Chapter 295: Banquet
Although the bottom of the gourd can elongate the proportion of the woman to a certain extent, and it looks like her legs are slender, it is really inconvenient to walk, Lin Liang still wears flat-soled embroidered shoes as usual.
Duan Ling and Lin Liang traveled, and naturally followed by a series of guards.
However, Lin Liang was now regarded as too important by Duan Ling, and the guards did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
In addition to coming out with him on the surface, I don't know how much is hidden in the dark.
When Duan Ling and Lin Liang entered the palace, they found that there were already a lot of carriages parked outside the palace gate, and the names of each family were marked on them.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, a little eunuch had already carried over a sedan chair in time.
Lin Liang looked at Duan Ling with some astonishment: "That's not necessary, right?" ”
"Why not? Now that your body is different from usual, it is natural to treat it well. ”
The eunuch nodded again and again: "What the prince said is, the crown princess, you go up first, even Your Majesty has said that you have to be careful now." ”
"Then there is Father-in-law Lao." Lin Liang was supported by Duan Ling, and the two were a little close, but Duan Ling didn't go up, only protecting her by the side.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Lin Liang felt better.
After all, wearing such heavy and gorgeous clothes, even if she walked a few steps, she had to stop and rest for a while.
After having a sedan chair, although the head is still quite heavy, it is still much better than walking.
However, the emperor's birthday is about half an hour away.
Duan Ling and Lin Liang were not willing to go in advance, and were surrounded by those ministers to greet each other, so they simply came to Concubine Yue's palace and hid for a while.
"Liang'er's belly is getting more and more obvious these days. The imperial doctor has said that this fetus must be twins. ”
Concubine Yue couldn't stop being happy when she watched the two of them come over.
Because it is a good day for the emperor, even the concubine Yue is dressed very grandly.
It's not like the plain clothes she likes on weekdays, but today she is also wearing a gorgeous palace dress.
The dazzling royal blue color is originally very picky, but Concubine Yue's skin is white, and when she wears it like this, it seems that the material is more charming in the luxury.
It's just that the bead hairpin on the head is really good-looking, and half of the whole eight hairpins are inserted diagonally along the bun, flashing faintly in the flickering light.
Lin Liang's eyes widened and he looked at her carefully.
"The concubine's head is all night pearls? It's really beautiful! ”
"How can the mother wear so many night pearls on her head? If the queen knows, I don't know how much to say. ”
Concubine Yue asked Lin Liang to sit on the soft couch, and she had already asked the palace maid to bring pastries.
Knowing that Lin Liang likes to eat recently, he is also afraid that he will treat his grandson in his belly badly, and he will be very good to her.
"What are you, concubine?" Lin Liang was curious.
"It's just a small means, it's not the pearl of the night, Liang'er can rest assured."
Duan Ling also comforted beside him: "The mother concubine will not do such a showy thing, let alone leave a handle for others, Liang'er can rest assured." ”
"Also, it's the daughter-in-law who thinks too much." Lin Liang was also secretly thinking that his brain was a little insufficient after he was pregnant now.
Concubine Yue was able to achieve this position among so many concubines of the emperor, and she had stayed for many years, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
On such an important day as the emperor's birthday, and with the queen by his side, he naturally will not steal the limelight from the queen.
This night's pearl is priceless, and it is enough for ordinary people to have one or two to show off.
If so many of them appear on the head, or as jewelry, I don't know how many people will be slandered behind their backs.
After a few heavy noises in the palace, Concubine Yue Guifei had already stood up with the support of the palace maid.
"Let's go, the hour is almost up, don't make people wait for a long time, Liang'er, be careful."
Duan Ling helped Lin Liang, and even Xiaoqing came over today.
Yuzhu was already under Lin Liang's instructions and began to choose the matter of housekeeping.
Especially when you appear outside and need to be protected, you need someone like Xiaoqing who has martial arts.
As for Yuzhu, she is delicate, and she can share a lot of the affairs of the prince's mansion with Lin Liang.
Although Yuzhu felt that it was a pity that he didn't have martial arts, he was also very happy to be able to help Lin Liang deal with some things, so even if he couldn't come to his birthday today, he was not half dissatisfied.
Duan Ling and Lin Liang followed behind Concubine Yue, and when they arrived at the water pavilion where the banquet was held this time, more than half of the ministers in the court had already come, and almost all the concubines in the palace had come, and only a few seats were vacant.
When Concubine Yue arrived, countless lights had already been lit up on the water pavilion.
Even the corners of the walls are the same, and the whole waterfront is as bright as daytime.
As soon as Concubine Yue walked in, the queen's gaze landed on a few beads on her head without blinking.
Seeing that Concubine Yue was dressed so novel and chic today, the emperor also smiled.
"Concubine Ai's body is really good-looking, this is the material sent from Suzhou before, right?"
"Your Majesty has a good look." After Concubine Yue saluted, she walked towards the emperor's side.
The queen sat on the left side, and Concubine Yue was naturally on the right side.
The two exchanged glances with each other, and Concubine Yue sat down generously.
"Ling'er is taking good care of your daughter-in-law by the side, now that she is heavy, be careful."
The emperor naturally noticed that Lin Liang and Duan Ling were still there, and when the two saluted, Duan Ling was already supporting him, and Lin Liang still had some difficulty standing up.
The two of them thanked the emperor and sat next to them.
Even Lin Liang's position was specially arranged, unlike other people, it was a little hard, and it was specially cushioned.
It is necessary to wait for all the ministers and concubines to come, and only after they can officially start the meal, so they can only gossip at this time.
The ministers naturally greeted each other, but no one dared to leave their positions and go too far.
As for Concubine Yue, this attracted the attention of many people as soon as she came in.
Although she is not young, she has been good at maintenance for many years.
This appearance is not much different from more than ten years ago, especially the beads on the head, in front of people who don't know the goods, they are proper night pearls.
In order to show her identity today, the queen wore a forehead ornament inlaid with night pearls in addition to the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head.
hung upright between her full forehead, setting off her usual solemn and serious face with a bit of kindness.
Seeing that Concubine Yue was talking to the emperor with a smile at this time, she couldn't help but interrupt.
"The night pearl on the concubine's head is really beautiful, but the palace feels that the one on her forehead is too big, not as delicate as the concubine."
