Chapter 189: The Full Moon Banquet is Over, Mother Leaves the Palace
After the enthronement ceremony, it was Xiaoliu’s full-moon banquet. Although not many royal relatives were invited to the palace this time, almost all the concubines who could attend were present.
Without those unstable factors, everyone else attended the banquet very honestly and dutifully, and even the Queen had no intention of causing trouble.
After all, these things have been happening too frequently recently. If something happens at the full moon banquet, I'm afraid the emperor will definitely associate it with me.
She has not yet completely regained the emperor's trust, so keeping a low profile is the best option.
As for Fu Cha Zhixi's title as concubine, it was not that she did not want to sabotage it.
However, the imperial edict had already been issued, and now it was just a matter of going through the formalities. There was really no need for her to make any fuss about it, lest it arouse the emperor's suspicion.
The entire full moon banquet ended lively and smoothly.
Fu Cha Zhixi followed the emperor to learn natural painting, and the emperor was indeed very tired during this period.
So after returning home at night, he didn't have any other thoughts at all. Fu Cha Zhixi was also very tired after the day's hard work.
After the two of them finished bathing, they chatted for a few minutes and then fell asleep quickly.
The next day, the emperor went to deal with state affairs early in the morning. Fu Cha Zhixi slept soundly and woke up only after being satisfied.
But she didn't expect that she would hear that Madam Fucha was leaving the palace just after she finished breakfast.
Her good mood suddenly dropped to the lowest point. She knew that her mother could not always stay with her in the garden, but she did not expect that the day of departure would come so soon. She had just finished her confinement and was about to leave.
"Mother, why don't you stay a few more days? I don't know how long it will take for us to see each other again."
Fu Cha Zhixi held her mother's hand and spoke reluctantly.
"You, now that you are a mother, are you still as dependent on me as you were when you were little?"
Mrs. Fucha looked at her now beautiful and graceful daughter and couldn't help but think of the little girl who always followed her around when she was little, and she felt reluctant to let go.
But no matter how reluctant she was, she had to leave the palace according to the rules. She couldn't cause trouble for her daughter.
In the past few months since entering the palace, she has witnessed the unpredictable hearts and constant struggles in the harem.
So she naturally didn't want her daughter to be caught because of herself.
"Even if I become a mother, I am still my mother's child."
"I just can't bear to leave you, mother."
Although Fu Cha Zhixi knew that it was inevitable that her mother would leave the palace today, she still couldn't accept this fact.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has sent something to the old lady."
After Suqin entered the hall and bowed to Fucha Zhixi, she began to speak.
"Okay, I understand. Please entertain the Queen's people for me, and pack up the things for my mother to take back."
Fucha Zhixi spoke.
"My lady, Eunuch Su is here."
At this time, Yuhu also brought Su Peisheng into the hall.
"Greetings to Queen Consort Xuan, may the Queen be blessed with good health and good health."
Su Peisheng bowed respectfully to Fu Cha Zhixi.
"Eunuch, get up quickly. If you have anything to do, just tell your apprentice to do it. Why did you come here in person?"
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Su Peisheng and spoke with a faint smile.
"The Emperor values Madam Fucha very much. He heard that Madam Fucha was leaving the palace, so he specially gave her some good things and asked me to personally deliver them to her."
Su Peisheng spoke very politely.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Mrs. Fucha took the initiative to speak.
"Madam, you don't have to be polite. The emperor was originally going to come over to see you off in person, but unfortunately he is really tied up with court affairs at the moment and can't spare the time, so he asked this servant to come over here to run a trip."
Su Peisheng waved his hands repeatedly and spoke to Madam Fucha with great respect.
"If your Majesty has nothing else to tell you, I will withdraw now."
"Thank you for the trip, eunuch. Yuhu, please see him off."
Fu Cha Zhixi gave Yu Hu a look, signaling her to go out and see him off.
"Okay, it's almost time, I should go too."
Mrs. Fucha looked at her child reluctantly, blinked, held back the tears that were about to fall, and spoke to Fucha Zhixi with a smile.
"Mother, please hug Xiaoliu again."
Fu Cha Zhixi took the little guy from Aunt Fangqiu and handed him to her mother.
"Good boy, you must listen to your mother in the future."
Mrs. Fucha carefully took the child and spoke in a gentle tone.
Although she felt sorry for the child, she felt even more sorry for her daughter who had to stay alone in this cannibalistic harem. She only hoped that the child would be well-behaved and sensible so that her daughter would have less worries.
"It's all right. Mother is gone."
Mrs. Fucha handed the child back to Fucha Zhixi, looked at the sedan chair that had been prepared outside, turned around and walked out without hesitation.
But before she took the last step out of the yard, she couldn't make up her mind and turned around to take another look at her daughter.
Seeing her tearful eyes, her heart ached, but she knew she couldn't stay and had to leave quickly.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
She didn't look back and got into the sedan chair directly.
"Eniang."
Fu Cha Zhixi held the child in his arms and cried out as he watched his mother leave.
The tears accumulated in my eyes could no longer be held back and fell down. Every tear that flowed down my cheeks was filled with deep reluctance.
Meanwhile, An Lingrong was carefully embroidering a small bellyband for the Sixth Prince.
She knew that her sister was very good at writing, but she was lacking in these women's work.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"My Lord, have you thought of anything funny?"
Chuntao asked with some curiosity.
"I was wondering how my sister, who is so smart, is not good at housework."
An Lingrong shook her head and spoke with some amusement.
"Every inch has its own merits and demerits. Empress Xuan is not good at these things, but it doesn't matter if you are good at them, young master."
"You and Empress Xuan are so close, just like two sisters. With you here, are you still worried that Sixth Prince won't have a good bellyband to wear?"
Chun Tao naturally knew the relationship between her mistress and Concubine Xuan, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Yeah, I can do it."
"If sister and Sixth Prince like it, I will embroider a few more."
An Lingrong touched the smooth embroidery on the bellyband with satisfaction, knowing that it would not hurt the baby's delicate skin.
"Yes, young lady, you should embroider more of these things. Maybe while you are embroidering, your own child will come."
Chuntao smiled and joked.
"You are talking nonsense more and more now."
An Lingrong gave Chuntao a somewhat embarrassed look.
