After leaving Zhaoyang Palace, Qi glanced at Xia behind her and snorted softly, "Sister, you are so eloquent that even I, your younger sister, am outshined."
Xia said modestly, "Sister, you're joking. I'm not as good-looking as you in terms of family background or appearance. It's natural that Liangdi favors you more."
Qi gathered her shawl and raised her eyebrows proudly. "Although you gave birth to the eldest daughter, you are a palace maid after all. Although I call you sister, you must remember your own identity."
"Yes, I've made note of it."
"Hmph, let's go."
Qi took the hand of the maid and left arrogantly. Xia kept bowing until the group of people disappeared from her sight, then she slowly stood up.
Chun Xiao, Xia's maidservant, spat fiercely in the direction Qi was leaving. "Bah! What a jerk! You're the young princess's biological mother after all, and how dare she be so arrogant to you?"
"Although I gave birth to Yan'er, her status is there. She is the daughter of an official, so she naturally has the capital."
"But after all, you have served the Crown Prince for many years. Even the Crown Princess has been polite to you. What does her little instruction mean?"
Xia turned her head and glanced at Chunxiao, who immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake, "My humble servant has spoken out of turn. Please forgive me, Master."
"It's good that you know. If you dare to talk nonsense again next time, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between master and servant."
"Yes, I will never dare to do that again."
After Zhao Yuancheng saw the Crown Princess, he immediately went to Zhaohui Palace.
When Gao learned that the prince was coming, she immediately dressed up and waited in the corridor.
Seeing the sedan chair slowly approaching, Gao immediately went to greet it, "I pay my respects to the Crown Prince."
"Get up." Zhao Yuancheng got out of the sedan chair and raised his hand to help the man up. "It's cold, why did you come out?"
Gao came forward and took Zhao Yuancheng's arm, her almond eyes full of tenderness, "It's been a long time since you came to my place. I really miss you, Your Highness."
Zhao Yuancheng pulled Gao into the house and explained, "I've been busy with government affairs these past few days, and I'm sorry I've wronged you."
After the two entered the house, Gao personally helped Zhao Yuancheng wash his face. It was noon, and the head maid Shu Qing came forward to ask if he wanted to have dinner.
Zhao Yuancheng nodded and said, "Go ahead. I'm really hungry."
Shu Qing took the order and went out. Not long after, she saw the door curtain being lifted and the palace maids came in one after another carrying all kinds of delicacies. Although there were many people, there was not a sound.
As Zhao Yuancheng's concubine, Gao was not allowed to sit at the table with Zhao Yuancheng according to the rules and could only stand and serve.
But Zhao Yuancheng seemed to be in a good mood today. He raised his hand towards the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down. Let the servants serve you."
"Yes, thank you for your grace, Your Highness."
Gao took the table and placed a piece of fish in Zhao Yuancheng's bowl. She asked tentatively, "I heard that His Highness just met Sister Fu?"
Zhao Yuancheng ate his meal leisurely, "Well, she went to pay her respects to the Crown Princess, and we happened to meet."
"In that case, Sister Fu's injury should be healed." Gao put down her chopsticks, her expression sad. "I was impulsive that day. Fortunately, God has blessed Sister Fu with her health. Otherwise, I would never be able to rest in peace."
Zhao Yuancheng's expression remained calm. "She offended you that day, so you should have punished her. However, she is, after all, a concubine given to me by my mother. If anything were to happen to her, my mother would have a hard time explaining it to her."
A dark light flashed across Gao's eyes, but she said, "Your Highness is teaching me a lesson. I know I was wrong."
Zhao Yuancheng looked up at her and continued, "I heard during court today that your father is not feeling well. I have just sent medicine to him. When the weather warms up next spring, I will inform the Queen Mother and have her summoned to the palace."
"Really?" Gao was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately stood up and knelt at Zhao Yuancheng's feet. "Thank you very much for your grace, Your Highness."
"Get up."
Because her mother was going to enter the palace, Gao's previous unhappiness immediately disappeared.
Gao turned around and told Shuqing, "Go to the warehouse and find the old mountain ginseng that my father sent me a few days ago, and send it to Yunyan Pavilion later."
"yes."
Shu Qing was about to leave when Zhao Yuancheng stopped her, "Zhu Yu, go there yourself."
"Yes, I will go right away."
Zhu Yu brought the things to Yunyan Pavilion, and Fu Qianyu happened to be having a meal there.
Looking at the dish and soup on the table, Zhu Yu frowned calmly, "This servant greets Fu Chenghui."
Fu Qianyu smiled faintly: "Sir, please don't be polite. Why are you here at this hour?"
Zhu Yu said politely, "In reply to Cheng Hui, I am here to deliver something to you under the order of the emperor."
Lingyun stepped forward to take it and placed it in front of Fu Qianyu.
Zhu Yu said, "This is a gift from Gao Liangdi. It's perfect for replenishing your energy and strengthening your body."
"Is Your Highness at Sister Gao's place right now?"
"yes."
"In that case, it's not convenient for me to go there in person to express my gratitude. Please ask Father-in-law to thank Sister Gao for her kindness on my behalf."
"Of course." Zhu Yu bowed. "If you have no further instructions, I will take my leave."
"Lingyun, escort the eunuch out properly."
Watching Zhu Yu leave, Peirong looked at the ginseng with rage, "This Gao secretly ordered people to treat you poorly, and then pretended to be virtuous in front of the prince. It's really disgusting."
Ever since the Crown Princess became pregnant, all affairs of the Eastern Palace have been handled by Gao.
The original owner had offended her, so how could he have a good life?
"Master, I will throw the things away right away so you don't get upset when you see them."
"Why throw it away?" Fu Qianyu stopped him with a smile, "This is a good thing. Since Gao gave it to me, I naturally can't waste it."
