Chapter 545: Palace Banquet (2)
Concubine Wei Xian looked at Concubine Gu Shu again.
Princess Shouning is really not so right!
Don't say anything else. Princess Shouning was so affectionate and infatuated with Yuan Silan that day, everyone saw it. Yuan Silan later died under He Qi's knife, in the final analysis, it was also because the Son of Heaven ordered Yuan Silan to go to the border army to persuade him to surrender. How could Princess Shouning have no resentment in her heart?
Concubine Gu Shu was also very surprised in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Princess Shouning carefully.
Princess Shouning still looks proud and willful. If you can pretend to be like this, you won't be Princess Shouning. Well, there is only one explanation left.
Princess Shouning's illness must be related to this.
Empress Pei's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and there was a silent warning in her eyes. Everyone suppressed the doubts in their hearts and opened their mouths to laugh.
After another moment, the palace maid came to report that the second prince had entered the palace.
Everyone's eyes looked at it in unison.
The second prince obviously picked it up today. A year of wine and extravagance has left a lingering mark on his face. and the fat figure, wearing the prince's clothes, is no longer as tall as before.
"The son has seen the queen mother." The second prince respectfully bowed his hand to say goodbye.
The hatred in Queen Pei's eyes flashed, and her voice was quite gentle: "Calm down!" I haven't seen you in a few days, so sit down and talk to me for a while. ”
The second prince should be respectful.
As soon as she sat down, Princess Shouning couldn't wait to open her mouth and said, "Second brother, why did you suddenly become so fat?" The queen mother said that you led the errand out of Beijing, and I returned to the palace for a few months, but I couldn't see you. I almost can't admit it when I see it today. How did you become like this? ”
In these words, there is really a lot of information.
Everyone was stunned in their hearts.
However, the second prince, after entering the palace, he was reminded by the chamberlain, and he was mentally prepared, and said in the voice of Princess Shouning: "I have been away from Beijing for a year, and I have worked errands outside, and I have gained a lot of weight because I am more careless in eating and drinking." ”
Princess Shouning flattened her mouth with a little disgust: "It's ugly." ”
Second Prince: "......"
The second prince twitched the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a smile: "How can you be a sister who dislikes her brother like this." ”
Empress Pei took over the conversation with a smile: "You can't blame Shouning for disliking you." Look at you, this year you will put aside the practice of riding and archery. Don't be lazy in the future, go to court on an errand, don't disappoint your father. ”
The second prince responded respectfully: "The sons and daughters must follow the teachings of the queen mother. ”
Empress Pei asked the second princess again: "How sick is the Jiang family?" ”
The second prince replied with a guilty face: "The Jiang family was infected with wind and cold, and he lay on the bed for a few days, but he didn't get much better. Erchen was also worried that she would pass the illness of her mother when she entered the palace, so he didn't let her hold on. It's the New Year's palace banquet, and the Jiang family can't enter the palace. The son-in-law replaced the Jiang family and confessed to his mother. ”
Empress Pei knew what was going on, and her heart became more and more disgusted. said lightly: "Since this is the case, let her have a good life." ”
After a pause, he said: "When it comes to the Shangyuan Festival, you can lead the Jiang family into the palace together!" ”
This is also a disguised beating to warn the second prince not to bully ~ abuse the Jiang clan again.
The second prince complied.
Empress Pei glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Is this Brother Heng?" Hurry up and hug it and let Hongu see it. ”
Brother Heng was born strong, and the nurse hugged him all the way, and his arms were so tired that he was sore. At this time, he was about to hug Brother Heng forward, but Brother Heng was clamoring to walk by himself.
Empress Pei smiled: "Brother Heng wants to go, let him go by himself." The hall was covered with soft blankets, and it didn't hurt even if you fell. ”
Only then did the nurse breathe a sigh of relief and put Brother Heng down.
Brother Heng was watched by everyone, not timid at all, and staggered to Queen Pei. Vaguely shouted "grandmother".
Empress Pei smiled and praised: "Brother Heng is really smart, he can be called grandmother at such a young age." Immediately ordered the palace maid to take out the prepared greeting gift.
Brother Heng was taught very well by his mother, and thanked him with his little hands. The dough-like villain, learning to be an adult holding his fists, looks not to mention how cute.
Queen Pei dislikes the second prince, but she loves Brother Heng very much. She reached out and picked up Brother Heng and put Brother Heng on her lap. Concubine Gu Shufei and Concubine Wei Xian immediately made fun of it, and praised Brother Heng for being smart and obedient with a smile.
"It is said that a mother is wise, and the son born is wise." Empress Pei said with a smile: "You can see from Brother Heng that there is a good daughter-in-law in this palace!" ”
So, everyone began to praise the second princess again.
When the second prince heard everything in his ears, he only felt harsh, and he sneered in his heart.
What's so good about Jiang Min?
Outsiders think she is virtuous and docile. As everyone knows, she has a big mind. I didn't take my husband to heart at all. thought that he had the support of his mother's family, so he dared to disobey his wishes.
Hum! He let her know what a husband is for heaven. Angered him, she didn't want to live a good life.
Only Princess Shouning looked at the white and cute Brother Heng in a daze, and her heart was at a loss.
When did the second brother get married?
Why did you suddenly have a child?
Fortunately, her condition has improved recently, and she no longer has headaches at every turn. Princess Kangning, who was beside her, pulled Princess Shouning's sleeve and spoke in a low voice.
Princess Shouning hummed absentmindedly, and couldn't help but glance at Brother Heng again.
……
When Emperor Xuanhe led the six princes to come, everyone in the Jiaofang Hall arrived, smiling one by one, and there was a scene of heavenly happiness.
Empress Pei got up, led the harem concubines and princesses, etc., and saluted together.
Emperor Xuanhe was in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "No courtesy." There are no outsiders today, just be casual and don't have to be restrained. ”
The familiar voice entered her ears, Zheng Jieyu's body trembled slightly, and her nose was full of sourness.
The emperor is ruthless!
Twenty years of affection were beaten into the dust overnight.
For more than a year, she has thought about him the most, and he has hated and resented him the most. But now, she can't show the slightest resentment, and she has to thank God with gratitude. Then sat quietly and watched him sit beside Queen Pei, like a family of three with the six princes.
There are so many concubines in the palace, all of them are women of the Son of Heaven. The princes, princesses, grandsons, and granddaughters are all the blood of the Son of Heaven.
But the only ones who were really looked at by Emperor Xuanhe were Queen Pei and the six princes.
Emperor Xuanhe looked at Empress Pei's eyes with warmth, and looked at the eyes of the six princes with the love of a father.
It's not just Zheng Jieyu.
Anyone can see it.
The eldest prince was jealous in his heart. The second prince sneered in his heart. The four princes and the five princes each looked away, and they thought to themselves. The young Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince didn't think about it that much.
Anyway, they are young and have not been taken very seriously. It's been ignored for a long time.
