Chapter 139 The Mid-Autumn Family Banquet
Chapter 139 The Mid-Autumn Family Banquet
The concubines who performed in the front were very nervous, they had tried their best, but they still couldn't get the emperor to look at them twice.Concubine Liang is so beautiful and has been favored by the emperor, if she compares them all tonight, she will really lose face of the aristocratic daughter.When Yan Fengjun was changing clothes, Zhao Xiyan remembered that Yan Fengjun had only danced for him once, and when there was no one around, how did the queen know that Concubine Liang was a superb dancer?Could it be that based on her background, she concluded that she had never learned the chess, piano, calligraphy and painting of aristocratic women, and told her to embarrass her?Zhao Xiyan looked at the queen, and Su Qingshu's restless look confirmed what he thought in his heart.Zhao Xiyan shook his head, the empress is too petty, and she is not at all tolerant.In the final analysis, it was Zhao Xiyan's fault. He neglected the empress. As an emperor, why didn't he pay attention to the rain and dew evenly in the front and rear palaces.
Yan Fengjun was dressed in white gauze, decorated with rubies, and danced lightly and slowly.As soon as Zhao Xiyan saw this dance, he thought of the long night and the coldness of the moonlight that night.The nerves that should have been tense all the time, were relaxed a lot because of Yan Fengjun's dance.Today I changed the dance clothes, and there is a silk and bamboo orchestra, which is a different style.Yan Fengjun smiled, his eyes never left Zhao Xiyan.When those women saw Yan Fengjun's good dancing posture and such good looks, the emperor couldn't take his eyes off her even more, and the handkerchief was about to be smashed.Su Qingshu's two overlapping hands turned white from pinching each other, still not knowing it.When the dance was over, Yan Fengjun took a step forward, and it seemed that he was stepping on the air, and he was about to fall.Thanks to Yan Fengjun's skill, he turned around and stood up.Zhao Xiyan's pupils widened, Yan Fengjun stood up and hurriedly saluted and apologized.
"The concubine is rude, I hope His Majesty and the Queen Mother will forgive me."
"Aifei don't need to blame yourself, it's fine if nothing happens."
"My concubine, thank you, Your Majesty."
Yan Fengjun bowed and saluted, and when he walked back to his concubine, he staggered.Zhao Xiyan was a little worried, although Yan Fengjun was good at martial arts, but this was a dark place that was hard to guard against.
"The concubine Liang must have been frightened, tell the imperial physician!"
"Come here! Let me check the place where Concubine Liang stepped on the ground just now."
The eunuchs got the order and hurried forward to check.All of a sudden, the bustle was gone, and some people felt insecure.Su Qingshu was in a panic. Originally, he only wanted Yan Fengjun to embarrass himself and let himself vent his anger, but he didn't expect such an outburst.As a queen, she organized the whole banquet, so she should be blamed for what happened.The imperial doctor came first, caught Yan Fengjun's pulse, and his expression was extremely complicated.Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Xiyan saw the complex expression on his face, and felt even more puzzled.It's just that he almost fell, and at most he was frightened, but his appearance seemed to be terminally ill.
"Your Majesty has been sleeping abnormally recently, and your appetite has increased?"
"Indeed." Yan Fengjun nodded slightly.
"Congratulations to the emperor and the queen mother, the concubine Liang is pregnant with a dragon fetus! It's only been a month, and the symptoms are not obvious, but she is indeed pregnant with a dragon fetus."
Zhao Xiyan was dumbfounded when he heard this, which was really a big surprise.The queen mother was even more happy when she heard it. The good news should be one after another.Su Qingshu's eyes widened when he heard this, he couldn't believe it.How long has it been since Yan Fengjun became a good concubine?This is pregnant?Xia Shuning didn't react much, but Yan Fengjun and Zhao Xiyan looked into each other's eyes and smiled.
"Doctor Xun, are you telling the truth? How did you diagnose and treat it after more than a month? Isn't it two months before the diagnosis is made?"
"Reporting to the emperor, it is naturally true. That being said, it depends on the individual's physique. The concubine Liang's physique is very good, so it is not surprising that she was diagnosed earlier."
"Don't ask the emperor, it's a good thing that the concubine Liang is pregnant." The queen mother was also happy, her own child was finally enlightened, and she had a Yan Fengjun and had a child. Are you afraid that these women in the harem will not be blessed?No matter how much Zhao Xiyan thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, but he was really happy to have a child.Yan Fengjun has been longing for a child for a long time, and he thought he would have to work hard for a while, but now that his wish has been fulfilled, he is also relieved.Zhao Xiyan grinned from ear to ear, and looked at Yan Fengjun and Xia Shuning.Xia Shuning knew that he cared about her. He had a child with someone else, and what he cared most about was Xia Shuning's feelings, but Xia Shuning snickered.How could Zhao Xiyan know that all of this was planned by these two women.Since Zhao Xiyan recovered from his illness, Xia Shuning drove him to Yan Fengjun's place from time to time, and took care of Yan Fengjun's health.Xia Shuning had already diagnosed this happy pulse, and Yan Fengjun himself knew about it, in other words, the two of them did it on purpose.But none of the concubines in the hall had a good face.
"My Majesty, there are several floor tiles missing under the carpet, which cannot be seen because the carpet is covering them. If it falls, it will roll down the stairs."
When Zhao Xiyan and the queen mother heard this, their faces darkened a lot, and they were very unhappy.Concubine Liang is pregnant, if she is not agile, she might not be able to keep the child at this moment.Both Zhao Xiyan and the Queen Mother are extremely important to children. Even if you touch the emperor, you can't touch the children.Before Zhao Xiyan could say anything, the Queen Mother spoke first, Zhao Xiyan squinted his eyes and was still thinking.
"Queen, you organized the family banquet by yourself, how could there be such a big mistake?"
"Report to the emperor and the queen mother, but the concubines don't know about it."
"The empress doesn't know anything, so it's possible that she wants to push it cleanly? It's about Longzi, shouldn't the empress have an explanation?"
Su Qingshu was so frightened that he almost forgot that he was the lord of the six palaces and the empress of a country.How could Zhao Xiyan not know how much she valued her offspring.No matter how jealous she is, she will never dare to make fun of her son again.If she hadn't killed Zhao Xiyan's first child back then, she and the emperor wouldn't be so indifferent today.
"The concubine really doesn't know about it. Such a mistake is a death sentence."
"The queen really doesn't know?"
The queen mother is aggressive, and the queen has almost no retreat.It took a long time before Zhao Xiyan opened his mouth.
"Who laid the carpet, get out here!"
After listening to Zhao Xiyan's words, Su Qingshu regained his backbone and remembered who laid the carpet.She is a queen, she just orders people to do things, but she will never do it herself.The eunuchs who were laying the carpet knelt down tremblingly, this was a capital offense.
"This is Chaoyang Palace, several floor tiles are missing, why do you turn a blind eye?"
"When the servants laid out the carpet, they really didn't see anything missing."
"You still dare to quibble, you are just waiting to see that the queen is injured, it is inconvenient to do everything by yourself, you are lazy!"
"The slaves dare not!"
"How dare you make excuses!"
"Drag it on, and die with the stick for the crime of murdering the dragon-born concubine!"
"The servants are wronged! Your Majesty! Don't wrong the servants!"
"Bold! Drag it on!"
Su Qingshu heaved a sigh of relief when the carpet-laying servants were dragged out to beat the court sticks.No matter what, she seemed to have won Zhao Xiyan's heart back, and she was still partial to her after all.Everyone listened to the emperor's tone, and they were partial to the queen, and they didn't intend to punish the queen.They also reconsidered the empress in their hearts. No matter how unfavored the empress was, she would be the emperor's wife, so there was still some friendship.The empress dowager's eyes are dark and dark, the emperor's heart is really unpredictable now, but the emperor has already issued an order, and she, as a mother, cannot continue to pursue it.They all thought that the emperor was favoring the queen, and only Zhao Xiyan, Xia Shuning, and Yan Fengjun knew that Zhao Xiyan was favoring Xia Shuning and Yan Fengjun.Zhao Xiyan was thoughtful, and Yan Fengjun was pregnant. The reaction of the two of them was not like surprise or jealousy when they found out for the first time, but as if they had known it for a long time.If this matter continues to be investigated, it will not be good for anyone, the child is fine, just take care of it in the future.If the investigation continues, it will be difficult to deal with Xia Shuning and Yan Fengjun.With the queen's temperament, he would trust Yan Fengjun to trip her up, but she was so stupid to trip her up in such an open manner.What's more, there are so many dancers and concubines performing on it, why did Yan Fengjun step on it.Zhao Xiyan thought about it, and Xia Shuning and Yan Fengjun got so close these days, so he knew a little bit.He actually laughed, these two people are very interesting, aren't they both big-hearted people?Now it's a bit small-bellied.Could it be because of the favor he gave to the queen that night?A discerning person also knows that things are not easy, but the emperor said so, that is, these slaves did not do their best, and almost harmed the concubine and the dragon fetus.Su Qingshu was still in shock, but Xia Shuning and Yan Fengjun helped her and shifted the responsibility to those servants.These slaves are slaves in the queen's palace, and they made insinuations, asking the queen not to mess around.
"Report to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, those servants have already been killed."
"Honorable burial, comfort to the family."
"Yes!"
King Yu was also a little frightened, the domineering old eleven just now looked like a former emperor.King Yu got up quickly and praised Zhao Xiyan as a benevolent and wise king, regardless of previous suspicions, he even buried his family generously.Zhao Xiyan couldn't tell the difference between joy and anger, and just ordered the family banquet to continue.Zhao Xiyan glanced at Su Qingshu, and Su Qingshu became a little calmer after seeing his eyes.Because of Yan Fengjun's pregnancy, Zhao Xiyan rewarded him with many things, and so did the Queen Mother.Several princes even congratulated the emperor on the birth of a dragon son, and immediately sent good things to the unborn dragon descendant.Because she was immersed in the matter of Yan Fengjun's pregnancy, it was as if what happened just now hadn't happened. The family banquet continued, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.But Su Qingshu is not in the mood anymore, this matter has the meaning of harming others and ultimately harming himself.Until the end of the family banquet, Zhao Xiyan drank a lot of wine, Xia Shuning helped Zhao Xiyan back to Weiyang Palace, and for a while, only the empress and concubine Liang were left in the huge Chaoyang Palace.This matter is nothing more than a trivial skill, and Yan Fengjun doesn't pay attention to it at all.Su Qingshu is the queen after all, the reason why she can sit on the queen's throne is like a mirror in everyone's heart.This matter is just to make the empress restrain herself, there are many ways to get the emperor's favor, don't just harm him.
"What happened today, my sister was shocked. It turned out that I didn't know that my sister was pregnant."
"The empress is shocked, but my sister is nothing. The empress must remember that your majesty is the master of the world, the husband of you and my sisters, and the father of the children. Your majesty has a special status, and there is a mistake. , that should be a real disaster. In the future, the empress should carefully consider it, and don't use the wrong method."
"My palace would like to thank Concubine Liang for her kind words."
"My sister is a smart person, my sister will leave."
Yan Fengjun curled his lips into a smile, which was very cold.Su Qingshu was frightened by the Queen Mother just now, and after hearing Yan Fengjun's warning, he knew in his heart that it might be because of Zhao Xiyan's illness in Fengqi Palace a few days ago.She was aggrieved and almost wanted to cry.She used the wrong method, but she was also deceived to make it so.If she had known that Zhao Xiyan had been harmed in this way, she would never have done so.The queen mother had already punished her, and Zhao Xiyan ignored her, and now this has been done again.Su Qingshu looked at Yan Fengjun's retreating back, and held back his tears.She wasn't like this before, why did she become like this?
Xia Shuning helped Zhao Xiyan to Weiyang Palace, and when he arrived at the bedroom, Xia Shuning wiped it carefully for him.Zhao Xiyan has a poor capacity for alcohol, but he tastes good. When he is drunk, he just sleeps quietly without crying or making trouble.After Xia Shuning took care of him to wash up, she sent the person out to change his clothes.Just when Xia Shuning untied Zhao Xiyan, Zhao Xiyan suddenly woke up and hugged her tightly.Xia Shuning thought he was really drunk, but who knew he was faking it, and was taken aback.
"Master! Are you drunk?"
After all, Zhao Xiyan had been drinking before, and drinking was easy to get on his face, so he stared at her vaguely with drunken eyes.Zhao Xiyan exhaled those warm breaths with a touch of fruit wine, all of which hit Xia Shuning's cheeks, making her extremely hot.
"I have a poor capacity for drinking. The wine in the glass is all fruit wine, so I can't get drunk."
"Why is my husband pretending to be drunk?"
"I want to go back to the room to examine you early."
"You know everything?"
"What do you say?"
"But it's my fault?"
"But for that night in Fengqi Palace?"
"The queen has gone too far, how could she drug you for the sake of favor."
"Jealous?"
"Worried about your body."
Zhao Xiyan was close to her, their eyes met.As expected, no matter what Xia Shuning did, whether he was wrong or right, he never had the slightest intention to blame her.Although Zhao Xiyan said that his eyes were hazy with drunkenness, his eyes were all about her, and he was so gentle that he could pinch water.Zhao Xiyan hugged Xia Shuning harder, as if he wanted to blend the two of them together.
"My life is destined to be for others. Only you are the only light in my life."
"No matter what you do, even if it's a bad thing, I just can't blame you. Even because you are holding me tight, I'm a little happy. I'm really a bad emperor, and I'm not fair at all."
Xia Shuning lay on his chest, feeling his warmth, heartbeat, and love words.Even though there are already two children and we have been a husband and wife for many years, this heart will still throb and surge as long as he feels it.Zhao Xiyan leaned close to her ear and whispered softly.
"Next time you do something bad, can you call me?"
"it is good."
Zhao Xiyan hugged her up a little, pecked Xia Shuning's red lips, and his lips and teeth blended together.Xia Shuning knew all along that Zhao Xiyan was determined not to blame her.Tonight is another night of bright spring, which can be regarded as punishment.
