"Counting the days, Concubine Hui should be almost ready to give birth today." As soon as Xianyue finished speaking, someone from the palace came to report that Concubine Hui was out seeking to see her.
Xianyue pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here. It seems that Concubine Hui also knows that the empress has been very busy these two days, so she hurried over to help as soon as she was out of confinement."
Mingyu ordered the palace servants to invite Mr. Gao in, and then he breathed out lightly and said, "That's good, I can take a breath, otherwise I will really faint from the rush."
Xianyue said warmly: "My queen, please be busy first. I'll go and see my second elder brother." Zai Chao Mingyu saluted and turned around, just in time to see Mrs. Gao walking in under the guidance of the palace servants.
He nodded to indicate, and the latter snorted softly and turned his head to the side.
Although last night, Xianyue told her what the Su family had done secretly, so that she could see Su's true face, but she did not believe that Xianyue had good intentions. His real intention was to lead her to fight with the Su family.
.She didn’t want to take advantage of Xianyue’s wishes, but she was more
Jia couldn't stand Su's deception and frame-up, so she finally went to Yikun Palace last night. But she knew in her heart that neither Su nor Xianyue were good people. They were all her enemies. As long as they were found
If given the chance, she would not hesitate to get rid of these two people.
Xianyue didn't feel dissatisfied with Gao's reaction, so she passed by him and came to Yonglian's house. As soon as she entered, she saw Yonglian shrinking into a small ball, nestled in a chair, eyes blind.
Staring at a certain place.
The palace man walked up to Yonglian and said softly: "Second brother, Concubine Xian is here to see you."
Yong Lian blinked and turned around. As soon as he called "Auntie", tears fell down. Xianyue felt heartbroken when she saw it. She walked over and said, "What's wrong? Are you still sad?"
Yonglian cried: "Well, I miss the kitten, I miss it very much!"
Xianyue comforted her softly: "Auntie, I know you miss it, but it's gone and there's no point thinking about it anymore. Second brother, today is New Year's Eve. After today, you will be one year older. No.
You can stop crying like this. Come on, wipe your face dry and stop crying."
Yong Lian tried his best to stop his tears and choked up: "Well, Yong Lian won't cry, but... the kitten is so pitiful. If Qi Kuan hadn't kicked it so hard, it would be fine now."
"Qi Kuan did it to protect you. He didn't mean to harm the cat. It was an unintentional mistake. Don't blame him, okay?"
After Xianyue finished speaking, Qi Kuan knelt down and said, "I know my sin, please forgive me this time."
A trace of reluctance flashed across Yong Lian's face, but he finally nodded. Xia Yue smiled and stroked his face, "Don't be sad, my aunt brought something for you, see if you like it."
Yong Lian is still a kid at heart. As soon as he heard something, his curiosity was immediately aroused, "Is it the thing my aunt mentioned yesterday?"
Xianyue nodded, and then looked at A Luo. The latter understood, and quickly took out the hand behind his back, and hooked a bamboo cage on his finger, shaped like a hexagonal pavilion.
There are the same water basins made of bamboo, and there is even a small platform for the grasshoppers to rest in the middle, which is very unique.
Yong Lian only took one look and fell in love with it. He hurriedly jumped off the chair and took the cage from A Luo. He looked left and right and couldn't put it down. After a while, he seemed to remember something and asked: "Auntie, this is
Who made it up? It’s so beautiful.”
Xia Yue said nothing, but A Luo said: "Second brother, you are far away in the horizon, but very close in front of you."
Yong Lian didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, and it wasn't until A Luo quietly pointed at Xianyue that he realized it. He opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Auntie, did you make this up?"
"Yes, I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find thirty-year-old bamboo, and asked Qi Kuan to split it into bamboo strips and make this cage for you. Do you like it?"
Yong Lian nodded quickly and said: "I like it, I like it very much. Thank you, aunt, you are so kind!" After that, he said with some pity: "It is winter now, there are no grasshoppers to catch, otherwise we can catch them and lock them inside
, it must be fun.”
"Who said there are no grasshoppers?" Saying this, Xianyue magically took out two grasshoppers also made of bamboo, put them into the bamboo cage, and said: "Look, there are grasshoppers here.
?”
Yonglian was surprised and happy, and said, "Did my aunt make this up too?"
"Yes." After such a response, Xianyue said deliberately: "But I haven't compiled it for a long time, and my technique is rusty. If Yonglian doesn't like it, just give it back to me."
Yong Lian hugged the cage tightly and said eagerly: "I like it, I like it very much, no one is allowed to take it away."
His appearance made Xianyue laugh so hard that she stroked his cheek and said, "Okay, I'm joking with you. Since I gave it to you, it's yours. After spring, I'll let someone catch some real grasshoppers."
Can I put the grasshopper in it and let you play with it?"
"Okay!" Yong Lian smiled happily and rolled his eyes, but he still looked gloomy just now.
Seeing him like this, Xianyue was also sincerely happy. There was nothing more contagious than a child's smile.
After Xianyue played with Yonglian for a long time, she left under Yonglian's reluctant eyes. This year's New Year's Eve banquet was held at Qianqing Palace as in previous years.
As night approached, the princes and princes, Baylor, entered the palace one after another and gathered in the Qianqing Palace. While the banquet was still beginning, they gathered in twos and threes to chat. Hong Zhou was also among them. After Hongli ascended the throne, he was already a feudal lord.
He is a prince, and a mother is as valuable as her son. Concubine Yu is also revered as Princess Yu. She lives with Hong Zhou and is in the harem. Apart from Ling Ruo, she is the most blessed.
While they were talking, something was urgently being prepared. Palace officials came in and out of Kunning Palace and Jingren Palace from time to time, asking Mingyu and Gao to make decisions respectively.
Mrs. Gao glanced at the book with the order written on it, took the pen and wrote a few words, and then handed it to the steward waiting aside, "Make changes according to what I wrote on it, and then you can arrange the order.
"
The steward respectfully agreed. After exiting the main hall, he opened the book and took a look. After seeing the changes made by Mr. Gao, his expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and came to the main hall again. He said: "Your Majesty, I was originally the second seat.
There are five people, it’s not crowded, why do you want to move the pure concubine to the third seat?”
Gao said with an unkind expression: "You don't feel crowded, but I feel crowded. What's wrong? Isn't it okay?"
The steward quickly said: "I don't dare. I just think it's a little... inappropriate. What if the pure concubine doesn't agree?"
A trace of disgust flashed across Gao's eyes, and she said: "Pure concubine never cares about others. I believe that nothing unexpected will happen to her. Go down and make arrangements immediately."
