Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 119 The bracelet given to me by the Imperial Grandmother

"Princess Ling is really good-looking. How many months have you been pregnant? Is there anything wrong with her?"

Murong Jiu stepped forward and saluted, and was helped up by the old lady beside the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother kindly looked her up and down, and then waved her to her side to ask her carefully.

She replied one by one. The Queen Mother patted her hand, took off a green bracelet from her wrist, put it on her hand, and praised:
"The Ai family is old. A bracelet of this color should match your bright green wrist."

Murong Jiu thanked her continuously, remembering that in her previous life, at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the Queen Mother gave her a bracelet like this, which was exactly the same.

In her previous life, her situation was very bad, so she was unhappy. There were rumors that the child in her belly was a bastard. After entering the palace, it was fine with Jun Yuyan by her side. No one dared to say anything, but Jun Yuyan had other things. As soon as she left, those unpleasant sounds rang in her ears.

She thought everyone hated her, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother actually called her up and put the bracelet on her hand with her own hands.

After that, no one dared to criticize her at the palace banquet.

She was extremely grateful to the Queen Mother.

Although the Queen Mother is not the Emperor's biological mother, she is highly respected by the Emperor. No one in the harem can surpass the Queen Mother.

When the late emperor passed away a few years ago, I heard that some ministers in the court had proposed that the young empress dowager and concubine should be buried with the late emperor. However, the newly enthroned emperor suppressed the proposal vigorously and resolutely.

The emperor's attitude is the direction of the court and the court. The emperor respects the queen mother, and the queen mother is the most noble person in Dayan.

Therefore, the Queen Mother's attitude towards Murong Jiu was cordial, and others did not dare to be disrespectful to Murong Jiu.

The same is true now.

The smile on the queen's face froze, but she didn't say anything.

"His Majesty is here!"

At this moment, the eunuch's announcement came from outside the palace.

Before the voice could finish, a bright yellow figure walked in quickly, it was the emperor.

Everyone saluted hurriedly, but Murong Jiu, who had been paying attention to the Queen Mother, noticed that a cold look flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.

"Mother, I didn't expect that you would return to the palace today. I am unable to greet you in person. Please forgive me, Mother."

There was a smile in the emperor's voice, as if he was very happy that the queen mother could return to the palace.

The Queen Mother looked calm: "Your Majesty has many things to do every day, so don't worry about these small things. The Ai family is just coming back to stay for a few days to see these juniors and follow the excitement."

The emperor seemed not to notice the cold look on the Queen Mother's face: "How many days will you be staying for a short time? Mother, you have been practicing hard in the Buddhist temple all year round, so you'd better stay a little longer before leaving. Your birthday is coming soon, and I still want to be happy for you. Let’s have one.”

"Your Majesty is interested, but Ai Jiaqing is used to it and doesn't like extravagance and waste, so that's all."

"Then listen to your mother."

It sounds like the mother-son friendship between the Emperor and the Queen Mother is very deep, and the Emperor seems to be very filial to the Queen Mother.

But Murong Jiu felt vaguely strange.

Behind the emperor were the second and fourth princes, Jun Yuyan and Prince Su from the Wu'an Hou Mansion. They had gone to the study to meet the saint. Perhaps because the emperor heard that the queen mother had returned to the palace, they came with the emperor to pay their respects to the queen mother.

Murong Jiu and Jun Yuyan's eyes met, and the latter smiled at her. Although she couldn't see clearly through the mask, she was very familiar with those deep eyes full of smiles.

What's more, there was comfort in his eyes.

She was wondering, might Jun Yuyan know something?
But when she saw him, Murong Jiu couldn't help but be distracted. She seemed to feel relieved and happy as soon as she saw him, but it was clear that they had been separated for less than half a quarter of an hour after entering the palace.

There were many people in the palace. The Queen Mother said a few words to the Emperor and then said nothing more. She was spinning a string of white jade beads faster and faster in her hand, as if she was not in a good mood, but she didn't show it on her face. Only Murong Jiu noticed it. this point.

Fortunately, the palace banquet was about to begin. The emperor glanced at the queen mother and asked everyone to move to the palace on the other side of the imperial garden.

Murong Jiu was a few steps behind, and Jun Yuyan came to her side. The two of them did not speak, but there was an atmosphere that no one else could get in the way.

The second prince looked back for a few times, his face darkening.Those who could come to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet were all important officials and their families. As soon as Murong Jiu and Jun Yuyan sat down, they saw Murong Man sitting with several young ladies from the Murong family, but the person who led them was not Not the Marquis and his wife, but the second master of the Marquis.

Murong Man was also dressed up today, but her face was haggard and even makeup could not hide it. Many noble ladies were whispering about her.

What he was talking about was nothing more than what happened in Ensubo Mansion not long ago. He didn't expect Murong Man to come today. After all, if this kind of thing happened to others, how could he be in the mood to attend the palace banquet.

"I heard that Mr. Murong and Mrs. Hou were seriously ill and had tumors on their faces. It's scary."

"It seems it's still contagious. Let's stay away from the Murong family's young lady, so we don't get involved."

When Murong Jiu heard these words, he chuckled.

The master is still very powerful. After the pustule disappeared, it turned into a tumor and grew on the face. It was too unsightly. How dare those two people show up? If they scared the queen in the palace, they might be punished. .

Murong Jiu could hear it, and so could Murong Man and others, so her face became even more ugly.

Murong Jiu moved his eyes away and looked at General Fu and the others who had just sat down.

Unexpectedly, General Fu and his three brothers all looked towards her, nodded to her and Jun Yuyan, and then calmly looked away.

She pursed her lips and heard Jun Yuyan whisper in her ear: "The second prince is watching."

While talking, he smoothed her hair on her temples.

When she met Jun Yuyan's gentle eyes, her heart beat a little faster. It turned out that they were doing it so calmly so as not to make the second prince suspicious.

She quietly curled her lips and whispered to Jun Yuyan.

"This is the bracelet given to me by the Imperial Grandmother. Is it good-looking?"

"It looks good. Everything looks good on Ah Jiu."

"You don't seem surprised?"

Jun Yuyan smiled at her.

Murong Jiu suddenly realized something. The Queen Mother would not show kindness to him for no reason. Could it be because of him?

It was also him in the previous life...

Thinking of this, her chest shook violently, feeling sour and astringent, as if something was about to flow out.

"What are the emperor's brothers and sisters-in-law whispering?"

At this time, the fifth princess next to the second prince suddenly spoke up.

Everyone looked towards them.

There were already many people secretly watching Murong Jiu, but now they were even more upright.

Jun Yuyan regained his cold expression: "We and I were chatting, and Fifth Sister seems to be very curious? Speaking of which, Fifth Sister is not young anymore, so she can look for a prince-in-law earlier. Does Fifth Sister have someone she likes?"

The fifth princess's face suddenly turned as red as a monkey's butt, and she hurriedly sat back.

"Concubine, please give your regards to the Queen Mother."

On the Queen Mother's side, an inconspicuous concubine went up to salute. Because the palace banquet had not officially started yet and many people were taking their seats, not many people noticed this concubine.

Murong Jiu had never seen her before, and Jun Yuyan's very soft voice reached her ears: "That's Concubine Jing."

Jing Bin!

She is Jing Bin!
But doesn’t Concubine Jing never attend palace banquets?
