Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

The nanny looked at the expectant queen, and moved her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but seeing the smile on the queen's face, she finally couldn't bear to say it, and only responded softly: "Yes, ma'am."

Because your majesty usually doesn't need to dress up too formally when he comes over at night, so the nanny combed the queen into an elegant chignon bun, with a purple jade bud in her hair, and a few pear blossoms hanging under the tassel pendant, thin and delicate. She painted pear blossom makeup carefully, wore a lavender palace dress embroidered with small pear blossoms, and covered a white gauze skirt outside, and her actions had a certain flavor of her own.

The nurse looked at the woman in the mirror with a smile, and said softly: "The empress seldom dresses up like this, but she looks much younger when she dresses up like this, and looks much more beautiful than Concubine Shen Shu."

The queen laughed when she heard the words, and she laughed for a while, but with a bit of melancholy: "It's just better than Concubine Shen Shu, so what? Your Majesty has never seen such a stunning beauty. Concubine Xiang is the most beautiful among concubines. That appearance, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can match it. Although Princess Rui's beauty is not as good as that of Concubine Xiang, she is also much better than other people, but that temperament is something that Concubine Xiang does not have. Standing with Concubine Xiang, many people will see Concubine Xiang first, but they will stay longer on Concubine Rui."

After a long pause, the queen smiled faintly again: "But when it comes to stunning beauty, I'm afraid that in His Majesty's heart, there is only that one."

Although the queen never said who it was, the nanny understood and fell silent.

After dressing up, the empress stood up and walked into the outer hall. It was almost time for dinner, so the empress asked the nanny to take a look in the small kitchen. Xia Huanyu was coming today, so there must be no mistake of.

After dinner was ready, the queen sat in the outer hall and waited, thinking to herself, how long has it been since His Majesty has been to Weiyang Palace? a month? two months? maybe longer...

After a while, I heard a voice from outside: "Your Majesty is here..."

The queen quickly put away her thoughts, stood up, and walked to the main hall door to greet her: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty."

Xia Huanyu glanced over the queen indifferently, nodded slightly, then walked to the table and sat down: "Get flat."

The queen raised her head with a slight smile, walked to Xia Huanyu, sat down and said: "Today, a concubine asked the kitchen to prepare your majesty's favorite little sour bamboo shoots. Look at it, it suits your appetite. ?”

Xia Huanyu glanced at the food on the table, but didn't even pick up the chopsticks, and just said casually: "I just used it in Shuya Palace, you can eat it by yourself."

The queen was stunned, her face paled a little, but she was afraid that she would lose her composure in front of Xia Huanyu, so she quickly lowered her head and replied softly: "Yes."

Then he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and looked at the food on the table, picked up two chopsticks at random, and ate it without taste, then smiled and said: "Chenqie's appetite has not been very good these two days, and I don't want to eat much. The concubine was dismissed."

Xia Huanyu didn't seem to hear what the queen was saying at all, just nodded lightly, and stopped talking.

The queen put down her chopsticks and ordered people to remove all the almost untouched food from the table.

Seeing that Xia Huanyu was still sitting with an unfathomable expression on his face, the queen felt a little uneasy. She only now felt that Xia Huanyu might not be here for dinner tonight.

After running through all kinds of thoughts in her mind, the Queen slowly raised the corners of her mouth, and said softly: "Your Majesty has not been to Weiyang Palace for some time."

"En." Xia Huanyu only responded softly.

The queen tightly held the brocade handkerchief in her hand, and was silent for a while, then raised her eyes, and saw the nanny opened her mouth and said two words silently.

The queen said softly again: "Your Majesty hasn't seen Yun Xi for a long time, right? Why don't I order someone to bring Yun Xi over for His Majesty to take a look at? Yun Xi has gotten much better these days, and she has learned from Mr. That's a lot of words, he's a smart kid."

After Xia Huanyu heard the words, he raised his eyes and looked at the queen indifferently. After a long silence, he smiled coldly: "How can I hear that the queen hasn't seen the young prince for a long time? And some time ago during the Spring Festival , Wanshou Festival, all because the queen did not let Yun Xi appear."

The smile on the queen's face froze, then she smiled very quickly and said, "Yun Xi is not in good health, she has been taking medicine to recuperate..."

"Oh?" Xia Huanyu sneered, "There's no need. Since he's not in good health, there's no need to wake him up this late at night. I'm here today because I want to ask you. How warm is that?" Is Yuguo really lost?"

The queen heard the words, and the bright red Kodan suddenly pinched into the palm of her hand. After a while, the queen laughed, "Could it be that your majesty suspects that the concubine has told a lie? Logically speaking, Concubine Xiang is pregnant with your majesty's heir. The concubine should take care of it, if the Nuanyu is there, the concubine will definitely give it to Concubine Xiang. But it is really unfortunate that the Nuanyu was lost some time ago."

Seeing Xia Huanyu's indifferent expression, the queen quickly smiled again and said, "However, as far as I know, not only this concubine has Nuanyu in this harem, I remember that Concubine Shen Shu also has a piece of jade in her hand." .”

Xia Huanyu's eyes dimmed, "Concubine Shu's health is not good, and she suffered from the cold in the Wuyan Palace a few days ago, and now she is even more afraid of the cold, so keep her Nuanyu for yourself."

After a pause, Xia Huanyu said again: "I heard that you ordered someone to find the place where the lettering was carved in Jincheng a few days ago? What do you want the lettering to be for?"

The queen's heart was agitated, and she became vigilant, smiled and replied softly: "Isn't my wife's father going to be sixty soon? I think I don't have anything new to give to my father this year. Earlier, my father said that the original inkstone in his hand was given to my younger brother, and I have not found a satisfactory inkstone. The minister's wife wanted to give an inkstone to his father, but the endstone that the minister's wife wanted to make an inkstone was extremely difficult to find. I heard that many craftsmen who like to carve characters on stones may have Duanshi in their hands, so I ordered people to ask about it."

These words sound reasonable, Duan inkstone is the best inkstone, and this Duan stone is really hard to find, so there are so few Duan inkstones.

It's just that Xia Huanyu raised his eyes to look at the queen after hearing what the queen said, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, "Oh? So it really happened?"

The Empress didn't understand what Xia Huanyu meant, she looked at Xia Huanyu in a daze, and Xia Huanyu smiled, "I never knew that you ordered someone to ask about the craftsman..."\u003c
