Lady Xue was also a bit sad. Her son wasn't married yet. She wanted him to be married to her. Once he was married to her, he would give her another woman …
Emperor Qing He had completely built a botanical garden in the Eastern Palace. The old palaces had all been torn down, leaving only a few larger ones behind. The rest were individual palaces, some for the maids to live in, and some for the pavilions and pavilions for the scenic flowers.
After finding out that she was the eldest brother of the entire Eastern Palace, Wei Zhao was so happy that his eyes were dyed with joy. He happily said to Emperor Qing He, ”Father, you treat me too well.”
Also, because it was Wei Zhao's request, many fruit trees were planted inside, including apricots, plums, peaches, pomegranates, and many other fruits that had directly transplanted a few grapes from who knows where. Furthermore, many fruit trees were already bearing fruits.
The father and son duo sat down in a pavilion with a wide field of vision. Just as they were about to speak, they saw a large group of people walking towards them from afar. The two people in the lead were holding their stomachs.
Wei Zhao glanced at the emperor unhappily. She didn't like to socialize with people who had a lot of ideas. She was originally lazy, but now that she had been studying in the study room everyday, she had to endure the pungent smell of these people.
Emperor Qing He was all smiles. With Wei Zhao's praise, one or two flies appearing in front of him was nothing.
Senior Official Zheng and his men set up the tea set. Wei Zhao personally offered a cup to the emperor while he took a fruit and began to nibble on it.
”We pay our respects to Your Majesty and participate in the Third Princess' training.” The sounds of people greeting each other rose and fell.
It had to be said that the people in the palace were beautiful and had a pleasant voice. However, the Eastern Palace was her territory now. These people had come to her territory without her permission. It was truly rude.
Wei Zhao was extremely unhappy. He sat on the stone bench and chomped on the fruit.
Emperor Qinghe smiled at her for a moment, then said casually, ”Rise.”
The two beauties held the hands of the palace maid and entered the pavilion one after the other.
”Why are you guys here?”
”Reporting to Your Majesty, the imperial physician told me to wait for you to walk around a bit more. When I came out, I coincidentally ran into Big Sister Li, so we ended up together.” Wang Mei spoke first.
Beauty Li took a fan and gently fanned it with a smile and nodded her head in agreement.
”Wu, walking is good as well …”
Wei Zhao finished his fruit, ”Father, didn't you say that you would give your Eastern Palace to your son?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the two beauties' expressions changed. Their gazes both landed on Emperor Qinghe, hoping that he would say something about how the princess didn't understand the affairs of the world. Unexpectedly, he simply nodded.
After Wei Zhao received a satisfactory answer, he didn't say anything unpleasant. He then picked up another bunch of dark green grapes from the plate and gave them to her.
Wei Zhao frowned. ”Is it sour or not?”
Emperor Qinghe snickered in his heart. Cu Tanzi was still afraid of being sore, but she didn't look at him with a mocking smile. ”This was raised from below. You'll know once you taste it.”
If the two girls' expressions had changed just a moment ago, their hearts thumped when they saw that their king was with the princess, especially after seeing that the beauty Wang had stayed in the palace for so many months, almost everyone treated her like the stars surrounding the moon. However, that didn't include the emperor at all.
Wei Zhao was a sensible child at her age, but she had her limits. For example, Big Boss Du wanted to have a son, or Emperor Qinghe said to her, ”Once two beauties have children, they will fight with you for them. These things are all yours now, but when they grow up, they will ask you for them. You are older than them, and if you don't give them anything, they will say that you won't be a big sister and won't let your younger brother or sister … With you, I won't miss any other children. I don't like these two beauties at all, and will get annoyed when I see them. ” ”It would be annoying if he could fool Wei Zhao into seeing a beautiful woman with a big belly.
It wasn't like Wei Zhao hadn't thought of why he would drag her into the palace now that the emperor had two pregnant wives. She'd thought about it for a whole night and found the answer to this question. It really was because she was too good! Back then, didn't Ji Ming's grandfather want to drag her into the Ji Clan? There were so many kids on the street, yet he wanted to kidnap him. Wasn't it because he looked good and was smart?
