Chapter 343 Zhao Hede 4
"The Queen Mother is right."
"Alright, I know you're smart and more resolute than your sister. Your sister has failed me with all my years of careful training and even seduced my son. You should understand what will happen to your sister when I find them."
Zhao Hede was silent for a moment, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with determination. "Hede knows that my sister has made a serious mistake, and the Queen Mother would not regret it even if she took her life. Hede also deeply hates my sister's betrayal, but, but she is my sister who depends on me for everything. I only ask the Queen Mother to spare her life, even if it means breaking her legs and destroying her appearance, and letting her serve you like a slave."
As she spoke, she kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down her face.
Fu Yao's remaining three points of doubt completely dissipated. After all, no matter how much Zhao Hede hated Zhao Feiyan's abandonment, she would probably be shaken when she suddenly heard that she was going to take her life.
"I originally planned to strangle your sister to death as soon as I caught them both, to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Fu Yao looked at the fear in Zhao Hede's eyes with satisfaction, and slowly took out the medicine pot and prescription containing Xiji Pills: "But for your sake, I am not afraid to spare her life."
"It all depends on whether you can hold on to the Sacred Heart and repay me for all these years of nurturing you."
As she spoke, she pushed the two items in front of Hede and said, "This medicine is called Huanxi Muscle Pills. With it, you can stay young forever."
Zhao Hede's eyes lit up when she heard this, revealing a hint of greed just right, which made Fu Yao even more satisfied:
"With this, I believe Hede will not let me down, right?"
"The Queen Mother is so kind, Hede has no way to repay her. If Hede is truly blessed in the future, I will surely die to repay the Queen Mother's kindness."
"My dear child, I don't need your reward. I only hope that you can become the most beautiful flower in Yongxiang, blooming forever in Yongxiang and never withering."
Fu Yao said a lot of encouraging words, which made Zhao Hede's heart burn with excitement. She could hardly wait to rush into Chang'an, the most luxurious and wealthy city in the world. Only then did she send someone to send her out with satisfaction.
Three days later, the emperor personally sent a carriage to pick her up, and Hede, who had been staying in the house, finally saw the light of day again.
Standing outside the gate of Dingtao Palace, Hede exchanged a glance with the palace maid without leaving any trace, and also noticed her slightly awkward posture.
Obviously, this palace servant who had previously been trusted by Fu Yao had successfully saved his life. As for the price...
How could a slave dare to talk about price or no price? Having been able to work by Fu Yao's side for so many years and having her trust, it was natural that he had been controlled by her.
For example, a husband who is addicted to gambling and three children who cannot live without their mother.
"Go, go to Eternal Lane, and let your glory bloom there."
Fu Yao gently raised her feather fan and brushed her shoulders. The slight tickling sensation made her heart tremble. If it were truly the ignorant and wild Hede standing there, she would probably have already given rise to boundless ambition and desire.
"Hede is gone."
Zhao Hede took a deep breath, her eyes filled with anxiety, as well as curiosity and anticipation for a new life.
She did not look back, but took a car and bid farewell to the old Dingtao and came to the brand new Yongxiang.
Wearing high wooden clogs, Hede admired the scenery along the way with curiosity.
This place was truly unique. Compared to the fresh and simple Dingtao Palace, this place was even more majestic and magnificent. The rules in the palace were even more different from those in Dingtao. Everyone held their breath and stepped carefully.
If Hede was really just an ordinary woman from a commoner background, she would sooner or later reveal her wildness and vulgarity that was out of place here.
What's more, the manners that Fu Yao had people teach them were just to please men with their gracefulness and charm. If they did so in formal occasions, they would be despised by the noble ladies in the harem.
However, when Hede blinked her eyes, she felt a sense of clear and natural agility. Although she looked at this place with curiosity, it was full of childlike pure love. When she walked, she was not as disciplined as the palace people, but had a natural and unique temperament.
“The flowers here are blooming so beautifully.”
Zhao Hede was surrounded by a sea of flowers, but the spring beauty of the garden was no match for her smile.
The girl turned her head and asked the attendant behind her with a smile: "Sir, can I pick some flowers?"
"Please, beauty."
The servant was not young anymore, and he must have seen all kinds of beauties in the palace. But he was still stunned by that smile and was slow to react. Fortunately, the new favorite did not blame him.
Zhao Hede was very clear about the lethality of her beauty in this life, so she naturally understood the reaction of this servant. After all, everyone loves beauty, and who doesn't like to look at beautiful women?
She grasped the hem of her skirt delicately, reached out and broke off a few willow vines, and then her hands flew up and down, picking flowers as she went along, occasionally weaving in various flowers and plants. Before the two palace maids following Hede could see what was going on, they saw that she had already woven an exquisite flower basket.
The people who followed couldn't help but marvel at each other's craftsmanship, but Hede looked around and was not very satisfied. She handed the flower basket to the palace maid behind her, picked up a handful of wild grass along the way, and started weaving again.
"Wow, this butterfly looks just like a real one. It's so beautiful."
A younger palace maid couldn't help but look at the straw butterfly with sparkling eyes, her love for it was beyond words.
"You like it? Then I'll give it to you."
Zhao Hede handed it over casually, and seeing that she didn't dare to take it, he simply threw it into her arms: "I just used this to practice, if you don't want it, just throw it away."
After saying this, she no longer looked at the palace maid, and as expected, she made another bigger and more beautiful butterfly and fixed it on the fullest peony in the flower basket.
When she arrived at the place, she took the flower basket from the servant who led the way, and like a nimble young deer, she ran to Liu Ao who was standing in the hall and waving to her.
"Hede pays homage to His Majesty."
Liu Ao didn't wait for her to finish her greetings before he pulled her into his arms. He was in a very good mood and said, "Come, Hede, I will show you this Zhaoyang Palace."
The two walked hand in hand into this extremely luxurious palace. The central courtyard was a crimson red, and the interior of the palace was freshly painted. The door threshold was decorated with brass and coated with gold. The stairs to the palace were made of white jade. The exposed crossbeams on the walls of the palace were decorated with gold rings and inlaid with blue jade, pearls, and emerald feathers. Its splendor and extravagance were the most magnificent among all the palaces. [1]
"How is it, do you like it?"
Zhao Ao had been paying attention to Zhao Hede's expression, but found that he could hardly see it.
There seemed to be countless stars in the girl's eyes, sparkling as she looked at her future residence with curiosity and amazement, but not as ecstatic or grateful as he had imagined.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Hede likes your gift very much."
Zhao Hede pulled him into the bedroom and handed him the flower basket she had been holding. "Hede and Your Majesty share a deep bond. You gave me a jade pendant, and I repay you with fragrant orchids. Please, Your Majesty, do not despise my craftsmanship."
Liu Ao took the flower basket she handed him, his face showing genuine fondness: "Did you make this yourself?"
"Yes, that's why I was delayed for a while."
"I will take good care of Hede's kindness."
Liu Ao hugged her gently. Although he had only met Hede twice, he felt that he had known her for a long time. Just as Hede said, they were already close friends who understood each other's minds.
