king's concubine

Chapter 157
Hearing the worry in her words, Yu Wencan smiled, and lightly patted the head she poked over, his eyes flashed deep, "Some things must be eaten even if they can't bear it." Some people even hoped that he would eat enough Broke the belly, and fell into darkness from then on!
Rong Huazheng frowned, and just wanted to say something, but from the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of Eunuch Chen who was beside the emperor hurriedly walking down, stopping Yun Qingluan and Liu Yixin who were about to leave, and stood there without thinking. Knowing what they said, both of them nodded with surprise on their faces.

Rong Huazheng frowned, didn't he mean that this was a family banquet of Yuwen's family, what did the emperor want to do by letting Yun Qingluan and Liu Yixin stay?
Yu Wencan also noticed it, her face was indifferent, and she couldn't see anything unusual.

This time, the so-called family banquet was held in the Zen room used by the Empress Dowager of Longyan Temple to meditate. As soon as Rong Huazheng entered, she was dazzled by the glittering Buddhist incense and utensils inside, and glanced at everyone around her. A utensil was found to be very delicate and noble, but in the meditation room she could not see the wooden fish beads or smell the Buddha's incense, which made Rong Huazheng wonder, is this really a place for meditation?

Compared with the doubt in Rong Huazheng's eyes, the others were very calm, as if they couldn't see anything, and sat down according to their status after the empress dowager took her seat.

The empress dowager was naturally the first person to be seated. She took a meaningful look at the only two outsiders here - Yun Qingluan and Liu Yixin, and said casually: "There is no place here, but Can'er There are two more seats over there, Miss Yun and Miss Liu should sit there."

When Rong Huazheng heard this, she raised her eyebrows.She thought that she should have guessed what kind of medicine was sold in the empress dowager's gourd.

As soon as the empress dowager's words came out, both Yun Qingluan and Liu Yixin had a flash of surprise in their eyes, among which Yun Qingluan was the most.Her status is higher than Liu Yixin, so she should be sitting next to Yu Wencan.Then, she turned towards the Empress Dowager Fufu, and walked lightly to the position next to Yu Wencan with lotus steps.

Yu Wenguang and Yu Wenlin watched and sighed secretly.

People here, except for the empress dowager, Yun Qingluan and Liu Yixin who can laugh, only the prince and side concubine still has a smile on his face, and the smile is getting bigger and bigger, while the others have no expression .

The empress has been trying to be magnanimous, but after seeing the empress dowager's arrangement, her lips were still pursed tightly without knowing it, while the prince did not see any emotion on his face, and was always mild and gentle.

Yun Qingluan and Liu Yixin walked by, and just about to sit down, the little kid suddenly jumped down from his previous position, and ran to the place where Yun Qingluan wanted to sit down, and cleverly used his small body to sit down. His little butt firmly occupied that position.

Rong Huazheng raised her eyebrows, why is this little kid so sensible this time?
However, even so, she was still a little worried that the little kid would be scolded, so she opened her mouth before she wanted to say something, Yu Wencan shook her head at her, and said softly: "Zhenger, in this meditation hall, you listen to your husband, Don’t worry about anything, just leave it to your husband.”

Rong Huazheng frowned, but still nodded.

Everyone was stunned by Yuwen Xiyan's action, and suddenly some people were happy and some were worried, but the empress dowager's face straightened up, and they slapped the table, "Xiyan, why are you so unreasonable?" Know the rules?!"

The little boy didn't flinch his head, blinked his big eyes, and said innocently: "Grandmother, I don't feel comfortable sitting in that position."

Yun Qingluan's face was also stiff, but her face was not bad, and she tried to show a gentle smile to the little boy.

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, and said coldly: "There are no rules. Where is this place? You can sit wherever you want. Go back to your original seat and sit down!"

The little kid looked at the furious empress dowager, but he was not afraid, his legs dangled, he shook his head and said, "No, I like this place, so I want to sit here."

"You!" The empress dowager directly wanted to say that he had no tutor, but thinking that both his parents had left and he was still her grandson, she slapped her face directly when she said this, choked, and turned to Glaring at Rong Huazheng, "Princess Gong Jin, is this how you teach Xi Yan to treat elders?"

Rong Huazheng thought it was funny, so she really smiled, shrugged and said, "What's wrong, Empress Dowager?"

"Sure enough, what kind of master produces what kind of apprentice." After saying that, she said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Xi Yan will not be able to continue like this, and I don't know what kind of teacher he will be taught in the future!"

Rong Huazheng pursed her lips, if the Empress Dowager wanted to take the brat away from her, she would definitely be rude to her!

The emperor frowned, pursed his thin lips, and did not answer. Instead, he waved his hands majestically at Yun Qingluan and Liu Yixin, and said indifferently: "Miss Yun, Miss Liu, you all find a seat and sit down."

"Your majesty, you!" Seeing that the emperor not only ignored her but also tore down the bridge she built, the empress dowager was so angry that she sat down angrily.

Yun Qingluan and Liu Yixin were a little disappointed when they heard the words, but sat down anyway.

Seeing that everyone was seated, although the empress dowager was angry, she had no choice but to let it go. After all, the emperor's patience with her would soon run out today, so he beckoned people to serve vegetarian snacks and green tea , After quietly drinking tea and eating snacks with everyone, the empress dowager glanced at everyone, and finally said to the prince and concubine: "Prince and concubine, the robes on the prince's body are well embroidered, look Come on, your embroidery skills have improved to a higher level."

Finally, it was time for her to shine. The crown prince and side concubine were full of joy when she heard the words, but her face was extremely humble, and she replied respectfully: "The empress dowager has won the award, and the concubine's embroidery skills are not worthy of praise in front of the empress dowager." Well, it's my good fortune not to be disliked by the empress dowager when you come here, and the empress dowager praises you."

When the empress dowager heard this, she nodded in satisfaction, said some words of praise, and asked when the two of them could give birth to a great-grandson for her to hug.

The concubine of the crown prince was flustered and happy when she heard this. She had always been looking forward to having a son with the crown prince, but her stomach still didn't respond at all since she got married with the crown prince. She had said a lot of words and told her face to face. She already had a lot of pressure in her heart. Now that the empress dowager mentioned it, she felt the empress's gaze again, and suddenly felt a bit like Mount Tai was overwhelmed.However, the Empress Dowager is still very happy to ask such things in person, which shows that the Empress Dowager still likes her in her heart.

The prince was indifferent to this matter, and his eyes were still calm when he heard the words.

After the empress dowager asked the concubine and concubine the prince and concubine, she went to Yu Wenguang's mother and son and Yu Wenlin's mother and son. After talking about the robes they wore, she didn't directly go to Yu Wencan, but to Liu Yixin. He Yun Qingluan said: "Miss Liu, Miss Yun, the color and material of the robes of the two of you are very good, and the embroidery skills are also skillful, and every part of the robes is so exquisite that it is admirable." After finishing speaking, sigh Said: "It seems that Prince Yun and Master Liu both gave birth to a good daughter."

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your compliment!"

Yun Qingluan and Liu Yixin were extremely happy when they heard the words. Their robes were all cloth picked from the embroidery room. Naturally, the quality of the material was not a problem. When I was in the temple, I couldn’t be happy when I saw the robes on Ronghuazheng, because anyone with a discerning eye would know that the robes on Ronghuazheng were really good.

If the materials of the robes on them were to be praised, then what Rong Huazheng was wearing was incomparable, whether it was the pattern, color, or embroidery, they were all incomparable, they could all be described as exquisite.It's a little unbelievable that someone has such embroidery skills and such a beautiful robe!

Not only that, in their eyes, Rong Huazheng is just a lowly fourth-rank official girl. In terms of appearance and talent, nothing is comparable to them, but maybe people rely on clothes. They were all taken aback, but after not seeing each other for just over half a month, Ronghuazheng has a completely new beauty!
Rong Huazheng used to say that she was sallow and thin. After all, what kind of good food can a fourth-rank official girl eat?But today it looks different. Both her appearance and her skin are outstanding, her appearance is exquisite and beautiful, her skin is white and delicate, and when she smiles, her dimples slightly evoke. They can feel that many people present have been paying attention to her.That kind of astonishing gaze makes them shocking!

However, the empress dowager did not directly praise Rong Huazheng, but praised them instead, so that they had a bottom line in their hearts, and secretly guessed the empress dowager's intentions, so her smile became more gentle and elegant, her words were humble and powerful, everything was just right of perfection.

The empress dowager was naturally very satisfied when she heard this, she had a flash of inspiration, and said as if chatting about family matters: "Miss Yun and Miss Liu are just in their prime, with both talents and looks, has the mansion ever discussed marriage for you?"

Both of them blushed, Qi Qi nodded shyly, and said softly: "Go back to the Queen Mother, never."

At this time, Rong Huazheng saw that there was not much tea in Yu Wencan's cup, so he poured half a cup for him easily, and then picked up his own cup to drink leisurely. It's good to watch, so as not to be gone in the coming year.

Feeling her relaxed state of mind, Yu Wencan smiled faintly, this girl, fortunately he thought she would feel bad, it seems that he was worrying too much.Shaking her head, she glanced at the very witty little kid, and after pouring him a cup of tea, she slowly picked up the tea she poured for him, and took a shallow sip.Maybe it's because Longyan Temple drinks mountain springs, and the taste is always sweet, which is very good.

"Oh? Is that so?" The empress dowager looked very surprised, then smiled kindly, and said, "Why, there are countless young talents in the country of Ying. Could it be that no one can catch the eyes of the two of you?"

When the two of them heard this, their faces became more beautiful than flowers, and they lowered their heads as if hesitant to speak.

The empress dowager was very satisfied with the reaction of the two of them, she smiled and said: "So, the two ladies are interested in each other?"

The two still bowed their heads and did not answer.

However, both of them were secretly thinking about it.

Yun Qingluan believes that her status is higher than Liu Yixin after all, and if she wants to marry into the imperial family, her chances are greater than hers, and judging from this trend, the empress dowager obviously wants to draw them to King Gongjin's side, She is hopeful anyway.

But Liu Yixin didn't think so. She felt that the Empress Dowager was using them to deal with the Ronghua Zheng she hated. She didn't like King Gongjin in her heart. Yun Qingluan had hundreds of thousands of troops behind her. The Empress Dowager should be concerned about the country. Sheji was concerned about the queen and the prince, so it was impossible to point Yun Qingluan to King Gongjin, but it was more likely that she, who was born lower than Yun Qingluan, would.
