My emperor loves thin waist

Chapter 177

Although it was a small family banquet, Concubine Yan Gui and Concubine Xu Shu put all their efforts into organizing it, and put aside their usual grievances for the time being.After all, it is obvious that the emperor attaches great importance to Qian Wang and his wife. No matter how much they hate each other, they also know that if something goes wrong at the banquet, they must not be alone.

Since Su Qinwan had promised the emperor that she would arrive early, she would naturally do so, and dressed herself up early in the morning.Today Liu Shuang personally put on the makeup for her. The elegant makeup concealed a lot of the charm of her eyebrows and eyes. Coupled with the sky blue palace dress, it made her look a little older than her actual age.

Liu Shuang's meaning is very clear. On such an occasion, it is really not suitable to show off.Besides, the empress's favor has already aroused the resentment of the people in the palace, if she offends Princess Qian, it will be extremely disadvantageous, so it's better to follow the rules.

Su Qinwan looked at the makeup carefully in front of the bronze mirror, and couldn't help nodding with satisfaction.As expected, Liu Shuang was an old man in the palace, and she was always more accurate than Zhichan and the others.She is just a concubine, and not the main queen, so there is really no need to attract people's attention at the palace banquet where the royal elders gather. It is best to be honest and responsible.

The most eye-catching person at the palace banquet was neither Princess Qian, who was showing her face in front of everyone for the first time, nor any of the concubines in the palace, but Princess Jing Yang Tingrou, who had just been diagnosed with a happy pulse.

Su Qinwan couldn't help but cast her eyes on Yang Tingrou curiously. In fact, she wanted to see what happened to her pregnant belly. Unfortunately, Yang Tingrou was sitting behind the banquet table and couldn't see clearly.

With some regrets, he looked away and landed on Princess Qian who was asking Yang Tingrou with tenderness and concern. Seeing that she was as Zhao Hongyou said, she was a woman who was easy to get close to, and her face was kind and loving. Look He is a generous elder.

Taking the opportunity of lowering his head to drink tea, he secretly looked at King Qian on the other side. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of the emperor. He really deserved to be his uncle. I don’t know if the emperor will look like him when he grows old. .

She couldn't help thinking secretly.

Anyone who is interested has already read it, she lowered her head a little bored, and began to drink tea seriously.

"This is Biluochun, which was paid tribute to the south last year. It tastes fresh, mellow and sweet, and the fragrance is striking. Does the empress like it too?" A soft voice sounded beside her, and Su Qinwan turned her head to look at it. to myself.

She was a little stunned, but she didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to talk to her, but she didn't feel bad for this quiet woman, so she smiled back at her, "I can't say whether I like it or not, but I think it tastes good after drinking it. Yes, I have never had a particular preference for tea."

The seats at the palace banquet were arranged according to their positions. Su Qinwan's first seat was Jian Shuyi from Fanghua Palace, and the next one was Concubine Fang. Because Jian Shuyi was unwell and could not attend, her seat was left vacant.

"My concubine likes the lingering aftertaste of Biluochun, which is fragrant yet elegant." Fang's concubine smiled lightly on her lips.

Su Qinwan was about to speak again, but heard the eunuch singing, "The concubine is here!"

The people in the hall who were chatting in low voices couldn't help but look towards the door of the hall. Sure enough, Concubine Yu, who was dressed solemnly but still gentle, was walking in through the threshold with a smile on her lips.

The crisp sound of 'Kang Dang' attracted everyone's attention, and Su Qinwan also followed the prestige to look. It turned out that it was Princess Qian who accidentally knocked over the wine glass.But after a while, a maid came forward to tidy it up quickly, and replaced it with a new wine glass.

"Sorry, I'm sorry!" Princess Qian smiled at everyone apologetically, then smiled and shook her head at her husband looking at her with concern, indicating that it's okay.

Zhao Hongyou looked at her quite unexpectedly, then looked at Concubine Yu calmly, frowning slightly.

The imperial aunt has always acted prudently and properly, such a gaffe is indeed a bit unusual... She glanced at Taifei Yu who was proud of her daughter-in-law's pregnancy.

Aunt Huang followed Uncle Huang to Daming Mountain in the first year of Yongde, and she didn't return to the capital until today.However, Concubine Yu entered the palace in Yongde three years ago. According to common sense, the two probably never met each other.Did the two know each other before that?But looking at Concubine Yu's expression, she didn't look like someone who knew the emperor's aunt.

He had doubts in his heart, so his eyes unconsciously glanced back and forth between Princess Qian and Concubine Yu. Seeing Concubine Yu wholeheartedly taking care of her daughter-in-law, and occasionally saying a few polite words to Princess Qian, her expression was normal.Concubine Qian, on the other hand, would always look at her from time to time, and occasionally she would be a little absent-minded.

It seems that the imperial aunt recognizes Concubine Yu, but Concubine Yu may not recognize her!He has a conclusion in his mind.

It's just that the imperial aunt and the queen mother were sisters who had a very good personal relationship before they married into the royal family. If the emperor's aunt recognized Concubine Yu, maybe the queen mother had heard about it from her. What did you learn from the emperor's aunt?
Zhao Hongyou thought secretly, but he became more and more confused.

"You'er!" King Qian's sudden call brought him back to his senses.

"Uncle Huang!" He quickly put away these messy thoughts.

"Jin'er will be a father, and You'er has to hurry up, so that Uncle Huang can hold his grandnephew again." King Qian glanced at his wife, Concubine Yu and Zhao Hongyou each indiscriminately. kindly.

Zhao Hongyou subconsciously looked at Su Qinwan who lowered his head and seemed to be seriously looking at the meals on the banquet table, but quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.However, his actions could not be hidden from King Qian who was sitting closest to him and was looking straight at him waiting for his reply.

King Qian brought the teacup to his lips, looked at Su Qinwan from a distance, but only saw half of her head, and then squinted at Zhao Hongyou who was beside him, a happy smile burst into his lips.

"I don't know where the concubine's ancestral home is?" Zhao Hongyou was about to answer, but was stopped by Princess Qian's sudden question.

"My ancestral home is Yunzhou, why does the princess ask this question?" Dowager Yu put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth and said.

"No, I just saw that the empress dowager has a kind face, so it's rather abrupt to ask." Princess Qian smiled apologetically.

Concubine Yu gave her a strange look, and soon she smiled and said, "This is also because of the predestined relationship between my palace and the princess, which makes the princess feel kind."

"Yes, yes, that's true!" Princess Qian nodded repeatedly, but Zhao Hongyou always felt that her smile was a bit forced.

Good face?Concubine Yu looks similar to someone she knows, which makes her lose her composure repeatedly?He thought to himself.
