Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 69

From Ye Yun's bedtime to the fifteenth family banquet, only Wang Jieyu and Xia Cairen saw the emperor afterwards.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the banquet is held in Fengqi Palace.

I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and everyone is dressed up.

Yao Xiang, who has never shown up very much, has put a lot of effort into dressing.

The few who are not short of money, of course, don’t have heavy clothes and jewelry during the Chinese New Year. The following few are not favored and have no one to take care of them. The clothes on their bodies have been worn several times, and they are not fresh.

Zhang Baolin changed today, he was dressed in lake blue palace attire, combing a smoky bun, wearing a fair-looking white jade hairpin, and a few plain silver hairpins, elegant and pleasant.

It is in line with her usual way of being a little white flower.

"Hey, Zhang Baolin is finally willing to change clothes? I thought you would wear that wisteria purple dress a few more times." Zhao Jieyu said maliciously.

Although she is not rich herself, she is with the queen after all, and she has saved some money over the years, so it is not necessary to have heavy clothes in the first month.

Even at Yang Baolin's place, arranged by the queen, they always have new clothes every day.

Mrs. Zhang's complexion was reddish, and she blessed her body, "Jieyu was joking, and the concubine thought, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it will be the end of the New Year, and it should be changed to a brighter one."

"It's my negligence. During the Chinese New Year, I actually forgot to distribute more materials to make new clothes for you." The Queen said at the right time.

This is just pretending, even if it is extra points, I will not give three or two horses too much, which is not enough for a first month.

Yan Xiuyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and answered with a smile, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. The concubine sees that Zhang Baolin often goes to Concubine Shu's palace. I think Concubine Shu also rewarded things. I'm afraid Zhang Baolin cherishes things. Didn't wear it."

"That's right, the concubine's place is close to Xiuyi, so she has received a lot of care. I think the concubine Shu must not be stingy about this." Li Wanrong answered quickly.

But it was just what they said, Concubine Shu just didn't expect this, and didn't give anything at all.

The main reason is that her minions didn't think of this, so they didn't remind her.

This time Yan Xiuyi and Li Wanrong were singing together, so I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

The Zhang family is a very cautious person, afraid of offending the only backer at the moment, she hastened to excuse Concubine Shu.

"The concubine fell in love with the concubine Shu, and often went to talk with the concubine, so the clothes and jewelry were naturally given by the concubine, but the concubine never liked to dress up, so she didn't wear them."

Yan Xiuyi and Li Wanrong wanted to continue exposing their faults, but they were stopped by the queen.

"Seeing that you are so harmonious, I feel a lot of irony in my heart, please sit down quickly, the emperor is coming soon."

Naturally, the empress was not trying to smooth things over for Mrs. Zhang and Concubine Shu, but she just didn't want to see a few people bickering when the emperor came.

Everyone likes harmony in the backyard, especially at the rare family banquet, if there is a lot of noise, it seems that she, the queen, can't suppress others and is very incompetent.

Speaking of the emperor, everyone still cared a lot, tidied up their clothes, and sat down.

Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that she would be taken as a target today, and no one would argue every day.

Fortunately, today Zhang Baolin stood in the front, and the topic was stopped in time, so that it didn't get hot on her.

Not long after, Ning Chen came, along with the queen mother and the unmarried second princess Ning Lin.

Neither the Grand Concubine nor the Concubine De came.

After all, none of the people present had anything to do with them, so what did they do here?

In fact, Ning Lin didn't want to come either, but Concubine De told her that most of her marriage will be decided by the emperor and queen in the future, in order not to be married hastily, she should be closer to her brother and sister-in-law.

Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Excuse me, today is a family banquet, so you don't have to worry about it. The hairpin worn by the empress today is not bad. It reminds the Ai family that there is also a nine-tailed gilt phoenix hairpin in the Ai family's palace, which was left over from the previous dynasty. Aijia is getting old and doesn't like these things, Fuzhi, you go back and get them for Aijia and give them to the queen."

The Empress Dowager looked very kind today, helped the Empress to get up herself, and said these words again.

This must be a play, no one believed that the queen mother would suddenly become so nice to the queen.

On weekdays, Chen Wanrong is the only niece in his eyes.

A strange look flashed in the Queen's eyes, and she quickly answered the question, and personally helped the Queen Mother to sit down.

"How can I give such a precious thing to my son? It's better for you, Queen Mother, to keep it."

"You are the queen, the mother of the country, and Chen'er's first wife. The Ai family only wants to give you this thing, so you should wear it properly!"

The queen mother took advantage of the situation and sat down, took the queen's hand and patted it.

The end is the appearance of harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

When it was time to serve the food, he personally picked up two more chopsticks for Ning Chen, "The emperor's diet has been reduced these days, so he still needs to eat more."

"My son knows, thank you mother for your concern." Ning Chen also smiled, but his eyes were still cold.

The concubines below looked at it, although they were a little puzzled, but they were not stupid to the end, they all didn't speak, they all laughed.

At the banquet that followed, the Queen Mother seemed to want no money for her kind words, she praised all those who were favored, and those who were a bit embarrassing.

He even hugged the Eldest Princess for a while, and rewarded Concubine Wen De and the Eldest Prince on the spot.

Needless to say, the two pregnant ones are also the key point.

Xia Cairen's stomach is now almost eight months old, and it looks bigger than ordinary pregnant women. Wang Jieyu is five months pregnant. She is thin and looks like she is pregnant, so her waist does not show much.

With Concubine Wen De's premature birth before, Ning Chen is still more concerned about these two people now, asked about the situation, and rewarded some things.

No matter what, after today's meal, there was a lot of fun on the surface.

It was Ning Lin. Although she was here, her sense of presence was really low, and she didn't even open her mouth to speak.

In the evening, Ning Chen personally sent the Queen Mother back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and returned to Fengqi Palace to stay.

The empress was naturally happy, although it was an ancestor's rule to stay in the central palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, but rules are dead, but people are alive, she was also afraid that Ning Chen would not come.

On the other side, Ye Yun received a fan embroidered by Zhou Baolin himself when he left Fengqi Palace.

It's a thank you gift, after all, that scarf will definitely not be returned again, and Ye Yun won't want it if she wears it and gives it to Ye Yun.

"Zhou Baolin's craftsmanship is pretty good, but this is double-sided embroidery." Ye Yun held it, and still liked it.

Huiyue nodded, just smiled again, "It just won't be needed for a while."

"Yeah, let's put it away for now, it will always be useful." Ye Yun smiled meaningfully, and finally remembered something, and said, "By the way, send a message to the outside of the palace to find out if there is someone outside. What happened, why did the Queen Mother suddenly act uncharacteristically?"

Today, Huiyue was also present, and naturally felt that something was wrong, so she nodded her head in response, thinking that this matter should be investigated not only outside, but also in the palace.

The master and the servant walked back, chatting along the way.

"I see that Xia Cairen's belly seems a bit too big. This is her first child. I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth."

"Your servant is also looking at it. If it goes on like this, I will suffer when I am born."

"That's all, it's not my thing to worry about, it's not me who suffers anyway."

This family banquet is over, anyway, everyone has different thoughts.
