Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 39
After Yan Xiuyi finished saying this, the court fell silent for a moment.

She is not stupid, saying this is to bring hatred to Concubine Wen.

Who is the empress? She is so cruel and merciless. Concubine Wen was born before her, so she didn't know how uncomfortable it would be. Now that she knows that she might be a prince, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable?
Not only the empress, but concubine Shu, empress dowager, imperial concubine, anyone who has family involvement, who would be willing to watch the favored concubine Wen give birth to the eldest son of the emperor.

"It's just nonsense. Yan Xiuyi's jokes are alright, but you must not take it seriously. If you can really tell the difference between a male and a female fetus, what do you need the imperial doctor for?"

Concubine Wen supported her stomach and smiled softly, paused, and continued.

"That common saying goes, sour children are hot girls. I remember that Concubine Shu's sister was sour when she was pregnant with the eldest princess. Now I like sweets, but I can't explain clearly. It can be seen that these words are not credible."

"What Concubine Wen said is that the prince and princess are equally good. Yan Xiuyi shouldn't just say that the emperor has always loved you, so you should give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor as soon as possible."

The queen also spoke at this moment, showing the generous appearance of her first wife.

It's true that she doesn't want Concubine Wen to have a child, but it's not like she can be used by others casually.

But Yan Xiuyi didn't really want to do something to Concubine Wen with just a few words, so she didn't care what the queen said about her.

Anyway, the queen herself didn't give birth, did she?
"No matter the prince or princess, I like them all, you just need to raise the baby well." Ning Chen said softly.

He still prefers Concubine Wen.

She is gentle and sensible and knows how to advance and retreat, and she is not restrained by her family, so she really doesn't have to worry about pampering her.

"That's right, there are few children in the palace now, so you should spread your branches and leaves for the emperor as soon as possible." The queen mother also interjected, "Do you remember that Xia Cairen's belly is almost four months old? it is good?"

In the end, the Xia family was pushed to the emperor by her, so the queen mother is naturally willing to support him once in a while.

What's more, the Empress Dowager has other plans for Xia's belly.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern. Everything is fine here." Mrs. Xia got up and saluted.

Ning Chen couldn't ignore it, he also asked a few words and rewarded him with some things.

Ye Yun didn't get involved in these things, since she was called to serve, she put her head down and served the emperor wholeheartedly.

Of course, she wanted to eat herself, so she gave the emperor a chopstick and rewarded herself with a chopstick.

After Ning Chen said these few words, when he lowered his head again, he saw that the small bowl in front of him was already full.

And the little concubine next to her was currently knocking on the crab shell with a small silver hammer.

Hmm... His mouth was not idle, he was still chewing something.

Live like a squirrel.

Ning Chen wanted to pinch her face, but it was difficult to do it. There were so many people in the hall, so he pinched her slender waist under the table, under the cover of his sleeves.

Ye Yun's body froze, and her whole body was not well.

Inexplicably, the picture of the big boss touching the little secretary's thigh under the table appeared in his mind.

"Your Majesty, try this crab, it tastes very delicious."

Quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, and graciously pushed the newly opened crab over.

Ning Chen raised his eyebrows, and ate it unceremoniously, which made Ye Yun feel distressed.

It is not easy to peel a crab gracefully.

Sure enough, eating was more enjoyable, so he recruited Eyue to serve her.

It was also at this moment that Yi Wanrong who was sitting below her complexion became more and more ugly, her whole body was stiff, as if she was struggling to hold on to something.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound of "噗——", at the same time, Yi Wanrong put down the cup a little harder, but no one else noticed the abnormality.

But when this happened, her face turned red.

Glancing left and right, she was relieved to find that no one was looking at her.

I thought I would stop here, but I never thought that after an appointment for a stick of incense, there was a sudden throbbing pain in the lower abdomen, and Yi Wanrong's face turned pale immediately.

Sensing her strangeness, the waiters behind were about to lean over to ask, but Yi Wanrong got up abruptly, and ran out of the hall in a hurry.

This move was too urgent, not only knocked the girl staggered and almost fell, but also the sleeves lifted the dishes on the table to the ground, making a crisp sound of shattering.

"Wanrong!" The girl who followed her yelled softly and wanted to chase her, regardless of the pain in her shoulder.

"Stop! What's going on here? All the emperors lost their manners, and the rules have all been learned into the stomach of a dog?!" The queen mother yelled angrily with a dark face.

From the moment Yi Wanrong stood up, the eyes of the entire hall were attracted.

"Go back to the Empress Dowager, servant girl, servant girl, I guess Wanrong is not feeling well, so she was not feeling well just now."

The girl was already frightened to death, kneeling on the ground with a pale face.

The Wu family was also terrified, disrespect in front of the imperial court is a serious crime, not to mention that it was at the state banquet, how many pairs of eyes were staring at...

"Your Majesty, Yi Wanrong seems to be feeling unwell, and she definitely didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive me, the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and Empress Dowager!" Wu Daren immediately stood up and pleaded guilty.

Later, his wife and son and daughter-in-law all followed.

The Queen Mother wanted to say something, but Ning Chen spoke up first.

"Since you're not feeling well, hurry up and call an imperial doctor to take a look. You don't have to worry, Mr. Wu, just sit down."

Pointing to the court lady on the ground again, "You, hurry up and serve your master."

"Yes, yes." The girl on the ground hurriedly got up and chased after her.

When this kind of thing happened, everyone in the temple naturally had different thoughts.

Yi Wanrong has been favored since she entered the palace, and there are not a few who want to take advantage of this opportunity to play.

"Since I'm not feeling well, why didn't I find out earlier, it's so unbecoming now." Concubine Shu said secretly.

From the moment the eldest princess was taken away, she felt uncomfortable all over the place, but now she seems to be catching someone and biting someone to vent her anger.

It's rare that Yan Xiuyi and Concubine Shu are on a united front today, and they also hold their veils and speak.

"I guess I don't want to miss the palace banquet? It's just that I have to take care of my own body anyway. This is a big loss in front of the imperial court."

"Yi Wanrong was fine before, how could it be like this all of a sudden, could it be that the food didn't suit my appetite?" Concubine Jing also answered.

After saying this, the queen couldn't sit still. If something didn't suit her appetite, it meant that there was something wrong with the food.

This banquet was arranged by her alone, if something goes wrong, it is her responsibility.

"It's good for others to eat. Yi Wanrong has a delicate stomach. I haven't listened to what she said, and I haven't tabooed some tastes. But after all, I was negligent and didn't think about it. This dish, you can still eat it. Okay? If there is something unsatisfactory, I will ask the dining room to change it."

The queen threw a thousand catties in twos and twos, only saying that it was Wu's own problem, and she didn't know anything about it.

"Queen, don't need to worry. I think the banquet was well organized. It must be because of Yi Wanrong's sudden disharmony in her spleen and stomach. Since the imperial physician has already gone, there is no need to talk about it."

Ning Chen still defended the queen after all.

You can't let the queen be stained in front of all the officials, but she didn't say that she would punish Wu, after all, she said it was because she was unwell.

But the empress dowager was dissatisfied with avoiding the important and taking the light in this way.
