When it was Chen Rui's turn to offer a gift to Xiao Heng and Concubine Duan, she didn't even look up at Xiao Heng for a second, forcibly suppressing the hatred and pain that surged in her heart, and tried her best to show a humble and respectful smile. Chen Rui talked about the full moon congratulations to the fifth prince together.
Finally, Wei Zijin presented the purse she had prepared long ago and said to Xiao Heng and Concubine Duan: "This is the purse that I embroidered with gold thread for the fifth prince. I wish the fifth prince a happy full moon..."
She didn't know how much effort it took to make her voice calm and quiet. The eunuch presented her embroidered purse to Duan Concubine. Duan Concubine took the fine embroidered purse and opened it and saw two ingots containing Ruyi. The golden ankle adds a hint of praise to her beautiful face.
"Madam Shangshu is a good embroiderer!" Concubine Duan praised, and ordered the palace maids around her to put away the purse with Ruyi golden ankles, and were quite satisfied with Wei Zijin's gift.
When Xiao Heng presented the purse, he glanced casually. He always felt that the embroiderer of the purse was a little familiar, but he didn't think about it carefully. He picked up the wine glass and smiled at Chen Rui and Wei Zijin, "You are my dear, you are. My virtuous counselor, my wife is skillful and skillful. The two of them are really a match made by heaven, and they are given wine.”
The palace maid who was guarding aside poured a glass of wine for Chen Rui and Wei Zijin. Chen Rui and Wei Zijin raised their glasses together and replied with a tribute: "Thank you, the emperor, for giving the wine!"
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood for the congratulations from the Lord Shangshu and the wife of the Secretary, the relatives of civil and military officials also presented gifts one by one. Among them, there were many people who took the opportunity to please Concubine Duan, saying that the fifth prince would become a pillar of the country one day!
After being pregnant, Duan Concubine Duan, who showed a little charming charm, heard these compliments, a blush of joy appeared on her face, and she respected the court officials with Xiao Heng, as if she had regarded herself as the lord of the harem!
Seeing Xiao Heng and Concubine Duan raise their glasses to accept congratulations from many ministers and family members, and smiling, Wei Zijin lowered her head and covered the cold smile that flashed through her eyes.
Now they have a fifth prince and are celebrating like this, but they don’t know that there was a wisp of fragrant soul that almost disappeared under their persecution!
The more Wei Zijin looked at Xiao Heng and Duan Fei’s high-spirited appearance, the more dazzling it became. It looked so happy, but there were actually so many unknown conspiracies and sinister intentions hidden behind it!
Perhaps because he noticed that Wei Zijin was not in high spirits, Chen Rui thought she was tired, so he secretly patted the back of her hand and whispered in her ear: "If you are unwell, drink less alcohol!"
His concern was beyond words, and he brought her back from the indignation immersed in the past. She was stunned for a moment when she met his caring gaze. His gentle smile also injected a clear spring into her barren and desolate heart.
Wei Zijin nodded and said softly: "It's okay, I'm just not used to such a banquet..." Although she smiled faintly at him, her smile was quite forced.
Chen Rui had long noticed that she had been feeling a little uncomfortable since she entered the palace with him, but he didn't know what she was thinking, and just thought it was her first time entering the palace and was unacceptable, and smiled and comforted: "A such a banquet is actually not Not much, it is inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable when you first enter the palace! The emperor is in a good mood today, so you don’t have to be too restricted..."
