This night passed, and before Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan woke up in the morning, there was already a loud cry of a baby in the warm pavilion next door.

As soon as Xiao Xuan heard the child's cry, her sleepiness suddenly dissipated, and she raised her hand and pulled the long hair that was scattered over her shoulders and sat up. She summoned the green forest who was keeping vigil in the warm pavilion yesterday, and whispered to the green forest to bring the child over.

Although the nurses who served the children in the house were personally selected and sent by Emperor Liu, Xiao Xuan was well conditioned and could feed the children by herself. The nurse Tan is handsome and knowledgeable, she still chooses to keep Tan, even if Tan is not allowed to feed the child, it is very good to keep her by the child's side for daily care.

On weekdays, the child has always woken up an hour later than Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan, but today is probably because the people in the house were too lively yesterday, and the child woke up early today.

He only cried habitually twice when he just woke up, waiting for Lu Lin to carry him to Xiao Xuan's arms. As soon as he looked up at Xiao Xuan with big black and round eyes, his petal-like mouth immediately grinned, and he giggled at Xiao Xuan.

By the time Xiao Xuan put on his coat and unbuttoned his clothes, he couldn't wait to bury his head and swallow.

When Duan Shaolan woke up, as soon as he opened his eyes, he could look at his wife and children sitting beside him. Xiao Xuan lowered his head and hugged the child and coaxed softly, Duan Shaolan sat up and hugged Xiao Xuan from behind.

"Are you awake?" Because he was still holding the babbling child in his arms, Xiao Xuan had to turn his head slightly and say to Duan Shaolan. "You drank a lot of wine yesterday, do you have a headache now?"

"It's fine." Duan Shaolan drank a good amount of alcohol, and as soon as the banquet dispersed last night, he immediately drank two bowls of decanting soup prepared by Xiao Xuan in advance, plus he had a good rest this night, except for sleeping a little heavier than before, he almost didn't feel any discomfort. "Is my brother full?"

"Well, I'm full." Xiao Xuan unceremoniously put the child who was pulling her hair in her arms and wanted to send it to her mouth into Duan Shaolan's arms. "You're very busy every day, so take advantage of this moment to hug your son more."

Duan Shaolan obediently took over the child waving his little hands and feet, and the action of holding the child in his arms was very familiar, the little guy suddenly went from the mother's arms to the father's arms, and the sudden change made the little guy lose his temper, he was about to cry twice with his throat, but Duan Shaolan skillfully patted his back, the little guy felt comfortable, so he closed his mouth and obediently lay in Duan Shaolan's arms.

The son was handed over to Duan Shaolan to coax, and Xiao Xuan simply got up, got out of bed, and went to wash.

Emperor Chu and Emperor Liu's concubines each had their own rewards and sent them to the princess's mansion from the palace, and even the queen, who had been saying that she was sick since Duan Shaoyou's accident, ordered someone to send a heavy gift.

Yesterday, Xiao Xuan officially came out of confinement, thinking that he would take the child into the palace today to thank him.

She hasn't dressed up carefully for a month, and it was easy to dress up yesterday, and since she entered the palace for the first time with her child today, she naturally can't be perfunctory at will.

Because the child is young, even if he just enters the second palace, there are a lot of things to bring, and Xiao Xuan's entry into the palace this time is a rare scene.

When Xiao Xuan arrived at Yihua Palace, she hadn't reached the door of the main hall before she heard a woman's cry inside.

"Atractylodes?" Xiao Xuan turned back to Baizhu and asked. "Are there any other guests in the palace today?"

"If you go back to the princess, there are indeed people in the main hall at this time." Baizhu stepped forward and replied. "But the people who came are Princess Yi and Concubine Side, and it doesn't hurt that the princess has passed."

"Okay, I got it." Listening to the crying inside, Xiao Xuan still decided to let the nurse and the green forest take the child to the side hall first.

After listening to Xiao Xuan's orders, Lu Lin immediately took the nurse and the maids with him.

Xiao Xuan followed Baizhu into the main hall, and the concubine Liu Huang, who was sitting on the right seat, was bowing her head. Xiao Xuan took a look at it, and in addition to Emperor Liu's concubine, there were indeed two women sitting in the hall, which were her sixth brother Xiao Jun's princess Zhao and side concubine Feng.

Zhao's face was calm, and he couldn't see the joy or sorrow. It was the Feng family who was sitting next to the Zhao family, crying like pear blossoms with rain, looking like he was not aggrieved.

"Imperial concubine, the princess is back." Baizhu stepped forward and said in a loud voice.

Baizhu's voice interrupted Feng's cry, and Concubine Liuhuang, who had been tormented by this cry for a long time, raised her head.

"Why are you here today?" Concubine Liuhuang, who hadn't seen Xiao Xuan since the day she gave birth, stood up excitedly and asked. "I didn't let anyone know in advance."

"Yesterday, the mother and the father gave a reward out of the palace, so I naturally want to take the child into the palace today to thank you." Xiao Xuan slowly stepped forward and said with a smile.

"The child is still young, and you have just come out of confinement, so Xie En is not in a hurry at this time." Concubine Liu felt sorry for her daughter and grandson, and she didn't want Xiao Xuan, who had just come out of confinement, to know about the bad things that had happened in Xiao Jun's mansion. "I still have something to talk to the Zhao family and the Feng family here, you go and ask your father for peace first."

"Mother concubine doesn't know, I went to Lingyun Hall first, and my father is discussing with the courtiers." Xiao Xuan knows the rules, if you want to enter the palace, you must first see Emperor Chu and the queen, Emperor Chu can't see him for the time being, and the queen said that she was sick and politely refused her invitation, so she came to Yihua Palace with peace of mind. "I also went to Zhaoyang Palace, but the queen was not cured, and she said that she was afraid that her illness would infect me and the child, so she didn't see me."

"The mother concubine is also for the good of the princess." At this time, Zhao, who had been expressionless, got up and said to Xiao Xuan. "There are some tricky things in the palace, and Concubine Feng and I came to the palace to ask for an idea from the concubine. But it's just some trivial things, and the princess is plain annoyed when she hears it, so it's better to ask the princess to go to the side hall and wait for a while. ”

As soon as Zhao's words fell, Feng got up with a sobbing voice and asked Xiao Xuan for peace.

Xiao Xuan looked at Feng's eyes, which were already red, swollen, and unbearable. I had to nod to her.

"Concubine Feng doesn't have to be polite, sit down." Xiao Xuan sighed lightly, turned his head and said to Emperor Liu. "Mother, don't treat me as a child who doesn't know anything, I'm a mother now, not a little girl who hasn't left the cabinet. Besides, the sixth brother is my brother-in-law, what is there in his house that I can't know? ”

"You shouldn't think too much about it when you are just out of confinement, and it is also for your own good not to let you know." Concubine Liuhuang's scalp is still tense for a while.

Originally, Xiao Jun went to Jiangnan Town, and Emperor Liu, Xiao Yu and his two uncles didn't know how many ways to think of for his safety. Who would have expected that after a few months, it would be easy to hope that he would return to the imperial capital safely. actually let him save the daughter of a criminal minister from the middle of the road, and brought it back to the imperial capital all the way.

In fact, the daughter of a criminal minister is nothing, and if Xiao Jun really likes it, it doesn't hurt to be a concubine.

The Zhao family was specially selected by Emperor Liu's concubine to be Xiao Jun's concubine, and Zhao's life has always reassured Emperor Liu's concubine. She took care of everything inside and outside the palace very well, and treated the side concubine Feng Shi and several other concubines who had been with Xiao Jun for some years in the palace, she took good care of and enveloped her, and never became jealous and did something unseemly.

As soon as Xiao Jun and the Zhao family returned to the house yesterday, Xiao Jun asked his attendants to lead the girl surnamed Yue to the Zhao family.

Seeing Xiao Jun's eyes looking at the girl, Zhao quickly understood. Without waiting for Xiao Jun to say more, the Zhao family took the initiative to arrange a quiet courtyard for her to live in, and said that she would enter the palace one day to inform Emperor Liu of the matter. The girl is the daughter of a criminal minister, and she has no parents in the family, so she can only be a concubine in her capacity.

It stands to reason that Zhao's disposition not only takes into account Xiao Jun's preferences, but also takes into account the rules of the palace.

But as soon as Zhao's words came out, Xiao Jun stopped doing it.

According to the regulations, Xiao Jun, as King Yi, in addition to one main concubine, can also set up two side concubines. It's just that now there is only one side concubine in King Yi's mansion, and there is really a vacancy, Xiao Jun intends to let this girl surnamed Yue sit on the position of this side concubine.

King Yi is the prince, and Xiao Jun will not ask if he wants to accept a concubine to serve Emperor Chu. In addition, the status of the concubine is not as good as that of the main concubine and the side concubine, and she will not be able to enter the jade plate of the clan, Xiao Jun may not know that he can accept ten or eight Chu emperors in one go.

But if you want to set up a side concubine, you must go through the Emperor Chu and the queen, and you must enter the jade plate of the clan.

This young girl surnamed Yue currently claims to be the daughter of a criminal minister, but in fact her origin has not been confirmed. Let's just say that Zhao nodded, and she couldn't pass the level of Emperor Chu at all.

However, the Zhao family would not let Xiao Jun mess around, and immediately advised Xiao Jun to give up this idea. It was easy for him to return to the imperial capital for disaster relief, and before he had time to report to Emperor Chu, he made such a scene, which no one wanted to see.

Xiao Jun not only did not accept Zhao's statement, but also had a big quarrel with Zhao.

The quarrel between the two was known even to Concubine Feng, who was the highest-ranking female in the Yiwang Mansion except for the Zhao family. Her appearance and personality have always been favored by Xiao Jun, and those concubines who are not as good as her no matter how much they pose any threat to her. But Xiao Jun went for a few months, and when she came back, she brought back the daughter of a criminal minister. It's just a matter of bringing it back, and it is even necessary to let the daughter of this criminal minister also sit on the position of side concubine.

Early this morning, Concubine Feng cried and went to look for Xiao Jun, but she was also scolded by Xiao Jun, so she had to go to find Zhao again.

The Zhao family and Concubine Feng discussed it a little, and there was only one way to enter the palace to find Emperor Liu's concubine.

So the two hurried to Yihua Palace before Xiao Jun entered the palace to report to Emperor Chu.

Here, Emperor Liu's concubine was still immersed in the joy of her grandson's full moon and her youngest son's safe return to the imperial capital, and she was stunned when she learned about it from the Zhao family.
