Concubine Shu had a rare good sleep. When she woke up, Lu'er was standing beside her with a smile on her face.
"Toffee, you're awake. You must have slept well last night."
In the past, Tai Toffee would wake up as soon as the sky turned white, but today he woke up so late.
Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Concubine Shu lifted the quilt, put on her shoes and got out of bed, "It's raining outside, no wonder I slept so well."
"Yes," Lu'er helped her sit down, hurried to get water for her to wash, and then brought breakfast to the table.
After finishing her breakfast, Concubine Shu returned to her couch. Lu'er looked at the gloomy sky outside and muttered, "With the world in such a state, how can tomorrow be a good day for the little princess's first birthday?"
The troubles brought by the rainy day became cheerful after hearing these words.
Concubine Shu raised her eyelids. Tomorrow was a good day for her, but not necessarily for the emperor.
Thinking of Yu Yiluo's delicate and pretty face, Concubine Shu closed her eyes and thought to herself that if you want to blame someone, blame it on your bad luck of being born in an imperial family.
After sending Lu'er away, Concubine Shu called Xiao Shize and whispered a few instructions to him.
"Do it as soon as possible."
…
Yu Yiluo has been particularly happy since she brought the medicine back last night.
Tomorrow is my first birthday. I'm really looking forward to it.
If nothing unexpected happens, rumors will spread today that even the people in the Divine Doctor Valley can't cure the concubines' illnesses. It must be the work of evil spirits.
As she expected, at lunchtime, she saw the emperor coming to Zuihua Palace with a gloomy face.
Concubine Xian respectfully welcomed the person in and asked gently, "What's wrong with the emperor?"
The emperor sat down on the chair and said, "Some people are gossiping that there is an evil spirit causing trouble in the harem. Since tomorrow is Luo'er's first birthday, it is not appropriate to see blood. I plan to deal with this matter after Luo'er's first birthday."
[Daddy is so emotionally unstable. Why are you so angry? Let's just make Concubine Shu happy first. When the heroine enters the palace today, tomorrow will be the time to sabotage her.]
[I hope Concubine Shu can hold her composure and not die of anger, otherwise there will be no fun.]
"Your Majesty has anticipated this, so why should he get so upset over this?"
Empress Xian poured a cup of tea and handed it to him with a smile.
"A moment of pride is nothing. After all, Your Majesty, you are the winner, aren't you?"
The emperor took the tea and took a sip. "You are right. Concubine De said that the princess will return to the capital today. She will come to the palace immediately after seeing her letter."
[Even if I didn't see the letter, I would still go to the palace. After all, I would be curious about who the impostor is.]
[Hehe, tomorrow will definitely be fun. We'll both slap Concubine Shu in the face.]
The emperor was puzzled. Two people? Could there be someone else besides the princess? Who else could slap Concubine Shu in the face?
Luo'er hid her little secret very deeply and didn't even let her father know.
"By the way, I have already sent someone to secretly invite the abbot of Baiyun Temple. He will definitely not let Luo'er suffer any negative comments."
"Your Majesty is so thoughtful, I am ashamed to be inferior to him."
Empress Xian really didn't expect that the Emperor would send someone to invite the abbot of Baiyun Temple. She thought that having Princess Mu there was enough.
Seeing that the emperor was so concerned about his daughter, Concubine Xian's smile became more sincere.
[Who says men aren't considerate? Daddy is quite considerate, isn't he? Actually, it doesn't matter whether the abbot invites me or not. I won't be hurt anyway.]
The two talked for a while and heard footsteps coming from outside.
"Empress Xian..."
When Concubine De saw the emperor, her shouting voice instantly stopped and turned into a gentle greeting.
[Hahahaha, Auntie Defei is so adorable! Her transformation is so smooth.]
"Get up."
The emperor said this and looked at Mu Xue.
"Thank you for your hard work, Princess."
Mu Xue shook her head and got straight to the point. "I've already learned the general situation from Concubine De. I wonder if Xiang and Lily are still here?"
The emperor looked at Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao understood, "I will go get the lilies for the princess right now."
De Fei was puzzled, "But the emperor has tried both the incense and the flowers, and he has no other symptoms of discomfort."
"We'll know once Eunuch Cao brings the things over. Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please rest assured. I'm confident."
Soon, Eunuch Cao came back with lilies in a vase and handed it to Mu Xue.
Mu Xue glanced at the lily, then put it aside and said to Concubine Xian, "Let me take a look at the incense first."
After looking at the incense handed to her by Concubine Xian, Mu Xue returned it to her and said, "It smells good, there's nothing wrong with it."
As she spoke, she picked up the stale lilies and put them under her nose to sniff.
"With the fresh lilies and their fragrance, it's no wonder the ladies are experiencing chest tightness and anxiety. The person who tampered with it was very clever. That's why the emperor tried it and it didn't work."
[The flowers are no longer fresh, no wonder.]
[That old woman is quite clever. She's guarded the imperial mausoleum for so many years and she hasn't become stupid.]
"Eunuch Cao, go to the greenhouse and get a bunch of fresh lilies."
Eunuch Cao took the lilies that Mu Xue handed over and said, "Your Majesty, I have asked, and the last bunch of fresh lilies in the greenhouse is this one."
"The ladies in the palace don't like lilies, saying they are too fragrant and not suitable for display in the house, so there are fewer lilies in the flower room."
The emperor signaled Eunuch Cao not to say anything more and asked Mu Xue.
"How can I alleviate this symptom?"
"The Imperial Hospital staff were unable to resolve this issue, presumably because they didn't know the cause. Just tell them the cause of this symptom, and they'll be able to resolve it."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Cao immediately bowed and went out to deal with the matter.
"My princess, you've been traveling so long. Tomorrow is Luo'er's first birthday, so please stay in the palace."
The emperor said this and turned away.
"Just in time," Concubine De looked at Mu Xue jokingly, "The Third Prince is also in the palace."
"aunt."
Mu Xue was a little embarrassed.
My aunt has changed so quickly. After I inexplicably asked her to answer many questions, she started praising His Highness endlessly. Did His Highness give my aunt something?
Your Highness would not do such a thing.
While she was thinking, a soft little hand took her hand. Mu Xue lowered her eyes and looked. Yu Yiluo tilted her head back, and her slightly flushed face was reflected in her round eyes.
[Haha, wait for this little cutie like me to take the princess to see the Third Emperor, so that he can relieve his longing for her.]
"The little princess has grown so big."
Mu Xue looked surprised. Yu Yiluo's height really didn't seem like that of a one-year-old child.
Concubine Xian and Concubine De looked at each other and said softly, "Luo'er wants to play with the princess. Please excuse me, princess."
This was the first time that Mu Xue was loved by a child, especially such a delicate and pretty child. She felt a strange feeling in her heart.
Ever since she came back from the Valley of Divine Doctors, not only the children but even the noble ladies in the capital felt that she was too cold and aloof, so they didn't like to get close to her.
"It's no trouble. The little princess is very cute. I like her very much."
【I like this assist from my mother. 】
Yu Yiluo took Mu Xue's hand and walked outside. The rain had stopped outside, and the palace road was a little wet because of the rain.
