Chapter 234 Understanding Her
"I like my younger brother." Xiao Cheng'an blurted out without thinking.
Liu Yuetang was slightly surprised: "Oh, why?"
She looked at Xiao Cheng'an, but could not find any flaws on his young face.
"I just want a lively brother who can ride horses and shoot arrows with me."
The queen's smile faded slightly as she listened to her lively brother.
An'er always felt that the second prince was dull and the two of them could never get along.
As for the Third Prince, it was probably because An'er didn't like him at all. After meeting him once in Anle Palace, she never mentioned this younger brother again.
That's why he wanted a lively younger brother.
She turned to look at Xiao Heng, and only felt relieved when she saw that there was nothing unusual in his expression.
Fortunately, children speak without restraint, and An'er didn't say much.
"Then, Concubine Liu, do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?" Xiao Cheng'an asked.
Liu Yuetang was slightly stunned. This question could not be answered casually.
If I say that I like the prince, not to mention whether the queen will think that I am coveting the throne, I am afraid that Xiao Heng will also think too much.
As she pondered, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Mother Concubine Liu, I like both my brother and my sister, but it would be best if it was a sister."
"Why?" Xiao Cheng'an frowned.
He remembered that his mother had told him this before.
Every concubine in the palace is eager to give birth to a prince so that he can take away their place in their father's heart in the future.
Liu Yuetang raised her hand to touch her belly and looked at Xiao Heng with bright eyes: "Because your father wanted a princess, Concubine Liu wanted your father's wish to come true."
The Queen was quite surprised, "Oh, the Emperor actually wants a princess?"
The queen turned her head to look at Xiao Heng.
At this moment, Xiao Heng's pupils were filled with the image of Liu Yuetang.
Those eyes that usually seemed as deep as a cold pond were now rippling with tiny ripples.
But after a moment, Xiao Heng lowered his eyes.
"Hello Princess, Princess is so thoughtful."
After saying this, he picked up the teacup with blue and white porcelain branches and his eyes casually fell on the rising steam.
Before, he did want a princess, after all, he only had one princess.
But later Miaomiao said that she only wanted to have one child, so he now wants a prince more.
Although he had high expectations for An'er, he still hoped that there would be a more virtuous and intelligent prince who could be selected as the crown prince in the future.
And if the candidate is Miaomiao and his child, it would be the best.
After putting down the teacup, Xiao Heng glanced at the sky outside.
"The rain has subsided a bit. I will accompany Concubine Xi back to the palace first."
The Queen slowly stood up and said, "That's good. The roads are slippery due to the rain. I can feel more at ease if Your Majesty stays with Concubine Xi."
So the Queen and Xiao Cheng'an stood up to see him off respectfully.
Liu Yuetang moved lightly, lowered her head and followed behind Xiao Heng.
As soon as she left the Weiyang Palace, a north wind carrying frost blew in her face, causing the hairpins on her temples to tremble.
Xiao Heng took the cloak from Zhou Defu and draped it over her shoulders. As his slender fingers tied the ribbon, he said, "You've always been afraid of the cold. The weather will get even colder. Ask the palace maids to wrap you up tightly when you go out."
After tying it, he looked at Liu Yuetang's belly and said in a more serious tone, "You are pregnant now. If you catch a cold, be careful and I will punish you."
"How will Your Majesty punish me?"
Liu Yuetang pursed her lips slightly, raised her eyebrows, and her eyes moved, as if she was happy and shy.
Xiao Heng raised his bony thumb and tickled Liu Yuetang's fingertips, "What do you think?"
Liu Yuetang understood immediately, blushed, and turned her head away.
"Your Majesty...you should return to Yuegong to discuss these matters."
After saying that, Liu Yuetang had just taken half a step when Xiao Heng grabbed her wrist.
Then he stretched out his long arms and lifted her up sideways, causing her hair to sway slightly.
Liu Yuetang cried out softly, and only felt relieved when she saw that no one was around. She grabbed Xiao Heng's clothes and said, "Your Majesty, why are you hugging me at the gate of Weiyang Palace?"
"There is water on the ground. I will carry you onto the dragon chariot." Xiao Heng walked towards the dragon chariot.
Liu Yuetang slowly lowered her eyes.
It seems that what is said in the storybook is absolutely true.
When you make up after an argument, that's when a man is most considerate and gentle.
After two days, they will start to act like a slut again.
"Miaomiao...why don't you ask why I'm wearing this dress?"
While thinking about it, Xiao Heng suddenly asked.
Liu Yuetang raised her eyes and looked at him, "Is it because I said that the emperor looks good in blue and white?"
Xiao Heng smiled and nodded, and when he touched the gardenia hairpin on Liu Yuetang's bun, the smile on his lips widened a little.
"Miaomiao, I will slowly understand you, not only your preferences, but also your thoughts."
Fu Zhixing was right in saying this.
I don't know her.
Apart from knowing that she likes gardenias, the color purple, and her favorite food, I have never really understood her.
She lacked love since childhood, which led to her sensitive and soft personality today.
He wanted to heal her broken heart bit by bit.
In Weiyang Palace, the Queen stood at the window, staring blankly at the gate, where Liu Yuetang and Xiao Heng disappeared.
Fu Liu said softly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor and Concubine Xi have already left."
The Queen's eyes were filled with tears. "Fu Liu, I will never be treated as tenderly by the Emperor as Concubine Xi was in my lifetime."
"Your Majesty..." Fu Liu stroked the Queen's arm.
"Your Majesty, please don't be too sad. Concubine Xi will be the next Concubine Zhao."
"No..." The queen took a deep breath and raised her eyes to force the tears back.
"Concubine Xi is so favored now, and everyone is filled with envy and jealousy, but who knows the bitterness and hardship behind it?"
"Although she was somewhat calculating, she also went through many hardships before replacing Concubine Zhao. I am not jealous of her, I just... I think I am ridiculous."
She was ridiculous. Although she was the queen, she had never received a moment of true love from Xiao Heng.
The queen curled her lips sadly.
Fu Liu thought of the past and said angrily, "It's all Concubine Zhao's fault. If it weren't for her, the Emperor wouldn't have treated you like this..."
"Okay...it's all old stuff, why bring it up again." The queen interrupted Fu Liu, regained her usual dignity and calmness, turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
That’s all…
Everyone has their own preferences, and nothing can be perfect.
Don't force what you can't get.
Hold on to what you have obtained.
The next day, Zhongcui Palace, Yufu Hall.
"My lady, I have found out that Madam Kong is from Sangnan Country."
Su Nanqing's stagnant eyes suddenly widened, and she put down the teacup in her hand: "It's really her! It really is Concubine Zhao!"
Taxue asked anxiously, "Then my lady...are we going to the Imperial Court now?"
Su Nanqing clenched his fists and paced back and forth in the hall.
After pondering for a long time, she slowly said, "Based on just a handkerchief, I'm afraid Concubine Zhao and Madam Kong won't admit it."
"I need to think about how to question them."
