Chapter 65

Qin Jingnan and Mo Shu'an didn't know about this scene in the palace, but a few days before the concubine's birthday, they faintly noticed that something was wrong, although the concubine's birthday this year was also luxurious, but compared with previous years, there was an obvious difference, and it turned out that on the eve of the concubine's birthday, Emperor Yan would stay in the concubine's palace, and on the day of the concubine's birthday, he directly took the concubine to sit in the imperial chariot and come together.

But today the concubine came alone, because she was pregnant, she changed into loose clothes and flat shoes, and she didn't wear much jewelry on her body, and the whole person looked a lot haggard.

Mo Shu'an saw the princess for the first time, the princess was very thin, but her belly was very big, no wonder the princess had been letting the princess rest in bed, even if Mo Shu'an saw it, she felt that the princess was a little wrong.

The prince was very considerate to the princess, and tied a cloak for her with his own hands, she was also pregnant, the princess's face was a little yellow, and there were some spots on her face.

Mo Shu'an felt that the crown princess looked good when she smiled, not because she was beautiful, but with a bit of happiness and satisfaction.

Qin Jingnan glanced at it, and then stopped paying too much attention, but sat next to Mo Shu'an and didn't know what he was thinking.

Because Emperor Yan said that this was a family banquet, in addition to the crown prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and the eighth prince, there were only the crown princess, the fourth prince and Mo Shu'an, the prince and the princess were at the same table, the fourth prince and the fourth princess sat at one table, Qin Jingnan and Mo Shu'an were at the same table, and the eighth prince sat by himself because he had not yet married a wife, but he looked at the concubine from time to time, obviously worried.

The four princesses took good care of the four princes, and were whispering something to the four princes, and the four princes were amused after a while, Mo Shu'an felt that the relationship between the four princes and the four princesses was very deep, and the four princesses were not the kind of people who looked amazing, but the more they looked at it, the more they tasted, but they were a little weak.

Emperor Yan and the queen came together, the prince and several people got up to greet him, and the concubine also stood up, but her body shook and she was supported by the palace maid to stand firmly.

The queen smiled, "Today is the concubine's birthday, and everyone present is also her own family, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

Emperor Yan waved his hand and said, "Okay, get up and sit down." ”

After everyone sat down, the palace maid and the eunuch put the food one by one, the eyes of the concubine kept rubbing and looking at Emperor Yan, the most angry time has passed, and now look at the concubine, although Emperor Yan is not as tender as he was at the beginning, but in the end he still has some feelings, raised his glass and said, "I wish the concubine a happy birthday." ”

The concubine's eyes were red, but she showed a smile, with a bit of flattery and pity, "Thank you." Yingying glanced at Emperor Yan, raised her head and drank the wine in the cup.

Emperor Yan also drank the wine in the cup, and the queen said softly, "The concubine is pregnant, although the imperial doctor said that the concubine can use wine, but she must also pay attention to her body." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Yan frowned and looked at the concubine's belly, even if this child's preservation made him feel the concubine's calculations, but at Emperor Yan's age, he still attaches great importance to the child.

The concubine's hand gently stroked her stomach, pursed her lips and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, I only use a cup that is not in the way, and the rest can only replace wine with water, and I have to ask the queen to forgive me." ”

Emperor Yan was satisfied, and the queen also smiled and said, "That's good, I specially asked people to stew some nourishing soup for the concubine and the crown princess." ”

After the queen's words were finished, the palace maid brought things up, Emperor Yan and the queen were sitting at the same table, today's banquet will be arranged like this, and the queen will handle it single-handedly, "I asked people to send some to the nobles." ”

"Zitong does things, I don't worry." Emperor Yan opened his mouth when he heard this.

The queen smiled, "They are all His Majesty's children." ”

Emperor Yan didn't say anything more, but shook the queen's hand.

The palace maid brought the things to the concubine and the princess respectively, and after the princess got up to thank her, she slowly ate it, but the concubine didn't move at all, just put it aside, Emperor Yan and the queen saw it in their eyes, but they just didn't see it.

The eighth prince said with a smile, "Father, my son specially prepared a gift for his mother. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Yan asked, "What have you prepared?" Why don't you take it out and take a look? ”

The eighth prince said, "Every stitch and thread on my son's body was given by his father, and my son didn't know what to give to his mother after thinking about it for a long time." ”

The sentence that every stitch and thread was given by his father touched Emperor Yan's heart deeply, and he swept down the four sons present, and he already thought about it in his heart.

The eighth prince spoke, "The son can only get his hands on the swordsmanship, so I asked my father to give me the sword, and the son specially learned a set of swordsmanship and wanted to show it to the concubine as a birthday gift for the concubine." ”

Emperor Yan immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Wu Sheng went to the study to get my sword." ”

"Yes." After Wu Sheng saluted, he hurriedly ran to get it.

The Eighth Prince said respectfully, "Father Xie." ”

The queen was on the side, although she still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were already gloomy, this time for the concubine's birthday, she also specially instructed the prince to prepare more treasures, but now that the eighth prince said this, it seems that the prince has fallen into a single place, but it is too late to prepare.

The concubine said in a coquettish voice, "Zuo'er, you are messing around, thanks to your father not to blame." ”

Qin Zuo scratched his head, smiled and leaned over to the concubine's side and said, "My son also wants to make my mother happy." ”

The concubine pursed her lips and smiled, but looked at Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan happened to look at the concubine as well, the concubine's eyes were red and she quickly lowered her head, and her hand gently stroked her stomach.

The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the study is a little far away from this, why don't we take a look at the congratulatory gifts prepared by the five princes first?" ”

Emperor Yan nodded when he heard this, "It's okay." ”

The queen smiled lovingly and said, "What did Jing Nan prepare?" ”

Qin Jingnan, who had been sitting silently, looked up at Emperor Yan and the concubine, and then got up with Mo Shu'an, and reached out to help Mo Shu'an when she got up.

Emperor Yan was a little unhappy when he saw Mo Shu's peace of mind, there were also such weak women in his harem, but this person was his daughter-in-law, and it was not easy to give birth at first glance, how could he spread the branches and leaves for his son? It's just that I thought of my son's cousin in the study that day, and sighed in my heart, thinking that I would mention it to the queen recently, and then reward some women with healthy bodies to Qin Jingnan.

Qin Jingnan couldn't speak, so he just saluted, then took something from the palace people's hands, and glanced at Mo Shu'an, Mo Shu'an's voice was obviously a little trembling and cowardly, "Your Highness...... This is a gift from His Highness and me...... Gift. After saying a word, it seemed as if he had exhausted his courage.

The queen smiled and said, "How can I see that there are three copies?" ”

Mo Shu'an involuntarily leaned closer to Qin Jingnan's side before saying, "It's for my father, the queen, and the concubine." ”

Qin Jingnan's eyes were very soft when he looked at Mo Shu'an, Emperor Yan saw it in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, in fact, it seems that it is not bad for Qin Jingnan to marry such a wife, it is better than being too strong to suppress his son, thinking of Qin Jingnan's last wife, after comparing it, he also felt that Mo Shu'an's cowardly temperament was not unacceptable, "Okay, hand it over." ”

The queen knew that her son's congratulatory gift could not overpower the eighth prince, what Qin Jingnan had prepared, she also knew, after all, this was not a secret, so it was better to carry Qin Jingnan, after all, a dumb person would never pose a threat to her son, the queen smiled lovingly, "I never thought there would be mine, bring it to me and see, I am stained with the light of His Majesty." ”

Emperor Yan smiled and said, "Since the queen has a nature, let's bring things up." ”

Wu Sheng was not by Emperor Yan's side, but there were other little eunuchs there, so he immediately went down to take the things, and then held them in front of Emperor Yan and the queen, the concubine's hand twisted the handkerchief fiercely, but with a smile on her face, she said softly, "I want to take a look too." ”

The palace maid beside the concubine hurriedly went over to take it, and then held it and gave it to the concubine.

The queen immediately opened the box and said with surprise on her face, "Your Majesty, look at ......"

Emperor Yan only knew that Qin Jingnan and his wife were going to send clothes, but they didn't know what it looked like, and they glanced at the queen's side, and saw that the red clothes were embroidered with gold and silver intersecting threads, and the little eunuch was very eye-catching, and opened Emperor Yan's share, Emperor Yan's clothes were written with pure gold thread, although they were all blessing words, but each word was different, Emperor Yan looked carefully, only felt that this handwriting was a little familiar, and thought of Qin Jingnan after a little thought, I am afraid that these blessing words are written by Qin Jingnan himself, Then Qin Jingnan's wife embroidered it.

"Good!" Emperor Yan praised.

When the queen heard Emperor Yan's praise, although she had just made a decision to hold Qin Jingnan to suppress Qin Zuo, she was also a little unhappy in her heart, but the prince said, "The father and queen mother were so surprised, and it also opened the eyes of the son." ”

Emperor Yan smiled and said, "You like to join in the fun." ”

Since he had the eighth prince, Emperor Yan and named him Qin Zuo, he rarely gave the prince a good look, so his attitude at this time was even more precious, and the queen also realized that her eyes flashed and said with a smile, "Okay, just let you be angry." ”

The little eunuch saw that Emperor Yan did not object, so a few people carefully held the box, ready to hang up the clothes in the back and move them out to show everyone.

The queen smiled, "I just don't know if the concubine is willing to give up?" ”

"What's so reluctant about this?" The concubine said with a smile, "After all, it is the heart of the five princes and the five princesses." With that, he asked the palace maid to hold the box and hand it to the little eunuch beside Emperor Yan.

Qin Jingnan was a little irritable in his heart, the queen and the concubine made a move, but they were targets, the most disliked thing was that these people didn't pay attention to their own lady's craftsmanship at all, in order to embroider these clothes, Mo Shu'an lost a lot of weight, and often had back pain.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Mo Shu'an, who kept her head down and maintained a cowardly posture, like a weak woman who had never seen the world. Thinking of Mo Shu'an's morning exercise in the courtyard a few days ago, I felt a little like laughing in my heart for some reason.
