The water in the bathtub is rippling.
In addition to sprinkling a layer of flowers, sheep milk was also poured in.
Ale squatted by the pool water and stirred it with his hands: "You can take a bath like this."
Chu Zhao leaned against the other side of the pool wall and closed his eyes to rest, laughed and said, "Ale, let's try it."
Ale was eager to try, but shook his head again: "Let's wait."
Chu Zhao opened his eyes and asked, "What are you waiting for? You don't have to serve me, the palace maids are here."
Ale lowered his voice and said, "This is the palace after all. I will enjoy myself when you have firmly settled in the position of the Crown Princess."
Chu Zhao laughed: "What kind of pleasure is this?" After saying that, he got up and walked into the clean water pool on the other side to rinse.
Ale stood up and called "Come."
Several palace maids came in one after another, and after cleaning Chu Zhao wiped, dressed, surrounded her and came to the outer room, sat down and comb her hair.
"Where is A Yu?" Chu Zhao asked.
The palace maids were about to answer, but Xiao Yu ran in from outside.
"Sister." He shouted.
Chu Zhao smiled and said, "I'm asking you."
Xiao Yu stood in front of the bronze mirror and watched her comb her hair: "I'm counting the time, you should wash it."
Since entering the imperial city, Xiao Yu is still inseparable from her. If she is not by her side at night, she will wake up and cannot fall asleep. Chu Zhao can understand that the poor child lost his parents overnight and escaped from death. He was frightened.
It's like he always holds this bamboo tube.
Chu Zhao's eyes fell in Xiao Yu's arms.
Eunuch Qi had already told her that the bamboo tube was filled with a snake.
Most children are afraid of snakes, let alone hug them all the time.
"Your Highness is also afraid. He never played with snakes and insects before." said Eunuch Qi, "It was the old slave who coaxed him to catch him to the prince."
But before he could give it to His Royal Highness, the father and son separated forever.
"The old slave coaxes his highness and asks him to throw it away." said Eunuch Qi.
Chu Zhao stopped him: "Let him take it, that's his indelible longing."
Before the gift was delivered, the child developed an obsession and needed to slowly guide this.
She didn't mention it or ask, as if she didn't see Xiao Yu holding a bamboo tube.
"I'll comb my hair and we'll go see Your Majesty," she said.
Xiao Yu nodded and stood in front of a table as tall as himself as he watched Chu Zhao comb his hair.
Chu Zhao talked to him and pointed to the jewelry on the table: "Which one looks good? How about using this?"
Xiao Yu carefully selected the choices, and Chu Zhao also asked the palace maids to bring them with him. Ale stood behind and couldn't help laughing.
"Miss, you've brought too much," she said.
Xiao Yu put his hands down, feeling a little uneasy. He had never seen his mother combed her hair and made up, and he didn't know how to dress up, just wanted to pick out all the good-looking ones.
Chu Zhao turned to the mirror and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm still very good."
Of course Ale agreed with this: "Miss is beautiful no matter how she looks."
Xiao Yu said: "My sister looks good, she doesn't dress up."
Chu Zhao looked at Xiao Yu with bright eyes: "We A Yu are right. I, Chu Zhao, are not dressed up."
Xiao Yu looked into her eyes and nodded vigorously.
Chu Zhao was not just for the sake of dressing up. After simple makeup, he got up and led Xiao Yu: "Let's go, let's see Your Majesty."
The palace maids retreated and watched Chu Zhao lead Xiao Yu out, with only two people following her.
One is called Ale and the other is called Oman.
This is the person brought by Miss Chu. Miss Chu lives in the imperial city and only lets these two people get close to each other.
Moreover, Miss Chu didn't need them to lead the way. She just went wherever she wanted to go, without any restraint.
"This is not a problem of unrestrainedness." A palace maid whispered, "Miss Chu is obviously very familiar with the palace."
They don't need them to lead the way, and the palace is magnificent and the most exquisite thing in the world is everywhere. Those destined women will be stubborn and exclaimed when they come in, but Miss Chu has no reaction at all, as if it is common.
The palace maids looked at each other, wondering if it was an illusion, but Miss Chu seemed to have been living in the imperial city.
How is this possible? Of course it is an illusion. Although the palace maids are in the deep palace, they have learned privately about Miss Chu's origin and deeds in the past few days. They have been living in the border county and have only been in the capital for more than a year. Not to mention the imperial city, they have never been to the powerful families of aristocratic families several times. This Miss Chu is very unpopular and has not had a good relationship with the ladies in the capital.
So what if it is not popular?
The eunuchs in front of the emperor's bedroom watched the girl walk slowly, holding the little prince in her hand, and the soldiers bowed to her wherever she passed.
Her highness saved her, and she guarded the imperial city now.
He has a tiger father and a soldier, and he can even hold a knife to kill people.
"I have met the prince, His Highness, Princess." The eunuchs bowed their heads and bowed.
Chu Zhao took Xiao Yu's hand and walked over to them and entered the hall.
Deng Yi was also here with the emperor and was talking about the third prince. When he saw Xiao Yu coming in, he stopped.
"After saying that." The emperor was half lying on the dragon bed, looking pretty in good spirits. "He is the prince, not a child, he has to bear all good and bad things by himself. I asked him to come here to listen to this."
Deng Yi responded, and continued to relay the situation described by Xie Yanfang that night, as well as the details he had personally checked, and details the injuries of the old prince and the princess.
Chu Zhao felt the little hand in his hand trembling and signaled Xiao Yu to lean in his arms.
But the child shook his head, still sitting upright, with red eyes listening carefully.
Deng Yi finished his talk soon and talked about the funeral arrangements. The emperor waved his hand and said, "Just follow the rules."
Everyone is dead, and things that follow you don’t matter.
Deng Yi responded and looked at Chu Zhao and Xiao Yu who were sitting beside him, both big and small, and they all looked good and decent.
"The wedding of the prince and the princess is held according to the system after the filial piety period has expired." Deng Yi said, "But I think that for the sake of the stability of the country, it should be held immediately."
The emperor smiled: "No hurry."
No hurry?
Deng Yi frowned.
"Your Majesty, you have to hurry up to this matter." He said, not caring about His Majesty's opposition at all.
The emperor was not angry, and said, "What I mean is to hold the ceremony of the emperor ascending the throne and the empress's wedding."
Deng Yi was stunned.
Chu Zhao also sat up straight.
"Your Majesty." She blurted out.
The emperor ignored them and waved: "A Yu, come."
Xiao Yu was stunned, as if he didn't hear it. It was not until Chu Zhao shook his hand that the child came to his senses and stood up and walked to the emperor.
The emperor stretched out his hand, and the child hesitated for a moment and slowly put his little hand on.
The emperor did not care about the child's hesitation. Although the child was raised by him, he did not get close to him.
It doesn't matter whether you get close to each other or not.
"A Yu." said the emperor, "The emperor's grandfather will let you ascend the throne, and you will become the emperor in the future."
A child still doesn't understand what it means to be an emperor. Although he will be an emperor in theory, it will happen a long time later, and he may not be able to be an emperor. So although he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he has never been guided by the idea that he will be an emperor in the future.
But he knew that the emperor's intention could not be violated, so he nodded: "A Yu obeyed the order."
The emperor laughed: "A Yu, in the future, you don't need to say obeying the orders. In the future, you only need to listen to the sentence obeying the orders."
Xiao Yu looked at the emperor and asked, "Grandfather, are you going to die too?"
The emperor smiled and nodded: "Yes, the emperor's grandfather is going to die too. From now on, you are the only one left."
