Chapter 103: The Full Moon Feast

In the cold-blooded and ruthless royal family, women are always just playthings in the male world.

The moth put out the fire, obsessed, boiled the green silk into white hair in the flowing years, bowed his head and showed his face, but he could no longer find the smile of Yanran at that time.

That's how it was with Mrs. Han.

She gave birth to a son for the Shen royal family, and she should be considered a meritorious person, but on the day the little prince was born, it became the last moment for her to stay in the world.

Everyone's eyes were on this newborn child, but Mrs. Han, who died innocently, was no longer cared about.

The Queen Mother instructed Aunt Wushuang to handle the aftermath, and Mrs. Han was posthumously given the title and buried in the scenery. still claims to the public that she died in childbirth, but does not mention the grievances of her poisoning and death.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, the bleakness of winter seems to be becoming far away, and the flowers in Yiwanggong are blooming more and more brilliantly, I don't know if it is to celebrate the birth of this child, or to satirize the ruthlessness of this world.

Because Empress Dowager Jiang wanted to see her grandson all the time, she asked Jiang Yi to take the child to live in Suochuntai temporarily, and more than a dozen mothers-in-law and nurses were waiting beside her, for fear of making a mistake.

The child is very well-behaved, even if Jiang Yi is not his biological mother, he never cries or makes trouble. And in everyone's memory, hearing the child's cry was just the moment when he just came out of his mother's womb, and the moment when Aunt Wushuang told Mrs. Han of her death.

After a while, the newborn wrinkled little baby has grown slightly and become pink and jade, and the white and tender pink face is so watery that people can't help but want to kiss it.

Shen Che also seems to have unusual feelings for this child, every time he finishes business, he always has to go to Suochuntai to tease this little milk baby, and it is precisely because of this little milk baby that the relationship between Shen Che and Jiang Yi has also improved significantly.

Although it cannot be ruled out that Mrs. Han's death is related to Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi has really done an impeccable job in raising the little prince, so that Shen Che has nothing to say.

There are fewer people in the harem, and the days are much calmer, Jiang Yi doesn't take the initiative to stir up trouble, and Lu Yingquan is happy. On this day, in Suochuntai, Lu Yingquan was greeting the Queen Mother, and Jiang Yi walked in with the nurse and the child.

"Queen Mother, seeing that the children have been born for almost half a month, Her Royal Highness has not been able to give a name. The concubine thought, when it is mid-May, can you hold a full moon banquet for this child, first, to celebrate the birth of this child, and secondly, to ask His Royal Highness to name this child, I don't know what the Queen Mother wants?" Jiang Yi blessed the Queen Mother and asked.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded her question, but she didn't speak, she only turned her head to look at Lu Yingquan, and asked, "Lu Meiren, what do you think of this matter?"

"Empress Dowager Qi, the concubine felt that Mrs. Jiang was very considerate. The prince of the feudal kingdom also needs to present the name to the emperor after the child is full moon, so that the child can enter the royal ancestral hall and officially determine the identity of the royal family. Lu Yingquan thought for a while and replied, "In order not to delay things, it is also excellent to hold a full moon banquet for the child." ”

"You're right, and the mourning family thinks so too. Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and agreed, "However, now that the back seat of Yiwang Palace is vacant, the concubine is withering, and the mourning family is old, it is not appropriate to work too hard, Yi'er has to take care of the child, I'm afraid there is no time." Therefore, the matter of this full moon banquet will be left to you. How?"

Hearing this, Lu Yingquan raised his head in some surprise and looked at the Queen Mother, as if he didn't understand.

After all, she has been in the palace for so long, and the Queen Mother has never let her do anything, nor has she ever given her any benefits, even if it is the possibility of letting her get rights, she will be strangled in the cradle by the Queen Mother.

But this time, the Queen Mother actually offered to let Lu Yingquan hold a full moon banquet, but what the intention was in this is unpredictable.

Lu Yingquan has always been low-key, she doesn't want to cause any trouble, and she wants to refuse, but she opens her mouth, but she doesn't know what to say.

"Since you don't speak, then the mourning family will be your answer. The Queen Mother waited for a long time, and she didn't know what Lu Yingquan was going to say, so she said to herself.

Lu Yingquan couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother's intentions were for a while, so he turned his head and glanced at Yun Yao with some worry, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

Yun Yao replied with the same look, in front of the Queen Mother, she couldn't discuss anything with Lu Yingquan.

Just when Yun Yao was stunned, the next moment, she heard Lu Yingquan bow down and say to the Queen Mother: "Thank you for the trust of the Queen Mother, the concubine will definitely handle the full moon banquet well." ”

"Sister Yingquan has always been sensible, presumably this full moon banquet can also be very thoughtful and proper. Jiang Yi saw that Lu Yingquan agreed, so he said, "I'll thank Sister Yingquan for this child first." ”

Yun Yao listened to Mrs. Jiang's words, and couldn't help but look up at the chair opposite, but seeing Jiang Yi's sincere eyes and humble attitude, she couldn't help but have a deep doubt in her heart.

Because with Yun Yao's understanding of Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi has always been at odds with Lu Yingquan, and she doesn't want the authority of the Yi Palace to fall into Lu Yingquan's hands, so it is impossible for her to give Lu Yingquan the opportunity for something like the full moon banquet. Even if it is true as the Queen Mother said, there is no one else in the harem who can do it, and if it has to be handed over to Lu Yingquan, it is impossible for Jiang Yi to accept it so calmly.

Therefore, Yun Yao felt that there was probably something greasy in this.

"Madame is polite, the concubine has never organized such an important banquet, what do you not understand, I hope Madame can mention more. Lu Yingquan also said to Jiang Yi very politely.

"Sister Yingquan is too modest, but if my sister is useful to me, even if she speaks, I will definitely know everything about my sister. Jiang Yi's performance in front of the Queen Mother is even more perfect, and people can't find anything wrong.

It seems that since Jiang Yi copied the female ring, it has become even more unfathomable, even if there are any thoughts in her heart, they are all silent, making it impossible to guess her thoughts. The Queen Mother was pleasantly surprised by Jiang Yi's transformation, and valued her more and more.

Seeing Lu Yingquan and Jiang Yi talking, the Queen Mother couldn't help but nod her head, very satisfied: "Now I am really happy to see that you can abandon your previous suspicions and live in harmony." Now there are only two of you left in the Yi Palace, seeing that His Royal Highness has no intention of accepting another concubine, the mourning family hopes that no matter what happens in the future, you will be as harmonious as today, and there will be no more unnecessary disputes. ”

"The concubines follow the teachings of the Queen Mother. Lu Yingquan and Jiang Yi got up at the same time and saluted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was very useful, and after telling them a few more words, she let them all retreat. After all, Jiang Yi still has to take care of the child, and Lu Yingquan is also going to start preparing for the full moon banquet.

It is now the end of April, and there is only half a month before the full moon of the little prince.

According to Daning customs, getting married and having children are the two biggest happy events in life, especially in the royal family, it usually takes a long time to prepare a banquet to show the importance of this happy event.

So half a month is indeed a bit rushed, but fortunately, Lu Yingquan is now in Yiwang Palace, and she is already in a transcendent position, and everyone in the palace knows that she is the top pet of His Royal Highness Yiwang, so no one dares to neglect what she orders.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, Jiang Yi naturally won't let Lu Yingquan go so smoothly, and secretly made a lot of stumbling blocks, but they were all resolved by Yun Yao one by one. Although it was a little bad, it also made Yun Yao sure that Mrs. Jiang had ulterior motives.

"Yun Yao, what are you thinking?" Lu Yingquan walked from behind, looked at Yun Yao holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and asked.

"I'm thinking about Mrs. Jiang. Yun Yao replied truthfully, "I was thinking that she suddenly proposed to the Queen Mother to hold a full moon banquet, and seeing that the Queen Mother handed over this errand to you, there must be another purpose." ”

"Isn't it obvious?" Lu Yingquan said, "The Internal Affairs Department doesn't know how many benefits she has received, and she has embarrassed us several times, and it is clear that it is making things difficult for us." ”

"Yingquan, I want to ask you a question. Yun Yao looked at Lu Yingquan's posture of being a soldier coming to block, and said, "If you are asked to give up the glory and wealth in the palace now, will you be willing?"

"Why are you willing?" Lu Yingquan felt that this question was very sudden, "We have finally come to this point, seeing that we are only one step away from the queen's throne, why should we give up? I swore when I was in Ning Palace that I would become a human being, and I would never let people have the opportunity to bully us in the future." ”

"I see. Yun Yao chuckled, and then said, "Come and see, what kind of name should I give the little prince?" I wrote a few words, but I can't make up my mind." ”

Although Lu Yingquan couldn't figure out what Yun Yao meant by suddenly asking that question, he didn't think much about it, and looked at the few pieces of paper in Yun Yao's hand, only to see a few words written on them.

"That's it. Lu Yingquan picked out the word "Yan" from it, and then said, "I hope he can be as warm and transparent as a beautiful jade, and as bright and enthusiastic as a flame." Even if he ...... He was born with a conspiracy in this cold and unforgiving palace. ”

Yun Yao nodded, burned all the other words, and left the word "Yan" alone, ready to report it to Shen Che.

After a series of preparations, the full moon banquet was basically perfectly prepared, and in the blink of an eye, in the middle of May, Shen Che ordered a banquet for the ministers of Yiguo, and the kings and ministers of the palace of Yiwang had fun.

The court hall was already full of seats, and the ministers arrived within the specified time, sat down according to the grade, and waited for the arrival of Shen Che and the Queen Mother.

The sound of joy filled the entire hall, and the musicians and dancers were already in place, and with the singing of the Jade Gonggong, Shen Che and Lu Yingquan took the lead in entering the hall and sat in the top position.

It didn't take long for the Queen Mother to come in with Jiang Yi, still holding the child in her hands. The Queen Mother's face was filled with a kind smile, as if she hadn't smiled like this for a long time.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Yi, congratulations to the Queen Mother-" As the Queen Mother and Jiang Yi walked to the top and sat down, the ministers below got up and bowed, congratulating Yiguo for ushering in this little life.
