After Qi Kuan went down, Hongli saw Xianyue coughing from time to time, and asked with concern: "Have you asked the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"
Xianyue smiled softly and said, "I'm fine, I'll just drink a bowl of ginger tea later. Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Be careful, there will be a New Year's Eve family dinner in a few days, and I don't want you to be absent." Hearing Hongli's words, Xianyue pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if I am really sick, I won't dare to
Absent." After saying that, she looked at Yong Cong and said, "We haven't seen him for a while. The seventh elder brother has grown a lot taller. Looking at it, I'm afraid he will grow taller than the eldest elder brother in the future."
Hongli stroked Yong Cong's head and said, "Where is Yong Huang? Is he in the study?"
Xianyue nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor said before that his calligraphy is tangible but not material. He has been practicing hard in the study these days. He only came out during the meal. Do you want me to call him over?"
"No need, I'll call him after dinner." Speaking of this, Hongli said happily: "Although this child is not very talented, he is more diligent, down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships. After he opens his teeth and builds a house, I will
You can gradually delegate some errands to him."
Xianyue smiled and said: "The eldest brother has always wanted to share the emperor's worries. If he heard the emperor's words, he would be very happy." After a moment of pause, she said hesitantly: "The emperor brought the seventh brother here today. The queen did not say anything.
?”
Hongli smiled and said: "It's okay, the queen is not an ignorant person, you don't have to worry."
Xianyue didn't say anything after hearing this. Seeing that Yong Cong was bored after picking the petals, she asked someone to get toys and spread a down mat on the ground for him to play with, which made Yong Cong very happy. After a while, Qi Qi
Kuan came in with the newly made dragon beard candy. He stuffed one piece in his mouth and held two more pieces in his hand, regardless of how sticky his hands were.
Hongli wiped the candy stains from the corner of his mouth for him and said funnyly: "You child, it seems you have been hungry for a long time. Eat slowly, and no one will compete with you."
Yong Cong swallowed the candy in his mouth and grinned: "Huang Ama, the candy is delicious!"
Hongli shook his head and said: "Huang Ama knows that you are such a greedy cat. Eat less. You will have dinner later. Do you understand?"
Yong Cong nodded while wolfing down Dragon Beard Candy, which made Hongli angry and funny. However, this cannot be blamed on Yong Cong. He thought about Dragon Beard Candy every day, but Hongli didn't bring it for a while.
He came to Yanxi Palace.
When it was time for dinner, Yong Huang just knew that Hongli and Yong Cong were coming. He quickly came over to salute, and then went to the side hall to have dinner together. Yong Cong ate too much sugar, and his belly was so round that he could not eat anything.
, has been pestering Yong Huang to accompany him
He played, but Yonghuang had no choice but to eat a few bites in a hurry and then played with him. Yonghuang originally wanted to take Yongcong out, but Xianyue said that it was cold outside, and when he went in and out, it was hot and cold.
They get sick easily, so they are asked to play in the temple.
In this way, until Hongli left, Yongcong never left the sight of Hongli and Sixi. If the queen really wanted to use Yongcong to harm her, then she had avoided it as much as possible, and Hongli also
It will become her most powerful witness, proving that she has never touched Yong Cong from beginning to end.
The few days before New Year's Eve passed quickly. In the evening, the princes, ministers and court ladies gathered in the outer hall, while Xianyue and others sat in the inner hall. One after another delicious dishes were brought in like running water, and there was a juggling troupe.
Performing outside, the atmosphere was quite lively.
Although Mingyu hated Xianyue, he would not say anything on this occasion, and they would laugh and talk to each other as if they had no grudges at all.
Mr. Huang sat under Xianyue. After toasting to Mingyu, he said softly: "It's really embarrassing for the queen to smile at us like this. My concubine's smile almost froze when she saw her."
Xianyue smiled slightly, pursed her lips towards Concubine Yu and said, "In terms of superficial skills, the Queen is far inferior to her."
Huang smiled and said nothing. After a while, Yong Huang personally brought the dumplings in. Ever since Ling Ruo praised Yong Huang for making delicious dumplings, Yong Huang has always made the New Year's Eve dumplings with his own hands, without letting anyone else help.
Halfway through the venue, the fireworks that had been prepared early bloomed in the night sky, suddenly taking away the brilliance of the stars and the moon, and everyone's eyes could only accommodate this extremely gorgeous firework.
After watching for a while, Xianyue turned to look at Hongli, and unexpectedly found that he was also looking at her. The moment their eyes met, they both showed a knowing smile.
Mingyu saw this scene in his eyes, his hand hanging under the table curtain tightly clutched the handkerchief, his silver teeth clenched, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, even so, that originally gentle and dignified face
There is still a hint of ferocity and coldness.
Hongli left her as his legitimate wife aside and flirted with that bitch. She was really angry to death!
She, Fucha Mingyu, swore to God that she would never let this bitch be proud forever. Sooner or later, she would tear that charming face to pieces with her own hands.
The fireworks were brilliant but short-lived. After a while, all the fireworks prepared by Xianyue were lit up, and the night sky returned to calm. However, because of the smoke that filled the air, the stars and moon looked like they were covered with a layer of veil, which was not as good as before.
clear.
Everyone continued to enjoy their dinner. Ling Ruo left the table first because he felt unwell, and Princess Yu and Princess Cheng also left with them.
After sitting down again, Mingyu asked the palace servants to pour wine into the cup again, but Hongli stopped her and said, "The queen has already drank a lot just now. If she drinks any more, she might get drunk."
"It's better if you're drunk." Mingyu's voice was so soft that Hongli couldn't hear it clearly, so he asked, "What did the queen say?"
Mingyu opened his slightly smoked eyes and said in a solemn voice: "It's nothing. I think this osmanthus wine is delicious, so I couldn't help but drink a few more glasses."
"Although this wine is sweet in the mouth, it has great staying power, especially since the queen is just recovering from her illness, so she cannot drink too much." After that, Hongli said to the palace servants standing aside: "Go and pour a cup of kudzu tea for the queen." Wait.
After the palace maid left, Hongli said warmly: "Kudzu flower tea is the best way to relieve hangover. After drinking this tea, the queen will not have a headache when she wakes up tomorrow morning."
Faced with Hongli's concern, Mingyu was slightly moved, but the next moment she thought of the scene where Hongli and Xianyue looked at each other and smiled, the emotion immediately disappeared, and she said calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion at the table where Yong Huang and the others were sitting. Xianyue frowned slightly and said, "Yong Huang, what's wrong?"
Yonghuang turned around and said sadly: "Mother, seventh brother's face is so hot, he seems to be sick!"
Hearing this, Mingyu was shocked and quickly stood up and walked towards Yong Huang and the others. When he saw Yong Cong's small figure, he held him in his arms and said nervously: "Yong Cong, what's wrong?"
