Chapter 173 The Legend of Zhen Huan (18)
An Lingrong hurriedly hurriedly finally arrived at the Old Summer Palace three days before Princess Wen Yi's first birthday party. He first went to greet the queen, but was provoked by the queen and was assigned to live in Zhen Huan's Bitong Academy. This will be After putting down the luggage, he hurried to the main courtyard to see Zhen Huan.
Today, because Yu Ying'er did not commit suicide, An Lingrong no longer has the role of going to the cold palace to help Zhen Huan kill Yu Ying'er. Now she has no suspicion against Zhen Huan. The relationship between the two is good. The queen's wishful thinking is to empty.
On the day of Wen Yi's first birthday banquet, in addition to the Queen Mother and Concubine Duan, all the concubines and concubines of the palace were present, as well as the emperor's brothers and their wives. It was really lively and gave Wen Yi a lot of face.
Zhen Yuyan's attention was almost all on Zhen Huan. Watching her quietly leave the table, a smile appeared on her lips.
"What are you thinking about coming here, sister, to be so happy?" Mr. Xingui sat not far from Zhen Yuyan and asked with some doubts as he looked at Zhen Yuyan's smile.
Xinguiren paid attention to Zhen Yuyan, and Zhen Yuyan said in her heart that it was unnecessary, it was really unnecessary!
"My sister saw that Wan Changzai was really bold. He dared to leave the banquet without permission. She couldn't help but find it funny." Zhen Yuyan replied lightly.
Hearing this, Mr. Xingui raised his eyes and looked at the seat opposite Wan Chang, and found that it was indeed empty.He frowned slightly, thinking to himself that Wan Changzai was really brave, but the matter had nothing to do with him, so he didn't need to pay attention to it. He also told Zhen Yuyan to ignore it, and only when Zhen Yuyan nodded, Xin Gui felt relieved. .
However, the conversation between the two was overheard by Concubine Qi in front of them. Concubine Qi also raised her eyes and looked at Zhen Huan's seat, and said without shame: "It's different when Wan Changzai is favored. Even at the banquet, people dared to leave the banquet and run out. There are so many people here today, and they are all confused. I don’t know what they thought Wan Chang was here to see.”
The queen was shocked by Concubine Qi's words. Has Concubine Qi learned to be smart?
"Concubine Qi must be careful, Huan'er is a concubine after all. Concubine Qi is despicable for slandering her reputation like this!" Shen Meizhuang immediately stood up to defend her ally Zhen Huan.
Concubine Qi was so irritated by Shen Meizhuang, and she immediately felt extremely unhappy: "My sister and Wan Chang Zai are sisters, and they naturally protect themselves. They are upright and are not afraid of the shadow. My sister is a noble person, and I am a concubine. My sister is like this regardless of disobedience to me." , but it makes people feel that Wan Chang is really doing something outside."
Shen Meizhuang was just about to argue a few words when Prince Dun said stubbornly: "Haha, there will be a good show today."
Just such a sentence made the emperor immediately angry: "Okay, shut up. Concubine Qi is the leader. She talks carelessly and is unbecoming of a concubine. She will be grounded after today's banquet and will be lifted on the day she returns to the palace. "
Concubine Qi was always bully and fearful of the strong. When the emperor said this, she was so frightened that she dared not speak.Seeing that Shen Meizhuang won this battle by half a point, the emperor's eyes looking at Shen Meizhuang became colder and colder, and he turned to look at Zhen Huan's empty seat thoughtfully.
When Zhen Huan came back, she only felt that the atmosphere was depressing, but she didn't know why. Prince Guo also entered the palace shortly afterwards, which was even more thought-provoking. However, no one dared to talk about anything, except for his own princess who refused to listen to any advice. Prince Dun.
"If the prince and Wan often come in one after another, it is really possible that it is as Concubine Qi said!" Prince Dun's face was full of ridicule, and he couldn't hide his smile when he looked at the emperor.
Prince Guo saw that the misfortune was leading to the east, and said quickly: "Brother Huang also knows that I am used to being lazy on weekdays, and it is common to be late for banquets. Fortunately, brother Huang doesn't care. How can I have to deal with Wan in the palace again?" Chang Zai is involved?"
The emperor squinted his eyes, revealing a dangerous tone, and his words were audible: "Seventeen, of course I trust you, but the emperor is talking about your marriage every day. You are not young anymore, so you can get married as soon as possible. To avoid suspicion from those who are interested.”
Prince Guo was stunned and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Brother, I don't have a beloved woman yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sachet fell from his waist, and the sharp-eyed queen saw it, and joked: "Seventeenth brother said he has no love, look at that sachet must be a gift from the woman he loves."
"Su Peisheng, bring it up." The emperor didn't wait for Prince Guo to respond, and immediately ordered Su Peisheng to bring it up. When he opened it, his face turned dark.
The emperor stuffed the small red statue back into the sachet and held it tightly in his hand. He looked at Prince Guo with a cold expression and almost ate it. He took a deep breath and said, "I also look at this fragrance." It's a bag that looks like a woman's item. I've long heard that Meng Jingxian, the daughter of Duke Meng, won't marry you unless you marry her. I'm afraid this is not Meng Jingxian's."
Prince Guo wanted to refuse in his heart, but because of the emperor's eyes, he could only accept it hard: "My brother is naturally in love with Miss Meng, and today I also want to take advantage of Princess Wen Yi's first birthday banquet to propose to my brother Meng Jingxian, and also I hope your brother will be successful."
When King Guo said these words, Zhen Yuyan felt her heart hurt and frowned slightly, secretly thinking that the original owner's emotions were harmful to others.Fortunately, the emperor's eyes were all on Prince Guo and Zhen Huan, so he didn't notice himself, otherwise he would have fallen into this situation.
Besides, Zhen Huan was being slandered inexplicably. She only felt that Duke Guo was frivolous, so how could she have anything to do with him? He was naturally frank, which also saved her from the death penalty.
The emperor got the answer he wanted. There was no response from Zhen Huan when he saw her again, so he said: "In that case, I will decree that Meng Jingxian will be given to you as Fu Jin. I will instruct the Ministry of Etiquette to do it, and we will get married after returning to the capital."
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Prince Guo could only accept such an imperial edict with tears in his eyes.
As a result, the banquet became a bit dull for a moment because of the awkward atmosphere.
"Ugh~" In this dull atmosphere, a discordant sound of vomiting suddenly appeared.
It turned out that Zhen Huan asked about the cold food. The smell of oil was stronger and she suddenly felt a little nauseous.
Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Qi said confusedly: "I'm afraid she's not pregnant."
"Do you think everyone looks pregnant? Shen Guiren does, and so does Wan Changzai." Naturally, Concubine Hua couldn't see her concubine being pregnant, so she could only blame Concubine Qi.
"Two sisters, stop arguing. Now it's time to ask the imperial doctor to see Wan Changzai." The queen came out to talk to Xini again.
The emperor called the imperial physician to diagnose her pulse. It was indeed a month since she was pregnant. However, because of his previous suspicion, the emperor just nodded and did not give promotion or reward. He only ordered an imperial physician to install Zhen Huan's fetus, but he did not agree with Zhen Huan's request to order Dr. Wen to install the fetus. According to the request, the emperor now does not allow anyone who is not his to be around Zhen Huan.
Zheng was delighted with Zhen Huan, but the queen still looked virtuous and ordered people to give her a reward.
Concubine Hua didn't look very good, and she even resented Concubine Duan who was rushing here.
Seeing Zhen Huan disrupting Wen Yi's first birthday party, Xiang Concubine became more resentful towards Zhen Huan.
Shen Meizhuang is happy for Zhen Huan.
Everyone has their own thoughts, but everyone unanimously understands why the emperor did not promote or reward Zhen Huan and kept it secret.
As for the emperor's concubine being pregnant, the others naturally congratulated her, and the banquet was not interesting anymore, so it broke up early, so that when Concubine Duan arrived with gifts, everyone had already left.
In this way, several classic plots such as Zhen Huan's Jinghong Dance, Hua Fei's Lou Dong Fu, and Duan Fei's Matryoshka Dolls were dropped by Butterfly.
