Chapter 218 Reverse Control 3
On this day, Song Zhaoyu was on his way back to the palace when he told Yunshan:
"I remember that Xiao Fuzi only brought back one basket of the Fairy Jade Girl Powder that was newly made by the Imperial Hospital, so the Empress must have taken more. Go and see how much is left, and bring it all back to us."
Yunshan did as he was told.
Not long after the things were brought back to the palace, in the evening, Concubine Yao came to Changle Palace to visit Song Zhao.
Xiao Fuzi went inside to pass on the message, but Song Zhao said:
"Just tell her that I've been feeling weak lately and have gone to bed early. If she wants to come visit me, tell her to come before noon tomorrow."
The next day before noon, Concubine Yao came again as expected.
As soon as she entered the inner bedroom, Song Zhao, who was lying on the couch, saw that she was very close to him, so he got up to greet her.
Yaopin hurried to Song Zhao's bedside and pressed her hand to signal her not to move.
"Sister, lie down quickly and don't work too hard."
Song Zhao half leaned against the head of the bed, holding hands with Concubine Yao, and smiled affectionately:
"It's so cold, why is my sister here?"
Yaopin said, "I have only visited my sister once since she gave birth, but I miss her very much. How is she doing? Is everything going well during the confinement period?"
Song Zhao nodded slightly, and Concubine Yao took out a small glazed wooden box and gave it to her.
"This is Linglong Softening Cream, which is specially used to treat sagging belly and stretch marks. You have to accept it, sister."
"How can I do this?" Song Zhao pretended to push it away. "This thing is precious. How can I accept such an expensive gift from you?"
Yaopin said hurriedly, "We have lived together since you entered the palace. Why are you being so polite to me? Are you trying to distance yourself from me?"
Song Zhao accepted the gift reluctantly, "Sister, you miss me, and I always miss the time when we lived together."
Then he waved at Yunshan and said, "Go and get the Fairy Jade Girl Powder we prepared in advance and bring it back to my sister."
Yunshan followed the order and rushed to get it.
Song Zhao took a quick look and saw a faint smile on Concubine Yao's lips.
Song Zhao said, "This thing is hard to come by in winter. I know my sister is used to it, but the Concubine always likes to monopolize everything. I was afraid that she would take it all and not share it with my sister, so I asked Yunshan to take more, originally intending to give it to my sister."
Concubine Yao had a graceful and curvy figure, but her appearance was not satisfactory, especially her face, which had many pimples and her skin was very rough.
This Fairy Jade Girl Powder was very effective in treating her skin disease. Song Zhao took all the remaining Fairy Jade Girl Powder away, because she expected that Concubine Yao would definitely come to see her.
Before Concubine Yao could speak, Song Zhao gave it to her first, and she was overjoyed.
"In that case, thank you very much, sister."
As he was talking, Xiao Fuzi knocked on the door and bowed in, bringing a bowl of tonic soup and placing it on the small table in front of the bed.
"My lady, this is the freshly cooked oyster and ginseng soup for replenishing qi. Please use it while it's hot."
As he said this, he raised his eyebrows and winked at Song Zhao.
Song Zhao then knew that Xiao Jingheng's carriage would soon arrive at Changle Palace.
At that moment, Concubine Yao was delighted to have obtained the Fairy Jade Girl Powder, and she couldn't help but say a few compliments to Song Zhao.
"My sister is now blessed with a son, and I think the decree for you to be promoted to the position of consort should be coming soon~"
Song Zhao smiled but said nothing.
She calculated the time and estimated that it was about time. She paused for a moment before saying to Concubine Yao:
"I have been in the palace for only one year, but I have already been promoted from a concubine to the head of a palace. The emperor treats me so well, and I am already satisfied. But I think... maybe there will be good news from my sister soon?"
"Me?" Concubine Yao gently stroked the pimples on her cheeks that could not be covered by powder, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said sadly: "What good news can I have? The emperor has not turned over my card for more than three months. If it goes on for a while longer, I'm afraid he will even forget about me."
Song Zhao held Concubine Yao's hand and smiled gently:
"A blessed person never cares about the length of his blessings. Sister has served the emperor for many years and has made great contributions. The emperor naturally thinks of her."
Song Zhao moved closer to her and lowered his voice deliberately.
"Sister, please believe me. My words are always accurate. Your blessing will come soon."
As she spoke, she glanced at the tightly closed bedroom door.
Whether Xiao Jingheng could hear it or not, she had to say these words.
Beautiful words, neat actions,
It's very tiring.
But Xiao Jingheng likes it.
Song Zhao had to admit that Xiao Jingheng was a very thoughtful person.
He is worthy of being an emperor, and he possesses all the qualities that an emperor should have.
Good or bad, just more or less.
But often the more meticulous a person is, the more likely he is to fall into a trap set by others without knowing it.
Smart people are always misled by their own smartness.
That's probably the reason.
——"The Emperor has arrived!"
Later, a eunuch's announcement suddenly came from outside the palace.
Almost at the same time as the voice fell, Xiao Jingheng pushed the door open and walked in.
Yaopin was very happy to see him, and immediately stood up and bowed to him.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health!"
Song Zhao also pretended to get up, but as expected, Xiao Jingheng held her shoulders.
Xiao Jingheng stood in front of the couch and casually raised his hand to ask Concubine Yao to stand up.
Then he didn't even look at her, but only looked at Song Zhao and said with a smile:
"You are busy congratulating others, how can you know that you don't have any happy events?"
Song Zhao was slightly surprised, "Now that I have Cheng Yu, there is no better happiness than this."
"When joy is doubled, it is considered great joy."
Xiao Jingheng sat on the edge of the couch, holding Song Zhao's hand tightly, looking at her, and said with deep affection:
"You have worked hard to give birth to my precious son, which is a great achievement. I want to choose an auspicious day to promote you to the position of concubine."
Hearing this, Song Zhao widened his eyes in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
Her sparkling eyes showed both surprise and fear.
Xiao Jingheng could see through her emotions intuitively and clearly.
