Chapter Seventy-Two: Congratulations from the East Palace

Although this matter may sound like it has nothing to do with them and the Shunhou Mansion. But if the crown prince really falls, then how many eggs will be left under the nest?

At that time, the Heshun Marquis Mansion will inevitably be involved.

It really can't be messed up now, especially when she hasn't married into Shaoguo and hasn't had the ability to protect the Hou Mansion.

So Wang Jibao made up her mind and was ready to mix in it.

On the day of the full moon banquet held in the East Palace, Wang Ziyi, Wang Zilian, Wang Zixiao and others took their sons, and Lin Xi, on behalf of the Xian Wangfu, went to the front hall of the East Palace with everyone to congratulate the prince.

Jiang and Wang Jibao's second aunt Wu, third aunt Liu and others took Wang Jibao and their respective daughters-in-law to the apse of the East Palace to congratulate the crown princess.

After all, now the crown princess Chen is the mother of Su Yanxia's little imperial grandson. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, today is actually a good day for the crown princess Chen.

The East Palace does not belong to the category of the Imperial Palace, but is a small palace built separately on the eastern periphery of the Imperial Palace.

If it is small, it is just a comparison to a real palace.

The structure inside is similar to that of the imperial palace, divided into two parts: the front hall and the apse.

The front hall is the prince's handling of the East Palace and even some government affairs that the emperor let the prince take charge of.

The apse is equivalent to a harem, and many wives and concubines of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince live in it.

Getting in and out of the East Palace is easier than the Royal Palace, but it also has to go through a lot of checks.

Jiang Shi, Wang Jibao and others are noble, and most of the inspections of their entry and exit are just a formality.

Jiang and Wang Jibao and others entered the apse, first went to meet the crown princess Chen, and sent congratulatory gifts.

Chen is dressed today as a red princess. There was a smile of joy on the whole face, and it was impossible to tell that it was cheating. It's as if he gave birth to a son.

Wang Jibao could only secretly admire the magnanimity of the crown princess.

After seeing Jiang and Wang Jibao enter the main hall, Chen immediately invited them to take a seat.

The rest of the group did not receive preferential treatment, and each found a place to sit down.

"Sister Bao, you can come today, my cousin-in-law is so happy." Chen looked at Wang Jibao and said with a smile.

"Today is the big day of the East Palace, and I have to come even if I skip class." Wang Jibao blinked a pair of big black and bright eyes and said with a smile.

"Oh? You're skipping class? Chen asked in surprise.

"Oh. Crown Princess, don't listen to her nonsense. She came with me after taking a leave of absence from her teacher. Jiang Shi glared at his youngest daughter, and then said, "How old are these people, you know how to mess around." ”

Wang Jibao was not afraid, and smiled flatteringly at her mother.

Seeing Wang Jibao playing treasure, Chen covered his mouth and chuckled: "Sister Bao is still so childish. ”

"She's eight years old, and she still hasn't grown. In the end, it's the ones who are spoiled by our whole family. Jiang shook his head helplessly after speaking.

"Mother, you can't always tear down my platform." Wang Jibao said as she coquettishly hugged one of Jiang's arms and shook it.

"The relationship between you two is really the envy of our group!" A noble lady next to her said with an envious expression. She is the daughter of the crown princess, Mrs. Liu.

"Mrs. Chen. You don't know, she's used to coming to this set. Come on, didn't you say you wanted to meet the little emperor? Ask your cousin-in-law for permission to meet the little emperor's grandson. After Jiang finished speaking, he patted Wang Jibao and hugged her arm.

"Cousin-in-law, my mother told me everything. Can I be allowed to meet today's little birthday boy first? "Knowing that the little emperor and grandson are currently in Su Yanxia's place, when the Jiang family came, he specially told Wang Jibao to say that he wanted to see the little emperor and grandson instead of Su Yanxia. This will not make the crown princess ugly.

"Xing'er is at Concubine Su's place, Sister Bao, then let Huansha take you to Yongxia Palace. Otherwise, at the beginning of the full moon banquet, you can only take a look from afar with everyone. The crown princess said with a smile.

She knew that Wang Jibao and Su Yanxia were on good terms, and she also knew that Wang Jibao came with a mission today, so she opened the door to convenience.

Their East Palace has really not stopped lately.

"Then thank you to the princess's cousin." After Wang Jibao saluted the crown princess, she turned to Jiang and said, "Mother, I'll go back when I go, you don't have to worry about me." ”

"Let's go. Don't be self-inflicted here, who will worry about you? Jiang looked at his little daughter with a smile.

"You are my mother, if you don't worry about me, who else can you worry about." After Wang Jibao finished speaking, he stretched out his hands and hugged Jiang before leaving.

"This girl." Jiang's tone of voice was slightly helpless, but the corners of his mouth were raised high.

"Mrs. Shizi, this is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes to have such a caring, lovely, and sensible daughter as Lord Bao." The other lady next to her said enviously.

"You look at her as intimate, but she is actually a tricker." Jiang still habitually smeared his youngest daughter.

"If only I had a daughter like that. It's a pity that I only have one son under my knees. It could have been a marriage. It's good now, but let the idle king take the lead, and set it for the idle king's son early. The lady said with regret.

"Speaking of which, I'm still angry, I originally planned to live a family of women's addictions. This was already extinguished by the idle king. After all, I'm just a daughter like Baomei. Chiang has been obsessed with this matter.

"I also envy you who have daughters, that kid in our family can't say a word except to say hello to me a day." Someone next to him interjected.

“……”

With this incident at the beginning, everyone gradually began to chat enthusiastically.

Su Yanxia is the prince's concubine, and the palace where she lives is naturally good, and it is not far from the main hall of the East Palace.

Wang Jibao took the beautiful scenery and followed the palace maid Huansha assigned to her by the crown princess and walked to Yongxia Palace.

When she arrived at Yongxia Palace, Su Yanxia's dowry was called Hongying, and she had already got the news and came out to greet her early.

As soon as she saw Wang Jibao, Hongying immediately stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "Lord Bao, Concubine Su can't wait to see you." Isn't that just for the slaves to come out and meet you? ”

"What, you're afraid I'll be late?" Wang Jibao joked with a smile.

Hongying said angrily: "Look at what you said, don't we all miss you." ”

"You have a mouth."

After chatting with Hongying for a few words, Wang Jibao said politely to Huansha, who sent her here: "Sister Huansha, thank you for your hard work." Since I have arrived at Yongxia Palace, you should go back to the princess and cousin first. ”

Meijing immediately walked up to Huansha, took out a purse from her arms, handed it to her, and said, "Sister Huansha has worked hard. ”

Huansha accepted the purse, happily saluted Wang Jibao and said, "Slave and maid thank the lord of Bao for the reward." ”

After she stood up, she watched Wang Jibao and Hongying enter Yongxia Palace. At the same time, he also glanced at the palace maid named Ning Juan who was following Hongying.

Ning Juan nodded faintly, and then hurriedly entered with Wang Jibao and the others.

As soon as he entered Su Yanxia's dormitory, a pungent aroma hit. Wang Jibao frowned slightly, and looked at the cigarette that was rising from the incense burner in the direction of the gate of the dormitory.

This fragrance is a little unbearable for ordinary people, not to mention the confinement mother and the baby who is still in swaddling?

But this is the East Palace, and there is no place for her beak. So, Wang Jibao was silent, and took out a handkerchief from her arms to cover her mouth and nose.

Waiting to bypass the screen in front of the bed, Wang Jibao saw Su Yanxia half-lying on the bed and looking out.

"Sister Yanxia." As soon as Wang Jibao saw Su Yanxia, she whimpered and shouted.

This, is this still the somewhat plump Su Yanxia she knew at the beginning?

Now Su Yanxia has only given birth to a child for a month, her face is gray, her cheekbones are prominent, and her whole person is thin and out of shape. Even the long black hair that had been sprinkled on her chest was already dry, yellow, and forked.

What is this like a mother? To escape alive is to be a refugee on the run.

"Good sister, quick, let my sister take a good look at you." Su Yanxia's originally godless eyes became radiant because she saw Wang Jibao. But just saying this sentence is still a little breathless.

Wang Jibao hurriedly stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed to support Su Yanxia. asked with concern: "Sister, how can this be?" Quick, let me help you lie down before you speak. ”

"Sister is fine." After Su Yanxia said this, she subconsciously glanced behind the screen, and then lay down obediently.

At this time, Ning Juan was hiding behind the screen, and through the sunlight, her figure was completely reflected on the screen.

Wang Jibao turned her head, glanced in the direction where Ning Juan was standing, and said lightly: "You all go out, I want to whisper a few words to Sister Yanxia." If you really want to hear it, come over and talk to us about it. How tiring it is to stand behind the screen and listen. ”

"Yes, the slaves and maids are gone." Hongying took the lead in leading all the palace maids out of Su Yanxia's dormitory.

Even if Ning Juan still wanted to eavesdrop, now that she heard Wang Jibao say this, she couldn't continue to eavesdrop. So, he took the handkerchief in his hand and walked out angrily.

When I saw that all of them withdrew. Su Yanxia smiled helplessly, tapped Wang Xibao's forehead and said, "You." ”

"Originally, my sister and I were people with the same temper, but now you have become not like you at all." After Wang Jibao finished speaking, she raised her head to look at Su Yanxia's expression.

"Hey." Hearing Wang Jibao say this, Su Yanxia let out a long sigh. What else could she do?

"Where's the little emperor?" Wang Jibao really wanted to see what the newborn dragon son and grandson looked like. In the future, when this guy grows up, he can talk about his black history.

"In the next room, the nurses take care of it." Speaking of her son, Su Yanxia exuded a loving maternal brilliance. The whole person also regained some vitality.

Looking at Su Yanxia like this, Wang Jibao felt that at least there was salvation.
