Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 167
Palace banquet on New Year's Eve.

Counting it, it was Ye Yun's second year in the palace.

It's easier today, just go to the banquet at night, thinking about going to the Taimiao early in the morning, that's the real punishment.

But now her status is a little higher, and she is favored, and she thinks she is better than last year.

At least the kneeling position should be more inward.

"What kind of clothes does Jieyu wear today? Why don't you dress up for the New Year?" Huiyue said.

Ye Yun thought for a while, then nodded, "Then show me all the red ones."

Huiyue responded, and ordered the little maids to pick out all the clothes, lined up for her to choose.

I knew before that I have a lot of clothes, but there are ten red ones alone, which is still surprising.

But it's nothing, that is, there are more people than others in the palace. Before leaving the cabinet, unless Ye Yun mentioned which one to wear again, the clothes on her body were almost the same throughout the year.

Just such a daughter, the Chu family loves her dearly.

After dressing up, I deliberately ate something before going to Qionghua Palace.

On the way, I ran into Xia Meiren, and the two left together.

When he arrived at the place, Ye Yun's eyes scanned the family members of the minister opposite.

Sure enough, brother Ye Zhe, mother, and aunt Yang were all there.

The whole family made eye contact with each other before they sat down.

Not long after, the emperor, empress and queen mother came together.

The husband and wife supported the queen mother a little on the left and right sides, looking very harmonious and warm.

But if you look closely, you can find that the Empress Dowager's smile is very stiff, and she really didn't even put her heart into it.

Followed by Yang Wanrong.

She has just confinement now, and she is optimistic about the day when she moves out of Fengqi Palace on the eighth day of the lunar new year, and she is still with the queen for now.

Yang shi was born beautiful, but she seemed to be a little plump after giving birth, but it was even more charming.

"Dear dear friends, this year, I was assassinated on my northern patrol and suffered from a plague. Fortunately, God blessed me and passed it safely. Now that it is the end of the year, I only hope that the coming year will be smooth and everything will go smoothly. Dear dear friends, join me Drink this cup, and may the country and the people be safe in the south!"

Ning Chen raised his glass loudly.

Everyone below responded.

After drinking this glass of wine, the banquet has officially begun.

The queen is naturally the first to toast.

She was wearing a serious queen's auspicious dress today, which looked very heavy.

The gilded phoenix crown on the head like a tree branch feels like it can overwhelm people.

It was only when she first entered the palace that she wore the auspicious clothes from the sixth-rank Wanrong, Ye Yun felt that she could crush people to death, and now she really admired the queen.

A pregnant woman can actually hold on.

This palace banquet will not be completely over in less than two hours.

Next, the empresses and concubines toasted the emperor one by one according to their positions.

Concubine Shu was the first. After she finished her toast, the eldest princess toasted with tea instead of wine.

After all, he is one year older, and he is more disciplined than last year.

The childish voice said a few auspicious words, which also put Ning Chen in a good mood.

It's just that in contrast, the eldest prince, who was sickly one year old and hugged by his wet nurse, seemed even more listless.

But the eldest prince can speak now, although he doesn't speak many words, he can still greet him.

"Concubine Wen De bothered, it's rare that the First Prince can speak." The Empress Dowager said suddenly.

That's not a nice word to say.

Shouldn't a one-year-old child be able to speak?
Not to mention the tone of the queen mother when she said this, it is really hard to describe.

Seeing that Ning Chen's complexion had darkened, the queen hurriedly smoothed things over, "No, the eldest prince is weaker, and it's because of sister Wen's dedication, a loving mother always pays off."

"Let's raise the child well first. It's uncertain whether this kindness will be reciprocated."

When she said this, the Empress Dowager paused intentionally, her tone was even more emphatic, and she glanced at Ning Chen indiscriminately.

The queen's heart turned cold, she knew that she had elicited something that shouldn't be said, and immediately became embarrassed.

"There is an old saying that the mother is kind and the son is filial. Since the mother is kind, only the son will be filial. The empress dowager does not have to worry about it. If she thinks that the concubine's kindness will move the heavens, she will protect the eldest prince to grow up safely and enjoy the joy of filial piety in the future. .”

Ye Yun sat at the bottom and spoke with a smile.

Anyone with a little brain knows whether it is Concubine Wen De or the Emperor who is defending what is said inside and outside.

The queen mother will not fail to understand the meaning.

With a cold snort, he put down the wine glass in his hand heavily, "Where did Ming Jieyu learn all the palace rules? Aijia and the queen interrupted indiscriminately!"

Being reprimanded openly, Ye Yun was able to hold on, but the Ye family sitting opposite was nervous.

Even Ye Zhe squeezed his wine glass tightly, his eyes darkened a little.

"Mother, don't argue with her. Ming Jieyu has always been outspoken and outspoken. I gave her this title because I like her bright and lively."

While everyone was watching, they suddenly heard the man on the main seat speak.

Ning Chen looked up at Ye Yun, and smiled at her comfortingly.

Such obvious favoritism surprised everyone present.

However, Ye Yun knew in his heart that there was indeed such favor, but there was a bit of the queen mother's reason for this.

The queen mother blatantly mocked Ning Chen for being unfilial, which no emperor would tolerate.

"The concubine is happy, thank the emperor for forgiveness, and also apologize to the empress dowager."

Ye Yun was unambiguous, bowed his head when he should, and immediately got up to salute.

Even the emperor didn't care about it, and even took sides, not to mention that Ye Yun didn't say anything wrong at all, if the Queen Mother didn't like it, she could only let it go.

He waved his hand unhappily to signal her to sit down.

After sitting down, Ye Yun found that Ning Chen was still looking at her, so he raised his wine glass to toast.

Ning Chen also smiled in a good mood, and paid her back.

This kind of interaction is a sign of grace in the eyes of everyone.

All of a sudden, more people chatted with Chu and Yang.

The queen's heart was sour, which caused her stomach to feel a little uncomfortable. She drank two sips of hot milk before she got better.

Looking at the young and beautiful Ye Yun, she narrowed her eyes to hide her cold look.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere on the field finally became a little warmer.

It was at this moment that the Queen took advantage of the situation and mentioned something.

"Yi Jieyu is also more than six months pregnant."

"It's been six and a half months since I returned to your mother." Yi Jieyu held her stomach and smiled slightly.

The queen nodded and said softly, "It's rare for you to be able to take care of yourself after being wronged like that. Ben Gong watched Yang Wanrong conceive and give birth to a child, and now she is also pregnant, so I know how hard it is."

"The child in the concubine's belly is not as honorable as the empress. The empress is busy with trivial matters every day, so she must not get tired. The one in your belly is Nanqi's direct prince." Yi Jieyu said.

Although she didn't quite understand what the queen wanted to do, she was still on guard when it was mentioned suddenly.

Keeping her posture very low, she was afraid that the queen would not like her and wanted to do something.

But to her surprise, the Queen's next words were addressed to the Emperor.

"Yi Jieyu had a miscarriage before, and this pregnancy is not stable. The concubine thought, why not give her a promotion on New Year's Eve, it's a good sign to get rid of the old and welcome the new."
