Chapter 514: Seven Girls, You Have to Work Hard
At dusk that day, Chu Jiangnan really returned from the palace, picked up Qiqi and rushed directly to the palace.
The banquet was held in the imperial garden, which was indeed commonplace, but this time several noble concubines also came, and there was also Concubine Yi who had not been seen for a long time.
What surprised Qiqi was that among these concubines, there was actually a Murong Susu.
Since the last time she was in the Dustless Pavilion, Murong Susu took her subordinates to blame her, and after being rectified by Prince Nan, she never saw her again.
As if she had suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, she hid in Sulan Pavilion all day and night, and never came out to make trouble.
It was a bit unexpected to invite her to this banquet, not to mention that Chu Liuyun had already asked her to change her identity from a concubine to a side concubine, just a side concubine, she really didn't have much qualification to sit here and dine with the concubines.
However, since she came, it was said that she had this qualification.
"The Seven Girls are here. Concubine Jin caught a glimpse of her, and hurriedly asked the palace maid to leave a place beside her, but Chu Jiangnan was invited to the men's table.
Qiqi saluted the concubines, then looked at Murong Susu again, Wen Yan shouted "Sixth Emperor Sister", and sat down beside Concubine Jin.
Her eyes unconsciously swept over Murong Susu's hand, she was wearing gold gloves on her hands, and she couldn't see that her fingers were wasted, but now that the weather was cold, it was nothing to wear these gloves, but once it was summer, as soon as the weather was hot, it would inevitably make people suspicious to wear gloves again.
As if sensing her attention to her five-fingered gaze, Murong Susu's face sank slightly, and she subconsciously put her hand back under the table, and then looked at Concubine Yi on the side, her face was gentle, and there was a shallow smile hidden in the corner of her lips, listening to Concubine Yi's advice to her.
"Don't touch the cold water in the future, and remember to add clothes when the weather is cold, the palace will order someone to send the palace to send the best medicinal materials and supplements to Sulan Pavilion, and let you take it on the road when the time comes, but in any case, you have to be more careful, don't bump into it." ”
Qiqi blinked slightly, looked at Murong Susu nodded slightly, and responded one by one, and suddenly became suspicious in his heart.
Originally, after Murong Susu designed Chu Liuyun, Concubine Yi and her became incompatible beings, but now that the two of them are together, the atmosphere is so harmonious, and Concubine Yi's advice, how she listens to it and feels weird.
Catching a glimpse of the confusion in her eyes, Concubine Jin on the side patted the back of her hand and said with a light smile: "The seventh girl doesn't know yet, you Sixth Emperor Sister ......"
She pursed her lips and smiled, after all, Murong Susu and Chu Liuyun had not yet married, and it was not easy to put this matter on the table, so she just gave Qiqi a hintive look.
Qiqi thought about it, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and came to his senses: "Sixth Emperor Sister, you ...... You ......"
His gaze fell on her abdomen, and the surprise was only fleeting, and the expression on his face quickly calmed down.
Murong Susu was pregnant and pregnant with the child of Prince Yun, no wonder she suddenly became so favored from a side concubine who was much neglected, and even invited her to the royal banquet.
Concubine Yi glanced up at Qiqi, just nodded with a smile, then looked at her with a slap in the face, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Concubine Jin also patted the back of her hand and asked her to drink tea.
Qiqi knew that Murong Susu and Yun Wang Ye had not yet married, although everyone knew about this matter, but it still couldn't be put on the table, after all, this was a matter that damaged the royal face, but all the people present were important people in the harem, so this matter naturally couldn't be hidden.
Concubine Yi was still telling Murong Susu how to take care of herself in the future, but Qiqi heard from their conversation that it seemed that the day of their return to Nanmu Country had been advanced.
According to Murong Susu's current situation, it should be done in advance, if she is not mistaken, it has been more than a month since then, and it is naturally impossible to see it for more than a month.
But to go back to Nanmu to propose relatives first, stay in Nanmu for a short time, and then return to Chu from Nanmu to welcome the team, this time to say the least, there is a month or two, and it is good to come back before the New Year.
At that time, Murong Susu's belly should be prominent, right? She still has to come back here to hold a royal wedding, and it will not be good if it is seen by others at that time, so it is naturally a good thing for them to leave half a month early, she is just worried that Chu Jiangnan's body does not know if she can eat it.
looked over the crowd, looked at the male guest seat not far away, and looked at his exquisite side face, and his gaze unconsciously softened.
Suddenly, someone held her little hand, she was stunned, and turned her head sideways to meet the soft gaze of Shangjin Guifei: "Guifei Niangniang......"
"It's also called the concubine of the palace, is it because the palace announced you to the Yujin Pavilion that day and gave you a beating?"
Qiqi was stunned and hurriedly said: "How come......? It's just ......"
"It's time to follow your brother's example and call the mother concubine of the palace, and when you come back from Nanmuguo, this wedding will also be held. Concubine Jin shook her hand again, and when she looked at her, her eyes were as gentle as a spring breeze: "Look at your six emperor sisters have all ......."
After a pause, she said: "The mother concubine is not an old-fashioned person, if you and the emperor are in love, the mother concubine will not mind you ......"
The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she smiled knowingly.
However, Qiqi immediately blushed with embarrassment, especially when she clearly felt that other people's eyes fell on her, her little face was even redder with shame, and she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't snort.
Concubine Jin said again: "The prince of this palace may not understand the amorous feelings, seven girls, you have to work hard." ”
Qiqi was startled, raised his head and glanced at her resentfully, she is a girl's family, what do you want her to work on?
It was this glance that made Concubine Jin laugh loudly, Concubine Jin had been in the palace for so many years, and it was really rare for Concubine Jin to smile so heartily, and the others couldn't help but put a little smile on everyone's face.
Concubine Yi looked at her and said with a smile: "Sister Yu, do you need to worry? ”
Murong Susu smiled gently, only lowered his head like Qiqi and did not speak.
However, Concubine Jin clenched Qiqi's hand again, and when she looked at her, her eyes were full of hope, such a look made Qiqi's heart empty, and suddenly she felt that she was really sorry for this elder.
Concubine Jin really loves her own emperor, because she is the emperor, even if she has many opinions about herself, she can still reluctantly suppress it and treat her with sincerity.
If Concubine Jin knew that her marriage with her senior brother was fake, there would be no love between the two of them, and she would never add a grandson to her in the future, I don't know how disappointed she would be?
She sighed secretly in her heart, held her palm back, and said with a smile: "Qiqi does his best." ”
She tried her best, not to try her best to add a grandson to Chu Jiangnan, but to try her best to find a suitable candidate for her senior brother, first let him be accepted as a side concubine, even if it is a concubine, and then after the senior brother divorces her, she can be supported as a concubine.
If you can't do one, you can do two, as long as the senior brother likes it, you can have as many girls as you want.
She can't add royal grandchildren to Concubine Jin, so let those girls fulfill her wishes, she believes that as long as it is the flesh and blood of her senior brother, Concubine Jin will definitely like it, maybe she likes it more than she gave birth.
In order to hide her embarrassment and weakness, she suddenly stood up, took out a delicate bag from her sleeve, opened the bag and took out a piece of jade pendant from it, first reached out and handed one of them to Concubine Jin, and said warmly: "Niangniang......"
The words turned, and he said: "Mother, this is the ancient sandalwood jade pendant that I let people build, it is said that this kind of jade is warm in winter and cool in summer, people wear it on their bodies, even if they wear less clothes in winter, they will not catch a cold, this is just Qiqi gave to you, you put it away, and wear it on your body in winter." ”
Concubine Jin took it over, looked at it in her hand, and nodded with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a good jade." ”
Concubine Hua, who was sitting on the side and hadn't spoken much, couldn't help but say: "Look at you two, the new daughter-in-law is so filial, but no one cares about me as an old man." ”
Qiqi was stunned, looked sideways, and really didn't see the figure of the crown princess Shi Huade, I don't know what the princess is busy with, she didn't even participate in this kind of royal banquet, and then looked at the seats of the princesses not far away, and still didn't see the princess.
She smiled lightly, took out a jade pendant from the bag, walked up to her and said respectfully: "Who said that we as juniors don't think about the concubine, you see, don't I keep them all for you? ”
took out two more, a total of three jade pendants and handed them to her, with a smile on her face.
Hua Guifei took it with a smile and held it in her palm, as she said, in this cool autumn night, the jade pendant carried a warm breath.
"What a good jade. She sighed.
Qiqi walked up to Concubine Yi again, this time he took four pieces and handed them to her, and said with a smile: "Concubine Yi, these four jade pendants are given to you." ”
You guys...... Concubine Yi's gaze moved away from her face and fell on the jade pendant in her hand, four pieces, that is, one for her, one for Yun Wangye, one for Murong Susu, and one for Chu Mingzhu.
She thought that these two people were already incompatible, and it was impossible to repair one day, but when Murong Qiqi didn't give her a jade pendant, she was still thinking about Mingzhu.
The smile on the corner of Qiqi's lips narrowed slightly, and said: "Princess Mingzhu is married to someone else, and I don't know if she will take care of herself when she is there, although she is no longer in the imperial city, but the concubine Niangniang can send someone to send it, it is something sent by the concubine Niangniang, she will definitely be moved after she knows." ”
Concubine Yi finally took the four jade pendants, put them in her palms and held them, a little warmth rose from her palms, and slowly rose, and sure enough, the whole person seemed to be a little warmer.
Only after half a ring did she look up at Qiqi and said with a smile: "Then the palace will thank you on their behalf." ”
