Chapter 803
Within a few minutes, the nuns and maidservants from the mansion came in and waited for the masters to change their clothes.

Seeing a little red on the white handkerchief, Mammy smiled knowingly and put it back in her sleeve.

After freshening up and taking a simple bite of breakfast, the two of them entered the palace.

"Participate in the father, queen and concubine."

Shangguan Lan saluted respectfully, and before he knelt down, he coughed violently.

The emperor frowned: "Lan'er is unwell, so there is no need to salute, come and give me a seat."

"Thank you, Father, for your understanding."

After Shangguan Lan sat down, Tu Zhimeng also sat down.

Concubine He Gui sat on the right side of the emperor, looked at the dumb daughter-in-law who couldn't speak, and then at her sick son, she couldn't help sighing.

Very worried about their future.

"Did you rest well yesterday?" She asked slowly, her eyes fell on Shangguan Lan, and she couldn't help sighing again.

Shangguan Lan was quite healthy when he was young, and he was also the most outstanding among the several princes.

He is the emperor's favorite son.

But for some reason, he fell into the water with the eldest prince, and his health has been bad since then.

At that time there was no crown prince.

The eldest prince was born to the former empress, and the former empress died of dystocia, so the eldest prince has been taken care of by the empress dowager.

If... it wasn't for the drowning, maybe the current crown prince would be Shangguan Lan, not the eldest prince who was obsessed with the land of smoke and willows all day long.

Thinking of this, Concubine He Gui sighed again.

Fortunately, she also has a third prince.

The third prince practiced martial arts with the general in the frontier when he was young, and he returned to the city at the age of 16. He was loved by the emperor as soon as he came back.

"If you go back to your mother and concubine, Erchen cough cough cough... rested well."

As he said that, he blushed and glanced at Tu Zhimeng, as if implying some reason.

Tu Zhimeng: "..." This is a showman...

After chatting for a few more words, He Guifei called Tu Zhimeng away, saying that the flowers in the harem were blooming, and told her to go and enjoy the flowers.

Tu Zhimeng naturally expected that the mother-in-law told her to lecture her.

Sure enough, as soon as she left the hall, Concubine He Gui's smile collapsed, her face was dark and ugly.

Tu Zhimeng didn't care, she just admired the flowers on her own.

"Ma'am, Princess Ziyan, please see me." The eunuch came over and said in a shrill voice.

Princess Xia Ziyan is the daughter of Concubine He Gui's cousin's family. She is the same age as Tu Zhimeng this year. Because she entered the palace to play with the princes since she was a child, she was deeply loved by the emperor, so she was given the title of princess.

Concubine He Gui once wanted to marry Ziyan to Shangguanlan, after all, she was a childhood sweetheart and knew everything.

"Yan'er, you are back." Concubine He Gui was very happy to see Ziyan, and immediately held her hand.

Xia Ziyan smiled, seeing that he was a pampered child, he hugged Concubine He Gui directly without saluting.

"It's all my father's insistence on dragging me to Lingcheng to play. Am I coming to see my aunt as soon as I come back?" She was coquettishly coquettish, with a smile on her delicate face.

His eyes fell on Tu Zhimeng, and he paused slightly.

"Who is this aunt?" She looked at Tu Zhimeng with scrutiny, and finally landed on the white jade pendant worn by Tu Zhimeng's waist, and was shocked for a moment.

He tore off the jade pendant without any regard for etiquette.

"I gave this to Brother Lan, how could it be on you?" Xia Ziyan's eyes were suddenly stained with hostility, and he looked at Tu Zhimeng warily.

Tu Zhimeng was very calm, and didn't intend to explain, but quietly snatched the jade pendant back.
