CHAPTER XLIII

Hua Yan ate a lot under the loving gaze of the Queen Mother, and after eating, she lazily lay back on the bed.

The Queen Mother asked her if she could sleep for a while? Hua Yan shook her head, and the Queen Mother also sat crookedly on the couch and talked to her, and what the two said was naturally what Hua Yan should pay attention to when she was pregnant now, as well as about raising children in the future.

Hua Yan naturally likes to talk about such topics, and said with a smile to the Queen Mother, "Since I was pregnant, I vomited so much every day that I couldn't lift my energy, otherwise I really wanted to make two small clothes by myself." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Don't worry, you haven't been here for more than two months, maybe you won't vomit so badly later." Although the mourning family doesn't want you to be tired, but the clothes made by the mother are naturally different from others, and they can have the best, when the mourning family was pregnant, the small clothes made for the emperor are still there, and the small clothes made by the queen for the prince are still there. ”

Hua Yan laughed, "Can you still wear it?" ”

"Yes." The Queen Mother smiled, "The mourning family let people take care of it, and when the little guy is born, he will also take it out and wear it." ”

Hua Yan nodded, "It is said that it is best to eat 100 family meals and wear 100 family clothes." ”

The Queen Mother said with a smile, "The mourning family will tell the ladies of each province today to send some strips of cloth from the house, and let Yuyifang make a few hundred clothes." ”

Hua Yan bowed, "This is good, there is a grandmother of Emperor Lao." ”

The Queen Mother patted her with a smile, "What do you say that there is no hard work, as long as you give birth to a child safely, and the mourning family hugs your grandchild, you will be content." Ask for nothing else. ”

Hua Yan smiled, "Don't worry, you will." ”

The two talked for a while, and the Queen Mother said to Hua Yan, "Close your eyes and rest for a while!" The palace banquet is tiring. ”

Hua Yan nodded and closed her eyes.

Yun Chi heard that Hua Yan vomited in Ninghe Palace again, and he was not at ease, so he personally came to pick up Hua Yan before the palace banquet.

The Queen Mother saw him walking in a hurry, and said funny, "You, what's the hurry?" Your daughter-in-law is here in mourning, what can really happen? Don't worry, although she vomited a lot, she also ate something, so it's good. ”

Yun Chi saw that Hua Yan was asleep, breathing steadily, indeed he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Sun Er naturally believes in the imperial grandmother, but the palace banquet is about to come, come and pick her up." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, "Everyone says that Yan Yatou is blessed, the mourning family thinks that what they said is really right, the mourning family has looked at you since childhood, and now you love your daughter-in-law so much, stronger than the first emperor, and stronger than the emperor, the grandfather did not marry the queen, otherwise, it is about the same as you." ”

Yun Chi smiled, not wanting to mention the grandfather, so he didn't answer, stretched out his hand and patted Huayan gently, "Yan'er, wake up." ”

He shouted twice, Hua Yan just "hmm", woke up in a daze, didn't open his eyes, then reached out to hug Yun Chi's neck, and said softly, "You're back?" ”

Yun Chi smiled, "It's almost the palace banquet, you slept really heavily here with the imperial grandmother, did you forget what you came to the palace for?" ”

Hua Yan seemed to be in a daze for a while, before she woke up, slowly opened her eyes, looked at Yun Chi, and saw the Queen Mother looking at them happily, she blushed, and let go of Yun Chi's neck with some embarrassment, and sat up, "I'm sleepy." ”

After all, the queen mother is an elder, although Huayan is thick-skinned, she is embarrassed to be coquettish with Yun Chi in front of people.

Yun Chi chuckled and stretched out his hand to hug her, "You are sweating from sleep, wake up for a while, let's go to the palace banquet." ”

Hua Yan nodded, very well-behaved.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhile, "It's normal for pregnant women to be easily tired and sleepy. Being able to sleep so soundly in the palace of the mourning family, the mourning family is happy, and there is no need to scruple in front of the mourning family, just do what you want. ”

Hua Yan smiled and nodded, since the Queen Mother wanted to open it, she really took care of her everywhere and was very good to her, and she was also cute.

Yun Chi accompanied Hua Yan to stay in Ninghe Palace for a while, and when the sweat on Hua Yan's body fell, he dressed her properly and wrapped her tightly before accompanying her out of Ninghe Palace.

The Queen Mother is also with the two, how to see how the two are compatible, the smile on her face has not dispersed since she hung up.

There was snow in the sky, not big or small, but it was extremely cold.

The palace banquet is placed in the Chongyun Palace, the emperor and the family members of the civil and military ministers have arrived, the princes and princesses have also arrived, and the concubines and concubines of the harem are also dressed brightly, and there are thousands of people in the huge hall.

"The Queen Mother has arrived! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! The crown princess has arrived! ”

With a singing voice, the Queen Mother, Yun Chi, and Hua Yan entered the hall.

Hua Yan glanced at it, and the whole hall of people in Wuyang, according to their ranks, sat one seat at a time, she saw the important ministers of the court headed by Zhao Zaifu, King Anyang, Wu Weihou, and Jing Guogong, and also saw the powerful upstarts in the court led by Su Ziqi, An Shuli, and Mei Shuyu, as well as the courtiers and family members who had never met with her.

Everyone was well-dressed and gathered in the hall.

After everyone paid their respects, their eyes fell on Hua Yan's body.

Hua Yan has not been as good as when she came in the morning since she had morning sickness in Ninghe Palace today, but her complexion is captivating, although she has lost two points of complexion, she still does not damage her beauty, especially when she accompanies Yun Chi, she is dignified and elegant in her gestures, and she is extremely compatible with Yun Chi, which is secretly surprising At the same time, she feels not too surprised, Hua Yan should be like this, the princess chosen by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be like this, and the future mother of Nanchu should be like this in the future.

After the three of them sat down, the emperor said something to the Queen Mother, Yun Chi, and Hua Yan, and then ordered a banquet with a smile. The eunuchs and palace maids put a plate of delicacies from the mountains and seas on the table, and in the fragrance of the meal, the dancing girls came out, and suddenly the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras.

Some ministers stepped forward to toast, saying New Year's congratulatory speeches, the emperor was weak and couldn't drink more, Yun Chi had to take care of Huayan, so naturally he didn't dare to drink more, so he drank two cups appropriately, and then pushed the five princes forward to drink instead of him.

The fifth prince looked at Yun Chi and Hua Yan, so he could only accept this job in resignation.

Hua Yan pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Yun Chi, "Actually, I can drink a little." ”

"Nope." Yun Chi shook his head.

Hua Yan whispered again, "It's okay if you drink more." ”

"Nope." Yun Chi still shook his head.

Hua Yan froze.

The courtiers' families began to be unable to let go, and as Su Ziqi, An Shuli, and Mei Shuyu accepted everyone's toasts without refusing, they gradually became lively.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yun Chi asked Hua Yan, "Can you stand it?" ”

Hua Yan looked at it with relish, "I can stand it, it's good, it's not uncomfortable." ”

Yun Chi knew that she was a lively person, so he smiled and stopped talking.

Hua Yan couldn't stand it, but the emperor couldn't stand it first, said that he was dizzy, let everyone drink as much as he wanted, and retired early.

Although the Queen Mother is old, she is very energetic, and she instructed Xiao Lizi to take good care of the emperor, so she still sat at the palace banquet.

Not long after the emperor left, when everyone was busy, a little eunuch hurriedly ran over with a white face, "Your Highness, the emperor walked halfway and suddenly fainted, and Xiao Lizi's father-in-law ordered the servants to come to His Highness." ”

As soon as his voice came out, the commotion of the crowd stopped for a moment, and several ministers of the DPRK and the central government stood up.

Yun Chi also immediately stood up and asked, "What's the matter?" Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”

The little eunuch was about to cry, "I don't know, the emperor is foaming at the mouth, and Xiao Lizi's father-in-law has passed on the imperial doctor." ”

Yun Chi took a step to leave, thinking of Hua Yan, he reached out and held her hand, "Let's go, go and see my father." ”

Hua Yan followed Yun Chi out of the Chongyun Palace, and saw that he was anxious to take care of her, although he didn't dare to go too fast, and said to him, "You go first, go and see, I'll ......" She was just about to say that I followed, afraid that Yun Chi would not be at ease, Yu Guang swept Su Zi Cho, who had already left the Chongyun Palace, and said to him, "Zi Cho will accompany me to go later." ”

It's not safe to hand her over to others, but Su Zi should rest assured that he should behead him.

Yun Chi also saw Su Ziqi, saw that he had come, and said to him, "You accompany her, you must take care of it, don't make a mistake." ”

Su Zi nodded, "You go quickly." ”

Yun Chi let go of his hand and walked quickly towards the emperor's main hall, and Xiao Zhongzi hurriedly followed Yun Chi.

Cai Qing accompanied Hua Yan, watched the Queen Mother and courtiers hurriedly walk towards the emperor's main hall, and whispered to Hua Yan, "Crown Princess, be careful, go slowly." ”

Hua Yan nodded, and instructed as she walked, "Don't follow me, there is a son here, you go to find the heavens, the father suddenly fainted, foaming at the mouth, it is really unusual, the imperial doctors are afraid that it is unreliable, let the heavens come to see." ”

Cai Qing hesitated, and glanced at Su Ziqi, "The slave maid takes care of the crown princess, His Royal Highness has already commanded that he will not leave an inch, let the secret guard go and invite it." ”

Hua Yan suddenly, now in the palace, is to avoid suspicion, Yun Chi handed her over to Su Zi, can't there be no one around her, lest bad words come out, nodded and said secretly, "Seventeen, you go, hurry up." ”

An Qiqi has been secretly protecting Hua Yan, glanced at Su Ziqi, should be, and turned around.

Hua Yan walked forward and said to Su Ziqi, "What do you think of today's incident?" Could it be that the people behind him can't deal with Yun Chi and me, so they will attack the emperor instead? Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, so it's really going to pick the time. ”

Su Zi snorted.

Hua Yan was thinking about it in her heart, speculating about today's events, but she didn't see what the emperor was like, and she couldn't think of a reason, so she gave up and walked a long way, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and stopped suddenly, and her heart was cold, and the cold air surged from her feet to her heart.

Just as she stopped, Su Zi beside her sneered, "Found out? It's a pity that it's late. ”
