At this year's winter banquet, Emperor Shen Lun was originally prepared for Shen Shu, who returned victorious.

In order to welcome the piece of meat in his heart back to Beijing safely, and he won the battle, he was overjoyed, and this winter banquet was extraordinarily grand.

The emperor had already ordered someone to clean up his palace in the suburbs of Beijing, and in the past, he would occasionally go to the palace in the eastern suburbs to escape the summer and recuperate, but it was rarely used, and this time it was still to wait for Shen Shu's return, so he had to use it.

Originally, the emperor's plan, even if Shen Shu did not make any achievements in the Northern Desert, would find an excuse to transfer him back at the end of this year, or in the spring of the next year. Therefore, since the autumn of the Eastern Suburbs Palace, he arranged for people to repair and tidy up.

Before deciding to hold a winter banquet, he had already arranged for Concubine Shu to go to the eastern suburbs, feeling that it was quiet and safe, suitable for Concubine Shu to recuperate with peace of mind.

Shen Shu fought this battle beautifully and won the battle, just before the end of the year. Shen Lun was overjoyed in his heart, and the moment he received the good news, he decided to hold a grand winter banquet.

It's a pity that because of the wind and snow, Shen Shu's soldiers and horses returning to Beijing were delayed on the road for a few more days, otherwise they would have arrived in the capital a few days before the winter banquet began. However, he had already asked someone to send back the letter first, telling Shen Lun that the winter banquet would start as usual, anyway, this time it was not just one day, and he would rush back quickly to participate.

Shen Lun had no choice but to hold it as usual, but he was eagerly looking forward to Shen Shu's return.

The royal family had already checked into the Eastern Suburbs Palace three days earlier, and the hundred officials and their families would go again on the same day.

Since this winter banquet is not just a dinner party, and there is also the main event of winter hunting after this, all officials can live in the palace in the eastern suburbs and live for a few days, saving unnecessary trouble in coming and going.

The emperor ordered that as long as the officials above the fourth rank were allowed to bring their wives and children.

Shi Ke served as a companion, and although Shen Mi had already moved into the Eastern Suburbs Palace first. Shi Yuan naturally only brought the eldest lady and Shi Qingqian. His own concubines have been kicked out of the Hou Mansion, and the girls in the second and third rooms must not be able to get into his eyes.

Today's Shi Qingqian is wearing a beautiful white background cloud swallow pattern tight roller wide dai green neckline cardigan, and the lower body is equipped with a white magnolia flower group with a light red background, and a moon white feather satin fox fur cloak.

The cloud-like hair has been curled into a chic Hanyan hibiscus bun, a red gold ruby phoenix hairpin is inserted in the cloud temples that are gently twisted slowly, a skein silver bracelet is worn on the arm with a skin like cream, and a lotus lotus color flower waist seal is tied around the waist, and a dark green bottom hundred butterflies wear flower brocade sachets hanging on it. A pair of delicate and small feet are wearing dark phoenix-patterned shoes.

As soon as Hou Ye Shi Yuan saw Shi Qingqian this morning, he praised her: Fleeing and scorching.

Shi Qingqian also admitted that he was very careful about his dress today. Because Shen Shu's team will arrive in the capital today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.

The two have not seen each other for more than half a year, and Shi Qingqian attaches great importance to the reunion after parting.

The carriage traveled for less than an hour before arriving at the palace in the eastern suburbs.

The family of three got off the carriage together, and sure enough, they saw that this eastern suburb palace was a rare palace that integrates Huihong and simplicity.

"This palace in the eastern suburbs, with a golden roof and a red door, this elegant and high-end style makes people feel solemn." Shi Qingqian's left and right hands were held in the hands of Shi Yuan's eldest lady, and she sighed sincerely at the tall gate of the Eastern Suburbs Palace.

Shi Yuan stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, this Eastern Suburbs Palace is the construction drawings drawn by himself when the emperor was still the crown prince. ”

When Shi Qingqian heard this, he was even more respectful. This emperor Shen Lun has such a high level of elegant insight at a young age.

They walked inward, only to see the white and clean hall reflecting the tear-clear crystal pearls, and the white snow added to the ethereal and illusory artistic conception, and the beautiful scenery was like flowers across the clouds.

Although the glazed tiles and mahogany used in the construction of this eastern suburb palace are the same as those of the imperial palace, the palaces of the ancients are also similar. But this palace in the eastern suburbs always has a sense of elegance that the palace has never had.

The mother and daughter said goodbye to the Hou Ye, and went straight to the palace where Concubine Shu temporarily lived to say goodbye, after all, their Hou Mansion and the henchmen of the queen mother have always been incompatible, and this Concubine Shu is naturally a first-class nobleman.

It was Ah Xiu next to Concubine Shu who came out to answer the door, "Slave maid, see Mrs. Shi and Miss Shi." ”

The eldest lady bowed slightly, "I'll come to visit Concubine Shu, and I'm tired of going to report it." ”

Ah Xiu nodded, but her face was a little embarrassed, "Please come with me, it's just that Concubine Shu has been unwell recently, and I still hope that Mrs. Shi ......"

She didn't go on. As a slave and maid, it is understandable to care about your master, but if you bluntly persuade the second grade to create a lady, it will be the following offense. So she clicked so far, and she was already able to convey the meaning.

"It's natural," said the eldest lady, "that we're just paying a routine visit, and we won't delay too much." ”

Shi Qingqian faintly felt a little uneasy, Concubine Shu was pregnant with a dragon son, and she was about to give birth in about January, and her body should not have the slightest abnormality at this time.

The two followed Ah Xiu and walked into the hall.

Seeing the lady concubine leaning on the side of the chaise longue, although her belly was high, her face was yellow and thin, and she was not angry at all, and even pink and rouge could not make her face improve a little.

"Niangniang, Mrs. Shi brought Miss Shi to greet Niangniang." Ah Xiu saluted and said.

Hearing this, Concubine Shu reluctantly raised her head, and at the same time revealed her haggard eyes, she coughed a few times, "Ahem...... Mrs. Shi is here, give me a seat. ”

"Xie Guifei Niangniang." After the eldest lady answered, she took Shi Qingqian aside.

The eldest lady has always been grateful to Concubine Shu because of her father's support for the Hou Ye, and it is not the first time that the two have met, they have had a conversation, and they also feel that Concubine Shu is thoughtful and clear-minded.

At this time, seeing Concubine Shu like this, she was naturally a little worried, so she poked her head and asked, "Concubine Shu, why are you so haggard, you are not going to give birth soon, I am afraid that this appearance is inappropriate." ”

"Mrs. Shi...... cough cough cough," Concubine Shu coughed, Ah Xiu hurriedly knelt beside her and patted her back gently, "Mrs. Shi doesn't know, in recent days, I have been feeling heavy day by day, and I can't live in peace every day. ”

She stroked her bulging abdomen, and the dark blue under her eyes was particularly conspicuous, "The imperial doctor said that it was because the prince in the womb was good and sucked my essence ......"

"Dare to ask Concubine Shu, which imperial doctor is the one who diagnoses the pulse of the concubine at this time?" Shi Qingqian asked sharply.

"Woo'er!" The eldest lady scolded softly. Concubine Shu waved her hand, but she didn't mind, but replied, "It's Imperial Doctor Zhang." ”

"Imperial Doctor Zhang?" Shi Qing thought for a moment, she had been to the Tai Hospital, and the senior doctors in it didn't seem to have the surname Zhang, "Dare to ask why it wasn't Imperial Doctor Chu who came to sit for a consultation?" ”

Concubine Shu began to cough violently again, and Ah Xiu had no choice but to help her calm her down while replying: "I heard that Imperial Doctor Chu was old, and he had a back pain attack three months ago and couldn't get up, so he sent his apprentice. ”

"How can that be?" The eldest lady frowned, "The concubine is pregnant, and she should have been supervised by the senior imperial doctor in the palace throughout the whole process, why did you send a hairy boy?" ”

Ah Xiu was also indignant, she wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, and finally suppressed her voice and said, "I heard that it was sent by the queen." She covered the sky with one hand in the harem, and the emperor asked Niangniang to move into the eastern suburbs of the palace early, we wanted to change, but we couldn't. ”

The eldest lady bit her lower lip and looked embarrassed, "How can this be done, Concubine Shu is weak right now, what if something goes wrong?" ”

Shi Qingqian thought about something, and finally decided, and said: "Concubine Shu, the courtiers are brave again, hoping to diagnose the pulse of the lady!" ”
