Wen Miaoran gently caressed Hanzhen's face. Hanzhen's eyes were closed, as if she was sleeping soundly. Her cheeks were flushed, and it was obvious that her fever had just subsided.
"Yanmei, did princess wake up after bengong left? Did she have dinner?”Wen Miaoran asked.
"Replying to Niangniang, the princess woke up for a while in the evening. When she woke up, she made a fuss and wanted to look for you. She ate less porridge for dinner. The imperial physician had instructed the princess not to add oil to her meals.”The palace maid named Yan Mei returned.
"Yes, did Yao come that day?"
"Replying to the Empress, the First Prince did not come. I heard from the servants in the Prince's Palace that the First Prince had dinner at His Majesty's place before returning to his chambers.”
"Then do you know where Your Majesty is staying today?”Miao Ran asked again.
"Replying to Your Ladyship is Yu Zhaoyuan from De Qing Hall.”
"Alright, you can leave. I'll pass on the message to you.”Wen Miaoran's face was filled with exhaustion, and her voice was also filled with tiredness.
"This servant will obey, but niangniang, because of the little princess 'matter niangniang has not had a good rest for several days. niangniang must prioritize the phoenix body. Don't overwork yourself." The servant girl Yan Mei looked heartbroken.
Wen Miaoran didn't say anything after hearing that. She just waved her hand at Yan Mei, indicating for her to leave. Seeing this, Yan Mei did not say anything else and respectfully left the room.
After Yan Mei left, Wen Miaoran slowly stood up and walked to the bronze mirror. Touching his slightly haggard face, he thought to himself, The emperor's love was only for this face. No matter how deep Tian Ze's love for her was, it would eventually fade away with the aging of the face. Since nothing could last long, no matter how cruel or cruel he was, he had to plan a good future for his only son, Tianyao. He was born in the royal family and was the eldest son of the emperor. If he could not ascend the throne, he would only die. For Tianyao and Hanzhen, he could only fight hard. Miao Ran looked at Hanzhen, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and her heart suddenly felt at ease.
On the second day, in Hua Rong Hall.
An Zhen sat on Miao Ran's lap and grabbed Miao Ran's sleeve. She said pitifully,""Consort mother went to see the peach blossoms yesterday but didn't bring this son along. Consort mother said that she would bring this son to admire the flowers and make garlands, so this son drank the medicine. Consort mother lied. Even Brother Tianyao didn't come to see me.”
Miao Ran stroked An Zhen's hair and said,""My silly princess, how can mother not dote on you? When An Zhen recovers, mother will bring An Zhen to admire the flowers. She will also ask father and brother Tianyao to accompany you.”
"Of course," A deep male voice sounded. A man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe entered the main hall. He was tall and straight, with a distinct outline and an extraordinary aura. He was Tian Ze, the current ruler of the Heavenly Dawn Dynasty. Behind him was a little boy in a green robe. He looked to be eight or nine years old, with a pair of eyes full of spirituality and porcelain-like skin. One look and one could tell that he was not an ordinary child. In the future, he would definitely be able to charm all living beings. Even now, he had a bearing that ordinary children did not have. This was Emperor Tian Ze's eldest son, Tian Yao.
When An Zhen saw that her Imperial Father had arrived, she immediately jumped down from Miao Ran's body and ran to Tian Ze. Tian Ze picked An Zhen up and caressed her little face lovingly." Listen to your Imperial Mother. When you're fully recovered, Imperial Father will bring you to play."”
An Zhen nodded obediently and said,"An Zhen likes father the most." I have to bring Brother Tianyao along." As she spoke, she winked at Tianyao, who was pretending to be reserved.
"Yes, bring your Brother Tianyao along.”Tian Ze said with a smile. Tianyao nodded.
An Zhen smiled in satisfaction as she played with the tassel hanging down from her crown.
At this moment, Miao Ran walked over with a face full of smiles." But Your Majesty has spoiled An Zhen." Yan Mei, take Princess down. It's time to drink the medicine. Your Majesty is tired and should rest."
"This servant will obey." After Yan Mei heard that, she took An Zhen from Tian Ze's hands. An Zhen did not throw a tantrum and only stuck out her tongue at Tian Yao. Tianyao only smiled and did not say anything. It was not his usual mischievous style.
"Then this subject will take his leave to drink the medicine. Imperial Father must keep his promise to this subject. This subject's memory is very good. Also, consort mother has to sleep with your son tonight.”An Zhen pouted and acted coquettishly.
"Alright, alright, I'll agree to your request." Tian Ze said lovingly.
An Zhen nodded in satisfaction.
"Then this servant will take her leave." After Yan Mei finished speaking, she left with An Zhen in her arms.
After An Zhen left, Tian Ze casually sat down on the couch, and Wen Miaoran followed suit.
Tian Ze looked at Wen Miaoran's slightly haggard face and felt a tinge of guilt in his heart as he said gently,""My beloved consort has been working hard these few days. Zhen has been busy with military matters these few days and was unable to come and see my beloved consort and Zhen 'er.”
"Your Majesty must be joking. You should have prioritized the world. Although ChenQie is a woman, she also understands these principles. ChenQie has just made this year's newly opened peach blossom cannon tea. If Your Majesty doesn't want to give it up, then try it.”After saying that, she passed a cup of fragrant peach blossom tea to Tian Ze.
Tian Ze took the teacup and took a sip carefully before praising,""It's the smell of my beloved consort."
Wen Miaoran smiled warmly. He looked at Tianyao, who had been well-behaved, and shouted,""Yao 'er, what's wrong with coming to mother's place? Usually, you would make a fuss the moment you enter the house. Why are you so silent today? Could it be that you have made some mistake and asked Imperial Father to punish you and not allow you to speak?”
Tian Rao obediently came to Miao Ran's side and sat down,""Consort Mother, Imperial Father promised son that if I become a prince who abides by etiquette in the future, I will find a master to teach this son to ride and shoot. Moreover, father had given this son a good bow yesterday. This son had planned to shoot the most beautiful bird after learning archery and make the most unique hair ornament for mother. Therefore, your son will be sensible in the future and will be like a prince, humble and courteous.”He said with a serious expression.
Miao Ran touched Tian Yao's head and said lovingly,""Yao 'er has grown up, but everything has to be done slowly. Don't be anxious, as long as Yao' er has the heart to be filial to mother, it's enough.”
Tian Ze looked at the loving mother and filial son duo and his heart softened." Tianyao is not only smart, he's also very hardworking. To be able to draw that bow at such a young age is already not easy. I have to find a good teacher for this child. As a prince, I can't be only civil and not martial.”
"Your Majesty is right. I wonder if Your Majesty has a suitable candidate?”Wen Miaoran turned to Tian Ze and asked.
"Today, I received military reports from the morning court. Chen Yuanchen, who was guarding the border, won a great victory against Tubo and achieved military merit again. Unfortunately, he was injured. These few years, Zhen has been urging him to return to the court, but he refused and insisted on staying in the desert. Now that he is injured, I will use this opportunity to let him bring his wife and daughter back. This is very good. With Chen Yuanchen's character and martial arts, he is the best candidate for Yao 'er's master. As long as he is willing to come back, I will definitely keep him.”Tian Ze had a determined look on his face.
"ChenQie will listen to Your Majesty's arrangements." Miao Ran said respectfully. He thought to himself, It really doesn't take much effort to get it. He didn't know how to persuade Chen Yuanchen to return to the capital. Now, he did not have to worry about it anymore. He did not expect that the problem that had been troubling him would be solved so easily. He was very happy in his heart.
The two of them looked at Tianyao at the same time. Tianyao stood up and bowed." Thank you for your love for me. I will naturally work hard with Master."”
"Yao 'er has indeed grown up. He speaks like an adult.”Miao Ran looked at the sensible and polite Tianyao and smiled from ear to ear.
"That is also my beloved consort's credit. It was my beloved consort who taught Tianyao well.”Tian Ze smiled as he looked at Miao Ran.
"Your Majesty, you praise me too much. Yao 'er is our common child. It is also Your Majesty's credit that Tianyao is so sensible.”Miao Ran flattered.
Tian Ze's expression instantly changed, but he did not say anything. He thought to himself,'When did I become so distant from Miaoran? I have to be careful when I speak, and I have to flatter her.' Where did the trust and understanding of the past go? Could it be that after staying in the palace for too long, people would really become so vulgar? He sighed in his heart. We've really drifted apart these past few years. I can't understand what you're thinking anymore.
Wen Miaoran did not notice Tian Ze's disappointment and continued to chat merrily. Although the distance between the two of them was very close, their hearts were already very far apart. It was so far that even Tian Ze did not know if he had the courage to chase it back.
