Xiao Hanyi looked at Concubine Xian with disgust, "Why did you hit me?"
The virtuous concubine came to her senses from her shock and wanted to plead on behalf of Madam Zhao, but was scared away by Xiao Hanyi's cold eyes. He was so fierce.
"Talented Lady Guo offended me."
She whispered.
"Go back to your palace and reflect on your actions. You are not allowed to leave Funing Palace without my order." Xiao Hanyi didn't want to waste time talking to her.
The virtuous concubine didn't know why she had angered Xiao Hanyi today. She still felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to act coquettishly anymore. She decided to go back first.
She saluted Xiao Hanyi and retreated unwillingly.
Xiao Hanyi took the third princess's hand and said, "You did the right thing today. Your father will visit you often in the future. Go back."
In fact, he didn't care much about his daughter and didn't pay much attention to her. Now it seems that he was a bit derelict in his duty as a father.
Why did the little guy call her the Princess Zhenguo? Xiao Hanyi suppressed his inner doubts. There was no way to verify it now. He could only take it one step at a time. Alas, the affairs of the court were also complicated.
The third princess said happily, "Thank you, father. My mother will definitely be happy."
"Send the third princess back," Xiao Hanyi said.
The palace maids came forward and asked the third princess to leave. The third princess looked back every step of the way, reluctant to leave. She still hadn't figured out what was going on with the baby in Concubine Guo's belly. This baby said so many things, couldn't anyone else hear it?
Guo Cairen also looked at the third princess. When her eyes met the third princess's, she nodded to express her gratitude. The third princess received her message and smiled to say it was a piece of cake.
Only after the Third Princess disappeared did Xiao Hanyi temporarily get rid of his worries. He glanced at the palm print on Guo Cairen's face and said, "Come here, send a few people who know martial arts to serve Guo Cairen."
It's okay for Guo Cairen, but the child in her belly must be safe and sound, and there must be absolutely no mistakes.
"Are you stupid? My mother is just a lowly talent. Even if she had palace servants protecting her, would she dare to fight against high-ranking concubines?"
[I say you men are all pigs, but you certainly don't want to admit it. Tyrant Daddy, you have to give my mother a promotion.]
[It would be best to give her the title of Imperial Concubine. That way, only the Queen would dare to embarrass her in person. However, your Queen is known for her virtue, so she wouldn't openly embarrass my mother.]
Xiao Jiayun muttered to herself, but she also knew that the palace rules were very strict. Since the establishment of this dynasty, there had been no example of a talented woman being directly promoted to a noble concubine. Besides, her mother was not favored.
What she said just now was just talk and it was impossible to achieve. Well, she had to just endure it slowly in this palace.
But Xiao Hanyi pondered Xiao Jiayun's thoughts and felt that it made sense. It was not difficult at all; it was just a matter of a word.
"Ms. Guo, you have made great contributions by carrying the dragon fetus. In order to protect the dragon heir, you will be promoted to the rank of imperial concubine."
Xiao Hanyi's voice was still cold, but his words were very warm.
[What? What did Tyrant Daddy just say? He promoted my mother to Imperial Consort? Is this true?]
[Wow, Tyrant Daddy is so awesome, I love you so much, you are the best person in the world, you will definitely live a hundred years, no, live forever, hahahahaha]
[Huh? Why is there no sound? Mother, shouldn't you say something thankful right now? Hurry up and thank Tyrant Daddy, and run away quickly, lest he regret it.]
When Xiao Jiayun was so happy that he almost took off, Guo Xiner was stunned. What did the emperor just say? What imperial concubine? Who?
Guo Xiner's head was buzzing. She tried hard to recall what had happened in the past two days. It was like a dream. Now when she heard the emperor say that he would promote her to the rank of imperial concubine, she was sure, sure that she was in a dream.
But how could she have such a crazy dream? The number of times she met the emperor could be counted on one finger.
"Your Majesty, why don't you express your gratitude quickly?" Zhao Zhong said with a smile, "Your servant congratulates Your Majesty."
Guo Xiner finally came to her senses and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you."
This overwhelming wealth was enough to overwhelm her. A royal concubine? That was something she couldn't even imagine. Oh my God, if she told them about it, they wouldn't believe it.
Xiao Hanyi, "Get up."
He turned around and instructed Zhao Zhong, "Go and draft an edict and instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Palace Bureau to keep the etiquette simple."
[Oh my, so has my worth increased? My mother is a noble concubine, so hey, I must have been born with a noble status.]
[Tyrant Daddy, I love you, I love you, I love you so much]
Xiao Hanyi couldn't help laughing when he heard this. The servants just thought he was smiling at Concubine Guo. Now no one looked down on her anymore, because she was the apple of the emperor's eye.
"Let's go," Xiao Hanyi took Guo Xiner's hand, "to Weiyang Palace."
Guo Xiner felt like a tornado was brewing in her heart. She wanted to tell her brother to check if the ancestral grave was on fire. Well, she had to go and check it out.

On the other side, the third princess returned to Yichun Palace. Concubine Fan came forward and helped her wipe the sweat off her forehead, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? You're sweating all over."
The third princess smiled foolishly and said, "It was just two random arrows."
Fan Jieyu shook her head slightly. The third princess she gave birth to was born not to like red clothes, did not pay attention to her skirts and jewelry, and did not like poetry and women's work. She only liked riding and archery. Alas, how could she find a satisfactory prince consort in the future?
But she also let it go. As long as the third princess grew up healthy, it would be fine. Many concubines who became pregnant at the same time as her did not give birth. Thinking about it this way, she was already very lucky.
Concubine Fan had a kind look on her face as she pulled the third princess inside.
The third princess said as she walked, "The weather is so nice today, mother should also go out for a walk."
"I recited three poems yesterday, and even Madam Liu praised me."
"I practiced archery today and my shooting became more accurate."
"Zhao Ma, who was beside Concubine Xian, raised her hand to hit Concubine Guo. I thought, how can a servant hit the master in this palace? So I shot her with an arrow, which hit her right in the palm of her hand."
"Ah!" Fan Jieyu's legs went weak upon hearing this, and she almost fell. She looked at the Third Princess in horror, "What did you just say? You shot Aunt Zhao, who was beside the Concubine Xian?"
