"Did you bake these?" Han Xianzong looked shocked.
Gu Xuan gave him an affirmative look.
"Okay!" Han Xianzong immediately picked up one, opened it and stuffed it into his mouth, giving a thumbs up to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan looked at Xie Ziyue expectantly.
Xie Ziyue was very considerate and picked up the sweet potatoes to eat. The two of them praised them while eating: "It's so good."
Gu Xuan chuckled, of course the poorly baked ones are not here...she was just joking when she said that before.
How could she let her father eat burnt sweet potatoes when her father was so kind to her?
In short, the three of them sat in the dining room and had a pleasant meal of roasted sweet potatoes, laughing while eating. Han Xianzong rested here in the evening.
The next day was the day when everyone should return to the palace, but when they were about to leave, Tao Xiangfu said something in Xie Ziyue's ear.
"What's wrong?" Han Xianzong was having breakfast. Seeing that something seemed to have happened, he raised his head and asked.
Xie Ziyue pondered for a moment, organized some words, and then said: "It is said that yesterday the three princesses pestered Xue Bin to go back to the palace to see her mother. They made a fuss in the snow for half a night, and finally fell asleep. By now they had a fever. ”
If she was an obedient and sensible princess, she was still a child after all. Xie Ziyue would try her best to make up for her in front of Han Xianzong.
But the third princess has always been annoying in front of her, and she has bullied her daughter before. It's strange that Xie Ziyue likes her.
Moreover, it was the third princess who did this in the first place, and she did not randomly put the shit basin in the hands of the third princess.
"You have a fever?" Han Xianzong selectively ignored Xie Ziyue's previous words and said casually: "Let the accompanying imperial physician take a look. If it feels better, we will set off."
He frowned when he spoke. Although he didn't like the third princess, he didn't have any children under his knees, so he was still a bit more sophisticated.
"Yes." Taoxiang glanced at Xie Ziyue, saw her mother-in-law nodded imperceptibly, and then turned around and left.
"Your Majesty, please use more of this delicious soup. It's not bad." Xie Ziyue didn't want to bring the topic to the third princess anymore, so she scooped the soup herself and handed it to Han Xianzong.
Han Xianzong was very happy with his concubine's service, with a smile on his face, and the topic was quickly dropped.
In the afternoon, the third princess finally felt better, and everyone returned to the palace.
Being in Guoan Temple was always not as comfortable as being in the palace. After returning to Weiyang Palace, Gu Xuan took a bath and felt much cooler all over.
Han Xianzong had to deal with a lot of affairs due to the ceremony of enthroning the queen. When he returned to the palace, he told him that he would not come over tonight and would handle matters in Qinzheng Hall.
So Gu Xuan planned to sleep next to her mother tonight, and came to the main hall after bathing. Xie Ziyue was washed and dressed by Taoxiang, and she sat in front of her mother's dressing mirror and looked through her dowry.
There are a lot of good things in Xie Ziyue's dowry, and she is not stingy with her servants. If anyone does something nice, she will often take out the bottom items in the dowry to reward them.
But there are some good things on the upper floor, and Gu Xuan looks at them with gusto.
Xie Ziyue was not afraid that she would break her things, but he was worried that she would be poked when she was playing with her armor, so he would give her a few special words.
Tao Xiang is a person who is very good at stirring up the atmosphere. With her waiting on Xie Ziyue, she makes the mother and daughter laugh from time to time, and the atmosphere in the palace is very happy.
Just when Xie Ziyue was about to take her daughter to bed to rest, there was a knock on the door outside.
Tao Xiang was still in the room, and she frowned and cursed: "Who has no eyes? I didn't realize it's so late now, and you dare to disturb the queen!"
She cursed as she walked out of the door, carefully covering the thick curtain to prevent the cold air from getting in.
Standing at the door was Xin Zhangjing. When he saw the angry Taoxiang, he whispered something.
"What happened?"
Through the thick curtain, Xie Ziyue couldn't hear clearly what the two of them were talking about.
But it was so late, something must have happened.
She sat up from the bed, turned around and laid Gu Xuan between the quilts. She was blinking at herself, curling her lips and smiling:
"Are you not sleepy yet? If you are, go to sleep!"
"Sleep with me, Queen~" Gu Xuan said in a coquettish voice, "Otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
"Isn't this here?" Xie Ziyue said with a smile, "You are so old and you are not ashamed, and you have to sleep next to your mother."
What she said was just to show off her words. She didn't know how happy she was that Gu Xuan could come and sleep next to her.
Of course Gu Xuan knew that the queen mother was telling the truth, and even though she hummed a few times, like a little pig, she didn't expose her.
"Your Majesty," Tao Xiang opened the door and came in from the outside. She quickly walked to the bed and reported:
"It is said that the third princess's fever has become more serious, and Xue Bin came here to report it to you."
"What are you reporting to me for?" Xie Ziyue pursed her lips: "I am not an imperial physician. Can't we just ask her to ask for an imperial physician?"
A wise empress went to personally visit the emperor's heir when he was ill, but Xie Ziyue was not such a person.
Besides, she didn't like the third princess in the first place. She was responsible for the third princess's illness this time. She still expected her, the middle palace, to visit her in person?
Stop dreaming.
Xue Bin usually seems to be a smart person, but why is she so confused at times like this?
"My servant knows that, so I sent Xue Bin's people away just now." Taoxiang knew that Xie Ziyue would say this, and now she came in just to inform her.
"As long as the imperial doctor is watching over the affairs over there. If you come back later, just tell me that I have rested." Xie Ziyue looked at Taoxiang with admiration in her eyes and gave an order in passing.
Tao Xiang nodded: "I understand."
Knowing that Xie Ziyue was going to take the princess to bed, she quietly put down the curtain, used scissors to cut the candle wicks on both sides of the bed, and then quietly exited the main hall.
Xie Ziyue lay on the bed, raised her arms and held Gu Xuan in her arms.
This posture made Gu Xuan feel safe, and she soon fell asleep.
She usually sleeps deeply and wakes up the next day.
But that night, I was woken up by Xie Ziyue's voice.
Half asleep, she opened her eyes and saw dimly that the candles in the hall were very bright, and her mother seemed to be talking to Taoxiang.
But because she was too sleepy, Gu Xuan couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
She remained in this half-dream state and listened for a long time, but couldn't hear anything. In the end, she couldn't resist the sleepiness and continued to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, I was choked by mugwort.
The hall was full of the smell of mugwort, and she couldn't stop coughing as soon as she woke up:
"Mother Sun——" She shouted subconsciously:
"Why did you start smoking mugwort again?"
"Princess, are you awake?" Grandma Sun was indeed there.
