Tian's little cook

Chapter 1224
After returning to Beijing after such a long time, Zhang Linghan thought that everything was fine, but he didn't know that things turned out like this.

He quickly glanced at Wu Yuyan, although the weather is getting colder now and she wears thick clothes and can't see the changes in her abdomen, but from her movements, it can be seen that she is indeed pregnant.

Zhang Linghan frowned and looked away.

During his time away from Beijing, many things must have happened.And, it's definitely not a good thing.

Huangfu Chu did not go to help Wu Yaoyan, but said: "It is enough to have a mother to support me, I am a man, and I am not as careful as your women."

"If you know you're not careful, you should be more considerate." Empress Dowager Wu smiled, without any intention of blaming her.

Wu Yuyan hurriedly spoke for Huangfu Chu, "Auntie, the emperor is very considerate of his concubines, he sends people to deliver things to the palace every day, and the palace of concubines is almost full."

Zhang Linghan sneered in his heart.

Wu Ruoyan deliberately said these words to other people to let them know that her status is different from the past.

The joy of coming to the banquet was gone, and he looked at Lin Zhimo again.

The familiar smile was gone from her face, and she lowered her head expressionlessly.

Zhang Linghan felt uncomfortable for a while, and squeezed the cup tightly.

"Come here, give the Queen Mother and Concubine Wu an extra seat." Huangfu didn't want to talk to them at first, and immediately walked back to the main seat after ordering, sat next to Lin Zhimo, and carefully explained: "Zhimo, I didn't know they would Come."

"It's okay." Lin Zhimo said in a low voice: "Let's start the banquet quickly, everyone else is waiting."

"Okay." Huangfu Chu nodded, glanced at Xiao Guangxin, and signaled for the banquet to begin.

After all the dishes were served, Huangfu stood up and toasted: "My lords have worked hard to cure the plague and work hard for the Great Victory. The Empress and I would like to offer you a toast."

Lin Zhimo immediately picked up his wine glass and stood up.

The imperial physicians raised their glasses and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty and Empress, it's the job of humble ministers."

Zhang Linghan didn't say a word, and drank his wine in a muffled voice.

Huangfu Chu specially ordered two imperial physicians, asked a few words, and then let everyone eat and drink freely.

As a result, Empress Dowager Wu answered: "Everyone has worked hard, and the Ai family would like to offer you a toast. Concubine Wu Gui is pregnant now, so she can't drink, so she will replace the bar with tea."

"I'm inconvenient, my lords will take care of you." Wu Yuyan smiled.

The imperial physicians thanked them and drank another cup.Zhang Linghan didn't drink, but just gave her a cold look.

After drinking, the Empress Dowager Wu said again: "Concubine Wu is pregnant with the eldest son of the emperor, she is very honorable, all the imperial physicians are masters of Xinglin, please take care of me."

"Naturally, naturally." Some imperial physicians replied.

Huangfu resisted the displeasure in his heart at first, and changed the subject: "Everyone just returned to Beijing today, traveled all the way, and now the banquet is just starting, so you must be hungry, let's eat first."

Royal banquets are generally quiet except for the emperor speaking.

Zhang Linghan ate something without knowing the taste, and kept looking at the main seat.

Huangfuchu was picking up food for Lin Zhimo, but Lin Zhimo's expression remained unchanged, which was completely different from the lively appearance he knew.

"Zhimo, try this dish." Huangfu Chu put a piece in her bowl, trying to find something to say: "I think it's quite similar to a dish we ate in Pingcheng."

Lin Zhimo didn't pick it up, but put down his chopsticks.

"Linjiao, I'm not feeling well, so I'm going back first."

"Don't go." Huangfu Chu said anxiously, and quickly found an excuse, "That... Doctor Zhang is also here, you can talk to him."
