Concubine Yu suppressed her hatred and squeezed out a smile and said: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Noble Concubine and Sister Jia Concubine. Because I was pregnant with Yongqi and was in confinement, I couldn't control my meals. Now that I am out of confinement, I believe it will be soon."
It will be reduced.”
"That's good." Xia Yue said softly, drank the wine in the glass with Hongli, and then joined the others in raising their glasses to start the banquet.
The nights in early summer are cool and pleasant, and the chirping of insects and cicadas is like unscripted music, playing in everyone's ears. As for the summer moon, it hangs high in the night sky, quietly casting endless clear brilliance.
The full moon banquet was full of laughter and cheers, and it was really lively. Halfway through the banquet, each of the girls handed the things they had brought to Concubine Yu to congratulate the fifth elder brother on the full moon. There were many valuable things among them, as if
It really hurt Yongqi.
Xianyue gave a pair of mutton-fat white jade bis, and Concubine Yu thanked her profusely. However, Aluo noticed that whether it was the pair of white jade bis, or the longevity locks, colorful necklaces, etc. given by others, Concubine Yu was grateful.
They were all given to Xiao Quanzi to put away. None of them were worn on Yongqi, and they were not even allowed to touch them. They were afraid that Yongqi would be ignorant and break these things. Everyone knew the truth to some extent.
After three rounds of drinking, he was almost done. Hongli stood up slightly drunk and said: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back first."
Seeing Hongli's words, all the girls stood up and agreed. Concubine Yu supported him and said: "Your Majesty, you drank a lot just now. Be careful. I will help you go back."
Hongli glanced at her who was overly plump, shook his head and said: "No need, it's fine as long as Sixi supports me. You can take Yongqi back and take good care of him. Although it's summer, it's still a little cold in the morning and evening, so be careful."
Don't let him get cold."
Concubine Yu meekly said: "I know this, and I have also told the nanny and the others to take turns guarding me day and night. The Emperor can rest assured. However, Your Majesty, you are working hard day and night, which really worries me."
"I'm fine." After saying that, Hongli called Si Xi and Xiao Wu, "help me back to Yangxin Palace."
Seeing that Hongli still refused to let her go to the Yangxin Palace, Concubine Yu had no choice but to kneel down and send Hongli off with the other concubines, with a trace of unwillingness hidden in her eyebrows.
After being able to stand up, Jin walked to her side and said with a sweet smile: "How are you, sister Yufei?"
Concubine Yu suppressed the unwillingness in her eyes, raised her head and said in surprise: "Why do you ask, sister?"
"I can see that Concubine Yu, you only want to serve the emperor, but the emperor..." At this point, she shook her head and said: "Oh, but you can't blame the emperor for this matter. After all, you are like this.
Alas, this happens to anyone."
As Jin said these words, there was a lot of sarcastic laughter all around. Although Concubine Yu was very scheming, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she heard her taunting her face to face and the four-hit sarcastic laughter.
After a change, he forced a smile and said: "Thank you, sister, for reminding me. It seems that if I don't return to my former self, I will be sorry for my sister."
"What did it look like in the past?" Mrs. Jin looked at Concubine Yu's face up and down, and said with concern: "In my opinion, this is not an ordinary hardship. Sister, don't push too hard, otherwise you will hurt your body, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
.”
"How could it be possible?" Concubine Yu said with a faint smile: "At the beginning, everyone thought that I could not give birth to Yongqi, but in the end, she gave birth to Yongqi well? No one knew until the last moment, just like...
She glanced at the people who were laughing and said in a cold voice: "Those who are laughing today may not be able to laugh again tomorrow or the day after."
Hearing these words, those people looked a little uncomfortable, and all the smiles on their lips disappeared. Except for Jin, she didn't care and said with a smile: "Then I am here to wish my sister a speedy return to her former self."
You are so slender, don't keep the emperor and me waiting for long." After that, she bowed to Xianyue and left. After her, everyone dispersed.
On the way back to Fu Xianyue, A Luo said: "Master, it seems that Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu are also at odds with each other."
Xianyue smiled slightly and said: "There are a few people in the harem who are harmonious in face and heart. Most of them are just acting."
"Fortunately, Concubine Yi is sincere to the master, and it is not in vain that the master has helped her several times." After saying this, A Luo added: "Today, the emperor did not allow Concubine Yu to accompany him to the Yangxin Palace, which means that he clearly did not want to.
Concubine Yu serves, and what Concubine Jia said just now, Concubine Yu will probably try her best to regain her slim figure after she returns, in order to be able to serve the emperor again. Master, do you think we should find a way to stop it?"
Xianyue glanced at her and said, "Is it possible that you want to add an appetite suppressant to her water again?" Before A Luo could speak, she shook her head and said, "Not to mention that Concubine Yu will not be fooled again, but Xia
Qing...she can't help me anymore."
A Luo said anxiously: "What should we do? Just let her be favored by the emperor again?"
Xianyue gently stroked her cheeks that were slightly hot due to drinking, "Don't worry, we don't want Concubine Yu to be favored, and Concubine Jia and the others are not willing to live it. Just look at it, Concubine Yu's life will not be very peaceful." After a pause.
After a pause, she said: "By the way, is there any news from Prince He?"
"My servant took advantage of the opportunity to go out yesterday and went to see Prince He. He said that he had sent out manpower to hunt him down. In addition, he also inquired about Liu Erniang's hometown. News should be coming soon."
"Okay." With that said, Xianyue said nothing and let A Luo help her back to Yanxi Palace.
At that time, Mrs. Huang also held Jin Ping's hand as she walked towards Chonghua Palace. While walking halfway, she saw several figures standing there not far away. When she got closer, she was shocked to find that it was Mr. Jin and
Her palace maid.
Huang said in surprise: "Concubine Jia, why are you here?"
Jin saw her and sighed: "Oh, on the way back just now, I saw that the moonlight was still good, so I wanted to walk around. Unexpectedly, my ankle suddenly turned, and the pain was unbearable. I couldn't walk a few steps, so I had to stand in front of her.
Take a rest here."
Liu Mei interjected: "My servant saw that this place is near the Chonghua Palace of the Empress. The night wind was getting colder, so I persuaded the master to go to the Empress to rest for a while, but the master was afraid of disturbing the Empress and refused to go there."
"Talking too much." Jin Jin scolded Liu Mei in displeasure, and then said: "Sister, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. After resting for a while, she's feeling much better. It's nothing serious."
Mrs. Huang looked around and said: "This place is quite far from Yonghe Palace. If you walk there like this, I'm afraid it will aggravate the injury on your feet. You'd better go to my place to sit for a while and get some medicine on the way. Then I'll ask someone to prepare it."
I will send you there."
Jin said guiltily: "How can I feel sorry for troublesome sister like this?"
Huang said warmly: "Why are you so polite? Come over quickly. If it's serious, you'd better ask the imperial doctor to take a look earlier."
