Pearls match beauty.
South Sea pearls are round, translucent white and dazzling.
Xu Zhihuai opened the brocade box with both hands and presented it to Concubine Yue for appreciation. Concubine Yue smiled like a flower and said softly: "You kid, you do have a lot of heart."
Xu Zhihuai smiled obediently.
Concubine Yue has a slim figure and a very thin wrist. She wrapped the pearl necklace around her wrist several times and played with it carefully.
Xu Zhihuai lowered his eyes and looked at her wrist, and suddenly asked with concern: "Your Majesty, it seems that you have lost a lot of weight?"
Concubine Yue smiled faintly: "I have been sick since the Chinese New Year. I either have a cough or a chill. I can't go out or eat. How can I not lose weight?"
Xu Zhihuai took advantage of the situation and asked: "What does the Taiyuan Hospital say? Is there any suitable medicine for the case?"
"I can't take a lot of medicine, and each bowl is more painful than the last. Unfortunately, I still feel uncomfortable."
"Mother, good luck has its own destiny, and it will always get better."
"You have such a sweet mouth, no wonder the prince is fascinated by you."
There were women in the palace one after another. Xu Zhihuai was not the most outstanding one, but there was always an indescribable charm between his eyebrows.
The little face is pointed and the eyes are crooked. The more you look at it, the more pleasing it becomes.
Xu Zhihuai pursed his lips and smiled.
This compliment sounds really harsh.
She is increasingly confused about what she wants to do?
Suddenly, she said again: "Last time... your child was tragically lost. If he had been safe, the child would have been born by now."
Xu Zhihuai was slightly startled and deliberately lowered his head.
"No, I brought up your sadness again. It's okay, you are young after all, and you will have many opportunities in the future."
"Borrow me your blessings."
Concubine Yue smiled: "Not only do I have good words, but I also have good things for you."
Her maid brought a gift box. When she opened it, there was a tangy medicinal fragrance, a light bitterness wrapped in a thick herbal woody fragrance, a very melodious smell.
"Nuan Xiang Wan, warms the palace and nourishes the heart. It is the most suitable for recuperating your body."
Xu Zhihuai showed a flattered expression: "Empress, this is..."
Concubine Yue smiled mysteriously: "This is something I often eat. Don't worry about it. I won't poison you."
Xu Zhihuai said hurriedly: "The queen is joking, how could I be suspicious of this?"
Concubine Yue said straightforwardly: "I also have good intentions. After all, I have been here before. No one's favor lasts forever. After all, what we have to count on is our children, our own flesh and blood, and our own hard work."
Xu Zhihuai heard some overtones but remained silent.
Concubine Yue said again: "If you can give birth to a prince, the position of crown princess will be within your grasp."
Seeing her mentioning this intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Zhihuai said slowly: "I have neither a financial background nor the honor of having an heir. How dare I dream of becoming a crown princess? Let nature take its course."
"You child, you are obviously very thoughtful, but you don't understand now. His Highness doesn't like a princess like Xie Wuyou. You are so innocent, without the ties of family power, and you have no influence. Greedy relatives who are just waiting around are the best."
Xu Zhihuai bit his lip and finally couldn't help but said: "Is your Majesty praising me, or..."
"It's not a compliment, it's just a heart-to-heart with you."
Xu Zhihuai lowered his head and smiled again, avoiding the topic.
Concubine Yue obviously hadn't finished her sentence yet: "I heard that you are from Huaizhou. I also have some relatives in Huaizhou, but I don't move around much and don't see them often."
Xu Zhihuai said defensively: "I was born in Huaizhou, but unfortunately I haven't gone back for many years. I accompanied His Highness on a trip before, and for some reason I felt even more unfamiliar. Now, I prefer the capital and live in the palace."
"That's true."
The two had a brief conversation, and Concubine Yue became a little lazy again.
Xu Zhihuai left. On the way back, she asked Aunt Nan: "Send someone to find out the news later. Is there anything unspeakable about Concubine Yue recently?"
Aunt Nan's reaction was a little slow: "What did the empress just say?"
Xu Zhihuai sat on the soft sedan, opened the curtain and looked at her. Seeing her panic and confusion, he understood instantly.
After returning to the palace, he screened away the idlers.
Xu Zhihuaicai said to Aunt Nan: "There is no news about Mr. Hou, and your soul is also gone, right?"
Aunt Nan frowned: "Isn't your Majesty worried?"
"The Marquis is so capable, there is no need for me to worry."
Aunt Nan's face darkened: "What kind of ghost place is Fengdu? If the Marquis really has some shortcomings, what will happen to the empress in the palace..."
"I'm just worried. My aunt doesn't need to threaten me."
"I don't dare."
Xu Zhihuai smiled faintly: "Forget it, I won't argue with you. I think you don't look good, so you might as well rest for a while."
Aunt Nan was surprised: "What do you mean, empress?"
"It doesn't mean anything, I just feel sorry for you."
Aunt Nan looked angrily: "Your Majesty, it's clear that I'm kicking me out..."
Xu Zhihuai said: "What I need is someone who can do things. You are in a trance like this, thinking about your Lord Marquis all day long. Even if I keep you, others will not be able to see you."
Aunt Nan knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and said nothing.
"The purpose of letting you leave the palace is not to really drive you out. Xie Wuyou's affairs should be almost arranged. Regardless of whether the Marquis is in the capital or not, we must not leave behind anything we need to do. "
After hearing this, Aunt Nan calmed down and said, "Do you still count on Xie Wuyou?"
Whether she is really confused or just pretending, Mr. Hou is her biggest supporter.
"It's not about hoping, but it's about not wasting it." Xu Zhihuai stared at her and said, "Auntie should understand this truth best. Beauty is the rarest thing. How did aunty train me in the beginning? Those skills should not be wasted, and I should be gentle and charming. she."
Aunt Nan sighed reluctantly: "Okay, I understand."
Same means, different sadness.
Xie Wuyou did not have the same determination as Xu Zhihuai. He hesitated and declined several times, but in the end his dignity was shattered by a slap from the discipline mothers.
The burning pain was clear and direct.
"Does the girl still dream of becoming a queen? No, it's gone a long time ago. Only by learning your skills can you find a way out. The girls in this yard are all hard-core, and you are nothing."
Xie Wuyou heard something hidden.
She's not the first.
Is Xu Zhihuai so capable?
How many people does she have on hand?
When Aunt Nan showed up, Xie Wuyou was even more frightened and uneasy, and was speechless for a moment.
Aunt Nan was very familiar with it, and she acted like she was doing business: "Your Majesty, please ask me to send a message to Gu Nian. Time waits for no one."
Xie Wuyou calmed down, then changed his clothes honestly, came to Aunt Nan and said, "What else did your Majesty say?"
She had never worn such a vulgar color before.
Aunt Nan smiled half-heartedly: "The girl is still so beautiful."
"Tell me, what should I do?"
"Girl, you have to learn to please a man slowly."
