Chapter 237: March
Hearing this, Chen Sansi held a breath in his heart, and it was extremely uncomfortable to run around in his chest.
Seeing this, Chen Yixuan sighed slightly, and then mentioned in a low voice: "No matter what you say now, it's too late." ”
Even if I told Changrong Prince Lianji in advance that she was pregnant, in front of the public, with so many pairs of eyes staring, she couldn't get rid of the child in public.
After understanding what Chen Yixuan meant, Chen Sansi stopped moving, only took a sullen sip of spirits, and never looked at Qi Changrong.
At the annual banquet, none of the civil and military officials brought their daughters to their families, and when Emperor Jin An walked in with his two concubines, Lian Ji, who was born and beautiful, instantly attracted many people's attention.
At this time, Lian Ji was dressed in a full costume, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were like a bright moon, a faint smile was hanging on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes seemed to be talking.
Many people saw it and understood the reason why she could be favored.
is so beautiful, it's no wonder that she can gain a firm foothold in the harem.
Emperor Jin An sat down on the dragon chair, and Concubine Qin sat in the lower left corner of him, and her eyes fell on Qi Changrong's body several times.
Seeing that her demeanor was calm and there was no resentment in her eyes, Concubine Qin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
When she heard that the prince was grounded, she was really anxious for a long time, eating fasting and reciting Buddha every day, bathing and purifying, only hoping that God would have long eyes, so that her poor child would be nothing more than hand grinding.
She wanted to plead with Emperor Jin An, but who knows, even during that time, even she herself seemed to be claustrophobic in the palace, and she couldn't come out.
Carefully calculated, Concubine Qin hadn't seen the crown prince for two months.
Now that she sees it, she learns that the prince is safe, and she is also safe in her heart.
"Today is the New Year's banquet, you ministers don't have to be restrained, you should eat and drink."
The majestic voice of Emperor Jin An sounded in the main hall and reached everyone's ears.
That being said, there are a few people who dare to relax completely.
According to the past practice, after Emperor Jin An said a few more words, he saw the civil and military officials come forward.
The gifts given are strange and valuable.
Finally, it was Qi Changrong's turn, she walked out of her position, stood in the center of the main hall, and bowed her hand slightly towards Emperor Jin An:
"In the New Year, Erchen specially found a North Sea jade coral to present to his father, and asked his father to take a look."
After that, a few workers outside carefully carried a turquoise coral statue forward, and placed it firmly in the center of the main hall, and got a cry of amazement.
Regarding this, Emperor Jin An just responded lightly: "The prince has a heart, and I like this thing very much." ”
said so, but Emperor Jin Anhuang only glanced at it twice and let people lift things down, and his face was unclear with joy and anger, and he really couldn't show that he liked it very much.
Seeing this, the minds of those who have a heart are activated, it seems that the gap between the crown prince and the emperor Jin and the emperor because of the Jun family has not been repaired, otherwise they will not even do face-saving work.
Concubine Qin, who also sensed that something was wrong, stirred her handkerchief worriedly, and looked at Qi Changrong from time to time, eager to stick her gaze directly to her.
Fortunately, even if His Majesty was uncomfortable, His Majesty was measured in his heart and did not look ugly for the prince in public.
In the main hall, the atmosphere among the courtiers is still the same, and talking and laughing are extremely relaxed.
However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all had a faint smile on their faces, and they echoed two sentences with Emperor Jin An, and then they didn't say more.
Even the two powerful ministers of the dynasty did not dare to figure out the meaning of Emperor Jin at this time, let alone others.
Qi Changrong didn't care, as she said before, before her father was angry, no matter what she sent, she couldn't be treated differently.
In that case, why should she bother herself?
Thinking of this, Qi Changrong became more and more relaxed, sat on the seat and drank a glass of fruit wine shallowly, and the smile on his lips became more and more indifferent.
After the crown prince, there are also people who offer New Year's gifts one after another.
But Emperor Jin An became more and more cold, and sometimes he only bowed slightly, and he didn't even say a word about the scene, which embarrassed the person who offered the gift.
Fortunately, the gift part passed quickly.
After a while, after thirty years of drinking, Jiang Bowen straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "I heard that the third prince brought Chen Guonian Lily, can you let us open our eyes together?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Sansi glanced at Jiang Bowen very strangely, and said without giving any face: "That is a gift from Chen Guo to His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin State, why should it open the eyes of outsiders?" ”
Jiang Bowen was not annoyed when he was rejected, but Chen Yixuan carefully pulled Chen Sansi's sleeve to make him a little more restrained.
You must know that this person in front of him is not a soft-hearted and foolish lord, Jiang Bowen is deeply trusted by Emperor Jin An, and almost controls half of the court, if he offends him, he may not be wearing any small shoes in the future.
But even if Chen Yixuan had the intention to remind him, Chen Sansi still turned a deaf ear and still went his own way.
Seeing this, Chen Yixuan could only reluctantly withdraw his hand, stood aside, looked at his nose, nose, mouth, and heart, and couldn't see it.
"In this way, we can only blame that we don't have eyes, but there will always be a chance to take a look in the future." Jiang Bowen sighed with emotion, and after that, he raised his glass and drank it all.
In this way, the banquet returned to its previous liveliness.
It is the so-called light yarn manyang, singing and dancing.
At this moment, Jiang Bowen seemed to glance at the throne inadvertently.
Rotate the glass with one hand, rubbing the pattern on the glass with your fingertips.
From a long distance, Lian Ji raised her eyes to look over there, and counted the laps in her heart.
After three laps, it's time.
At that moment, she didn't hesitate, picked up a glass of juice squeezed from fresh fruits, her eyes were shining, and she raised her cup to King Jin'an, and said with a smile:
"The concubine also has a gift, and I want to give it to Your Majesty."
As she spoke, Lian Ji's wide long sleeves brushed past the corner of the table, and the light veil reflected the blooming lotus flowers, which complemented her title.
In front of the public, for this concubine who has been favored for many years, Emperor Jin An wants to give some face.
Hearing this, his tone was two points softer than before: "Oh, I don't know what gift Concubine Ai has for me?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Sansi knocked over the wine glass in his hand without checking it, and the poured wine spilled on his sleeve, instantly wetting a piece.
The movement he made was not big, but Qi Changrong glanced thoughtfully in his direction.
Chen Sansi is not an unstable person, and what can make him lose his temper must not be a trivial matter.
Lian Ji held the wine glass in one hand and stroked her lower abdomen with the other, the smile on her lips became higher and higher, and a slight red appeared on her face.
"The concubine is pregnant."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap on the ground, and the originally lively temple was silent in an instant.
After reacting, the people in the hall were divided into two parts, one part went to look at Emperor Jin An's expression, and the other part focused completely on Qi Changrong, wanting to see how the prince of the East Palace would react.
But Lian Ji was still not enough, and there was a smugness in her eyes that could not be concealed, and she continued in a loud voice: "And now she is pregnant for three months." ”
After she finished saying this, there were gasping sounds from several corners of the hall, all of them shocked.
Obviously, no one expected that Lian Ji would have such a city, and she would be able to hide the news of her pregnancy from the rest of the day, and wait until she was firmly seated in the fetus before spreading the news to the world.
For a while, it was Lian Ji who was obviously pregnant, but the most eye-catching were Qi Changrong and Emperor Jin An.
If you say surprised, Qi Changrong was indeed surprised.
But it's completely different from what others think is surprising.
After that, her eyes were cold when she looked at Lian Ji, but that was all.
However, even so, it is enough for civil and military officials to ponder for a long time.
It seems that the prince of the East Palace does not like the future royal brother or sister in Lianji's belly.
On the other hand, Emperor Jin An, he seemed to be stunned by this 'surprise', and when the courtiers shouted congratulations one after another, he suddenly reacted, and his face was as usual to receive the joy.
Only Yuan Yi, the servant who was promoted and served, clearly saw the green tendons of Emperor Jin'an's hand, and in order to hold this glass of wine, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
This made Yuan Yi couldn't help but worry, for fear that the wine glass would burst open under the pressure.
Fortunately, Emperor Jin An was still under control, and there was no abnormality on his face, and after drinking this wine, he looked at Lian Ji, who was still standing, and his voice became more and more gentle:
"Since Concubine Ai is pregnant, she shouldn't stay in such a noisy environment, so as not to be detrimental to the emperor."
After finishing speaking, he didn't give Lian Ji a chance to be hypocritical at all, and Emperor Jin An said loudly: "Why don't you send Lian Ji Niangniang back to the harem quickly, and then ask the imperial doctor to take a look." ”
When the words fell, he looked to the side quietly, and the meaning in his eyes was very deep.
Emperor Jin An personally opened his mouth to order, and the palace people naturally couldn't wait to obey the order.
Yes, but in an instant, Lian Ji involuntarily returned to the harem surrounded by everyone, and even thanked her.
Although the news of her pregnancy was widely publicized, Lian Ji always felt uneasy in her heart, as if something was beyond her control.
Even though Emperor Jin Anhuang was very happy and relieved, she always felt that this happiness was too deliberate, and it didn't even reach the bottom of her eyes.
After a moment, she thought of something bad.
At this moment, Lian Ji was extremely happy, fortunately she listened to Jiang Bowen's words at that time and did not rush to tell anyone the news of her pregnancy.
Otherwise, maybe Emperor Jin An would give up the piece of meat in his stomach in order to protect the crown prince.
Yuan Yi was extremely smart, and after receiving the look from Emperor Jin An, he immediately quietly retreated.
The excitement of the banquet was piled up to a climax because of Lian Ji's pregnancy, and officials with a little status would toast to Emperor Jin An under the pretext of Daoxi.
What is rare is that Emperor Jin An, who has always been strict with self-cultivation, did not open his mouth to refuse, it can be said that he did not refuse, and drank cup after cup.
In the end, Concubine Qin couldn't see it, and whispered in the ear of Emperor Jin An, very dissatisfied: "Even if Your Majesty is happy, you have to pay attention to proportion, the prince is still sitting there, what do you let the prince think?" Where to put the prince's face? ”
