The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 271 Ah Shen
"Why did you wake up? Now that you're awake, sit up and eat something." Yang Xuan was wearing a purple brocade robe embroidered with dragons and an emerald jade crown, which was so green that it was dazzling. "I asked the kitchen to make some millet porridge. Get up and have a drink." ?”

Yang Xuan helped her sit up slowly, and took a white porcelain bowl and spoon from Xiang Xia.

"Your Majesty is always busy, why come here when you have time?" Xiang Xia put a soft pillow on her waist, and Zhao Shuang leaned on it.

The sound of children running and laughing came from the door.

"A Tao is arguing to see you." Yang Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth, fed her a mouthful of porridge, and then glanced angrily at the door, "This kid runs around all day without stopping, I'm afraid He is arguing with you and younger brother, let Xiangdong and Pingfeng lead him to play in the outer hall."

"Your Majesty, should you give me a name for your brother?" Zhao Shuang's face was a little pale. Although she spoke as usual, she looked at him with a distant and indifferent look. As naughty as brother A Tao."

"Well, I thought, why not call him Yong'er?" Yang Xuan's eyes slightly curved, unable to hide his smile.

"It's not good, Yun'er and Yong'er sound too similar." Zhao Shuang lowered her eyes, was fed another mouthful of porridge, and shook her head.

Yang Xuan paused, then suppressed his smile, "Then... why not call him Xin'er, Yang Xin."

"Well, let's call it Xin'er." Zhao Shuang raised his eyes and smiled at him, "Everything is trustworthy, and good news comes frequently."

Now most of the rebellion has subsided, only a few small princes in the south of the Yangtze River are left, and sporadic battle reports come from time to time.

"Shuang'er," Yang Xuan fed her the porridge, and put the porridge bowl on the small table next to her, "When will you move back to Weiyang Palace? Let's reunite as a family."

Zhao Shuang rolled his eyes and declined, "As soon as I returned to Weiyang Palace, I remembered that my mother, queen and father all died there. I should have nightmares at night, and this Fanshuang Palace is the best."

"You plan... to live here forever?" Yang Xuan frowned slightly.

"Stay here for a while," Zhao Shuang looked at him, with a forced smile on his face, "Anyway, I'm physically inconvenient during this time, and I can't serve the emperor..."

Yang Xuan squeezed the purple robe tightly, nodded and said, "Forget it, then you can concentrate on taking care of Ah Chen."

The sun was shining outside, but the words of the two were as cold as ice and snow.After Ah Tao clamored to see his mother, Yang Xuan led him in and showed Zhao Shuang. Zhao Shuang felt tired and soon fell asleep again.

Yang Xuan took A Tao by the hand, looked at the pale face of the woman on the couch, tucked her in the quilt, and let out a long sigh.

She has always had a grudge against herself.Yang Xuan didn't even stay for lunch, so she brought Ah Tao back to Weiyang Palace.

~~
That day when Zhang Shi'er and Zhang Ruixue came to visit Fanshuang Palace, Zhao Shuang asked Nanny Chang to carry Ah Chen out.

Several people chatted and laughed around Ah Chen.

"The empress is really lucky. In a blink of an eye, I have two sons. I have this child... I don't know if it is a boy or a girl." It was Zhang Ruixue who spoke. She just found out that she was pregnant for two months, and she was very happy. Stomach touching all day long.

"It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, what's there to worry about?" Zhao Shuang put Ah Chen on the couch, teasing his little face, "You're still young, maybe you will have three or four children in the future."

"Right now, the capital is peaceful in Shangjing, and Mingjing treats me well." The smile on Zhang Ruixue's face faded, showing traces of hesitation, "If the second younger sister is also in Shangjing, I really have nothing to worry about."

Since Zhao Hongyi and Zhang Xiaoxue left Shangjing, Zhao Shuang never told anyone about their whereabouts, but asked someone to tell Zhang Shangshu and Zhang Xiaoxue that Zhang Xiaoxue was still alive.

Zhang Ruixue's question seemed to be insinuating to find out the whereabouts of Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhao Hongyi.

"Zhang Xiaoxue is not in Shangjing, so you don't have to worry." Zhao Shuang glanced out the window, "Don't worry, she is safe."

"Empress, you really don't plan to move back to Weiyang Palace?" Zhang Shi'er glanced at the baby in the swaddle, showing worry, "Even if you don't plan for yourself, you should plan for Ah Chen."

"What are your plans for Ah Chen?" Zhao Shuang smiled lightly.

"Ah Chen is almost full moon, and the emperor doesn't even have a title, and he didn't mention the full moon celebration." Zhang Shi'er smoothed her hair, covered her mouth with her hand and said in a low voice, "Ah Tao has been crowned prince a long time ago. The rewards are like flowing water. In the future, when Ah Chen grows up, if he is not close to the emperor, he may not get any rewards..."

"Zhang Shi'er, did Mao Hu ask you to be a lobbyist?" Zhao Shuang gave her a wary look.

"No, no! The concubine is really thinking about Ah Chen, that's why she said that," Zhang Shi'er hastily shook her handkerchief to deny, "Could it be that the Empress intends to let Ah Chen live in the Fanshuang Palace for the rest of his life, without receiving any rewards?" ?"

"Isn't it the same for children from ordinary families? As long as I'm with him...Ah Chen will be very happy." Zhao Shuang also frowned upon hearing this.

She didn't feel pitiful for Ah Chen at all, but felt pitiful for Ah Tao who was separated from her at birth.

"That's not the way to say it, empress, then in the future, Ah Chen will not be disappointed when he sees his elder brother wearing gold and silver, becoming an official and a nobleman... Besides, children from ordinary families at least have both parents..." Zhang Shi In the middle of speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth.

These words also spoke of Zhao Shuang's sore spot.

A month after Ah Chen was born, Yang Xuan had never entered the Fanshuang Palace except for visiting him on the day he was born, and Ah Chen had never seen his father again.

"Ah Chen is still young, so he doesn't understand these things." Zhao Shuang patted the sleeping baby lightly, "He will get used to it in the future."

"My concubine feels pitiful looking at Ah Chen. She is bare and has few treasures on her body." Zhang Ruixue glanced at Zhang Shi'er and chimed in, "A few days ago, the emperor brought A Tao to Ming's house. I looked at A Tao His whole body is shining with gold, he wears a pearl necklace around his neck, he wears three or four jade bracelets on his hands, and the big gold bracelets on his feet are dazzling..."

Yang Xuan probably put all his concern for his wife and children on A Tao, which caused the child to be covered with "jingling" ornaments before he was two years old.

"What's the good of wearing so much?" Zhao Shuang snorted disdainfully, "The child is still so young, he can't even walk well. Isn't it a burden to wear so much for him? Will he take care of the child?!"

The room was quiet for a while.

In the entire Daping Dynasty, probably only the empress empress dared to criticize the emperor.The two noble ladies heard her rebuke that the emperor would not bring up children, and they did not dare to agree, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

"What's more, my concubine heard from Ming Jing." Zhang Ruixue scratched his ears suddenly, covered his mouth with a veil, and said, "the maids around the emperor are quite young and beautiful..."

"Yes, empress," Zhang Shi'er scratched her nose, and said seriously, "I also heard Mao Hu say that now that the war has subsided, we will be peaceful all over the world, it seems... the emperor is going to choose a concubine recently, you Are you really not worried at all?"

Although they had practiced their speech a few times before coming here, Zhang Shi'er and Zhang Ruixue were really not liars, they scratched their heads when they told a lie.
