At the beginning of the banquet, the banquet was almost full.

Shen Huo and He Suoyi entered the hall with the Queen Mother, and after looking around, they found that the position on the left hand side of Xia Concubine was empty, so they asked, "Hasn't Concubine Lin arrived yet?" ”

As soon as she heard Shen Huo ask, Du Qinyue hurriedly got up and replied: "Back to the emperor, Concubine Lin is a little unwell, and the concubine thinks that she is old after all, and there are already many people at the palace banquet, so it is not good if something happens, so she specially allowed her to come later." ”

During the questioning, Shen Huo did not stop, so he was already sitting in his seat at this time, nodded and said: "Now her body is indeed not suitable for participating in these occasions, let people go and talk to Concubine Lin, she doesn't have to come over today, it is snowing outside, and it is inconvenient to come." ”

"Yes, the concubine will order someone to pass the word, and then let someone go to the imperial dining room to send a meal to Concubine Lin."

Du Qinyue responded to what Shen Huo said one by one, and even thought more thoughtfully, looking at Shen Huo's satisfied look, Du Qinyue was secretly happy in her heart, but her face was very calm and turned around and gave a few orders to Xiu'er.

The singing and dancing at the banquet were not outstanding, but they were indeed a little more innovative than in previous years, and Shen Huo was not disappointed.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family looks at the wine jugs placed in this banquet with a lot of patterns, you can also take a look."

It was originally a lively scene, but after the Queen Mother's words came out, it suddenly quieted for a moment, Shen Huo looked at the wine jug in the banquet carefully, and then looked at Du Qinyue with some surprise on his face and asked, "I don't know why Concubine Shu made this arrangement, what is the saying in this?" ”

Du Qinyue originally wanted to deal with it casually, she didn't want to use the method she relied on to make Shen Huo look at her differently, but looking at the curious looks of the people present, Du Qinyue was still duplicitous.

"Back to the emperor, the wine jugs on this palace banquet were all exactly the same, but on the eve of the banquet, the concubines suddenly had an idea, so they temporarily asked people to find some wine jugs again."

Shen Huo stopped when he heard Du Qinyue only say this, and looked at Du Qinyue lightly, Du Qinyue was a little hesitant, not knowing if he would be debunked by He Suoyi if he continued to speak, but after looking at Shen Huo's eyes, he was a little careless.

"Of course, this is not a casual search, it has its own exquisiteness, but this trick is only in front of women, but men do not have it, just like the queen has a cluster of peonies on her wine jug."

After hearing this, everyone present began to carefully look at the wine jug in front of them, and then looked at the others again, and found that it was really different, He Suoyi was not surprised by Du Qinyue's actions, and looked expected.

Du Qinyue was about to say something more, when the palace maid beside Concubine Lin appeared at the banquet and said, "Your Majesty, our little master has just walked around the courtyard, and for some reason the abdominal pain does not stop, it looks like he is about to give birth, please ask the emperor to move over." ”

These words shocked half of the people at the banquet, and Shen Huo couldn't care about the banquet, so he hurriedly instructed Du Qinyue a few words, asking her to take care of the palace banquet, and arrived at the gate of the palace in an instant.

The Queen Mother also stood up and wanted to join Shen Huo, He Suoyi stepped forward to support the Queen Mother, and the two left the table together, and the rest of the people had different thoughts, but they had no idea of continuing.

Du Qinyue was also anxious to end the palace banquet and wanted to see if Concubine Lin's production was going well, so everyone hurriedly exchanged a few words of greeting and ended the palace banquet.

When Shen Huo arrived, the experienced grandmother was already busy in the house, and the imperial doctor was also waiting outside, Shen Huo was a little anxious when he heard the movement from the house, but he couldn't go in because of his identity, so he had to pace back and forth outside the house.

When He Suoyi and the Queen Mother arrived, what they saw was the scene of Shen Huo spinning around like a headless fly, and the Queen Mother saw Shen Huo like this, and said with relief: "You don't have to be anxious, I think Concubine Lin is a blessed person, and she and the child will be fine." ”

Shen Huo nodded, and said with some expectation: "The imperial doctor told me earlier that this fetus is very likely to be a prince, and I have already named him early. ”

"Oh? I don't know what the emperor's name is, can you talk to the mourning family? ”

"Why not? And the name originally given to the fourth son was Shen Yi, but now it seems that it needs to be changed. ”

The Queen Mother asked with some doubts: "Why do you want to change it?" Now that the emperor has decided on the name, I think it was carefully considered, right? ”

"This time it was indeed decided after thinking about it for a long time, but Erchen did not think that Concubine Lin would give birth to the prince on Chinese New Year's Eve, so in this way, this child's birthday will be spent with Chinese New Year's Eve every year in the future, and Shun will think of adding another word to his name."

He Suoyi, who was standing on the side and waiting, said after hearing Shen Huo's meaning: "Your Majesty, since you intend to add another word to the names of the four princes, then this word is chosen by the concubines, okay?" ”

Shen Huo was already entangled and didn't know what word to choose, but when he heard He Suoyi speak, he readily agreed.

"Since the queen has a heart, then this word is up to you, in this way, even if this name is taken by you and me together, this child will definitely be a blessed person in the future."

Looking at the harmonious appearance of the two, the Queen Mother sat aside and didn't know what she was thinking.

After He Suoyi got Shen Huo's consent, he frowned and thought about what kind of word to choose, looking at He Suoyi's serious face, Shen Huo's originally anxious heart calmed down a little.

The three of them were all thinking about their own thoughts, and in this case, the palace people naturally did not dare to make noise, and they all waited quietly on the side.

I don't know how long it took, He Suoyi suddenly spoke up, and said: "It's better to add a sheng behind Yi, today is the day of singing and dancing, but this promotion is too ordinary, so take its homonym, how about it?" ”

"Shen Yisheng? Shen Yisheng. ”

Shen Huomo read it twice and said, "Very good, very good, just use Sheng." ”

He Suoyi suddenly smiled at the corner of his eyes, and said in a brisk tone: "The emperor can decide which Sheng the concubine is talking about, and he is not afraid that you and I will say different words." ”

"Ayi, it's not hard to guess your thoughts, after so many years, if I can't even guess these things, it's too much to say, right?" Shen Huo was obviously a little helpless, but his words were full of love.

Suddenly there was a baby's cry in the room, and then the grandmother walked out, with a smile on her face, and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen mother, the queen mother, Concubine Lin gave birth to a prince." ”

Shen Huo couldn't suppress his joy, and directly pushed open the door that only opened a crack and walked straight in.

The Queen Mother looked at He Suoyi, who looked a little lonely, and said: "Ayi, it's a good thing that the emperor has added an heir, you don't have to make such a look, so as not to let others take advantage of the topic in the future, the water in the harem is already very deep, you know a lot of these things now, you also behaved very well a few days ago, how can this be like this today?" ”

He Suoyi didn't pay attention to the Queen Mother's last question, but just said with a very teachable appearance: "The queen mother has remembered what the ministers said, and the ministers will definitely pay attention to their words and deeds in the future, and there will be no second time in today's events." ”

also knew that He Suoyi was really uncomfortable in his heart, and the Queen Mother only said a few words before she gave up, and the two went into the house together to see the newborn fourth prince and Concubine Lin who had just given birth.

Concubine Lin was lying on the bed with a pale face and looked very weak, Shen Huo was sitting on a stool on the side looking at the four princes in Mama's arms, Concubine Lin looked at Shen Huo on the side without blinking.

The voice of the palace people in the house asking for peace to He Suoyi and the Queen Mother aroused the attention of Concubine Lin, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at He Suoyi and the Queen Mother who had just entered the door, and said a little apologetically: "The current situation of the concubine can not salute the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, please don't blame the concubine." ”

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, and walked straight in the direction where Shen Huo was sitting.

He Suoyi naturally couldn't be like the Queen Mother, so he said: "What are you talking about, now we are all looking at your situation, how can we worry about you because of these trivial things." ”

Concubine Lin was relieved, and then turned her head to look in the direction of Shen Huo's side, He Suoyi felt a little uncomfortable after seeing this scene, and said as if unintentionally: "The emperor just said at the door that he has already named the fourth prince, does Concubine Lin know what it is?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know about this, and she asks the queen to solve her doubts for the concubine."

He Suoyi was just to divert Concubine Lin's attention, so there was no need to sell Guan Zi, so he said directly: "The fourth prince is called Shen Yisheng, the radiant Yi, the Shengge Sheng, what does Concubine Lin think?" ”

Concubine Lin felt that He Suoyi was a little abnormal, but she didn't find anything wrong, and said respectfully: "The name chosen by the emperor is naturally good, but I don't know if the nickname has been thought of?" ”

"Let's talk about this later, but the emperor personally said that this child must be blessed in the future, Concubine Lin must teach it well, don't let down the emperor's words today."

After He Suoyi finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong in his heart, worried that Shen Huo would be dissatisfied with him because of this matter, so he glanced sideways at Shen Huo slightly, and found that he didn't pay attention to this side, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother saw all these things in her eyes, but this was not something worth mentioning, plus she was happy to see He Suoyi unhappy because of Shen Huo's affairs, which just showed that He Suoyi still valued Shen Huo very much in her heart now.

The imperial doctor had already written the prescription on the side, and after walking over, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, now Concubine Lin is weak and needs to recuperate. ”

When Shen Huo heard this, he stood up and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the Imperial Doctor has already said so, let's leave first, it is already a little inappropriate to delay today, if you stay here for a long time, it will inevitably cause criticism." ”

The Queen Mother did not stand up directly, but drank all the tea in the cup, and was helped up by the grandmother on the side.
