The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 75
"No, it's not." Ye Anran immediately explained.

After a while, Butler Xu took some more bright materials and sent them to Chunxiao Pavilion. Xiao Rong was very happy to take those people back to Chunxiao Pavilion to arrange everything.

"In a while, you will go to the palace with me. The emperor ordered the two of us to enter the palace for a banquet. Concubine Ning is pregnant. The queen mother is very happy and wants to hold a celebration banquet for Concubine Ning. I will wait for you in the carriage. You pack up and come up." After speaking, Xi Gongjue turned around and strode out of the palace.Didn't wait for Ye Anran to say yes.

But if you think about it, since it is the emperor's oral order, you can't go against it at all, and you don't need to say whether it's okay or not, you can go or not.

Ye Anran suddenly discovered that since she came to Bianjing, she and her sister seem to have had many things beyond their control.

It is said that the first rank of officials crushes people to death. This is true. At the feet of the emperor, the emperor can toss you with a word of mouth.

Ye Anran didn't have anything to clean up, she just followed Xi Gongjue's footsteps out of the palace and got into the carriage.

Xiangyi said with a little jealousy: "Oh, women with high status are different. No matter whether the Lord dotes on her or not, she is still a princess. Such a big event requires someone to stand out, and we women are just shameless people. It’s just a bed warmer.”

Song Siyan didn't take it seriously, and smiled sarcastically: "It's not right for you to say these things. Are you saying that you are a bed warmer? Don't get involved with us. You must know that our Song family has been officials for generations, and Sima Qingqian The family is also from a famous family, but you, a brothel, can't get on the table."

Sure enough, when talking about her background, Xiangyi immediately changed her face and walked away...

Sima Qingqian didn't answer the words either, but turned around and went back to Qingqian Garden.

Limbo Palace

Xi Gongjue walked in with Ye Anran and knelt down to salute slowly: "Greetings to the emperor, greetings to the empress dowager, greetings to the empress dowager."

According to the ancestral precepts, when the prince and his family go to the palace for a banquet, they only need to pay respects to the emperor, queen and queen mother. After all, there are too many concubines in the palace, and it would be impossible to salute one by one.

"Let's get down, come, and give seats to King Rui'an and his wife." After the emperor ordered, the little eunuch immediately moved two round cushions, and Ye Anran and Xi Gongjue sat down one after another. Ye Anran raised his head and saw King Huai on the opposite side, so he smiled. With a smile, King Huai also smiled back.

Seeing this, Xi Gongjue didn't take it seriously, and turned his head to gossiping with the emperor.

All the concubines with relatively high status in the harem participated in this family banquet. Except for Princess Xigongyue, King Huai and King Heng were all present. Although it was not a grand banquet, it was not lacking in lively atmosphere.

Concubine Ning is the most eye-catching today. She is dressed in a red brocade robe, which is as eye-catching as a newlywed. The flying fairy style hair bun perfectly sets off her beauty.

"Your majesty, my concubine would like to toast everyone with a glass of wine, thank you for coming to celebrate our emperor's son, do you think it's okay?" Concubine Ning said delicately.

"Of course, I have no objection." For Concubine Ning, the emperor really dotes on her. Although she is really a bit arrogant sometimes, but because of her feelings for her, the emperor did not severely punish her.

Now that she is lucky and pregnant with a dragon fetus, the weight in the emperor's heart has increased a bit, and she is almost a figure that no one in the harem can shake.

"But there is no wine in the concubine's wine glass, how about asking sister Liu Jieyu to help the concubine fill it up?" Concubine Ning continued to act like a spoiled child to the emperor with a smile on her face.

The emperor was fine, his face was still extremely calm, and he looked at Concubine Ning with deep meaning.

But everyone else present understood what was going on. Concubine Ning is pregnant now. Although she is favored, she can't go to bed anymore. Ye Zhaoyi fell out with the emperor because of the case of the new top scholar a few days ago. To flatter the emperor, Liu Jieyu is currently the emperor's concubine staying the most. Liu Jieyu has been in the palace for more than half a year. Her father is Liu Wanli, the head of the clan's family. Although the official position is not high, the position is somewhat special.

Concubine Ning asked Liu Jieyu to pour the wine herself, no doubt she was deliberately embarrassing Liu Jieyu, and also took the opportunity to hurt her morale, telling her euphemistically that although she is now blessed by the emperor, she is not one ten thousandth as good as herself.

Ye Anran raised her head to look at Liu Jieyu, and found that she was not very old, and her appearance was not perfect, but only above average. It seemed that the emperor favored her because of her good luck, but unfortunately, now she was provoked by Concubine Ning .

"Your Majesty...?" Liu Jieyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. She has become more and more arrogant in the past few days after being favored. She doesn't pay attention to Ye Anyao and Wang Yu at all. Even when she greets Empress Shen, she sometimes procrastinates Well, she thought her good day had come, but she didn't expect that Concubine Ning would publicly insult herself today, so she showed a look of resentment for a while, and she looked at the emperor, hoping that the emperor could speak for herself.

It's a pity that the emperor turned a blind eye...

At this time, Empress Shen said: "Sister Concubine Ning, it's better not to bother Liu Jieyu with such a small matter of pouring wine, just ask the maid to do it."

Concubine Ning picked up her handkerchief and covered her face with a light smile: "Elder sister of the queen doesn't know something. Now that my concubine has a dragon fetus, the imperial doctor said try not to be contaminated by the vulgarity of servants. How can eunuchs and maids be as noble as sister Liu Jieyu?" ? So for the sake of the concubine's children, I'm afraid sister Liu Jieyu will really feel wronged this time."

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone knew that Concubine Ning was simply irrational, and this excuse was too far-fetched, and she was afraid of being tainted with vulgarity by her servants, so she didn't have any servants in Lingbo Palace, but she was determined today It's going to make things difficult for Liu Jieyu.

Empress Shen looked at Liu Jieyu sympathetically, meaning that I have already helped you, but Concubine Ning was too stubborn.

At this time, Liu Jieyu wanted to say something, but the emperor said: "Qian'er, come and pour a drink."

Qian'er is Liu Jieyu's name. Liu Jieyu's real name is Liu Qian'er. Now even the emperor has spoken. Everyone knows that Concubine Ning won this time, and she won thoroughly.

Liu Jieyu stood up with tears in her eyes, walked over slowly, filled the wine glasses for the emperor and Concubine Ning, just about to get up, unexpectedly, Concubine Ning shook her body, and a glass of wine was spilled on Liu Jieyu immediately.

"Oh, what should I do? Just now the emperor kicked the concubine in the stomach. The concubine panicked and spilled all the wine. Sister Liu Jieyu, please do it again." Concubine Ning smiled. He looked at Liu Jieyu and said.

Liu Jieyu swallowed her anger, picked up the wine glass, filled up the wine for Concubine Ning again, and then left...Everyone could see clearly, even Ye Anran couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Liu Jieyu.

Ye Anyao didn't say a word, just sneered, thinking, Ning Lingshan, just keep pretending, the child is not yet three months old, how could he kick you, isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?But there is no way, who said that he is now a hero, a hero of the Nishinomiya royal family.

The queen mother cleared her throat and said: "Concubine Ning's pregnancy is a happy event. Now that the emperor is young and has no heirs, you all have to work hard. The queen, especially you, as the mother of the country, you must have more children for the royal family, you know?" ?”

"The concubine would like to obey the Queen Mother's order." Empress Shen said in a low voice.

At this time, Empress Shen's eyes lit up, she pointed at Ye Anran and said, "Princess Rui'an's clothes are so beautiful, this style seems to be a new style, this is the first time I have seen it, where did you cut it, can you tell me?"

Empress Shen's words drew everyone's eyes back from Concubine Ning to Ye Anran who was dressed in green sable hair.

Ye Anran immediately stood up and replied: "As for the empress, this dress was remade by the concubine herself. The concubine is not talented, so I changed the style of the clothes rashly, and I ask the empress to punish me."

"Hmph, all the clothes styles of the West Palace royal family are left by the ancestors. Princess Rui'an, you are indeed guilty of making such changes." Concubine Ning hated Ye Anran because she didn't like Ye Anyao. Seeing an opportunity, she immediately attacked stand up.

Unexpectedly, Empress Shen smiled lightly: "Sister Concubine Ning is serious. Although our ancestors have left us with traditional styles, we can't stop being ingenious. Clothes are only worn for the sake of looking good. It’s pretty, why can’t we imitate it, don’t you think so, Queen Mother?”

Empress Shen was very smart, so she threw the words to the queen mother. The queen mother looked at her and nodded: "Well, the queen is right. We respect the ancestral system, but we also encourage the emergence of new tricks. Look at me, Princess Rui'an This suit is pretty good, it looks like a special flavor."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, for the compliment, and my wife is terrified." Ye Anran was always a little uneasy, she didn't want to be praised, but just to not cause trouble.

At this moment, Ye Anyao smiled and said: "That's natural. My sister was an all-rounder when she was in Yangzhou. This garment making is just a trivial matter for her. She has many advantages. Therefore, I want to say, King Rui'an is lucky to be able to marry such a good woman as An Ran."

The emperor chuckled and agreed: "What An Yao said is correct, but my younger brother is not an ordinary person, Princess Rui'an and his wife are both talented and beautiful, so I can be considered a happy marriage, right?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage. I am very grateful." Hearing what the Emperor said, Xi Gongjue immediately expressed his thanks.

"Oh, it turns out that Princess Rui'an is so talented. The style of this suit is really good. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Your Majesty, I also want a set." Concubine Ning is not afraid of anything now, as long as she sees something. Something, she wanted it right away, and she knew that the emperor would definitely satisfy her.

The emperor hugged Concubine Ning dotingly and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll let the Garment Bureau make a set for you in the style of Princess Rui'an later."

"But the concubine wants Princess Rui'an to do it. Didn't Ye Zhaoyi say that just now? Princess Rui'an is ingenious, so the concubine wants to see her." Concubine Ning pouted and began to act coquettishly.

Now, the emperor is in a bit of a dilemma... He turned his head to look at Ye Anran, who was sitting down, with a normal expression, but it was really unreasonable to ask her to make clothes for Concubine Ning.

"Sister Concubine Ning, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. It's okay if you instigate sister Liu Jieyu. After all, sister Liu Jieyu is from my own family and they are all sisters who serve the emperor, but Princess Rui'an is the treasure in King Rui'an's heart. How can you do this?" Didn't you do it on purpose to embarrass King Rui'an?" After finishing speaking, Empress Shen looked at Xi Gongjue meaningfully.
