Chapter 82: The Prince
What pulled Xie Fanghua's thoughts back was the child's cry.
The child's crying was very loud, louder and louder, louder and louder, and when I looked at it again, Mama came out with a child in her arms, she was sweating profusely, and walked out with a smile, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, it is a little prince." ”
Prince?
The emperor himself was a little stunned.
Is it really a prince?
Mama walked up to the emperor, blessed her body, and said, "Your Majesty, look at the little prince!" ”
The emperor came back to his senses, and stretched out his hand tremblingly to pick up the child, but he was afraid that his hand would tremble and drop the child, so he steadied his hand before picking up the child, and held it and looked left and right dotingly.
It was Concubine Yu who looked at the child coldly, and couldn't wait to reach out and strangle the child.
Strange to say, the child stopped crying when he arrived in the emperor's arms, but began to laugh with saliva.
Xie Fanghua only glanced at the child and entered the house.
The room was very warm, and after a bend, Xie Fanghua saw Wang Shufei lying on the bed weakly from a distance, her hair was wet with sweat, and the stickiness made Wang Shufei feel very uncomfortable.
When she saw a white shadow in her spare eye, she knew that Xie Fanghua was coming, Qiu Rong walked and saluted, followed Xie Fanghua and walked over again.
At first, Qiu Rong didn't like Xie Zhaoyi, she felt that this Zhaoyi Niangniang came to get close to her concubine Niangniang, just because of the high status of the concubine, she came to tie up her own concubine.
Later, Qiu Rong felt that Xie Zhaoyi's thoughtfulness was too deep, and the lady concubine was kind-hearted, so she might be used by Xie Zhaoyi.
In short, Qiu Rong's image of Xie Fanghua has never been very good.
But now, when people are concerned about the prince, Xie Zhaoyi cares about her family's concubine, so she rushes to this point, making Qiu Rong feel that Zhaoyi is not as unbearable as she thinks.
Zhaoyi Niangniang is a good person.
"What does Sister Shufei think?" Xie Fanghua sat on the side of Concubine Wang Shu's bed, and when she saw that she was about to get up, she personally helped her up.
"It's okay, it's just a little tired." Wang Shufei smiled at her reluctantly.
Xie Fanghua glanced back at Qiu Rong and said with a faint smile: "I want to talk to Sister Shufei alone for a while, Qiu Rong will go out first to take care of the little prince!" ”
Qiu Rong said superfluous words this time, glanced at Concubine Wang Shu, and saw that she nodded reluctantly, so she went out.
"Sister, I have a medicine here that can ......help you recover as soon as possible," Xie Fanghua said as she took out a small blue and white porcelain vase from her sleeve.
After Qiu Rong came out, she was very happy when she saw the emperor personally holding the little prince and gently shaking him - she knew that His Majesty didn't like Concubine Niangniang, but His Majesty was almost forty years old, and this little prince of Niangniang was His Majesty's first child.
Biological.
Unlike Princess Pingle, she is just an adopted daughter, or the adopted daughter of Concubine Yu.
The emperor didn't even want to enter the door, until Concubine Yu reminded him: "Your Majesty, it's time for the concubine's birthday banquet, why don't you go to Qiu Ning Pavilion quickly." ”
Only then did the emperor react, today is Concubine Yu's birthday! He looked down at the little prince who was smirking again, and said, "It's a coincidence, this kid is on the same day as you." ”
Concubine Yu couldn't be happy, she wasn't her child, what did it matter to her when she was born?
The emperor handed over the child to Qiu Rong, and didn't say anything about Wang Shufei, so he left, Yu Guifei glanced at the child in Qiu Rong's arms, snorted coldly, and went to Yongqing Palace.
There were already many people sitting in Yongqing Palace, but Queen Xia had not yet arrived, and Concubine Yu Guifei couldn't start the banquet directly.
Chen Zhiyan sat in a corner, leaning against the wall behind him, and watched Yu Guifei walk in from the outside, and she was exempted from saluting - the people in front blocked her, and Yu Guifei couldn't see her.
Soon after, Queen Xia finally came, dressed in a rose-red palace dress, and forcibly pressed Concubine Yu down.
Concubine Yu's mood was even worse, the queen was sitting on the main seat, she could only sit on the left side, and she couldn't lose her temper, so she only said: "Didn't the queen forget my birthday banquet and come so late?" ”
Empress Xia sneered and said, "It's too late for the palace, what should you do, concubine?" ”
Without waiting for Concubine Yu to speak, Queen Xia said again: "I heard that Concubine Wang Shu of Yanfei Palace gave birth to a prince, did Concubine Guifei go to see it?" ”
She asked this just to arouse Concubine Yu's anger.
The banquet has begun, singing and dancing, Chen Zhiyi looked at the two nobles above, and slowly lowered his eyes.
The dishes on the table are fresh, and there are two things that Chen Zhiyi used to like to eat, such as the beef balls, which were fried to a red color, which should be a fresh chili sauce squeezed from chili peppers, with finely chopped garlic and ginger, and some green green onions, which smelled very fragrant.
And the fried oil cake pork ribs, which look delicious.
But Chen Zhiyu couldn't eat any of them.
As soon as she remembered what had just happened, she panicked.
Brother Jin kills people, presumably my sister knows, right? But why did they kill that palace maid, or rather, why did Brother Jin kill so many people?
Chen Zhiyi thought of the dagger in Murong Jin's hand again, which was stained with blood......
Chen Zhiyi's breath was suffocated, and seeing that no one came to the empty position on the right side of Queen Xia, his heart was even more panicked.
She heard that Concubine Wang Shu gave birth to a little prince, because of her weak body, Concubine Yu's birthday banquet must not be able to come, so the position on the right must be her sister's, but Queen Xia is here, and her sister has not come yet, where is she?
Didn't Brother Jin say that my sister was here?
What the hell is going on?
Brother Jin said that the little palace maid saw the scene that she shouldn't see, and knew what she shouldn't know, and then her sister wasn't there, could it be ......
Chen Zhiyi suddenly reacted.
There is also the last battle in Western Vietnam and Chongqing, Murong Jin was injured, that medicine leads.
Chen Zhiyi probably guessed something.
But she didn't know whether this kind of thing happened between Brother Jin and her sister, whether it was good or bad.
On Qiu Ningge's side, there were about a dozen courtiers, the Yu family had Yu Shangshu and Yu Wu, Xie Lenran and Murong Jin sitting together, and some ministers and their sisters-in-law.
The ministers all knew that the emperor favored Concubine Yu, and even invited some men into the palace for her, and they themselves came to see them in person, so a few of them brought their own sons-in-law, hoping to be favored by the emperor, and then seek official positions in the court.
Moreover, when he heard that Concubine Shu had given birth to a son for His Majesty, His Majesty seemed to be very happy, and he had already drunk several glasses of wine just a short time after the banquet began.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on having a son, and Weichen respects Your Majesty with a glass of wine!" Yu Shangshu also got up with a wine glass, although the child was not born to her daughter-in-law, Yu Guifei, but there should still be etiquette.
The emperor sat and picked up the wine that Sheng Zong had just poured for him, smiled lightly at Yu Shangshu, and then finished the wine.
It's amazing.
The emperor was able to finish the wine, not only because he was happy to have a son, but also because of his respect for Yu Shangshu.
Yu Shangshu also earned enough face, was in a good mood, and said two good words before sitting down again.
"Father." Yu Wu laughed softly, "Concubine Shu's child and sister are born on the same day!" ”
Yu Shangshu listened, but did not answer Yu Wu's words. However, Yu Wu was already accustomed to his father's attitude towards him, and he didn't plan to be angry, so he still smiled lightly in a good temper.
Xie Ran rubbed Murong Jin's arm and said, "Brother Jin, you haven't said a word since you came in, didn't you see your cousin?" Still not happy? ”
When they entered the palace together, Xie Enran felt that there was something wrong with Murong Jin, and after walking a distance, Murong Jin said that he was going to meet Xie Fanghua and asked him to go to Qiu Ning Pavilion first.
Shouldn't Brother Jin be happy to see his cousin? Why do you seem preoccupied?
"It's fine." Murong Jin said.
"Brother Jin, I'm ......" Xie Eran wanted to say something, but when he saw that Murong Jin's face was not very good, he stopped talking.
Murong Jin didn't know what Xie Ran wanted to say, and he didn't want to know, even if the other party stopped halfway through speaking, he didn't bother to ask.
Xie Fanghua has been chatting with Concubine Wang Shu in Yanfei Palace to tease the child, and asked Qingzhi to tell Concubine Yu that she would not go, and she didn't care what Concubine Yu would do to her in the future, anyway, she just wouldn't go.
"This kid is very well-behaved, with big eyes, like you." Xie Fanghua nodded the little prince's fleshy face and said with a smile.
"Isn't Fanghua this kid recognizing you as his godmother?" Wang Shufei smiled slightly, and suddenly remembered such a thing.
"There's no hurry." Xie Fanghua smiled.
Xie Fanghua didn't go to her birthday banquet, and Concubine Yu was not angry, she was just worried.
What are you worried about?
It's not that she's worried that Xie Fanghua won't come and lose her face, she's just worried about Princess Pingle.
The child was not under house arrest, so she wanted to walk around, and before she left, she smiled and said that she would definitely arrive at Yongqing Palace on time, but now half of the banquet time has passed, and she has not seen her adopted daughter, Princess Pingle.
Where did she go?
Although she is an adopted daughter, it has been more than ten years, how can Concubine Yu have no feelings for her?
It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that Concubine Yu is not a tiger, if she can, she still hopes that this adopted daughter can be well, even if Princess Pingle has caused her a lot of trouble.
"Go find the princess." She commanded the palace maid behind her.
"Yes." When the palace maid heard this, she hurried away.
Empress Xia watched the palace maid leave through the side door and smiled lightly.
Chen Zhiyi also noticed Concubine Yu's movements, she didn't understand it at first, but when she looked around, she didn't find Princess Pingle, and she understood it all of a sudden.
Princess Pingle is gone?
That's nice.
Wait......
Princess Pingle is gone!?
Chen Zhiyi suddenly became energetic.
It can't be because of Brother Jin and Sister, right?
Chen Zhiyi sat up straight, glanced at Empress Xia, who was smiling slightly, and Concubine Yu, who was a little anxious on her face, and then looked at the position that had been empty on the right side, and let out a "groan" in her heart, screaming that it was not good.
