Chapter 430 Full Moon Banquet (3)
Gu smiled and said: "It's just because I saw that parrot is smart, so I watched it for a while."

Princess Jialan also laughed and said: "Speaking of which, Lord Yao is really interesting, he actually found this rare thing. It is said that this parrot also traveled across the sea to our Dayun Dynasty?"

"That's right, you didn't hear it speaking Western dialect just now." Gu said with a smile.

"This little thing is really clever, it keeps chattering, deliberately teasing me." Princess Jialan laughed.

Han Qian watched the two of them talking and laughing, but just smiled lightly and didn't say much.

The maids put out desserts and fruits, and Han Qian pointed to a green pastry and said, "You all have to try this. This is a Western-style dessert made of tea powder. It is used in summer to clear away heat." As he spoke, She took one herself first.

Everyone followed, and each took a piece to taste, because Mrs. Gu didn't make a move.

Everyone here is boasting about the dim sum, Qingmei came in and said: "Go back to Madam, Miss Gu made some dim sum and said it is for Madam to try."

Han Qian was taken aback, her eyes drifted across Gu's face thoughtfully, Fang smiled and said, "Please come in soon, this kind of thing is very back and forth, how has Miss Gu ever seen so much in this palace? "

"She doesn't know the rules, so the Empress will teach her a lesson. This child is also spoiled at home." Gu Shi hurriedly got up and said.

"Sister-in-law, why bother to say such polite words, Ningshuang and I just met." Han Qian smiled and waved at Gu Shi, "Sit down."

Gu Ningshuang came in personally carrying a tray with dim sum in four colors of red, yellow, purple and white.After entering the door, Ningshuang, you smiled and bowed down: "Ningshuang pays respects to the empress."

"Get up." Han Qian raised his hand and asked with a smile, "What delicious food did you make for Ben Gong today?"

"Mother, it's rose cakes, mango cakes, glutinous rice purple potato cakes, and almond cheese cakes." Gu Ningshuang said, then stepped forward to put the tray on the small table in Han Qian's hand, "This is Ningshuang asking Wen Zhen for advice." It took a few days to learn it, and Wen Zhen said that she could offer it to the empress, and Ningshuang dared to send it up."

"You have a heart." Han Qian put down the teacup in his hand, reached for a piece of purple potato cake and wanted to eat it.

"Your Majesty, you are not yet confinement, you should eat as little potato food as possible, otherwise your stomach will get acid reflux." Wei Tiantian persuaded from the side.

Gu's heart immediately came to her throat, thinking to herself why Wei Tiantian would say such a thing?Did Ningshuang do something to make them suspicious?

Han Qian took a small bite indifferently, and said with a light smile, "It's okay, I'll just eat a little."

Watching Han Qian eat the purple potato cake, Gu's palms were sweating, and she silently prayed that Ningshuang would not be so daring and bring her family and even the nine clans into trouble.

"It tastes good!" Han Qian smiled and pointed to everyone, "All of you should also try Ningshuang's craftsmanship."

Everyone smiled and stretched out their hands, and Mrs. Gu took a piece of purple potato cake to eat first, thinking that if there was any problem with this cake, she would bear it herself.

But how could Gu Ningshuang be so stupid as to play tricks in the pastry?It was too late for her to please her.

Seeing that everyone liked the cakes she made, the smile on Gu Ningshuang's face deepened, and she turned around and took a small bundle from Liuying's hand, held it in front of Han Qian, and said, "Today is the full moon of the eldest princess." , although the empress said that she would no longer put the full moon wine, but this is Ningshuang's wish, please don't hold it against her."

Han Qian said with a smile: "That's what you said, whatever you give to Tianxin is out of good intentions, how can I dislike it?" As she said that, she made some fun for Pingguo'er, and Pingguo'er took the small package and opened it. A small scarlet brocade cloak with a snow cap attached to it, a strand of snow-white fox fur that is soft and smooth, and a picture of spring breeze and morning sun embroidered on the scarlet plain satin with multicolored silk thread, the stitches are fine and well-proportioned, and the stitching is complicated and complicated, that willow tree, that The orchid grass, the cloud, and the rising sun are all lifelike, and it can be seen that real effort has been made.

The little cloak won a lot of applause as soon as it was unfolded. Even Han Qian, who had no knowledge of needlework at all, thought it was good, and Princess Jialan, who was eager to make fun of it, even praised it repeatedly.

Han Qian smiled and told Pingguo'er: "It's good to put it away. When Xin'er can walk again, I just went out to play in the snow." Then she smiled at Gu Ningshuang: "Thank you for your trouble."

"It's as long as the empress likes it." Gu Ningshuang hurriedly blessed herself.

"Miss Gu is really virtuous and intelligent. With such a person by her side, the empress is really relieved." Princess Jialan laughed from the side.

Han Qian glanced at Princess Jialan from the corner of her eye, and suddenly sighed softly.

"Huh? On this day of great joy, why is your empress sighing?" Princess Heng asked hurriedly.

"There is no one else present here today, and I don't hide things if I have something to do. I had a dream last night, and I dreamed of my mother." Han Qian said, sighing again, "Mother blames Bengong. "

"Where do you start with this?" Feng asked hurriedly.

"To tell the truth from my second sister-in-law, my mother blamed me for not caring about my family, not being able to take care of my father, not being able to protect my elder brother, that's all. I didn't even do what I could, saying that I have no conscience." Han Qian sighed again after finishing speaking. .

"Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry about your mother." Mrs. Gu said hastily.

"That's right, Old Master Hou is also pretty good. He walks around every day, plays slow punches, and eats well. Madam, you can rest assured." Feng quickly added.

Han Qian shook her head: "It's not about this. My mother has always been concerned about my second brother's childlessness. This was her heart disease before she died!"

Gu Ningshuang, who was standing beside her, suddenly turned pale, and bit her lip involuntarily.

Mrs. Gu was also shocked, but couldn't speak, because Han Qian was talking about the second wife, and as the wife of the first wife, she couldn't take care of the second wife's heir.

Wei Tiantian also raised his head to look at Han Qian in surprise, wondering if the empress would give Gu Ningshuang to the second room as a concubine on a whim?
"It's the concubine's poor health that made the empress and the eldest princess worry about it." Feng immediately stood up.

"Second sister-in-law, sit down quickly." Han Qian hurriedly said, "I don't mean to blame you. I know that the Han family is full of families, and the person who most wants to have a son is you."

After hearing this, Feng Shi almost shed tears.

"Ben Gong knows that the second sister-in-law's body was injured when she was pregnant with Yu'er in the early years. It just so happened that Wen Zhen gave Ben Gong a prescription for food supplements a while ago, saying that it is the most beneficial for women's fertility. I will call it Apple later. Give it to the second sister-in-law, and you can follow this prescription for a year or so after you go back, maybe it will be fine."

No matter what the prescription is, as long as it doesn't stuff Gu Ningshuang in as a side room.Feng Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and knelt down to Han Qian: "Thank you, empress."

"A whole family, why don't you thank me? Isn't it a layman?" Han Qian glanced at Gu Shi with a smile, but told Pingguo'er: "Don't you help the second lady?"
