Donggong Zhangjiao

Zhongcui Palace.

After the queen became pregnant, Concubine Yang had been irritable for several days.

Especially after the queen became pregnant, Pei Yao went to Jiaofang Palace to see the queen during the day for three days in a row, and then stayed with Fang Yun.

This gave Concubine Yang the feeling that the Queen and Fang Yun had taken all the benefits and limelight.

"Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine." The little palace maid came in carrying a tray.

After Si Qi took it, he waved his hand to tell her to leave, and then brought the medicine to Concubine Yang.

"My dear, drink it while it's hot. The medicine will be more bitter when it's cold."

"I don't know how much I have drunk this kind of medicine. No matter how painful it is, it will be so painful." Concubine Yang took the medicine bowl with a look of irritation on her face, "No matter how well my body is nursed back to health, the Emperor will not come. Everything is in vain.”

Having said this, Concubine Yang said no more, raised her head and drank the medicine.

He put the medicine bowl back on the tray, pinched a candied fruit from the plate and put it into his mouth before asking again.

"How are the preparations going with the Third Prince?"

"My servant went to see it this morning. It's almost done. The third prince is smart and remembers it very well."

Si Qi put away the medicine bowl, poured a cup of tea, put it in Concubine Yang's hand, and answered in a low voice.

Hearing this, Concubine Yang's face showed a little satisfaction.

Then he narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

"The weather should be good in the next few days. Keep an eye on the emperor's movements carefully, and ask the people below to be smarter."

"Yes, the servant knows."

Si Qi nodded.

And the good opportunity that Concubine Yang said came relatively quickly.

Two days later, it was a cool and windy day.

After the smart little eunuch in Zhongcui Palace ran in and out several times, in the afternoon, the third prince was led by the wet nurse maids, took the kite, and flew it to the imperial garden.

Pei Yao had finished approving the papers and was heading to the harem.

The direction is exactly Yuzhang Palace.

However, when passing the Imperial Garden, I saw a group of people flying kites in the distance, and I couldn't help but stop and take a look.

"This season is not the time to fly kites." Hong Zheng said.

Well, it’s all about flying kites in spring.

Pei Yao raised his eyes, "It looks like a child playing."

Because the shape of the kite is a very cute little eagle.

Hong Zheng squinted his eyes, but he was short-sighted and couldn't see clearly from such a distance, he just said.

"I'm afraid it's not one of the princes or the second princess who is playing. Does your Majesty want to take a look?"

Just as he was talking, he saw the kite floating towards Fang Yun where Pei Yao was, and then he saw a small figure running crookedly this way.

Taking a closer look, it was the third prince.

The wet nurses and maids from behind followed closely. When they saw Pei Yao, they quickly saluted.

"No need." Pei Yao waved his hand and turned his gaze to his son, "An'er, where is your mother and concubine?"

The third prince looked up at him, holding his little hands behind his back a little awkwardly, and whispered.

"The mother-in-law is making a new kite for her son in the palace."

"Oh?" Pei Yao raised his eyebrows, leaned over and raised his hand to touch his head, "Did your mother-in-law also make this kite?"

Probably because he mentioned the people he liked and the things he liked, the third prince nodded happily.

"Yes!"

While talking, the kite also fell down because there was no one to control it properly.

Seeing this, the third prince was about to pick it up, but Hong Zheng went there before him.

And brought the kite he picked up in front of Pei Yao.

Pei Yao took the kite and looked at it, and saw a line of small words written on the kite. "The body grows stronger every year, and the spring grass grows every year." Pei Yao read out.

Immediately I felt a little confused, not because the short sentence was well written, but because the words didn't look so graceful, a bit like they were copied.

The third prince on the side looked at Pei Yao, seeming to see his doubts, and whispered.

"I wrote it."

"Did you write this?" Pei Yao turned and looked at him, "Can you write this?"

Are you kidding? How could such a young child write such words?

Moreover, although the handwriting is not very good, it still shows some skill, and it is definitely not something that the third prince can write.

Originally, Pei Yao was already a little unhappy at this moment.

In his opinion, Concubine Yang was teaching the third prince to lie.

But then the third prince added, "My mother-in-law held my hand and we wrote it together!"

After saying this, the dark color between Pei Yao's brows dissipated a little.

Immediately, the third prince boldly looked up at Pei Yao and said.

"Father, would you like to go see your mother and concubine with me?"

"Did An'er want to see me, or did my mother and concubine teach you to say this?" Pei Yao looked down at him and asked his tone to be as gentle as possible, "An'er is a good boy, and you are not allowed to lie."

When he said this, the third prince pursed his lips and seemed a little scared, but he still said.

"An'er wants to see the father, and the mother and concubine also want to see the father."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and gently grabbed the corner of Pei Yao's clothes, his eyes full of anticipation.

Even though Concubine Yang had 1 bad things, the child still had weight in Pei Yao's heart.

Seeing the thin and thin third prince pulling at the corner of his clothes like this, anyone who is not a father with a stone heart would not be able to help but feel soft-hearted.

While hesitating, he remembered what Fang Yun had said, pursed his lips, and bent down to hug the third prince.

"Okay, I will accompany you to see your mother and concubine."

The third prince was extremely happy, his smiling eyes were as crescent-shaped as crescent moons.

But it is unclear whether he is happy that his father is here, or whether he has completed the task assigned by his mother and concubine and is rewarded.

After the group of people turned around, in the corner of the imperial garden, a figure quickly took a small path and rushed back to Zhongcui Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has been brought back by the Third Prince, please get ready!"

Si Qi quickly walked into the house and informed him of the news.

Hearing this, Concubine Yang's eyes flashed with surprise. She quickly stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and walked to the desk to get busy.

And on the desk was a roughly completed kite, with the last few simple processes left.

Just for show, she can't really make a kite.

When Pei Yao came to Zhongcui Palace, he saw Concubine Yang acting like a loving mother making toys for her children.

As for whether you believe it or not, that's Pei Yao's business.

Anyway, Pei Yao stayed in Zhongcui Palace that day to save face.

The news naturally spread quickly throughout the harem.

The queen listened, but just indifferently.

She is now concentrating on raising her baby and doesn't want to pay attention to outside matters. As long as Concubine Yang doesn't act like a monster in front of her and compete for favors, she can ignore it.

Naturally, Fang Yun learned the news immediately.

After hearing this, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"It's hard to worry about her. At least we have kept the emperor for a while, otherwise I'm afraid she would need my help."

"There is no need for the Queen to take action. She is eager to tie the Emperor to her palace." Yan Wei curled her lips, "I didn't even look at it. At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day, she heard that the Queen was pregnant, and her face was like a scream. It’s ugly to be jealous.”

Qingrong handed scissors to Fang Yun, who was building potted plants, and hummed.

"After all, our queen is kind-hearted. See how envious she is. Give her a taste of the sweetness."
