Chapter 404: The banquet set up by the Queen Mother

On this day, the Queen Mother specially asked people to hold a banquet in the palace, it is said that because she got a very good treasure, so she wanted to share it with everyone, and specially let those ministers and princes bring their families into the palace to watch.

When Nangong Haotian knew the news, a trace of inscrutable light instantly slipped through his eyes, but thinking back to Gu Qinglan's current child in her belly had been three months old, and it was basically very stable, so she thought about it for a while and took her into the palace with her.

"Is that really what His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince said? You want to take me into the palace? Gu Qinglan, who was still honestly raising a baby in his yard, was instantly surprised when he heard what the housekeeper told him.

"Yes, Concubine Niangniang, please let the girl next to you dress up for you, the carriage is already waiting at the gate of the mansion." The housekeeper also knew that this side concubine had not been favored by His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince for a long time, so her tone was also very quick when she spoke.

"Okay, you go and talk to Your Highness, and I'll be there later." Gu Qinglan could be said to be very happy, and directly said such a thing to the housekeeper with a smile, and then went to let the girl dress up herself.

The housekeeper didn't continue to stand where he was, he quickly turned around and left Gu Qinglan's courtyard, and went to Nangong Haotian, who was sitting and waiting in the carriage at the door.

At the same time, the Prince's Mansion also got the news that when Nangong Jingchen was struggling with who to take with him when he entered the palace, Gu Qingshang suddenly became ill and hid in the courtyard and was reluctant to go.

I don't know why, Nangong Jingchen always felt that her crown princess was clearly avoiding herself at this time, she just wanted to let herself bring the side concubine Gu Lianyi over.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and without thinking about it, he strode directly to the courtyard where Gu Qingshang was, he wanted to see if this person was really sick or pretending to be sick.

Gu Qingshang was indeed pretending to be sick, because he really didn't want to go to the palace, knowing that the Queen Mother didn't like him, and if he had to stick his face up, that feeling was really uncomfortable, so it was better to lie directly that he was sick and could escape the catastrophe.

"I heard...... Is the crown princess sick? "I didn't expect that at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would suddenly come to the courtyard of the Crown Princess, recalling that his master had been pretending to be sick all along, and he didn't know what to say in an instant.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess is sick and it is inconvenient to go into the palace with you to attend the banquet, so ......" Thinking back to what the master told him before, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down, they would have to risk their lives to stop His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Humph! This prince thinks that she obviously doesn't want to go to the banquet with this prince, so she is pretending to be sick! Where is the crown princess now? ”

Nangong Jingchen looked at the two girls in front of him who were talking and talking, and instantly knew that the people inside were obviously pretending to be sick, so he didn't blink his eyes, stared at the closed door, and asked such a sentence.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess Niangniang has just taken the medicine and has already fallen asleep in the room." After all, the punch line is the person who has been serving the crown princess, so when he heard the prince Nangong Jingchen ask himself like this, he was also unhurried when he answered.

Listening to the witty answer, Nangong Jingchen subconsciously glanced at it, this girl with a very calm face, didn't say anything more, and waved her sleeves directly to the door and stretched out her hand to open the door and walked in.

The moment the door was pushed open, the very strong smell of medicine that poured out of the room could not be concealed, and the sound of a woman coughing came from time to time in the room.

This made Nangong Jingchen subconsciously frown, thinking that the crown princess was really sick, and it was not that she didn't want to go to the banquet with her, so she was pretending to be sick.

Thinking of this, I instantly felt very angry, and turned directly to the very nervous witty words standing at the door, and the two of them said something like this:

"What's the matter, the crown princess is sick like this, don't you know to ask the imperial doctor to come and show the crown princess?"

Originally, he was worried that his master was pretending to be sick and being seen through by His Royal Highness the Prince, but when he heard these words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still knelt directly on the ground with the words that shook him just now.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the sin, the Nubians have already invited the Imperial Doctor to the Crown Princess, and the slave maid also told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess just took the medicine and fell asleep, and now it may be because of the cough, so she ......"

Punch Yumian said such a thing in a panic, and Lianzhu, who was kneeling with her on the side, couldn't help but nod at him.

Nangong Jingchen stood at the door like this, smelling the smell of medicine wafting out of the room, half of his original anger dissipated in an instant, and then looked at the two girls who knelt down in front of him to apologize, and finally didn't say anything else.

Directly dropped a sentence, "Let the crown princess give birth to the crown princess and turn around to see the princess." Then he hurriedly left the courtyard where Gu Qingshang was now, and very reluctantly took Gu Lianyi, the side concubine he had just married a few months ago, to the palace to attend the banquet.

It's just that in the process of participating in the banquet, the people around him could see at a glance that Nangong Jingchen was absent-minded, and even Gu Lianyi couldn't help but be angry when he saw His Royal Highness the Prince's appearance, and only tore the handkerchief in his hand.

I thought that it was okay if the crown princess was sick and couldn't come, but it was a pity that His Royal Highness the crown prince lost his sense of proportion for a woman like this.

However, the queen mother, the leader of this banquet, did not feel that this matter had any impact on her, because the purpose of the queen mother holding this banquet was mainly to see Nangong Jingchen's assistant to the pregnant side concubine, and what was the relationship between Nangong Jingchen and his newly married side concubine.

Although his granddaughter was a little absent-minded, he was very happy that he participated in the banquet this time and brought the side concubine over.

When the banquet was about to end, he directly pulled his grandson to talk about the succession, and he was a little absent-minded Nangong Jingchen, and he couldn't help but have different thoughts about his queen mother.

Until the end of the banquet, Nangong Jingchen didn't say anything else to his nominal concubine Gu Lianyi, and when the carriage stopped at the door of the prince's mansion, he directly opened the curtain and went down.

Leaving Gu Lianyi alone in the carriage with a resentful face, clenching his fists, he didn't even notice that his nails had cut his palms.
