Chapter 9: Ambition is Hard to Reward (2)

Although Xuan Yu has been crowned the king of praise, but he has not yet decided to marry and has not left the palace to live separately, today his mother Li Yanniang was disliked by the queen mother because of the previous incident, so she did not have to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, so Xuan Yu and his brother at this time at the same table.

Xu noticed my gaze, and the woman in palace clothes sitting next to Xuan Zhe called him softly, but the two brothers didn't notice it at all. The woman seemed to have an uneasy look on her face, and she was stunned for a moment before carefully pulling Xuan Zhe's sleeve, but she didn't want Xuan Zhe to turn her head back, so she pulled her sleeves and continued to talk to Xuan Yu, without even looking back at her for half a minute.

Looking at the figure of the woman who forbears her grievances and is calm, I suddenly feel unbearable. Raising his voice and calling: "Holy ......"

When Xuan Zhe saw me calling him, he hurriedly got up and walked quickly to him, bowed and said, "Mother." ”

With a shallow smile on my face, I said slowly: "Today's family banquet, why didn't Sheng'er bring his daughter-in-law to toast with your imperial grandmother and father?" ”

Xuan Zhe was stunned for a moment, and Fang Zhiran smiled and said, "Erchen has lost his honor." After that, he turned around and called the woman in the palace costume to toast and pray to the Queen Mother and Bao Yuan.

I quietly looked at this "King of Qin" concubine, about fifteen or sixteen years old, slender, eyebrows and eyes gentle, beautiful and lovely, and her demeanor was also generous and decent, but she had always been obsessed with words, and she had always asked for peace and banquets in the palace, which was not very eye-catching.

Looking at this not very outstanding "daughter-in-law", my thoughts couldn't help but drift away, thinking about what a clever person my father was, and why my granddaughter was so silent. Xuan Zhe grew up beside me since he was a child, and his temperament is always lively, and he doesn't know that the two of them are husband and wife...... Just when I couldn't stop sighing, I saw that Xuan Zhe had come to me with Shuzhen to toast.

I smiled and waited for the two of them to speak, and was about to drink the wine in the cup, but I didn't want Bao Yuan to interject on the side: "Sheng'er, your mother and concubine should not drink alcohol recently, so this cup of wine will be drunk by my father and the emperor on her behalf." ”

Again?! I looked at Bao Yuan suspiciously, he was addicted to alcohol today.

was out of his mind, but he heard the Queen Mother whispering with concern: "Rui'er, are you feeling unwell?" ”

"After returning to her mother, Rui'er is fine." I got up to reply, but before the words fell, I saw Bao Yuan holding me with one hand and said, "Today is a family banquet, you don't have to stick to these rules, sit and talk in peace, I feel tired and panicked when I look at the ups and downs." As if it wasn't enough, he turned sideways and said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother has never loved these false courtesies, right?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled, looking at me with a little deep meaning.

Jin Yan was helping the Queen Mother to prepare vegetables at the moment, and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, what is in the body of Concubine Hui's sister...... Today's wine emperor is all blocked and not allowed to drink, and now I am afraid that she will be tired......" said and suddenly stopped, only pursed his mouth and looked at me and smiled.

The Queen Mother thought about it for a while, and suddenly her eyes were bright, and she said happily: "Isn't Concubine Hui happy?" Oh, this is not a great joy, quickly, quickly spread to Ling Xuan. ”

What? Pregnant?! Why do you say that I am happy?! The joke is too big.

I knew that something was wrong, and I was busy explaining to the Queen Mother, but when I saw Bao Yuan looking at me with a wicked smile, and there was a look in his eyes that he was holding hands and watching a good show, I couldn't help but lose my mind for a while.

Forget it, if you come, you will be safe, and when Ling Xuan comes, you should ask for a safe pulse.

Sure enough, in the Queen Mother's slightly disappointed expression, the fact that I was not pregnant was confirmed, but it was inevitable that I would have to be taught by her old man that the heir is the foundation of Guozuo Yongchang.

was secretly waiting for the Queen Mother to persuade Baoyuan to be wet with rain and dew; Second, persuade Baoyuan to accept concubines; 3. Persuade Baoyuan to take care of the body; Fourth, persuade Baoyuan...... But she didn't want the Queen Mother to turn to Ling Xuan and said, "Imperial Doctor Ling, I heard that your wife is four months pregnant?" ”

"Empress Dowager Xie cares, Neiko is indeed nearly five months pregnant." Ling Xuan replied respectfully, and there was a joy on his face.

"Okay, good, there are successors to the Ling family, it's really a happy event." The Queen Mother said to me: "Rui'er, Mrs. Ling has always been close to you, and you have to work hard this time when she is pregnant." "The Queen Mother's words, people are pregnant, what am I trying to do? It's true, it's really disrespectful.

I gritted my teeth secretly, but I inadvertently saw a trace of loneliness flashing on the face of Xuan Zhe, who was standing with his hands hanging down.

Seeing him in such a situation, he couldn't help but feel worried, could it be that he still can't forget Bingyu to this day?! Looking at the princess beside him again, there was also a faint look of loss.

Looking at Xuan Zhe and Shuzhen, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart, they are all the best youth, but they are about to ...... Alas, since ancient times, how many husbands and wives have not been "willing"? Looking back at Jinyan again, she quietly accompanied the Queen Mother to talk, and between her low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, where was the casual girl who used to fight grass and gallop horses beside her beloved!

Unconsciously, I have taken the glass of wine and drank it all, the cold aroma of wine echoed in my mind, forcing a cold shiver, but there was a trace of warmth in the cold, how fortunate I am, with him by my side! Looking back at Bao Yuan, he was also looking at me with a smile at the moment, his good-looking eyebrows and eyes were doting, his heart became warmer, and the corners of his lips were bent.

The moon in the sky is bright and the stars are sparse, and the banquet is staggered, and suddenly there is a group of singing and dancing to rise to the ordinary years, how quiet and unharmed.

The Queen Mother was very old, so she sat down for a while and went back to the palace to rest with Jinyan.

When the Queen Mother left, Bao Yuan ordered everyone to be more casual, and ordered the wine and food to be replaced with melons, fruits, and snacks. In order to please Bao Yuan, everyone present is funny, the auspicious words of the Tao auspicious words, from the lively, only to see Wang Zhao far away from the seat, kneeling in front of him for a moment, raising a glass to Bao Yuan and said: "It is a festive season, and the people of the world congratulate the emperor and Concubine Hui. ”

"Oh, congratulations to me and Rui'er, I don't know why Zhaoyuan came to congratulate?" Bao Yuan raised his eyebrows, full of interest.

Wang Zhaoyuan has always been able to welcome people, I have never liked it very much, but Baoyuan has always treated him kindly. I only heard that he arranged a lot of flattery here, in addition to praising Bao Yuan's merits and virtues, he also brought me and Bao Yuan how deep and affectionate, husband and wife love...... Every word was said to Bao Yuan's heart, and he laughed and was extremely happy.

Wang Zhaoyuan saluted Baoyuan wine, turned around and said to me with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Hui Niangniang led the concubines of the harem to make new winter clothes for the front-line soldiers, I was really moved, Niangniang's compassion can be a model for future generations, this is really the blessing of my Dashu!" Said that he ordered someone to take a plate of new fruits, and said thoughtfully: "The minister smelled that Niangniang should not drink, Zhaoyuan is now offering a plate of fresh fruits to congratulate, and I wish Niangniang and the emperor ......" is a long and long-winded word, and I am tired of it.

I smiled helplessly and motioned to Zhiqiu to take the melons and fruits offered by Wang Zhaoyuan, and said politely and perfunctorily: "Lord Lao bothered. ”
