On the day of Concubine Li's birthday banquet, the emperor only entertained the princes and their wives and concubines, and did not entertain other ministers. ”

Shen Qingyan sat in the carriage and looked at Yin Qi next to him, with a little worry in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Yin Qi looked at Shen Qingyan with a smile as he took out a bag of things wrapped in butter paper from his sleeve.

"Concubine Li's birthday banquet did not invite ministers, only the prince, obviously she wanted to announce something or do something, and she didn't want some ministers to stop her." Shen Qingyan just pointed to this point, she believed that Yin Qi understood what she meant. What the emperor wants to say today is probably related to the throne, and even if he doesn't directly announce the final result, he will warn the princes side by side.

"I know." Yin Qi opened the butter paper packet and took out a piece of pea yellow and stuffed it into Shen Qingyan's mouth, "His warnings have never been useful to me, and who will sit on the throne in the end has never been up to me, the incompetent father, to decide." ”

"......" Shen Qingyan heard Yin Qi's attitude, and some of her hanging hearts were put down, she never worried about whether Yin Qi could sit on the throne, she was only worried about Yin Qi's emotions. So, in the end, she just looked at her slightly stunned and pointed to the pastry that had stuffed her mouth in surprise.

"I stole it from the kitchen, don't worry, the housekeeper wasn't scared this time." Yin Qi pinched Shen Qingyan's nose with a smile, Shen Qingyan has been controlled by Cui Wei these days, and he hasn't eaten a piece of pastry, and the whole person is a little wilted, Yin Qi looked distressed, so he followed Shen Qingyan's example and stole some snacks from the kitchen.

"......" Shen Qingyan didn't speak, and when he heard Yin Qi mention the events of that day again, he glared at him fiercely, and silently chewed the pastry in his mouth. The pea yellow texture is dense, sweet and rich, glutinous in the mouth, it will melt away immediately, and the sweetness will continue to her heart along Shen Qingyan's tongue.

When Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan got down from the carriage, they happened to meet Yin Yuan and Shen Wanyan, who came to the palace to attend the banquet.

Yin Yuan watched Yin Qi help Shen Qingyan get out of the car, the intimate appearance of the two aroused his jealousy, and glanced at Shen Wanyan who stumbled and stumbled off the carriage on the side, if it wasn't for Concubine Li telling him to bring this woman, remember not to offend the Shen family and lose face, he wouldn't have brought this woman. Yin Yuan glanced at Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan on the side again, waved his sleeves and walked straight into the palace gate, ignoring Shen Wanyan behind him. Shen Wanyan looked at Yin Yuan, who entered the palace alone, and then looked at the guards on the side, her face was embarrassed, she could only hold the long dress with both hands, and walked into the palace by herself, from beginning to end, without looking at Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan on the side.

Yin Qi half-hugged Shen Qingyan, entered the palace together, and whispered in Shen Qingyan's ear: "It seems that your sister is not doing well." ”

Shen Qingyan turned his head a little puzzled, and raised his eyebrows to look at Yin Qi: "How can I hear a little schadenfreude from your tone." ”

"It's not a few points, I'm just gloating, the worse she is, the happier I am." Ever since Yin Qi listened to Shen Qingyan talk about his experience in his previous life that day, he couldn't wait to torture Yin Yuan and Shen Wanyan to the point that life was worse than death.

"......" Shen Qingyan just smiled, how could he not know what Yin Qi thought, it's just that she doesn't want to let the hatred of these two people affect her current quiet and peaceful life, but if these two people threaten the people she loves, then she will never give up, and let her settle the hatred in the past and present life.

Shen Qingyan held Yin Qi's hand, although the scenery in the palace was beautiful, it always exuded a sense of depression, Shen Qingyan looked around boredly, but inadvertently found that there were two figures waving to him on the tree not far away. Shen Qingyan grabbed Yin Qi with some surprise, and looked at it, the two were his brother and future sister-in-law, and the two of them were smiling like fools waving at him......

"Why did they come, didn't they just feast on the prince and his wife and concubine." Shen Qingyan didn't respond to the two of them, and asked Yin Qi calmly.

"Your brother said he was coming to protect us." Yin Qi replied to Shen Qingyan equally calmly.

"They're here to see the fun." Shen smiled lightly.

"I think so." Yin Qi smiled back.

"Can we pretend we don't know them?" Shen looked at Yin Qi with a smile.

"Yes." Yin Qi looked at Shen Qingyan with a smile.

So, Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan Quan didn't see the two of them, and walked straight towards the lobby.

"Why did they ignore us?" Zhang Jinyu asked Shen Qingchen with a frown, pouting dissatisfiedly.

"Maybe we're not enthusiastic enough." Shen Qingchen thought carefully for a while and solemnly answered Zhang Jinyu's question.

Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan came to the lobby, and some princes were already there, and next to them sat Fujin or side Fujin who were dressed up in fancy clothes. Yin Yuan also sat in it, drinking wine a little gloomily, and Shen Wanyan sat silently on the side without speaking.

Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan changed roles, and Yin Qi looked stupid on his face. Like a child, Shen Qingyan smiled lightly, took Yin Qi's hand, and walked to the place where they should be sitting.

On the way from the door to the seat, Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan received a lot of attention, most of them were curious about this couple, and it is estimated that these people have a lot of after-dinner tea talk about Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan. There are also many people who are jealous of Shen Qingyan, today Shen Qingyan didn't dress up very deliberately, she still didn't apply fat powder, and she pulled up a bun scatteredly, an apricot-colored dress, but even so, she still couldn't cover her bright color, although Shen Qingyan didn't plan to cover it at all.

"Qingyan, you're here!" As soon as Shen Qingyan sat down in his seat, he heard a cheerful call from the side, turned his head suspiciously, and found that it was Zhao Mengtong, the third prince's Fujin, who had a very pleasant conversation when the prince was choosing a concubine.

At this time, Zhao Mengtong looked at Shen Qingyan very happily, the third prince sat aside, half-hugged Zhao Mengtong, first called Yin Qi very forcefully, and then nodded to Shen Qingyan with a smile, and then never left Zhao Mengtong.

"Mengtong, what are you...... Bun in the oven? Shen Qingyan looked at Zhao Mengtong's high and bulging abdomen at this time with great surprise, which was very incompatible with her slender figure, and the whole person exuded the joy of being a mother soon. Shen Qingyan was very happy for Zhao Mengtong, but there was a faint doubt in his heart, in the last life, Zhao Mengtong had a son after the third prince reported his retirement, how could this life be so long advanced.

"Yes, this little guy is making a fuss, and he often does it for me." Zhao Mengtong complained on his lips, but with a loving smile on his face, his hand gently caressed his abdomen.

"Can I touch it?" Shen Qingyan was eager to try, but he still asked Zhao Mengtong's permission first.

"Absolutely." Zhao Mengtong smiled and took Shen Qingyan's hand, put it on his abdomen and stroked it gently.

Shen Qingyan felt the fresh life in Zhao Mengtong's womb very clearly, and the magical feeling actually made her a little teary-eyed, and she had an urge to be a mother in her heart, she could think of her current situation, and when she thought of Yin Qi's forbearance eyes on weekdays, sadness and guilt surged into her heart together.

"He must be healthy." Shen said to Zhao Mengtong with a smile, showing no signs on his face.

"Thank you for your blessings." Zhao Mengtong smiled and thanked Shen Qingyan, then turned around and continued to talk to the third prince.

Shen Qingyan just turned around, and felt that his hand was held by Yin Qi, Shen Qingyan raised his head, looked at Yin Qi's eyes, and knew that he saw what he was thinking just now, and wanted to relax himself, he felt a little warm in his heart, smiled at Yin Qi, and signaled that he was fine.

Yin Yuan poured another glass of wine from the interaction between Shen Qingyan and Yin Qi on the side, and drank it all, and his cheeks were already a little red because of drinking.

"Drink less, after all, it's the mother's birthday banquet." Shen Wanyan didn't want to humiliate herself, but seeing Yin Yuan drinking so unrestrainedly at the birthday banquet, she was worried about his body and worried that he would lose his temper, so she finally stopped it.

......What Shen Wanyan didn't expect was that Yin Yuan just glanced at her coldly, and didn't say anything nonsense to make her unable to get off the stage, and the wine glass in her hand was finally placed on the table.

Shen Wanyan looked at Yin Yuan like this, and finally exhaled calmly. However, she is very self-aware, and she will not and dare not think about Yin Yuan finally waiting for her to have a good face, after all, he has just left her alone to enter the palace, but Yin Yuan is also a little measured, knowing that this is at Concubine Li's birthday banquet, and will not do anything out of the ordinary.

Yin Yuan put down his wine glass, and glanced at Shen Wanyan. He really glanced at Shen Wanyan seriously until this time. Today, Shen Wanyan is wearing light makeup, her hair bun is delicately pulled up, and she is wearing a long water-red dress, which is very gorgeous, completely different from Shen Qingyan, but it turns out that she is also very good-looking, and among the women Yin Yuan has played, she can be regarded as a middle-class posture. Yin Yuan retracted his gaze lightly, and noticed that it didn't mean that he would no longer be disgusted with this woman who married him by any means and ruined his plan to marry Shen Qingyan.

"The emperor has arrived! Concubine Li is married! The eunuch's shrill voice sounded.

The originally noisy lobby quieted down, everyone looked towards the door, and bowed, except for Yin Qi, Yin Qi was very dutifully playing a stupid prince, who was stuffing the fruit in the fruit bowl into his mouth.

Concubine Li took the emperor's arm and walked into the lobby with lotus steps. Today, Concubine Li wore a red dress, embroidered with very delicate embroidery, which made her whole person graceful and luxurious, with some jewelry inserted in her high bun, one of which was a water snake-like step swaying was very eye-catching, and the makeup on her face was a little colorful, although it did not match her beautiful face, but it was also delicate. At this time, Concubine Li held her head high and sat down with the emperor on the upper seat, as if this was not her birthday banquet, but her post-sealing ceremony.

Concubine Li glanced at Yin Qi, who was eating fruit and did not salute, and did not show any special emotions, as if she didn't know Yin Qi's secret at all, just sat on the main seat as usual, staring at the people below.

"Let's be flat." Yin Xiao smiled and let everyone accept the gift, "Today is Concubine Li's birthday, I came to celebrate my beloved concubine Haohao, and I also came to enjoy the joy of family, so you don't have to be formal." ”
