Work overtime

Chapter 751

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Yuebai naturally attended in her official attire. Although she didn't like the queen's bright red, complicated, gorgeous and heavy full dress, and the heavy things stuck in her hair, she still had to wear it.

This is basic professional ethics. I can no longer dress as I please like I did when I was a clerk.

She finally experienced firsthand the meaning of the saying "If you want to bear the crown, you must bear its weight" as later generations said.

Sour.

The eldest prince also came along. This time he was different from the last time. He could walk with the help of something, and he could clearly call "Daddy" and say words like "put", "want", and "good". Li Beichen was so excited that he immediately rewarded the child and Rou Wanyi, who took care of her.

The five nine-month-olds also attended the table, but they were at the children's table.

The third prince never lost his conspicuous character, and he made a rhythmic and emotional speech about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sometimes he would pinch his elder brother's face, and sometimes he would snatch his younger brother's toys. Anyway, it was impossible not to notice him.

The second prince was playing with his toys attentively. He picked at the objects with his little fingers, bit them, and then threw them on the table.

The fourth prince looked around, smiled foolishly at people, clapped his hands from time to time, screamed, and was happy for no one knew why.

The eldest princess had an oval face and showed the aura of an eldest sister. She pulled the sleeve of the fourth prince and wanted to chat with him.

The little princess has an apple-shaped face, rosy cheeks and watery eyes. She plays quietly with her fingers, chewing them from time to time, as if there is honey on her fingers. After playing for a while, she starts looking for her mother.

"Mom~" Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the little princess.

Although the little princess was the quietest, she was the first to learn to call her mother. She was immediately held in Jiang Yuebai's arms.

That’s the power of language.

The eldest princess was not willing to be outdone, and she also called out "Mom", and was then held in Jiang Yuebai's arms.

The two little ones sat in Jiang Yuebai's arms, pushing each other, squeezing each other, pulling my hair and I pulling your skirt.

Li Beichen quickly took the eldest princess and held her in his arms.

The three little ones were getting anxious. They could only chirp and raise their necks to scream and wail, like three big white geese singing to the sky with their necks bent.

The disadvantage is that I can't speak. It's really infuriating.

Hua Fei and Qing Fei, who were both in confinement after childbirth, came. They were all very beautiful in their gold and silver jewelry.

Concubine Hua is dressed to look sweet and delicate, with bright colors and a head full of gold ornaments; Concubine Qing is dressed to look pure, with plain clothes and a white jade hairpin on her head that is also plain and elegant.

Although they all wore exquisite makeup, the haggard and sallow look on their faces could not be hidden.

Concubine Jin stroked her belly and said with a smile, "Sister Hua, how come you are here when you haven't recovered yet?"

Concubine Hua's eyes fell on Concubine Jin's bulging belly, and then she looked away, "Sister Jin, it's not safe for you to run around after seven months."

Concubine Jin curled her lips and smiled, "Sister, the pregnancy is stable, it's nothing serious."

Hua Fei's expression changed, and she said with a smile, "Then congratulations to my sister first."

Concubine Jin smiled triumphantly.

Jiang Yuebai looked at Li Beichen: You are in charge of your little wife.

Li Beichen said quickly, "You two should take care of yourselves. Especially as the pregnancy progresses."

After saying that, he took a sip of wine and looked at Jiang Yuebai, meaning: Good wife. What do you think of what I said?

Jiang Yuebai curled her lips, raised her glass and toasted Li Beichen in response.

He no longer paid attention to Concubine Hua and Concubine Jin. Instead, he looked at all kinds of beautiful girls.

It's great to be an emperor. You can collect all kinds of women. Even if you can't favor them all, they are still very pleasing to the eye.

"What is the Queen looking at?"

"Sister Rui looks really good today."

"I think the queen is the most beautiful."

Concubine Hua, who was standing by, felt very sad, but she smiled and said, "I also think the Queen is the prettiest. What do you think, Sister Jin?"

Everyone looked at Concubine Jin. She held her chin up like an innocent child and said, "I think all the sisters are pretty. They are good in their own way. It's hard to compare them."

That's a beautiful thing to say.

Jiang Yuebai smiled and said to Li Beichen, "Your Majesty, now you know what I am looking at, right? I was just mesmerized by the beauty of my sisters, and I sigh that Your Majesty is so blessed, and the Ming Dynasty is so blessed."

Li Beichen raised his glass: "It is a blessing to have such a great event, and it should be made public. Let's all have a drink."

Everyone smiled and drank it approvingly.

"Queen, with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for. Queen, I offer you a glass of wine." Li Beichen picked up the wine pot and filled Jiang Yuebai with wine.

Jiang Yuebai smiled, like a spring breeze blowing on a willow tree, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor and empress seemed particularly affectionate.

Rui Zhaoyi sighed, "What a loving couple."

Lu Jieyu, who was sitting next to her, said, "Who said it wasn't true?"

Rui Zhaoyi frowned slightly, "Then why do you all say that sweet stories are not good and you want to read sad stories instead?"

Concubine Lu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I can find a reason to cry." Li Beichen heard what the two said and said, "Come, give a pot of wine to Concubine Lu and Concubine Rui, two talented ladies."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," they said in unison. Anyway, they were not pregnant. They drank slowly.

Li Beichen gave Xuan Liangyuan another plate of beef and asked her to eat it slowly.

Hua Fei looked uncomfortable, her heart ached, and her body felt even more uncomfortable.

Concubine Jin deliberately asked, "Sister Hua, you don't look well, why don't you rest for a few more days?"

Hua Fei forced a smile, "It's nothing. I just feel a little dizzy after drinking. Your Majesty, can you accompany me for a walk?"

"Okay. Queen, you're just in time to come along."

Hua Fei opened her eyes wide and looked at the emperor in disbelief. Why did he bring her along? She had originally wanted to go out and perform some tricks under the moonlight. How could she do that with the queen here?

"Your Majesty, please go and accompany Concubine Hua to have some drinks outside. I, your concubine, and Concubine Lu will go to see Concubine Nian. I think she will start the attack in the next two days."

Li Beichen was slightly stunned. It seemed that Jiang Yuebai really didn't want him to go with her.

He ordered Liang Xiaobao to find two guards to follow Jiang Yuebai and protect her.

When Concubine Hua saw how Li Beichen cared so much about the Queen, she felt even more jealous.

She stood up and took Li Beichen's hand, "Your Majesty~"

Jiang Yuebai calmly watched Concubine Hua leave with Li Beichen's hand, and ordered someone to prepare a few mild and nourishing dishes and send them over to Concubine Lu.

As they walked along the road, Concubine Lu couldn't help but ask, "Two people like each other, why do they have to quarrel with each other?"

Jiang Yuebai pretended not to understand and asked Lu Jieyu, "Do you have someone you like? If so, you will understand why."

Concubine Lu was stunned for a moment, then laughed unnaturally, "I like the Queen."

Jiang Yuebai looked up at the round bright moon and said meaningfully, "The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions. The moon is not full very often."

Concubine Lu smiled and said the next sentence, "But I wish you a long life, so that we can share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands of miles apart."

Li Beichen took Hua Fei to the small garden, and the two of them strolled under the moon, which was so romantic. Everyone in the room envied Hua Fei's boldness and her confidence.

When they reached a secluded place, Concubine Hua took the opportunity to lean on Li Beichen's arms and wanted to kiss Li Beichen's lips.

Li Beichen pushed Hua Fei away in an instant, bent over and vomited all over the floor.

Hua Fei fell to the ground. She sat on the cold ground in panic and struggled to get up. Liang Xiaobao, who followed her, helped her up.

"Your Majesty, I have sent someone to get sobering tea. Please drink some water and rinse your mouth first." Liang Xiaobao took out a kettle and handed it to the emperor.

"Okay." Li Beichen sat on a stone bench nearby with the help of Liang Xiaobao.

"Hua Fei is weak, please send someone to send her back first. I will sit here for a while."

"I will stay here to take care of you."

"It's windy outside, and you're weak. When you're better, I'll come to see you again. Be obedient."

Although Concubine Hua was reluctant, she had no choice but to look back every three steps.

Li Beichen looked at the moon, so round and so bright, but you are not by my side.

When Liang Xiaobao brought the sobering tea over, Li Beichen told Liang Xiaobao to call Rui Zhaoyi and bring a pot of wine.

Rui Zhaoyi was about to go home to wash up and sleep. On the way, she was caught by the eunuch and put on the sedan chair, saying that the emperor was looking for her. He left Qingpin and Zhou Xuanshi, who were from the same palace, behind in confusion.

Wasn't it Consort Hua who was serving her? Why did she call Consort Rui again? Was she going to play Landlord? Or was she running fast?

After Rui Zhaoyi arrived, Li Beichen asked her to sit next to him and asked her, "Rui Zhaoyi, you have written so many storybooks. I want to ask you, how can two people reconcile and return to the way they were in the past?"

Rui Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment. She knew in her heart that the emperor was asking about the relationship between him and the empress. She lowered her eyes and said, "Nothing in the storybook counts."

"If you were writing, you wanted to write a happy ending. How would you write the middle part?"

Rui Zhaoyi thought it was just a discussion of the plot. She couldn't imagine that her world was a storybook.

She said hesitantly, "I will, I will give them a chance to resolve their past grievances."

"For example?" Li Beichen wanted to know the routines of female authors.

"Be good to her in every way possible, and be there for her when she needs you most. Always choose her over anyone else. It would be best if there is also a passionate man who loves that woman."

"The second male lead?"

"Yes." Rui Zhaoyi nodded cherishingly. "Many times, only when you meet another person will you feel that he is irreplaceable. Only then can the heroine suddenly realize that she loves the hero the most. It would be best if the hero is seriously ill or in a major crisis at this time. The heroine will risk her life, and the two of them will be able to successfully reunite. Of course, they must love each other and be infatuated with each other."

Rui Zhaoyi looked up at the moon and said, "If I wasn't infatuated, the mirror would be broken."

At this moment, her heart was broken.

She couldn't help but hold Li Beichen's hand, "Your Majesty, I am very worried about you."

I like you.
