The new emperor immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, everything will be at your discretion."
Xian Ziqian smiled tenderly and stopped mentioning the matter. She only briefly glanced at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, and then murmured to the new emperor in a low voice.
Although the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground never raised his head, he seemed to feel Xian Ziai's eyes. He immediately got up from the ground with very light movements. Then he lowered his head, arched his body, and quietly disappeared from the front of Xian Ziai and the new emperor.
, the movement is light and fast, as if it has never happened before.
Ever since the news came out from Prince Xuan's Palace that Princess Xian Zigen suddenly passed away due to illness, some of the royal relatives and daughters of wealthy families in Kyoto have been secretly thinking about it. Some have begged the new emperor to act as a matchmaker, and some have secretly inquired about Prince Xuan's preferences.
I heard that Prince Xuan missed the deceased Xian Ziqian, and wished that his daughter could be a gentle and gentle person.
In a blink of an eye, it was the hottest time of summer, the new emperor was in power, and the country was considered safe. Although some ministers in the court were unwilling to accept Xian Ziyi, who had married another person and then married the new emperor, to become the empress, they died of illness one after another for no reason, mostly due to infections.
After two or three cases of emergency cases, the ministers who had always been opposed to the matter gradually calmed down their tempers and stopped commenting on the matter.
Xian Ziai naturally became the new emperor's empress, and she was still the most beloved woman of the new emperor. He rebuilt the place where the empress lived. However, the new emperor still liked that the empress stayed with him and stayed with him most of the time.
Xian Ziai still stayed in the same place as the new emperor.
"The Queen, the princess and the consort are here." A young eunuch said slightly outside.
Xian Ziai wore a gauze dress and sat in the pavilion to enjoy the cool air. There were four large light-colored vats in the four corners of the pavilion, with crystal clear ice cubes in them. Several slaves were fanning them silently with fans.
It's so hot that people can't breathe, but it's very cool here.
Xian Zi Ai nodded and said slowly: "It's such a hot day. The couple came to this palace. They must have something to do. Please hurry up and prepare chairs for the princess and the consort."
Princess Hanyu and Guan Yucheng walked in from the outside. Princess Hanyu wiped her forehead, which was sticky with sweat. As soon as she entered the pavilion, she immediately felt cool and there was a faint refreshing fragrance. She glanced at the big
Regarding the ice cubes in the jar, "my sister-in-law still enjoys it. She not only brought these ice cubes, but also specially put some cooling herbs in the ice cubes. Hanyu didn't even know that my sister-in-law also knows some medical skills."
Xian Zi Ai smiled slightly and said gently: "It's because of the light of Purple Daphne. Before Purple Daphne passed away, she also liked to play with some herbs. She taught me this recipe. It's really good and very comfortable to use."
Hearing what Xian Ziai said, Princess Hanyu immediately glanced at Guan Yucheng who was standing aside, and said with half disdain: "Speaking of the death of my sister-in-law's sister, Hanyu really wants to tell a joke. I don't know if my sister-in-law is in the mood to listen."
listen?"
Xian Ziyi also glanced at Guan Yucheng quickly. It was rare to see Guan Yucheng. Usually, when Princess Hanyu appeared, Guan Yucheng would not be seen nine times out of ten.
According to the news secretly spread by the slaves in the former Prince Consort's Mansion and now the Princess' Mansion, this Princess Hanyu treats her consort Guan Yucheng like a dog. She beats her whenever she wants and scolds her whenever she opens her mouth. She is completely unworthy of anyone. In the Princess' Mansion
, Guan Yucheng is not even as important as the steward.
"Tell me about it." Xian Ziyi's tone was still gentle.
Hanyu had already sat down on the chair. At this time, she smiled coldly and looked at Guan Yucheng. However, Guan Yucheng did not sit down on the chair. He kept standing behind Princess Hanyu with his head bowed.
Knowing that he is Princess Hanyu's husband-in-law, he is more like a little follower.
"My sister-in-law's sister passed away. I heard that Prince Xuan closed the door to thank guests. I was quite sad for a while. My sister-in-law also set up a mourning hall outside Prince Xuan's palace. This is what should be said. After all, the princess I loved was also my grandmother's adopted daughter. My father
The emperor's sworn sister. Prince Xuan is sad and sad when he loses his wife, and his sister-in-law is sad and sad when she loses her sister. These are all reasonable things." Princess Hanyu said indifferently, "Some people regard themselves as the beloved princess.
Like family members, they secretly shed tears at home and secretly burned paper money. Alas, his mother has been bedridden and has not come to visit her. She is a person who has nothing to do with him, and he misses her very much!"
Xian Zi Ai smiled and said gently: "Zi Jian has always been gentle and kind, so some people are worried about it, so there is no need for the princess to be angry. By the way, how is that girl Die'er doing now?"
Some time ago, Princess Hanyu gave birth to a pretty little girl with delicate features. Princess Hanyu regarded her as the apple of her eye and hired a nanny and several slaves to serve her.
When she mentioned her daughter, Princess Hanyu's face looked much better, and her tone became gentler, "That girl is really well-behaved, but it's a pity that my grandmother has dementia now, otherwise, my grandmother would also like her."
"The Emperor likes it very much." Xian Zi Ai smiled slightly, "As the old saying goes, a nephew follows his uncle. That girl Die'er follows the Emperor even more than our Chen'er. Even I thought he was his own child. Don't hide it all the time.
I don’t want outsiders to see me at home, so when I have time, I can bring it in for the emperor and me to take a look at.”
Princess Hanyu smiled, but her smile was vaguely embarrassed, and said: "The child is still young and not very sensible. I am afraid of disturbing the emperor's brother and sister-in-law."
Xian Ziyi stopped talking, but glanced at Guan Yucheng intentionally.
"What is the emperor doing?" Princess Hanyu didn't see Xian Zi's expression, and said with a jealous smile, "Everyone in the palace said that if they can't find the emperor, they go to the empress. As long as they find the empress,
You can definitely find the emperor. This princess came here specially, but she still didn’t meet the emperor’s brother. It can be seen that the people in the palace are not sure what they say. This princess wants to discuss some family matters with the emperor’s brother, but I don’t know if my sister-in-law can help.
Is this busy?"
As he spoke, he covered his mouth and smiled, with a deliberately mocking look on his face.
Xian Zi Ai frowned slightly and glanced half-seriously at the servants and eunuchs around her, "Which idle slave is chewing this tongue? Quickly take Princess Hanyu to the study to have a look, the emperor has been here for the past few days.
I'm busy with government affairs and stay there most of the time, so don't delay Princess Hanyu's business."
Immediately, two slaves came forward respectfully. Princess Hanyu was not polite and followed the two slaves towards the study room, completely ignoring Guan Yucheng who had been standing behind her. Guan Yucheng did not seem to notice that Princess Hanyu suddenly
After leaving, he still stood there dumbfounded, looking down at the ground.
