Chapter 135: Birthday Banquet
"Oh, tell me, how to deal with it fairly?" asked Liu Xu in a different posture.
"This ......," the princess thought for a while and said, "There are two aspects, one is that the third lady who cheats must be dealt with seriously, and at the same time, the second lady who has been wronged because of this matter must be given an explanation." ”
The third lady knelt in front of Liu Xu and cried: "Lord Wang, how many years have we known each other? Don't you know who the concubine is? Who knows if Xue'er and the imperial doctor were bribed to frame the concubine? Besides, at that time, the concubine was unconscious due to excessive blood loss, and at that time, the second lady was the initiator, and the princess was more active than anyone else!"
"The concubine didn't expect things to be so complicated at that time, she just thought that this matter would have a great impact on the Qi Palace, and she wanted to solve it as soon as possible!" the princess blamed herself, "It's also to blame the concubine, if only the concubine could have thought more, investigated more, and didn't draw conclusions so quickly." Everything is the fault of the concubine's negligence, please punish the prince. ”
Zhao Xu thought silently for a while, forgot to glance at Mo Ziyu, and asked, "What about you, what do you think?"
"The concubine is soft-spoken, but there is something I still want to say. Mo Ziyu said, "False pregnancy is not a real pregnancy after all, it can't give birth to an heir, but it will take a considerable risk, what good does the third lady do to her? Is it just trying to frame the second lady? This medicine is extremely damaging to her body, and it is possible that she will be difficult to conceive in the future, this is not a way to kill a thousand enemies and damage eight hundred, but a way to cut off the way back, and any person with a normal head will not make such a plan." ”
"Difficult to conceive?" the third lady turned even paler, sat on the ground weakly, and smiled bitterly.
Zhao Xu glanced at the third lady with pity, then raised his eyes to look at Mo Ziyu and said, "You mean someone framed the third lady?"
"Yes. Mo Ziyu thought for a while, lowered his eyes and said.
Liu Xu was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and said: "It seems that this matter is not so simple! The biggest doubt is still the matter of that recipe, which is the source of everything, and it is necessary to figure out that recipe first." Princess, hand Xue'er over to Qingyue for interrogation, there are some things that need to be more understood!"
The princess's face changed, and she lowered her eyes and said, "Yes." ”
Mo Ziyu glanced at the princess, the so-called high is suspicious, because this matter is difficult for the third lady to conceive, the second lady was deprived of the name of the side concubine, and the princess is the real beneficiary, so the suspicion is the greatest, she can't understand, why does the princess still want to participate in this matter, instead of letting this matter pass as soon as possible, is she so confident that even if others suspect it, she will not come up with half of the evidence?
"Come on, Mrs. Fusan will go down to rest first, she won't participate in tonight's night banquet for the time being. Liu Xu said, "The rest of the people should prepare, set off later, don't let the Queen Mother wait." ”
"Yes. ”
The princess raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Ziyu deeply, and then hooked her lips and smiled, this smile had an eerie feeling in it. The second lady glared at Mo Ziyu fiercely, and then smiled incomprehensibly, which made people a little confused.
All in all, the matter of the third lady's fake pregnancy has not passed, but the ball has been pushed back to the side of the princess and the second lady. Thinking about it, the truth may be related to the Taoist priest that Mo Ziyu has been asking Qing Yue to find, but this person is really mysterious, and there has been no movement for so long.
Later, except for the third lady, the rest of the Qi Wangfu entered the palace together to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday.
In fact, the last time the female relatives of Zijing prayed for the Queen Mother in Lingyin Temple, but there was that kind of unpleasant thing, and His Majesty wanted to cancel this year's birthday, for fear that the Queen Mother would be taboo and unhappy. However, the Queen Mother herself didn't care much about the blessing, but felt that it was a good time to be able to gather with relatives and friends today.
The group got out of the carriage and entered the palace in a soft sedan chair. The banquet was held in Qingyuan Palace, and it has been Yun Guifei who has been busy in order to organize the banquet all these years.
Unlike the previous banquets, everyone sat separately and watched the singing and dancing. There was no singing and dancing silk bamboo at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, everyone sat around a few round tables like a family, as the Queen Mother said, eating and drinking like this is a family.
Of course, this time also pays attention to this, generally speaking, men and women are separated, and they are ranked according to the dignity of the old and the young. A few princes and county kings have a table, several princesses and princesses have a table, a few ladies have a table, and the queen mother's table, except for His Majesty and Yun Guifei, the others are all celebrities who came in the queen mother's side.
The Queen Mother loves the younger generations, so she naturally called the prince to her side, and this year, she also called Concubine Su and Mo Ziyu, which is also a great honor.
Even in his previous life, Mo Ziyu had never dined with Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and tonight was quite nervous, like sitting on pins and needles.
She took a look at all the people in the house, only Liu Ling didn't see Fu Hui, but she was afraid that she was also distressed when she was giving marriage. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart, and she didn't know what it was like to make a wedding dress for her?
Liu Changqing is very well-behaved, and he knows how to please the Queen Mother, and he made the Queen Mother laugh in a few words, and only hugged this little clever ghost into his arms.
Liu Changqing is not the first imperial grandson, but he is outstanding in terms of appearance, conduct, talent, and intelligence, and His Majesty is also very satisfied with this grandson. Some people speculate that His Majesty will be more interested in belonging to King Qi for the sake of this imperial grandson.
"The prince is getting more and more handsome, and people are very happy to see it. King Qin is blessed, if the child can be born smoothly, I am afraid that he will be called the imperial grandfather at this time. Concubine Yun Guifei sighed and said, "If you don't say these disappointing words today, I haven't seen the prince for a few days, and the prince doesn't seem to look very similar to King Qi, but more like his mother, what do you see?"
Mo Ziyu also remembered the past when she heard the first half of the sentence, her heart was sour, and when she heard the second half of the sentence, her heart tightened, to be honest, the prince did not want King Qi, although she was not very impressed by the former prince, but the prince did have some shadows of the former prince.
Concubine Su smiled slightly: "The concubine thinks that the prince looks more like the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, take a closer look, this eyebrow, this eye, this nose, especially this mouth, is it very similar to the Queen Mother?"
The Queen Mother looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Don't say it, it's quite similar." Like when Your Majesty was a child, it was simply carved out of a mold! Your Majesty, look at it, these eyebrows and eyes are not exactly the same as yours!"
His Majesty did not speak, but smiled with a sense of pride.
Mo Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Concubine Su.
"Hey, by the way, how is King Qin's marriage prepared?" the Queen Mother remembered these words and immediately asked.
"The wedding date is just after the year, let Qin Tianjian see the days, the twenty-sixth day of the first month is a good day!" Yun Guifei said with a smile.
"Well, you have to hurry, get married early, and start a branch for the royal family early!"
