With this jade pendant, who else in the capital dares to look down on her and her son?
She immediately patted Wu Zekai and signaled her son to call someone: "Zekai, why don't you thank your emperor uncle quickly?"
Wu Zekai was usually spoiled by her. The pastries in the palace were so exquisite that he couldn't even eat them at home. Now he was stuffing things into his mouth, so how could he bother calling someone?
Feeling that his mother was patting him, he impatiently hit Princess Fukang, very naughty.
His brother Wu Zesheng was also eating at the same time. As expected, both brothers were raised by Princess Fukang. They were exactly the same.
The other dignitaries looked at each other and secretly complained in their hearts that Princess Fukang really didn't know how to raise children.
It is said that age determines how old you are, but at first glance, these two sons looked like uneducated playboys who wandered around the streets.
Han Xianzong probably had the same idea in his mind. When Princess Fukang saw him frowning, she raised her hand to hit her again, but he stopped her with words:
"Okay, he's still young anyway, so it will be the same if he calls me again."
In fact, he didn't want to hear Fukang beating the child on his daughter's birthday. If someone beat him to tears, he would be upset when the time came.
Princess Fukang had always looked down upon her son, but when she heard Han Xianzong say this, she immediately felt that her son had won his favor, so she naturally put her hand down.
Little did he know that Han Xianzong felt that the sound of these two fat boys eating was really unsightly, so he turned around and took his daughter into his arms.
It's better to look at your lovely and beautiful daughter to wash your eyes.
The Queen Mother was originally happy because her grandson had received a reward, but when she turned around and saw Gu Xuan being held in the arms of Han Xianzong and loving her, the smile on her face faded a bit.
She looked around the table and said in confusion:
"The Ai family used to eat fast and chant Buddha in Shoukang Palace. Although they didn't care much about the affairs of the harem, they also knew that the emperor had a second princess. Why don't they see the second princess now?"
Concubine De curled her lips secretly, this old woman really had bad intentions and always liked to throw cold water on others.
Today, she clearly knew that it was the eldest princess's birthday, but she insisted on mentioning the second princess. She didn't know if it was to offend someone, or to show her kindness as the royal grandmother?
She felt contempt in her heart, and of course it was impossible to explain it verbally.
"Go back to the Queen Mother," Rong Jieyu from below finally came to the rescue with a smile: "The second princess is the best, so Queen Mother Rou is taking care of the second princess in the palace."
"Father, I want to get down!" Gu Xuan squirmed in Han Xianzong's arms, making a fuss about getting down.
She saw that the maid serving behind her had many pastries in her hands, and she wanted to try one.
There were only a few pieces in front of the table where Xie Ziyue sat, so she only had two pieces and the concubine refused to eat them.
It happened to be there, and Gu Xuan kept an eye on that spot.
Han Xianzong was completely obedient to her, so he naturally relaxed his arms and let her slide off his knees.
Gu Xuan was about to sneak past her mother-in-law again, but she was caught by Xie Ziyue, who immediately acted coquettishly and said she wanted to eat cakes.
Seeing her daughter staring down, Xie Ziyue was very helpless: "I really admire you, eat less cakes."
"Good concubine, I'll just eat a piece." Gu Xuan made a gesture and begged: "I haven't eaten for more than ten days, I just want to eat~"
Xie Ziyue was very obedient to her daughter in the past. Since the plague, she has become even more indulgent towards her daughter because of the lost relationship.
When Gu Xuan mentioned those ten days, she suddenly lost her temper and asked Taoxiang to follow her, supervising Gu Xuan to only go over and eat one piece.
Gu Xuan suddenly cheered a little and realized that her voice was a bit loud. Many people looked at her and immediately covered their mouths.
Before she contracted the plague, although her face was small, it was plump.
Although it is better now, there is less flesh on the face and it looks smaller.
She covered her mouth with her small palms and looked around in a panic with her big eyes. Many people found her cute.
These people also include Yan Zui, who is sitting below.
Yan Zhui is now seven years old. Unlike the chubby little boy before, he now looks like a little adult.
Strictly speaking, the first time he met Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan was not born yet.
He also particularly liked this sister during the full moon party when she was born later.
He even asked his mother to often take him into the palace to meet his sister.
It's just that although his family is an important minister, he can't enter the palace all the time. Later, he made trouble several times but couldn't get the law.
This time, it was the third birthday of Princess Xiangjia, and Mrs. Zhenbei Hou happened to be invited, so he asked his mother to bring him.
On the way here, he kept thinking that he didn't know what the cute little sister looked like now, but she must be very cute.
Later, when he saw her in the arms of the imperial concubine, she was even more beautiful than he had imagined, and she was particularly cute, as agile as the little fox he raised.
He had been paying attention to Gu Xuan, and saw Gu Xuan coming down from above, following the palace maid to the side to ask for cakes, and sneaking over there while his mother was not paying attention.
The other adults started a new topic at this time. When it came to the second princess, Princess Fukang had a lot to make a fuss about.
She pointedly said:
"Before I was in the princess's mansion, I heard that the plague was very serious. The palace must have been strictly guarding against it. Who knew that the plague actually spread to the palace and caused the two princesses to be infected... I don't know what happened. Who caught it first..."
What she said was very interesting. At first it sounded like she was complaining, but her tone hinted that there was something serious about this matter. Could someone be infected and pass it on to whom on purpose?
Many courtiers and family members heard what she was saying, but they were just concerned about her identity, so no one dared to answer the question at this time.
"Fukang, although you are not in the palace, you know everything about the palace." Han Xianzong did not answer this question, nor did he scold him, and his tone was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger.
Princess Fukang covered her mouth and smiled:
"Look at what the emperor said. My sister also cares about the emperor and the queen. You are both in the palace. How can I not care about them?"
"At that time, I heard that something happened in the palace. My sister was worried at home all day long, for fear that something would go wrong..."
She has become a lot smarter after such a long time, and her reply was impeccable. The Queen Mother nodded secretly in her heart.
The Queen Mother also knew what her daughter wanted to express, so she answered:
"You do have a filial heart. If you have this heart, the Ai family and the emperor will appreciate it, but..."
At this point, she paused: "Logically speaking, there is still a distance between Weiyang Palace and Lanxin Palace, and people from the two palaces have little contact. How could the princesses of the two palaces be infected with the plague at the same time... This is indeed a strange thing."
Xie Ziyue's face was calm, and she noticed that many people were looking at her secretly, and deliberately showed some guilt.
The Queen Mother and Princess Fukang thought they knew the truth and mentioned the matter one after another, but they didn't know that they were playing into Xie Ziyue's hands.
