Chapter Ninety-Nine: Feasting Again
There is one congratulatory gift that Yao Chuxi likes very much.
It was a few notebooks sent by Concubine De, and there was also a picture of a snow scene.
Xiao Meiren also sent some things, and Guishuang Pavilion also gave gifts, and almost all palaces and gardens gave things.
But Luo Yu noticed that Baihua Pavilion did not send it.
In order to confirm her conjecture, she carefully flipped through the details of the congratulatory gift.
Some of the words on it were written by her, and some were written by Luoxue, and she has been practicing calligraphy for a while, and her writing is much stronger than before.
can look at the words of falling snow again, they are as crooked as before, and the words seem to have been practiced in vain for a while. When I was in Yunyan Pavilion, I was able to understand the word falling snow, and when I got to Yingxue Pavilion, I didn't expect that there was no progress at all in falling snow.
The rain went over twice, and it was determined that there was no word Baihua Pavilion on the details.
Why did you come to Yingxue Pavilion yesterday with a smile and say that you want to go in, but today it has changed?
Luoyu guessed that Luo Meiren was afraid that she felt that she had hurt her face by Han Shanggong, so she deliberately didn't come to send it today.
That's what Luo Meiren really thinks.
She felt that she had lost face, and she didn't want to send things to Yingxue Pavilion with them. Besides, why not send it? The last time Yao Meiren was pregnant, she didn't send it or didn't send it, what was the result? didn't get anything, and a big-bellied green jade bottle was used.
In fact, the current Yao Chuxi can't look down on her big-bellied bottle.
It's not that she can't look down on it, it's just that there are some good things in the current Yingxue Pavilion, and a green jade bottle is no longer enough.
Others greet each other as New Year's guests, and it is inconvenient for Yao Chuxi to go out with her body, and besides, the emperor can't rest assured that she will go out.
In the past few days, Zhengxuan Hall has been singing and dancing, Yao Chuxi went to the New Year's banquet again, and noticed that almost all the emperor's brothers and sisters came, except for Princess Shuying.
This made Yao Chuxi breathe a sigh of relief.
I thought that Princess Shuying would just say two words and be angry, who would have thought that she would do it that day?
As soon as Yao Chuxi thought of this, a cold sweat broke out on her back, she really didn't dare to imagine what she would do if this child was not saved.
That night, she also drank a little too much, so she hit Princess Shuying back, saying that she was beating, but in fact, even if she pushed and shoved, the two weak women themselves had little strength, and it would not be a big deal if they broke Tian'er.
When she first arrived at the Zhengxuan Palace, Princess Shuluo came to say a few words to her, cared about her body, and said that she wanted to see her when she was empty.
She happily agreed.
I also saw Prince Qi, Prince Qi looks very similar to the emperor, especially between the eyebrows, there is a cold feeling, as if you will be scratched if you look at it more.
But in fact, when the emperor saw Yao Chuxi, he smiled most of the time, otherwise he just kept a straight face, in short, he rarely showed that expression, but when he saw others, it was different.
In addition to Prince Qi, there is also Prince Sheng.
Prince Sheng and the emperor had a period of discord before, and I heard that the first emperor chose between the two for a long time, and finally chose the emperor.
This is also a matter that the people don't know much about, and Yao Chuxi only learned about it after hearing the news from his father.
I thought the two of them would get along, but I didn't expect to drink together at this moment? completely lost the hostile appearance before, if Yao Chuxi didn't know, he would have thought that the relationship between the two had always been so good.
Prince Qi and Prince Sheng are younger than the emperor, Prince Qi is more than three years younger, and Prince Sheng heard that he is only a few months younger than the emperor, and he was born to Concubine Deng.
In addition to these two princes, Yao Chuxi also noticed a bearded man sitting next to the emperor.
That is Prince Heng, a few years older than the emperor, his usual life is mainly based on poetry and songs, and he was the only one who said that he didn't want to be a prince when the emperor chose the prince.
Looking at that indisputable appearance, Yao Chuxi really can't tie him to the competition for the throne.
But that's not right, the emperor doesn't look like a contender for the throne.
I heard that the battle for the succession lasted for three or four years.
In addition to Yao Chuxi, Concubine De and Concubine Qing also came, as well as Jiang Zhaoyi, Lin Jieyu, Xu Jieyu and Xie Meiren.
Prince Qi was holding a wine glass, talking about the three thousand beauties of the emperor's harem, and he also cared about Concubine De a few words.
When Concubine De heard this, she smiled and didn't say anything.
Originally, Yao Chuxi was reluctant to come this time, but Han Shanggong said that this is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and the royal family is the most taboo about this, and there is always a banquet.
At the small level, it is to block the broken mouths of others, and if it is bigger, if you have a body, you have to occupy a position next to the emperor.
Yao Chuxi felt that it was okay today, the medicine had been drunk for three days, and he felt that he had almost recovered.
If the gaze at the New Year's banquet is relatively kind, then this time the gaze is like a knife stained with poison, eager to devour Yao Chuxi alive.
Yao Chuxi really feels like this.
Xie Meiren, who was on the other side, secretly glanced at Yao Chuxi with her kung fu of picking up vegetables, and the two of them looked at each other like this, which made Yao Chuxi feel a little weak for a moment.
Why? Isn't it that Xie Meiren's eyes are vicious, making her think that she has done something wrong?
Since Xie Meiren was not kind to herself, she didn't look at Xie Meiren, but who knew that when she turned her head, she saw Concubine Qing's eyes again, and in an instant, Concubine Qing avoided it.
Yao Chuxi felt that the group of people sitting next to him were like tigers and hungry wolves, staring at his piece of meat, waiting for him to eat it in one bite.
Why do you think so? Yao Chuxi hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of food and didn't think about these things.
Yao Chuxi was very comfortable with this meal, and without Luo Meiren's special persuasion, she ate a lot. She ate the eggs of the pigeon closest to her in one whole plate.
When Jiang Zhaoyi next to him turned around, the plate full of pigeon eggs was gone.
She thought to herself, this Yao beauty is a pig?
Who makes a family pregnant? Do you have to eat both of them by yourself? Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaoyi looked at Yao Chuxi's waist without showing a trace, and the dress was looser than last time, probably because she was worried about strangling her.
But despite this, her figure is also very good, which makes Jiang Zhaoyi unconvinced. Whether it is loose or tight, wearing it on her body is like a tailor-made one, Jiang Zhaoyi has always felt that her figure is also good, tall and slender, but this time she met Yao Meiren, and the two were still sitting together, it was inevitable that they would see the difference.
How can you lose to a pregnant woman? Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaoyi clenched the silver chopsticks in her hand, and secretly said in her heart that she would quit dinner when she went back, and she had to lose weight more.
Yao Chuxi didn't know what Jiang Zhaoyi was thinking about beside her, she just ate her own and didn't listen or look at anything.
After lunchtime, Luo Yu brought the decoction to the Zhengxuan Palace, and Yao Chuxi used it in the Zhengxuan Palace.
Today's medicine is slightly mixed with some honey, and it is not very sweet to drink, but it does eliminate some bitterness.
Concubine Qing watched her drink the medicine coldly, and a kind of resentment suddenly rose in her heart.
I was worried that she would be too pampered and arrogant, and it would hinder the second prince, but after she became pregnant, this worry was much clearer, and she finally abolished the law to get her child off, and she didn't have time to be happy, who could have thought that she was pregnant again?
If this baby gives birth to a boy, I'm afraid it's not good.
Concubine Qing drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, the wine was very clear and astringent, a bit like water mixed with various flavors, but it lost the taste of wine when mixed together.
When she left, Yao Chuxi was the last to leave, and Xie Meiren went out with her.
"Sister Yao is really a blessing." Xie Meiren said such a salty and indifferent sentence, like a temptation.
Yao Chuxi smiled lightly: "Sister is a good blessing." ”
Xie Meiren didn't pick up, and left without replying.
No matter how noble Princess Yunjing is, to put it bluntly, she is just a girl, like Princess Shuying, no matter how much they toss, they can't make a big splash, and the emperor will never let them be emperors in the future.
So what else does Xie Meiren mean? gave birth to a girl and said that it sounded good to make the emperor worry about it, but in fact, the emperor never thought about her, as if she gave birth to Princess Yunjing for nothing.
Originally, he would have lost his sacred heart in the emperor, and it would be impossible for another prince to come out, so Xie Meiren could only guard Princess Yunjing.
Most of the women in the harem are like this, they rely on their looks when they are young, and they rely on their children when they are old, and most of the women who have been favored for many years but have no children will not end well.
Youth and appearance are a woman's capital, but once this capital is consumed, don't you have to rely on your heirs? It's good to be a man and a woman, and it's better to have someone connected to your blood than to be alone in the future.
It's like Concubine Dong in Heluan Hall of the West Palace, when she was young, she didn't fight or grab, and she didn't take it seriously whether she had children or not, thinking that she could keep the heart of the emperor just by relying on her beauty, but the beauties in the palace were stubble after stubble, and Concubine Dong, who was no longer beautiful, regretted it until this time.
Looking at Concubine Run, why can she still make the first emperor happy when she is older? At the beginning, Dong Run and the two entered the palace together, and no one was higher than anything lower than anything in terms of beauty, and there was really no possibility that your face was withered and I was still beautiful.
As a result, in the end, Concubine Run got the title and was promoted to the concubine position, but Concubine Dong, who had accompanied the emperor for half her life, did not even have a title, although she was also in the concubine position, she was more than a lot shorter than the titled Concubine Run.
Scheming is one thing, the main thing is that she gave birth to two princesses, no matter what, the first emperor must not snub Concubine Run, Concubine Dong is different, even if there are no heirs, even if the first emperor is biased, he has more than enough heart and insufficient strength, and the people in the palace will pass on two sentences, but I am afraid that everyone in the world will criticize it.
The woman entered the palace to put it bluntly, just to pass on the dragon vein, if you can't do this, what's the use of you? If you are a little biased, you will pour dirty water on you, just like a woman in the field scolding, a hen that can't lay eggs, you can't kill and eat meat, and raising it is also a scourge.
