The ministers received a notice from the emperor that he was going to hold a banquet in Liuyun Pavilion.

Mingmu is naturally celebrating the queen's happiness, but whether it is a sincere celebration or not, everyone knows it, and everyone with the mentality of watching the biggest gossip in history arrived at the Liuyun Pavilion on time.

Although the banquet in the palace was a little casual, the royal style that should be paid attention to was still gorgeous in front of everyone, and everyone sat down one after another, waiting for the appearance of Jiakangdi for a long time, and of course the concubine did not appear.

Tong Qingyan sat next to Song Zhan, eating the cold melon on the table, and turned her head to talk to him softly.

"It's not that the queen is happy to celebrate the banquet, but if she hasn't come for so long, it's not good to spread it, right?"

Song Zhan silently removed the black seeds from the three slices of cold melon on his table, and then brought it to Tong Qingyan's table, looked at Tong Qingyan with crooked eyebrows, and raised his lips.

"Wait, it'll come."

The interaction between the two fell in the eyes of those who cared about it, and it was particularly boring.

The eldest prince Yang Zhishuo killed the cold melon in three or two bites, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands indiscriminately.

"I can't imagine that the prince of Huai Wang is so amorous, and he actually bows down to a little girl, it's really strange."

These words can be said to be extremely harsh, I thought that Song Zhan was going to have a cold face, but I didn't expect him to only raise his eyebrows.

"Why should the eldest prince be humble, Weichen remembers that most of the palace maids in Concubine Hui's palace have been taken care of by you, which shows that you are also an amorous person, and Weichen is beyond his reach."

Tong Qingyan wanted to pretend that she didn't understand, but after all, she had personally witnessed the eldest prince "taking care" of the women in the palace, and she didn't pretend to be like it, so she simply showed a generous smile in her heart.

Yang Zhishuo didn't expect Song Zhan to openly reply to himself, and just wanted to continue choking, Yang Zhiyi jumped out again and contradicted himself.

"When the eldest brother talks to the prince of Huai, don't forget your identity as the prince, how can you be like a shrew in the market and quarrel openly."

Yang Zhiyi's original intention was still good, he just wanted to organize Yang Zhishuo to say more excessive things to dig a hole for himself, but he didn't expect that this kind of skill of talking around seventeen or eighteen bends did not make Yang Zhishuo understand it at all, but instead taught him a lesson.

"You're a younger brother, is that how you talk to your brother? Actually said that his brother is a shrew?! ”

“......”

Yang Zhiyi was stunned, and Tong Qingyan smiled even brighter.

These princes, all of whom are different from each other, compete with each other on weekdays, but they always love to run on Song Zhan, who is favored by Emperor Jiakang.

Yang Zhishuo and the two brothers fought together, and Song Zhan watched the fire from the other side of the river quite leisurely, if there was a glass of sake and a plate of peanuts on the table at this moment, maybe the posture of watching the play would be put out.

When Yang Zhishuo was still caught pestering Yang Zhiyi to pester a shrew or not, Emperor Jia Kangdi finally came, and the two of them immediately became honest like quails, and no one said a word more.

Song Zhan's sharp eyes found that Emperor Jiakang actually smeared the fat powder used by women today, and Tong Qingyan also found out, not because of good eyesight, but because this face and neck are not the same color.

Seeing that Jia Kangdi was wrong, it was not only Song Zhan and Tong Qingyan who came, everyone's eyes swept over, and Jia Kangdi's hand under the table was tight and loose, loose and tight, and calmed down for a while before raising a glass to drink with everyone.

Tong Huaiyuan sat honestly in his seat, looking forward to serving, he was not interested in paying attention to Jiakangdi's strangeness, he couldn't eat his daughter's craftsmanship in Liuyun Pavilion today, in line with the idea of filling his stomach, he almost had a plate on the last dish.

Some people say that the son of the prince is blessed by God, and some people say that the prince and queen Dehui six palaces moved the heavens, so he got this prince with a sick and weak body, which is simply the chosen son.

After a few glasses of wine, these civil officials have already praised the queen and the concubine who has not yet been born.

Jia Kangdi was very depressed in his heart, Jiang Ronghua also locked himself in the Lanyue Pavilion, and after a big quarrel that day, Jia Kangdi was forced to live on Penglai Island next to the Lanyue Pavilion.

It is said that Penglai Island is actually a building surrounded by water on three sides, if the concubine in the capital behaves like this, she would have been put on seventeen or eighteen books by those people in the imperial history platform, but now in the palace, the concubine is so pampered and rude, as long as Emperor Jia Kangdi does not turn his face, no one will talk about her boringly.

This confirms the sentence, the concubine who is spoiled by himself has to be spoiled if she is slapped in the face, otherwise her face will hurt even more.

Everyone didn't know the real situation in Lanyue Pavilion, they only knew that the concubine smashed a lot of things to vent the jealousy in her heart, and the matter of Emperor Jiakang's slap did not spread out, if it was spread out, then the concubine should be left out in the cold for a while, otherwise where the emperor's face was placed, he would have to make a few jokes.

Everyone had some speculation about Jia Kangdi's behavior of smearing fat powder, but no one dared to say it, for fear that Long Yingwei would stab Jia Kangdi in the next moment, and his black gauze hat would not be guaranteed, so as not to affect the lives of the whole family.

The banquet with different thoughts of the monarchs and ministers ended hastily, and there was probably only Tong Huaiyuan who had eaten a full stomach in the hall.

Song Zhan was left behind by Emperor Jiakang, Tong Qingyan and Su Yao slowly walked back to the courtyard, and as soon as they left the Liuyun Pavilion, Ran Dong couldn't wait to ask softly.

"The queen is pregnant, so are we going back to Beijing soon?"

Ran Dong's question Su Yao also wanted to ask, it stands to reason that the emperor should not be able to sit still and leave for Beijing immediately, but after this banquet, Su Yao really couldn't see that Emperor Jia Kangdi had the slightest intention of going back.

Tong Qingyan looked left and right to see that no one was paying attention to this side, and then replied softly.

"If our emperor doesn't return to Beijing, don't you have to look at that person's attitude."

Su Miao and Ran Dong looked at Tong Qingyan and pointed in the direction vaguely, and after a little thought, they understood who it was.

Also, the emperor is famous for his love for the concubine, and it is not impossible for the concubine to be reluctant to go back.

The queen is pregnant with a son-in-law, and the concubine is not the most annoyed person, and now the four concubines are afraid that they will have trouble sleeping and eating, and it is not only Jia Kangdi who is smiling at the banquet.

If the queen has no children, if she lives longer, she can still get a queen mother to do, no matter which prince ascends the throne as the emperor now, she must respect the queen as the queen mother.

The four concubines all have the dream of becoming the queen mother of real power one day, which is the ultimate status of harem women, and now it is revealed that the queen is pregnant with a son-in-law, which is a bright roadblock.

Tong Qingyan has a hunch, I'm afraid that if she doesn't have to wait until she returns to Beijing, there will be a storm in the palace.

People's hearts are always greedy, in this world where there is no quarrel and there is a fight, no one can be pure-hearted and have few desires and do not eat the fireworks of the world, and there are people and things to fight for in life, or for themselves or for the people they care about, or for fame or for profit or love, in short, no one can escape the calculation.

Small merchants and hawkers still have to deal with each other, not to mention that it involves that unique position, and none of the four concubines would want this concubine to really come to this world.
