After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Chapter 240 The Prince and Princess’ Full Moon Banquet

"Who gave this?"

Huangfu Chenyang was slightly dissatisfied with the fact that others gave him the longevity lock before him.

"Your Majesty, it's a gift from the imperial concubine."

In front of the emperor, Concubine De did not dare to lie easily.

"How dare you accept the things she gave you?"

Huangfu Chenyang looked at Concubine De with amusement in his eyes.

A thin layer of cold sweat instantly ran down Concubine De's back, and her voice trembled slightly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine also has good intentions, and she also wishes Changle well."

Huangfu Chenyang snorted lightly, raised his hand and took off the longevity lock from Chang Le's neck and threw it to the Long Guard beside him, "Take it for examination."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Concubine De saw Huangfu Chenyang's actions, her face turned even paler with fright, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the longevity lock given by the concubine?"

"She gave it to you, so you put it on Changle directly?"

Huangfu Chenyang didn't answer the question.

Concubine De nodded with a pale face, "I didn't think too much about it. I thought the concubine had good intentions, so I didn't let the imperial doctor check her.

Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is very concerned about me and Changle. She probably won’t hurt us. "

"You must be on guard against others, and you must not have the intention of harming others. Your sense of prevention is too weak. How can I safely leave Changle to you to raise?"

"Your Majesty, do you believe me? Changle is the flesh that fell from my body. I will never let anything happen to her."

Concubine De fell to her knees and kowtowed three times.

Huangfu Chenyang looked angry and helpless, "You get up first, I will send the Dragon Guard to the Concubine De Palace to protect you mother and daughter."

After all, the woman who gave birth to his first child, Huangfu Chenyang, finally softened his heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine De was still frightened. She finally saw that His Majesty was wary of the concubine. She had better not get too close to Jiang Qi in the future.

Dr. Wang, who had just left, was invited back. He checked the longevity lock that Jiang Qi gave to Changle many times before coming to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with the longevity lock.

After hearing the words of Imperial Physician Wang, Concubine De secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that His Majesty had wrongly blamed the concubine's sister. She really liked Princess Changle and gave her the longevity lock.

Huangfu Chenyang had already expected the test results of Dr. Wang, and Jiang Qi would not be stupid enough to tamper with the gifts he gave.

"Your Majesty, can you stay for dinner?"

Concubine De knew that Huangfu Chenyang had lunch at Concubine Shu Palace, so she wanted to keep him in Concubine De Palace for dinner, so that she would not be completely defeated.

"No need, I still have official business to deal with."

Hearing Huangfu Chenyang's refusal without hesitation, Concubine De's tears began to well up in her eyes, but she resisted the tears from falling.

"Yes, I understand."

Seeing her aggrieved and forbearing look, Huangfu Chenyang felt a sense of displeasure in his heart for no reason. Concubine De was not like this before. Why did she start fighting for favor after giving birth to the princess? He still liked her as she was before.

Huangfu Chenyang stayed in the Imperial Concubine Palace for a while longer, and then left with the others.

Concubine De looked at Huangfu Chenyang's back and tears finally fell.

"My dear, don't be sad. Your Majesty will come to see you and the princess tomorrow."

Xiangrui listened to Huangfu Chenyang's suggestions. Seeing that her mother-in-law started crying again, she reminded her in a low voice.

"What's the use? In Your Majesty's heart, I and Changle are not as good as the eldest prince and sister Shu." Xiangrui knew that her mother-in-law should not think this way, but she did not dare to persuade her, for fear that her mother-in-law would He took all his anger out on her.

Fast forward to the end of June, and the eldest prince and Princess Changle were also one month old.

On the second day after the birth of the eldest prince and Princess Changle, Huangfu Chenyang ordered people to prepare for the full moon banquet. The Minister of Rites saw the importance the emperor attached to the two children, and he did not dare to neglect at all, and tried to make this event a success. The full moon banquet was grand and successful.

In order to have fun with the people, Huangfu Chenyang specially ordered people to set up flowing water banquets among the people. As long as they said congratulations, they could eat and drink for free.

The banquet hall in the palace had been decorated for a long time. The ministers were all seated in their seats. The emperor and the queen appeared in person holding the eldest prince and Princess Changle.

Concubine Shu, Concubine De, Concubine Xian and Concubine Gui followed behind.

After bowing and taking their seats again, Huangfu Chenyang, the Queen Mother and others also took their seats on high seats.

The full moon banquet officially began. Huangfu Chenyang dipped his chopsticks into a drop of wine and put it on the eldest prince's lips.

The eldest prince smashed his pink little mouth and grinned.

Huangfu Chenyang laughed heartily, "As expected of my son, come here and lick the taste of the meat again."

No matter what Huangfu Chenyang licked for him, the eldest prince always cooperated. When he finished licking, he would smile toothlessly, which made people's hearts melt.

When Gongsun Qiao saw that the eldest prince was so good, she also imitated Huangfu Chenyang and took a piece of meat with chopsticks and brought it to Princess Changle's lips. In fact, she was not letting her eat it, but just letting her lick the taste.

Just when the meat on her chopsticks was about to touch Princess Changle's lips, Concubine De knelt down with a plop.

Gongsun Qiao heard the sound and looked at Concubine De who was kneeling in front of her in confusion.

"Sister De Fei, what are you doing?" Gongsun Qiao's eyes were a little displeased. Did De Concubine choose to kneel to her in front of so many people to ruin her reputation?

"Sister Queen, please don't let the child taste meat. Princess Changle was born in a rough life. In order for her to grow up healthily in the future, my sister plans to feed her a vegetarian diet to increase her good fortune."

Gongsun Qiao raised her eyes and looked at Huangfu Chenyang, "Your Majesty, will this method work?"

Is it okay for children not to eat meat at all? Gongsun Qiao felt it was a bit ridiculous. Right now, the baby is just fine with milk, but in a few months, it will still not be able to eat any meat. Will the baby's body grow well? He will probably be malnourished.

Huangfu Chenyang looked very unhappy, firstly because of Concubine De's nonsense, and secondly because Concubine De was not giving the queen face in front of so many people.

"Who did you listen to?" Huangfu Chenyang's voice was already very cold, but anyone who could observe words and emotions would be able to tell that he was unhappy.

"Your Majesty, I also realized this when I was praying at the national temple."

"Your perception is wrong. How can my child not eat meat?" After saying that, Huangfu Chenyang used chopsticks to pick up meat and tapped it on Chang Le's lips.

Concubine De's body swayed. His Majesty was slapping her in the face in public. Is the queen so important in his heart?

Concubine Shu noticed Concubine De's embarrassment and sadness, and smiled to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, Concubine De also loves her daughter very much, and now she has realized her mistake."

Huangfu Chenyang's eyes fell on Concubine De, "Is that so?"

Concubine De nodded stiffly, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

"Okay, in that case, why don't you go back to your place."

"Yes."

Concubine De did not dare to talk anymore and returned to her seat to sit down. The handkerchief she held tightly showed that she was not at peace in her heart.

"Sister De Fei, this drunken duck dish is good. Try it."

Concubine Xian took a piece of duck meat with serving chopsticks and put it on the small plate in front of Concubine De, with comfort in her eyes.

"Thank you, Sister Imperial Concubine." Concubine De was so moved that she picked up the duck meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

Concubine Shu saw the interaction between the two. Sister Xianfei was indeed right. Sister Defei had changed.
