Chapter 7 Sixth Princess Zhao Xihe
After dinner, Emperor Jingyuan took Xihe to the garden for a few laps to help digest the food, and then came back to feed the little girl medicine.
External injuries are easier to heal, but internal injuries are not easy to heal.
The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician was bitter, and the little girl was delicate. Without him watching over her, the palace maids were no match for the little girl and didn't even realize the medicine had been spilled.
"Little Six, be good and drink another sip."
Emperor Jingyuan held the bowl, blew on it, and passed it to his little daughter's mouth.
Xihe kept shaking her head, "No, no, it's bitter, so bitter, the doctor is so bad!"
"No! The disease can only be cured after taking the medicine." Emperor Jingyuan's face suddenly darkened.
You can indulge your child in everything, but never joke about his or her body.
As soon as Emperor Jingyuan frowned, his nature as a tyrant was exposed.
Xihe's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears began to fall. "Wow, Daddy is so bad! Xiaoliu doesn't want Daddy anymore! Wuuuuuuuuuuuuu."
Emperor Jingyuan was at a loss for words. He immediately put down the medicine and comforted Xihe, "Okay, okay, I won't drink it."
Sanping stepped forward in response, "Your Majesty, what about this medicine?"
Emperor Jingyuan glanced at the black medicine, then looked at his crying little daughter in his arms, and said coldly: "A bunch of useless people, tell the Imperial Hospital to make the medicine drinkable, otherwise they will all be killed!"
"I understand."
Sanping retreated with the medicine bowl in his hand, looking extremely embarrassed.
This medicine doesn't taste good at all.
Forget it, let those people in the Imperial Hospital worry about it.
Emperor Jingyuan coaxed Xihe for a full quarter of an hour before she calmed down. His strict fatherly demeanor collapsed in just a few seconds.
It’s better not to be decent.
Not long after, a servant came to report that Concubine Chen wanted to see her.
"Let the concubine come in."
When Concubine Chen entered the room, she saw Emperor Jingyuan teasing a little girl. Whose child was this?
"Your Majesty, I have seen you."
Zhao Xihe followed the crowd's gaze, his eyes suddenly widened, his lips slightly opened and closed, and he whispered two words, "Beauty!"
Concubine Chen was lazily and contented, her chin propped up by her hand. Her beautiful eyes were raised, her eyebrows were curved, her lips were red and her teeth were white. A faint smile appeared on her fair cheeks. She looked at the silly Zhao Xihe and couldn't help but chuckled, "Your Majesty, what is this?"
Emperor Jingyuan naturally noticed the infatuated look in his little princess' eyes and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, "You, you can't even walk after seeing such a beautiful woman."
"Daddy, who is this beautiful sister?"
Emperor Jingyuan almost burst out laughing, "Silly girl, how can you call her sister? You should call her Empress Chen."
Concubine Chen raised her beautiful eyes, not looking frightened at all.
There are only two princesses in the palace, besides the fourth princess, there is only the one in the cold palace.
Xihe stared at Concubine Chen without blinking, struggled for a few times, and then jumped out of Emperor Jingyuan's arms. She ran to Concubine Chen, opened her arms, and begged for a hug, "My beautiful lady, hug me~"
The smile on Concubine Chen's face became even wider. She glanced at the somewhat depressed Emperor Jingyuan, and picked up Xihe with a smile.
"Kid, what did you just say about me?" Concubine Chen covered her lips and chuckled, with a look of pride on her face.
"My beauty, you are so beautiful." Xihe looked at Concubine Chen infatuatedly, with her arms tightly wrapped around her neck. "My beauty, you are as beautiful as a fairy. Xiaoliu likes you so much."
"You little girl just said that you loved daddy the most, how come you changed your mind so quickly?" Emperor Jingyuan gave you a funny look.
"Your Majesty, why are you still arguing with the child?" Concubine Chen was a very sensible person. She knew what to say and what not to say. A few jokes would not only not anger Emperor Jingyuan, but would allow him to enjoy this family happiness.
Concubine Chen seemed very happy and changed to a more comfortable position to hold Xihe. "The little girl has good taste."
Xihe put his arms around Concubine Chen's neck, leaned in close, and kissed her, which made Concubine Chen stunned for a moment.
Emperor Jingyuan suddenly felt jealous. It seemed like he was the one who brought the child back, so how come the child was abducted by Concubine Chen so soon?
"Come, let daddy hold you." Emperor Jingyuan would never admit that he was jealous.
Xihe pondered for a while, thinking of her strong backer, and then she obediently jumped into Emperor Jingyuan's arms, calling him "Daddy" softly, with admiration on her face.
"Your Majesty, what is this child's name?"
Xihe gave Concubine Chen a sweet smile, "My beautiful lady, my name is Xiaoliu."
"Xiaoliu?"
What kind of name is that?
Concubine Chen and Emperor Jingyuan looked at each other, both with dark eyes.
Xihe was too young to understand, but Emperor Jingyuan and Consort Chen were no fools. This child probably didn't have a name, and the order of birth was used for the sake of address.
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, give the child a name?" Although Concubine Cheng was a worthless person, the child was innocent after all. Moreover, Concubine Chen really liked this chubby child.
Emperor Jingyuan glanced at Concubine Chen without saying a word, but his eyes never left the little kid who was busy eating snacks. It seemed that nothing could bother her, and being with her would make him feel much better.
Like... like the sun?
"Let's call her Xihe, Sixth Princess Zhao Xihe."
Xihe was suddenly stunned, and when she looked up, she met Emperor Jingyuan's indifferent eyes.
Xihe, Zhao Xihe, she was also called Xihe when she was in the spiritual world.
"Thank you, Daddy. Little Six has a name now." Xihe was very happy. Her big eyes narrowed with smile. She came forward and kissed Emperor Jingyuan. "Xihe loves Daddy the most."
Emperor Jingyuan burst into laughter. "Okay, my little Princess Xihe, come here. Daddy will teach you how to write your own name."
Emperor Jingyuan had someone spread out rice paper and taught Xihe how to write his name stroke by stroke.
Before long, the news that the Sixth Princess was given a name spread throughout the six palaces, but soon after, some bad rumors appeared in the palace. Some palace people began to whisper that the Sixth Princess was a disaster star. At first, there were only one or two people, but gradually, more and more people said it, and the rumor became more and more serious, but no one dared to say anything in front of Emperor Jingyuan.
Emperor Jingyuan was reluctant to let his youngest daughter return to the cold palace, fearing that the crazy woman would abuse the child again. However, he could not bear his youngest daughter's repeated pleas and promised to return several times, and finally agreed.
The palace servant escorted the little princess to the gate of the cold palace and then took her leave. As soon as she reached the gate, she saw her mother, whom she had not seen for many days, with a rare smile on her face, as if she was seeing Emperor Jingyuan's people sending her back, and her smile became even wider.
"Oh, our Xiaoliu has grown up and has won the favor of His Majesty. He can even live in Yuanyang Palace. Which prince or princess can have such an honor as our Xiaoliu?"
Ever since she learned that her daughter had been given a name, Concubine Cheng was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. For the first time, she felt that her daughter was still somewhat useful, so she hurried to the door to greet them. If she met someone from Emperor Jingyuan, it would show her motherly love.
As expected, after a few words of feigned concern, his true intentions were exposed. "Has Xiaoliu mentioned Mother to your father? Has His Majesty said when Mother will be summoned?"
"Mother, what are you talking about? Xihe doesn't understand." Xihe blinked at Concubine Cheng with an innocent look on her face, as if she really didn't understand what Concubine Cheng was saying.
Lady Cheng's expression suddenly changed, and she reached out and pushed Xihe down. "You ungrateful bastard! Your mother has worked so hard to raise you, and yet you don't even plan anything for me. What use is there to you? You're just a piece of trash."
Yun Hui hurried over to help Xihe up, "Master, the little princess is still young and can't stand this."
Unexpectedly, Lady Cheng flew into a rage and slapped Yun Hui in the face. "Bitch, I think it was you who instigated Xiao Liu to leave me."
"Come here, beat this ignorant palace maid to death."
"No! You can't hit Sister Yunhui!" Xihe's small body blocked in front of Yunhui, her lower lip tightly pursed, her face full of fear, but she still refused to move away.
Although Xihe had regained some energy after being cared for by Emperor Jingyuan for a few days, he was still weak. His small face was flushed red as he stared at Cheng Meiren intently. He had some of Emperor Jingyuan's aura, which made the people around him dare not move.
Two people were standing in the shadow outside the door, their faces obscured by the long branches.
"Sir, should we..."
The man behind the tree pursed his lips, as if deep in thought. "Go and report to His Majesty."
