17. A good show on stage

Mid-spring is the most beneficial spring of the year. The east wind is getting warmer, and the flowers are blooming, which is a good omen for colorful colors.

The palace concubines in the Chen Palace love this kind of time the most, strolling among the flowers, and the people in the shade are more fancy than the fancies. Even though Emperor Chen has great ambitions and has never participated in the harem flower viewing and gardening, he can't stop the palace concubines from trying to make good intentions.

Even so, Empress Xu simply ordered Liushang to prepare tea and food, so that the palace concubines who were interested in enjoying the game had a place to rest and talk, which also showed her virtue in the palace.

There are more than 30 concubines in the Chen Palace, and 100 palace maids from each family, which makes the Chen Palace not lively and harmonious. Among the four ladies, Concubine Wei took the eldest princess, Concubine Liu Xian brought the second princess, and the two emperors of the same age were cute and cute, playing together, and the palace concubines present watched and laughed.

Wei Manzhi's original intention was to push this banquet, and since she knew that there were rumors in the palace, she counted that there would be waves at today's banquet, thinking that she wanted to avoid suspicion.

Pei Zhenwan was still confident, and persuaded calmly: "If there is any change today, but Niangniang is deliberately absent, wouldn't it be more eye-catching?" ”

There is some truth to it. Even so, Wei Guifei also freshened up, and she was still glamorous. Unlike in the past, this time she wanted to bring Pei Zhenwan and Amber to serve with her, such a scene of people being together, so that Pei Zhenwan could take a few more looks, so that she could make things easier in the future.

The two princesses were both four or five years old, they were lively and active, laughing and chasing back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, they ran to Zhang Cairen, who was half-lying on the beauty couch with his stomach upright.

Zhang Cairen's body is now nine months old, and his abdomen is high and bulging, showing the auspiciousness of the emperor's imminent arrival. Originally, she was bulky and lazy and reluctant to move, but the doctor said that the fetus would be well raised, and she needed to be active before giving birth in order to give birth safely.

At this moment, the eldest princess Chen Yao stared at her eyes as big as copper bells, and looked at Zhang Cairen's round belly carefully, and the second princess Chen Yao didn't care about it, raised her fat little hand and touched it gently, and said angrily: "When will I see my little brother." ”

Zhang Cairen was in a very good mood, stroked his stomach and smiled warmly: "Next month, the princess will be able to see her little brother." ”

The two princesses didn't understand it or not, they just looked at it lightly and touched it, as if they were caressing their favorite treasures on weekdays.

A few palace concubines who were talking and laughing not far away saw it, so they also paced over to watch.

Liang Meiren smiled, although she had just entered spring, she was already shaking the peacock jade handle fan that she had been rewarded before, and said with a smile to Concubine Liu Xian beside her: "Look, the two princesses and the little prince are really sisters and brothers." ”

Concubine Liu Xian has always loved her daughter very much, so she also replied with a smile: "Yes, even the child knows that the little brother who is about to be born is very lucky." It seems that in the future, their brother and sister will definitely be able to get along well. ”

Liang Meiren covered her nose with a fan, walked a few steps to Zhang Cairen's side, and said familiarly: "My sister is really a blessing, no wonder even the queen mother takes care of it so carefully." ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally satisfied smile on Zhang Cairen's face couldn't help but freeze for a moment, his expression flashed, and he said with a forced smile: "Where is my sister, it is Your Majesty's Houde, Niang Niang Hongfu, I am nothing." ”

The palace concubines standing around them, all of them looked like they were watching the show, what was going on in private inside and outside the palace in the past few days, they had also heard of it, and when they saw Zhang Cairen like this today, it was really a rare show.

Not far away, Empress Xu was originally enjoying the spring with a few of the nine concubines, and saw from a distance that there were many people gathered in the pavilion, so she also smiled and brought a few palace concubines to join in the fun. Fang Zhi was under the pavilion, but he hadn't yet raised his steps, but he saw Wei Guifei standing there with two palace maids Yingying, Wei Manzhi was already young and beautiful, tall and tall, and his crimson clothes were lined with flowers and moons, which made Queen Xu feel more and more that there were many thoughts hidden behind that smile.

Concubine Wei gave a gift and said with a smile: "The queen's spring banquet today is really lively. ”

Empress Xu has always been at odds with Concubine Wei, and she is too lazy to be in love on the surface, so she glanced at Concubine Wei at this moment, took the majesty of the mother of the country, responded lightly, and turned around to the pavilion.

Concubine Wei was happy to see Queen Xu's displeased expression, and she was ranked behind the queen and went with her.

When the concubines in the pavilion saw the two approaching, they all got up and stood up, and the palace concubines of the status retreated to the outside in a few steps to leave a large enough space for the most noble two.

Empress Xu smiled, looked around, and said kindly: "This palace said that the scenery is so good, and the sun is not too big, why are you all huddled in the pavilion, it turns out that you are here to talk and laugh with the talented people of the same chapter." ”

Concubine Liu Xian took the second princess by her side and responded with a smile: "The princesses love their younger brother very much, and the concubines also come to get a taste of the blessings of the little prince." ”

The eldest princess is from Wei Guifei, the biological mother of the second princess is Concubine Liu Xian, although Queen Xu does not like Wei Man's transgression on weekdays, but she still treats Emperor Chen's children equally, and now she also looks at the faces of the two princesses and smiles: "I haven't seen you for more than a month, my wife and Yao'er have grown taller, Yao'er has also gained weight, and Concubine Xian takes good care of her." ”

Concubine Liu Xianmei thanked her, but Concubine Wei couldn't help but roll her eyes, obviously her eldest princess was delicate and cute, and the old woman Queen Xu must be confused, such a small family.

Queen Xu didn't have time to pay attention to her, walked steadily to the beauty couch, and said with concern: "Zhang Cairen's body is a little heavier, and the first child is afraid that he will have to suffer a little, but he must follow the instructions of the imperial doctor and move around more." ”

A trace of confusion flashed in Zhang Cairen's eyes, and his body, which was already sitting upright, was about to get up to reply, and was pressed on the couch by Queen Xu: "Get up and do something, now everything is important to you, and there is no need to be formal here in this palace." ”

Zhang Cairen pulled a cautious smile on his face, and replied.

Others may not be aware that Pei Zhenwan walked into the pavilion behind Wei Guifei, and secretly looked at Zhang Cairen's expression. When Empress Xu walked to the pavilion, it was obvious that Zhang Cairen's face was already a little uneasy, and just a few words of greeting from Empress Xu, her answer was even more unexpected. Sure enough, Mao Guohou arranged the spread of some of these rumors, which is quite insightful. The corners of Pei Zhenwan's mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, this is really a useful ally.

There has always been no shortage of beautiful and careless people in the palace, and sure enough, a few small palace concubines not far from the pavilion couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "Yo, sister, look, how can Zhang Cairen seem to be a little afraid of the queen." ”

"Why didn't I realize it, my sister is afraid that she is looking badly. The queen has taken such care of her in the past few months, why did she suddenly become afraid. ”

"The queen mother cares about the little prince in her belly, and she knows it in her heart if she wants to."

Wei Guifei's ears were sharp, and when she heard these whispers, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and her jade hand gently stroked her hair to cover the smile that was about to overflow on her face.

The show is about to begin.
