Chapter 141: What a big breath
This time, the banquet organized by the Queen Mother herself, only invited the royal relatives and nobles, and on the surface it was a family banquet, but in fact it was to stand up for the emperor.
It seems that the Queen Mother is also very dissatisfied with the King of Jin, watching the power of the King of Jin getting bigger and bigger, if their mother and son don't pay attention to it, won't he let him take away the country.
Most of these clansmen have no power, some are idle at home, and some only have a false position and no real power, so the emperor does not need to be afraid of them. It is precisely because the emperor is suspicious that in order to survive, where do they dare to reveal their true skills, why not be an idle prince, or spend a life of glory and wealth.
Only the king of Jin not only has a heavy army, but also wins the hearts of the people. He is the emperor's biggest obstacle, and he is a thorn that cannot be pulled out.
Everyone sat on their seats, but after waiting for a long time, they still did not see King Jin coming. He has always liked to get up sooner or later, and everyone is used to getting up early, but the emperor's eyes seem to have a thin anger, although he hides it well, the queen mother still notices it.
Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, she knows best what kind of temperament her son has.
"Emperor, mourning family toasts you." She picked up a glass of wine and held it up towards the Emperor.
The emperor was no longer comfortable in his heart, and he knew that the queen mother was persuading him, and he couldn't get angry in front of his relatives. In front of everyone, the King of Jin has made great achievements, and if the emperor does not treat him well, it will be unreasonable.
"The emperor's mother, the sons and daughters also respect you." The queen also raised a glass of wine and saluted the queen mother at the same time as the emperor.
The melodious sound of silk and bamboo sounded, singing and dancing, because the New Year is approaching, there is no war, everything is peaceful, everyone's mood is also relaxed, get together, just talk about family life, not to mention today's protagonist, King Jin has not yet arrived.
After everyone had drunk for three rounds, King Jin was late.
It could have come faster, but it was difficult to travel in the snow, and the king of Jin did not allow the carriage to go too fast, saying that he was afraid of startling the child in the princess's womb. Therefore, the carriage traveled slowly, from the Jin Palace's palace to the palace, it was only half an hour's road, and it took more than an hour to walk hard, and it was too late.
Seeing King Jin walking in slowly with Ruan Jiaqing, everyone put down the wine glasses in their hands and cast a glance at them.
King Jin was dressed in a purple robe, and a few Zhusha Manhua flowers were sewn on the cuffs, which were particularly dazzling, and I saw that his black hair was tied up and fixed with a gold crown inlaid with sapphires, and his aura was magnificent, and his whole body was full of an innate noble aura. The woman beside him was dressed in a plain white brocade robe, embroidered with white plum blossoms on the skirt, and a jacket on her body.
The two look very compatible, especially Ruan Jiaqing, at the beginning, everyone thought she was just an ordinary woman to the dust, and there was nothing worthy of King Jin, but now at first glance, I actually think that her appearance is amazing.
It's no wonder that the prince is so remorseful after missing the pearl.
The four daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion, only this Ruan Jiaqing was deeply hidden, and the men present couldn't help but glance at her more, but just a glance, they withdrew their gaze, afraid of being noticed by the King of Jin.
Looking at Ruan Jiaqing, the Queen Mother felt more and more that the prince should not have retired from this family business, if she was the prince's concubine, then all this would not have happened today.
O prince...... After all, it was because he was too affectionate, if he hadn't abandoned his fiancée from the beginning, abandoned his fiancée, and fell in love with Ruan Jiaqing's sister, then he would be in the arms of the beauty now.
Thinking of the prince who is still locked up in the Zongren Mansion, the Queen Mother felt a pity in her heart.
"King Jin, the mourning family is looking forward to it, and finally I am looking forward to you." The Queen Mother had a loving smile on her face, she was wearing a Hunan red red makeup satin robe today, she looked younger, and she was wearing armor made of cold jade on her fingers, and she was graceful and luxurious.
"The queen mother is angry, this king is late." King Jin took Ruan Jiaqing and simply saluted the Queen Mother and the others, and then walked to the vacated seat and sat down.
Others are dumbfounded, the King of Jin is now more and more ...... There is no more etiquette.
However, the entire Great Chu has to rely on the King of Jin, and the emperor doesn't dare to do anything about it, so others naturally have nothing to say.
"On the trip to disaster relief, the king of Jin and the princess have worked hard all the way. Through this family banquet, our family has a good get-together, today there is only brotherly affection, regardless of the monarch and minister, everyone will drink happily. ”
When the emperor spoke, everyone was even more relaxed.
Ruan Jiaqing has been staring at one place since he entered the door.
That was the position next to the Queen Mother, Ruan Jingting sat there quietly, looking at her size, it had been more than eight months. I saw Ruan Jingting wearing a pink and white sprinkled gold piping satin placket with a light pink stand-up collar middle shirt, and a pleated long skirt with water sleeves sprinkled with flowers all over the place, swaying to the ground, and the palace maid standing beside her, holding a snow-white jacket for her. She is plump, her face is even more ruddy and healthy, and she looks like she is doing well in the palace.
It doesn't matter whether there is a prince or not, the important thing is that she is the emperor's first eldest grandson in her womb.
Seeing Ruan Jiaqing's direct eyes, Ruan Jingting lowered her head a little weakly. On that day, she was the one who killed Ruan Jiaqing first, otherwise the prince would not have been framed and imprisoned for this.
She thought of the Jin King and his wife too simply, if it weren't for her momentary obsession, why wouldn't it be like this.
If Ruan Jiaqing wants to retaliate against her, she can only cover it with water and soldiers.
What's more, she still has the support of the Queen Mother, and she lives in the palace, Ruan Jiaqing is no matter how good she is, she can't reach the Queen Mother's Cining Palace.
"Fourth sister, this is about to give birth, right?" Ruan Jiaqing's volume was not loud, but it had just overshadowed the music, and everyone present could hear it clearly.
Everyone's eyes looked at Ruan Jingting.
Now that the prince is in prison, his side concubine is still there, and she is pregnant with a child. Everyone never dared to mention the matter of the crown prince, for fear of angering the emperor.
Her hand was gently and lovingly placed on her stomach, her eyes were full of pride and gratification, and her face was round, glowing with pink luster, which was very gorgeous.
She replied: "It's been eight months, and it's still a while before giving birth. Her eyes quietly looked at Ruan Jiaqing.
"As soon as the child in Ting'er's womb landed, the palace became lively." The Queen Mother's face was full of love.
Who doesn't know that the most painful grandson of the Queen Mother's old man is the prince, this is the only child of the prince, and she hurts even more.
She once promised Ruan Jingting that if Ruan Jingting gave birth to a boy, she would be crowned a concubine when the prince came out of prison one day, and also hinted at her that her identity in the future would be unspeakably precious.
Ruan Jingting was immersed in this joy and couldn't extricate herself, and put all her energy on her belly. But she didn't know that it was not certain when the prince would come out, it was a distant matter, even if the prince came out of the Zongren Mansion, it would be impossible for him to ascend to the throne of God again.
The queen mother and the emperor, how could they let a waste person be the future prince.
However, the culprit of all this is Ruan Jingting, who ruined her future with her own hands.
If it weren't for her framing Ruan Jiaqing in order to please the prince, the prince had never offended King Jin, and he would still have a chance to become the emperor one day. And she, even if she can't get to the back seat, is also a concubine. It is not like now, wearing the identity of a sinner's concubine, even if she gives birth to a child in the future, it is also unjustifiable.
"Then congratulations to the fourth sister." Ruan Jia said lightly, with an imperceptible smile in her eyes.
"By the way, I'm afraid the prince doesn't know the news that the fourth sister is pregnant, but has someone been sent to inform the prince?" Ruan Jiaqing had an innocent look on her face, and her words made everyone present hold their breath.
"What the princess said is that this is a happy event, and the prince should know about it. Even if the crown prince is guilty now, he will always be the grandson of the mourning family, and he is also the father of the child in Ting'er's womb. The Queen Mother answered after a long time.
Ruan Jiaqing leisurely ate a piece of snack, and after eating, Qiong'er handed over a handkerchief, she wiped her mouth, and continued the Queen Mother's words: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be very happy to know about this." You must tell the prince clearly about the fourth sister's pregnancy, otherwise the prince won't even remember when he became a father. ”
Ruan Jiaqing had something to say, and all the people present were smart people, how could they not know that she was implicitly referring to something.
As soon as the prince was imprisoned, his side concubine became pregnant.
This is too much of a coincidence, the child she is pregnant with is not necessarily the prince's.
The queen mother's heart chuckled, she was overjoyed, she had never had this problem, and she was convinced of Ruan Jingting's words, and the month was also right, she was pregnant before the prince was imprisoned.
But whether this child belongs to the prince or not, as long as Xiao talks to the prince, he will know in his heart.
The Queen Mother glanced at Ruan Jingting with some sharp eyes, but Ruan Jingting was startled.
The Queen Mother, a woman who has been immersed in the harem for many years, how powerful she is, Ruan Jingting is clear, if the Queen Mother discovers her secret, then she and her children will die without a place to be buried.
She was flustered, but she still pretended to be calm.
"However, it is difficult for the concubine to see the prince now, and if I can, I also want to personally inform His Royal Highness the crown prince of this good news." As he spoke, he still looked pitiful, blinking his long eyelashes, and the crystal tears were about to fall.
Looking at her appearance, most of the Queen Mother's suspicions dissipated, but she always kept an eye on her heart, and when she had the opportunity, she would definitely investigate this matter well, otherwise how could she be worthy of the prince.
"A sinner, what's there to see. The prince committed the great crime of rebellion, and he has been flattened into a concubine, isn't the queen mother old and confused, don't you remember? ”
King Jin said coldly, and the air around him was cold and silent for a while. Everyone didn't expect that King Jin would dare to accuse the Queen Mother in public.
The old face of the Queen Mother is about to be hung up.
What a noble person she is, but she has to be blamed by a junior, and she is almost angry with her.
"Now that the crown prince is vacant, the emperor should appoint another crown prince to calm the people." King Jin's dark and deep ice eyes looked wild and unrestrained, he stared at the emperor like this, and the whole person emitted a kind of king aura that shocked the world.
Looking at his big breath, people who don't know still think that he is the emperor.
