Emperor Dewu was just thinking about Xi'er when a eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Xian requests an audience."
Empress Xian?
Emperor Dewu: "Let her in."
"yes."
The eunuch retreated, and soon, Empress Xian came in, followed by Qiuxiang, holding a zither.
Emperor Dewu: Yes, Empress Xian has something to ask him.
Emperor Dewu did not expose her. He looked up at her and asked, "What is it that Concubine Xian wants to see me?"
Concubine Xian placed the food box on the table and said, "I heard that Your Majesty forgot to have dinner, so I brought some food here."
"Your Majesty, take a look. Do you like it?"
"I like what my beloved concubine brought." Emperor Dewu stood up, walked to the table and sat down. Concubine Xian took out the dishes from the food box one by one and placed them in front of him.
Qiuxiang put the piano on the table beside her and quietly left.
Emperor Dewu gestured for her to sit down, "Is Concubine Xian ready for dinner?"
"I have already used it."
Empress Xian picked up a pair of chopsticks and asked, "Do you need me to help you set the table?"
Emperor Dewu: There are only a few dishes, what’s the point of serving them?
"No need."
Emperor Dewu was indeed a little hungry and ate very quickly, but his movements were still very elegant.
When Empress Xian looked at him, she finally understood why she had fallen in love with him back then. He was really handsome!
Emperor Dewu finished eating, picked up a handkerchief beside him and wiped his mouth. He looked at her and she said softly, "Your Majesty, now that you have finished eating, I will play the piano for you. Is that okay?"
"OK."
Emperor Dewu did not refuse, as he loved listening to Concubine Xian's piano playing.
Empress Xian first put away the CDs, then walked to the piano and sat down, gently stroking the surface of the piano with her bare hands, and pleasant music poured out. Emperor Dewu supported his head with one hand and gently closed his eyes.
Empress Xian finished playing a song and looked at him tenderly.
Emperor Dewu: Here she comes, she is going to make a request!
"Your Majesty, the flowers are blooming beautifully these days. I'd like to go out of the palace with Concubine Liang and the others for a stroll." Concubine Xian arched her brows, "Please allow me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Dewu: ...I thought it was a big deal.
"It's really boring for you to stay in the palace all day. If you want to go out and play, go ahead. Bring a few more guards with you."
Empress Xian was a little surprised. She didn't seem to expect that Emperor Dewu would agree so quickly, and all the plans she had prepared were useless.
Emperor Dewu: ...
"Could it be that, in your hearts, I am such an unkind person?"
Concubine Xian laughed, "How could that be?"
Thinking about it carefully, they had never made these requests before, so they just assumed in their hearts that he would not agree.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Empress Xian bowed slightly.
Emperor Dewu waved his hand and said, "Alright, go wherever you want to go."
“Safety first.”
"I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't go with you."
"Yes." Empress Xian picked up the zither, "Then I will not disturb Your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Emperor Dewu: ...Although I waved goodbye to let you go, wasn't your departure too abrupt?
Emperor Dewu was a little depressed, but soon he had no time to be depressed. He was annoyed just looking at those memorials!
Concubine Xian returned to her courtyard, where Concubine Liang was waiting, "Sister, you're back!"
"I thought you would stay at His Majesty's place today!"
"Well, what do you think? Does His Majesty agree?"
"Hey! I know this is a bit difficult! Even if His Majesty refuses, don't be sad, sister!"
Concubine Xian took her hand and squeezed it gently, "You little mouth is so chattering that you don't even give me a chance to speak."
"Your Majesty agrees."
"Your Majesty asked us to bring more guards. Safety is our top priority."
"Your Majesty is very busy, so he won't accompany us."
Concubine Liang: (ΩДΩ)Ah?
Is this a question of whether His Majesty is busy or not?!
"Your Majesty actually agreed... Oh my God..."
"As expected, having a daughter is great!!"
Concubine Liang touched Concubine Xian's belly enviously, "Sister, I really envy you!!"
"If it were me who said this, His Majesty would definitely not agree!"
Concubine Xian shook her head slightly, "Perhaps we have misunderstood Your Majesty."
"I always feel that if you go and ask His Majesty, he will give the same answer."
"Come to think of it, we've never spoken to Your Majesty about this before. We just had a feeling in our hearts that Your Majesty wouldn't agree."
Concubine Liang thought about it and said, "That's right."
"Forget it, never mind that!"
"It would be nice if I could go out and play. I'm so bored."
"Hehe, let's go sightseeing with my sisters!"
"We always wait for them to come back in the palace. Now we can leave the palace!"
Concubine Liang happily turned around and ran, then turned back after a few steps, "Sister, I'll go tell them the good news!"
"I'm going back to pack my belongings first!"
After she finished speaking, she skipped away. Dong'er bowed slightly to Concubine Liang and quickly followed her, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please slow down!"
"What if it gets bumped or bruised?"
Concubine Liang said in a delicate voice, "Oh, Dong'er, don't be nervous. It's okay. I'm used to it!"
"I'll hold up my skirt."
Empress Xian laughed, saying that Empress Liang really had the mind of a child.
The next morning, Concubine Liang came to Concubine Xian's courtyard wearing a veil hat and holding a folding fan. Dong'er and a group of palace maids followed her, carrying large and small bags.
The three concubines: ???
Concubine Shu couldn't help but ask, "Sister Concubine Liang, are you moving?"
Concubine Liang chuckled, "No! I just brought a few things with me."
