In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, and they started getting busy at five o'clock that morning. Xichen and Shen Huan first went to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to heaven. After returning, Shen Huan held a congratulatory ceremony with the dignity of the queen. After congratulating Xichen, everyone went to Shouan together. The palace greets the Queen Mother
In the Shou'an Palace, the Queen Mother wore a brown mercerized brocade long dress with wide sleeves embroidered with swastikas for the festival. The front was embroidered with a large group of calm and elegant golden willow leaves. The long skirt reached to the ground, and the sides of the waist were decorated with Ruyi brocade. The heart tassel hangs vertically down, and the head is combed into a rich high bun. On the bun is fixed a golden hairpin with two dragons playing with pearls. The huge east pearl held in the dragon's mouth is about the size of a thumb, glowing with a soft silver halo.
Today, Shen Huan is wearing a red court dress embroidered with five-color golden phoenixes. The golden phoenix spreads out from the shoulders to the tail of the skirt. The golden phoenix tails are shining and dazzling. The silk tail holds a emerald phoenix hairpin. From the tail of the phoenix hairpin hangs a golden hairpin, which is wrapped around the bun. There are six golden hairpins on each side of the bun. The longest golden hairpin in the middle hangs down a thin tassel.
The Queen Mother is calm and elegant
The concubines behind him are also colorful, each showing their own appearance.
The Queen Mother's eyes slowly moved across the crowd, and suddenly stopped on the face of Qi Bin, whom she had not seen for a long time. Her eyes moved and turned to Shen Huan: "Is the Queen confused? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, how can we let such an ominous person Come to the Shouan Palace of the Ai family! If the Ai family suffers any bad luck, can the queen bear it?"
Shen Huan glanced at Qi Concubine lightly, and then said to the Queen Mother: "Queen mother, please calm down. When I visited the palace in the western suburbs the month before last, Qin Tianjian did say that Qi Concubine was unlucky, but more than a month later, I also asked Qin Tian again. Prison, Qin Tian Prison has reported that the concubine's bad luck has been removed, and she can now come and go freely."
The Queen Mother stared at Shen Huan and asked: "The Queen is sure that Qi Concubine has eliminated the unknown?"
Shen Huan raised her head, smiled, and said: "Yes, not only that, I want to tell the Queen Mother some good news! Qi Concubine, she has been pregnant for more than a month!"
As soon as the words came out, not only the Queen Mother was stunned, but the other concubines were also stunned.
The Queen Mother was stunned at first, and then asked: "Have you checked the pulse at the Queen Mother Hospital?"
Shen Huan said: "Yes, first, Sun Yuanjian checked her pulse, and then I asked Yuanzheng and Zuoyuanjian to check her pulse together, and it was confirmed that Yu Qibin was indeed more than a month pregnant. After all, she was still in the west. There are some in the suburban palace!"
The Queen Mother softened her expression. No matter what, having an heir is the greatest joy.
"Very good, the Aijia finally heard the good news. Amitabha, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the Aijia worshiping the Buddha! One day the Aijia will go to the Buddha to recite a few more sutras. Qi concubine, you come to the Aijia."
Qi Bin slowly moved to the Queen Mother and timidly knelt down.
But the Queen Mother supported her and said with a kind smile: "Don't kneel, you are a pregnant woman, treat yourself well, don't kneel down all the time!" Then she said to the Queen: "Everything for Qi Concubine. , Queen, please be careful, those who serve you must do their best. If there is anything short of it, the Ai family will not rely on it."
Shen Huan followed her and smiled and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely take good care of Qi Concubine and the dragon fetus in her belly! At today's dinner, I will be promoted to her position."
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "This is how it should be."
All the concubines had smiles on their faces, but they didn't know that their hearts were filled with hatred. Their eyes almost fell out of their eyes as they stared at Qi Concubine's unobvious belly.
The Queen Mother was happy, and the concubines accompanied her and had a lively lunch at Shou'an Palace.
During lunch, Qi Bi couldn't help but retching. When everyone looked at her, she blushed and muttered: "I don't know what's going on..."
When Shen Huan saw her pitiful appearance, she almost forgot how she grabbed him and prayed to save the fetus!
The look in his eyes at that time was so decisive!
This is definitely not how a weak concubine should behave!
Who is this look on Qibi’s face for?
Suddenly noticing Concubine Pei's eyes that were about to burst into flames, Shen Huan smiled slightly.
The person who is most concerned about Concubine Qi’s pregnancy is none other than Concubine Pei! And the person who hates Concubine Pei the most now is Concubine Qi! It seems that there must be a fierce fight between these two people! It’s a pity that their positions The difference in status is huge, even if the Jin Dynasty is granted the title of Concubine Qi... But tonight, Xichen also said that she will be granted the title of Concubine Xian!
He sighed in his heart and thought to himself: Qi concubine, you have to fight for your strength. I hope you and this dragon fetus can survive until the day when the Pei family loses power!
After lunch, Shen Huan returned to Chen Palace and slept for a while.
When they got up, Chun'er and Xiang Ming were waiting with gorgeous palace clothes. Shen Huan sighed, it was really painful to change clothes like this.
Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, before I even finished my face, I heard the announcement that Xichen had come in.
Shen Han bowed slightly and saluted. Xichen held her shoulders and stared at her quietly for a while. Shen Han smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xichen's throat twitched and he said: "Tonight, you will be more exposed. Huanhua, please don't attend the dinner party."
Shen Wen was startled and asked hurriedly: "Why?"
Xichen remained silent, and Shen Huan asked curiously: "Did I do something wrong? Doesn't the emperor allow me to attend the dinner?"
Xichen smiled bitterly and said softly: "Don't think so wildly, I... I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable if you go there."
Shen Huan was confused and guessed: "Is the emperor talking about Concubine Pei?"
Xichen looked at her deeply and said, "No matter what the reason is, just listen to me, okay?"
Shen Wen met his deep eyes, but still couldn't see clearly what was inside, so she could only sigh in a low voice: "Okay, I won't go if I don't go."
Xichen seemed to be relieved, patted her shoulder, and said to Xiang Ming and Chun'er: "Serve the Queen well."
"yes"
Xichen glanced at Shen Huan again before walking out.
Shen Wen sat blankly in front of the mirror. Chun'er called out: "Your Majesty..." Xiangming pulled her and signaled her not to speak.
Shen Huan suddenly smiled, which seemed extremely sad: "What on earth do I do as a queen?"
Xiang Ming and Chun'er looked at each other, and Xiang Ming quietly walked out.
Not long after, Xiang Ming came back, and Shen Huan asked: "What did the outside say?"
Xiang Ming said: "Because the Queen is unwell, no one said anything."
Shen Huan smiled helplessly and said: "In this case, I am not feeling well! Chun'er, go and watch from the front. If there is any decree, come back and tell me quickly."
"Hey, okay!" Chun'er hurriedly ran out
Xiang Ming said: "Your Majesty, please go to the kitchen to deliver dinner to your Majesty?"
"Okay, others are celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chonghua Hall, and we will be celebrating our own Mid-Autumn Festival in Chen Palace!" Shen Huan said with a faint smile.
Despite this, rewards from Chonghua Hall continued to arrive, including crystal green tea mooncakes, various pastries, dishes, fruits, and drinks, etc.
Looking at the cuteness of the crystal mooncake, she took a chopstick and saw Chun'er running back panting and saying: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has just issued three decrees. The first one is to confer Concubine Pei as the virtuous concubine. ! The second one is for Jin to confer Qi’s concubine as Rong Hua, and the third one is... for the Twelfth Master to marry him!"
