Regarding Xiao Heng's encounter with the assassin at the temple fair, it was somehow suppressed. No one talked about it, and maybe many people didn't know about it.

Time passed by in a blink of an eye, and finally it was Queen Qi's birthday.

All five gates of the palace have been opened. Except for the largest door in the middle, no one is leaving. There are people walking around the other four gates.

The original rule was that only courtiers who received invitations could enter the palace to celebrate the Queen, but for some reason Emperor Kangyuan was so pleased that he specifically allowed courtiers of third rank and above to enter the palace with their families.

But the only requirement is that concubines and concubines are not allowed to enter. After all, this is the birthday of the current queen, and concubines and concubines cannot be asked to cause trouble for the queen.

Today's morning court ended quickly, and Emperor Kang Yuan obviously had no extra thoughts to listen to the ministers' political affairs.

Of course, the ministers also understood what Emperor Kang Yuan was thinking. They quickly finished the matter one by one and brought their wives and children into the palace as soon as possible after leaving the court.

At the gate of Prince Runan's Mansion, Yao Qin helped Princess Runan walk out. In order to follow Princess Runan's footsteps, Yao Qin walked very slowly.

"Qinqin, learn from Ranran today and don't cause trouble again. It's different when you enter the palace. Everyone is watching your every word and deed. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Even if your father is Even if I am alone, I can't accomplish anything." Princess Runan warned her.

Yao Qin nodded. Of course she knew that the inside of the palace was different from the outside. "Don't worry, mother and concubine, I will be more cautious and not leave the slightest chance to the people in the palace. Besides, with Ranran by my side, mother Concubine, aren’t you still relieved?”

Princess Runan chuckled, "With Ranran by your side, you don't need to worry. I'm just afraid that Ranran is not by your side. Your Majesty has been in poor health recently. You need to pay more attention to hear some little news." , saying that the empress is happy, but the emperor did not announce it to the public."

"Ah? It turns out that the empress is pregnant, which is a good thing. For so many years, the empress has only had one son, the Crown Prince. If she is pregnant, whether it is a princess or a prince, in the end, she will not be so lonely." Yao Qin said with a smile, "Ran Ran's marriage is really good. I didn't expect that before we got married, the empress would have good news."

Princess Runan glanced at her daughter and couldn't help but feel worried.

Yes, Lin Qingran married well. While she was happy, she was a little worried about her daughter. No matter what, her daughter was not too young, but so far no one had come to ask for her to marry her. This made Princess Runan I was quite anxious.

This time for the Queen's birthday, I don't know how many famous ladies and young men from aristocratic families were going. She was very insistent on taking Yao Qin there. The most fundamental reason was this.

It's just that she can't tell Yao Qin about this, otherwise she will definitely be angry. She doesn't want to hear Princess Runan say this now.

The mother and daughter quickly got on the carriage, which headed all the way to the palace.

Today, the palace is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. There was no excitement during the New Year before, but now it seems that they are taking this opportunity to join in the excitement.

A banquet had been set up in the palace, and the ministers and their families filed in from the palace entrance and headed towards the venue.

Along the way, various ministers and their families also greeted each other.

Lin Qingran walked beside Xu. Although it was not her first time entering the palace, she had not walked in this direction before, and now she always felt that the scenery around her was very pleasant.

Perhaps it was also because of Queen Qi's birthday party, so the people in the palace carefully prepared a lot of things, making the entire palace look different. Maybe today is such a good day, even God was kind and it didn't snow.

Earlier, Lin Qingran planned to take a good rest, but as soon as she reached the banquet venue, she was invited over by Yuan Bao, along with Xu.

It turned out that Queen Qi wanted to talk to the Lin family mother and daughter, and many of the female relatives were envious.

When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Lin Qingran and Xu quickly saluted the queen as soon as they saw her.

"I, my concubine, have seen your empress. She is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"No need to be so polite, we are all a family, get up quickly. I see that it is still early, and the prince happened to come to say hello, so I asked Yuan Bao to see you bring me here to talk about old times. But the prince has other important things in hand now, so he left. We’ll be there at the banquet later.”

Queen Qi may be in a good mood, her face is obviously rosy, and Lin Qingran can't help but smile.

Now that Queen Qi knows that she is pregnant, I believe she will take good care of herself and her child, so that nothing so dangerous will happen, and the child will definitely be born safely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I and Ran Ran didn't want to deal with other people, so they happened to meet Yuan Bao who brought us here. I had wanted to come to see you earlier, but I didn't even bother with the morning and dusk routines for the concubines in the harem. I I don’t dare to come over and talk too much.” Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

Speaking of this, Queen Qi felt a little embarrassed.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I'm pregnant and not in good health. I've only recently been exempted from their morning and dusk sleep. Now the situation is better and the fetal image is stable. In addition, today is my birthday again, so I want to tell you. It doesn't matter." Queen Qi looked at Lin Qingran with a smile, "Speaking of which, it was because of Ranran that I found out that I was pregnant. When I met the prince at that time, although he was not really dead, his injuries It’s also very heavy, I’ve always been worried about it.”

"Don't say that, Madam, Ranran didn't do anything." Lin Qingran said quickly.

Queen Qi had her own thoughts in mind, "Ranran is a good boy. I told the prince alone earlier that I must treat Ranran well. Don't worry, Mrs. Lin. When Ranran marries into the palace, I will She will not be bullied. The prince also promised that I will treat Ran Ran well, and I believe he will not let Ran Ran be wronged."

Mrs. Xu quickly stood up to express her gratitude, "Thank you so much, Madam."

"Okay, don't thank me anymore. Didn't you already say that we are not outsiders?" Queen Qi covered her lips and smiled.

Lin Qingran didn't really believe what Queen Qi said. She mainly felt that Xiao Heng would not agree to such a request. After all, he was a man and the prince of the dynasty.

[Actually, it doesn’t matter if the queen doesn’t say that. I can’t be bullied by a doggy man. That’s not the case. His status means he can’t bully women. 】

[But it will definitely be boring to marry into the palace in the future. It will be impossible to make a splash. It’s all my fault that the dog man made me give up a forest! 】

Xiao Heng originally came to invite Queen Qi to the banquet, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard familiar complaints.

The next moment, Xiao Heng raised the corners of his mouth and walked towards the inner hall.
