Chapter 331 (1/2)
A baby's cry broke the silence of Yongle Palace. Zhao Qingyao's forehead was covered with unclean cold sweat. She pushed away the veil stretched out by the butterfly shadow. Hold back the pain in your lower body. Struggling to get up, he asked, ”where's the child? Bring the child over and let the palace have a look.”
Butterfly shadow was surprised and almost dropped her veil on the ground. She hesitated and said, ”don't worry, madam. The baby was taken by the midwife to clean it. She will bring it to her later. She just gave birth to a baby. You'd better go to sleep and have a rest.”
Zhao Qingyao can't sleep now. Just keep her eyes wide open. Looking at the ceiling, ”have you seen the child, the prince or the princess?”
”Yes...” butterfly shadow took a breath. ”If you go back to your mother, it's a little princess. The emperor has seen it and said he likes it very much. He has rewarded many treasures that other mothers don't have.”
”What? It's a princess,” Zhao Qingyao couldn't believe her ears. Her bloodshot eyes looked straight at her, ”how could it be a princess. It's clearly the prince's.”
Butterfly shadow's eyes turned red and knelt on the ground with a plop. ”Empress, it's really a princess. Don't be angry. You can see from the number of times the emperor has gone to ward palace and Yongle Palace. The emperor cares more about the princess than the prince.”
”Care about the princess? You are so childish,” said Zhao Qingyao, with no emotion in her eyes and a sneer on her lips, ”You think the emperor cares about the princess, just because girls are soft like pets, which is more convenient to play with in the palm of his hand and control. If the emperor cares more about the princess, he will let the princess receive the same education as the prince, let the talented Princess enter the East Palace and become a prince, and let the princess succeed the emperor. You think the emperor likes the princess, only Just like a pet. ”
Butterfly shadow trembled and said with a cry, ”but there's really no way. My mother gave birth to a princess, not a prince. This is an unchangeable fact.”
Zhao Qingyao almost bit the blood out of her lips. She beat the quilt several times and clenched her teeth and said, ”why can the queen give birth to a pair of twins at one time, and the palace prayed to the gods day and night. She gave birth to a princess three times in a row. Is God really teasing me?”
Butterfly shadow carefully looked at her angry face. ”Don't be angry, madam. If you are seen by the imperial doctor midwife or something, it won't be worth it to the emperor's ears.”
Zhao Qingyao broke a mouthful of silver teeth and said, ”did the queen send anything?”
The butterfly shadow nodded and said haltingly, ”but the queen is very strange. When the empress's Princess hasn't been born, she seems to have expected in advance and sent a lot of girls' favorite things.”
”This bitch,” Zhao Qingyao almost didn't slow down, ”the palace knew she didn't mean well. She was cursing the palace for giving birth to a princess. If she sees the jokes of the palace like this, the palace will pay back a tooth for a tooth in the future.”
”The empress must be careful to keep fit. If the princess is trained into a woman like Princess Poyang, she may be able to turn over,” butterfly shadow turned her eyes. ”Moreover, as soon as the queen left, the twins will be the empress's. The Empress must endure. She must not let the queen become the empress dowager, otherwise it will be a big trouble.”
”Of course I know. Can I use you to remind me?” Zhao Qingyao bit her lower lip. ”Forget it, when I dreamed last night, I also dreamed of my daughter's house. I had a chance in my heart, but I didn't expect that fate was so unfair. I didn't have the ability to have children three times. I don't have this ability in the future. Let's have a good rest.”
Butterfly shadow nodded slightly and said, ”the emperor said that he would hold a banquet for the princess in a few days?”
”That's to invite Duan Wang and Duan Princess again,” Zhao Qingyao rubbed her eyebrows upset. ”The palace knows that the queen is still looking forward to Duan Wang coming at this moment. Her heart is much hotter than the emperor.”
Li shuse gently blew the hot air on the hot tea and glanced carelessly at the thin incense rolling with laughter. ”You're not finished. People who don't know hear your laughter thought it was another pair of twins in the palace. You'd better stop.”
Thin incense smiled and tears came out. ”Madam, why did you say that Princess Zhao was so unlucky? She gave birth to three princesses in a row, and the eldest princess died prematurely. Now she can only live on two princesses.”
The smile on Li xuse's lips became stronger and stronger, ”luck is bad, and the palace can't help it, but the emperor doesn't like the princess. It just allows the emperor to go to Yongle Palace for a rest and make Zhao Guifei less lonely.”
”What can she be lonely about? Just sighing her luck in the palace can make her complain for a long time,” thin Xiang smiled. ”She must hate her mother very much now. She's going to kill the two princes in ward palace.”
”She has long wanted to kill the palace, let alone now. Fortunately, God didn't give her this capital,” Li chuse couldn't help but raise a proud smile. ”Princess Zhao gave birth to a princess. The palace must have a banquet. At that time, Duanwang will come. I haven't seen him in the spring of the palace.”
”My mother must have missed him for a long time.”
”If you are such a talkative girl,” Li Xiuse glared at her with a crimson cheek, ”why hasn't sun Peijiu been moving these days? How is she doing between Duanwang and the princess to be? If there is no progress, the pair of mandarin ducks will get married soon.”
Thin incense turned her eyes and wondered, ”the maidservant also felt very strange. Miss Sun hasn't entered the palace for a long time and hasn't heard any news outside. However, it seems that someone said that Lord Sun plans to marry the third childe of Zhao's family.”
