Chapter 181: Plans Change
Su Xiaoqian looked up and saw that the emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, looking down on the courtiers at the banquet with a peaceful smile on his face. Behind him is the queen wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, and then the three princesses.
At this moment, she was standing beside her mother with her head slightly bowed. Su Xiaoqian looked at her stupidly, she was wearing a pale pink dress today, which was long and dragged to the ground, her thin waist was restrained by a cloud belt, and she showed that she did not have a hand, and a Qibao coral hairpin in her hair reflected her face like a hibiscus, and her skin was like clotted fat.
"I'm afraid the Seven Fairies above the Nine Heavens are just like that." He was amazed in his heart, and his eyes were full of amazement.
Tang Muchen on the side signaled that he was a little out of shape, and gently patted him on the shoulder, signaling that he should not be like this in the main hall. Only then did Su Xiaoqian realize that he was inappropriate, and he was ashamed for a while. He quickly lowered his head and sat down respectfully.
"Your Majesty, this year's wind and rain are smooth, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which can be described as the peace and security of the country and the people. The whole country is peaceful. This is all the result of the emperor's love for the people and hard work, Weichen respects His Royal Highness a cup, and wishes the emperor a blessing and longevity. An old minister got up from his seat, holding a silver wine glass in his hand to salute the emperor.
For a while, the ministers stood up one after another, holding wine glasses to congratulate His Majesty in unison.
When the emperor heard this, his heart was happy. He picked up the cup in his hand, stood up from the dragon chair, and asked all Aiqing to drink the wine together.
The third princess, Xiao Yu, looked through the crowd, looking for Su Xiaojin, but found nothing, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart. When she was depressed, the maidservant behind her whispered a few words in her ear.
When she heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her face, but she quickly regained her composure and continued to sit with her head bowed.
Su Xiaoqian knew that she was looking for her sister, but it seemed that she didn't know that her sister was invited to the harem to drink tea by the Queen Mother, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
At this time, Xiao Yu raised his head and looked at him with a blank look, as if there was a message conveyed to him.
Su Xiaoqian couldn't help but reach out and stroke the mutton fat bottle in his sleeve to see if it was still there. My sister told him that he must give it to the princess with his own hands, so he never dared to take it out. Even when other colleagues inquired, he didn't leak half a point, for fear that he would leak the news and be learned by others.
"Wait until the opportunity arises. Right now, your sister is gone, there's no one to help you, wait and see how you behave. Tang Muchen covered his face with a wine glass and said.
Su Xiaoqian nodded, it seems that the situation is really not good now. originally thought that my sister would go with me and take the opportunity to get close to the third princess, but now it seems that things are beyond everyone's expectations.
Here, the Queen Mother pulled Su Xiaojin to talk about her family life. The two sat on the bed and talked cordially. Su Xiaojin felt a little strange in her heart, why didn't the Queen Mother go to the banquet today, but hide in Cining Palace to entertain herself? Could it be that she summoned herself and had other things to do. But in this case, what should my brother do?
"Quick, drink some bird's nest soup, knowing that you are pregnant, it is specially prepared for you." The Queen Mother said kindly.
At this moment, she is not like the queen mother who is not angry and arrogant on weekdays, but more like a kind mother-in-law, who can't help but shush when she sees her favorite junior pregnant.
Su Xiaoqian gratefully knelt down and saluted, but was supported by Mama Zhang on the side.
"The Queen Mother knows that you are pregnant with Liujia, so it is not appropriate to move around. I was afraid that the wine at the banquet would smoke you, so I ordered the imperial dining room to prepare it for you early. What a blessing you have, ma'am! Mama Zhang said with a smile.
She has been with the Queen Mother for many years, except for the third princess and the emperor, she has never seen her so attentive to other people, which shows that the Queen Mother really loves the little marquis.
Hearing Mama Zhang's words, Su Xiaojin suddenly blushed. The Queen Mother exalted herself like this, and she really couldn't afford it.
"Come, have some snacks, don't be too restrained, the mourners are happy to see you." The Queen Mother saw that she was a little unnatural, and waved her hand to let the palace maid bring all kinds of snacks.
In the heart of the Queen Mother, Su Xiaojin is her life-saving benefactor, and it is not an exaggeration to let her be a guest. Don't say it's her, even the emperor should give her some face for the sake of treating herself in the past. What's more, she is Tang Muchen's wife again.
What kind of person is Tang Muchen, the pillar of the court. There is no second person in the world who is so worthy of his trouble.
"Look at your belly, you should be a little world. Have you ever asked the Imperial Doctor? The Queen Mother looked at her bulging belly and asked with a smile.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the imperial doctor said that nine times out of ten it was a baby boy." Su Xiaojin replied honestly. Although she would have preferred a daughter.
The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, and she had a good eye.
"The mourning family remembers that when they were pregnant with the emperor, they were like this, with a pointed belly, and the imperial doctor said that it was a boy, and sure enough, a big fat boy was born. The first emperor was happy and rewarded me with a lot of things in the palace, I watched the little him being held by the nurse, and kept smiling at me, I don't know how happy I was. In a trance, she remembered her years and felt a lot of emotion for a while.
Su Xiaojin listened carefully, wondering in his heart what the Queen Mother meant by these words. She took a lot of trouble to invite herself to drink tea today, I'm afraid it's not just a chat.
"After becoming a mother, you know how happy you are, you watch him babble, watch him grow up, and your heart becomes more and more solid day by day." The Queen Mother was immersed in the past, with a shallow smile on her face.
Later, he married, inherited the throne, and had children of his own. Mourning watched his son and daughter grow up, as if they had experienced their own life again. Fate is really a cycle. At this, she sighed softly.
"Xiao Yun is not sensible, he married away from home, and now I only have the third princess, so I naturally value it more in my heart."
Su Xiaojin chuckled in her heart, she knew that the Queen Mother was definitely not an idle person. She summoned herself today to have something important to discuss, and she was right.
She pretended to be casual, took a sip of tea, and waited for the Queen Mother's next words. When Xiao Yun kidnapped herself, the Queen Mother did not protect her, firstly, she saved her, and secondly, her husband Tang Muchen had a noble status in the court, and she did not dare to be partial.
Hearing this, the nervous palms of the nervous palms sweated. Well, why does this old woman mention the old past? Is it difficult to turn over old accounts?
"I love Xiao Yu, everyone in the palace knows it. But you also know that several of the children in the palace are in control of their own destiny. As a princess, she has to shoulder the responsibilities of a princess. Right now, she is of marriageable age, and how many eyes are staring at the whole country, and the mourning family can only focus on the overall situation and consider it thoroughly. The Queen Mother pretended to be unintentional and continued to ask.
"Who do you think is the best fit?"
