Work overtime

Chapter 761

In comparison, Nian Liangyuan, who got pregnant as soon as she was touched, was really rare. After Li Beichen visited her once, he promoted her to Concubine Yuan Xi.

Concubine Yuan Xi was so happy that she thanked him repeatedly.

As the only winner, Rui Zhaoyi was so excited that she could only treat everyone to a meal.

A large table of people were invited to eat hot pot, most of them were from the story studio.

She treated Jiang Yuebai to a meal, and Jiang Yuebai paid the bill. It wasn't that she didn't want to pay, but Jiang Yuebai refused to take her money.

She just couldn't understand why there were people who couldn't get along with money.

Because the chef Nian Jieyu, who loves cooking, is about to give birth and has no energy to prepare special meals for her. But before she came, Nian Jieyu asked her to express her regret for not being able to attend the dinner and her longing for the queen.

She said she brought them all.

The Queen's chefs are really amazing. The food is so delicious that it makes people want to eat three bowls of rice. Jiang Yuebai didn't dare to tell them. The machete used to chop meat had been used to chop off human heads before, and he was afraid that they would vomit all the delicious food they ate.

Because it smelled so good, all five little ones came.

"Mom, I want to eat."

"Mom, I want more."

"Mom, I, I, I."

What was originally a gathering of little sisters turned into a chaotic gathering with children. Eating hot pot with children is really the most frightening thing in the world, and there are no safety seats to tie them down.

Jiang Yuebai suggested that they go to another place for the dinner next time.

Lu Jieyu said that we could go to Taorui Palace. It was very suitable for barbecue. The stoves were ready.

Jiang Yuebai was stunned. That was the stove she had dug. Jinxiu was still there at that time. If she was still there, she must have been pregnant.

Just when she was stunned, Rui Zhaoyi kissed her and said that she must be so lucky because of the Queen's good pregnancy.

Jiang Yuebai felt dizzy for a moment and almost fainted.

The sons were jumping up and down saying, "I want a kiss, too!"

The second princess climbed onto her mother's lap and used a small handkerchief to carefully wipe the lard off her mother's lips. Jiang Yuebai came back to life and gave a piece of shabu-shabu mutton to the little princess as a gift.

"I want meat too!" The sons were pulling her clothes again. Xianyanbao even tried to climb onto her back and let her carry him on her back to eat hot pot.

They didn't dare to do this to their father.

In front of the emperor, they would sit properly, look at him eagerly, and whisper softly, "Father, please."

As obedient as a little lamb.

On March 16th of the fifth year of Jingchang, Concubine Nian went into labor a few days early and gave birth to a little prince weighing 6.5 kilograms in today's terms.

Li Beichen gave the fifth prince the name Li Chengji, nicknamed Xiaowu, and promoted him from Nian Jieyu to Nian Zhaoyi.

After the emperor left, the sisters gathered in Nian Zhaoyi Palace to celebrate by having hotpot.

There was originally a concubine named Qian living in the Jingren Palace where Concubine Nian lived. When she made trouble for the relationship between Concubine Qing and the imperial physician, the emperor gave her poisoned wine.

Later, when Nian Zhaoyi became pregnant, no one else was arranged for her to live alone. During her pregnancy, Li Beichen arranged two guards to guard her day and night, and they were quite dedicated.

This time I had the mushroom soup base, which had a bunch of weird mushrooms thrown in, and it was very delicious.

While eating from the hot pot, they talked about Concubine Hua.

Rui Zhaoyi said, "I heard that Concubine Hua went to ask the imperial physician for help again. I heard that she had her period again. She smashed everything in the palace a few days ago. I wonder if she is angry with me. What do you think? Should I give the chance to sleep with Concubine Hua?"

"It's not the vegetable garden gate. You can give it up if you want." Concubine Lu said. The subject was deliberately omitted. It's all up to the intuition. Concubine Rui said, sighing, "I feel that Concubine Hua is quite pitiful."

Perhaps writers are more delicate and sensitive than ordinary people.

"How can you see how pitiful she is? Why didn't I see that? She is the daughter of Prime Minister Ye. As long as she is healthy, she will be blessed." Yuan Xipin picked up the meat with chopsticks and spoke directly.

Rui Zhaoyi shook her head. "You don't understand. You have to see the essence and trend of things. You have to see more of the joys and sorrows of the world. There is nothing new under the sun. Everything has a traceable path."

"Sister Lu, I didn't understand what Sister Rui was saying." Concubine Yuan Xi looked at Concubine Lu who was sitting aside and concentrating on eating meat.

In her heart, Concubine Lu and Concubine Rui were both great writers, well-read and full of knowledge. As a poor student, she admired them very much.

Lu Jieyu picked up a piece of lotus root and said, "Your sister Rui is saying that you are in great health. You can stand it. Everyone envies you."

Rui Zhaoyi raised her head and asked doubtfully, "Is this what I meant? You misinterpreted me. Your Majesty, is this right?"

Jiang Yuebai smiled and said, "Eat some food!"

Rui Zhaoyi sighed, "Empress, you always pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth. You know the affairs of Concubine Hua best."

Can't you understand?
Concubine Hua had actually exposed the matter of Concubine Wu and demanded an explanation from the emperor. She also shouted that Du Ruo's sudden resignation was evidence. It was as if if she kept it in her stomach, her stomach would rot.

As a result, the Emperor found several magicians to perform a ritual for Concubine Hua, saying that it was a dark and windy night, the lakeside was too gloomy, and Concubine Hua was possessed by evil spirits.

Jiang Yuebai was very curious, "What kind of person is Hua Fei's mother?"

Lu Jieyu thought for a moment and said, "She seems to be a bit too serious and hysterical. Before Ye Xiang became rich, she always scolded her husband for being a loser. If someone did something wrong, she would make sure that person admitted his mistake. People next door are a bit afraid of her."

Concubine Lu's father was a deputy minister of the Ministry of Rites, and her family lived in the same villa area as Concubine Hua's family. After spending a long time together, they basically knew what each family was like.

Rui Zhaoyi nodded, "No wonder. No wonder the rumor goes that the family favors the concubine over the wife. I guess even though she is the legitimate daughter, she is not living a comfortable life, and she might even be suppressed by the concubine's daughter."

Her father was a doctor in the Taichang Temple, so he knew some gossip. But she didn't live in the same villa area as Concubine Lu, so she could only "hear" about it.

Jiang Yuebai was curious: "How did you figure that out?"

She had never met Ye Suhua before. How could she know that Ye Suhua was arrogant?

Rui Zhaoyi: "Art comes from life! I am a master of storytelling, so this little bit of reasoning is a piece of cake for me. How can I write storytelling if I can't empathize with the characters and figure out their psychology, right? This is a skill that I need to make a living..."

Lu Jieyu: "Isn't your ability to eat a lot due to your big stomach?"

Rui Zhaoyi looked at her belly which looked like it was four months pregnant after only two months and said angrily, "Forget it, I won't update today."

Lu Jieyu quickly put down her chopsticks and shook her arms, which were as white and round as lotus roots, "I was wrong, I was wrong. You are a great storyteller, you can empathize with me. You are really good at eating."

"That's about right." Rui Jieyu glanced at Jiang Yuebai and put a piece of meat in the pot. "From what I've observed, the Queen's family is very happy. Concubine Yuan Xi's family should not be bad either."

Yuan Xipin asked immediately, becoming interested, "How did you observe this? Sister, please teach me."

She has always been rather careless and sloppy, not being able to observe the subtleties of human nature.

"Well, I can't tell you. I just learned it through observation." Rui Zhaoyi thought for a while, "You can see the difference between Concubine Hua and the Empress if you observe them more."

Concubine Lu burst out laughing. "You are just talking nonsense. Sister Yuan is just asking how you observe."

Rui Zhaoyi thought for a moment and said, "This is a difficult question to answer. But one thing can tell. Whether one is neither humble nor overbearing. This requires one to slowly experience it for oneself."

Lu Jieyu immediately put the meat slices dipped in sauce on Rui Zhaoyi's plate, "Great God, I admire you so much."

"It's just so-so." Rui Zhaoyi looked at Concubine Yuan Xi, "So, when raising a child, you must be calm and don't lose your temper. Otherwise, the child will be scared and will learn from him."

Jiang Yuebai asked with great interest, "Look, my five little ones all have the same father and mother, but why are their personalities so different? The third prince is as proud as a little white goose all day long, always trying to attract attention. The little princess is as quiet as a little white rabbit, and only wants to eat her own grass."
