After nightfall, Chu Zhao and Princess Huai'an had dinner together and asked Qingyu and Hongxiao to arrange accommodation for her.
Princess Huai'an had the most delicious meal in her life, and her wariness towards Chu Zhao was completely lifted.
Perhaps it was Chu Zhao's gentle words that gave her courage, so she boldly proposed that she wanted to sleep with Chu Zhao.
Chu Zhao looked at her pitiful little face and couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and agreed to her request.
Princess Huai'an was very happy and showed a small, slightly reserved smile.
Since the death of her mother-in-law, she has never smiled again and has long forgotten how to laugh.
Chu Zhao is also a little cautious, because she has not slept with a child for many, many years.
I think back then, she gave birth to a son and was the only heir of Dayan. The civil and military officials paid more attention to the prince than she did. When the child was less than three years old, he began to suggest that mother and son live in separate palaces to prevent the child from being too attached to his mother in the future. It is difficult to become a great tool.
At first, she was reluctant to let him go. She couldn't stand the ministers talking every day, so she had no choice but to let the prince move to the palace next door.
The prince missed his mother and cried every night, so she would sneak over and put him to sleep every night.
Later, the ministers heard about this behavior and began to chatter about it in the morning.
She had no choice but to ask Xu Hui to coax the prince every night.
After coaxing her for a few months, the prince no longer was attached to her, and instead became attached to Xu Hui. He regarded Xu Hui as his own mother, and he immediately sought out Xu Hui when he was wronged.
The ministers were quite accepting of this, and some of them were joking, jokingly asking her to give Xu a title so that he could legitimately be the crown prince's mother.
At that time, Xu Hui was still young, thin-skinned and extremely ashamed, so he gave those people a lesson.
"Haha..." Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing when he thought of the past.
Princess Huai'an raised her head in her arms and asked softly: "Sister, why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing, I just remembered something else." Chu Zhao patted her on the back and said softly, "Go to sleep. I will take you to greet the Queen Mother tomorrow."
Princess Huai'an shrank and said timidly: "The Queen Mother doesn't like me and never lets me get close to Ci'an Palace."
"It's okay, I will make her like you." Chu Zhao said, "You have no support and no status now. Even if you have me to protect you, others will not take you seriously. If I am not in the palace one day, there is no guarantee that Others will not take the opportunity to embarrass you, so you can only truly stand upright in the palace if you win the favor of the Queen Mother."
Princess Huai'an was still a little scared: "Then how can I make the Queen Mother like me?"
"Don't worry about this, I will help you." Chu Zhao said, "But the premise is that you must trust me completely, and you must not have any doubts about my decision, nor can you disobey my arrangements."
Princess Huai'an did not hesitate at all and nodded immediately: "I believe in my sister. I am willing to do whatever my sister asks me to do."
"Okay, then go to bed quickly!" Chu Zhao said, "I will see the Queen Mother tomorrow. No matter what I say, you just have to agree."
"Ah."
Princess Huai'an responded and closed her eyes obediently in her arms, like a kitten that had been wandering for a long time and finally found its home. Her thin and small body huddled up, and her small hands held Chu Zhao's hand tightly, for fear that she would Chu Zhao will sneak away after falling asleep.
Children who have experienced hardship are always extra sensitive, extra obedient, and so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.
Chu Zhao patted her back gently, once and for all, until she completely relaxed and fell into a sweet dream.
Looking at the child's peaceful sleeping face, Chu Zhao couldn't help but think of Feng Guanlan's words again.
If she had given birth to a girl, would Dayan's fate have been different from now?
Everyone in the world thinks that men are the natural rulers. In fact, most of the chaos and wars in this world are caused by men.
At least when she was the emperor, she never thought about annexing and invading other countries. She spent her whole life's energy and efforts on developing national power, guarding the territory, and allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
She thought that if she got the power to rule again this time, she should make a rule that only women would be the emperors of Dayan in the future. If the previous emperor did not give birth to a daughter, even if he passed from another royal family, men would not be allowed to be in power. .
Of course, this is just her immature idea at the moment. Whether it can be implemented requires many considerations and discussions, and it is by no means something that can be implemented in a flash.
She decided not to worry about it for the time being, blew out the lamp, hugged Princess Huai'an's soft little body and closed her eyes.
If things go well, she can see Murong Xiao the day after tomorrow.
I haven’t seen him for a few months, and I don’t know what that guy is like now?
Chu Zhao smiled and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, hundreds of officials came to court.
Chu Zhao also got up early, washed up, had breakfast with Princess Huai'an, and planned to take her to Ci'an Palace to check the Queen Mother's pulse.
Princess Huai'an had the sweetest sleep in her life, and her condition was much better than yesterday.
Chu Zhao asked the palace servants to bring her brand-new clothes, and asked her to dress her up with sapphire and red gauze.
The fresh-faced little girl stood in front of the mirror. She was completely different from the poor little girl who was humiliated and fell into the water yesterday.
"Our little princess is so beautiful." Hongxiao praised from the bottom of her heart.
Princess Huai'an herself didn't believe she looked like this. She smiled in surprise and shyness in the mirror, and her big clear eyes finally had the brilliance that a child should have.
When Chu Zhao held her hand and walked out of Chaoyun Palace, all the palace passers-by showed expressions of disbelief. They couldn't believe that this little fairy was the former Princess Huai'an who was like a weed and no one cared about her.
When they arrived at Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother was equally shocked when she saw Princess Huai'an. Seeing the little girl's transformation, her handsome and lively eyebrows somehow reminded her of the portrait of Emperor Xihe when he was young.
Chu Xuan was a libertine. He had favored the palace maids and concubines since he was twelve or thirteen years old. There were more than a dozen princes and princesses in the palace, but none of them had similar looks.
It stands to reason that although Emperor Xihe is the ancestor of the Chu royal family, after so many generations, the appearance of her descendants has nothing in common with hers.
Why does Princess Huai'an have a face so similar to hers?
The Queen Mother was shocked and felt inexplicable uneasiness in her heart. She asked Chu Zhao with a straight face: "Why did you bring her here? The Ai family is unwell and irritable. They don't want to see the child."
Princess Huai'an was already scared, but after hearing what the Queen Mother said, she became even more nervous.
Chu Zhao patted her hand gently to express comfort, smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "Don't misunderstand, Queen Mother, I am not here to intercede for the princess, but to let the princess test the needle for the Queen Mother."
"Testing acupuncture?" The Queen Mother frowned, "What does testing acupuncture mean? The Ai family didn't understand."
Princess Huai'an had the most delicious meal in her life, and her wariness towards Chu Zhao was completely lifted.
Perhaps it was Chu Zhao's gentle words that gave her courage, so she boldly proposed that she wanted to sleep with Chu Zhao.
