good wife

Chapter 25
Sure enough, when the emperor heard this, Longyan was delighted, and laughed loudly: "Good! Good! Good!" The three good words in a row can be said to have reassured everyone, especially Jingyi's family members.

The emperor smiled and said: "Let's live! Su Aiqing is really good at teaching children! Come here, give Su Jingyi the crystal Ruyi that Fanbang paid tribute to. She is young, smart and quick-witted! Not bad, not bad!"

Everyone thanked them and sat back at the banquet again.

The handkerchief in Gu's hand was so wet that water could come out of it!

The emperor said again: "Today is to celebrate Gu Aiqing's achievements! Tonight, all Aiqings will not return home until they are drunk!"

Everyone held their wine glasses and said to the emperor in unison: "Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

For a while, singing and dancing were peaceful.The hall became lively again.After what happened just now, Jingyi was already full of rejection and dissatisfaction with the royal family.She looked around, but there was no sign of Yuan Xi!How could she be so unfavored that she was not even allowed to participate in such a palace banquet!But since he is not favored, who wants to assassinate him?

A lady next to her said, "Why don't you see Concubine Lan? Since you are so favored, why don't you come on this occasion?"

The other said disdainfully: "No matter how much you are favored, you are still just a concubine, can you still surpass the queen?"

The murmurs of these noble ladies came from next to her ears, Jingyi shook her head, really disturbed.Su Jingwei, on the other hand, listened so attentively that she didn't even know that the fruit juice in the cup in her hand had spilled out.

At this moment, a palace maid came into the hall with a happy face, knelt down and said, "My servant congratulates the emperor! Concubine Lan is happy!"

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "When did it happen? Please explain clearly!"

"Yes, for the past few days, the empress has been having a poor appetite. Today, the Tai Hospital came to ask for a pulse, so the empress knew that she was two months pregnant!"

The queen glanced at the palace maid, and said to the emperor with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, since Lan Fei's sister is happy and has a bad appetite, why don't you send some of the melons and fruits that the foreign countries paid tribute to Lan Fei a few days ago?" , maybe it can help her relieve her morning sickness."

The emperor nodded with a smile, and gave some instructions, but felt that something was wrong, so he got up and left the table.I guess I went to Xinlan Palace.

Jingyi looked at Su Jingwei's envious expression, and shook her head lightly, she was still too naive, if she didn't expect, this Concubine Lan's heir would definitely be lost.

After all, she is a concubine who has just entered the palace. Once she is favored, she is so ecstatic!Since the imperial doctor diagnosed the happy pulse during the day, why didn't he report it to the emperor earlier and specially choose it during the palace banquet?If any of the scheming concubines in the palace is pregnant, it will only be three or four months later, when the fetus is stable, before they dare to report to the emperor and empress, lest someone will harm her.But Concubine Lan is really overconfident, thinking that with the emperor's favor, she can keep her safe?
Thinking of this, Jingyi looked in the direction of the queen. The queen still had a smile on her face, amiable, yet dignified!But in Jingyi's eyes, her smile didn't reach her eyes.In the previous life, those professors came up with endless methods in order to let me cooperate with them in exorcising beasts and killing people. There was never a time when they were not pleasant, but in the end?

Jingyi secretly said: After all, she has been a queen for ten years, and she has a deep scheming mind, which is incomparable to others!
Jingyi felt an unkind look on her left side, and couldn't help turning her head to look.The owner of that look was an eight or nine-year-old girl!Seeing her looking at her, the girl raised her chin provocatively, her eyes were full of disdain!Jing Yi thought to herself, he had never met her before, why did she look at him with hatred?

Jingyi ignored her provocation, looked down at the cup in her hand, blinked her eyes lightly, and after thinking for a moment, she knew in her heart that the girl should be the granddaughter of Duke Huguo's mansion, the empress' niece Bai Min'er!
Last night Yuan Xi told her that the person sitting in the carriage that day was Bai Min'er, the granddaughter of Duke Protector.This Bai Min'er is only nine years old this year, and has always been held in the palm of his family's hands and raised with care.

According to Yuan Xi, this Bai Min'er was brought up according to the standard of a princess since she was a child.But at the age of nine, she has already dabbled in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The most important thing is that now, the empress has sent her nunnery to teach her the etiquette rules in the palace.This thought is self-evident.

That day, Bai Miner's carriage was startled by a child, and it went on a rampage, knocking over a dozen stalls one after another, and injuring seven people. The most important thing is that she didn't deal with the aftermath, but went back to the mansion. .This directly affected the reputation of the Duke of the Protectorate.Presumably, because of this, he was reprimanded by the elders, so he was full of hostility towards himself because of his dissatisfaction.

Jingyi lowered her head and sipped the sour plum juice in the cup. It was sour and sweet, and it tasted extremely refreshing. It must have been chilled in a well or in an ice kiln.

"Miss Su, nice to meet you!"

Jingyi raised her head and saw Bai Min'er standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile.Su Jingwei who was at the side hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Jingwei met Miss Bai."

Jingyi frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed across her eyes, she got up and smiled and said: "Miss Bai's dress is really beautiful, please forgive Jingyi's ignorance, what is the name of this material?"

Bai Min'er listened and smiled triumphantly.What she was wearing today was the tribute brocade from the south of the Yangtze River, and there were only fifty pieces in total. She was loved by the queen and aunt, so she was awarded one piece.Among the princes and nobles, very few people can wear brocade.

Bai Min'er was wearing it on purpose to show off today, and seeing Jing Yi, who was praised by the emperor, she is very envious of her. She feels quite good about herself, and her attitude is even more arrogant.

"This is called Yunjin, and it was awarded by the queen's aunt. Ordinary people don't say that they wear it, and I'm afraid they have never even seen it. How is it? Isn't it beautiful?" After finishing speaking, a showy look floated on his face.

Jing Wei hurriedly flattered her and said: "Yes, Miss Bai is valued by the empress, so she is comparable to ordinary people."

After hearing this, Jingyi frowned slightly, couldn't Jingwei hear the irony in Bai Miner's words?He actually followed her?

Jingyi smiled lightly: "Miss Bai was born so beautiful, she looks good in anything she wears."

After hearing this, Bai Miner smiled triumphantly, and looked at Jingyi: "Is it you who sent those injured people to the hospital?"

Sure enough, when it comes to the topic.

Jingyi smiled and said: "Miss Bai is talking about those seven people a few days ago?"

Bai Min'er's cheeks were slightly red, she was obviously annoyed by the 'seven people', this Jingyi was reminding her that the carriage hit and injured seven civilians, and she left them there and ignored them!

At this time, four or five noble ladies had gathered around. They were originally attracted by the suit on Bai Min'er's body, but they didn't expect that when they came here, they heard the gunpowder-like conversation between the two.
