Chapter 135 Promotion and Title
The Queen Mother sighed and waved her hand with a vicissitudes of life: "All of you step back, I am a little tired."
Zhan Jingxuan then led everyone out respectfully.
Tang Xiluo pursed her lips. She and that bastard had not even consummated their marriage, so where did the child come from? However, the Queen Mother did indeed plant spies in the palace.
After leaving the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace, Zhan Jingxuan began to laugh unscrupulously.
"Hahahaha! Brother, you and your sister-in-law have to work harder. Look how disappointed our mother is."
Zhan Jingchen glared back at him: "I only have one wife, and the emperor has many beauties in his harem, so why haven't you heard any good news?"
Zhan Jingxuan immediately performed a smile disappearing technique.
Zhan Jingchen continued his verbal attack: "I have only been married for half a year, so it is normal for me to have no children. But the emperor has been taking concubines for many years, why don't he have any children?"
The corners of Zhan Jingxuan's mouth began to turn downwards. If he had known this earlier, he would not have provoked his royal brother.
"…If I have half an heir, I'm afraid it will scare you, my brother."
Zhan Jingchen snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense and arrange for someone to check the Imperial Hospital."
Zhan Jingxuan immediately became serious: "That's exactly what I meant."
Tang Xiluo raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the two of them were not stupid. Instead, the person who drugged them was a little stupid.
Tang Xirou had just entered the harem, so how could she know about these secret twists and turns? She listened to them discussing the Imperial Hospital with a puzzled look on her face. What was wrong with the Imperial Hospital? Didn’t the five imperial doctors say the same thing?
Zhan Jingchen held Tang Xiluo's hand and said, "Let's go back home."
Tang Xiluo nodded, then looked at Tang Xirou.
"Sister, I will come to see you next time when I have the chance. Please take care of yourself."
Tang Xirou's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded: "Sister, you too, take care of yourself and don't worry about your sister."
Zhan Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "If the emperor's sister-in-law wants to enter the palace, just come in directly. There is no need to look for any opportunity."
Tang Xiluo nodded and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tang Xirou also bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the two left, Tang Xirou still looked at her sister's back with some reluctance.
Zhan Jingxuan laughed: "Don't look, they have already gone far away."
Tang Xirou was a little shy: "I'm sorry to make the emperor laugh at me."
"How could I laugh at you? It is normal for people to miss their families. Otherwise, wouldn't that make you a cold-blooded person?"
Tang Xirou smiled and nodded in agreement with him.
Zhan Jingxuan looked at her shy and distant appearance, feeling helpless but unable to do anything. He could only take it slow and not be impatient.
"I'll have someone send you back in a sedan chair." He wanted to walk with her for a while, but there was a thick stack of memorials in the imperial study.
Tang Xirou was startled and quickly refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I'm a little full from what I just ate, so I'd better walk back and digest the food."
Sedan chairs were only used by concubines and above. How could a mere maid like herself dare to use one? Even if the emperor made an exception, she would not dare to do so, otherwise she would be the target of all the concubines in the harem the next day.
Zhan Jingxuan no longer insisted and nodded: "Then I will have someone send you back, be careful when you go back."
Tang Xirou returned to Yaxiu Palace and finally took off her disguise. She was a little scared and a little helpless. The Queen Mother didn't like her, and the Emperor would feel embarrassed...
Caiwei looked at her mistress's sad face and couldn't help but worry. She stepped forward to comfort her: "My mistress, in my opinion, the emperor has you in his heart."
Tang Xirou was stunned for a moment: "There are so many concubines in the harem, how dare I ask for anything?" She would be satisfied even if she could only look at him from a distance.
Caiwei sighed helplessly. The young lady had been oppressed since she was a child in the general's mansion, and had developed this cautious character. She felt heartbroken seeing this, but she was just a servant and could not help at all. She could only try her best to enlighten the young lady.
The two had just chatted for a while when the voice of the eunuch was heard in the yard.
Then a little maid hurried in: "My lady, the emperor's decree has arrived."
Tang Xirou was stunned for a moment, then hurried out of the yard to receive the order.
After returning to the house, I still haven't come back to my senses.
She was promoted to a higher position and even had a title! She had only been in the palace for less than a month, but she was promoted from Changzai to Xiaoyi, and was given the title Wen.
"Congratulations, my lady! Congratulations, my lady!"
Tang Xirou reacted and raised the corners of her lips: "Everyone in Yaxiu Palace appreciates it."
Everyone became even happier when they heard this.
Tang Xirou was happy but also a little worried. She had just gotten familiar with the Yaxiu Palace, and now she was moving away again. Not only would she be closer to the emperor, but she would also be closer to the concubines in the harem. Her future life might not be as peaceful as it is now...
"After moving out of Yaxiu Palace, you need to be more careful about your words and actions."
"Yes!"
……
Inside the palace.
Tang Xiluo followed the man all the way to the study.
Zhan Jingchen turned around and stared at her in surprise. She would never come to the study if she had nothing to do.
Tang Xiluo was thinking about something and didn't notice that the man in front of him stopped.
So we bumped into each other.
Zhan Jingchen subconsciously stretched out his arms to embrace her, his tone a little panicked and worried, and a little like an elder admonishing: "Be careful when you walk."
Tang Xiluo retorted angrily: "You were walking along and suddenly stopped. Why don't you go in? What are you doing standing at the door?"
Zhan Jingchen had no choice but to move aside and let her go in first, and he followed behind her like a guard protecting her safety.
He even thoughtfully closed the study door.
"What advice do you have, Princess?"
He walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down, looking at her with raised eyebrows.
Tang Xiluo had nothing to be shy about and sat down on another chair in a familiar manner.
"There's something wrong with the medicine the Queen Mother drank."
Zhan Jingchen's expression immediately turned serious: "How did you know?"
Tang Xiluo shrugged his shoulders and said in a very arrogant tone: "I can even tell at a glance that your poison is so rare, how can I not tell that a bowl of problematic medicinal food is problematic?"
Zhan Jingchen nodded: "Xuan'er has sent people to check the Imperial Hospital... Do you have a way to detoxify?"
Tang Xiluo shook his head.
But it scared the man and his tone became panicked.
"There is no antidote for this poison?! How is this possible?" There must be such a strong poison in the harem?
Tang Xiluo was speechless: "I'm not saying that this poison has no antidote, but there is no poison in the medicinal food!"
The man breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why is this?"
"Although there is no poison added to the medicinal food, you know the principle that medicine is three-quarters poison, right? This medicinal food is too strong and a bit too much. The Queen Mother's body can't bear it. The reason why she feels more energetic after drinking it is just that she is over-consuming herself."
