After Laba, the flavor of the year becomes stronger and stronger.

The prosperity of the capital is still there, and although the weather is cold, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people to visit the market.

Some New Year's goods need to be bought early, and the more you drag the price later, the more expensive it will be.

Walking on the streets, you can see people smiling, carrying ducks in one hand, pastries and other things in the other.

The deposition of the prince was still a distant thing for the people, at least not yet they did not notice any difference from the usual.

However, the hundred officials and nobles felt the taste of the coming wind and rain when the New Year was approaching.

Although no one has come forward to propose the establishment of the crown prince, the confrontation between the third prince King Jin and the fourth prince King Qi has slowly kicked off.

Today, there are officials on the Jin king's side who impeach a certain official close to the king of Qi for embezzlement and bribery, and tomorrow the officials close to the king of Qi will impeach someone on the side of the king of Jin for bullying men and women.

The movements of both sides are not big, it does not hurt or itch, but it makes many people's minds float.

The emperor is not young, even if he considers the emperor's mood for the time being, the matter of establishing the crown prince next year must be put on the agenda.

King Jin and King Qi, how to stand in line?

It was in this subtle calm that Concubine Xian's birthday arrived.

In addition to the queen, concubines with faces like Concubine Xian, Concubine Zhuang, and Concubine Ning, although they don't make a big deal on their birthdays, they receive a lot of congratulatory gifts.

Especially the crown prince has just been deposed, King Qi has become a popular candidate for the new prince, and the birthday banquet of the virtuous concubine suddenly became lively, and even the eldest princess of Rongyang, who entered the palace to greet the queen mother, rushed over to cheer.

This has never been done before, and Concubine Xian is quite proud of it.

Although Jiang seemed to be pregnant, although she avoided entering the palace on the fifteenth day of the first month to greet Concubine Xian, there was no reason to hide from Concubine Xian's birthday.

What's more, she is four months pregnant, and it's time to resume normal interpersonal interactions.

"I wish Niangniang no old in the spring and autumn, and a healthy year." Compared with the congratulatory messages and congratulatory gifts carefully prepared by Princess Qi, Jiang seems to be much simpler, and in the eyes of Concubine Xian, it is purely perfunctory.

"Well, you have a heart." Concubine Xian said lightly.

Jiang seemed to be unimpressed by Concubine Xian's indifference, and Shi Shiran sat back.

Concubine Xian's eyes fell to Jiang Ru's abdomen, and asked, "It's been four months, right?" ”

Jiang seemed to respond yes.

"It's not obvious, you have to move more in the future, it's not good for the child to nest in the house from time to time."

This is to knock her for Jiang Qi's previous refusal to come to ask for peace.

In front of everyone's eyes, Jiang seemed to naturally not contradict him, and said with a smile: "Thank you Niangniang for mentioning it, I remember, and I will often come to Niangniang to say goodbye in the future." ”

Hearing Jiang seem to say this, Concubine Xian was a little relieved.

The eldest princess of Rongyang, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said: "Niangniang is really generous, and her daughter-in-law is not to blame for not coming to ask for peace for a few months." I think when I was pregnant with Yi's child, I would go from the princess's mansion to the general's mansion every day to greet my mother-in-law. ”

She said and looked at Jiang Yi, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly: "Princess Yan is really blessed to meet such a virtuous mother-in-law." ”

The eldest princess of Rongyang has a lot of face in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and for many years, even a harem concubine like Concubine Xian has to respect her, and naturally no one said anything at this time.

Not only will they not say much, but some people will also snicker, such as Princess Qi.

She has really been dissatisfied with Princess Yan for a long time, and now someone can finally step on Princess Yan's face in public, which can be regarded as sulking for her.

Princess Qi looked at Jiang with her eyes, and secretly said that the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and no matter how arrogant and willful Princess Yan is, she will have to endure the cynicism of the eldest princess of Rongyang.

The harem is not as good as the outside, although the King of Qi and the King of Yan are the sons of the virtuous concubines, they only have to leave the palace for a while to celebrate their birthdays, and the ones who really stay with them are the female dependents.

Princess Qi knew that King Yan was a person who even the prince dared to beat, but she didn't believe that Princess Yan dared to speak up under the squeeze of the eldest princess of Rongyang.

Who knew that at this time, a slightly cold voice sounded: "In this way, the mother-in-law that my aunt met is not virtuous enough and has no blessings?" ”

The scene was silent, and countless eyes fell on Jiang Yi, who was sitting upright.

Did they hear it wrong?

The eldest princess of Rongyang did not doubt her ears at all, slapped her hand on the table, and said coldly: "Princess Yan said that I am not blessed? ”

Jiang seemed to smile slightly, his eyes were calm and fearless: "My aunt said it herself just now." You envy me for meeting a wise mother-in-law and think that I am blessed, doesn't that mean that my aunt is not very lucky, and the mother-in-law you met is not virtuous enough? ”

On this occasion, if someone else came to squeeze her, she might be able to endure the work of a meal, but she would not want to endure it for a moment if she replaced the murderer who killed her own mother.

"You're bold!" The eldest princess of Rongyang never imagined that there would be such a bold person who dared to contradict her in full view.

"Princess Yan, casually talk about the elders, this is your upbringing as a princess?"

Jiang Yi raised his chin slightly, and Yun Qingfeng chuckled: "As a princess appointed by my father, when someone questions my upbringing, I naturally want to prove to that person that my father's choice is not wrong." ”

"You-" Jiang seemed to sacrifice the banner of Emperor Jingming so neatly, and the eldest princess of Rongyang was choked to death when she boarded.

Jiang seemed to lower his eyes, returned to his docile and well-behaved appearance, and said softly and comfortingly: "Auntie, don't be sad, even if your mother-in-law is not virtuous enough, it has passed now, and people must always look forward." ”

At that time, his mother and General Cui had already made a marriage, and the eldest princess of Rongyang moved out of the queen mother's backer, General Cui was fiercely opposed at first, and General Cui's mother forced him to die to make him give up the idea of fighting.

She can understand General Choi's mother's choice, but she can't have a good feeling. said that Cui's mother was not virtuous enough, and it was not wronged her.

"Princess Yan, don't pretend to be stupid!" For this kind of comfort, the eldest princess of Rongyang was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, and she didn't appreciate it at all.

The atmosphere was a little frozen for a while.

Jiang seemed to be unaffected, gently stroked his lower abdomen and said with a smile: "It is said that people will be stupid for a while when they are pregnant, thank you aunt for reminding me." ”

The eldest princess of Rongyang is completely gone.

The heavens and the earth are big, and the people who are pregnant with dragon sons and dragon grandchildren are the largest. If she says a few more words, in case this slut is stimulated to have a headache and brain fever, she will not be able to get along with the royal brother and the queen mother.

But the eldest princess of Rongyang has never swallowed her anger in front of anyone except Emperor Jingming and the Queen Mother, and at this time, she only feels that this breath is like a fish in her throat, and it is difficult to swallow.

I'm really at her!

She now believed more and more what Mingyue had said to her before she disappeared.

Mingyue fell to such an end, it must be a game set up by this slut!

The eldest princess of Rongyang squinted at Jiang Xiang.

Jiang seemed to be not afraid to look at her, and his slightly raised chin showed a bit of provocation.

Yes, Cui Mingyue's little target was killed by her, and she would never let go of the little target of the eldest princess of Rongyang.

The eldest princess of Rongyang shrank her eyes.

This slut is provoking again, is it tolerable or unbearable!
