Chapter 371: Dragon Boat Festival
Whether this matter is important or not, it must be told to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess now.
In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Shuhuang received a letter written by Gu Yuling from Shao Gongzheng's people.
In the letter, Gu Yuling said her guess about the fifth princess Qin Shuchun.
After reading the letter, Qin Shuhuang handed the letter to Xie Xuanye next to him.
"Did the fifth princess know the secret of Concubine Liu Gui and King Peace? So he was imprisoned by Concubine Liu Gui? ”
Xie Xuanye bowed, "It's very likely, in this case, I'm afraid it's not far from the time for them to make a move, and we must immediately set up precautions." ”
"It's the Dragon Boat Festival soon, do you think they will choose this day?"
Xie Xuanye's gaze met Qin Shuhuang's, and both of them revealed affirmation in their eyes.
Every year on the third festival, a family banquet is held in the palace, and if the regent and the king of peace are interested, this is the nearest and best opportunity!
In a blink of an eye, it is the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.
The weather for this year's Dragon Boat Festival is not good, early in the morning, the sky is overcast, as if a downpour is brewing.
A few days ago, the palace had already posted that a family banquet would be held in the palace on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and all relatives and friends would be invited to the palace for a banquet.
Qin Shuhuang sat in front of the dressing table, and Ruihe Ruimiao and a few people dressed him.
In the past few days, her morning sickness has improved a lot, she can eat some things, and her face has visibly recovered.
Before the fat powder is applied, it is already radiant.
Shilan took the Jiangnan fat powder newly sent by the Internal Affairs Office, and prepared to show off her skills to give Qin Shuhuang a beautiful makeup, so that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess would shine at the banquet today.
Just as he was about to put on Qin Shuhuang's makeup, Qin Shuhuang pushed away the fat powder that Shilan had taken.
"You don't need this, just make the main palace haggard."
Although Shilan was puzzled, she still did as Qin Shuhuang instructed.
Shilan's craftsmanship was very good, and she only slightly smeared some whitish fat powder on Qin Shuhuang's face, which covered up the rosiness on Qin Shuhuang's cheeks.
He also gave Qin Shuhuang a flat eyebrow with a light color, and finally put on a lip grease similar to the color of his lips, and in this way, a haggard and sick beauty appeared in the bronze mirror.
Xie Xuanye disguised himself as Xuan Cang and rode a horse with his personal guards to escort Qin Shuhuang's carriage.
Half an hour after the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion departed, the carriage of the Zhenbei Wangfu Zhenbei King set off from the front of the mansion.
Inside the carriage sat Xie Zhuo, who was wearing the mask commonly used by the king of Zhenbei.
Today, royal relatives and important ministers will enter the palace for banquets.
The banquet was arranged at Yuzhao Palace.
When Qin Shuhuang entered the palace, many royal relatives and courtiers had already come to the Yuzhao Palace.
When Qin Shuhuang entered the banquet hall, everyone saw her, and a few people came to greet her.
When everyone saw her haggard face, they sighed and talked behind their backs.
Although Qin Shuhuang was valued in the court as a woman, no matter how well she did, the king of Zhenbei did not accompany her when she went to the banquet, which shows that the king of Zhenbei was extremely dissatisfied with the eldest princess.
Recently, I heard that the emperor is not in good health, and it is rumored that the emperor is still at odds with the eldest princess, I am afraid that it will not be long before Dawu's court will completely fall into the hands of the regent, and the royal siblings will really fall from the clouds.
No wonder Qin Shuhuang's face was so bad.
If this were to be them, my face would be even worse!
Qin Shuhuang was supported by the big maid beside him and sat down.
Not long after, the regent also came to the main hall.
Unlike Qin Shuhuang's coldness when he came, many people crowded around the regent, and they were close to the regent.
The regent is like the head of a large family, surrounded by the stars and the moon.
When King Ping came, some of them went to salute King Ping.
Whether it is the regent's side or the Ping king's side, they are many times more majestic than Qin Shuhuang, the eldest princess.
Qin Shuhuang sat in his position for almost half an hour before the king of Zhenbei arrived.
The positions of Qin Shuhuang and King Zhenbei were arranged together, and the two sat side by side, but they were like a pair of strangers, falling in the eyes of others, let alone Qin Shuhuang and King Zhenbei.
The banquet invited royal children and important ministers to come one after another.
Qin Shuhuang actually saw Gu Hongchao near the gate of the main hall.
At this time, Gu Hongchao was dressed in a three-poinsettia official uniform, raised his wine glass and was talking with the official next to him, full of spirit.
Qin Shuhuang tugged at the corners of his mouth, it seems that King Ping is really willing to give up his blood, and the official position of the waiter of the Sanpin Rite Department is said to be given to Gu Hongchao, compared with the previous life, it is even better.
At this time, the palace ladies began to serve the food.
Qin Shuhuang didn't expect that there would be fish at today's banquet.
In order to prevent her from being disgusted again, in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the entire kitchen was free of fish.
Now that he smelled this fishy smell again, Qin Shuhuang couldn't control his gagming.
Rao is Xuancang had already asked people to bring the fish down at the first time, but Qin Shuhuang still reacted.
Shilan Shiyu hurriedly helped Qin Shuhuang to change clothes in the side hall next door.
Xuan Cang's face was full of worry, and he also followed behind Qin Shuhuang.
Others may not pay much attention to where Qin Shuhuang is sitting, but Gu Hongchao has been staring at it secretly.
Seeing Qin Shuhuang's reaction, Gu Hongchao's face turned dark.
Bai Lingge was pregnant before, and asked a doctor, and after seeing Bai Lingge, the doctor explained many precautions for maids, and he was with him, so he also listened.
The doctor said that pregnant women should not smell fishy, pay attention to their daily diet, and try not to eat fish.
At that time, Bai Lingge couldn't even use the fishy chicken eggs, and his reaction was exactly the same as Qin Shuhuang!
Could it be that Qin Shuhuang, a slut, is pregnant?
But on the way to Beidi, King Zhenbei didn't follow at all, and just now she reacted, King Zhenbei, who was sitting next to her, didn't ask a word as if she hadn't seen it, but Xuan Cang behind her was full of worry......
Gu Hongchao's fist on his knee clenched instantly.
His eyes narrowed dangerously.
I'm afraid that this evil seed in Qin Shuhuang's stomach is not the king of Zhenbei, but Xuancang's!
This pair of adulterers and silver women, they must have hooked up when Qin Shuhuang was in the Gu family!
I don't know how the King of Zhenbei will deal with Qin Shuhuang, a slut, if he knows about this.
Rao is king of Zhenbei no longer cares about Qin Shuhuang, and he will never allow his wife to conceive another man's child!
After resting for a while in the side hall, Qin Shuhuang returned to the main hall.
At this time, the eunuch who gave the first salute sang loudly, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
The crowd rose one after another.
After a while, Qin Shumin led people into the main hall.
He was emaciated, his face was pale and blue, and the clothes that had fitted him now seemed to be hanging on him.
Hearing everyone salute, Qin Shumin raised his hand, as if he had lost the strength to speak.
Xiao Rang, who was still next to him, said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, sit down." ”
After taking his seat, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
After Qin Shuhuang sat down, Xia Qianwei knelt beside him and took care of Qin Shumin.
After the banquet starts.
Qin Shumin, who was wearing a dragon robe, seemed to have become a foil, and the important ministers stepped forward to toast the regent one after another, but no one stayed by Qin Shumin's side.
There were even many people toasting to Concubine Liu Gui and King Ping, but Qin Shumin became the background board for everyone.
There was a lot of laughter and laughter in the main hall, but all this seemed to have nothing to do with Qin Shumin and Qin Shuhuang.
At the climax of the Dragon Boat Festival, the imperial city was already in a roar of shouting......
