Chapter 142: Distressed

Ji Anchen quietly looked around and saw that everyone's attention was on Queen Yu and Ji Anru.

He quietly pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, secretly stuffed it into Yu Wanning's hand from behind, and then raised his hand and pointed to the tip of his nose.

Yu Wanning knew that Ji Anchen was reminding himself that there was sweat on the tip of his nose.

Seeing that no one noticed their small movements, she smiled softly, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose.

It's just that he was a little surprised, and he didn't smell the smell of Ji Anchen's favorite spices on this veil.

But after thinking about it for a while, Yu Wanning figured it out, when she met Ji Anchen in her last life, Ji Anchen was already sixteen years old, and she had the Jinghe Palace where she lived.

And Ji Anchen, who is now in this life, is still living in the back hall of Shoukang Palace, like a motherless child, and his use is naturally worse, he can only use what he wants, and he can't use what he likes.

Thinking of this, Yu Wanning felt a little sorry for Ji Anchen.

Don't look at Ji Anchen as a prince and lives in the palace, but his living expenses are only as good as her as the daughter of a courtier.

Thinking like this, Yu Wanning carefully observed the surroundings, and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she secretly reached out from behind her and gently scratched Ji Anchen's palm.

So, Ji Anchen's ears turned red again.

Seeing Ji Anchen's red ears, Yu Wanning wanted to laugh, so she had to use the handkerchief that Ji Anchen had just given her, gently covered the corners of her lips, and then put the handkerchief in her sleeve and secretly raised her eyebrows at Ji Anchen.

It means that this veil will not be returned to you.

Ji Anchen only looked at Yu Wanning and smiled lightly, revealing two white and lovely tiger teeth.

Fortunately, everyone's attention is on Queen Yu, the princess, and the crown prince, and no one will pay attention to people like Ji Anchen and Yu Wanning.

Otherwise, these small actions of the two of them are enough to make people look at each other.

Ji Anheng and Ji Anru accompanied Queen Yu to talk for a while, and then an attendant came in and replied: "Niangniang, the concubines and noblewomen outside have arrived, and the time to come in and pay your birthday greetings has arrived." ”

"yes, got it."

Empress Yu responded lightly, then looked at Ji Anheng and said: "The concubines and ladies are coming, it is inconvenient for you to be here, so take your younger brothers out, there is also a banquet in Yonghua Hall today to entertain the courtiers, a few of you will go over, take a longer look at your father's place, if there is anything you need to do." It's just the princesses here. ”

"Erchen understood."

Ji Anheng hurriedly saluted and said, "Then the minister and his younger brothers retreated first. ”

When Ji Anchen heard Ji Anheng's words, he hurriedly glanced at Yu Wanning again, as if he was a little reluctant, but he could only follow Ji Anheng to withdraw.

After the crown prince and the princes went out, Empress Yu asked Ji Anru to help her complete the dress, and then said to the attendant who came in just now to pass the word: "Send the concubines into the palace." ”

It seems that it is the concubines who enter the palace to worship their birthdays, and then it is the turn of the ladies outside.

The chamberlain went out to spread the word, and the concubines who were dressed in makeup according to their grades were ranked according to their grades and entered the main hall.

The first is two concubines, one is Concubine Mu Xian, the sister of General Mu who guards the southwest side of Dayin, demure and quiet, and the real person is as light as a chrysanthemum.

A prince and a princess under her knees, but it's a pity that the prince is disabled and the princess is married far away, so over the years, the most is to keep to herself, never compete for favor, except for big festivals, almost not out of the palace half a step.

Another Concubine Xu Shu, the youngest sister of Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was born very charming and bright, and she also loves to pinch sharp children in temperament, and she is the most favored concubine at the moment.

There is only one prince under his knees, and that is Ji Anlan, the third son of the emperor who is most loved by the emperor except for the crown prince.

Behind the two concubines are Concubine Li and Concubine Tao.

Concubine Li is Ji Anchen's biological mother, it is said that she is timid and cowardly by nature, and her appearance is also weak and weak.

When she entered the palace at the beginning of the year, although she was only a permanent person, she had also been favored, but her mother's family had no one and no foundation to back, so she couldn't sleep for a few months after pregnancy, so she was taken away by the newcomer, and she gave birth to a son later, and she was only a nobleman, and she had not been favored again for many years, and she was not qualified to raise her son personally.

It wasn't until last year that she was promoted to the position and became the head of the first palace, although she was qualified to raise her son in person, but Ji Anchen was already ten years old, because of her low status in the past ten years, she didn't even have many opportunities to meet the Queen Mother, let alone see her son.

When Fang was waiting outside to come in to congratulate the queen on her birthday, when she saw Ji Anchen and several brothers exiting the hall, Concubine Li had the intention to call her son to say a few words to him, but before she could even speak, there was a message from the chamberlain, and the queen called in, so she could only reluctantly look back at Ji Anchen's back twice.

Another Tao concubine, who is older than Concubine Li, gave birth to a son and a concubine early, but the fourth son of the emperor under her knee died when she was less than a year old, and later gave birth to the seventh son of the emperor, Ji Anhe.

Because Concubine Tao was born very beautiful and moving, and her temperament was soft and gentle, the emperor favored her.

But love is love, but her background is also very low, the emperor has never raised her position, and has given birth to two sons so far, but she is still only a concubine.

Later, followed by two nobles, they were the biological mothers of the two princesses who came in to celebrate their birthdays.

After the two nobles, there are a few who are always there and agree.

For a while, the rings in the entire hall sounded softly, and the fragrant wind hit people, and then the palace concubines, under the leadership of Concubine Mu Xian and Concubine Xu Shu, knelt down together to congratulate Queen Yu.

Yingsheng Yan said: "The concubines and others wish the imperial mother a thousand years of holy life, happiness and good health." ”

"Sisters, you have a heart, hurry up."

Empress Yu smiled dignified and asked everyone to excuse herself, gave the two concubines a seat, and then asked a few more questions about Concubine Mu Xian and Concubine Xu Shu.

Looking at the harmony in this hall, Yu Wanning's mind couldn't help but flash some other thoughts.

Everyone in the world says that today's emperor and queen are deeply affectionate, and the love between husband and wife is deep, but looking at the concubines and nobles in this palace, there are so many concubines and concubines, and I don't know what Queen Yu's heart is like.

In fact, compared with the previous generations of emperors, Emperor Yongning today does not have many beauties in the harem, but there are more than ten people.

But is the current emperor, with this empress, really unreserved and unsuspicious?
