Chapter 197: Birthday Banquet
For Li Xuan, the waiting process was extraordinarily long and painful.
The Queen Mother's birthday in November is the time when Xiyan reacts the most.
The two first took Jing Yi to Cining Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother.
"Whatever you like, take it yourself, don't be restrained." The Queen Mother smiled and ordered someone to bring the newly made refreshments to Jing Yi.
"Yes, Jing Yi thanks the Empress Dowager for the reward!" Jing Yi saluted seriously, and the rules were not bad at all.
"This boy is so delightful, and you have taught him excellently." The Queen Mother smiled.
"The Queen Mother is overrated." Xiyan hurriedly got up and replied.
"I heard that the mourning family is pregnant again?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
“…… Be. "The sunset is sudden.
"Okay, good," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "The mourning family felt that Li Xuan's heir was too thin before, and now it's okay." As he spoke, he hurriedly summoned Xiyan to take a closer look.
"Why is the little face left," the Queen Mother took her hand with a sigh, "Everyone else is fat, but you are getting thinner and thinner." Look at this little pitiful ......" Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the nervousness on Li Xuan's face on the side, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile and quipped, "Don't talk about Li Xuan, it's very distressing to mourn the family." ”
Xiyan was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I usually eat a lot...... all kinds of tonic ingredients were sent to her in different ways, plus his daily coercion and temptation...... I can't eat it if I don't want to.
Li Xuan silently added in his heart: It's a pity that I vomited.
The Queen Mother left them to talk for a while, until the banquet was about to begin, and then she let them out.
"Tired or not?" He held Jing Yi in one hand and asked her with his head down.
Xiyan shook her head helplessly, "You've asked several times since you came out." ”
"Amma, is there a lot of shows tonight?" Jing Yi tugged at Li Xuan's sleeve, his little face full of anticipation.
"Well," Li Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "There are many delicious dishes." ”
Remembering those delicacies...... Xiyan has already started to regurgitate.
………………
Lotus roll, rouge cake, crystal crisp, mandarin duck cup, celery heart, braised mushrooms, hibiscus shrimp, grilled fish fan, pineapple meat, chestnut chicken...... Jing Yi sat in the nurse's arms and ate with relish, and Xi Yan endured the overturning of the river and the sea in her stomach.
…… He was still putting vegetables on her plate.
"I'm full." She smiled wryly, carefully covering her lips with a handkerchief.
"You haven't eaten anything at all." He frowned.
"Who said that, I drank a bowl of porridge just now...... I also ate chestnut cake and walnut cake before going out......"
"Well, a bite of everything." He revealed.
"Li Xuan, I really can't eat it...... Don't force me to eat it. She grimaced. forced her to eat at home, and when she came out, she still did this...... Two or three months is a difficult time, and this child is extremely abrasive, and she can't help it.
"Okay," he finally compromised, "obediently drink this bowl of bird's nest, and I won't let you eat it again." ”
Xiyan was completely speechless.
………………
Leaving the palace gate in the name of unraveling his hands, Xiyan sighed.
Although it is winter, the palace is still full of flowers, as gorgeous as spring. After sending the palace maid who led the way, she was not in a hurry to go back, and walked around quite leisurely.
There seems to be a pond all the way south...... Now she is not very afraid of water, but every time she faces the Sixteen Fujin, she is still a little frightened. But speaking of which, I didn't seem to see her much just now, except when the banquet was held......
Xi Yan thought about it and walked south unconsciously.
From a distance, I saw a person standing on the stone by the pool, and the light yellow flag costume was very eye-catching.
The man couldn't help but look back when he heard her footsteps, and he was also stunned when he saw Xiyan.
Xi Yan smiled awkwardly, "Sixteen Fujin." ”
Sixteen Fujin turned his head indifferently, looked at the pond water, and asked lightly, "What, you also want to come to see my jokes?" "She had just received enough sneers in that group of Fujin, and she was not the only one who was missing.
Xiyan was stunned. “…… I'm not...... I'll just walk around. "I don't really want to pay attention to her...... But think about her being so pitiful...... "The edge of the pool is slippery, you better come down." She cautiously walked up to her side and reminded.
"What are you afraid of?" Sixteen Fujin sneered, "Do you think I can't jump off?" ”
Xiyan didn't dare to speak.
"You're proud now," Sixteen Fujin said coldly, "I heard that Prince Rui treats you like a baby...... I really don't understand, just rely on your ......" She seemed to want to say a few ugly words to sarcastically mock her, but she remembered something for a while, and finally only sighed with a calm face, "Forget it, you go, I want to stay alone." ”
Seeing that Xiyan didn't move, she glared at her fiercely, "If you don't leave, do you still want to be a soup chicken?" ”
Xiyan couldn't help but shrink back. "Then I'm leaving, you should go back quickly, otherwise-"
"I don't need you to talk too much!" Sixteen Fujin even had red eyes.
Going out far away, Xiyan is still a little absent-minded.
From time to time, there was a singing and dancing in the hall, recalling the gloomy loneliness of Fang Cai's sixteenth fortune...... She couldn't help but look back, but she couldn't see anything anymore...... I was thinking about it in a trance, and suddenly I was tripped by a small pebble under my feet.
The high flowerpot bottom shoes were crooked, and Xiyan's body leaned back uncontrollably.
She subconsciously closed her eyes and tightly protected her lower abdomen.
The whole person fell into a warm embrace.
"You-"
"I don't pay attention when I walk, what should I do if I fall on our daughter?" He slapped her ass hard.
Xiyan was frightened, leaning on his arms for a long time before he could barely stand up, and his legs were still a little weak.
“…… Why did you get out? She smiled heartily.
"Of course I'm looking for you." He held her up, and said angrily, "Fortunately, I came in time!" "I'm all feeling bad now.
"Hehe...... "Hehe Xi Yan explained with a smile on his face, "just now...... It was an accident, and I'm usually very careful......"
Li Xuan glared at her fiercely.
"What are you looking back at? Don't even look at the road. ”
She thought for a moment and said truthfully, "...... I've met the Sixteen Blessings. ”
"Hmm—" He frowned and straightened her cloak and motioned for her to continue.
"It's over there." Xiyan pointed ahead, "She's alone." ”
"She's bullying you again?" His face was gloomy and his gaze was cold.
"No, no." Xiyan waved his hand hurriedly. And he said two words...... Don't think about it. ”
"I forgive her and don't dare." Li Xuan's face turned slightly pale.
"But...... She seemed to be in a bad mood. ”
"Stay away from her in the future." Li Xuan snorted coldly, and said while escorting her back, "Of course she is in a bad mood." In the past, she ridiculed others, but now on this occasion, she is afraid that it will not be much better...... "karma."
The illustrious mother's family fell, and she was pampered and unfavored by her husband...... Everything a woman can rely on - she's gone.
