"What's wrong with the Queen Mother?" Xie Ziyue was a little confused.
Ever since the incident with the first empress happened, the empress dowager has been living in seclusion in the Shoukang Palace. If it weren't for the monthly money given by the harem, it would almost make people doubt whether this person still exists.
Princess Fukang has also changed her previous high-profile temperament. In the past two years, she can count on one hand the number of times she has entered the palace.
This time a plague broke out in the palace, what on earth did she think about walking out of Shoukang Palace and being active in everyone's field of vision?
"Not Princess Fukang yet," Concubine Defi apparently heard this, but because she was worried about Gu Xuan's condition, she didn't say anything immediately after she arrived, but Taoxiang took the lead.
Now when Xie Ziyue asked, she told everything she knew:
"That concubine was also unlucky. She actually had a difficult delivery, and the child was raised by Fukang... The prince-in-law was very lost for a long time. Princess Fukang was also a little persistent. Later, she found a lot of prescriptions, and it turned out that it was true. With one, a little bully was born, and it is said that he was raised arrogantly at such a young age.”
Princess Fukang had a confrontation with the consort in the street, and this matter had been talked about for a long time. Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty decreed that the concubine should be allowed to take concubines, but Princess Fukang continued to make trouble for a long time, but in the end the matter was settled.
However, from some of the attitudes of Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty, Princess Fukang knew that the Queen Mother was like a Bodhisattva crossing the river, and she could not protect herself, so she finally became wiser for a while.
As a result, the concubine Fubo died of dystocia, so she naturally took the other's child into her lap to raise him. The concubine's mother was originally unwilling, but Fukang was a princess after all, so she compromised.
Later, Fukang sought medical advice and became pregnant. She gave birth to a son, and she doted on him so much that she raised both children like little bullies.
This time Gu Xuan got the plague. The imperial concubine's heart was focused on her daughter and she had no time to manage the panicked harem.
Concubine Rou also left the harem alone just to show off. Although Concubine De was a concubine, she did not want to take over this hot potato at that time.
There was no one to manage the harem, so the Queen Mother naturally came out to temporarily manage the Sixth Palace.
After two years, her mother finally had a place in the palace. Princess Fukang was overjoyed and hurriedly took her two children to hand over the sign to the palace.
Yesterday, her two sons made a big fuss in the Imperial Garden and ruined the precious flower seeds in the Imperial Garden.
However, Princess Fukang still felt good about herself, and the Queen Mother also cared less about these two grandsons. Even the servants close to the two did not dare to dissuade them too much.
Although the eunuchs and maids in the imperial garden dared not complain openly, the matter spread secretly.
Although there seems to be no word from the various palaces, who doesn't say behind the scenes that the Queen Mother cannot teach daughters, and the daughters she has taught cannot teach sons?
There is no good product among the three generations of grandparents.
In particular, the Queen Mother seemed not to know. In order to show her care for her daughter and grandson, she even specially invited the concubines in the palace to have a banquet at Shoukang Palace today.
Of course, only the concubines who Aunt Lanruo personally invited to the palace could go. Gu Xuan didn't invite them at all because she was suffering from the plague.
"Didn't I invite you?" Xie Ziyue heard the whole story and looked at Concubine De in confusion.
Concubine De was not infected and was in the concubine's position. Didn't she get invited?
Concubine De curled her lips: "I don't want to go."
Her father and brother were not only capable, but also knew how to protect themselves wisely. They knew that military power was too much of an eyesore, so they invited themselves to guard the border and handed over half of the tiger talisman.
There is also honor, and Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty also expressed his gratitude to such ministers, which can be said to be a prosperous holy family.
It can be said that Concubine De was able to stand upright in front of Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty, and she did not need to give the Empress Dowager this face.
Despite the previous nastiness, who doesn’t know that the Queen Mother is just a paper tiger now? Han Xianzong did not value this nominal mother at all.
Concubine De has not been pregnant again for so many years. She hates the Queen Mother and her entourage deeply, and she misses Gu Xuan, so naturally it is impossible for her to go.
Xie Ziyue also knew her temper, so she nodded and changed the topic.
It's just that in this world, the more you don't want to meet people, sometimes the easier it is to meet them.
After a few days, seeing that Gu Xuan was well, Han Xianzong decided to celebrate his daughter's third birthday.
Because of the reasons for setting aside the title of Queen for the time being, the third birthday of the exhortation this time was naturally not as grand as before. It was just a royal family banquet.
Even so, because Gu Xuan was favored, the emperor's relatives also worked hard to prepare generous gifts, for fear that the emperor would feel that they were disrespectful to the little princess.
The Queen Mother sat on the left, Xie Ziyue held Gu Xuan and sat on the right, and Han Xianzong sat at the top. The Queen Mother's face turned green when she saw the gifts underneath became more and more valuable.
The face of Princess Fukang below was also very ugly. When her son was born, because the Queen Mother was being reprimanded by Han Xianzong and the previous Queen passed away, she kept a low profile. No one even came to the full moon banquet.
She is her son after all! The princess's son's full-moon banquet to receive gifts was actually not as precious as this little girl's third birthday...
Princess Fukang's silver teeth are almost broken.
Now that my mother has finally stood up again, when her son celebrates his birthday next time, she will definitely do something as big as this to see if these people dare to pass off the inferior ones.
Princess Fukang just felt angry in her heart, but she also didn't think about it. Children's birthday gifts were given out of the favor of their parents. How could she and her consort be as good as Han Xianzong?
Princess Fukang was not the only one who was angry. The Queen Mother was also very angry under her cheerful face. During this period, she had a long conversation with her daughter all night long, knowing that her daughter was living a normal life while she was worshiping Buddha in the palace.
After all, she is the grandson of the current Queen Mother, but receiving the gift was actually quite awkward... This made her curl her lips downwards. After the gift-giving and singing of promises were over, she said with a smile:
"After all, Xiangjia is the eldest daughter of the emperor and has a distinguished status. Only Xiangjia can afford these gifts. The grandson of the Ai family is an idle person. According to Fukang, he grabbed the book at the full moon banquet. I don’t know how many books I will read in the future.”
Although the Queen Mother was sour, she still understood the importance. On such a great day, I must first praise Gu Xuan and then bring the topic to Princess Fukang.
After hearing this, Princess Fukang picked up her fat son who was still stuffing cakes in his arms and urged:
"Ze Kai, I haven't met your emperor uncle yet."
Because of all the previous nastiness, this was the first time Han Xianzong officially met his cheap nephew.
Seeing that his body was covered with meat, his face was squeezed into a ball, and he kept stuffing cakes into his mouth, eating with his mouth full, he frowned subconsciously.
However, he was also grateful for the Queen Mother's kindness in managing the harem before. With so many royal relatives here, it was difficult to offend the Queen Mother, so he gave Wu Zekai a small jade pendant hanging around his waist.
This jade pendant was an ordinary jade pendant, but it was different after being worn by the emperor. Princess Fukang was immediately overjoyed.
