Chapter 51: Entering the Palace for a Banquet
After the song and dance performance, plates of delicious dishes were served to the table by the palace people.
Shen Lianyue received everyone's congratulations and thanked everyone for coming to her birthday banquet with tea instead of wine.
The palace concubine who had good things said with a smile: "How can the crown princess replace wine with tea, this fruit wine is not intoxicating!" ”
Shen Lianyue pursed her lips and smiled, and the queen took over: "You don't know, the crown princess is pregnant now, and the wine is undrinkable!" ”
One sentence shocked a thousand waves, and everyone congratulated one after another, praising the crown princess as a blessed person!
Du Qinxin was also happy for Shen Lianyue when he heard it, the prince favored him, and now he is pregnant again, which is better than himself.
Zhao Qizhen's eyes looked at Du Qinxin from time to time, and she noticed the fleeting loss on her face, and she was very distressed.
All the dishes are ready.
Zhao Qizhen retracted the gaze that lingered on Du Qinxin, looked at the dishes on the jade plate and said: "This is the guinea fish that has just been sent to the palace in Jiangnan today, I heard that it is very delicious, you can taste it, queen mother!" ”
The queen smiled and took over: "Let's try it!" ”
Everyone should pick up the silver chopsticks and want to taste it, but they just tasted the tenderness of the fish.
"Gross... Vomit..."Two or three sounds of nausea and vomiting made everyone put down the silver chopsticks in their hands and look at them.
The queen looked at Shen Lianyue beside her and asked with concern, "But it's uncomfortable?" ”
Zhao Qizhen looked at Du Qinxin, frowned slightly, and saw her covering her lips with an apologetic expression.
Everyone heard it just now, in addition to Shen Lianyue, Du Qinxin also had symptoms of nausea.
Concubine Zhen said with a disdainful face: "Does Princess Rui dislike this dish?" How's this reaction? Or are you pregnant? ”
Du Qinxin hurriedly got up and knelt down: "The concubine lost her honor and disturbed the banquet of the crown princess!" I hope the princess will forgive me! ”
The queen was planning to find fault with her, but she didn't want her to send it to the door by herself, so she said with doubts in her heart: "If Princess Rui dislikes it, if she doesn't come, why bother!" ”
"Today's concubine is unwell, disturbing the banquet, and I also invite the queen, His Royal Highness the prince, and the princess to atone for her sins!" Du Qinxin didn't know why, as soon as the fish meat was put in his mouth, his stomach rolled in an instant, and he couldn't suppress the feeling of vomiting.
"Queen Mother, the imperial sister-in-law must not have meant it!" Zhao Qizhen also opened his mouth to intercede for Du Qinxin.
Shen Lianyue raised her eyes to look at the crown prince, and only spoke for a long time, "Yes, Queen Mother!" Princess Rui has always had a bad spleen and stomach, and her sons have disturbed everyone's interest! ”
"The difference between the crown princess's words, you can't smell this fishy smell because you are pregnant, is it possible that Princess Chengrui is also pregnant?" Concubine Zhen does not give up, and she relies on the queen.
The queen's face was not good-looking, and she stared at Du Qinxin, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Princess Rui is pregnant?" ”
Du Qinxin was stunned when asked, not to mention that she was not pregnant, even if she had such a scruple as a pregnant queen, it would be inappropriate. Shaking his head, he replied: "Back to the queen's words, no!" It's just that I've been feeling unwell lately! ”
"That being the case, go and call the imperial doctor, if the imperial doctor diagnoses that he is indeed unwell, the palace will not say anything. But if not, you have to give this palace a good explanation, why is this so? ”
Concubine Zhen looks like she wants Du Qinxin to look good, and she must have a back hand.
The palace people were ordered to go to pass on the imperial doctor, and a good birthday banquet became like this because of Du Qin's heart, in addition to Du Qin's guilt, Shen Lianyue was also a little apologetic, if it wasn't for her insistence on leaving Du Qin's heart, it wouldn't be like this.
Zhao Qizhen knew that the queen was deliberately making things difficult for Du Qinxin, and he was reluctant, but he couldn't do anything.
Everyone waited for the imperial doctor to come, and they didn't dare to say much.
After a while, a white-bearded old lady was ushered in.
"Wechen has seen the queen mother, His Royal Highness the Prince..."
The queen asked him to get up and bluntly asked him to check Princess Rui's pulse to see if Princess Rui was unwell. This is the queen asked the imperial doctor of the peace vein, the queen believes him, and he just wants to verify his guess by going to such great lengths.
The old lady doctor took the order and came to Du Qinxin, put a silk handkerchief on Du Qinxin's wrist, and calmed down to carefully diagnose the pulse.
Everyone stared at the Imperial Doctor, wanting to see what was going on.
After a while, the imperial doctor withdrew his hand, glanced at Du Qinxin, turned around and said: "Back to the queen mother, Princess Rui's body is fine, but her spleen and stomach are a little weak, I am afraid that it will be more uncomfortable after a while!" ”
After the doctor finished speaking, everyone didn't understand too much, is this okay?
Concubine Zhen was impatient and asked, "What does the Imperial Doctor mean by this?" ”
"Princess Rui is now pregnant, and her spleen and stomach are incompatible, so I'm afraid I can bear it in the first three months!"
The imperial doctor's words exploded in Du Qinxin's ears like a thunderbolt, and his eyes widened, "What did you say?" ”
"Princess Rui, you are pregnant, and you will be more than a month! But judging from the pulse, you have to take care of yourself, otherwise you will suffer some sin! ”
After listening to the queen's chest rising and falling, she didn't expect it to be true. Suddenly, he remembered something and raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Yiguan.
The woman nodded slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Princess Rui is pregnant, I don't know it, why don't you feel happy at all now that you know?" ”
Then several people looked at Du Qin and whispered.
Du Qinxin was just too surprised, he had only been with Zhao Qirui twice, the last time was more than ten days ago, how could he be pregnant, could it be that he was pregnant for the first time?
My head was confused, and I didn't react for a long time.
After listening to what the imperial doctor said, Shen Lianyue looked at Zhao Qizhen, saw Zhao Qizhen's face was pale, and hoped that he could let go of Du Qin's heart because of this.
The discussion became louder and louder, and the queen pretended to be angry when she saw that it was almost over: "What are you whispering about? ”
"The queen's mother atoned for her sins, and the concubines talked a lot, but it was just..."
"Say whatever you want!" This woman was originally arranged by the queen to embarrass Du Qinxin, although there was such a small episode, but the purpose did not change.
"A few days ago, there were some rumors in the market, saying... It is said that Princess Rui had a private meeting with the temple..."The woman finished speaking intermittently, and some of those who heard about it also looked at Du Qinxin with strange eyes.
Du Qinxin listened to the woman's words, and was very angry in his heart, and just wanted to open his mouth to accuse him, not wanting to be taken by Zhao Qizhen.
"What are you talking nonsense? Dare to slander Princess Rui! Zhao Qizhen stunned everyone with a roar, especially the official's wife, who looked at the queen with some confusion.
The queen looked at Zhao Qizhen angrily. He dared to openly defend Du Qin's heart, if anyone with a heart would notice..."
Seeing that the queen did not accuse the prince, the official's wife hurriedly knelt on the ground to make amends, "The concubine deserves to die!" The prince is angry..."
