It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 498

The more Wanfu thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh. He felt that Wang Sike, the eunuch of the Shangyi Bureau, was really flattering.It's impossible, and it's not necessary. Their status is real, and they don't need to suppress the queen to show off.

Doing this not only showed humility and decentness in front of the emperor, but also kept the queen's face, and made the queen owe her a favor. After hearing this, other concubines would also say that concubine Zhen was sensible, which really killed two birds with one stone.

When eating at night, after all, it’s the New Year’s Eve dinner, and it’s much more popular than usual. The fish the emperor likes to eat, the beef that the eldest prince likes to eat, and the steamed minced meat for the second prince. 81 dishes, this day because of the New Year's Eve, naturally need to pay attention to ostentation, so Qian Xiyao didn't stop it, save when it should be saved, but sometimes it can't be too bad.

The emperor had just returned from the empress dowager's side, and originally wanted to eat with the empress dowager, but the empress dowager was obviously injured by the emperor's servants last time, so she disagreed with life and death, and the emperor finally reluctantly returned to Lingxi Palace to have dinner with his family.

The name of the dishes in the dining room is also for auspiciousness. There are fish every year, and the weather is good. Finally, they made a plate of hand-grained rice, calling it a harvest of five grains. , and while he was happy, rewarded everyone in Lingxi Palace with 20 taels of silver, which made everyone beaming.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Qian Xiyao asked Li Liang to bring over the prepared firecrackers, and said to the First Prince, "When I was at home, most of the firecrackers were going to be set off. go play."

The eldest prince couldn't help being overjoyed, and happily followed Li Liang, but after a while, the sound of firecrackers and dazzling fireworks could be heard from the yard, and the crisp laughter of the eldest prince could be heard from time to time. Qian Xiyao was sitting by the window While dealing with the second prince who was trying to learn how to crawl on the kang, he looked out and said to the emperor, "Children should smile more."

The emperor was eating peanuts one after another. Seeing the second prince drooling, he crawled towards the peanut enthusiastically. With a loving smile on his face, he patted the second prince's head encouragingly. Hearing this He said helplessly, "You dote on that child too much." The emperor has always had reservations about the eldest prince. In fact, Qian Xiyao also understands that it is not his own child, so the queen mother put him in the eldest prince forcibly. In the position, and because of various secrets, I have to admit that no one would like it, right?
In the past, Qian Xiyao would definitely ask about the child's life experience, but now she doesn't want to ask, either it is the emperor's own birth, she is not jealous at all, well, she said, "You should call your majesty Father... the child himself I haven't made any mistakes, so who can choose their own background? As long as my heart is not crooked, I want to take good care of it, and I can always be a companion for Xuan Yi in the future."

The emperor seemed to be quite moved. He heard the sentence "who can choose his own origin, and he unconsciously remembered that the first emperor tried his best to make him the crown prince against all opinions. The first emperor walked side by side with him and looked at him wearing a black crown prince." Dressed in court clothes, with a face like a crown of jade, and a graceful posture, he said with relief and regret, if only you were my prince.

He left Yandi when he was young, and he had long forgotten King Yan's kindness. Instead, he was taken care of by the late emperor. The late emperor taught him to write, archery and horseback riding. Yousheng's own father was no exaggeration. Hearing these words at that time was also sour, thinking How good would it be if he were really the late emperor's child?
