Chapter 311 (1/2)
Xue ronghua twisted his handkerchief in the Yongle Palace. After waiting for a long time, he saw Princess Zhao staggering out of the back hall. He smiled and saluted her and said, ”little girl, meet princess Zhao.”
”I also said little girls. They are all going to be princess Duan. In the future, just call them concubines.” Zhao Qingyao covered her mouth and said with a smile, ”get up. There has been no one in the palace for a long time. It can be regarded as waiting for you.”
Xue ronghua smiled and said, ”my mother is very lucky. She gave birth to two princesses. The little girl is also lucky.”
”What's the blessing here in this palace? It's a pair of twins in chenghuan hall,” Zhao Qingyao looked at her face with the rest of her eyes. ”Why didn't you see Duan Wang? He went to chenghuan palace to say hello yesterday. Why didn't he come to Yongle Palace today?”
Xue ronghua said with some embarrassment, ”please forgive me. Duan Wang has something to go to the study. I'll come back to greet her later. I don't mean to ignore her.”
Zhao Qingyao turned her eyes and gave a meaningful ”Oh”. ”The palace knows. It doesn't mean that Duan Wang ignores the palace. But everyone has an inconvenient time. The Emperor invited Duan Wang. Just go to the emperor. It's a pity that the palace didn't see Duan Wang. But it's not inevitable.”
Xue ronghua drooped his eyes and said, ”thank you for your consideration.”
”They are all from their own families. What's considerate or not?” Zhao Qingyao said with a smile, ”thin fragrance. Go and get some Bodhi fruit for the princess to taste.”
Xue ronghua frowned, ”Bodhi fruit, why have I never heard of such fruit?”
”It's not fruit, it's a medicine. As for the meaning of this medicine, you'll know later.”
Xue ronghua looked puzzled at the plate brought by thin Xiang. The Bodhi fruits in it were like the face of a beauty, ”can't women eat it to keep their youth forever?”
”The princess is smart. Duan Wang sent so many good things to the palace when he came back from the state of Qi. There are no other rare things in the palace. Let's try this for the princess.”
Xue ronghua looked at her face, and sure enough, she was much younger than other women of the same age who gave birth in the harem. ”But I never believed that there was any medicine to keep youth forever. The world would grow old. What should I do to keep youth forever?”
Zhao Qingyao was refuted by her, but there was no embarrassment on her face. ”Does the princess think that Duanwang can really have only one wife for a lifetime and will never take other women into the palace?”
Xue ronghua said positively, ”he promised me that he would not marry another woman, never.”
”Are you sure that if Duanwang becomes the emperor in the future, he won't do so?” Zhao Qingyao chuckled. ”If so, Duanwang is really eternal. Zhao Qingyao was stunned and bowed his head in embarrassment.” the princess, an outsider, saw it so thoroughly. This palace sounds really ashamed. ”
”The empress is also very powerful. There's no need to be ashamed,” Xue ronghua sighed a little tired, picked up a Bodhi fruit and put it into his mouth. ”Can you only rely on this medicine to keep the lover in your heart?”
Zhao Qingyao's eyes were bright. ”Does the princess love Duanwang very much?”
”Does the empress love the emperor?”
The smile on Zhao Qingyao's lips grew stronger, ”My palace used to love him very much, but time went by. My palace understood that it was ridiculous to talk about love with people in the imperial family, but it was more practical to say something about honor and power. Therefore, my palace lived in Yongle Palace today and became Princess Zhao. In the future, it may also be a high-ranking imperial concubine or madam. Even if I can't sit in the Queen's seat, the Empress Dowager will be more beautiful in the future Good? ”
Xue ronghua was silent for a moment, turned his head and said with a smile: ”in a few years, I returned to the state of Qin from the state of Qi and saw my mother again. It's really different from the past. My mother has changed from a girl who doesn't know the world to a scheming palace woman. It seems that time can really change a lot.”
”That's why the Palace should eat Bodhi fruit well to ensure that those times will not leave traces on the palace's face,” Zhao Qingyao smiled and ate several Bodhi fruits. ”Can your mother tell the palace what the final outcome of Princess Poyang is?”
Xue ronghua had a moment of stagnation. ”Imperial concubine Chen died of a serious illness. I have told her mother.”
”The one who died was not princess Poyang, it was just Princess Chen. The palace still had this ability,” Zhao Qingyao said with a smile. ”The palace understood the connection between the princess and Xirong, and also knew that she finally let Xiang he sit in the sedan chair. I'm afraid it was another person who married the emperor with the princess's ability?”
Xue ronghua looked at her and said in a dumb voice, ”indeed, the princess is not the emperor's own daughter, but the daughter of Prince Chen. Later, she came to Xirong and was killed by the daughter of Queen Chen who sent her out of the palace.”
