Empress Xian spoke softly, "Perhaps everyone's pursuits are different."
When the queen was in power, they were not allowed to give birth to princes. Now that the queen is gone and the throne has been vacant, who wouldn't want to take a chance?
Well, they don't want to anyway.
"Let's go."
Concubine Liang picked up her handkerchief and covered her mouth with it, laughing, "Now, Your Majesty can have some peace and quiet for a while."
Concubine Xian nodded, "Let's go back."
"I'm going to His Majesty's place later and play the piano for him."
Concubine Liang looked eagerly, "Sister, your music is so beautiful. Can I listen to it again tonight?"
"Of course you can." Empress Xian agreed with a smile.
"What song?" Concubine Shu was very curious.
Now that she was familiar with him, she dared to ask.
"It's the lullaby my sister played. It's so beautiful. It made me feel refreshed when I woke up." Concubine Liang took Concubine Shu's hand and said, "Come and listen to it too!"
"Mrs. Jing Jiao, come too, let's sleep together!"
Jing Jiaoniang uttered an "ah" and her pupils dilated slightly, "This..."
"Isn't that good?"
"There might be people gossiping in the palace. Will it affect you?"
"After all, I was a concubine of the Moon Kingdom..."
She was worried that if they got too close to her, Concubine Liang and the others would be hated by Emperor Dewu.
She didn't dare show that she liked them too much.
When someone is watching her, she always pays attention unconsciously.
"It's okay." Concubine Liang took her hand and said, "We don't mind."
"Don't worry about those rumors. They will die down in a few days."
"There are so many new things happening in this palace that they will soon forget them."
"Mrs. Jing Jiao, come on, come with us."
"This..." Jing Jiaoniang looked at Jing Huaian. Jing Huaian had already fallen from the high wall. He nodded slightly at her, motioning her to go.
"Okay, I'll bother you then."
Concubine Liang smiled and said, "Why are you bothering me? It would be great if Lady Jing could come and play with us!"
Concubine Liang pulled her and asked Concubine Xian and others to leave together.
Yuchi Xi also followed holding Yuchi Feng's hand.
Empress Xian played with them for a while, then asked a servant to help take the guzheng to Emperor Dewu. She asked Yuchi Xi, "Xi'er, do you want to go with mother?"
Yuchi Xi shook his head, "Mother, I won't go!"
Hehehe, we should give our parents a chance to be alone together!
Empress Xian nodded and left.
Concubine Liang stood up and said, "Hey, do you want to go and take a look together?"
Concubine Shu and Jing Jiaoniang looked at each other, and one of them took her hand and said, "Are you not going to see it?"
"Let's just play cards here."
"Yes." Jing Jiaoniang nodded, "I also feel like playing now."
Concubine Liang uttered an "ah" and felt a little disappointed, but she didn't want to leave. "Forget it, I'll stay and play with you guys."
It takes three people to play this wooden card game.
Both Concubine Shu and Jing Jiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Liang is really brave!
How dare you eavesdrop!
What would happen if Emperor Dewu knew about this?
During this period, Empress Xian would play the zither for Emperor Dewu every day and wait for him to wake up so they could have meals together. Emperor Dewu rested well and woke up earlier during the following period.
Empress Xian thought that perhaps it was because His Majesty had not been in a very good spirits recently that she was able to hypnotize him so easily and make him sleep for a long time.
Now that I'm more alert, it's not so easy to hypnotize me.
Concubine Xian silently memorized it in her heart and wrote it down after returning to her own palace.
Empress Xian recently learned a new piece of music that could control people. She played it once, but Emperor Dewu didn't feel anything.
He wasn't even hypnotized into a deep sleep.
This piece of music first makes people lose consciousness, fall asleep, and then take control.
It seems that she hasn't practiced this piece enough.
Emperor Dewu had a good rest and finished his work. Then he remembered an important thing. He wanted to choose a playmate for Xier!
Emperor Dewu asked his ministers to send him portraits of their children.
Although the ministers did not understand, they went back to find the painter and asked him to draw a portrait of all the children in his house, both sons and daughters.
After all, they didn't know what the emperor wanted to do. Maybe he wanted to choose a concubine?
As soon as these portraits were delivered, Emperor Dewu looked at them one by one in the imperial study.
When Empress Xian came, she found him picking something.
Concubine Xian bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Emperor Dewu waved his hand and said, "When you come to see me in this imperial study in the future, you don't have to perform formalities."
"You come here every day and bow every day. Don't your knees hurt?"
After a pause, Emperor Dewu suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his tone!
No, he can't say that!
Xier just reminded him!
"Well, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that I feel bad when your knee hurts."
Empress Xian:?
His Majesty……
Are you feeling unwell somewhere?
Why are you talking so strangely?
Concubine Xian couldn't figure it out, and she didn't dare to ask him directly, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?" She could only reply softly, "Yes, I understand."
"Well, come and take a look." Emperor Dewu waved at her.
Empress Xian walked over. "Hmm? These are the portraits of the noble children. What do you want to choose, Your Majesty?"
"Choose someone who stays with Xi'er."
Emperor Dewu looked at the portrait and frowned, "Why is everyone so ugly?"
"Can you help me take a look and see if there's anything good to look at?"
