Chapter 261: The Dinner Party

The time for the dinner party was approaching, Ning Yunxiao sat on the dresser and let Qingzhu dress up for her, and she didn't wipe anything on her face, but fortunately, Ning Yunxiao was naturally beautiful, even if she didn't wipe anything, she looked better than others slowly. With only a simple jade hairpin on his head, he looks dignified and simple.

After Qingzhu finished dressing her up according to Ning Yunxiao's instructions, she felt a little too simple, and asked with some hesitation: "Master, is this too simple?" "In the past, it doesn't matter if you don't move around casually and dress up simply, but if you can meet with the courtiers tonight, and you are dressed so elegantly, will it seem a little out of line with your identity.

Ning Yunxiao turned his cheeks left and right to look at it, it was good, it was perfect, and said with a smile: "No, this is just right." "Just because the courtier's wife will wear heavy makeup, so she will dress more elegantly, and a little green from the flowers is always easier to attract everyone's attention.

As for whether it will cause jealousy of some people, Ning Yunxiao hooked the corners of her lips, just to attract the jealousy of some people, only when the heart is unstable, it is the easiest to make flaws. Jing Xueqing entered the palace to find Princess Linglong, obviously this person has no one in his hands who can be used, otherwise how could he find someone who has no self-control. As for Princess Linglong, her brain is not very good, but she should still do what Jing Xueqing said, after all, these two people have the same purpose.

subconsciously covered her stomach with her hands, although she knew that she should not be in danger easily, but if Jing Xueqing didn't get rid of it for a day, she would not be able to really wait for childbirth with peace of mind.

Qingzhu saw that Ning Yunxiao was sure, so he didn't continue to say anything, the master naturally had his intentions in doing this. took out the pill for the fetus and gave it to Ning Yunxiao and said, "Let's take one before dinner!" "Who knows what kind of unexpected control there is at the dinner party, it's better to prevent it first.

Ning Yunxiao also thought so, obediently took one, and his brows suddenly wrinkled, since Qingzhu replaced the fetal pill with a pill, it seems that not many people know, so will those people think that they can't take the fetal pill at all, and do something about it?

"What's wrong?" Qingzhu saw that Ning Yunxiao was staring at the pill and didn't eat it, thinking that there was something wrong with the pill, so he sniffed the bottle twice, everything was normal, there was no problem.

"Qingzhu, how many people know about your pill making?" Ning Yunxiao suddenly asked, "How many people handle it?" ”

"I'm afraid that there will be problems, so from catching medicine to boiling medicine to pharmaceutical, I can do it single-handedly, when others ask, I just say that it is a heart-clearing pill, I am afraid that others will know about it and do some tricks." Although Qingzhu didn't know what the other party's intention was in asking, he still said it honestly.

The light in Ning Yunxiao's eyes flashed, hooked his finger at Qingzhu, and commanded a few words in her ear, Qingzhu was a little puzzled at first, and then his eyes widened. Looking at Ning Yunxiao, did the other party really decide to do this.

Ning Yunxiao nodded at her and said yes, if she didn't create some opportunities, how could the other party be willing to come.

At the beginning of the banquet, it was still the ministers who arrived first, and the minister's wife followed into the palace to Ning Yunxiao to meet the queen here. Princess Linglong came early, sat aside, with an arrogant attitude, did not say a word, and everyone did not touch the mold, but just observed with the corner of their eyes, for fear that one would inadvertently offend this Linglong princess.

Princess Linglong lowered her head to taste tea, but her attention was all on the noble woman sitting at the front of the main hall, Ning Yunxiao.

Qingzhu walked in with a bowl of medicine at this time, and the strong smell of medicine suddenly filled the hall, and everyone looked at each other, they had already heard that the queen mother had morning sickness, and she couldn't drink the fetal medicine at all.

Ning Yunxiao frowned, and reprimanded with a displeased face: "Why did you bring the medicine again?" ”

Qingzhu said very aggrievedly: "Niangniang, you try to drink a little, there are so many people today, in case there is something bad, the doctor said, the first three months must be well protected, the slave maid sees that you are in a good state now, why don't you try to see if you can drink some." ”

Ning Yunxiao pursed her lips, a frightened look, everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to persuade or not, Princess Linglong just tried to see if the other party really couldn't drink fetal pills, she could miss such a good opportunity, and hurriedly said: "This is also a good intention, why don't you just try it, after all, the child in this belly is the blood of the royal family, in order to keep the emperor's first child, what is it to endure a little hardship." His eyes were still very disgusted, and he glanced up and down at Ning Yunxiao and said, "In the end, you still have to blame yourself for your bad health." ”

Ning Yunxiao's eyes turned stern without a trace, and after a moment, he relaxed again, with a helpless smile on his face, he took the bowl while covering his nose with one hand, and said, "What Princess Linglong said also makes some sense, since that's the case, I'll try it." Stretched out his hand to bring the bowl over, the palace maid on the side had already prepared the spittoon, and as soon as the medicine bowl was taken in her hand, a wave of nausea rolled up from her stomach, and she quickly handed the bowl to Qingzhu, and spit it out into the spittoon with her head. Because I haven't eaten at night, most of the spitting up is just sour water. This was all a natural reaction, there was no pretense at all, Qingzhu was distressed and anxious to help Ning Yunxiao stroke his back.

Ning Yunxiao originally thought that the resistance to the medicine should have passed the remission period, who would have thought that it would be more serious, but after smelling it for a long time, it would be such a big reaction, let alone drink it.

The medicine bowl has been taken out by the palace maid, and all the doors and windows in the hall have been opened, until the smell dissipates, Ning Yunxiao felt better, cleaned her mouth with water, and then exhaled a long breath, she lost a lot of money today, if she couldn't catch Princess Linglong's small movements, she felt so sorry for her vomiting appearance.

"Mother, are you better?" Qingzhu asked worriedly, "Do you want to call the imperial doctor?" ”

Ning Yunxiao waved her hand, and said to everyone with an apologetic smile: "Let everyone see the joke." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Princess Linglong's fleeting daze.

It turns out that this woman really can't drink fetal pills, it seems that Jing Gongzi's plan still has hope of success, I don't believe it, you can still escape tonight.

"Niangniang, the time is almost up, the emperor sent someone to invite everyone over." A palace maid walked into the main hall and said.

Ning Yunxiao nodded, let the palace maid go down, then got up and said, "It's all the palace that delayed everyone and made everyone wait for a long time." He walked outside first, and said as he went, "Let's go." ”

In the hall where the banquet was held, the sound of silk and bamboo had already sounded, Ning Yunxiao walked in lightly, the music stopped suddenly, Li Yiyan personally walked down from the seat, came to Ning Yunxiao's side to personally support her, and walked towards the seat, not minding what his actions would make the courtiers think.

"Why did you come here so late?" Li Yiyan carefully supported her, like holding a porcelain doll that was easily broken.

This made Ning Yunxiao's head full of black lines, and it was inconvenient for everyone to shake off Li Yiyan's hand, and said angrily: "I'm not so delicate, you don't have to be so exaggerated, right?" "You must not tell Li Yiyan about morning sickness, at least not now, otherwise this guy may get angry in front of everyone, so that Princess Linglong and Jing Xueqing will see the joke, who knows where Jing Xueqing is hiding now and watching secretly.

"I know, but the more weak you are now, the easier it is for people to let their guard down." Li Yiyan replied in a low voice, the real purpose is naturally not like this, he can just show this kind of affection, and some of the ministers of the provincial government and the central government began to move again. According to the companion investigation, some people wanted to stuff him with women on the grounds that the queen suspected that it was inconvenient to serve the emperor. Those women in the harem haven't figured out a way to deal with it, how can they tolerate people stuffing it into the harem again, these things, it's not good for anyone to talk too much, it's suitable to deal with it in the dark, it's better to deal with it so quietly, if you can't, you need to find some other way.

Ning Yunxiao looked at Li Yiyan with suspicious eyes, and always felt that his was not so simple, and he had already reached the position at this time, so he put this idea aside, no matter what, the other party would never harm himself.

Seeing the salute, Li Yiyan raised his hand lightly and said, "Flat." ”

Everyone sat down in turn, and Sui Qing asked the dancers to come up again and continue playing.

There were also people congratulating, Li Yiyan toasted with the other party lightly, Ning Yunxiao sat on the side, without a little impatience, and kept wearing a faint smile, kind and full of majesty.

At this time, the sword dance was performed on the scene, the movements were smooth and elegant, and everyone applauded, and they were attracted unconsciously. At this time, the sword blade suddenly shot directly towards Ning Yunxiao, Ning Yunxiao had a frightened expression on his face, his body turned slightly sideways, and the sword blade wiped his face and shot at Ning Yunxiao's back, everyone was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground, Ning Yunxiao's face was pale, his lips were slightly open, he covered his chest with one hand, and his abdomen with the other, looking overly frightened.

"Xiao'er, are you okay?" Li Yiyan was frightened, and hurriedly asked, forgetting that the woman in front of him was not an ordinary person, and she was not afraid of these swords and swords at all. "Imperial Doctor, go and call Imperial Doctor!" At the same time, he glared fiercely at Princess Linglong. Princess Linglong looked at the busy crowd blankly.

She was really at a loss, she hadn't done anything yet, why did she suddenly become like this? Could it be that Jing Gongzi arranged it? It's impossible, he's still hiding in his yard, there's no way to get out at all, how can he find someone to arrange this matter, there must be someone else. It must be that Ning Yunxiao is too arrogant on weekdays, so many people can't look past it, hum, he deserves it, he is angry, no wonder others can't tolerate it. Thinking of this, Princess Linglong restrained her surprise and showed a hint of pride, and it was because of this proud appearance that everyone fell on her with suspicion.

Princess Linglong has always liked to enjoy the gaze of others, and now that someone is looking at her, she can't wait, how can she think about the meaning of other people's gaze, naturally the more eyes gathered, the happier she is.

"Niangniang was just frightened, she must rest in peace and recuperate, and she can't make any mistakes." It was still the old lady doctor who took Ning Yunxiao's pulse last time, and he had already received Ning Yunxiao's message, so he said seriously. Although I don't know why Niangniang wants to hide the meaning of taking fetal pills, this is not a big deal, since Niangniang has ordered, he is also willing to do it: "Niangniang can't take fetal pills now, so you have to pay extra attention." ”
