Chapter 199: Reception Banquet(1/2)
When we returned to Beijing from the northwest, the road turned out to be much easier. Many cement roads had been built, and carriages running on them were much faster than on dirt roads.
Song Qingyue was still surprised at how efficient it was, but she didn't know that these roads were built by the victims of the disaster last year.
Her father, her eldest brother, her second brother, and the staff of the Song Dynasty went back and forth to the disaster area many times. They stayed up many nights, added and revised many times, and finally completed a "Work Relief" with ten chapters and more than 400 items.
"Jianzhang", also known as sop in the previous life.
With standardized processes and experience, it can be quickly promoted.
Local officials also received this "Work Relief Brochure". The refugees who were affected by the disaster were no longer the feared gods of plague, but became construction teams welcomed by all places. These refugee construction teams were willing to work and paid the price.
Low cost can not only help build roads and canals, but also save people everywhere from the pain of corvee work.
On the first day of June, Li Zhao and his party returned to the palace.
At the reception banquet that day, Li Zhao knew that he had another eighth brother.
Ye Meiren, who was pregnant last year, gave birth to her son in February this year. After his son was born, the prince promoted him to a higher position, and now it is Ye Dianyi.
Now there are eight brothers and four sisters in the palace.
The other princes were all jealous of their third brother. He gave birth to so many sons and had to support them all. What kind of incredible luck!
But the women in the palace don't see it that way, so what's the use of having so many sons? Anyway, the only eldest son that the prince cares about is Li Zhao. The second son, Li Yi, barely pays attention to it. The rest of the sons are just like picked up ones.
Indifferent.
As for Song Qingyue, she suddenly had two more "sisters".
First, he drank the tea that Princess Yunying reluctantly brought over, and then listened to King Su discuss with Li Zhao the preparations to bring Ning Yueyao into the palace.
It's really amazing, two concubines suddenly appeared.
without any precautions……
When Li Zhao heard that Ning Yueyao was going to enter the house, he stood up and looked at Song Qingyue subconsciously. Although there was no expression on his face, he was obviously a little uncomfortable.
King Su secretly clicked his tongue, look at that hopeless look! After going out for a trip, are you afraid that your mother-in-law will be like this when you come back?
Yunying was also present, eagerly looking forward to her husband's return. Why did a new person come to the house just after he returned? She pitifully shouted: "Father!"
Prince Su straightened his face and looked at the two nuns beside her: "How did you teach the princess to behave! Your Majesty, the Crown Princess hasn't spoken yet, what did she say? The palace gave you money, but you are here to eat.
?Go out and slap yourself ten times!"
"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
The two nuns secretly cried out that it was bad luck, so they went out and slapped themselves.
Yunying was frightened. Her father-in-law, His Highness Prince Su, had always been very amiable to her. Why did he suddenly become so strict that he could not even say a word?
However, the two maids knew that the prince might not hate Yunying. The prince was not a rule-abiding person to begin with, and this was just to make face for the prince's concubine!
I don’t know what the delicate and timid Crown Princess is capable of, so that His Highness Prince Su is so interested in her.
Mr. Song Ge is indeed a powerful person, but maybe it’s a bit too much!
Princess Xiao Ning’s boss is unhappy!
Ning Yueyao, this damn girl! When she was asked to marry Yi'er, she was unwilling, but she rushed to be a concubine for this wolf bastard Li Zhao. She was really angry!
As for the other female relatives in the palace, they were staring at Song Qingyue with expressions on their faces.
Meng Yuyan was the most excited. She had completely broken up with her second young master Li Yi. Li Yi was devoted to pampering several concubines and would not enter her house on the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. She was too lazy to serve Li Yi, a bastard. Human. It was just a group of concubines in his backyard. None of them could have his children. She got rid of one of them, and even secretly put contraceptive pills in their daily diet. No, to be precise, it was a sterilization poison.
If someone found out, she would have something to say. The legitimate son was not born yet. Why should a concubine give birth to a child? Shouldn't she follow the rules? Li Yi didn't enter her room. That was just right. If this man treated her like this, she would Call him the ultimate queen!
Her current mentality is the same as that of the women who have fallen out of favor in Prince Su. They want to eat, watch movies and gossip all day long. It is so easy to wait for such a big drama and just wait to see what Song Qingyue will do.
Compared to Li Zhao and Yun Ying's gaffes, Song Qingyue was actually the calmest.
I had expected this to happen.
This cousin Ning was married to Li Zhao as a concubine in both lives in the original work.
The reason why Song Qingyue was so impressed by this person is that the scene where she was fighting with Shen Baozhen was so funny. They were simply the two living treasures in Li Zhao's backyard. Let Li Zhao, a big villain who is not afraid of anything, see her. Both of them were fighting and their hearts were trembling.
In the first life, Li Zhao seemed to favor Meng Wanfeng, but in fact it was Meng Wanfeng who pushed him out as a shield.
At that time, Meng Wanfeng thought that Li Zhao really liked her, so he went to her hospital the most. Later, when she reached middle age and looked back on her youth, she found that Li Zhao was just using her as a target. .How sad.
Prince Su looked at Song Qingyue, seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, and asked: "The Crown Princess seems to be in a good mood, what do you think of this matter?"
Song Qingyue came back to her senses, stood up and saluted King Su, and said in a very gentle and virtuous manner: "This is a happy event. Miss Ning's daughter-in-law has met her several times. She is very bright and beautiful, and she is the apple of the eye of the Marquis of Zhenbei. My daughter-in-law heard that she was very fond of His Royal Highness. I am so infatuated, it is really a joy for the prince to have such a concubine to accompany him." She turned to Li Zhao, saluted him, smiled very gently and gracefully, and said: "I congratulate your highness, sister Ning. Come in, add Sister Yunying, and our east road will be lively from now on."
Li Zhao was given goosebumps by her smile and the artificial gentleness and virtuousness all over her body.
She never used the word "concubine" to refer to herself.
King Su laughed happily and said: "Boss, my wife has really made progress! Hahaha, okay, okay, that's good. If you speak decently, you have to do things decently. Even if I don't love you in vain .”
Song Qingyue said happily, "Yes, my daughter-in-law must have taken care of Sister Ning's affairs, but this is the first time that I have done something like this, so I will inevitably have to trouble Manager Wang to give me some advice."
Eunuch Wang immediately said respectfully and politely: "I don't dare to take it! I will try my best to help the princess to handle things beautifully."
This actually means that she is too lazy to take care of it and leaves all the trouble to Eunuch Wang.
King Su chuckled, he didn't mind Song Qingyue's temperament of being too lazy to bother her with anything, as long as she looked pretty for the sake of appearance, that was enough.
Song Qingyue finished speaking and sat down.
Li Zhao couldn't say anything. Since his father announced the matter in public, it seemed that the matter had already passed through the Ministry of Rites and had been decided. His name was probably written on the royal jade plate.
In his mind, he blamed his father for not consulting him when doing things, and he was worried that Song Qingyue would feel uncomfortable, so he quietly held her hand under the table and intertwined their fingers with hers.
Song Qingyue felt that her face was about to freeze with laughter. Li Zhao's behavior towards her suddenly made her feel disgusted. No, she was actually disgusted by her coquettish behavior just now.
Thinking like this, suddenly the world started spinning and I retched.
At this time, everyone in the house was shocked, and the female relatives looked at her in confusion. Yunying was a little envious, but also a little embarrassed. Li Zhao had not glanced at her since he came back. Meng Yuyan was staring at her, holding the handkerchief in her hand.
The child was almost torn by her nails.
Isn’t this possible?
Everyone thinks so.
Even Li Zhao was frightened. Looking at Song Qingyue's pale complexion, he stood up and said: "Father, I'm afraid Yue'er is tired from the journey. I'll help her go to the side hall to rest first."
King Su nodded and said, "Ask Dr. Jiang to take a look."
As soon as she left the main hall, Song Qingyue pushed Li Zhao away and asked Mo Fan to support her.
The moment he was pushed away by her, Li Zhao felt that all the blood in his body froze, his palms were numb, his teeth were clenched, and his whole body was trembling.
Sitting on the soft couch, Song Qingyue's eyes went dark, and she lay weakly on the soft pillow.
Imperial Physician Jiang came, and after checking her pulse, he said: "The imperial concubine's health is still poor after all. She is tired from traveling for a long time. She just needs to rest for a while. There is no serious problem in her health."
Li Zhao held his breath and carefully sat next to her, not even daring to breathe. When Doctor Jiang said this, he felt relieved and a little disappointed.
Song Qingyue was always very polite to the imperial doctor. She smiled and said: "Thank you, imperial doctor. I will tell you that I will ask you to check your pulse once every ten days on the road. After so many times, you are fine. How can I diagnose anything now?"
"Prince Princess, please relax, I'm specialized in gynecology. I can usually make a diagnosis in about a month, so I won't make any mistakes."
"I believe you."
"Weichen is going to give Princess Concubine a prescription to soothe her nerves and replenish her energy. You can drink it tonight and have a good rest for three days."
"Thank you."
Mo Fan stepped forward to reward him, but Lin Wanfu did not dare to fall behind and quickly handed over the money to Doctor Jiang.
Dr. Jiang was very happy. He really liked patients like Song Qingyue, who were reasonable, obedient, and extremely polite. He could even get two silver rewards every time.
He thought in his mind that the prince concubine and the prince were strange. They seemed to be in love and loved each other very much, but they had their own money. He had never seen anyone reward them separately.
Hey, that's good. He won a lot of rewards along the way on this business trip. When he got home, he bought a new piece of jewelry for his wife. He also packed a portion of cyclamen sauce elbows and took them back to his children at home.
.
Ever since he came to Su Wangfu's Good Medical Clinic, Imperial Doctor Jiang's life has never been so nourishing.
In the side hall, Li Zhao slowly approached her and gently held her in his arms. Seeing that she had no intention of resisting him anymore, he put down his thoughts and said softly: "It's okay, we will always have children in the future.
, don’t be disappointed.”
Song Qingyue smiled weakly. She was not disappointed at all, but she didn't even have the strength to explain.
After returning home, I take a shower, comb my hair, change clothes and put on make-up, just like going to war. Then I go to the princess to greet the princess, accept the Mongolian concubine who suddenly appears, and play tricks with a bunch of women. After that, I have to attend the reception banquet and play the role of the perfect princess.
…
After being polite to Dr. Jiang, she felt as if her cell phone had run out of battery and suddenly lost power.
Li Zhao turned around and gave Lin Wanfu a wink, asking him to tell his father about the diagnosis of the imperial concubine. He also asked Mo Shan to go to the kitchen on the east road and ask them to boil hot water and prepare more.
A light snack that the Crown Princess loves to eat, to prevent her from getting hungry in the middle of the night and waking up wanting to eat.
Li Zhao asked someone to carry her back to his Baoguang Hall in a soft sedan. There was a large semi-open-air bath at the back of his place. The hot water would cool down quickly. It was too cold to use in winter, but it was just right for taking a bath in summer.
He personally helped her take off her clothes, carried her into the bath, washed her hair, took her out again, placed her on the soft couch by the pool, and wiped her hair.
The maids in Yushu and Yuqin's front yard were eagerly waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince to come back. They were looking forward to him finally returning to the mansion, but they only cared about the Crown Princess in their hearts.
To be continued...
