Chapter 202: Removing Huipin
Changle Palace.
After Song Zhao returned to the palace, she took the unfinished bellyband and continued to embroider it.
There are two bellybands, one in sky blue and the other in crimson red, so that no matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, both will be happy.
After a while of busy work, I heard the door of the inner bedroom being pushed open.
Song Zhao asked without even raising his head:
"Did you finish the fight?"
Yunshan nodded and said, "Your Majesty is very good at predicting things. When I delivered the gift just now, I specially carried the concubine with me before going in. As expected, when I was at the door, I heard the Mongolian woman gossiping about Your Majesty."
Song Zhao sneered, "There are many cattle and horses in Mongolia. She must have grown up eating grass. She doesn't have any brains at all."
Yunshan smiled and said, "The queen also put the handwritten letter in the jewelry box and gave it to Sister Tong."
"Yeah." Song Zhao picked up the bellyband, compared it to the sunny sun outside the window, and then said lightly:
"Go tell Zhihua that Huipin likes to play skipping rope these past two days. Huipin has an early dinner, so after she has dinner, let Zhihua take her to the backyard to have some fun."
"I understand."
After Yunshan left, Song Zhao continued embroidering for a while.
Seeing that the time indicated by the clepsydra was almost up, she put on her makeup in front of the mirror and asked the palace maids to dress her up carefully.
Huipin had dinner early, and after she rested for a while, Zhihua and Chan'er accompanied her to the backyard to play the game of turning the tumbling needle.
And now was the time for Song Zhao to have dinner.
The dishes on the table today are all sweet and sour.
Sweet and sour squirrel fish, vinegar meatballs, pickled cabbage and pork, pickled bamboo shoots...
Just smelling it makes one feel like drooling.
But Song Zhao ate with gusto.
Her taste became very strange after she became pregnant.
I don’t like sour or spicy food, I prefer bland tastes.
However, these dishes today were not originally prepared for her.
Just after taking two bites, the real owner came.
"My Zhao'er likes sour food more and more these days."
After hearing Xiao Jingheng's voice, Song Zhao was startled at first.
Looking back, he saw that everyone was already standing outside the main hall, and then he hurriedly said, "They are all confused. Why didn't they inform us that the emperor was coming?"
She stood up and wanted to greet Xiao Jingheng, but Xiao Jingheng waved at her, took two quick steps to sit beside her, and said with a smile:
"I didn't ask them to make so much noise."
"Oh." Song Zhao replied perfunctorily. He had a happy look on his face just now, but now he pouted and looked unhappy.
She didn't even look at Jamel Xiao, she just picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat her meal.
"I haven't congratulated the emperor yet, but today I have a beautiful woman."
"Tsk tsk, why is there a strong smell of jealousy in your palace? I originally thought it was because of these dishes, but now it seems that someone is jealous?"
"No." Song Zhao said somewhat arrogantly, "Why should I be jealous? Your Majesty is respected by all the people and is the best destination that all women in the world hope for. If I were to be jealous, wouldn't I be jealous to the point of being soft to the bone?"
"You still say you're not jealous?" Xiao Jingheng smiled and pulled the chopsticks out of her hand, holding her hand and covering it. "Besides, you just congratulated me on having a beautiful woman, but that's not right. The beauty is already by my side, why do I need to get another one? They are all mediocre women, and they can't be compared with my Zhao'er."
Song Zhao's fingertips gently drew circles on Xiao Jingheng's palm, and said in a charming and charming voice:
"Your Majesty is always good at making me happy. I accompanied the Queen Mother to pay homage to Buddha in the afternoon, and on the way back to the palace, I happened to pass by Jiangxue Pavilion. Seeing that the newlyweds had already moved in, I stopped by to see them.
Seeing that they are all gorgeous, I am dwarfed by them. Especially the Mongolian Ru, she is gorgeously dressed and pretty, very good."
"Oh?" Xiao Jingheng raised his voice, "I heard that she offended you today, but you still said good things about her?"
Song Zhao was startled, and hurriedly stood up, taking Yunshan, who was serving the dishes, with him to pay his respects to Xiao Jingheng.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Can you change your temper of always wanting to be blessed? If you get bumped again, do you want me to feel bad?"
Xiao Jingheng helped Song Zhao to stand up, and then raised his hand to Yunshan, telling her to stand up as well.
"I know the whole story, why are you apologizing? The Concubine has already beaten her, but she still hasn't learned her lesson. How dare you talk about you behind your back?"
He glanced at Yunshan and said approvingly:
"Your maid has done a good job. She is loyal to her master and a faithful servant."
Song Zhao knew Xiao Jingheng too well.
When a newcomer enters the palace, he will definitely find someone to keep an eye on him.
So when Song Zhao saw Runarren being so arrogant today, he did not get angry.
She knew from the beginning that the Concubine Chen must be here to establish her authority, so it was enough to let the Concubine Chen teach Ru Naren a lesson.
If Naren was punished by Concubine Chen, she would certainly complain to Song Zhao.
At this time, it would be natural to let Yunshan come out and teach the newcomers a lesson.
In the end, Song Zhao did not do anything about this matter from beginning to end. Instead, he kindly sent gifts to the new concubines in the palace.
How can I say anything bad about her?
At this moment, Song Zhao also said: "Sister Ru is a Mongolian, she is bold and outspoken, she didn't do it on purpose."
Xiao Jingheng said: "Whether it's intentional or not, my favorite concubine is not someone she can casually comment on."
Song Zhao blushed and let Xiao Jingheng move his chair closer so that they could sit side by side.
During this time, Xiao Jingheng helped Song Zhao add more dishes while saying:
"There is a new lady named Tong who has just entered the palace. She seems to have lived in your house for some time. I thought that if you have a good relationship with her, you could ask her to move in with you so that she can be your companion."
In response, although Song Zhao said "That's great", her expression did not show any joy.
Xiao Jingheng asked: "Why? Are you unhappy?"
"Not really... it's just that Sister Rong Yue is the legitimate daughter. When she lived in my mother's house, she naturally got along better with the eldest sister. Now the eldest sister..."
Xiao Jingheng knew it after hearing this.
He didn't wait for Song Zhao to finish, and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since we are just casual acquaintances, don't let her bother you."
——"It's noon and I'm hoeing the field. Sweat drips down to the ground! Oh no, that's not right! You translated it wrong! Try again~"
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the laughter of Huipin and others from the backyard.
Xiao Jingheng felt that it was a bit noisy, so he frowned and asked, "What are they making a fuss about?"
Song Zhao smiled and said, "Maybe she is playing with the flower? Sister Huipin likes these children's toys the most."
Yunshan also said, "Yes. It is hot in summer now, and mosquitoes are annoying at night and we can't sleep. Concubine Hui likes to light up the lights and play with the palace maids in the backyard, which is also lively."
After hearing this, Xiao Jingheng's face became even uglier.
"She is lively, but your mistress is pregnant and needs to rest, and you guys won't persuade her?"
Song Zhao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to bother with Sister Huipin about this. I am not in the way."
Xiao Jingheng was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I asked her to come and keep you company because I thought you would be lonely during your pregnancy and would need someone to keep you company. But now it seems that she is bothering you instead. I will tell her to move back to Zhaochun Palace tomorrow. Now that a new bride has entered the palace and she has someone to live with, she won't be so scared or pretentious anymore."
Song Zhao said: "It's not a problem, Your Majesty. I live with Concubine Hui. It's nice to chat and relieve boredom in my spare time. How about..."
Jamel Xiao held her hand again and tightened it.
"You are the most important thing, nothing else matters."
Song Zhao blushed and said, "In this case, I will be the only one left in this huge Changle Palace. If I feel bored, Your Majesty must come and accompany me more~"
"Hahaha, you're getting better at acting like a spoiled child. I will of course stay with you. My heart and body will stay with you."
Xiao Jingheng took Song Zhao into his arms.
Song Zhaoze pressed against his chest.
Yibi listened to his strong heartbeat, Yibi listened to Huibin's unbridled laughter in the backyard,
Then he laughed silently.
