Chapter 22: The Family Feast I

When the emperor heard this, he turned his head suddenly, he looked at the queen mother, if the queen mother was angry with the emperor as soon as she returned to the palace, and she made trouble to the point of asking the imperial doctor, then tomorrow's morning dynasty is only afraid that he will be verbose by the imperial history.

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry too much, everything is based on the queen mother's body, and no one on my side dares to be presumptuous." The emperor even spoke in a much softer tone, and the Queen Mother took a deep look at him, turned her head and took Wei Baofu's hand.

"Bao girl, you help the mourning family to lie down, it will be fine for a while, the emperor is busy with government affairs, and the mourning family will not delay your time." The Queen Mother didn't want to explain, she didn't care what the emperor would think at the moment.

The emperor shook his let go of his hand, pretending not to care about the back behind him, he seemed to have just seen Wei Baofu, and looked at it carefully, Wei Baofu had an excellent appearance, although he was beautiful, he was not the kind of glamorous that was aggressive.

Looking at it, it was a little familiar, and the original faint dislike for her weakened a lot, "Kang Ping is going to be in time this year, right?" The emperor asked as if carelessly, and the queen mother held Wei Baofu's hand tightly.

Wei Baofu lowered his head, first helped the queen mother to the bed, and then squatted respectfully and saluted, "If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers will be in time at the end of the year, I was too worried about my grandmother just now, and I hope the emperor will forgive me for the rudeness." ”

At this moment, the queen mother turned the corner, and the emperor also returned to his previous calmness, sitting on the chair very casually, looking at Wei Baofu with his cheeks back, and chuckled: "Get up, you don't have to be restrained in front of me, you are very similar to your mother's eyes, and my four princes are also like his mother." ”

Wei Baofu had never seen the fourth prince, but when he heard this, he felt as if he had an extraneous meaning, but it was not good to show it at this moment, so he only said vaguely: "Concubine Shu and my mother are twin sisters, and it is understandable that the two of us are similar. ”

"Sit down, I still remember, your father once told me that he was going to hold a grand ceremony for you, and now that he is gone, you still have my uncle, and I will definitely do it for you."

Wei Baofu was a little puzzled, the emperor's attitude towards her seemed to be a little different from the previous conjecture, could it be because of her appearance that the emperor loved the house and Wu, Wei Baofu didn't dare to think about it.

cautiously replied: "Thank you emperor, Baofu is doing well now, there is nothing else to ask for, as long as grandmother can live a long and healthy life, we will be all in good health." When the emperor heard this, he laughed.

"Sure enough, it's still a daughter's intimacy, if your father is still there, he will spoil you like a jewel, and with you by the side of his mother, I will rest assured, and I will directly call my uncle in the future, that is, as a family, don't see outside."

The Queen Mother has been watching silently from the side, she really wants to interrupt the conversation between the two, but not at the moment, if there is a rumor in the palace that the emperor does not like the county lord, it will not be good for them, so they can only listen quietly according to their temperament.

Zhang Dewang had already led the imperial physician over, and when he came in, he was very surprised to hear the emperor's laughter, and controlled the volume and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived, can you take the pulse of the queen mother immediately." ”

The Queen Mother subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the emperor spoke first: "Bring people in, the Queen Mother has a tired journey, and the phoenix body is a little disobedient, let the Imperial Doctor ask for a safe pulse." "Such a statement qualitates the matter, but it is just a routine request for peace, who would say that the emperor is not filial and sick Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with some incredulity, as if there was an unfamiliar scrutiny in her eyes, and she completely realized that this person was the king of a country, not the child she could treat coldly.

The imperial doctor respectfully stepped forward to check the pulse, and after a while, he considered it and said: "The queen mother is very old, and it is inevitable that she will be a little tired along the way. ”

This imperial doctor is also a human spirit, what to say and what not to say, he is very measured, the queen mother is obviously angry, but it is said that it is caused by fatigue, fortunately, she is also calm at the moment, and she will not be angry because of the lie of the imperial doctor.

"Will the family banquet in the evening have an impact?" This family banquet was specially ordered by the emperor, and the purpose was also to announce the return of the queen mother, neither the queen mother nor the emperor wanted to be absent for no reason, and the imperial doctor said respectfully: "As long as you don't drink alcohol, leave the table early, it's okay." ”

Both of them were relieved, and when the imperial doctor retired, the emperor seemed to have nothing happened, and said with a smile: "After a while, I will accompany the queen mother to the front hall, Kang Ping will take care of it, and it will not be a big problem to come to the queen mother, but my princes and princesses all want to see their grandmother." ”

Although the queen mother was unwilling to make peace with the emperor, she had to compromise in the direction of benefiting them at the moment, "The mourning family hasn't seen the children for a long time, and now that they have grown up, the prince has reached the age when it is time to choose the crown princess." ”

The emperor didn't seem to like the prince very much, and the smile on his face faded a lot, "The prince's marriage has the queen to worry about, if I ask too much, I'm afraid that the queen will not feel at ease." With such a sentence, the Queen Mother also heard what the relationship between the husband and wife was.

"After all, he is the prince of a country, the emperor still has to pay more attention, and the treasure of the mourning family should also be searched, what good ideas does the emperor have." The Queen Mother wanted to know if the emperor would intervene in this matter.

The emperor glanced at Wei Baofu, although she was beautiful, she had the ability to hide herself in a low-key manner, "The queen mother should not say this in front of the child, lest she be embarrassed, if the queen mother has a suitable candidate, let me see first, the princesses and county lords are not more cautious than the princess marrying concubines." ”

Such an attitude is meant to intervene, the Queen Mother did not feel much disappointed, only nodded lightly, Wei Baofu was already prepared in her heart, she is not a worrying character, and it is not too late to wait for anything to happen before making plans.

As soon as the emperor entered Cining Palace, the masters of the harem also got the news, this is a signal, at least the big guys know it, the queen mother still can't be easily offended, at least the emperor still has some affection.

When it came to the scheduled family banquet time, the masters of each palace arrived in advance with their children, although the emperor was not greedy for beauty, but this gathering together, there were many people, and the five princes and three princesses also arrived early.

The prince even brought a concubine to serve him, such a family banquet, with a concubine of no grade, although it is not out of line, but it is also a little unorthodox, and the queen is very unhappy to see it.

The fourth prince Wei Qi was full of smiles, like the most ordinary half-sized guy, teasing the five princes next to him, the two brothers were very harmonious, and now Yao Guifei had not come out yet, and the third prince was a little lost when he was alone, and he was very unhappy when he looked at the scene in the palace.

The eldest princess Wei Baohua served by the queen's side, her biological mother was just a low-ranking nobleman, she was still the queen's personal maid, and there was no maiden family to rely on, and the mother and son could only rely on the queen to survive.

When she saw Wei Baozhen and Wei Baoyue talking to each other, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and whispered in the queen's ear: "Queen Mother, now that the second sister and the third sister have grown up, how can they be so disproportionate, and whisper to arrange people on such an occasion, if outsiders see it, wouldn't it damage my royal majesty." ”

The queen didn't have the time to talk to her now, so she said angrily: "People's mothers and concubines are all from the family, and they teach them, don't stare at these trivial things all day long, and do more serious things when you have time." ”

Wei Baohua was reprimanded by the queen like this, and his heart was even more aggrieved, the queen looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't the palace see your second brother, where did he go to fool around?" ”

The second prince and the eldest princess have been raised by the queen's side since they were children, and although they have been raised by the queen's side, they have never been well educated.

The queen is like raising a kitten and a puppy, calling around to tease when she is free, and their biological mother is timid and afraid of things, so she easily does not dare to offend the queen, so these two people, although they are royal descendants, have no bearing.

The second prince did not learn and did not know, and was let out by the emperor early to open the palace, although he was only seventeen years old, he was a waste who could only eat, drink and have fun, and rarely entered the palace on weekdays.

"After returning to my mother, I don't know where the second brother went, he has always been stingy, and his father doesn't care about him, let's let him go, but how did the prince's brother bring the Tang concubine over, recently my daughter heard that this fox is very favored by the prince's brother, and I'm afraid it's not good if it gets out."

The queen looked at her coldly, "What's wrong, the prince of a country, it's normal to have a concubine, you don't want to be alarmist there." "The eldest princess is most afraid of the queen's anger.

"It's not that the prince's brother wants to choose a concubine, if it spreads, I'm afraid that those noble girls will be unhappy, and I am also for the good of the prince's brother." Although the eldest princess is a fool, what she said is not unreasonable.

The queen rubbed her forehead a little irritably, and said in a low voice: "You go to the prince's side and ask him to send that fox away, don't let the emperor see it." "The emperor is increasingly dissatisfied with the crown prince, and the queen is not unaware.

The eldest princess agreed softly, stood up and walked to the prince's side, the prince was beautiful at the moment, a little absent-minded, and was very impatient to see the eldest princess coming, Wei Baohua was not verbose, and directly said the queen's instructions.

Concubine Tang finally asked the prince for permission to come to the banquet, she had arranged everything, how could she be willing to go, pulled the prince's sleeve, wept, and said delicately: "Your Highness, you have promised the concubine, let's go back in a while, I will serve you well." ”

The meaning of these words, Wei Baohua only felt dirty ears when he heard it, but the prince was on the side, she didn't dare to say more, the prince thought of the matter that the two had discussed, smiled evilly, twisted the little face of the concubine, and said greasyly: "Don't worry, what Gu promised you, he will never break his word." ”

Turning his head to look at Wei Baohua, he said very politely: "You tell the queen mother, you have your own measure, you persuade the queen mother more, don't tell the right and wrong." ”

Wei Baohua shrank and didn't dare to say more, the prince had a violent personality, he was very angry, he was very kind on weekdays, and he actually loved to beat people, Wei Baohua had a deep understanding and didn't dare to provoke him at will.
