When I woke up from a dream, it was already noon.
Xu Zhihuai was hidden in the soft brocade quilt, stretching lazily. His long arms were white and thin, and his smooth legs were half-covered, unable to hide the beautiful spring scenery.
Jinhua came over to serve her, and was surprised to see the pink hickeys on her bare back, and couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound.
Xu Zhihuai stretched out a finger, tapped her forehead, and stood up, letting the light crimson robe hang loosely around her body, calm and silent.
Jinhua helped her wash herself, and Xu Zhihuai lazily asked, "When did Your Highness leave?"
Jinhua folded her hands and made a "two" sign.
Leave at the second watch, go to court at the third watch, and then go with the Crown Princess to pay homage to the Queen.
Come to think of it, everyone in the palace knew that His Highness stayed with her last night.
Jinhua brought some clothes for her to choose from, and Xu Zhihuai shook his head unhurriedly: "Don't worry, it's rare to be quiet. I'll go lie down for a while."
Jinhua opened her mouth wide, secretly surprised.
Recently, she felt more and more that the girl seemed to have changed. She had become bold and comfortable, and was no longer as cautious, restrained and forbearing as before.
When Xu Zhihuai saw Jinhua staring at him blankly, he immediately called her over with a smile and warned: "Someone will definitely bring medicine today. I know what the medicine is used for, so you don't need to panic."
No matter where she is, the methods are the same despicable, and she has long been used to it.
Sure enough, someone soon came outside the palace gate to spread the word.
There was more than one bowl of medicine, and more than one person came.
But what surprised Xu Zhihuai was the appearance of Aunt Nan.
Since she left that fishy and resentful courtyard, they have never met again.
Today, we met again after a long absence. She looked unchanged. She was dressed in palace clothes, meticulous, and still had that cold and indifferent expression on her face.
The moment Jinhua saw her, he was stunned and turned pale with fear.
The messenger said coldly: "Now that the princess has entered the palace, the girl should respect herself more. This is Aunt Nan. She is the person sent by the empress. From now on, she will be responsible for taking care of the girl's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and teaching her every word. One line.”
Here we go again!
Xu Zhihuai smiled and bowed his head, saluting and thanking him.
She had long thought that Aunt Nan was from the palace, but she couldn't guess which palace she was from. Since it is used by the Marquis, it should be Jianzhang Palace, but after coming here for so long, she has never heard of Aunt Nan here.
Today the mystery is finally solved. The people sent by the Queen, according to the Queen's instructions... Where is Wei Li? What is her relationship with Wei Li?
Xu Zhihuai buried his curiosity and looked at Aunt Nan with a smile.
Aunt Nan slowly came to Xu Zhihuai holding the bowl of thick black soup.
This situation and scene are so familiar.
Xu Zhihuai looked at her with raised eyebrows, and smiled calmly: "There must have been a magpie calling by my window this morning. The three greatest blessings in life are meeting an old friend in a foreign land." After saying that, he raised his hand to take the medicine, but was stopped by Aunt Nan stopped for a moment: "Girl, I don't need to drink this stuff anymore."
Aunt Nan poured out the bowl of medicine in front of her, and Xu Zhihuai smiled again: "It's so rare that my aunt feels sorry for me."
"From now on, the girl will be my master, so I will naturally consider her at all times."
"Auntie is being polite, but I can't bear it."
Xu Zhihuai didn't want to go around in circles with her, so he said straightforwardly: "Auntie, you're welcome, how can I, Xu Zhihuai, be your master? I know myself."
Aunt Nan smiled and said nothing, looking at her with a somewhat dismissive look: "No matter what, I will always be by the girl's side to help her."
"That's my blessing."
Xu Zhihuai leaned on the imperial concubine chair with half-closed eyes, and a chill gradually appeared in his eyes.
After Aunt Nan arrived, the loose atmosphere of Chunhe Hall immediately changed, and all the maids and slaves serving Xu Zhihuai inside and outside were also changed.
Looking at the unpredictable and unfamiliar faces, Xu Zhihuai didn't care at all. All she cared about was the imperial edict promised by the prince. However, things never went as smoothly as expected. Zhu Xuxing was scolded by the Queen for deliberately "snubbing" the Crown Princess. She pressed the edict and told Zhu Xuxing to wait.
"People are already by your side, so why rush for a moment. After all, the Crown Princess has just entered the palace, and she behaves dignified and steady, which is indeed good."
"There are some things that if you don't do them now, it will be too late. As the Queen Mother said, the Crown Princess is a person who understands the big picture and will not care about these small things."
"This is no small matter."
The Empress emphasized her tone: "It's okay for you to deliberately neglect the Crown Princess. Why rush to praise that woman? In the final analysis, it is still inappropriate."
In her eyes, even if the Xie family has thousands of disadvantages, Xie Wuyou is still a hundred times stronger than Xu Zhihuai. They are as different as clouds and mud.
Zhu Xuxing insisted: "My son retreated again and again before, but this time he cannot retreat again."
The mother and son were in a stalemate, but in the end it was the empress who felt sorry for her son and agreed first.
Zhu Xuxing did not wait any longer, and immediately ordered someone to take out the sealing edict that had been prepared long ago, and personally waited for the empress mother's seal to be finalized.
The queen lowered her eyes and couldn't help but look slightly depressed.
"The prince wants to make her his second concubine?"
The Queen raised her eyes to look at her son, her shocked eyes mixed with concern and worry: "Prince, do you know that after doing this, there will be so many unpleasant rumors outside, and those villains will slander and slander the prince for disregarding the overall situation and being debauched. Infinite."
Based on Xu Zhihuai's background, being a good man is a compliment, but now that he has been named a second concubine, he is suspected of being equal to the main concubine.
Zhu Xuxing insisted to the end: "This is what my son promised her, and he will never make a mistake."
"She has been in the palace for less than half a year and has no heirs. How can she deserve such a high position? Will she be made a noble concubine when the prince ascends the throne in the future?"
Zhu Xuxing looked calm and calm in the face of his mother's worries and reproaches: "Mother, when my son went south to Huaizhou, Xu Zhihuai blocked a poisonous arrow for his son. She is unknown but has merit. Now my son only rewards according to his merits, so please ask my mother. Complete."
The Queen was furious, and she held back her anger. She sighed for a long time and said, "If the prince insists on doing this, what else can I say? I hope the prince will act steadily in the future and never be impulsive again."
The seventh day of June brings good luck.
The treasure seal is settled, and the noble person is promoted.
Xu Zhihuai, Aunt Nan and Jinhua, kowtowed to receive the order. Although their clothes were simple and elegant, they were full of beauty.
Jinhua was so happy that she almost cried. Before she could shed her tears, she was frightened back by Aunt Nan's cold gaze.
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress, the pain is finally over."
Xu Zhihuai took the yellow silk edict with both hands, looked at Aunt Nan with deep eyes, and said lightly: "It's time to rejoice. From now on, I, Xu Zhihuai, will only be charming, not a bitch."
That night, Zhu Xuxing went to bed in Chunhe Hall.
The palace guards watching the night carefully checked the candlelight, and couldn't help but blush and heartbeat when they heard about the unresolved love story in the inner palace.
Smoke cage gauze tent, hazy.
Xu Zhihuai's flawless white body is like a blooming peach blossom with a human face, blending into the moonlight.
Catalyzed by the moonlight, she once again captured Zhu Xiuxing's heart tightly, making him linger, and he did not want to leave until dawn.
For seven consecutive days, Zhu Suxing went to bed in Chunhe Hall every night. No one would have thought that the prince, who had always adhered to the rules, would repeatedly make exceptions for a woman. Could it be that he was really bewitched by the demon concubine and couldn't extricate himself?
As more and more rumors followed, the atmosphere in the palace became a little subtle and tense.
