Chapter 591: The Old Man (1)
Ji Zeyu's face remained unchanged when he heard this, and he said lightly in a low voice: "The Qin family doesn't raise a face, she naturally deserves good treatment." ”
"You!" The eldest princess of Anyang turned purple for a moment, stopped and stared at the tall back of the man who was still strolling idly with her hands into fists, "You are presumptuous, I am a princess!" ”
Ji Zeyu stopped, looked back, and there was undisguised mockery in his eyes: "Oh." I don't see what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will do besides reincarnation. ”
"Presumptuous!"
"The eldest princess is still angry, today the Queen Mother is skilled."
Ji Zeyu continued to walk forward briskly, leaving Li Helan's only son, his chest rising and falling, and he was short of breath.
quarreled with Ji Zeyu like this, and when he came back to his senses, the figure of Xiao Xiaohe had already approached Ci'an Palace.
Li Helan scolded the palace people beside him with a calm face: "Don't keep up quickly, what kind of system will you become." ”
The palace man's face was flushed when he was reprimanded, and he lowered his head and cautiously followed behind Li Helan.
Qin Yining naturally didn't know what was happening behind her, and at this time, she had already been allowed to enter the main hall of Ci'an Palace with Xiao Xiao under the communication of the inner servants.
The Queen Mother is celebrating her birthday today, wearing a red Zhai dress full of gold, wearing a tassel and a golden phoenix crown, and she is dressed gracefully and elegantly.
The middle-aged woman sitting next to the Queen Mother was also dressed in a light golden robe, chasing a phoenix crown on a high bun, although her complexion was not beautiful, but it was also extremely attractive.
This is the Queen.
The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the clansmen who went to the banquet in the palace heard that someone had arrived with Prince Zhongshun, and they even spoke a little as if they were talking, and they each looked in front of the store.
I saw a gorgeous purple python robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, and Xiao Xiao bent down slightly, carefully supporting a pregnant woman wearing a light blue brocade arrow sleeve jacket, a dark blue long skirt, and a big belly but without losing the charm of the pregnant woman who walked in slowly.
The Queen Mother smiled.
When the queen saw that she didn't care about condescension and dignity, she also had to support her wife, and then saw Qin Yining's delicate appearance with her waist and stomach up, but she was still very eye-catching, and the sourness in her heart rose.
Some women are born with a good life, they are born beautiful, and their husbands love her wholeheartedly.
And what about her? Although she is the queen, the concubines in the emperor's harem are all beautiful, but she is already old and yellow, but she is pregnant first, and she will inevitably become the target of public criticism in this palace. To put it mildly, she can't wait to open her eyes even when she sleeps. Pregnant and still working so hard, the thick powder on the queen's face couldn't hide her tiredness.
Looking at Qin Yining again, she has a good complexion, and her skin is also blown, which is completely different from her situation.
With the favor of Prince Zhongshun, her life must be very smooth.
When the queen's heart turned a thousand times, Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao had already come closer.
Xiao Xiao first helped Qin Yining to slowly kneel down on the brocade mattress brought by the palace maid, and knelt beside him, and the two respectfully gave the queen mother a big salute.
"I wish the Queen Mother a holy life, peace and happiness."
"Okay, okay, you kid, you still have so much courtesy when you come to the mourning family, and your daughter-in-law is heavy, so she still doesn't pick it up?"
The Queen Mother smiled and stretched out her hand to the owl.
But because he obeyed the order to bow his head to support Qin Yining, he didn't see the queen mother's movements.
The Queen Mother's hand stiffened for a moment, and seeing that no one paid attention to her, she had to withdraw her hand in embarrassment, and the smile on her face was still loving.
Xiao Xiao helped Qin Yining to sit down on the rose chair brought by the waiter. Because of the status of the clansmen, the families of the clan relatives have to take a back seat. In addition, Xiao Xiao is a man of the hour in the court, and the fact that Li Qitian ordered someone to impeach Xiao Xiao but failed has spread all over the capital, and the clan relatives are naturally more in awe now when they see Xiao Xiao again.
Qin Yining naturally noticed that the atmosphere in the hall had become quiet after they arrived, and sighed secretly in his heart, but his face remained dignified.
The queen smiled and said to Qin Yining: "Look at your month, you should be a mother in four months, right?" ”
Qin Yining was busy standing up, but was gently stopped by the queen: "My own people, why do you need to be so polite, today is the queen mother's family banquet, we are just a family of relatives gathered together to talk." ”
"Yes, thank you, Queen." Qin Yining still bent down and bowed his head, with a humble and submissive attitude.
At this time, I heard a waiter in front of the door: "The eldest princess of Anyang, the concubine has arrived!" ”
When everyone looked back again, they saw Li Helan dressed in a gorgeous costume, with an angry face with exquisite makeup that had never retreated, and walked in quickly. Ji Zeyu followed behind in a tooth-white arrow-sleeved brocade robe.
These two people, one is a rich flower in the world, and the other is a bleak and cold moon in the night sky, and they don't look like people all the way.
When the two arrived at the queen mother and the queen, they both saluted.
Li Helan didn't wait for the queen mother's orders, she got up, leaned over coquettishly, sat next to the queen mother, and separated the queen mother from the queen mother, "Queen mother, do you want to be a son?" ”
The Queen Mother helplessly tapped Li Helan's forehead and reprimanded: "You monkey, when can you learn the stability of these relatives and sisters of yours?" ”
Li Helan proudly raised her chin and looked around.
Immediately, the relatives of the Li family who "achieved the Tao by one person, the chicken and the dog soared" praised Li Helan with all their mouths. Some say that the princess is pure and sincere, and some say that the princess has a pure heart, but it is always a one-sided compliment, and the queen mother likes it.
The queen sat with her eyes down, silent. What her sister-in-law is feeding, her sister-in-law can't know better. If it is said that the culprit who raised Li Helan with such a temperament, the unreasonable favor of the Queen Mother and Li Qitian is the root.
Li Helan was praised a lot, but when she saw Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining sitting side by side in the first place, and Qin Yining still had such a big belly, the smile on Li Helan's face stiffened again.
"It turns out that Prince Zhongshun and the princess have also arrived. Hongu didn't even see it, it's really disrespectful. ”
Xiao Xiao stood up and arched his hand: "The eldest princess is serious. The courtiers and courtiers also just arrived. ”
Li Helan raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Yining, who was still sitting in place: "I see that Prince Zhongshun went to a barbarian land, not only did her belly be bigger than that of a normal woman who was six months pregnant, but she also forgot the rules and etiquette, which shows that the environment creates people, and this is still reasonable." ”
Li Helan's mean words made everyone present frown.
Now, no one here knows that Qin Yining is pregnant with twin sons, and it is normal for her belly to be bigger, and no matter whether her chastity is still there, Prince Zhongshun doesn't care, what more mouths do outsiders have? Now it's the Queen Mother's holy birthday again, and as the eldest princess, she was the first to stand up and stir up trouble, which is really unruly.
The crowd shook their heads in their hearts.
Qin Yining looked at his nose and nose, and his nose looked at his heart, only when he heard the dog barking.
Xiao Xiao's bony fists were clenched, and she looked at Li Helan coldly and disdainfully, and said with a smile: "The eldest princess is still the same as before, she is not familiar with the world and is innocent. The Queen Mother is well educated. Admire. ”
Li Helan's face turned black at once.
The Queen Mother's brows also furrowed.
The clan relatives were even more bluffed.
Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, falling from above, including the saints, who else dares to turn around in front of them and say that the queen mother has no way to teach her daughter?
But he was a person who even dared to resist the Thirty-Three Ways of the Holy Decree, and the Holy One still had nothing to do with him, and everyone present, no one dared to do anything to him. What's more, this matter is still Li Helan's fault first.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's face turned green, the queen hurriedly smiled and diverted the topic, "The hour is almost up." The stage is also ready. Queen Mother, should we move to Fang Ting Garden? ”
The Queen Mother finally became less embarrassed, nodded and ordered everyone to go to the play together, and said, "It's cooler there, let's have a banquet in Fangting Garden." ”
"Yes, the queen mother only wants to use it today, and leave everything to the daughter-in-law." The queen smiled softly and walked forward with one arm of the queen mother.
And they followed.
Li Helan watched the owl escort Qin Yining to Fang Tingyuan, she held her breath in her heart, and she couldn't wait to rush up and press Qin Yining to the ground and beat her hard. Who hasn't gotten married? Is it just to show that she is married to a young man?
Li Helan was not in a good mood, and her face was calm throughout the whole process of watching the play. Even the queen mother talked to her, which made the petty people unwilling to pay attention, and the rest of the clan relatives who made trouble were not easy to laugh, and the atmosphere in Fang Tingyuan was particularly dull.
This dullness lasted until Li Qitian came.
Along with Li Qitian, there were also several courtiers and nobles who were quite trusted by him. Lu Heng was among them.
When Lu Heng came in the door, the first thing he saw was Qin Yining.
She lowered her head and was taking the fruit handed by Xiao Xiao, with a gentle smile on her lips, especially when she caressed her ball-like abdomen, the appearance full of maternal tenderness made Lu Heng a little dazed for a moment. I even fantasized in my heart that it would be nice if it were my own child.
Lu Heng quickly forced himself to withdraw his gaze, followed behind Li Qitian, and saluted the Queen Mother and Empress with the ministers.
After greeting each other, the two parties rearranged their seats.
Li Qitian first recited the birthday greeting, grateful to the Queen Mother for her nurturing and teaching, the scene was once very touching, and the eyes of some female dependents with shallow eye sockets were a little moist.
After the birthday speech, it is the birthday feast. As soon as Li Qitian gave the order, the people in the imperial dining room moved and brought up the delicacies, fresh fruits and vegetables, and delicate snacks one by one.
The palace people were well-trained, and even if there were so many people, no one heard a cough or a collision when putting down the utensils.
When the banquet was ready, Li Qitian picked up the wine cup, got up and said: "This first cup, I propose that everyone drink together, and wish the Queen Mother eternal health!" ”
Everyone stood up, toasted with a wine cup, and said in unison: "The Queen Mother will always enjoy good health!" ”
The Queen Mother was overjoyed, took a sip of wine in a dignified manner, and ordered everyone to sit down casually.
The courtiers and ladies staggered each other.
Some women went in groups to toast with the Queen Mother.
There were also courtiers who went together to toast the saints.
The atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone looked very cheerful.
At this moment, a guard walked in quickly, saluted to Li Qitian's side, and whispered in his ear: "Holy Lord, a monk came from outside the palace gate and sent you something, saying that the old man asked to see him." ”
