It's just that Xie Ziyue was extraordinarily insistent on this matter. No matter how hard Gu Xuan tried to persuade her, she firmly disagreed. Even Gu Xuan's trump card failed to work.
Gu Xuan pestered her for a whole day, but she didn't let go at all.
Gu Xuan didn't use much of her dinner at night because she was worried.
As a result, I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I rolled around on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Just as she sat up straight and began to think about whether to let Grandma Sun go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat, she suddenly heard the sound of her own door opening.
She was afraid of the dark and would not blow out the candle next to her bed every night when she rested. When she heard the door being opened, she opened the bed curtain and found Xie Ziyue walking in carrying a food box.
Xie Ziyue obviously didn't expect to stare at her daughter as soon as she came in, but when she saw Gu Xuan's eyes fixed on the food box, she understood instantly.
"Still not sleeping at this late hour?" She came up and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Mother, did you bring something delicious?" Gu Xuan's eyes sparkled: "Is it my favorite food?"
"Isn't it your favorite food?" Xie Ziyue tapped her forehead with her finger in annoyance, but she didn't hesitate to say:
"You don't even have to say anything about it, why do you have no appetite for dinner? We'll talk about it later if you want to go. Now your father is not sure. If you really want to go in the future, who else can stop you?"
When Gu Xuan turned six, she was a little thinner than when she was young, but her appetite was still as good as before.
She used to eat a lot for dinner, but tonight she didn't use her chopsticks at all. She only took two chopsticks of her favorite squab.
Xie Ziyue saw all this, but she deliberately didn't say anything, just waiting to tell her why she couldn't do this in the future.
After her daughter left, she asked someone in the small kitchen to warm the squab and other Gu Xuan's favorite dishes, and then brought the food box over when the time was almost up.
"Really? Mother, won't you stop me in the future?" Gu Xuan was overjoyed and wished she could get into her arms.
"Why should I stop you from doing what you like...Okay, okay, stop doing it, your favorite pigeon soup will be spilled later." Xie Ziyue smiled and held her head against her head with one hand. She hugged her and pulled the quilt on the bed to her shoulders:
"In the future, you must remember that nothing is worth affecting these things. You must be open-minded in everything you do. If you let a small thing affect you, you will only make yourself uncomfortable."
"Yeah," Gu Xuan leaned close to her and carefully opened the food box. When she saw that the top layer was her favorite drunken crab, she cheered, picked it up and gnawed, "It's delicious."
Grandma Sun moved the two stools on the side, and Xie Ziyue placed the layer containing a few crabs on the stools, exposing the squab soup in the middle.
Then remove the pigeon soup layer, and at the bottom there is the jasmine glass roll that Gu Xuan likes to eat.
Xie Ziyue placed all these things on another stool and pulled it towards the bed to ensure that Gu Xuan could reach it.
"Mother, when did the jasmine glass rolls come out? I didn't see them at night!" Gu Xuan took the time to ask while eating crabs.
When we had dinner before, there were obviously no jasmine glaze rolls on the table!
"I thought that some greedy little cat might be hungry in the middle of the night, so I asked the kitchen to prepare it." Seeing that she was eating in a hurry, Xie Ziyue was afraid that she would choke. Fortunately, Tao Xiang noticed it and hurriedly poured a glass of water over to her. .
"Princess, you don't know that the empress specially ordered these dishes that you love to be kept warm. The jasmine glass rolls were also specially brought to the kitchen by the empress. I know you like them." Tao Xiang looked at Gu Xuan with a smile.
Gu Xuan was so moved, but unfortunately there was something wrapped in her mouth. She had just drank two mouthfuls of water, and now her mouth was slurred.
Xie Ziyue didn't understand what she said.
After she finally swallowed everything in her mouth, she immediately hugged Xie Ziyue and kissed her intimately: "Queen Mother, you are so kind~ I want to sleep with you tonight!"
Anyway, my father didn’t come over tonight.
"Then eat quickly!" Xie Ziyue hugged her, pulled the quilt on one side, and rolled her up like a rice dumpling: "After eating, follow the mother."
"Yeah!" Gu Xuan happily took another bite of the big crab.
That night, she was next to her mother and was held by her mother. The bad dream she had last night changed, and even her dreams were sweet.
I slept until noon the next day.
When she got up from the bed in a daze, she first touched the side of the bed with her eyes closed. When she felt that the bed was cold, she knew that it was late and her mother and concubine might have gotten up early.
She rubbed her eyes and opened them. The sound of her body rubbing against the quilt made Grandma Sun, who was guarding by her side, react quickly and hurriedly came over:
"Princess is awake?"
"Where is the Queen Mother?" Gu Xuan looked around: "Why is Sister Taoxiang missing too?"
Every time she slept in the main hall before, her mother would be here when she woke up. Where did she go this time?
"Empress De is here with the second princess and the prince. The empress is worried that the second princess and the prince will disturb you, so she is taking them to the side hall."
"Rong'er and step-er are here?" Upon hearing that these two little ones were here, Gu Xuan got up from the bed excitedly, "Mother Sun, please help me wash up quickly. I want to go over and take a look."
Grandma Sun agreed and quickly dressed her and washed her.
Gu Xuan, who was very interested, went to the side hall and saw Gu Rong and Gu Ji.
The three of them quickly became a group, while De Fei and Xie Ziyue were joking beside them.
Speaking of the Queen's Ceremony, it was still far away before, but according to the current time, it will be two days later, and Concubine De is still asking about Feng Guan.
When she heard that Fengguan was still with the Queen Mother, she paused and then said:
"You should send someone to ask about this matter. The Queen Mother has been here for so long. She should have sent the phoenix crown over long ago."
If it was still a long time, that would be understandable, but now that the day is so close, it is really time for Fengguan to send someone to pick it up.
Xie Ziyue nodded. If Concubine De hadn't asked about it, she wouldn't have thought of coming here today.
It was freezing and snowy at the moment, and it was inconvenient for them to go out with their children. This task naturally fell to Xin Zhangjing.
Concubine De then turned to talk about another matter: "The third princess was really unruly and ungrateful. She was tormenting in Xue Bin's palace all day long. She even scratched Xue Bin's face a few days ago. Daokouzi."
"Face?" Xie Ziyue looked dumb.
The favored concubine not only occupies a pivotal position in the emperor's heart, but also has extraordinary appearance.
Although Xue Bin is not a great beauty, she can be regarded as a delicate beauty...
This time I got a naughty princess, and my face was scratched... She was really wronged.
"Isn't that true?" Concubine De recalled the day she saw Xue Bin: "I couldn't see clearly from a distance, but when I got closer I saw it and asked, and I realized that it was the third princess who did it."
