Zhichun said happily: "Your Majesty, you are a very kind person. I just want you to accompany me here like this. I really feel sorry for you."
Su Shi smiled and said: "After entering the palace, I didn't go to greet Concubine Xian, so I went with her this time."
How could Zhichun say no? He quickly followed her to Yanxi Palace. Seeing her return with her things intact, Xianyue lowered her face and said: "What did I tell you before?
Have you forgotten everything?"
Zhichun hurriedly knelt down and said: "I don't have any servants, but..." She looked at Mrs. Su beside her, hoping that she would say a few words for her. Mrs. Su would naturally understand, so she bowed and said: "My dear, this matter has nothing to do with me.
It's my concubine's fault, it's my concubine who insists on getting it back, so don't blame Zhichun."
"You girl, you can't do even the smallest thing well. It's really useless." After scolding Zhichun, Xianyue said to Su: "Why do you want to take it back? Is it possible that you don't like these colors? I see.
They all look good, especially this cherry red material with gold woven flowers. It looks really good on you."
Faced with Xianyue's words, Mrs. Su lowered her eyes and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I just have enough material for you. How can I be so shy as to ask for your Majesty's things? I'd better keep it for myself."
"It's just a few pieces of material. Do you need to be so polite to me? Although I am not very close to you, I have always regarded you as my sister. If you continue to refuse like this, I will be really unhappy.
.”
Mrs. Su insisted: "I accept your mother's kindness, but I won't be rewarded for my merits. I really can't afford your mother's kindness."
"You, you have such a stubborn temper." After saying this, Xianyue said: "That's all, take these materials to the warehouse, and take out all the brocades and send them to the pure concubine's palace.
.”
"Mother, you..." Mrs. Su had just said a few words when she was interrupted by Xiayue: "This Sujin was given to the third elder brother by me. I am also the third elder brother's aunt. Is it possible?
Isn't it okay to be nice to him?"
Seeing what Xianyue said, Mrs. Su couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to say: "Then I have thanked Concubine Xian on behalf of Yongzhang."
After Zhichun went down, Xianyue chuckled and said, "To be honest, I was a little surprised when I saw you and Concubine Hui come to pay respects to the Queen Mother in Cining Palace today, and even made red date cakes. What happened to you and Concubine Hui?"
Are you so close now? I remember that when we were in the mansion, you and Concubine Hui had some arguments."
Su Shi hesitated and said, "Actually... I don't know it myself."
"Huh?" Xianyue was startled, and then said: "If Chun concubine doesn't want to say anything, forget it. I'm just asking casually."
"No, no." Mrs. Su quickly denied it and said eagerly: "I really don't know. After entering the palace, I had no contact with Concubine Hui. Early in the morning today, Concubine Hui came suddenly.
In the palace, I was told to make red date cake for the Queen Mother. I thought it was a good thing, so I
I agreed, and apart from that, there’s nothing else. Normally, Concubine Hui doesn’t have a good attitude toward me. I don’t know why, but this time she was so kind and cheerful. To be honest, I still feel weird about it.
It’s weird, but I can’t tell what’s wrong with it, it’s really puzzling.”
Xianyue's eyes moved slightly and she nodded: "It's really strange for you to say that. Logically speaking, you had an argument with her, so she should be dissatisfied with you."
"This is exactly the truth, but it is also possible that Concubine Hui figured it out and decided to let go of her previous prejudices. In the final analysis, there is no big feud between the concubine and her." Even so, Su's face showed a smile.
But there is still a lingering gloominess, and the beautiful eyebrows are slightly wrinkled.
Xianyue shook her head and said: "If that were the case, you wouldn't frown. You entered the dormitory earlier than Concubine Hui. You should know her character. She is arrogant and refuses to admit defeat. How could she take the initiative to show favor to you? I
Remember when you argued with her, it was just for a piece of material that the Queen Mother rewarded. It was supposed to be given to you, but she liked it and snatched it away. You argued with her, but she scolded you."
Su lost her mind after what she said and said nervously: "Then... in my opinion, what does Concubine Hui's behavior today mean?"
"I can't say for sure at the moment, but you'd better not get too close to Concubine Hui. Don't forget that you are the third elder brother's mother-in-law, and there are many pairs of eyes in the palace staring at you, so
No matter what you do, you must be careful at all times and never neglect it.”
Faced with Xianyue's advice, Mrs. Su said gratefully: "Your Majesty's golden words, I must keep them in mind."
Xianyue nodded and said: "The last time I saw Brother San, he had just learned how to turn over, but now he can sit down?"
"I can't do it yet. Grandma said that I won't be able to sit until I'm half a year old. But I can see that my little arms and legs are much stronger. Sometimes I feel pain when I'm kicked by him.
!" Speaking of Yongzhang, Su's eyes were full of love.
Xianyue's heart twitched, but she said with a smile: "It would be better if the boy is more energetic. Speaking of which, apart from the Queen and Concubine Zhe, you are the most blessed concubine in this palace. You are really enviable by me."
"I don't know how long it will take for me to have a son and a half daughter to be my wife."
Hearing this, Mrs. Su quickly comforted her: "Mother, please don't say that. I am just lucky for a while. If you really want to talk about luck, how can I be as good as you? As for the child, I believe you will be born soon."
Yes, no need to worry."
"I have been waiting for so many years, why should I be impatient? Let everything take its course. However, I really miss the chubby appearance of the third elder brother."
After her words fell, Mrs. Su said: "If you have nothing to do, why don't you go and sit in my concubine's palace?"
Faced with her invitation, Xianyue readily agreed. The Su family now lives in Yikun Palace. Although it is a bit far to walk there, the autumn weather is refreshing now, and it does not feel hard to walk around in leisure time.
After arriving at Yikun Palace, Su ordered someone to bring Yongzhang in. Looking at the little body moving around in her mother's arms, Xianyue's eyes were sometimes gentle and sometimes sad. After a long time, she said: "Can you
Do you want me to give you a hug?"
Su Shi hesitated for a moment, but soon she said with a smile on her face: "It is Yongzhang's blessing that the empress is willing to hug Yongzhang."
At her signal, Mammy handed Yongzhang into Xiayue's arms. Xiayue had never held a child with her own hands before, so she was a little confused for a while. After Mammy taught how to hold a child, she felt better. But at this time
, Xianyue was already sweating from the hug, and said with a chuckle: "A child who is only a few months old is really soft, just like holding a pile of meat."
