five Classics and the female training and female precepts, Xie Ziyue also hopes that her daughter will play for a few more years.
Anyway, with her and Han Xianzong here, are you still worried that your daughter will not be able to find a good consort in the future?
Han Xianzong actually just said it casually, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction from Xie Ziyue and Gu Xuan.
He rarely thought of joking, and deliberately teased: "A-Xuan is so smart, from now on I will follow my father to the imperial study, and my father will teach you how to read when he is free."
Gu Xuan lowered her head to look at the jade pendant, pretending she couldn't hear it.
"Axuan, don't you want to?" Han Xianzong was happy when he saw her like this: "I originally said that I would take you to fly a kite after work every day, but it seems that you..."
"Flying a kite?" Gu Xuan's eyes lit up and she raised her face.
From her gaze, you can see the teasing in Han Xianzong's eyes.
Seeing this, what else does Gu Xuan not understand?
Her father never thought about teaching her how to read. He was probably just joking and deliberately teasing her.
The understanding Gu Xuan's eyes flashed with cunning, and she hugged her father's neck and shook her hard: "Father, don't let the baby learn to read. The baby only flies a kite."
"Okay, okay," Han Xianzong was obviously very impressed by his daughter's coquettishness. He grabbed his daughter's little hand, put it to his mouth, kissed it hard, and squeezed it fondly:
"If you don't like to read, don't read. Even if you don't know how to read, you are still my father's favorite little princess."
The father and daughter laughed happily.
Han Xianzong played with his daughter and concubine in Weiyang Palace for a long time before leaving. When he came back in the evening, Gu Xuan had already fallen asleep.
She is sleeping in the innermost place now, and Xie Ziyue is still sleeping outside.
Seeing Han Xianzong coming, Xie Ziyue was surprised and whispered: "Why is Your Majesty coming here so late?"
The palace attendants outside didn't make a sound either. It was obviously Han Xianzong's special instruction.
"Come and take a look." Han Xianzong came to the bed and looked at Gu Xuan inside. He couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw that she was sleeping like a little pig.
"Wait for me." After Han Xianzong said this, he went to the side hall to take a bath.
After he came back from bathing, he slept outside, holding Xie Ziyue in his arms, and the two talked every now and then.
After talking for a while, Han Xianzong said casually: "The coming spring will be a good day."
"What a good day?"
"After hearing what A Xuan said today, I really feel bad." Han Xianzong sighed and said:
"Now that the position in the middle palace is vacant, you have given birth to a princess for me. It's past time for her to be promoted to a higher position."
The imperial concubine is already inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. If she wants to be promoted again, wouldn't it only be the queen?
Xie Ziyue took a breath and said: "Your Majesty, Ah Xuan is just a child's talk, it cannot be taken seriously..."
It was just Concubine Xue's words. Did Han Xianzong really want to promote A Xuan because of her complaint?
You must know that the queen is related to the government's affairs, and it is extremely important whether she is established or abolished. The establishment of a queen is not only a matter for Your Majesty, but also the satisfaction of the courtiers.
"I am not because of A Xuan's words." Han Xianzong said seriously: "In other words, it is not just because of A Xuan's words."
A Xuan's words were just an opportunity. Previously, the court officials were trying to manipulate Han Xianzong, and because he had no real power, Han Xianzong had no choice but to wrong his sweetheart.
But things are different now. It has been three years since he ascended the throne.
The power he has regained is enough to support him in establishing a beloved woman as his queen.
There is no better time than this as the position of Queen is currently vacant.
It's just that Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty thought that it would be winter when the decree was announced in the summer and the ceremony of enfeoffing the queen was ready. At that time, everything was inconvenient, and the winter in the capital was too cold.
It would be better to leave it until next spring and make the decree when my daughter turns three years old, so that the preparations can be made as soon as autumn approaches.
The crisp autumn weather is the most suitable time for celebrations.
"We all understand how His Majesty treats me and A-Xuan." Xie Ziyue said it was a lie to say she was not moved, and it was also a lie to say she was not moved.
The position of queen should belong to her. In the past, she felt that she could not have children, so it would be okay to be an imperial concubine.
But now she has A-Xuan.
The higher her position, the higher A-Xuan's honor.
The eldest princess has always been extremely precious and takes advantage of her. Even if she has nothing to do in the future, no one can bully her daughter.
So Xie Ziyue did not continue to refuse, but chose to acquiesce.
Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty hugged his beloved concubine, who was as beautiful as a flower, and couldn't help laughing: "From now on, A-Xuan will never say that she is not the princess."
Xie Ziyue smiled and hummed.
The lotus flowers in the lotus pond gradually faded, and the scenery of the palace became depressed due to the change of seasons.
The season is gradually entering winter.
But this year's cold winter has been particularly difficult. First of all, there was the snow disaster in the North. The heavy snow crushed people's houses and thousands of people froze to death on the roadside.
People are displaced, and winter is no better than other seasons. Once they spend the night outside, they are very likely to die of hypothermia.
The wine and meat in the rich family stink, and there are bones frozen to death on the road, that's all.
Such a big snow disaster has never happened in previous years. The Han Xian Sect sent many people to deal with it and allocated a lot of money, but the effect was very little.
