Prince Abandoned Concubine: Broth Ji Jiu'er

Chapter 433 What Can't Be Grasped (2)

Jiu'er turned his head and looked at her thoughtfully, Xiang Ling asked with a smile, "What's the matter, empress?"

"It's nothing, let Li Shude come to see me later, and I'll let him check these three palace servants." Jiu'er shook her head lightly, as if she agreed to her proposal.

The eunuch next to the emperor came to Huazhao Palace and announced that she would meet the Holy Majesty.

Hundreds of flowers are blooming in the imperial garden, the wind is holding the spring, the petals are layered, and the stamens are burning. Jiu'er saw the emperor drinking alone in the garden from a distance. At a glance, there are no pomegranate flowers in this imperial garden full of everything. , maybe the pomegranate flowers are too dull to go to the palace.

"See father." Jiu'er stopped not far from the emperor and knelt down to salute.

"Come on, get up and sit down." The emperor came back, and he looked a bit more energetic after taking off his dragon robe and changing into a black regular robe, and he didn't even squint his eyes anymore.

Because of her leg injury, the emperor specially allowed her not to come to pay her respects every day. Thinking about it this way, this was the first time she had seen the emperor alone.

Jiu'er obediently sat down at the jade table with a straight posture. In front of the table was a cluster of flowers that were blooming beautifully, and the atmosphere was dusty. The emperor followed her gaze and asked, "Do you know what kind of flower this is?"

"Return to father, it's Peony." Jiu'er replied respectfully, secretly speculating about the emperor's intention to see her.

"That's right, it's the peony." The emperor's gray hair looked a bit scorching under the sun, and he spoke slowly and normally, "I remember that the late emperor loved peony only, and once planted a peony garden in the palace, calling it the king of flowers , is the most fragrant in the world. During the reign of the first emperor, he fought on the battlefield several times, worked hard, and created a moment of prosperity. He even wrote a poem jokingly calling himself a peony among men."

Jiu'er didn't answer, but maintained a faint smile.

"You don't have to be restrained, I just suddenly remembered that no one in the palace chatted with me for a long time." The emperor said slowly.

"Yes." Jiu'er nodded slightly, but still did not interrupt himself, the emperor said again, "Your father... I mean King Ling, he was the most favored prince of the late emperor, but do you know why the late emperor didn't give it to him in the end?" Pass the throne to him?"
