Chapter 324 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace Gao Xiyue 14
In Yongshou Palace, Hongli held Yongjin in his arms as they practiced calligraphy, while Gao Xiyue ate grapes and watched them from the side.
Hongli looked up and saw the leisurely Gao Xiyue, and said, "Yue'er seems a bit too relaxed. It has been a long time since I heard Yue'er play the pipa, and I miss it very much. Why don't you play a piece for me to enjoy?"
Gao Xiyue looked up at Hongli and said in a sweet voice, "Your Majesty thought that since you have Consort Mei, you no longer want to hear my pipa playing."
A while ago, Mei agreed to a promotion and was promoted to the position of Mei Changzai.
"Her pipa is nowhere near as good as yours, and I can't bear to see you playing the pipa in the dead of winter."
"If you can't bear to part with me, then you can bear to part with Consort Mei."
Gao Xiyue chuckled and rolled her eyes, looking rather charming.
You can't believe everything a man says; just listen to him.
Hongli wasn't angry at her rudeness; on the contrary, he was happy that she was jealous, because it was proof that she cared about him.
The aloof and beautiful woman, as cool as the moon, only acted coquettishly and jealously for him alone, which really gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
Zhefei: I'm sorry, it's not just you.
Gao Xiyue gave Xingxuan a wink, and Xingxuan took out a pipa and handed it to Gao Xiyue.
After a quick adjustment, Gao Xiyue played "The Moon Is High," which actually suited her name quite well.
When the piece ended, Hongli smiled and praised, "After listening to Yue'er's pipa playing, no one else's music can be heard anymore."
Gao Xiyue gave a coquettish snort, "Your Majesty is always good at coaxing me."
Yongjin praised, "My mother plays the pipa the best in the world!"
Hearing her beloved son's praise, Gao Xiyue immediately beamed with joy, "My precious Yongjin, come here and let your mother hug you."
Yongjin obediently ran over and gave her mother a big hug.
Hongli sighed helplessly; the difference in praise was too great.
After paying her respects at Changchun Palace, Gao Xiyue walked with Consort Jia, since one of them lived in Qixiang Palace and the other in Yongshou Palace, and it was on their way.
Having finally learned of the Emperor's dissatisfaction, the Empress no longer forced the concubines to be frugal with her, so Consort Jia is now dressed very extravagantly.
"Consort Mei is truly blessed. She became pregnant after serving the Emperor for only half a year. If it is indeed a prince, he will be the Emperor's first son after ascending the throne. He must be very precious, right?"
Consort Jia raised a flirtatious eyebrow at Gao Xiyue, her smile radiant, "But no matter how precious she is, she can't compare to the eldest prince of the Imperial Concubine."
Gao Xiyue covered her mouth and yawned, her eyes hazy, completely unconcerned about the provocation in Consort Jia's words, "The first son after the ascension to the throne is just a title, at most he will get a little more attention from the Emperor."
"That attention is only temporary. A mother's status depends on her son, and a son's status depends on his mother. Consort Mei's status is too low. Even if she gives birth to the first son after the ascension of the throne, she won't be of much importance."
"But what if she has multiple adoptive mothers of noble birth? The Empress has privately told the concubines that Consort Mei comes from the Ulanara family."
Gao Xiyue stopped and looked at Consort Jia with a sneer, "The Empress won't let Consort Xian adopt that child, will she? Your technique of using someone else to do your dirty work is indeed quite good, but you've chosen the wrong weapon."
Consort Jia was taken aback, then smiled innocently, "This concubine doesn't understand what Your Highness is talking about. What's with the knife? This concubine is from the Yu clan, and I don't quite understand some of the words."
"Hopefully, she really doesn't understand." Withdrawing her gaze, Gao Xiyue gracefully left.
Consort Jia curtsied and watched Gao Xiyue leave. After she stood up, Zhenshu helped Consort Jia up, saying, "Your Highness, you were indeed rash. The Imperial Concubine has caused the Empress to suffer losses many times. How could she fall for your scheme?"
