Chapter 50: The Birthday Feast
If Zhao Qirui said this a few days ago, Du Qin's heart would have responded, but now he is not happy, and Shen Lianyue repeatedly told him to come.
"Forgive the concubine for her life!"
"Have you figured it out?" Zhao Qirui was wholeheartedly good for her, but she didn't understand, and her face was a little ugly.
Du Qinxin looked at Zhao Qirui, he was still so handsome, but how could this heart be capricious, like honey at good times and frost at this time.
"Hmmm! The concubine body has been thought about! ”
Zhao Qirui was irritable, and when he saw that she didn't listen to persuasion, he threw his sleeves out of the durian orchard!
Du Qinxin bit his lip and held back tears.
Du Qinxin didn't sleep well this night, and when he got up early the next morning to rinse his mouth, he felt nauseous and nauseated, Su Ling wanted to call the doctor to take a look but was stopped by Du Qinxin, and it was estimated that he hadn't eaten well in the past few days, and his spleen and stomach were not good.
This has been the case before. Du Qin insisted on refusing to ask the doctor, only saying that he would have a good meal and that he would be fine in one day.
Du Qinxin ate a lot of refreshing pickles and melons for breakfast, and Su Qing was a little relieved.
After the meal, Du Qinxin planned to go out of the house, tomorrow was Shen Lianyue's birthday, and he had to go out of the house to buy a birthday gift in a hurry.
When he was about to arrive at the gate of the mansion, he saw Zhao Qirui returning from a distance in court clothes, and Du Qinxin paused and stopped stepping forward. Zhao Qirui also seemed to see her, and walked forward without stopping.
Su Qing was anxious in her eyes, why couldn't the princess and the prince get better for two days and be like this.
"Niangniang, it's better for you to listen to the prince, don't go to the palace."
Du Qinxin also couldn't think about it, but Shen Lianyue's words in the letter were sincere, and it was really difficult to refuse.
"It's okay, I'll be back tomorrow after saying a few words to the crown princess!"
The three masters and servants went shopping for a long time, chose a more favorite gift and went home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned home, I heard that the prince went to Liuli Pavilion again and had lunch with Mrs. Zhuang. Du Qin's heart was sullen and pretended not to care.
Zhao Qirui's move was intended to be seen by Du Qinxin, and today he retired to Li Yi and talked about his deceased wife, because Li Yi said a few more words with other women, and he was jealous and made a big fuss. Li Yi now recalls that she realized that her wife cared about him so much. Zhao Qirui thought about it, if Du Qinxin cared about whether he would be like this, he would make trouble with himself and let him know that she cared about him.
That's why I had dinner with the green kite at noon, and I deliberately let people release the news to Du Qin.
Who knew that Zhao Qirui stayed until the evening, and there was no news from the durian garden, Changfeng went to inspect and found that Du Qin should eat and drink, and there was no displeasure at all!
When Zhao Qirui learned this, he sneered and went back to his yard.
Xu didn't care about herself at all!
Early the next morning, Du Qinxin got up early, suppressed some discomfort in his chest, and asked Su Ling to freshen up and dress herself.
Today's Shen Lianyue's birthday banquet is not a big event, and it is located in the East Palace. Only a few official wives were invited, as well as relatives of Shen Lianyue's mother's family.
Du Qinxin was still early, and Cuiliu led her into Shen Lianyue's bedroom.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Du Qin still felt a little happy in his heart.
Shen Lianyue didn't think so here, and the things that were pressed in her heart made her not want to see Du Qinxin at all, but she was helpless.
"Crown Princess, Princess Rui has arrived!" Cuiliu came to report.
Shen Lianyue smiled twice in the mirror, she felt a little fake, and she didn't know if Du Qinxin could see it.
"Please come in!"
Du Qin was led by the palace people and entered Shen Lianyue's bedroom. When I saw a familiar friend, I hurriedly saluted.
"The concubine has seen the crown princess! I wish Niangniang eternal youth and a long life! ”
"Get up quickly, why do you need these false courtesies between you and me!" Shen Lianyue stepped forward to help her up.
Seeing that Du Qin's heart was so amazing and moving, he felt bitter. I didn't care about it before, but now it seems that I am indeed not as beautiful as Du Qinxin.
Sitting down to watch the tea, Shen Lianyue was a little uneasy, thinking that the prince would also be present in a while. I feel very uncomfortable.
Du Qinxin gave the birthday gift he prepared to Shen Lianyue, Shen Lianyue took it, and asked Cuiliu to put it away without opening it, Du Qinxin was stunned, she always felt that she had something on her mind, and she felt that she was too late to ask.
Before a cup of tea was drunk, people came to congratulate one after another, Du Qinxin had seen most of them, and she also smiled and nodded when she saluted.
With outsiders, the two have no chance to be alone.
Du Qin wanted to talk to Shen Lianyue, and he went back first when he was unwell. Her identity in the East Palace is more embarrassing, and the gift has been delivered, so it's better to go back.
Shen Lianyue also wanted her to go, but remembering the queen's explanation, she insisted on keeping her.
Du Qin is in a dilemma, Zhao Qizhen is back!
Everyone saluted and greeted each other, and Zhao Qizhen motioned for everyone to get up, staring directly at Shen Lianyue's side, his face full of tenderness.
But Shen Lianyue could see clearly, what he was looking at was not himself, he clenched his jade hand under his sleeve and greeted him with a smile.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, why did you come back so early today?"
"Today's birthday, how can this palace be late! The imperial sister-in-law is also here? As soon as Zhao Qizhen came in, his eyes fell on Du Qinxin, he hadn't seen her since he got married, although there was news of her every day, he couldn't satisfy the desire in his heart at all.
"The concubine has seen the prince!" Du Qinxin kept his head down, and when he heard the prince ask himself, he looked up slightly.
Zhao Qizhen smiled, which was a response. Turned his head and said to Shen Lianyue: "You guys are chatting, this palace will go back and change clothes!" ”
Shen Lianyue felt bitter in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face. "Yes!"
Sending the prince away, Shen Lianyue was obviously not as enthusiastic as before, and sat down for a while, and the palace people came to pay tribute, and it was time for a banquet.
Shen Lianyue motioned for everyone to go to the banquet, but Du Qinxin walked at the end, and he really didn't want to go.
"Sister Xin'er, you must not leave, you are the best with me, if you leave, I will be sad!"
Hearing Shen Lianyue say this, Du Qin was very embarrassed, and he really couldn't refuse her, so he went to the banquet hard.
The fact that Shen Lianyue is pregnant has not yet been made public, except for the crown prince and queen, it is the Shen Mansion.
The queen is planning to tell the world about this opportunity, Shen Lianyue has the emperor's eldest grandson in her belly!
When the banquet was seated, Du Qin wanted to sit far away and try not to be conspicuous. But helplessly, Shen Lianyue let her sit in the first position below.
After everyone sat down for a while, Mrs. Shen came alone, Du Qinxin got up and said a few words to her, and then heard the palace people come to greet the queen with the harem funeral concubine.
After everyone knelt down and saluted, everyone sat down, and the queen looked at Du Qinxin in the first position, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she clenched her teeth.
Du Qinxin sat obediently, just looking forward to the end of the banquet!
The prince put a lot of thought into Shen Lianyue's birthday, in addition to singing and dancing performances, a group of half-human-tall dolls actually came, and danced a very festive and playful dance, which made everyone laugh.
Shen Lianyue also had a smile on the corners of her eyes, who could know the bitterness in her heart, and who would dare to say that she was not loved!
