The princess married: the black-bellied general is happy to be a father

Chapter 20 Palace Banquet 1
Chapter 20 Palace Banquet 1
It was almost noon, and the officials entered the palace one after another.

Seats at the banquet are divided according to official position, the fifth emperor's uncle is under the dragon chair, and the prince sits with him.

Further down are Gu Yuting and some families with titles, and further down are officials such as the prime minister.

On the opposite side are the men, and on the other side are the women.Mu Yunchu and Concubine An are at the same table, and Concubine Fang, mother and son are at the top.

The little prince is only a few months old now, and he is babbling in An Concubine's arms, An Concubine holds her carefully, for fear that the little prince will bump into Mu Yunchu.

Mu Yunchu looked at the woman with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes beside him, thinking about her fate in her previous life, her heart couldn't help but soften a little.

"Miss Anpin, can I hug my brother?" Mu Yunchu stretched out his hand.

In the previous life, the little prince fell into the water and drowned when he was five years old. Concubine An went crazy and uttered wild words that Concubine Fang had murdered her son, but she couldn't produce evidence.

The emperor didn't have the heart to execute her, and placed her in the harem to take care of her, but she hanged herself in front of Concubine Fang's bedroom on a heavy rainy night.

Concubine An was flattered to look at Mu Yunchu, and nervously put the little prince into Mu Yunchu's arms: "It's Chun'er's blessing that the princess is willing to hug Chun'er. Chun'er is very naughty, if you hurt the princess, please Don't be offended."

"It's okay." Mu Yunchu hugged his younger brother, looking at the little milk baby in his arms, liking him tightly.

"Caiyue, I remember that my safety lock is in the cabinet, you go and get it." Seeing his younger brother's bald neck, Mu Yunchu turned his head and told Caiyue.

Chun'er was very active, and her little claws scratched Mu Yunchu's ears several times, which made Anpin turn pale with fright.

But Mu Yunchu was not only not angry, but took off the earrings, and explained to An Bin at the same time: "My brother likes to grab things and stuff them into his mouth. I am afraid that the earrings will choke him, so I won't let him play with them."

When Chun'er was born, Mu Yunchu was already married. In her previous life, she occasionally met Chun'er when she went back to the palace. This child always hid in a corner and peeked at her quietly.

Mu Yunche had a sister who was in pain, and Chun'er knew that Yun Xiang and Mu Yunche were siblings, so she subconsciously got close to Mu Yunchu.

But Mu Yunchu was influenced by Concubine Fang, and she didn't like Chun'er very much in her previous life.Chun'er gave her a slingshot, and Concubine Fang criticized Chun'er for giving such a cheap thing to the first princess. Mu Yunchu was led by the nose, thinking that Chun'er deliberately humiliated her.

How did she know in her previous life that even though Chun'er was a prince, his treatment was vastly different from Mu Yunche's. The slingshot was his only toy.

Memories of the previous life flooded into his mind, Mu Yunchu had mixed feelings, and the look in Chun'er's eyes became more and more cherished.

Seeing that Mu Yunchu liked Chun'er, An Pin was filled with joy.

"Miss An, do you know why my father asked me to sit at the same table with you?" Mu Yunchu's quiet face revealed a majesty that ordinary people don't have.

An Pin was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "I don't dare to speculate on the Holy Will."

"If my mother is still alive, this princess should sit next to the queen."

There was a smile on Mu Yunchu's face, but what she said made An Pin's heart skip a beat: "Princess, I'm joking, I've never had anything wrong with this concubine."

"Naturally, you shouldn't have unreasonable thoughts, but empress, don't underestimate yourself. You are a noble empress who gave birth to a prince for your father, and she is no worse than Concubine Fang."

A woman is weak, but a mother is strong.In her previous life, in order to avenge Chun'er, she would risk her life.

Mu Yunchu believed that An Bin had her backbone.

It's just a pity that she used her backbone in the wrong place in her previous life.

"Father and Queen have no one in the palace. Both Chun'er and Che'er are princes. They are the same. Father will not treat the two younger brothers favorably. Empress, you shouldn't feel that you are inferior to Concubine Fang."

Seeing An Bin's nervous appearance, Mu Yunchu said that as well.

……

Caiyue went back to the palace to get her things, when a man dressed as a eunuch suddenly walked her way, startled her.

After seeing clearly who came, Caiyue frowned: "Why did you come into the palace?"

The princess had a correspondence with this man, whom she knew.

Han Xing pulled Caiyue into the dark: "Let the princess come out to see me, I have something to report."

Caiyue hesitated for a while before nodding: "I'm only in charge of reporting, whether the princess comes to see you or not is none of my business."

At the banquet, the emperor was rewarding and awarding the generals who have made great contributions one by one. Caiyue walked quietly to Mu Yunchu's side with her head down, and when she handed over the safety lock, she whispered: "The man who has been writing to the princess is outside. , Said there was something to report."

Mu Yunchu immediately thought of the Tianji Pavilion, and glanced in the direction of the envoy of the Xuan Kingdom without any trace.

"The banquet was very boring. I carried Chun'er out for a walk." Mu Yunchu said to An Bin in a low voice.

Concubine An was about to get up, but she pressed it down: "I'm here to take care of Chun'er, Ma'am, you can't be absent casually."

If only Concubine Fang was present as the empress concubine, others would think Concubine Fang was more favored.

Although An Bin is a responsible person, she is also a sensible person.

"Then there is Princess Lao."

Yunxiang glanced suspiciously in Mu Yunchu's direction: "Doesn't she hate children the most? She's starting to pretend to be virtuous?"

Today, Mu Yunchu actually took care of Chun'er all the time, and the kid she teased didn't cry or make trouble, which made all the men at the banquet watch her quietly.

"Your father is awarding generals, don't talk too much." Concubine Fang reminded in a low voice.

Yun Xiang had no choice but to shut up.

Outside, Han Xing, who was dressed as a little eunuch, immediately saluted Mu Yunchu.

"You don't need to be too polite, let's walk with this princess." When he reached a place where he was sure no one would hear what he said, Mu Yunchu looked at the man carefully: "You have the ability to pretend to be a little eunuch on such an occasion today Come in."

This Tianji Pavilion should not be underestimated. There is a big banquet in the palace today, and strict investigations are being carried out everywhere.

"Of course I have my own way." Han Xing looked at Mu Yunchu with a strange look in his eyes. Mu Yunchu probably didn't know how gentle she was holding her brother, which was so different from her usual domineering manner.

"The court lady serving by Ying Anning's side belongs to Concubine Fang." Han Xing went straight to the point.

When Mu Yunchu heard the words, his eyes suddenly shone sharply: "The palace servants who serve the envoys of the Xuan Kingdom are arranged by the emperor himself, so how could there be someone like Concubine Fang?"

"This is not within the scope of my business. If the princess wants me to help you check, you have to pay more." Han Xing looked serious, but he felt like he was doing nothing.

Mu Yunchu didn't want outsiders to investigate the affairs in the palace: "Then, have you found out Ying Anning's purpose for coming to our country?"

"This princess is not simple. She even anticipated any conditions proposed by the Lieyang Congress. She also thought that they might not be able to fulfill the conditions proposed by your country. The Xuan Kingdom wants to use Ying An Ning to pay off the debt, but...she seems not very willing. "

"What did she say in connection with Concubine Fang?" Mu Yunchu basically knew that this woman poisoned her father in the previous life.Concubine Fang may also be involved in this matter.
