Inevitably, if the concubine worked hard, the family banquet was set up on the main hall of the Yongshou Palace. Chang Yonggui did his errand very well, not only did not disturb the rest of the pregnant concubine, but also arranged the main hall in a particularly grand manner, without losing the solemnity and luxury of the heavenly family.

The palace concubines above the rank of concubine attended the banquet with the emperor and empress, and the Liu sisters were also allowed to attend. This is something that everyone expected, but it still makes many people feel less comfortable.

The eighth prince of the first emperor, Prince Yi Yongxuan, the eleventh prince Cheng, Prince Yongxuan, and the seventeenth prince Prince Qing Yongxuan all attended the banquet. Niu Colu Rubao hadn't seen her sister for a long time, so she sat down at this time, and couldn't help but look at the palace concubines present, wanting to see how her sister who was a noble concubine was now. But after looking around, he didn't see the desire to see Qianying, so he smiled and hung his head.

"How is the concubine?" Prince Qing asked with a smile: "In the past, when I saw it, the concubine was still a beautiful woman in green shirts, and I don't want to be a concubine today." The younger brother has not congratulated the emperor on adding Lin'er. ”

The emperor was full of spring breeze and smiled comfortably: "The older the seventeenth year, the more calm he becomes." Chang Yonggui, go and invite Ru Guifei to come. ”

The queen smiled decently and said respectfully: "The emperor is really considerate of Sister Ruyue, knowing that she has a body that she can't suffer the most, so she will only invite her sister out before the banquet." The concubine thanked the emperor for her sister's care. ”

The dragon's eyes are not slanted, and it seems that there is no need for the queen's high-sounding words. The emperor didn't fail to hear Xiao Mazi talk about what made the queen so shocked that she fell out of the car, didn't he know? Why bother pretending here, looking at it and feeling fake. "The queen has a sense of proportion, and I am pleased."

As soon as these words came out, the queen couldn't help but be shocked. The wound on his forehead was not yet healed, so he pretended to be extremely happy to attend this family banquet to celebrate the pregnancy of the concubine. Everything that should be done is done so well, he is not satisfied, and he is so selfish. The smile on her lips was so cold that she couldn't curl the corners of her lips, but she was already smiling.

If nothing else, she is the only queen. No matter how noble the concubine is, she can't go beyond her.

"What are you looking at?" Yongxuan saw Rubao staring at a painting on the west wall, so he asked.

"That "Ban Ji Resignation Diagram", the concubine looks very good." Rubao couldn't help but think that as soon as Ruyue entered the palace, the emperor rewarded her with the glory of living alone in Yongshou Palace, and the plaque on this palace is still the "Lingyi Shude" of Qianlong's imperial title. Does the emperor really like Ruyue so much and praise her as a virtuous concubine?

Yongxuan was about to say something, but it was Chang Yonggui's righteous and round Beijing tone that raised his voice in glory: "If the noble concubine arrives." ”

The palace concubines couldn't help but get up slowly when they heard the sound, and they waited for the concubine to walk in. Rubao saw that the two princes' Fu Jin also stood up, so he reluctantly followed.

It's just that the princes put on a noble shelf of royal blood, and they didn't make any moves. When the emperor saw it in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart, so he stood up, walked forward, and personally welcomed the concubine into the palace.

This move is nothing more than making the princes extremely embarrassed, and the emperor is up, is there still a reason for him to sit upright? So Prince Qing was the first to get up, followed by Prince Cheng, and finally Prince Yi, who was full of resentment.

Naturally, the queen was also embarrassed. There has never been a reason for the queen to get up to welcome the concubines! But the moment the emperor stood up, she stood up with her. It was an almost instinctive reaction that overcame the resistance in my heart. The pace should be light, and the demeanor should be dignified, and the queen will accompany the emperor step by step.

Ruyue finally appeared in everyone's eyes with different expressions. Walking slowly with a lotus flower, he walked into the hall with great dignity. was blessed, and the emperor's hand was handed in front of him. "The emperor is blessed, the concubine is late."

"Not really." The emperor held Ruyue's hand and smiled as if no one was affectionate: "I am willing to wait no matter how late I am." The queen's body trembled, and the hundred birds on her head also trembled, and it was simply carefully curled by the skillful grandmother, and it was not loose, otherwise she really didn't know where her face could rest.

Walking hand in hand with the emperor to the palace, Ruyue would not see the unnaturalness of the queen. It's just that at this time, in front of so many speculative princes, she really doesn't want the disharmony of the palace to become a handle for their ridicule. Then he stretched out his hand and walked towards the queen: "Niangniang's body is good, how can I ask you to come to greet me in person, the concubine can't bear it." ”

This sentence was finally just right, and the queen would not return to her seat alone, so she took the opportunity to hold Ruyue's hand: "Whatever my sister says, it's my own sister, why be so polite." "It seems that it is really rare to shake hands with such a close handshake and laugh with such a concubine.

The emperor's eyes flashed with a warm light of appreciation. How could he not understand in his heart that now Ruyue is a good time for a mother to rely on her son, and it is also a good time for her to cherish herself, she really doesn't have to take the initiative to show favor to the queen. This is completely to put gold on his face, in order not to be rude to the princes.

This warmth flowed out of his eyes, but it was warm in his heart, and the emperor helped Ruyue to sit down a little hard before returning to his position. The queen waited for the emperor to sit down before she sat upright.

At this time, the emperor is like a concubine on the left, the queen of the middle palace on the right, and there are a number of beautiful palace concubines competing for beauty under the seat, which is indeed enjoying the blessings of Qi people. But behind the scenery, how could those intrigues and murderous killings be cut off one day?

Sitting on the dragon chair is undoubtedly sitting on the sword mountain and the sea of fire, there is no difference at all.

"Let's start the chopsticks." After drinking a statue of Du Kang, the emperor first picked a pearl ball, and said to Ruyue with a smile: "Plainly, your favorite food, I specially asked people to add some verdant young leaves to the filling, which is refreshing and not greasy, do you taste it to your appetite." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ruyue was born, Qin'er generously walked up to serve her vegetables, and Pei Shuang kept her head silent, for fear that when she saw the second lady, she would tremble with anger.

With a pill in her mouth, Ruyue met Kang Guiren's eyes. Compared with Li Guiren's haggardness, Kang Guiren didn't seem to be able to see the melancholy, as if she was so dignified and elegant from beginning to end. At least in front of people, the gentle and obedient appearance has never changed.

If you don't know the truth, you may be deceived by her wonderful disguise. But the more I learned about the truth, the more disgusting I felt. Unconsciously took a sip of sour water, Ruyue blocked her lips with her hand, and the back of her hand was tightly attached to the soft lip flap, only feeling uncomfortable.

"Mother." Qin'er hurriedly served the Chenglin plate, and put her hands in front of Ruguifei.

Ruyue spit out the balls in her mouth, but she still didn't feel so comfortable. Pei Shuang gargled with water again, and said softly: "Miss, drink the saliva smoothly, you won't feel so uncomfortable." ”

Rubao looked at all this, but felt that Ruyue deliberately showed off the dignity of her pregnant identity, and she was angry. Originally, that was where she should have sit, and all these privileges should have been deserved by her. Succumbing to the prince's position of fortune is the biggest regret in her life.

No matter how expensive Fujin is, she is also the wife of a courtier, even if she sees the noble lord in the palace, she has to salute. Thinking like this, her gaze revealed murderous intent, and slowly fell on the face of the Liu sister.

It's just that these two little hooves are not good, and they can't do a little thing. How can she be cheap for nothing, she is like a concubine!

When Li Guiren raised his head, he realized that Fu Jin was looking at him, and smiled back softly, full of provocation.

Could it be that when the wings grow stiff, they will forget their roots? Rubao secretly hated it, and couldn't help but make up her mind. If they don't do things for themselves, they will divide her grace in one fell swoop, so as to vent their hatred. Then, they don't want to keep their lives and enjoy the glory and wealth of the palace.

Kang Guiren followed the gaze of Li Guiren, it turned out to be the killing intent in Fu Jin's eyes. Her heart is not panicked, now is the best time, everything is much easier to follow the emperor on patrol.

"I heard that the emperor wants to go to Wutai Mountain in March and visit Xiling. Don't know if you're ready? Prince Cheng asked.

Prince Yi ate the delicacies, took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and said slowly: "Wutai Mountain, Emei Mountain in Sichuan, Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui, and Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang are all four famous Buddhist mountains. You can just stop by to enjoy the scenic spots and express your mind.

Thinking that the emperor is trapped in the Forbidden City all day long, even if the beauties around him are like clouds, it is finally boring! What's more, the mountain of twists and turns will never be finished. It is better to take advantage of this good plan to rejuvenate the muscles and bones, and place your affection between the mountains and rivers. ”

Because Prince Yi is the eighth prince and is a little older than the emperor, he is always a little arrogant, and it is difficult to listen to his words. Although Ruyue listened uncomfortably, she did not show the slightest displeasure. only signaled Qin'er to serve the emperor's cloth. Trying to distract the emperor's attention may not feel harsh.

glanced at Ruyue, and the brilliance in the emperor's eyes was still warm. But how could he not hear the meaning of ridicule, and after a slight pause, the emperor said calmly: "Since I ascended the throne, I have been busy with government affairs, and I have not been able to go out on patrol for a while. This time I visited Xiling, and I also had mixed feelings. Thinking of the scene of going out on patrol with the first emperor in the past, every time I come here, I always feel sad in my heart. ”

When the queen listened to the emperor's words, she couldn't help but dip her veil in her eyes: "The concubines always think of the teachings of the first emperor in the past, just like the emperor, every time they think of it, the concubines always have a new understanding." From time to time, compare yourself, think deeply and self-discipline, so as not to live up to the first emperor's Longen. ”

The emperor nodded slightly, and instructed Chang Yonggui: "The queen likes the newly pickled osmanthus in the golden autumn, and the rice balls made of it, you go and serve a bowl." ”

"Your Majesty." The queen smiled like a flower, and her eyes were full of tears of joy, and she glanced at the emperor softly.

When Prince Yi saw this scene, he didn't say anything more, and drank another glass of wine to himself.
