Pampered Into Being The Empress - Chapter 38

The protagonist of this banquet is the De concubine who has passed their birthday and Mu Tao who has just been crowned the king. The seats of the mother and child are placed on the upper side, next to the food table of Mu Huai and Rong Xi.

Because of his suspiciousness, Mu Huai in his previous life listened to the rumors and cruelly designed and executed his own three-emperor brother.

After Mu Tao passed away, he knew that he had made a big mistake. His Three Emperor Brothers had never been rebellious.

I remembered that when his leg ailment had not healed before, Mu Tao had taken care of his half-brother, and helped him a lot in secret.

He has a surly temperament. When he was in the Hanlin Academy, he would make some clan and family-born companions dare not say anything. Mu Tao would always deal with his aftermath and explain with those clan and family members, fearing that Mu Huai would offend too much. people.

And Mu Ji would often use these things to show his Wen Fang’s virtue.

Although his relationship with Mu Ji and Mu Qian was grievous due to the old things between his mother’s generation, Mu Tao couldn’t bear to see his brothers smashing the wall. During the years when he could not walk on his legs because of Zhong Gu, Mu Tao didn’t think about repairing it. The relationship of the three.

After the death of Mu Tao in his previous life, Mu Huai recalled all the things he had done before, and realized that Brother Three Emperors had done a lot for him silently.

Later when he became the throne, Mu Tao did not help him to share his worries during the drought in the Great Qi Dynasty. He personally went to Zizhou where the drought was the most severe and was a virtuous king who cared for the people.

Time changes and things are easy, and Mu Huai thinks of things in his previous life, and feels ashamed of Mu Tao in his heart.

Mu Huai raised the wine jue with a rare attitude respectfully, wishing concubine De concubine birthday, and congratulated Mu Tao on the king of Kaifu.

Concubine De Fei was flattered, and was stunned for a moment before he lifted up the Jiujue and drank the wine.

She had the best relationship with Mu Huai’s mother, the concubine, and Mu Huai was considered to have grown up, but even when the concubine was still alive, she felt that the four princes had a bit of temperament.

After Mu Huai became the prince, although he was proficient in all manners of civil and military strategy, he was also a good prince of diligence and strategy, but his temper became more and more arrogant.

He has a high status, and he has the abilities that are extremely difficult for ordinary people, and it is normal for him to be cold tempered.

After the death of Concubine Xian, Mu Huai suffered from leg problems soon. Concubine De was distressed for the fourth prince who lost his mother when he urinated. She always warned Mu Tao to take care of Mu Huai when he was in the Imperial Academy.

Mu Tao is sensible. Over the years, he has been following Mu Huai’s teachings by his mother and concubine, and he has a very good relationship with his brother Mu Ji.

Although Mu Ji is now confined in the palace, Concubine De concubine feels relieved to see that the prince is still friendly to her and Mu Tao.

When Emperor Zhuang told her about making Mu Tao the king, she still had some worries in her heart. She was afraid that Mu Huai would be jealous of Mu Tao. Before Mu Tao moved to the palace, she talked a lot with him to make him Be sure to keep a low profile, and never go past the Prince of the East.

Concubine Li’s affairs left her with lingering fears. She was too aware of how cruel the prince was. Fortunately, it seemed that the prince was unsuspecting her mother and son.

Emperor Zhuang saw everything in his eyes, and gently said to the queen beside him: “I see that the prince has a much more modest temperament than before after accepting Liangdi. I also know that I am filial to my concubine and brother Gongyou.”

The queen nodded and looked at Mu Huai and Rong Xi, but the smile on their faces was a little stiff.

Seeing the Jiujue Kongkong in front of Rong Xi, Defei asked in a puzzled manner: “Liangdi is not drinking well? Why don’t you see you drinking?”

After hearing this, Rong Xi glanced at Mu Huai beside him. He didn’t know how to return to Concubine De. Few people in the palace knew that she was pregnant. She didn’t know whether Mu Huai intended to let others know about it.

Mu Huai was obsessed with Jiu Jue in his palm, and his condensed and three-dimensional profile looked very calm. After he nodded, Rong Xi would be out of his mind, and then softly explained to Concubine De: “…the concubine is pregnant, so …Cannot drink alcohol.”

After that, he clutched his lower abdomen, and lowered his eyes slightly a little ashamed.

Concubine De concubine showed a happy smile on her face, and praised: “Liangdi is a blessed person who is born beautiful. I can’t blame the prince for petting you.”

The two sisters of the Zhai family opposite the seat have been observing the dialogue between Rong Xi and Concubine De. Although they are still some distance away from her, Zhai Shiyin carefully identified the mouth shapes of Rong Xi and Concubine Na De, and saw Rong Xi subconsciously. The action of protecting her lower abdomen made her heart tight.

It seems that Zhai Shihua really guessed right, that concubine was pregnant!

At the banquet, the crowds are staggered, and the mellow fragrance is overflowing.

Mu Huai wore the emperor prince’s ocher and yellow banquet clothes, and he wore dark black rhino hairpins. His eyes were deep and dazzling. He clearly gave birth to a bright and handsome appearance, but his aura was extremely aggressive, making people afraid to look at him.

He coldly swept past the concubines of Emperor Zhuang Di, and only drank a few sacred wines, and had no intention of using these extravagant dishes.

After he took the throne in his previous life, there were only a handful of banquets held in a year. In addition to the necessary royal sacrifices, officials from the Ministry of Rites were rarely required to preside over these ceremonies.

Mu Huai silently looked at the dishes on the dining table. Each dish was worth a lot of money. If you save the money for these dishes and the musicians enshrined in the palace, you might be able to buy a lot from Xijiang. A good horse can also afford thousands of soldiers a year.

Thinking that three years later, the drought that will occur on the border of Daqi has exhausted the national treasury. In his previous life, Yan Juxu adopted a more relaxed policy to allow Daqi to recuperate and restore his national strength.

But it took two or three years to make up for the drought.

In the past two or three years, he has been in Annei, and he had to give up the troubles.

Looking at these imperial concubines, Mu Huai felt agitated.

After Emperor Zhuang died, he still had to raise these concubines and concubines, and the cost of food and clothing was only more expensive than before.

As for the drought three years later, he can only prevent it in advance, not stop it.

Although the emperor is the emperor of the true dragon, the **** of heaven is going to reduce the drought, no matter how powerful he is, he can’t stop it.

Rong Xi also suffers from loss of appetite.

She didn’t want to take care of Mu Huai, who had been sullen, anyway, the man’s temperament was always volatile, and she had long been used to it.

But I was thinking that I was wearing brocade clothes, eating luxurious food, and enjoying royal honor.

But where are Yun Lan and Huanniang?

They should have lived well, Yun Lan should be conscientiously practicing her medical skills at Shang Pharmacy, Huanniang should also live an ordinary and happy life with her family.

The instigator, Zhai Shiyin, the eldest lady of the Zhai family, was also at this palace banquet, dressed up as Yun-huajiao, looking more graceful than the princess.

The maid presented the fish one after another, Rong Xi felt a little nauseated after sniffing the smell, and the symptom of ecstasy he had not committed for a long time recurred.

She clutched her heart, and whispered to Mu Huai: “Husband…The concubine is a little bit sick, afraid of vomiting at the banquet, so I want to leave the banquet first.”

Mu Huai’s thoughts stopped a bit, and he turned around to ask, but saw that Rong Xi had already got up, and quickly left here with Danxiang.

He reluctantly shook his head and ordered the **** beside him to say, “Go and let the attendant follow Liangdi and tell her that if she doesn’t feel well, she doesn’t need to return to the banquet and go directly to the East Palace to rest.”

The **** should be.

Mu Huai saw that the sapphire dish in front of Rong Xi was clean. Like him, he didn’t use any food, but he finally frowned, thinking that he would go and see it in person.

After Rong Xi came out of the Zirui Palace, she carried Danxiang to the nearby Imperial Garden. She leaned on the cliff’s rockery, clutching her heart and retching for a while.

The attendant already followed the two of them, but at this moment, Zhai Shiyin also took the maid she brought into the palace from her mother’s house, and walked in front of everyone.

The side that Rong Xi showed to the Zhai sisters has always been a domineering and arrogant sloppy beauty. Today’s a little bit of weakness, but never seen before.

Zhai Shiyin felt a little displeased when he saw another attendant blocking her.

After Rong Xi’s sickness subsided, he straightened up. Although his throat was still sweet and soft, it was cold.

She asked Zhai Shiyin coldly, “What are you doing?”

Zhai Shiyin’s gorgeous clothes flickered, and she gathered her updo like a cloud, pretending to be concerned: “Rong Liangdi’s blissful disorder is a bit serious. Is it really hard for this baby to be pregnant?”

Rong Xi’s gorgeous face was a bit cold. She did not reply to Zhai Shiyin’s words, but instead asked, “Ms. Zhai has found this place. Isn’t it possible that Miss Zhai came here to care about me and the Prince’s children?”

Zhai Shiyin chuckled, secretly saying that this concubine is not too stupid.

With Leng Yueshuanghua, Zhai Shiyin’s clear and beautiful face was dazzling, and she said quietly: “A few years ago, my father had a Taichang Temple named Rong Bing with the surname Rong.”

After the conversation, Zhai Shiyin observed Rong Xi’s face.

When Rong Xi heard the word Rong Bing, his heart beat, but his expression was still calm.

Zhai Shiyin said again: “When Rong Bingwei was the first empress moved to the tomb, he neglected his duties and committed a serious offense. As a result, the coffin of the first empress was eaten by termites, and then he was cut off from the official position by the emperor and exiled again. ”

Rong Xi didn’t know how Zhai Shiyin knew about this. She guessed what she was thinking. She couldn’t blame for these days. Danxiang said that someone in the palace was telling her about her life.

It was said that she was the daughter of a criminal official, but she kept telling her from His Royal Highness.

Mu Huai ordered to suppress these rumors, but this matter has already been heard, and it will be very difficult to press again.

No one is too busy to check her details, after all, in the past, there were also emperors who accepted civil women as concubines.

These rumors must be spread by Zhai Shiyin

Rong Xi clenched his fan fist secretly.

Seeing Rong Xi’s silence, Zhai Shiyin’s tone was slightly aggressive, and then said: “If Rong Bing has children, he is your age. Rong Liangdi is really a good method, and the prince concealed the identity of the daughter of the criminal, and returned mother. Ping Zigui has a position, isn’t he afraid of being exposed?”

Rong Xi curled his lips slightly and smiled beautifully.

When Zhai Shiyin was slightly startled, he saw Rong Xi looking up and down at her with those peach blossom eyes, and calmly replied, “Where did you hear the news? Feel free to find a courtier with the same surname as mine, and he will become mine. Father, Miss Zhai’s life is really leisurely.”

Rong Xi didn’t want to cause trouble to Mu Huai because of his father’s affairs. Zhai Shiyin came prepared and wanted to stop her. She still couldn’t reveal her identity.

Zhai Shiyin couldn’t fully confirm whether Rong Xi was Rong Bing’s daughter. Seeing that Rong Xi was still calm and calm, her gentle voice sank a bit, and said with a smile: “Don’t care if you are that Rong Bing’s daughter, There are already many people in and outside the palace that the prince actually married the daughter of a criminal official as a good lady. After a while, the censors of Jianyuan will impeach the impeachment. The prince himself promised you. Your status is too high. You are lowly and have no background. You should have restrained your temperament, but you are still domineering. Rong Liangdi, I advise you to be a low-key person. Don’t think that you just have an heir. Lawless, the handle is held in the hands of others, are you afraid of falling from a height someday?”

After Rong Xi returned to the palace with Mu Huai, he never concealed Mu Huai’s identity.

Although the identity of the daughter of her own criminal minister is true, she can do nothing about it.

But what face does Zhai Shiyin have in front of her?

Before Mu Huai let go of her position, she relied on being the queen’s niece, the eldest daughter of Zhai, who is the Book of Etiquette, and taught her every bit of identity and bit by bit.

Do you really think you are already the Princess of the East Palace?

Now he is setting up the room score in front of her, asking her to drink tea from the concubine room.

Seeing Rong Xi’s anger and trembling with anger on his slender shoulders, Zhai Shiyin smiled deeper and said: “Persuade you to be your own way. The concubine who is spoiled and arrogant has never come to an end, let alone you have no status. The concubine room that can count on the husband’s favor…”

Before they finished speaking, everyone saw Rong Liangdi, a petite stature, walking quickly to the slightly taller Zhai Shiyin, and slapped her with their hands.

The “pop–” sounded loud and crisp.

This slap was so heavy that Zhai Shiyin was buzzed.

She couldn’t believe it.

Although he knew that Rong Xi came from the folks and acted vulgarly, he didn’t expect that a delicate woman would actually slap someone?

Rong Xi’s palms were also burning fiercely painful. She had held Yu Zhaorong’s mouths in the palace before, knowing what strength to use to make people more painful.

After Zhai Shiyin suffered, it would take three days to reduce the swelling.

It took a long while for Zhai Shiyin to relax. She brought only one court lady, and she was not as crowded as Rong Xi, who was surrounded by attendants.

She clutched her painful cheeks, looked at Rong Xi in disbelief, and asked angrily, “You…you dare to hit me? I am the queen’s niece, how dare you beat me as a good girl?”

Rong Xi chuckled when he mentioned the queen.

If it wasn’t for the queen, Yu Zhaorong would not lose her baby.

She really hated these women surnamed Zhai.

Rong Xi’s sweet and soft voice sounded a little overwhelming at this time. She said coldly to Zhai Shiyin: “Listen well, I don’t have any mother’s background, but as you said, I’m the prince’s favor. I am pregnant with the royal heir again. If you dare to deceive me half a mile, do you think the prince will protect me? If you are really confident and can successfully enter the eastern palace as a concubine, then I will wait for you in the eastern palace to see if you can take the prince His favor was taken away from me.”

“you……”

Zhai Shiyin has already lost the ability to speak.

Rong Xi saw a familiar figure not far away, and when he saw that Zhai Shiyin was holding his cheek to leave here, he hurriedly pulled the hairpin off, and then, under Danxiang’s surprised eyes, he drew his hair into a mess.

Seeing Rong Xi’s behavior, Zhai Shiyin secretly sighed that this woman is really a mad woman, she should have lost her mind now, what good is she looking good? The moves made one by one are more incomprehensible, without a royal manner.

Just about to turn around and leave, I heard a voice with suppressed anger coming from not far away——

Mu Huai’s complexion was sullen, standing tall and straight in front of the crowd, and asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”

As soon as Zhai Shiyin was about to reply, he saw Rong Xi, like a frightened Huang Ying, rushing into the man’s arms in front of her.

Shicai still looked like she was about to eat her, but now it is raining with pear flowers. I see You Lian.

Mu Huai hugged her, with a slightly eager voice, and then asked again: “How come you are like this?”

Under Zhai Shiyin’s surprised look, Rong Xi leaned his head against the man’s arms and whispered in a very aggrieved voice: “His Royal Highness, Miss Zhai is going to teach her concubine, please look at the hair on her concubine. Ms. Zhai’s hairpin was knocked out, and the concubine was in pain.”
