The favorite wife of the black-bellied prime minister

Chapter 197 Duanyang Banquet (2)
Such unabashed praise made Concubine Li stunned for a moment, her eyes passed Emperor Jing Yuan to look at Empress Situ's cold side face, she blushed and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty made fun of my concubine... If it weren't for His Majesty's flute sound, the courtiers would definitely not be able to dance a good-looking dance, if His Majesty likes it, you can go to the courtier's place tonight, and wait for the courtiers to present another dance for His Majesty."

Emperor Jing Yuan laughed loudly, looked around at the concubines and said, "It's so good! I haven't forgotten the dancing posture of Concubine Li in these years, it's definitely not my intention to be partial, and my beloved concubines don't want to be dissatisfied, just have nothing to do You can ask Concubine Li for advice."

After the concubines heard this, they immediately stood up to offer wine to Concubine Li, and said in unison: "I will ask Sister Li Concubine to teach you more in the future, sisters thank you in advance."

Concubine Li accepted this respect generously. The Seventh Prince Baili Mingxu saw his mother and concubine being praised, and laughed and bit his ears with Baili Luo next to him. The voice of a ten-year-old child came to everyone's ears clearly: "Sister Luo, the concubine mother looks so pretty when she smiles. Hee hee."

Bai Lijing's eyes fell on the queen mother, her brows were inadvertently frowned, the father praised Concubine Li in front of all the concubines, but he still ignored the queen mother intentionally or unintentionally like countless times before.Although the empress mother looked indifferent and indifferent as usual, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.She sat too far away from the queen mother, and the mother and daughter felt separated for no reason, but even if she was right next to the queen mother, the queen mother never cared about other people's comfort, she was just a useless daughter.

When the wine was half full, Emperor Jing Yuan probably felt bored, and stopped flirting with Concubine Li, but looked at Baili Jing's direction and asked, "Jing'er, how is the son-in-law? Has the condition improved?"

Bai Lijing raised her head and replied with a faint smile: "Father, Mo Wen's health has improved a lot since he was diagnosed and treated by a genius doctor a few days ago. If he rests for a while, he should be even better. Let Father be worried."

"That's good..." Emperor Jing Yuan nodded, his expression not mixed with joy or anger, and said to Gao Xian, the chief eunuch beside him: "Gao Xian, I remember that two days ago, the Beijun Mansion sent two thousand-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain, and asked them to find it. Come out and send it to Consort Jing."

"Yes. This servant will give you an order." Gao Xian replied.

Under the order of Emperor Jing Yuan, the faces of all the concubines became a little weird. Even though the lord of the central palace, Empress Situ, had never given birth to a royal heir, all the best things were still given to the first princess.Thousand-year-old ginseng is so rare that even Changbai Mountain can't dig out a few, not to mention rare, but this ginseng is a tribute from Beijun Mansion. If you want to reward it, it should be shared equally with Jinyang King's daughter-in-law, Princess Luo.

Emperor Jing Yuan didn't express anything about it, as if he couldn't think of it at all.

"Thank you, Father, for your kindness! My son-in-law thanked Father!" Bai Lijing hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Only then did Queen Situ speak the first sentence of the night: "Your Majesty, please don't spoil her, girls can't get used to it." Although the voice was slow, it was full of aggressive meaning, and it was unclear whether it was aimed at Bailijing or not. For Emperor Jing Yuan.

After hearing this, Emperor Jing Yuan said in a serious manner: "My daughter, who is not used to me?"

Obviously refuting Queen Situ.

As soon as the emperor and empress confronted each other, the entire banquet hall fell silent. The younger princesses were ignorant and giggled when they heard what Emperor Jing Yuan said, while the older princesses looked at Bailijing enviously or jealously.

Baililuo sneered in his heart, who is the emperor's daughter?In the eyes of the royal father, there is only Baili Jing, no matter how good the others are, they can't catch his eyes, and some princesses may not even remember their faces and names.

Empress Situ never liked to argue, no matter how happy Emperor Jing Yuan was, she would not accompany him when she wanted to, and if she didn't answer what Emperor Jing Yuan said, the two of them couldn't even quarrel.She can quarrel whenever she wants, and stop when she wants to, it's all up to her heart.

The harem is full of nosy masters, since they can't rule Concubine Li, and dare not confront Empress Situ, they can only talk about other things.Seeing that Baililuo and Han Ye had not spoken a single word throughout the night, and that Emperor Jingyuan was partial to Bailijing first, a concubine immediately asked with a smile, "Could it be that Princess Luo and Concubine Luo are bickering today? I don't like to talk all night."

Everyone's eyes were drawn to them immediately, but Baili Jing didn't follow her, her expression was indifferent, and she had no interest in what happened to them.

Han Ye never talked much, every time he went to a banquet, he just drank and never got drunk. The biggest punishment at the banquet was just fine wine.Hearing this questioning sound now, Han Ye just kept his usual smile and said, "Miss Lipin is joking."

"Yes, Madam Lipin was joking."

Before Han Ye finished speaking, Baililuo looked at Concubine Li with a smile, interjected, and suddenly lowered his head shyly: "If you talk about disputes, there is indeed a little dispute between Luo'er and the son-in-law today, but it's just It’s just a name, so I’m a bit embarrassed to say it.”

"Name?" Everyone was puzzled, and even Emperor Jing Yuan was quite interested.

Baililuo became more and more shy, and lowered her head: "Don't be afraid of the jokes of father, mother, empress, concubine and all the concubines, Luo'er is already pregnant, and it is because of the name of the child in the womb that she argues with the son-in-law...Being a parent for the first time is inevitable. Feeling apprehensive..."

"Ding Dong—" There was a crisp sound, and something fell to the ground and shattered.

"Princess Jing, this servant will change a spoon for you." The maid's voice was very clear in the quiet hall.

Bai Lijing lowered her eyelids, the hand that was holding the spoon just now tightened under the table, she nodded numbly: "...OK."

It's a shame, a shame again, they're married, it's a matter of time, why can't she care about it?She just slipped her hand and didn't hold it.But with such an explanation, who cares?
Although the smile on Han Ye's lips froze, it stayed there and never retracted. He saw everything he should see and heard everything he should hear, and he couldn't refute it.

The most important thing in a woman's life is to marry and have children. The episode of Bailijing smashing the spoon did not affect the true and false congratulations in the hall: "Princess Luo is very happy, and concubine Luo is very happy. Today is the Duanyang Festival. Have a great day!"

"Yes, congratulations! The baby will be born in January and February next year, and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Our palace is full of excitement again. The sisters have to hurry up and make new clothes and shoes for the little princess!"

Someone came to blame Han Ye again: "That's not right, concubine Luo. Since Princess Luo is already pregnant, it's the worst thing to get angry. How can you argue with her again? If you let her go, there's nothing wrong with the couple." Noisy, fights at the head of the bed and the bed and the bed, a couple of one night, a hundred nights!"

Even Concubine Li was quite surprised and said: "Luo'er, you are pregnant?! That's great!" Turning her head to Emperor Jing Yuan joyfully, she said, "Your Majesty, this is your first grandson. !"
