Concubine Rong nodded: "This is easy. I'm afraid you'll be tired after coming too many. I'll give you a cup of tea here."
He also called Xue Hengzhao: "Ningcui has gone out. You can see off Concubine Xian for me."
Xue Hengzhao agreed and followed Concubine Xian out.
Walking to the corridor, Concubine Xian tilted her head slightly and asked Xue Hengzhao: "Miss Xue, I vaguely remember that your ancestors are from Cixi."
"Your Majesty remembers it well, but our family has always been thin. Ever since my great-grandfather's generation moved out, we no longer have any relatives in our ancestral home." Xue Heng responded.
"Cixi is a good place," Concubine Xian nodded, "that's where my grandmother's home is."
"Cixi has beautiful mountains and rivers and prosperous people. It's a pity that I only read about it in books." Xue Hengzhao smiled lightly.
"Strange Taoists say that the Xue family has been well-dressed for generations, and even you, a girl, are clever and talkative." Concubine Xian praised Xue Hengzhao with a smile.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary, but the quality of a slave like pampas grass is unworthy of me." Xue Hengzhao said humbly.
Concubine Xian went away, and Xue Hengzhao came to wait on the concubine.
"You have been here for a long time, so you should go back there every now and then to have a look," the concubine said. "I only have tea for the first half of the day, and others will take care of the rest."
"Thank you for your understanding, Concubine Fu," Xue Hengzhao said, "I also want to take a leave of absence and go to Concubine Fu to say hello."
"I told you earlier, you can just call me ancestor," Concubine Rong said softly, "I liked you the first time I saw you, and I just treat you like a little granddaughter."
At this time Aunt Ningcui also came back and said with a smile: "Hengzhao, the concubine rarely wins someone. You fell in love with your ancestors, but no matter how many people ask for it, you can't get it."
"Thank you, ancestors, for your support. It is truly a blessing for me." Xue Heng said with a blessing.
"Go ahead! You have been in front of me for a long time, so you will inevitably feel nervous." Concubine Rong smiled lovingly, "You can take some of the fruit snacks we have here and give them to your little sisters over there.
It seems that my old lady also understands human feelings."
Xue Hengzhao smiled and thanked him, and then came out.
After returning to his residence and resting for a while, Xue Hengzhao brought two little girls and some snacks and fruits to Furong Palace.
I went to see Concubine Fu first.
Concubine Fu held her hand and smiled: "Look, you have only been away from me for a few days, but it seems like many years have passed."
"I miss you too. Is your Majesty okay?" Xue Heng asked.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine! It's you, no one will go over there to cause trouble for you, right?" Concubine Fu asked.
"It's not obvious on the surface, but I'm afraid I still have some thoughts secretly," Xue Hengzhao smiled, "But it's all expected. There's no need for the queen to worry."
"That's good," Concubine Fu nodded, "The Imperial Concubine's palace is clean and nurturing. You have only been there these days, and your face looks even more rosy."
"Slave, please order a cup of tea for your Majesty!" Xue Hengzhao said, "I haven't served your Majesty for a long time."
"If you are interested, order tea and then play a game of chess with me." said Concubine Fu.
Xue Heng agreed and ordered a cup of tea for Concubine Fu. The two of them discussed the upcoming situation in detail while playing chess.
At the end of the game, Concubine Fu said with a smile: "You don't have to wait in front of me anymore, go meet Youzhu and the others. You went to the palace of the concubine, and I saw that they were all in trouble. I missed you."
"Then I will be on my own," Xue Hengzhao stood up and saluted, "I really miss these sisters."
After leaving Concubine Fu's palace, Youzhu and others surrounded Xue Hengzhao and asked her how she was doing.
"Let's go back to the house and sit and talk!" Fangdian said, "This is not the place to talk."
"Who says it's not the case? It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time." Bishu said, "Let's go to the back and talk while having tea."
Everyone then walked to the back, and the two little girls who followed Xue Hengzhao had already taken all the things that Concubine Rong had rewarded.
Fangdian poured tea for everyone, and everyone sat and talked.
"I haven't seen Chi Su for a few days." Bishu said. "I went to look for her a few days ago, but I couldn't find her for a while. There were too many people there and it was chaotic. I asked two people to ask, but they ignored me.
I had no choice but to come back.”
"Most of the people over there are latecomers, and they're all very pretty." Youzhu said dissatisfied, "I guess Miss Chi San will have a hard time there, and she has to find a way to go there and have a look.
, if there’s anything missing, bring her some.”
"Don't worry, I'm planning to go look for her later." Xue Hengzhao said, "I'll be free for the rest of the day. You all have errands to attend to, so you might as well leave."
Xue Hengzhao had long known that Chi Su had been assigned to the primary school, but he did not tell anyone.
"Then you have to be careful and don't get too hot. If you see her, tell us if you have anything to say." Everyone told Xue Hengzhao, "Forget the rest and get some medicine to relieve heat! Today
It’s really not a joke.”
Xue Hengzhao stayed here with everyone for half an hour before leaving.
It was almost noon, so Xue Hengzhao went back to his residence to rest for a while.
He got up and took a bath, changed his clothes, asked a little girl to follow him, held an umbrella and went back to look for Chi Su.
Walking to the small school grounds, there was a Tang maple tree. Xue Hengzhao stood under the shade of the tree, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the little girl: "Go over there, give this silver to the steward, and ask Sister Chi to come out for a moment."
"
The little girl went there for a while, then came out with her cheeks puffed up, and said to Xue Hengzhao: "Sister Xue, that person in charge is not honest, and it's my fault that I'm too stupid. After I gave him the money, he said that Sister Chi was not here and had gone to the imperial court.
Horse supervisor."
"It doesn't matter, it's the same." Xue Hengzhao smiled lightly, "Then let's go over there."
The little girl's worries were relieved. She originally thought that Xue Hengzhao had a cold temperament and was not easy to get along with.
Besides, I was indeed negligent this time and didn't do things well.
But Xue Hengzhao didn't blame her at all, and he didn't care about the lost piece of silver. She couldn't help but feel that Xue Hengzhao was a generous person.
There is still a long way to go to the Royal Horse Prison. Fortunately, there are trees all the way, so the walk is not hard.
When they arrived at the door of the Royal Horse Prison, Xue Hengzhao sent the little girl away: "I'm really thirsty after walking all the way. Could you please go get me some water?"
"I will go to the nearest place to make you a bowl of tea." The little girl said, "Sister, please be patient and wait a moment."
The reason why Xue Hengzhao sent the little girl away was because she thought that Chi Su would not come to the Royal Horse Prison at will, especially at this time, most likely with the sixth prince.
Chi Su was naturally in the Royal Horse Prison to take care of the injured horse. She originally took time to come and take a look at it every morning and evening.
But today the sixth prince came over, asked her about the horse, and asked Chi Su to come with him.
Chi Su couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to come.
