Chapter 351: Going to the Banquet (2)
When we arrived at the palace gate, the carriage slowly stopped.
Before getting out of the carriage, Ye Shi told again: "Jin Niang, after entering the palace, you don't have to do anything, just follow me." Also, you pretend at luncheon, don't eat anything from the palace. If you are hungry, you can endure it, and eat it again when you return home in the evening. ”
Xu Jinyu responded softly, and after getting out of the carriage, she followed behind the Ye family with her head down, all the way to Yanfu Palace.
At this time, almost all the concubines in the palace came, sitting and chatting with the high-grade ones, and the low-grade ones stood together and gossiped, which was quite lively.
The only one who was absent was Concubine Ji Xian.
After King Qin was given to die, Concubine Ji Xian's sky also completely collapsed, and she was bedridden all the time, and she never left Changle Palace for half a step. The concubines who had befriended Concubine Ji Xian in the past avoided it, and no one was willing to visit Changle Palace at all.
The emperor no longer set foot in Changle Palace. Today's Changle Palace is no different from the Cold Palace.
Queen Ye, who has been deposited for a long time, is now back in charge of palace affairs, changing the gentle wind and drizzle of the past, with sharp means and sharp edges.
Obviously, Empress Ye is building momentum for the King of Chu to seize the crown.
The Ye family led Xu Jinyu into the main hall of Yanfu Palace, and immediately attracted the attention of all the concubines.
The corners of Ye's lips smiled, and he greeted the concubines elegantly and reservedly. Xu Jinyu didn't need to open her mouth to speak, she just needed to stand beside Ye with a smile and salute together.
After a while, the crown princess, Princess Wei, and Princess Chu came separately.
The crown prince died unexpectedly, and the crown princess was like a flower that had lost its moisture, quickly withering and withering. is only in his thirties, and he looks like the twilight of the western mountains. Lifeless.
The crown princess stayed in the prince's mansion all day and rarely went out, and today was Queen Ye's birthday. I had to enter the palace, and this is here. squeezing a dry smile makes people look quite unpleasant.
Princess Wei also looked quite low-key, nodded slightly to the concubines and said hello, and then stood quietly aside.
As for Princess Qin, she has been under house arrest in the Qin Palace, and she is not qualified to enter the palace on such a day.
Several princesses. The most proud of the spring breeze is none other than Ye Qiuyun, the princess of Chu. Surrounded by everyone, it has the meaning of the stars holding the moon.
Xu Jinyu didn't want to make peace with Ye Qiuyun. Ye Qiuyun kept staring at Xu Jinyu. After finding a free time, he walked over, his eyes swept over Xu Jinyu's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and he was jealous in his heart. But a smile appeared on his face: "I have heard that you are pregnant." I haven't had a chance to come to congratulate you, but I finally saw it today. ”
Xu Jinyu didn't miss the jealousy that flashed in Ye Qiuyun's eyes, she was secretly vigilant in her heart, and said with a faint smile: "Thank you Princess Chu for your concern." ”
"How long have you been pregnant?" Ye Qiuyun asked pretending to be concerned.
Xu Jinyu replied casually: "It's been about four months." ”
Ye Qiuyun pretended to sigh: "You are pregnant, and your cousin actually led the troops to the border and left you alone in the capital, and his heart is too ruthless." ”
Do the two of them know each other well?
Xu Jinyu didn't bother to take care of her, and pulled the corners of her lips. Laugh without saying a word.
Ye Qiuyun touched a soft nail, a little embarrassed and unwilling. deliberately said again: "Cousin Yuanbai already has Brother Xiao and Brother Ji. It's good that you have a son in this child, but it's okay if you give birth to a daughter. ”
Xu Jinyu raised her eyes and smiled at Ye Qiuyun: "Yes, Zixi also said that he is equally happy whether he gives birth to a son or a daughter." Speaking of which, Princess Chu and His Royal Highness the King of Chu have been married for almost two years! Has there been no good news? I know that there is a temple where incense is very strong, and it is the most spiritual to ask for a child. The princess can go and burn a stick of incense, maybe she will be pregnant soon. ”
Ye Qiuyun: ""
Ye Qiuyun's face turned red and white.
After nearly two years of marriage, she has not been pregnant, and she doesn't know how anxious she is. I don't know how much Qiuzi's incense burned, but her stomach has been flat and has not moved.
Therefore, when she learned that Xu Jinyu was pregnant, she was jealous and hateful. I wanted to use the identity of the princess to add to Xu Jinyu's blockage, but I didn't expect Xu Jinyu to have a sharp tongue and poke her heart in turn.
After Xu Jinyu choked Ye Qiuyun speechless, she did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but only looked at Ye Qiuyun with a smile.
Ye Qiuyun didn't stay, nor did he go, his face was hot.
At this moment, Empress Ye stepped into the main hall.
Ye Qiuyun quickly left by giving Empress Ye a salute. Xu Jinyu looked at Ye Qiuyun's back almost deserted, and felt much more comfortable
Queen Ye sat on the phoenix chair dignifiedly, and everyone stepped forward one by one to salute Queen Ye's birthday.
Because there were many concubines in the palace, they waited for a long time before it was the turn of Ye and Xu Jinyu.
Ye led Xu Jinyu to salute together, and said: "The concubine wishes the queen a long life and good health. ”
"Duchess Anguo, hurry up and excuse me." Queen Ye was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, showing the demeanor of the queen of the world, and said with a pleasant smile: "Today's birthday of the palace, you led the Xu family to congratulate the palace on her birthday, and the palace was very happy in her heart." ”
As she spoke, Queen Ye looked at Xu Jinyu and said with a smile: "Xu, come to the palace and let the palace take a look." ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Jinyu.
Xu Jinyu looked calm and calm, walked in front of Queen Ye with a smile, and blessed slightly: "Jinniang greets the queen's mother." ”
"You are a person with a double body, you have to be extra careful when you stand, sit and lie down, and you don't have to perform these false rituals." Empress Ye's attitude was not to mention how kind it was, and she even took the initiative to take Xu Jinyu's hand: "Yuan Zhao married you, which is also his blessing." Look at you, you've been pregnant for only three or four months."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Qiuyun intentionally or unintentionally.
Who was not a thoughtful and exquisite person present, and they exchanged a knowing look.
Queen Ye is disgusted that Ye Qiuyun has been pregnant for almost two years. It was just before, after all, the king of Chu is young, and there is no need to worry if he has no heirs. But now that the king of Chu and the king of Wei are competing for the position of prince, it is a pity that they do not have a son, and they are worse than the king of Wei.
Queen Ye didn't know what to say openly, and secretly knocked a few times. It was the first time that Ye Qiuyun had no face in front of everyone.
Ye Qiuyun's face was hot, and he quickly lowered his head and bit his lip hard, feeling ashamed and angry.
Her stomach hasn't moved, and she's more anxious than anyone else! But this kind of thing can't be rushed! No matter how hard she tries, she can't get pregnant, and she can't be blamed alone
Queen Ye was still praising Xu Jinyu gently and cordially.
Ye Qiuyun was jealous and hateful in his heart.
Let Xu Jinyu be proud for a while. When the king of Chu sits on the dragon chair in the future, she will become the queen of the six palaces. At that time, she has the means to slowly rectify Xu Jinyu! (To be continued......)
