Chapter Seventy-Five: Not for Her, For the Child
There were four palace maids standing in the flower hall, and the leader was Mama Gui.
"The crown princess is well, the slave and maid are here to serve you for breakfast today, the queen has already gotten up, and will have a tea ceremony in Yu Jingxuan for a while."
"I know, thank you Mama Gui, and ask Mama Gui to thank her mother for Yu'er in a while." Ran Ziyu smiled and took a seat.
Ran Ziyu knew that Empress Xiao sent the grandmothers around her to serve her for breakfast, which meant that she was paying attention to her. Perhaps, in order to comfort her on the wedding night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in her room, but went to Concubine Lu.
Looking at the table of dim sum in front of him, a piece of potpourri cake, a bowl of jade eight-treasure porridge, a small plate of jasper cucumbers and other unnamed, but quite delicate side dishes.
Ran Ziyu got up in the morning on weekdays, his appetite was very bad, and he took a bite or two of millet porridge, and no matter how Xin Nu persuaded him, he refused to eat more. It's just that I tossed for too long last night and my body was tired, so I unconsciously ate these breakfasts, and Xinnu, who was standing quietly on the side, was even more puzzled.
"I wonder where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone?" Ran Ziyu got up with a smile and asked. According to the rules of Da Yue, the bride should go to the tea ceremony with her husband.
A trace of unnaturalness flashed on Mama Gui's face, and a trace of sympathy flashed, but she still smiled very politely, "Crown Princess Niangniang, you will be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Yu Jingxuan in a while." ”
It stands to reason that even if the groom is drunk, he will still be sent back to the wedding couch in the end, not to mention that this is the wedding night of the prince of Dayue. This...... Did Xuanyuan Hao do it, or did it ......
However, the tea ceremony on the first day was the most important, and she went alone as a bride...... It's so faceless, isn't this telling others that the prince wasn't here with her concubine last night?
Ran Ziyu smiled coldly, "Yes, Mama, let's go." ”
Cai Wei took the fox fur and put it on Ran Ziyu, and Mama Bai had already opened her umbrella and was waiting by the door.
"Mama."
"Yes, the crown princess, please." After that, Mama Bai led Ran Ziyu all the way to Yu Jingxuan in front of the stage in the Imperial Garden.
When the group of them arrived at Yu Jingxuan, Ran Ziyu saw that there were many people sitting inside, and some musicians were playing music.
Mama Gui asked her to wait outside the door, and she bowed in first to report, and then came out, "Crown princess, please." ”
Ran Ziyu slowly went in with the support of Cai Wei, and was just about to kneel down to greet Queen Xiao, when an old lady brought a tray with a cup of tea on it.
Is this about to be a tea ceremony? What does the queen mean, don't you plan to wait for Xuanyuan to accept it?
She frowned, and was about to take the tea, when her hand was grabbed by another bony hand, she looked up, and the man in front of her was dressed in a black crane feather coat, wearing a golden cotton robe, the placket and cuffs were embroidered with dark brocade thread auspicious clouds, and the waist was tied with a Tengyun Panlong belt. This gorgeous and down-to-earth dress makes him look extraordinary and cold.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
He looked apologetic and held Ran Ziyu's hand, "Yu'er, it's because my husband is late, I ...... last night Last night......"
Ran Ziyu saw that the guilt and pain on his face didn't seem to be pretending, so he interrupted him with a smile, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is still here, let's have tea first." ”
Xuanyuan Cheng heard Ran Ziyu's words, and there was some closeness in his tolerance, and his mood was much better. Immediately bowed his head, smiled lightly and took the tea with her.
He is very satisfied with today's Ran Ziyu, who is beautiful and generous, tolerant and decent, worthy of being the crown princess he personally selected.
Empress Xiao thought that she would serve tea today, but Xuanyuan would not be able to inherit it. For the sake of Xuanyuan's blood in Lu Jinwei's stomach, she had to help Lu Jinwei, drugged Xuanyuan Cheng's wine, and sent him to Lu Jinwei.
Ran Ziyu followed Queen Xiao's helpless eyes and looked over, only to know that when Xuanyuan Cheng came in a hurry, there was a pot-bellied woman behind him, and he was standing aside at the moment. Preferably, it is the concubine on the side of the land.
Ran Ziyu and Xuanyuan Cheng knelt together on the two cushions that the old mother had already prepared, and Xuanyuan Cheng toasted the tea first, "Queen Mother, drink tea." ”
Empress Xiao looked at Xuanyuan Cheng lovingly, as if there was a faint mist in her eyes, took his tea, and took a shallow sip, "Cheng'er has finally become married, and she has fulfilled the wish of this palace." Now that you have a family, you need to be cautious and careful in your future actions, and you must not be as impetuous as before. ”
She knows that her Cheng'er has a deep affection for Yu Yatou, but this Yu Yatou does influence his Cheng'er. Now, my sweetheart has been married, and I hope to do less foolish things in the future.
Xuanyuan Cheng said respectfully: "Yes." ”
After Ran Ziyu toasted the tea, Xuanyuan Cheng took her hand and sat down with her, and then looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Jinwei, who had been standing aside, looked at Xuanyuan Cheng without even looking at herself, and was a little disappointed, but she was a little relieved to think that he was staying with her, the side concubine, last night. But Xuanyuan Cheng pulled Ran Ziyu, he took her hand, and kept smiling softly at her, as if the candle in the cave room last night was her and his. And what about her? What is she?
Mama Chen, who was waiting beside her, secretly tugged at the corner of her clothes and reminded her that it was time for her to make tea. She walked over slowly, and because her body was inconvenient, she slowly knelt on the cushion with the support of Mama Chen.
Qingli's face was gentle and calm, smiled lightly and politely, and served tea, "Queen Mother, please use tea." ”
Empress Xiao frowned slightly, took the tea, took a shallow sip and put it down, "Wei girl, your body is not convenient, doesn't this palace allow you to be exempted from the tea ceremony?" ”
Lu Jinwei smiled, "The queen mother is sympathetic to Jinwei, it is the queen's mother who is kind, but Jinwei can't be rude, because she is pregnant with a child, she will break the rules of the ancestors, Jinwei, she must come." ”
Hearing this, Empress Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy, get up quickly." ”
"Yes, Jinwei, thank you, Queen Mother." Lu Jinwei got up slowly, her body was already very inconvenient, and although she was supported by her grandmother, there was still a thin layer of sweat on her sideburns.
In front of everyone's eyes, Lu Jinwei walked towards Ran Ziyu, and a palace maid immediately brought tea on a tray. She gracefully reached out to pick it up, and gave it to Ran Ziyu with both hands.
According to the rules, the new side concubine is going to give tea to the main concubine. Just because Lu Jinwei and Ran Ziyu married in the palace on the same day, the tea ceremony was naturally on the same day.
Ran Ziyu smiled, "Concubine Lu is physically inconvenient and still follows the etiquette rules left by the ancestors, which is moving. At the same time, he reached out to pick up the tea.
As soon as she touched the teacup, a sharp pain came from her fingertips, which made her smile on her face, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. And the teacup actually fell backwards with Lu Jinwei's body, looking very much like Ran Ziyu refused to accept the tea, and pushed Lu Jinwei, who was pregnant.
Lu Jinwei fell to the ground, and the tea was spilled.
The crowd couldn't help but let out an exclamation. This princess is too jealous, the prince went to Concubine Lu at night, so he pushed Concubine Lu, and Concubine Lu was pregnant with Xuanyuan's blood.
"Yu girl, what are you doing!" Empress Xiao's face was gloomy, and her voice unconsciously raised a little.
Ran Ziyu completely ignored what was happening around her, and only looked at her fingertips distressedly, ten fingers connected to her heart, just now she was really hurt.
"Yu'er, are you okay?" Xuanyuan Cheng saw that Ran Ziyu had been looking at her fingers, so he took her hand over. He saw Ran Ziyu when she was eleven years old, although she was not a kind and simple girl, but she was also above board, so she would not do these things. At the same time, he sneered at Lu Jinwei in disgust.
Lu Jinwei frowned at the smoke and willow mist, her eyes were full of tears, but she couldn't bear to let them fall, looking very aggrieved, "Sister, Jin Wei knows that she shouldn't have left the prince last night, Jin Wei knows that she is wrong, her sister is the concubine, Jin Wei has never thought about anything, why is my sister doing this to me?" ”
"Crown Princess, Concubine Lu got up early in the morning, just thinking about asking the queen mother to say goodbye earlier, and asking you to make amends, you just blame Concubine Lu for robbing you of your favor, you shouldn't push Concubine Lu, what is in Concubine Lu's stomach is the blood of the Xuanyuan royal family." Mama Chen helped Lu Jinwei and said indignantly.
Ran Ziyu only treated Mama Chen as a loyal but stupid dog and ignored it. Looking at Lu Jinwei, there was an indifferent smile on Chun Wei's face, "Concubine Lu might as well say that I pushed you directly, so aggressive, and said that she didn't think anything." ”
"Lu Jinwei, what kind of person Yu'er is, this prince knows very well, what kind of person you are, this prince also knows very well." Xuanyuan said in disgust. In my heart, I admired Ran Ziyu again, the women in the palace have always beaten around the bush, and it was the first one to say it directly like her. It's just that her words were too unconvincing in advance of what just happened, so he said to help.
"Your name hasn't been added to the jade of the Zongren Mansion yet, so why don't you never add it?"
Hearing this, Lu Jinwei's face was like earth, didn't Xuanyuan Cheng mean that he had divorced her? But she only got married yesterday and was divorced today, so she is a joke in the world.
Holding his belly, his brows furrowed, "Belly...... My stomach ......"
"Concubine Lu, what's wrong with you?" Mama Chen asked anxiously.
"Tummy, stomach ache...... Queen Mother! Queen Mother! ”
Empress Xiao half-squinted, and after watching her call her several times, she beckoned and summoned Mama Li, "Leave Concubine Lu to rest, and send a doctor over to take a look." ”
"Yes, Queen!"
Ran Ziyu watched Lu Jinwei being taken down by the palace people, the painful expression on her face was too real, and she didn't know whether it was real pain or fake pain. After looking at her for a long time, he let out a long sigh. This poor woman, but she just wants to keep her husband's heart, but unfortunately her husband's heart is never in her, so she wants to use the child...... No matter what she does, as a mother, she should protect her children well, and not risk her children to seek anything for herself.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." She let out a low cry.
Hearing this low call, he was in a better mood, and he couldn't wait to immediately pull her back to their wedding couch to complete the regret of the candle night in the cave room, "What's the matter?" ”
"You go and see Concubine Lu." After a pause, "Not for her, for your children." ”
