When did you feel cold? Even the hot summer air did not block the cold air that was rushing up around her. That's right, ever since His Majesty found out that she was pregnant, she only thought that the concubine was pregnant, so she had experienced the difference between them. The rules of the palace, as well as serving the mama of an unborn prince's daughter, made her palace quiet for a day.
It was as if she were a tool for the birth of a child.
She could not understand how the beautiful Wang Fei could enjoy herself. However, when the Third Princess came back to the palace to cheer her up, she knew that she was really early in the morning.
There was nothing more unbearable than finding out that he was holding the pearl of intelligence in his hand!
It seemed easy to die in this palace, but it wasn't easy for her to die.
Beauty Li slowly walked into the Eastern Palace one step at a time. Although it was winter, the Eastern Palace looked even more lively than the Western Palace, right? Even the sun had risen from the east and was setting from the west.
When a beauty wanted to come, there was no rule that forbade her entry. But if something happened, the Eastern Palace would be the one taking care of her. Lin mama would be like facing a great enemy, but in reality, she had already scolded this blind beauty for eight generations.
"Momo, go and busy yourself. I'll take a walk by myself."
Lin mama reported, "The princess said that the beauty is already at the peak of her age. She asked this old servant to look after her personally." That means you don't want to mess with me, I'm always ready.
Beauty Li nodded her head, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Senior Servant to tell me about the scene in the Eastern Palace."
Lin mama held her hand as they talked, guiding her inside.
The Third Princess had already captured more than half of the chickens. The spacious drill ground was filled with palace maids and attendants. They didn't go up, but only waited for the princess and her reading partners who were having fun.
As soon as she saw the group of children, she could not help but ask, "Where's the princess?"
Lin mama pursed her lips, her face still respectful. She used her eyes to point in the direction of the third princess. "The princess is present."
In the end, there were only five chickens left. These were all fighting chickens among chickens. Even after half a day of hard work, Wei Zhao could still nimbly slip away by touching the corner of his clothes.
The people from the Eastern Palace didn't seem to see Li Mei coming over until Wei Zhao stopped. Ji Panpan, who played the role of mother chicken, simply sat on the ground and wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve, calling out 'tired'.
Wei Zhao smiled as he went to pull her, saying to a palace maid beside him, "In the end, there's an extra chicken leg for tonight's escape!"
Ji Panpan rubbed her belly. After spending these few days with the princess, she realized that the princess was not a tiger, and was even better than her elder sister at home. "Princess, I'm the most tired, so I need to eat two."
Wei Zhao also patted her belly, "Alright, two." Behind them, the fighting chickens refused to accept the results. "Princess, Du Xi wants to be a hen next time. She'll definitely be able to protect more chickens."
Ji Panpan's thick eyebrows trembled. The two of them were about to start a fight. Even though Du Xi's name seemed to have a cultural connotation, she really didn't like to learn. Up until now, her name was still written crookedly. However, Wei Zhao liked them very much. Seeing that they were about to quarrel, he hurriedly stopped them and said, "Sure, let's try Du Xi tomorrow. We'll see how things turn out then."
Wei Zhao waved his hand. "Alright, it's time for today. You can disperse now."
Lin mama had been staring at Beauty Li the entire time. When she saw the trace of disappointment in her eyes, her heart trembled.
A eunuch came over to pass on the message, "His Majesty sends the princess."
Emperor Qing He smiled and said, "You have done well. It is taboo for you to judge others' abilities by your own affection or disgust."
Wei Zhao nodded, "Yes, just like how I like to cook Red Braised Meat. If I send him to be an official, that would be bad."
Qing He smiled, "That's right, that's the truth …" With Beauty Li here, you don't have to worry about her … From today onwards, I will only have you as my child. "
Wei Zhao's mouth was wide open. Just as he was about to say, could it be that she wasn't your child in her womb? It was fortunate that she remembered the Imperial Tutor's words and recalled them before she said them, thus avoiding trouble.
After father and daughter had eaten dinner, Emperor Qinghe sent Wei Zhao back, "I heard that you brought someone with you tonight. This is pretty good, I have prepared a basket of new money for you, take it back to reward you. Your chicken drumstick is better left for the day." Also, don't play around for too long. You have to pay attention to your work. "
Emperor Qing He watched Wei Zhao leave and stood at the door for a long time without moving. Senior Official Zheng cautiously said, "Your Majesty can be at ease. The princess has always been very clear-minded. She's passed down the role of a Successor Disciple and is very sincere. It can be said to be a great coincidence." Emperor Qing He heaved a sigh of relief. "The late Emperor gave his life to those who had less than fifty years of age. This Emperor is truly afraid!" I wonder if I'll be able to see her get married and have kids. "
When Wei Zhao returned, the group of people played to the end of their days before separated under Lin mama's urging.
"The Eastern Palace is the residence of previous princes. The princes are all men, and the princes are all men, so they should have avoided His Majesty's imperial concubines. Originally, this had nothing to do with the imperial concubines, but from the start, only the imperial concubines of the Eastern Palace have gone to the imperial harem to pay respects. Even though the princess was a woman, His Majesty had already made it clear that the princess was not the princess of the Eastern Palace. This servant thought that it would be best if the rules of the Eastern Palace were established earlier. "May I know what is the princess' intentions?"
Wei Zhao threw himself on the bed and lazily said, "I'll take care of it."
When Lin mama heard this, she decided to rub her hands together. If Beauty Li came again, she would reject her on the grounds that the Eastern Palace should avoid the harem.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Beauty Li had also become smarter. Lin mama, who had originally thought she was superior, wanted to vomit blood and had no choice but to pass on a message for her. "Beauty Li requests to see the princess."
Wei Zhao went to meet her at the Tai Temple.
"I have something to say to the princess alone."
When Lin mama heard this, she shot a fierce glance at Wei Zhao. He absolutely couldn't leave her alone. If something happened, there would be no room for debate.
Ever since Wei Zhao had heard Emperor Qing He's words, he had a faint thought that he didn't share with anyone. However, the honored tutor had also taught him to guard against others, lest he use the worst kind of malice to probe people's hearts.
"Senior Servant will take a look at the entrance of the hall." Wei Zhao looked at Beauty Li and said to Lin mama.
Lin mama retreated to the entrance of the great hall, wishing she could dig out a pair of eyeballs and stick them onto the princess' body.
Beauty Li said in a low voice, "Your servant has something to report to Your Majesty. I would be grateful if Your Highness could pass on the information that there are no other people around."
Wei Zhao curiously sized up Beauty Li's stomach, then said with an equally low voice with a hint of doubt, "Yesterday royal father told me that from today onwards, he will only have me as his only child."
Beauty Li's face instantly turned pale, and the idea in Wei Zhao's heart was quickly made clear. The emperor being able to call her mother without anyone knowing could also lead to her being born. This kind of thing was a big gossip in the countryside. It wouldn't be a problem even if it was spread for a year or two. There was once a country bumpkin who was cuckolded by his nephew. When the Du Family and Eldest Brother Du gossiped, they didn't avoid Wei Zhao and even gave her a lesson, the course's name was "What if you are that country bumpkin?"
Although Wei Zhao was only five years old, he'd long since understood that he couldn't put his true thoughts on his face. At this moment, she had a slightly proud and ignorant face.
Beauty Li backed out, drenched in cold sweat.
Wei Zhao sat cross-legged on the couch, deep in thought. Mister Qian had already gone to Ping County a long time ago. Although he hadn't told her that he was going for her, it was impossible for Mister Qian to not know the truth. Otherwise, why would he be so strict with her? At that time, the Emperor had no children, and she still pitied him.
In other words, when the palace beauties were not pregnant, royal father had already planned to recognize her. However, two beauties became pregnant all of a sudden in the palace. Emperor Qinghe had spent a lot of time and effort to bring her back, and he had even said that sentence yesterday as well as Li Moli's attitude today.
Wei Zhao was a bit curious. Who was the child in Beauty Li's womb?
Zhou Xuan was called into the main hall. He knelt on the ground, completely confused. The princess didn't speak and only stared at him. What was the meaning of this? He was someone who was determined to get married! The princess was only seven years old!
Wei Zhao: Eastern Palace has guards, I don't know if royal father's harem has guards, hmm, Guard Zhou is pretty good-looking!
Since Beauty Li had already done so, Wei Zhao winked at Emperor Qing He when he saw him again. She was small, so she did a superb 'glance' with her eyes. Emperor Qing He reached out his ears in amusement. Wei Zhao whispered about the request of Beauty Li, and then asked curiously, "Imperial Father, can't the concubine of your imperial harem directly ask for an audience?"
Emperor Qinghe shook his head. "The Empress and Imperial Consort are fine, but as for anyone else, except for me in charge of the palace, I have no chance to take the initiative to meet with you."
At night, Wei Zhao simply pulled Lin mama aside and continued asking for advice. "What if the harem people have very important matters to discuss with Imperial Father?"
Lin mama shook her head. "That's not something that can be seen just because you want to. It depends on what you see. In the past, when Yan Xiangfei had yet to leave the palace to recuperate, the affairs of the imperial harem were mostly handled by the Empress herself. Right now, the palace attendants are led by Senior Official Zheng and Senior Servant Mu. His Majesty's harem is sparsely populated, so there's nothing to do. "
Wei Zhao was curious, "The big mama?"
Lin mama nodded. "The first mama is Esteemed Empress Dowager's personal palace maid. So she went to Grand Preceptor Wang's estate to raise her. Who knew that His Majesty would order for her to be recalled to the palace this year?"
Lan Zhu brought the bird's nest congee over and said, "Princess, you've seen it before. It's the day of the Double Sun Festival."
Wei Zhao recalled that on the night of the Double Sun Festival, she and her father had accompanied him to dinner. At that time, there was an old mama standing next to him, looking rather solemn and even giving him a few extra glances.
Wei Zhao took the bowl and gulped it down. "I've forgotten to tell royal father!" He pulled his shoes on and ran outside.
"Princess, slow down!" A cry.
He heard a report from outside, "The princess requests an audience." The eunuch subconsciously hid the tray in his hands behind his back.
Emperor Qing He patted the edge of the bed. Wei Zhao flew in, stepped off his shoes, and climbed onto the bed. "Father, I forgot to tell you something!"
