The favorite wife of the black-bellied prime minister

Chapter 322 Starting a Big Event (2)
When Emperor Jing Yuan mentioned this, naturally no one dared to object. Everyone present responded in unison, but Empress Situ said: "Daxing has just experienced the disaster of the Turks. Your Majesty should think about the society. This year's birthday banquet should be kept simple."

As soon as Queen Situ said this, the hall fell silent.Empress Situ was the only one who dared to pour cold water on Emperor Jing Yuan's happiness.

"The concubine does not agree with what the queen said." Concubine Li looked at the direction of Queen Situ, and said, "The queen is really considerate for the sake of the country, but I am prosperous and vast. Is it a waste of time to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday? Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people, why can’t the people fully respect His Majesty’s wishes? Daxing’s surname is Baili after all.”

Concubine Li fought so blatantly with Empress Situ that all the concubines in the palace watched silently.

Empress Situ didn't even glance at Concubine Li, and said with a sneer, "The concubine is wronging the country."

"You..." Concubine Li's beautiful eyes are wide open, but the queen is the queen after all, Situ Shan is the mother of the country, and concubine Li is just a concubine after all, no different from the lowly concubines of ordinary people.Only the queen speaks out to reprimand the concubine, if the concubine dares to be rude to the queen openly, it is tantamount to insulting the majesty.

"Okay." Emperor Jing Yuan frowned, sighed, and said, "Don't argue." He turned his head to look at Empress Situ's cold face, and said, "What the empress said is reasonable, and the birthday banquet should be kept simple. I am sympathetic to the hearts of the people. However, the congratulatory gifts I mentioned just now cannot be spared, and I do not ask you to send any rare treasures, as long as you are willing. Does my princess still need a small birthday gift? The queen thinks how?"

He gave Empress Situ face in this way, although his words were mixed with unquestionable, but also slightly negotiating tone, although Empress Situ's face was still cold and unsmiling, she nodded and said: "Everything is up to the Holy Majesty."

After hearing this, Emperor Jing Yuan smiled, then patted Concubine Li's hand, and said with a smile, "I understand Concubine Ai's heart."

With such tenderness and sweetness, Concubine Li immediately showed a smile: "Your Majesty..." The voice was soft and charming, and a pair of beautiful eyes glanced at Queen Situ with a little complacency.

Empress Situ was cold and indifferent, she didn't care about Emperor Jing Yuan's soft words and Concubine Li's intentional or unintentional demonstrations. Her phoenix eyes were lowered, and no one could clearly see the color in her eyes.

The concubines in the harem between the empress and the concubine Li have long been used to it. Those little princes and princesses have been taught since childhood that they dare not make any noise about such scenes.

Mo Wen marveled at his father-in-law's good memory, he even remembered his daughter's birthday so clearly, and even asked someone to prepare a birthday gift for his daughter; at the same time, he curiously explored the relationship between his father-in-law and his mother-in-law , this thread of affection and indifference seems to be the most common among emperors and empresses.

However, all the above did not make Mo Wen feel unacceptable. In fact, compared with his mother-in-law, his mother-in-law was more vicious, and his father was more...

"Father, you are really too difficult for your son..."

Mo Wen was thinking about it, when Baili Luo, who was sitting on the opposite table, smiled and said, "Sister Jing'er has been favored by her father since she was a child, and now she has a son-in-law who is as good as her, and she doesn't need anything at all. How can she satisfy little sister Jing'er?"

Mo Wen thought, this woman Baililuo did not make a sound to prove her existence for a moment, she would never give up, just listening to her voice, Mo Wen felt very irritable, but she still likes to mention the name of his little fool , she deserves to be called by her name!I don't care what happened to Han Ye?If he were Han Ye, he would never let his wife be so noisy... Thinking about it again, cough, it seems that he can't control his little fool...

"Luo'er, although your little sister Jing'er doesn't lack anything, as long as your gift is thoughtful, she will definitely like it. Your father also said just now that you don't need rare treasures, just prepare it with your heart." Concubine Li Laughing, turned to look at Emperor Jing Yuan.

"En." Emperor Jing Yuan nodded and smiled, as if remembering something, raised his brows slightly and said: "I remember that Luo'er just had a miscarriage a few days ago, is he feeling better now?"

Baililuo's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Han Ye and said, "Going back to my father, thanks to the concubine's careful care, Luo'er is in much better health, but I still feel very sad when I think of the child who passed away innocently."

Emperor Jing Yuan also looked at Han Ye and sighed: "Newlyweds are bound to be reckless and impulsive, and miscarriages can happen if you don't pay attention to them. Fortunately, you are still young, so you should be more careful about your next child. Your father-in-law is going to Beijing soon. When we meet for the first time, You also have to prepare well, don't let King Jinyang feel that my daughter has neglected them."

Han Ye hurriedly said: "Father is joking. It is Han Ye's blessing to marry Princess Luo. Father is very pleased that Han Ye can enter the royal family as a concubine. He has always been grateful for his kindness."

The courteous remarks between the monarch and his ministers, father and son, make people unable to tell whether there is any truth or falsehood in them.

Baililuo was provoked by Han Ye's hypocritical words, and the anger in her heart turned into a more coquettish smile. After another round of food and drink, she looked at Mo on the opposite side and asked, "I just thought of a good idea. Also for your reference. Sister Jing'er certainly has everything she needs, but she is a bride for the first time, but she has never been a mother. If you feel that the birthday gift is not easy to prepare, why not start here and give it to the future princess The young master is good at making preparations, and there is nothing wrong with that."

After hearing this, the ladies of the various palaces looked at each other and said with a smile: "Princess Luo is still careful, we didn't expect it."

Because Mo Wen is now a popular person in front of Emperor Jing Yuan, everyone dared not think of profane and ridiculing him anymore, they looked at Mo Wen again, and said with a little smile: "Princess Jing is far away in the frontier, it's hard for Jing's son-in-law to miss him for thousands of miles. "

"When Princess Jing comes back, I only look forward to your good news and add a grandson to His Majesty as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty is approaching the age of [-]. If you can have a grandson, the palace will be much more lively. The concubine must work harder..."

The empresses of each palace said one sentence, Mo Wen just kept smiling, but fortunately there was no need to waste words, smiling faces would never be offensive, he frowned inwardly, what about him and his wife, old women like them is it on?It's really lonely in the harem, and I just want to earn some sense of existence.

"Enough is enough, the good Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet has become a place to gossip!" Empress Situ raised her head coldly, and the audience was silent when she spoke. She stared at Mo Wen and pointed out names. "Mo Wen, you don't know how to talk, so let them talk, and make some restless chatter here, and it's all your fault if it's over!"

When Mo Wen heard what his mother-in-law said, his scalp immediately went numb, and he hurriedly got up and bowed to Empress Situ who was sitting on the phoenix seat.
