As soon as Li Yan'er met, she complained, "Sister Xiyue, this is your fault!" ”

The sudden sentence made Zhang Xiyue a little confused, "Sister, how can you say this?" ”

"Hah! You didn't tell me about your birthday, did you still do it right? ”

Zhang Xiyue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she didn't tell anyone, and she also told Yin Xiaotao not to tell outsiders, it could only be said by Zhu Gaochi, no wonder he said that he wanted to have a good time!

Zhang Xiyue hurriedly said: "I'm my sister, how can this little thing alarm my sister?"

"Are you still polite to me?" Li Yan'er turned around and waved her hand, and the maid behind immediately sent the gift, in addition to a pair of jade earrings, there was also a colorful satin dress.

Zhang Xiyue thanked her again and again, and someone came in outside just after giving up her seat to Li Yan'er, but it was the concubine Tan Yurong, and she also gave sandalwood and pearl hairpins as gifts.

As soon as Tan Yurong sat down, Guo Tingfang walked in with Princess Jiaxing, her gift was more expensive, a pearl shirt, it is said that it is very cool to wear in the summer heat.

How can there be such a coincidence when the three of them go together, it must have been agreed in advance! Zhang Xiyue knew that this could not be their original intention, and she was more careful in her hospitality, afraid that they would find something wrong.

The main dish is crab roe lion head and osmanthus duck, and there are steamed Jinhua ham, stuffed chicken, bacon spring bamboo shoots, Wensi tofu, egg skin shrimp balls and so on...

Zhu Gaochi, who had made two dishes, also arrived, and he specially asked people to create a phoenix crown of pure gold, with a night pearl inlaid in the center, and rubies, turquoises and opals on both sides.

The so-called people are matched with clothes and horses with saddles, and when Zhang Xiyue cooks the dishes, Zhu Gaochi has to let her wear a phoenix crown to try; Zhang Xiyue was also very happy, so she put on the new clothes given by Li Yan'er and put on the phoenix crown.

She is already beautiful, she can be described as beautiful and white-skinned, and she has added a lot of grace and luxury to this dress, and Zhu Gaochi applauded vigorously.

Although Tan Yurong and the others also gossiped about it, their eyes revealed more jealousy, but they didn't dare to show it in front of Zhu Gaochi.

Everyone sat down and Zhu Gaochi said: "Today's Xiyue birthday is a joy, and I have a joy here!"

"The prince," Li Yan'er immediately asked, "What is a good thing, say it quickly."

"Cough..."Zhu Gaochi pretended to clear his throat deeply, "Today, the queen mother told me that the candidate for the crown prince has basically been decided, and the father will make an order after a while..." ”

There has been no movement in this matter for a long time, and everyone didn't react when they suddenly said it, and Zhang Xiyue was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Father is going to make the prince the prince?"

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "But the queen mother didn't say it explicitly, she just told me to do things well and not to disappoint my father."

"That's it..."Tan Yurong was extremely excited, "The prince has finally become the crown prince." ”

Guo Tingfang was puzzled: "How can it be said by the queen mother... Hasn't her old man always supported the third child? ”

Li Yan'er said: "The queen mother supports the third father and the emperor is optimistic about the second child, and neither of them can convince anyone, so they will compromise with our grandfather!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded with a smile, "There is also such a possibility!" ”

"Whatever the reason, the result is the most important thing." Zhang Xiyue raised her wine glass, "Three sisters, I propose that we first congratulate the prince on becoming the crown prince!" ”

It is a great joy for Zhu Gaochi to be the crown prince, and the imperial concubine may become the imperial concubine! Therefore, Tan Yurong and the other three people were really happy, and they raised their glasses to congratulate him, in fact, to put it bluntly, they were also congratulating themselves.

After a glass of wine, Zhu Gaochi proposed to toast the birthday star Zhang Xiyue with a glass of wine, and the three princesses could only follow if they were unwilling to do so.

Seeing that his wife and concubine were harmonious and happy, Zhu Gaochi was very happy, and then he sat on his lap with Princess Jiaxing and fed her what she liked to eat.

Among the four people, only Guo Tingfang gave birth to a child, and this occasion was the most proud, so she said: "Sister Xiyue, you have to work hard!"

Zhang Xiyue asked curiously: "Sister, is there any lack of food I make?"

Li Yan'er explained: "It's not that you cook, it's that you have to work hard to have a baby...!"

"yes!" Guo Tingfang didn't give her a chance to provoke, and hurriedly said: "Jiaxing is three and a half years old, and she is still lonely, why don't you give birth to a younger brother and sister to come out and play with her?"

Zhang Xiyue couldn't help but blush, "It's not like you can be born if you are born!" ”

"Hehe... Then you can't occupy the prince every day, and you will get rain and dew! Guo Tingfang's words made Tan Yurong and Li Yan'er laugh.

Zhang Xiyue didn't answer this sentence, and she was extremely embarrassed for a while. Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and said, "The child is still here, how can you say such things?" It's kind of helped her out of the siege.

The three imperial concubines saw that Zhu Gaochi was protecting Zhang Xiyue, but although they were angry, they didn't dare to say any more, so they bowed their heads and ate vegetables. Zhang Xiyue's cooking skills are really good, almost every dish is a high-quality dish, and they are very happy to eat.

There are more than a dozen dishes on the table, I don't know why Princess Jiaxing loves to eat wine and steamed ham, and she seems to have eaten one slice after another as if she can't eat enough.

Zhu Gaochi didn't even say that it was strange, he didn't like to put other dishes for her, and asked her why she couldn't understand it, anyway, she just wanted to eat ham.

Zhang Xiyue said: "I made half a ham, and I'll send that half over later, so that Xiao Jiaxing can eat enough."

"Don't use it?" Guo Tingfang said: "You are a birthday star, how can you trouble you again!" Zhang Xiyue even said that it was not troublesome.

Zhu Gaochi still had to deal with official business in the afternoon, so he couldn't drink more, and as soon as he left, Tan Yurong, Guo Tingfang and others followed.

Tan Yurong went straight back to his residence, and when he entered the house, he sat on the soft couch angrily.

Li Yanzi saw that her expression was wrong, and stepped forward to greet, "What's the matter, princess, is that Zhang Xiyue's dish not to your taste?" ”

"No, I really haven't tasted the dishes she cooked..."Tan Yurong sighed unconsciously, "You know what? The prince is going to be the crown prince. ”

"Really! Isn't that a great thing? ”

"You say... Is it a good thing? ”

"Why not? Imperial Princess, you have become the crown princess, and you are likely to be the queen in the future! ”

"How can it be so simple..."Tan Yurong didn't have any joy at all, "Now the prince knows that he is pampering Zhang Xiyue... It's just a birthday, and the prince actually gave her a phoenix crown, I am the concubine of Emperor Hongwu! I haven't seen him treat me like this in all these years. ”

Li Yanzi knew her master's thoughts very well, so she persuaded: "The imperial concubine doesn't have to worry about Zhang Xiyue is just a lady, how can she compare with you?"

"If it's just her, I'm not worried, the key is that Guo Tingfang... It's true, why do so many people have children on her own? ”

"Imperial Princess," Li Yanzi suddenly lowered her voice, "You said... Could the princess of Jiaxing not be born to the prince? ”

"Oh... How do you say that? Tan Yurong was surprised: "Have you heard anything?"

"Not really, but... The prince has had so many women, why is only Guo Tingfang having a child? ”...
