Chapter 724: Huddle together for warmth
The news of Concubine Pan Xian's pregnancy failed to soothe Emperor Yongping's traumatized little heart.
There are many concubines who are pregnant, how many can give birth?
He has now learned not to be alarmed, and when he talks about the real character, let's talk about it when he is born, and if he talks too much, he will be tired, and he will save himself from being happy in vain.
Fortunately, Concubine Pan Xian was as timid as a mouse, and she didn't say anything in the Empress Dowager's palace, and even the emperor had to go to Shoukang Palace in person if he wanted to see him, as if he was visiting a prison.
On this day, there is no peace of mind in the harem, and the previous dynasty made a demon moth, although the world is peaceful, but Emperor Yongping clearly feels that the road ahead is difficult, and his road is not easy to walk.
has the heart to make friends with Queen Xiao, and the young couple is at most self-comforting, they can't explain things, they just huddle together to keep warm.
In such an atmosphere, even the emperor's banquet on the Double Ninth Festival in September was cowardly.
Since Emperor Yongping had an accident at Yanque Lake, he has been very taboo to go out of the palace, and he is also in the palace on weekdays, and he also hugs the guards in front of him, attaching great importance to the safety of the guards.
September 9 every year was supposed to wear dogwood, eat lotus bait, appreciate chrysanthemums and drink chrysanthemum wine, in order to seek longevity.
Emperor Yongping didn't even do much this year, and the palace didn't come out, so he only feasted his ministers in the palace to drink.
Originally, there was no convention in the harem, and in the past, the eldest princess of Huiji loved to be lively, and every year whenever there was a reason, she had to hold several banquets. Since the death of the eldest princess of Huiji, no one in the royal family has joined in the fun.
This year, the Empress Dowager started with the Empress Dowager, and invited the royal family and foreign women to enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet in the palace, Empress Xiao did not attend because of her father's funeral, and she was arranged by Chu Guifei inside and outside, and even the seat was Chu Guifei next to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Pan Xian was already frightened, such a big banquet was stunned and did not even show her face, and she was bent on hiding in Shoukang Palace to raise a baby.
Xie Xian refused Empress Xiao's invitation to enter the palace several times, and Xiao Baoxin naturally did not attend this time.
It is impossible to slap the queen in the face in public, the queen can't invite her, the queen mother held a banquet, but she was happy to join in the fun, this is not just a slap in the queen's face, telling everyone that Xie Xiao's two families tore their faces, but also showed off their IQ clearly.
Xiao Baoxin sits at home, but her legend is indispensable everywhere.
For Bao'er who was held in the palm of Xie Xian's hand, based on the fact that she did not appear in front of everyone for a long time, there are very few incidents of her fierceness, and most of what the public remembers is why Xie Xian didn't fall in love with Xiao Baoxin for a long time, and how Xie Xian was wronged and begged to be beaten by Xiao Baoxin all day long, all kinds of rumors about Xiao Baoxin's dark side.
Xie Wan walked around the palace, basically in a state of speechlessness.
With this kind of nonsense and speculation, she didn't even have the idea of justifying herself with the other party.
Xie Xian is long and weak, but he is stronger than anyone else in his bones, if the cow doesn't drink water, you can press your head strongly, if his brother doesn't want to spoil his wife, you take a knife to his neck, he won't betray the person of hue.
Some people don't understand anything, and they judge other people's lives righteously.
It's just that these Xie Wan held it in her heart and didn't say it to Xiao Baoxin.
Her sister-in-law eats and sleeps stupidly every day, don't be too happy, she really doesn't need to say something inconsequential on this kind of leisurely little day to make people block.
didn't know that all his thoughts were listened to by Xiao Baoxin.
Not to mention anything else, this 'stupid eating and sleeping', Xiao Baoxin has the heart to refute but is unable to refute.
Facts, how to refute them?
Mrs. Yuan took over the housekeeper's affairs thoroughly, and after Xie Wan was busy, Mrs. Yuan's birthday, including Xiao Baoxin's birthday, was all prepared by Xie Wan.
Originally, this year's birthday, Xiao Baoxin also planned to spend it in Rong'an Hall.
But Xie Xian didn't want to wronged her, she should have done it when she entered Xie's house last year, but she happened to meet Chu Lingzi to get married, and a few of their little sisters went to add makeup, and the next day it was Mrs. Yuan's birthday, so she didn't want to take the lead.
This time, Xie Xian didn't allow her to keep a low profile no matter what.
At least a few close friends are going to get together.
Xie Xian didn't want Xiao Baoxin to swagger through the market with a big belly.
But Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Cai spoke at the same time, saying that no matter what, Xiao Baoxin gave birth to a big fat son within a year of marrying into the Xie Mansion, and now there is another one in his belly, how can he ignore it.
Others are not invited, and the sisters who marry out of their own families are also invited, which is lively and lively, so that outsiders can also see our united Xie family.
Okay, don't say anything else, Xiao Baoxin can see it, these two just see that Xie Shan, Xie Chan, and Xie Juan are not very close to her, I'm afraid that she will miss them at the banquet and let her in-laws see the jokes, right?
To put it bluntly, I just want to lift up my daughter.
Don't care about the uneasy little ladies who married out of the Xie family, at least on weekdays in the Xie Mansion, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Cai still give Xiao Baoxin face, except when she first married into the Xie Mansion, Mrs. Wang once challenged and intended to suppress her, and then the Wang family fell, and Mrs. Wang also changed the direction of the wind in an instant, in short, for more than a year, they got along happily with each other's well water and river water, and this little face still has to be given.
Xiao Baoxin was not afraid of things, not to mention that now that Xie Xian is favored and Mrs. Yuan is covered, those few small fish and shrimp will not be able to turn up the big storms, so he happily agreed.
Even the eldest princess of Xuancheng received an invitation, and although she was about to get married, she still arrived early.
In addition to the few little ladies and daughters-in-law who live in Xie Mansion, the eldest princess of Xuancheng came earlier than Xie Erniang's foreign daughters.
The banquet was in Rong'an Hall, and the elders did not get involved, but the juniors gathered together.
The eldest princess of Xuancheng was full of energy, obviously in good spirits when she was happy, and her eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
One after another, people arrived, Xie Juan was the last to arrive, several little ladies in the Xie family reported that they were pregnant, and finally it was her turn, she was finally relieved, she was only more than a month pregnant, because of the obvious morning sickness, her body was thinner than before. Compared with Xie Shan and Xie Chan, who have been for six or seven months, she looks more and more haggard.
The eldest princess of Xuancheng swept around, half of the pregnant women, Chu Lingzi and Zu also arrived, and she could see that she was two big.
"You ...... Forget it, I'd better stay away from you, I'm moving wide, don't touch you if you don't have it. Princess Xuancheng was a little helpless, and she was inexplicably happy in her heart.
Seeing so many pregnant women at the banquet before the wedding, did God make it clear to her that she would have a baby soon after she got married?
It's exciting to think about.
"Is the third lady going to give birth?" Wang Qiang suddenly asked, the third lady naturally said Xiao Miaorong.
Chu Lingzi smiled: "It's this month." "After she became pregnant, she gained weight a few times, and she had a double chin when she smiled.
"Exactly, it's going to be the end of the month when the news comes back." Xiao Bao said that Xiao Miaorong, her birthday greeting, sent someone over early, but because she was very hard to conceive this child, she had been lying in bed to raise the baby, Xiao Bao was still very worried about it.
"Baoshu said that he gave a hexagram to the third lady, and he should give birth to a boy." Princess Xuancheng participated with great interest.
