Chapter 303
Zhao Qingyao's eyes turned red, sucked her nose and said, "I'm not afraid of the emperor. I'm just too afraid of losing the emperor. If only the emperor could accompany the two princesses all his life."
The emperor looked at her with loving eyes. "I will accompany you more in my lifetime. And our two little princesses will grow up healthily."
Zhao Qingyao filled his arms with tears in her eyes. "Emperor, I believe the four of us can be together well. What I think in my mind when I give birth is the shadow of the emperor. If only I could give birth to a little prince for the emperor. It's best to look like the Emperor."
"I said it didn't matter whether it was a princess or a prince. As long as it was born to you, I like it," the emperor turned his eyes. "But the twins of imperial concubine Fu look like me when I was a child."
Zhao Qingyao trembled and his eyes darkened. "That's great. The emperor must like the twin son of imperial concubine Fu very much. My concubine hasn't seen the two princes for a long time. When my concubine is ready, the emperor will take my concubine to see imperial concubine Fu."
"King Xiang has arrived in Kyoto. He will come into the palace with King Duan to greet me and the concubines in the back palace," the emperor bowed his head and thought for a while. "I wanted to take you and imperial concubine Fu to the banquet, but is your body OK?"
"Of course it's OK. My concubine hasn't had children, but she's not so delicate." Zhao Qingyao's eyes brightened. "The emperor will take my concubine to a banquet. My concubine hasn't seen Duanwang and princess to be for a long time, so it's OK to talk about the past."
The emperor touched her cheek. With a smile, "I promise to take you to the banquet, but you must take good care of yourself these days. The princess might as well take it to the study, and the nursing mother will follow. I think you like quiet best. It's bad if you quarrel."
Zhao Qingyao said with a smile, "the emperor takes care of my concubine so much. I'm a little embarrassed. But the princess is so small. Can the emperor take care of it? Don't quarrel with the emperor. I really lost my duty."
"She is so small that even if she is quarreled, I am very willing," the emperor smiled at her while coaxing the little baby carved with powder and jade. "Children will inevitably make trouble. It's also excellent to put it around me to relieve my boredom. You can rest assured to recuperate in the Yongle Palace."
Zhao Qingyao's eyes flashed a trace of cold, but his lips were smiling. "Yes, my concubine will keep her body in the palace."
Li xuse picked up the cup and drank a mouthful of tea with a calm face. "Has Princess Zhao been tossing about for so long, has her prince been born?"
Thin incense laughed and fell. "What prince? I heard that Princess Zhao moaned for a long time in Yongle Palace and gave birth to a princess. As soon as she saw the princess, her face was half green. What do you think she did Dharma in Yongle Palace every day?"
Li xuse was still calm, and was amused by thin Xiang's gloating laughter. "It's not so easy to have a prince. Princess Zhao's abacus is not good at all."
"I'm blind to the money for those practices. Madam, you can't get heaven's mercy at all," said thin Xiang with a red smile. "Madam, do you think Princess Zhao will continue to live?"
"If she wants to continue to live, it depends on whether the emperor has this intention," said Li xuse. "The palace sees that the emperor is depressed these days. I'm afraid it's because of his poor health. Men can't stick to it at a certain age. Princess Zhao still has a dead heart."
Thin Xiang nodded approvingly. "I'm afraid Princess Zhao can't give birth to the prince in her life. If she has this time, she might as well curry favor with other princes and pave a way for herself. If the two princesses are sent to make peace like Princess Poyang, Princess Zhao will be miserable for the rest of her life."
Li shuse was stunned. His hand holding the tea cup shook a few times and sprinkled a few drops of tea, which almost burned his hand, "Princess Zhao, she..."
"By the way, there's something I haven't told my mother," thin Xiang said with a soft smile. "My mother has been looking forward to Duan Wang and the princess to be. I heard the emperor say that Xiang Wang has arrived in Kyoto and will soon go into the palace with Duan Wang to greet the emperor."
Li xuse nodded and asked with some hesitation, "will concubine Zhao attend the banquet?"
"Yes, Princess Zhao has just given birth to a princess. Naturally, the emperor will attend with a pair of princesses of the little princess and her mother," thin Xiang turned her eyes. "But don't worry, my mother is still the focus of the banquet. After all, the prince is more noble than the princess."
Li xuse nodded carelessly, "let's make good preparations, too. The palace and the princess to be have not seen each other for many years. She must be very concerned about the palace, and the Palace should dress up better. She should know that the palace has been doing well in recent years."
Thin incense quickly said with a smile: "the empress is now a high-ranking imperial concubine and the highest ranking imperial concubine in the harem. As soon as the prospective Princess listens to your position as a high-ranking imperial concubine, she will naturally know that you are doing well."
Li xuse said to be the princess, but her mind was full of the shadow of Duan Wang. Since he returned to the state of Qin, she couldn't sleep at night. She always thought it would be good to see him again. However, she was already the mother of her twin son and the imperial concubine of his father. She had long lost all expectations, and he had a woman he loved deeply and was about to marry that woman, I can only think about it in my heart.
"Thin incense," Li xuse lowered his eyebrow and took off the jade pendant around his waist, "put this in a brocade box, and the palace will take it to the banquet."
"Isn't my mother going to leave this for herself," thin Xiang took the jade pendant and wondered, "is my mother going to give it to Duanwang?"
"It's not for Duan Wang," Li chuse's eyes darkened. "It's just for the princess to be."
Xue ronghua slowly opened the door. At a glance, he saw the king standing not far away with a warm smile on his face.
"Phase king?" Xue ronghua frowned gently. "Now it's time for catkins to fly. Be careful not to be contaminated with catkins."
Chu Chengxun was slightly stunned, raised his lips and said with a smile: "it doesn't matter. My disease is not so serious. It doesn't matter if I breathe into my body."
Xue ronghua looked at him and said with a smile, "what's the matter with the king coming to me?"
"Duan Wang doesn't know how to go out. I haven't found him for a long time," said Chu Chengxun with an arc on his lips. "I went out a few days ago and bought some pots of peach blossom wine. I tasted it pretty good outside. I wanted to invite Duan Wang to try it together, but I didn't find him. I don't know if I can invite the prospective princess to come?"
Xue ronghua has smelled the shallow peach blossom fragrance in the air, "of course, I like to try all kinds of new and old wine best. If the king has this invitation, how can I not follow."
They looked at each other with a smile and sat down under the eaves. An apricot flower outside came over. A burst of spring breeze blew and dropped several petals, which fell on her shoulders and hair, and melted in his eyes.
Xue ronghua lowered his eyebrows and wiped the petals on his shoulder. He smiled softly and said, "what does the king look at me? You are the buyer of peach blossom wine. Naturally, you want to pour the wine for my guest to taste."
Chu Chengxun woke up from the beautiful scenery and quickly poured her a glass of wine. The pink wine against the jade glass looked very attractive. He took up the glass, saluted her and took a sip slowly.
"The peach blossom wine smells delicious. It's like going to the forest crossing the river," Xue ronghua took a sip. "The king is really powerful. He can find the wine. Duanwang hasn't found it for a long time."
"In the peach blossom forest across the river, Duan Wang didn't come for lunch a few days ago because he went there," Chu Chengxun hesitated. "Is there any mysterious place there? Why didn't Duan Wang tell you."
"That's where we used to date," Xue ronghua's cheeks were crimson, "so Duanwang went there, but all the peach blossom forests there were cut off, and there was nothing to see. It was said that apricot and pear flowers would be planted."
Chu Chengxun looked at the pink liquor on her bright red lips and softened her heart inch by inch. "The princess to be looks like peach blossoms very much. Why don't Duanwang plant some trees in the garden of the palace?"
"I don't like peach blossoms very much. It's just a memorial. Since it doesn't matter, it's best to stay in my heart," Xue ronghua touched the edge of his glass with a wine glass. "If the king is interested, there are peach blossom forests in the imperial garden when he enters the palace."
"You don't even call me when you drink here."
Xue ronghua's eyes, which had been blurred by wine, suddenly lit up, turned to look at him and said angrily, "where have you been? The king has been looking for it for a long time, so he can't find it, so he can only ask me to drink."
"Don't you drink the same," Chu Zongge touched her cheek affectionately and sniffed the taste on her lips. "You drink peach blossom bar. Where did Xiang Wang buy this wine? I can't find it all over Kyoto."
Chu Chengxun smiled, "I just walked around and saw that there was nothing. I wanted to invite Duanwang to drink, but I couldn't find anyone, so I had to invite the prospective princess. It happened that Duanwang came and had a drink."
Chu Zongge took the cup in his hand, stretched out the tip of his tongue and nodded, "the wine looks pink, but it's very lovely, but the peach blossom taste inside is too strong, but the wine taste is not mellow."
Xue ronghua glared at him and said angrily, "how many roads did people go to buy you something to drink? You don't know how to pick up some interesting ones."
Chu Zongge tilted his head and said with a smile, "it's just wine tasting. The king and I are like this these days. Don't care too much."
Chu Chengxun quietly looked at their flirting and scolding in his eyes, and timely interrupted: "in fact, it's just wine tasting. I also want to say that Duanwang tastes good and tastes it all at once. I also think the peach blossom fragrance dilutes the wine taste."
"But it's just good for me," Xue ronghua licked his lower lip. "If you don't like it, you might as well give it to me."
Chu Zongge's eyes were spoiled, and handed her the cup that had just been used and left half a cup of wine. "If you like it, drink it yourself. It's not as good as a glass of peach blossom water for me."
Chu Chengxun looked at Xue ronghua, who was frowning and angry. A burst of bitterness surged into his heart. He had to cooperate with them, smiled a few times, recovered his calm face, and bowed his head to taste the wine in his cup.
