Chapter 540 Is it Concubine Zhuang’s turn to make decisions on palace affairs?
I saw Hao Ting climbing up the beauty bench, stepping on the railing of the beauty bench and trying to reach the pink and white camellia that was in full bloom not far away.
The child's head was heavy, and as soon as Hao Ting leaned forward, his head fell down.
The beauty's pavilion is already quite high, and the ground outside the pavilion is much lower than the pavilion. If someone falls down, it will be terrible.
"Young Master!"
Jinshu screamed in fright.
"Hao Ting!"
Song Yuntang also stood up hurriedly, and the teacup in front of her was knocked over by her.
Xia Ning reacted the fastest. He strode forward, grabbed his clothes, and lifted him off the beauty's bed.
She was also a little scared.
"Young Master, it's too dangerous for you to do this."
Song Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to check on Hao Ting, and seeing that he was fine, he hugged him in his arms.
"Haoting, you can't climb that high anymore. If you fall down, you will get hurt. If Haoting gets hurt, mother will be very distressed."
Hao Ting wrinkled his nose, gently pushed Song Yuntang away, and pointed at the camellia flower.
"Pretty flower, for mother."
Although the child speaks with a baby voice, his pronunciation is very clear.
Song Yuntang looked back. The pink and white camellia flowers looked dreamy, graceful and charming in the sunlight. She turned around and rubbed Hao Ting's little head with a smile.
"Thank you Hao Ting for thinking of mother, but if Hao Ting wants to pick flowers, just tell Aunt Xia Ning. Don't try to be stubborn in the future, understand?"
Hao Ting nodded.
"good."
Xia Ning smiled, reached out to pick the flower and handed it towards Hao Ting.
“Yes.”
Hao Ting took it with joy and raised his hand to pin the flower in Song Yuntang's hair.
But the child was too young and not strong enough, and he failed to insert the flower into the bun after several attempts. Seeing this, Jinshu hurried forward.
"Young Master, please let this servant do it."
Hao Ting nodded and handed the flowers to her.
After Jinshu pinned the camellia, Song Yuntang raised his hand and touched the camellia on the side of his hair, smiling at Hao Ting.
“Does it look good?”
The little one clapped his hands excitedly, and the flesh on his face trembled.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Dad will definitely like it when he sees it.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded not far away.
"Hao Ting!"
Hearing someone calling his son, Song Yuntang looked up and saw Li Xian walking towards him not far away.
"Xi'an is here."
Immediately afterwards, Li Junyao and another prince appeared in her sight.
I have seen the prince Song Yuntang beside the emperor. He is the eldest son of the current queen.
She didn't expect that the emperor would come back today, so she hurriedly stood up and pulled her son to pay his respects.
Li Junyao raised his hand.
"I came here incognito today because I don't want to cause a sensation. There is no need for you to be polite, County Lady."
Just as I went up the mountain, I heard the exclamation and then noticed this pavilion.
As I got closer, I saw Song Yuntang squatting in front of a little boy, patiently talking to him. The sunlight shone on her through the gaps between the pavilion and the camellia flowers, and her whole body radiated a soft glow.
As soon as Li Junyao finished speaking, he saw several palace maids dressed as ordinary maids and several guards in black surrounding the entrance of the pavilion.
The queen stepped forward and drew aside the curtain covering her face.
Look up.
I just felt that Song Yuntang's lotus-colored embroidered long skirt and the pink and white camellia flowers on her temples complemented each other perfectly.
She is indeed a woman more beautiful than flowers.
She is so beautiful and charming. I think Lord Xu is very good to her as the rumors say.
Otherwise, no matter how young a woman is, her complexion will not be as good as hers if her husband is not considerate.
"Le'an County Princess' Wangxu Villa has become very famous recently. I have heard about it in the palace. I came here with Your Majesty today to take a look. It is indeed worthy of its reputation."
Song Yuntang bowed with a smile.
"Greetings, Her Majesty. Your Majesty is so kind. Today is the opening day of Wangxu Villa. Your Majesty and Her Majesty are here, which makes the villa glorious."
He turned to look at his son beside him.
"Hao Ting, come and greet me."
Hao Ting held his little fist and saluted to the emperor and empress in a proper manner.
The emperor and empress were both surprised to see that this little kid who was only as tall as their knees could be so considerate in observing the etiquette.
"Your Majesty, look at this child, he is so cute." said the queen with a smile.
Li Junyao nodded.
"The county lady and Lord Xu have taught their children well. The young master will surely be an outstanding person in the future."
Song Yuntang bowed again.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
Li Xi'an stepped forward and picked up Hao Ting.
"Do you still remember Brother Xi'an?"
He had been back in the palace for three months and had been out of the palace to visit Xu's residence twice. Hao Ting had an impression of him, so he didn't mind his closeness.
"elder brother."
Li Xi'an was delighted and reached out to pinch his little face.
"Hao Ting is so good."
Not far away, Zhuang Zihan looked at this scene and felt it was ironic.
"The eldest prince is the blood of the late queen and His Majesty. He is extremely noble, but not everyone is qualified to call him brother."
Li Xi'an looked in the direction of the voice.
A change from his usual gentle and polite demeanor.
"This prince is happy with it, and my father and mother have no objection, but Concubine Zhuang is not happy with it?" He said, his voice cold, "Now the affairs of the palace have to bypass my father and mother and let Concubine Zhuang make the decision?"
How could Zhuang Zihan bear such a big hat?
She was startled and quickly knelt down in front of the emperor and the empress.
"Your Majesty and the Queen, please understand that I have no intention of interfering in other people's affairs."
Originally, today's outing was intended to relax the body and mind, and the reason Zhuang Zihan was allowed to come along was only for her father's sake.
The war in the western border would not have been able to hold out until now if the Princess of Le'an County had not sent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and food in succession. Now the emperor has to give Song Yuntang some face and keep the purse. Zhuang Zihan, a noble lady, actually dares to speak so shamelessly here, bypassing the empress and the imperial concubine.
The emperor felt that this noble lady Zhuang was not only a spoilsport, but also extremely tactless.
"Lady Zhuang, since you feel that Wangxu Villa is not to your liking, please return to the palace first."
Zhuang Zihan became even more panicked.
She was conferred the title of noble lady before she even entered the palace. She was extremely popular for a while, and all the noble ladies in the palace tried to please her one after another.
Many concubines in the palace wanted to go out of the palace today but did not have such an opportunity. However, she was taken out by His Majesty, which shows that His Majesty cares about her.
Who would have thought that he would drive himself back to the palace just for that little bastard Song Yuntang.
Why?
If this gets out, how will people in Beijing laugh at her?
Maybe those little bitches who didn't get the chance to leave the palace would be pointing fingers behind my back.
No, she couldn't go back like this.
"His Majesty……"
Zhuang Zihan wanted to plead for mercy, but before she could say anything, she heard Li Junyao's voice, which had already lost his patience.
"Fan Chihai!"
Eunuch Fan, who had been waiting leisurely on the side, suddenly trembled and quickly made a gesture to invite people to go down the mountain.
"I hope that Lady Zhuang will not embarrass me. Please."
Zhuang Zihan stood up and saw that the emperor didn't even look at her. She glared at Song Yuntang and Hao Ting hatefully, then stomped her feet in anger and led her personal maid down the mountain.
