Chapter 303 (1/2)
Zhao Qingyao's eyes turned red, sucked her nose and said, ”I'm not afraid of the emperor. I'm just too afraid of losing the emperor. If only the emperor could accompany the two princesses all his life.”
The emperor looked at her with loving eyes. ”I will accompany you more in my lifetime. And our two little princesses will grow up healthily.”
Zhao Qingyao filled his arms with tears in her eyes. ”Emperor, I believe the four of us can be together well. What I think in my mind when I give birth is the shadow of the emperor. If only I could give birth to a little prince for the emperor. It's best to look like the Emperor.”
”I said it didn't matter whether it was a princess or a prince. As long as it was born to you, I like it,” the emperor turned his eyes. ”But the twins of imperial concubine Fu look like me when I was a child.”
Zhao Qingyao trembled and his eyes darkened. ”That's great. The emperor must like the twin son of imperial concubine Fu very much. My concubine hasn't seen the two princes for a long time. When my concubine is ready, the emperor will take my concubine to see imperial concubine Fu.”
”King Xiang has arrived in Kyoto. He will come into the palace with King Duan to greet me and the concubines in the back palace,” the emperor bowed his head and thought for a while. ”I wanted to take you and imperial concubine Fu to the banquet, but is your body OK?”
”Of course it's OK. My concubine hasn't had children, but she's not so delicate.” Zhao Qingyao's eyes brightened. ”The emperor will take my concubine to a banquet. My concubine hasn't seen Duanwang and princess to be for a long time, so it's OK to talk about the past.”
The emperor touched her cheek. With a smile, ”I promise to take you to the banquet, but you must take good care of yourself these days. The princess might as well take it to the study, and the nursing mother will follow. I think you like quiet best. It's bad if you quarrel.”
Zhao Qingyao said with a smile, ”the emperor takes care of my concubine so much. I'm a little embarrassed. But the princess is so small. Can the emperor take care of it? Don't quarrel with the emperor. I really lost my duty.”
”She is so small that even if she is quarreled, I am very willing,” the emperor smiled at her while coaxing the little baby carved with powder and jade. ”Children will inevitably make trouble. It's also excellent to put it around me to relieve my boredom. You can rest assured to recuperate in the Yongle Palace.”
Zhao Qingyao's eyes flashed a trace of cold, but his lips were smiling. ”Yes, my concubine will keep her body in the palace.”
Li xuse picked up the cup and drank a mouthful of tea with a calm face. ”Has Princess Zhao been tossing about for so long, has her prince been born?”
Thin incense laughed and fell. ”What prince? I heard that Princess Zhao moaned for a long time in Yongle Palace and gave birth to a princess. As soon as she saw the princess, her face was half green. What do you think she did Dharma in Yongle Palace every day?”
Li xuse was still calm, and was amused by thin Xiang's gloating laughter. ”It's not so easy to have a prince. Princess Zhao's abacus is not good at all.”
”I'm blind to the money for those practices. Madam, you can't get heaven's mercy at all,” said thin Xiang with a red smile. ”Madam, do you think Princess Zhao will continue to live?”
”If she wants to continue to live, it depends on whether the emperor has this intention,” said Li xuse. ”The palace sees that the emperor is depressed these days. I'm afraid it's because of his poor health. Men can't stick to it at a certain age. Princess Zhao still has a dead heart.”
Thin Xiang nodded approvingly. ”I'm afraid Princess Zhao can't give birth to the prince in her life. If she has this time, she might as well curry favor with other princes and pave a way for herself. If the two princesses are sent to make peace like Princess Poyang, Princess Zhao will be miserable for the rest of her life.”
Li shuse was stunned. His hand holding the tea cup shook a few times and sprinkled a few drops of tea, which almost burned his hand, ”Princess Zhao, she...”
”By the way, there's something I haven't told my mother,” thin Xiang said with a soft smile. ”My mother has been looking forward to Duan Wang and the princess to be. I heard the emperor say that Xiang Wang has arrived in Kyoto and will soon go into the palace with Duan Wang to greet the emperor.”
Li xuse nodded and asked with some hesitation, ”will concubine Zhao attend the banquet?”
”Yes, Princess Zhao has just given birth to a princess. Naturally, the emperor will attend with a pair of princesses of the little princess and her mother,” thin Xiang turned her eyes. ”But don't worry, my mother is still the focus of the banquet. After all, the prince is more noble than the princess.”
Li xuse nodded carelessly, ”let's make good preparations, too. The palace and the princess to be have not seen each other for many years. She must be very concerned about the palace, and the Palace should dress up better. She should know that the palace has been doing well in recent years.”
Thin incense quickly said with a smile: ”the empress is now a high-ranking imperial concubine and the highest ranking imperial concubine in the harem. As soon as the prospective Princess listens to your position as a high-ranking imperial concubine, she will naturally know that you are doing well.”
Li xuse said to be the princess, but her mind was full of the shadow of Duan Wang. Since he returned to the state of Qin, she couldn't sleep at night. She always thought it would be good to see him again. However, she was already the mother of her twin son and the imperial concubine of his father. She had long lost all expectations, and he had a woman he loved deeply and was about to marry that woman, I can only think about it in my heart.
”Thin incense,” Li xuse lowered his eyebrow and took off the jade pendant around his waist, ”put this in a brocade box, and the palace will take it to the banquet.”
”Isn't my mother going to leave this for herself,” thin Xiang took the jade pendant and wondered, ”is my mother going to give it to Duanwang?”
