"Your Majesty is indeed as beautiful as your mother-in-law. I think there is no one else in the palace who can be as beautiful as your Majesty..." Shaoyao helped Concubine Duan stand up and sighed.
Concubine Duan was also quite satisfied with her makeup, and the corners of her lips raised slightly: "I am not actually stunningly beautiful, but I am more favored by the emperor!"
"Glory is fleeting. Your Majesty is the most considerate person to your Majesty..." Shaoyao hurriedly took over what Concubine Duan said. Concubine Duan smiled and said nothing, thinking that there were several concubines in the palace who were more beautiful than herself, but she alone
Not being favored by the emperor alone, the uneasiness in my heart was immediately replaced by contentment.
Shaoyao is right. No matter how beautiful she is, she will grow old one day. Those concubines have no heirs and are like duckweeds with no one to rely on. How can they compare with her?!
Not long after Shaoyao prepared lunch for Concubine Duan and the emperor, the emperor finally arrived at Paiyun Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare these dishes. They are most suitable for this summer day. Please try them..." Concubine Duan was busy preparing dishes for Xiao Heng and specially put the cucumber in Xiao Heng's bowl.
Xiao Heng took a bite and found that the taste was indeed refreshing. He nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "It tastes good. Sit down and eat with me!"
Concubine Duan smiled and agreed. Seeing that the emperor seemed to have a big appetite and ate a lot, she was secretly happy. When the lunch was taken away and the fruits were presented, Xiao Heng asked: "Where is Lin'er? Why don't you see him?"
"I was worried that he would disturb the emperor's meal, so I ordered someone to feed him first. I'm afraid he has fallen asleep at this moment..." Concubine Duan quickly replied, but she didn't expect that when the emperor came here, she would
He was anxious to see his son, and his face secretly showed a bit of joy.
When Xiao Heng heard this, he did not force the palace maid to carry the fifth prince over. He nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if he is asleep. The child will grow faster if he sleeps well!"
"Your Majesty, the fifth prince can eat and sleep, and he is much bigger now!" the palace maid Shaoyao added at the right moment. Concubine Duan glanced at Shaoyao appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Yes, his appearance is getting bigger and bigger now."
He looks more and more like an emperor!"
"If you are like me, a man should be like me..." Xiao Heng laughed heartily, held Concubine Duan's hand and said: "Concubine, I will give birth to more children for me in the future. It is best to have another daughter, and
As beautiful as my beloved concubine!"
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Duan glanced at Xiao Heng slightly angrily, with a faint blush on her face and her voice became more and more coquettish.
"Lin'er is still young. When he can call himself daddy, it won't be too late for me to give birth to more children for the emperor..."
"Yes, he is still young..." Xiao Heng suddenly sighed quietly, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and his eyes flickered with an imperceptible light.
Seeing the emperor's expression, Concubine Duan felt inexplicably uneasy and said tentatively: "But he will definitely be more sensible than other princes. Don't you think so, Your Majesty?"
She was afraid of the emperor because the fifth prince was too young, so she gave up the decision to make the fifth prince the crown prince! Although there were few princes in the palace who were more noble than the fifth prince, and no one was like the fifth prince. When the fifth prince was born, the emperor specially held a full moon.
There was a banquet to celebrate, but she had to plan for the fifth prince!
Xiao Heng did not answer Concubine Duan's words, but smiled noncommittally and said: "I just hope that no matter whether the prince or the princess, everyone will put filial piety first, so that I will feel more at ease!"
