Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 14 The Queen Mother's Birthday Banquet
When approaching the Palace of Compassion and Peace, there were more concubines on the road. This was the first time Jiang Man appeared in front of people after she became pregnant. Even though everyone didn't take Jiang Man's pregnancy seriously, when they saw Jiang Man, they thought of what they were trying to do. They wanted to get pregnant but couldn't, and Jiang Man was lucky enough to get pregnant after only serving in bed once. The jealousy in their hearts still couldn't help but burst out, and their words were inevitably sour.

When Jiang Man stepped forward to salute everyone, Yu Jieyu avoided it and said, "Oh, this can't be done, Jiang Cairen is pregnant now, how can she salute me, if she is not careful It is our fault to hurt the child in the stomach."

Yu Jieyu's voice was as sweet as a lark's maiden, but her words were sarcastic and sarcasm, which made people uncomfortable.

Before Jiang Man came, she had already made preparations, and she could ignore such words as if they were deaf ears, and said with a smile: "What did Jieyu say? It should."

Sun Meiren covered the corner of her mouth and smiled coquettishly, "Sister Jiang is very polite, unlike some people who think that she can walk sideways if she is pregnant and has a harem."

Everyone knows who Sun Meiren is talking about. Sun Meiren and Lu Meiren entered the palace at the same time, and they were conferred at the same time. Good luck, Lu Meiren is now almost five months pregnant, and Sun Meiren's belly has not been heard yet.

The two who were originally evenly matched are about to widen the gap. Can Sun Meiren, who is left behind, be able to balance in her heart?

As soon as Sun Meiren finished speaking, Lu Meiren walked over holding the hands of Yingluo and Fei Cui. She glanced at Sun Meiren's belly and sneered disdainfully, "Some people, their stomachs are not up to snuff, so they can only hide behind their backs." If you are sour on others, if you have the ability, you can conceive one yourself."

After saying this, Lu Meiren rolled her eyes and landed on Jiang Man, "Oh, I forgot, there is a pregnant woman here, but this person is different from others after all, even if he left by accident Universiade doesn’t mean anything.”

Lu Meiren attacked indiscriminately, and walked away holding Yingluo and Feicui's hands.

Sun Meiren glared at Lu Meiren's back, "I don't know what to say, it's really noble when I'm pregnant, and I don't know if I will be born."

No one answered Sun Meiren's words, Yu Jieyu smiled and said: "We should go in too, it will be too late if we delay."

Everyone responded, "Yes, yes, let's go in quickly."

Sun Meiren curled her lips, but didn't say anything else, and followed the crowd into the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

In the palace where the Palace of Compassion and Ning hosted the banquet, the wives and royal relatives had already arrived, and some of the concubines who were low-ranking and unfavorable concubines had also arrived earlier. Jiang Man sat in her seat under the guidance of the maid. superior.

The person arranging the seats probably considered that Jiang Man was pregnant with the emperor after all, so she couldn't be too negligent, so although Jiang Man's seat was not in the front row, it was not in the least noticeable corner as in previous years. , but in a relatively middle position.

It's just that she didn't know if the person who arranged the seat was doing it on purpose, or if she didn't know that there was a feud between her and Meiren Lu, the one sitting on her left was Meiren Lu.

When Lu Meiren realized that Jiang Man was sitting under her, she let out a cold snort from her nose, "It's really bad luck!"

Jiang Man glanced at Lu Meiren, then turned her head away.

Lianqiu murmured to Wandong in a low voice, "I'm so mad, because our master has a good temper, he bullied our master, why don't you find trouble with Song Yiyi and Ji Zhaorong if you have the ability."

Wan Dong's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "What's the point of getting angry, don't you want our master to argue with a mad dog that bites people everywhere, that's a drop in price."

Although their voices were very quiet, Jiang Man, who was very close to them, still heard it, and couldn't help laughing. Man Dong didn't speak often, she didn't expect that Man Dong's mouth was quite poisonous.

I don't know if Sun Meiren, who is sitting opposite Jiang Man, has been paying attention to this side. Jiang Man smiled, and she immediately said, "Why is Sister Jiang smiling so happily, but what funny joke did Sister Lu say?"

Sun Meiren's voice was not low, causing everyone around to look at her.

A bit of suspicion appeared on Jiang Man's face at the right time, "Did I laugh?" Then she suddenly said: "I just remembered that I met a group of chirping birds in the garden on the way to the Palace of Compassion, and I didn't pay attention at the time. Thinking about it for a while, the group of little sparrows seemed to be arguing, it was really funny, maybe I couldn't help laughing for a while. Sister Sun didn't tell me that I didn't even realize that I was laughing."

Sun Meiren looked a little unhappy, took a sip from the teacup on the table, and stopped talking.

Those who were at odds with Sun Meiren were unwilling to let go of this opportunity, and said, "I don't know if that little sparrow knows that she makes people laugh."

Jiang Man glanced at Sun Meiren's slightly blue face, smiled and didn't answer.

After the time for a cup of tea, almost all the concubines who were supposed to come from the harem came, and the last one to come was of course Concubine Jiang, who is currently the highest in the palace.

Not long after Concubine Jiang took her seat, the Empress Dowager walked in with the support of the Eldest Princess Jing Xiwan
The Empress Dowager is in her early fifties this year. Due to proper maintenance, she looks like she is in her early forties, very energetic.

Under the leadership of Concubine Jiang, everyone bowed to the Empress Dowager. Before everyone sat back, they heard the eunuch singing: "The emperor is here."

So, everyone knelt down and saluted again.

Emperor Yong'an sat down on the first chair to the left of the empress dowager, waved his hand and shouted to everyone.

When Emperor Yong'an arrived, the birthday feast officially began. Emperor Yong'an was the first to stand up and offer a toast to the Empress Dowager, followed by the concubines in the harem, but only Concubine Jiang, Concubine Wei De and Gao Xian congratulated the Empress Dowager alone There are three concubines, and the rest of the concubines are toasted to the Queen Mother to celebrate her birthday.

Concubines are princes and princesses. Emperor Yong'an has no princes, and there are only three princesses. After the three princesses celebrate their birthdays, they should be relatives of the clan.

After the birthday celebration was over, the palace people began to serve the dishes like flowing water, and the prepared song and dance performance also officially started.

Although the food and wine at the banquet was very rich, Jiang Man didn't dare to touch it at all. Even when she was toasting just now, she only touched the corner of her mouth in a meaningful way.

Unable to eat or drink, Jiang Man had no choice but to turn her attention to the song and dance performance in the middle.I have to say that the song and dance specially rehearsed by the Jiaofang Division for the Empress Dowager's birthday was very exciting. Amidst the bursts of music, the dancers' belts fluttered and the corners of their skirts fluttered. Not to mention the graceful movements, even the curvature of the corners of their mouths was highly uniform.
