When Princess Fukang came in from outside, she brought in a gust of cold wind. She lowered the opened curtain and took two quick steps towards the inner room.
"The princess is here?" Xie Ziyue glanced at her, pointed to the seat next to her, and motioned for her to sit there.
"Isn't it? It's getting colder today, and it's not dark yet."
Princess Fukang sat next to Xie Ziyue, and they both glanced at the sky outside the window. The sky was gray, but far from black.
"It is indeed almost winter." Xie Ziyue flipped the lid of the tea and skimmed off the foam on the surface: "We have to start preparations for winter affairs in the palace again."
"How is Xiangjia?" After Princess Fukang joked with Xie Ziyue for a while, the topic finally got on the right track and turned to Gu Xuan, whom she was most concerned about.
When she said this, her eyes turned back and forth, and she didn't see Gu Xuan as expected.
"It's getting better," Xie Ziyue's eyebrows softened when she mentioned her daughter. "After the imperial doctor prescribed medicine before, she got better. It's just that she was sleepy after taking the medicine. She fell asleep now, otherwise she would have been left alone." Get up and say hello to the princess."
This is what Xie Ziyue said.
She cared about Gu Xuan and regarded her as if she were her lifeblood. It was already late now, and it was impossible for her to come over even if her daughter was not asleep. It was just an excuse.
"Where are these words?" Princess Fukang pointedly said with a smile, "A-Xuan is the most distinguished princess in the palace. She is no different from me. Why do you need to salute me?"
Her words sounded okay at first glance. Gu Xuan was indeed the most noble princess in the palace. Xie Ziyue's position was already at the top of the concubines, so the princess she gave birth to was naturally the most noble.
But if you look carefully, you can feel something is wrong.
What does "no different from me" mean?
Because of what happened in the early years, Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty had been indifferent to Princess Fukang for so many years, but only among these high-ranking concubines.
In the eyes of other concubines and people outside the royal family, Princess Fukang is the Queen Mother's biological daughter and a serious legitimate princess.
Is what she said above a metaphor that makes no sense, or is it...
Xie Ziyue was a smart person and was keenly aware of the difference in her words, and looked at Princess Fukang.
Princess Fukang couldn't help but sigh: "The Imperial Concubine is really smart."
She didn't say it clearly at the first time. Her eyes rested on Xie Ziyue's beautiful face for a moment, and then she slowly said the news she heard:
"Master Mowang came to the palace today. When the servants came to report, I happened to be there too. At that time, the emperor was busy dealing with that bitch..."
Speaking of Concubine Jin, a look of cruelty flashed across Princess Fukang's eyebrows, but she was still thinking about the business in her heart, so she quickly got to the point:
"Brother Huang was fed up and sent him away. Later, the slave came again, and Brother Huang had no choice but to follow him to see Master Mo Wang."
Xie Ziyue has been listening patiently with a calm expression.
Princess Fukang glanced at her indifferent expression, and couldn't help but laugh this time: "Later, the queen mother was called to the Qinzheng Hall, and it was said that it was a matter of establishing a queen."
I have to say that Princess Fukang has become a bit smarter in recent years, perhaps because she and Xie Ziyue are no longer tit-for-tat. She can see the situation very clearly and knows how to be herself so that she can live a better life in the future.
Xie Ziyue would know about the Queen's establishment sooner or later. At that time, she used the excuse of looking after Gu Xuan to tell Xie Ziyue the news in advance, and also made her position clear.
Furthermore, her words showed her and the Queen Mother's support, and Xie Ziyue would also remember some of her feelings in the future.
So many years have passed since what happened before, and the palace is a place where one should turn a blind eye. If you can't get rid of the sand in your eyes, you will be like a lone wolf, without help from all sides.
Princess Fukang took this opportunity to tell Xie Ziyue that they would not have to be at war with each other in the future.
As soon as she said this, Taoxiang and the others looked at each other and became visibly happy.
However, they were worried that their master had not spoken yet, and no matter how happy they were, they did not make a sound.
Xie Ziyue was surprised for a moment and looked a little dazed.
At that time, Master Mo Wang's criticism was that the national movement was in turmoil, and she had lost the position of queen within her reach, but she had no time to care about it at that time.
At that time, A-Xuan was infected with the plague, and she devoted all her attention to her daughter.
Even later I felt that blessings and misfortunes depended on each other. Maybe this incident offset Gu Xuan's misfortune.
Princess Fukang also saw that Xie Ziyue was distracted, and congratulated her a few more times before getting up and leaving.
"Your Majesty," after sending Princess Fukang out of the gate of Weiyang Palace, Tao Xiang walked back quickly and said with excitement:
"You've finally made it through!"
"Is this considered a hard time?" Xie Ziyue picked up the makeup mirror placed on the couch. Although the person in the mirror did not look like a 28-year-old girl, she could not conceal her charm:
"This time, we must settle it quickly."
Looking at the delicate eyebrows in the mirror, Xie Ziyue's voice was firm.
Chi Ze changed. Because of Gu Xuan's relationship, she didn't have much resentment in her heart, but this time, she must seize the opportunity.
Tao Xiang also knew that there was something wrong with what she just said, and now she said with a smile:
"Look at this stupid mouth of this slave! It's my first job that I've always been in the palace. How did I survive this day? But I will be a more noble person from now on, and everyone in Weiyang Palace is happy!"
Xin Zhangjing also nodded repeatedly:
"Isn't that so? Your Majesty? You are the Emperor's favorite. Master Mo Wang came to the palace and told the Emperor about this matter after careful calculation. The Emperor couldn't wait to invite the Queen Mother. Isn't this the intention to settle the matter quickly? ?”
His face was beaming with joy, and his tone was ups and downs, sounding very happy.
He was the one who found out about Concubine Jin. Xie Ziyue had never thought of it before. When she heard him speak, she laughed out loud:
"You do know how to say auspicious words, Xin Zhangjing, you have done an excellent job as my concubine, but I still have one more thing that I need you to do."
Hearing that the empress had business instructions, Xin Zhangjing immediately put away the playful expression on his face and said seriously:
"What do you want me to do, Madam?"
"Concubine Jin, I need you to do something." Xie Ziyue lowered her voice and told Xin Zhangjing her plan.
Xin Zhangjing nodded repeatedly and hurried down after accepting the order.
Tao Xiang also listened and couldn't help but look worried: "Mother, Concubine Jin has entered the Luoyu Palace, and she probably won't live a good life in the future. Why do we need to wade into troubled waters?"
Just now, Xie Ziyue ordered Xin Zhangjing to tell his servants to put some drugs that disturbed Concubine Jin's mind in her food.
In Tao Xiang's view, all this is unnecessary.
"Is it really Master Wu that Concubine Jin wants to harm?" Xie Ziyue slowly tightened the handle of the mirror in her hand: "If she wants to harm either me or Ah Xuan, she should die if she dares to harm Ah Xuan. "
