Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty had said many times before that he would make her his queen at the beginning of spring. Perhaps because time was so full after having a child, Xie Ziyue actually forgot about this.
It wasn't until she saw his expression now that she vaguely guessed what he was thinking.
Then Lenovo Laifu revealed that he had been summoning the Minister of Rites in the past few days. Xie Ziyue was not a fool and guessed it almost immediately.
Could it be an imperial edict from the Queen?
Xie Ziyue's hesitant expression successfully pleased Han Xianzong. He carefully placed the little snowman made by his daughter on the table, then stood up and took the imperial edict he had placed on the table.
The handwriting on it was revised and modified by him, as if these meanings could not describe Xie Ziyue in his heart, so he was still thinking about the words.
But the last sentence, "My destiny is recorded as a treasure, and I will make you the queen" has not been modified at all.
The edict in front of me is a dream that many women in the harem can't achieve in their lives. Now it is held in front of Xie Ziyue like a treasure by Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty, as if just to win the beauty's smile.
Xie Ziyue was speechless for a moment. There seemed to be thousands of words stuck in her throat, but in such a situation, she didn't know what to say.
Han Xianzong understood Xie Ziyue just as Xie Ziyue understood Han Xianzong.
Both of them knew what each other had to say. Although they didn't speak at the moment, indescribable emotions flowed silently between them, which was naturally a tender feeling.
At this time, it was Gu Xuan who broke the calm. She looked at the imperial edict with pretense of confusion, as if she didn't understand:
"Father, what is this?"
Her confused voice brought Han Xianzong and Xie Ziyue back from their vague thoughts. Han Xianzong picked her up and asked:
"Axuan, do you want to be a princess?"
When Gu Xuan said in front of him that she was not the legitimate princess, both Han Xianzong and Xie Ziyue secretly felt sad for a while.
But after this imperial edict is issued, Gu Xuan will be a proper princess from now on.
The eldest princess.
"I think so." Gu Xuan nodded, "This way I can continue flying the kite."
The childish words were particularly innocent, but Han Xianzong smiled knowingly when he heard the words.
"Then on your birthday, my father will issue an edict, okay?"
It was half a month before Gu Xuan's birthday, and the day was also very good. Han Xianzong planned to read out the imperial edict of establishing the queen on his daughter's birthday.
"Okay." Gu Xuan clapped her hands happily and counted the days on her fingers.
It's just that she is so young that she probably doesn't even know the current year, so how can she figure it out?
Xie Ziyue and Han Xianzong smiled and looked at her for a long time, and finally raised their eyes to ask for help: "Mother, how long do I have until my birthday?"
"Princess, I can't wait to celebrate my birthday." Taoxiang finally found a chance to interrupt, teasing with a smile.
When Han Xianzong and Xie Ziyue talked about establishing a queen, she and the two nuns were extremely happy. I just couldn't get a word in at the time.
She is still a cute little princess, and the way she can’t wait to celebrate her birthday is really endearing.
"Half a month." Xie Ziyue paused after speaking, "Fifteen days."
"Oh~" Gu Xuan nodded thoughtfully, folding and unfolding ten slender short fingers, so busy that she seemed to have lost count.
When Gu Xuan came to this world, she was determined to enjoy another childhood. Therefore, she was naughty and loved to play. She just wanted to enjoy her childhood more.
She is consciously forgetting the past, because she is extremely happy in this life.
"It seems that I should hire a master for my little princess, otherwise what will happen if she doesn't know how to count in the future?" Han Xianzong coughed twice, shook his head and sighed.
"Your Majesty..." Before Gu Xuan could say anything, Xie Ziyue frowned and said, "A-Xuan is still young, let her play more."
Before Han Xianzong could continue to persuade, Xie Ziyue played the emotional card:
"I finally found Ah Xuan with great difficulty. I hope she will be happy and always by my side. If she goes to school..."
Her eyes were lowered and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Before she could finish her words, Han Xianzong surrendered:
"Okay, okay, if I don't go, I won't go."
Thinking about it carefully, it was true that he and his concubine finally had A-Xuan. Let her have fun and don't worry about going to school.
Gu Xuan's crisis in going to school had already been easily solved by her mother and concubine before it even started.
On the way back to the palace, she was so unhappy that she even lied in her mother's arms and burst out:
"Mother, I don't want to go to school."
Xie Ziyue's hand that was originally caressing her daughter's back paused, and she lowered her head in disbelief: "This can't work."
She doesn't want her daughter to go to school at a young age, but she doesn't want her to be a vulgar princess who can't read!
"Then how old should I be to go?" Gu Xuan raised her head and stared at Xie Ziyue with her big, clear eyes, trying to show that she didn't want to go.
Xie Ziyue didn't answer. She smoothed the broken hair on her forehead with her hands and said in a brisk tone:
"Be good now and don't think about that."
She touched Gu Xuan's hand with her other hand and noticed that her daughter's hand was still cold. She moved Mrs. Tang closer to her hand, feeling a little worried.
It's so cold today, and I've been outside for so long, and my hands are still cold. I don't know if I'll catch a cold in such cold ice water.
Xie Ziyue was worried and planned to go back as soon as possible while it was still early to let her daughter take a bath to reduce the chance of catching cold.
But sometimes she is really afraid of what will happen. Xie Ziyue was just worried in her heart and quickly bathed her daughter after returning.
As a result, Gu Xuan still developed a fever in the middle of the night, and she was in a daze. Xie Ziyue took her daughter to bed, and in the middle of the night, she felt that the body of the little guy next to her was burning hot.
She was still dazed and suddenly woke up. When she got up, she saw that her daughter's face was burning red and her forehead was covered with sweat.
Xie Ziyue quickly called Tao Xiang and asked Tao Xiang to call the imperial doctor. She and the two nuns took off the handkerchief on her daughter's forehead and put it on her forehead, trying to lower the temperature on her daughter's forehead.
It is normal for children to have a fever at night. The imperial doctor had told Xie Ziyue before that Xie Ziyue guessed that her daughter might have caught a cold while playing in the snow during the day.
But knowing the reason, she was also anxious. She was busy hurriedly wearing her underwear. The temperature was extremely low now, but soon her whole body became cold and her hands became cold.
However, the two nuns noticed it with sharp eyes and quickly brought her a cloak and put it on her:
"My dear, please put your clothes on quickly, don't get cold."
Xie Ziyue was absent-minded and allowed the two nuns to put the cloak on her. She kept her gaze on Gu Xuan on the bed, her eyes showing worry that could not be concealed.
It seems that A-Xuan can't be allowed to play in the snow anymore. She hasn't been sick for a long time, so why did she suddenly develop a high fever at night.
