She didn't like Concubine Ying's behavior of tricking others behind her back at all.
It was obvious that she already knew that she was pregnant, and she deliberately pretended not to know.
It was nothing more than wanting Lin Wanyi to reveal that she was pregnant.
This was the Empress Dowager's reception banquet. If she were to be the protagonist in the limelight, it would not only make everyone in the harem jealous, but also the Empress Dowager would be unhappy with her.
I have to say that I never saw that Concubine Ying had such thoughts before.
Concubine Ying's face paused slightly when she was so rejected.
Maybe he didn't expect Lin Wanyi to respond with a sting.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard the emperor sitting on the dragon throne speaking to the people below.
"Come, let's raise a glass together to celebrate the Queen Mother's return to the palace."
"yes."
The emperor was the first to drink it all in one gulp, and the people below him could not say much.
Especially Concubine Ying's eyes glanced between the emperor and Lin Wanyi, as if she was wondering whether the emperor's action just now was maintenance or a coincidence?
Singing and dancing started, and the banquet started.
It has to be said that Concubine Yi was no worse than Concubine Lin in arranging palace banquets when she was in power.
There may even be a little more ingenuity.
For example, the Queen Mother's mother's family is from Suizhou, so she specially dedicated a local song and dance from Suizhou.
The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile on her face.
Concubine Yi felt very satisfied when she saw it.
And through the figures of those dancers, Lin Wanyi also saw the Queen Mother's two biological daughters for the first time.
Princess Huixian and Princess Huiyue.
And the consort next to them.
Both of them are full of princess style. Because they are close in age and share the same mother, they still have some similarities in appearance.
But if you take a closer look, Princess Huixian is more gentle, while Princess Huiyue is more fierce.
As if aware of Lin Wanyi's looking eyes, Princess Huiyue also looked over.
When the two "accidentally" looked at each other, Huiyue's eyes revealed a meaning of inquiry, which could not be more obvious.
This made Lin Wanyi strange.
Obviously they have never met before, why did she look like this?
This is even a bit malicious.
Thinking that he had heard the second prince mention the emperor's old childhood stories, he quickly understood.
It seems that the one who is at odds with the emperor is Princess Huiyue.
She probably didn't like everyone who was close to the emperor.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanyi straightened his eyes and looked at her without fear.
The corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.
How could she like someone who the emperor didn't even like?
In this regard, she is quite accommodating to her husband.
Sensing Lin Wanyi's unyielding and slightly provocative attitude, Princess Huiyue's stubbornness came back.
After smiling sarcastically, he stood up, interrupted the singing and dancing, and then said.
"Mother, you can see this song and dance every day. You are not in the capital during these days, but many interesting things happened. If mother is interested, I can tell you."
Everyone was enjoying watching the singing and dancing, but unexpectedly they were interrupted by Princess Huiyue.
I feel very unhappy in my heart.
But upon hearing it again, it seemed like there was something to say.
Naturally, he put aside the unhappiness just now and concentrated on waiting for Princess Huiyue to speak.
On the contrary, the Queen Mother looked at her little daughter, feeling a little impatient with her.
When she was born, her position as queen was not very secure, so she didn't have much thought to care about her, and she was all dealing with the harem and the former court.
After everything was stable, she began to feel like a loving mother and wanted to take care of him.
It's a pity that he has long been favored by the palace people and has become lawless.
After several twists and turns, the child has restrained himself a lot, but the affection between mother and daughter has also become much weaker.
For example, during the few years she went to Mount Wutai.
Princess Huixian went back to visit her once a year and stayed with her for a month or two at a time to show her filial piety.
But Princess Huiyue has never been there.
Now that she has returned to Beijing, does she feel that she has been blessed by a great Buddha?
So why are you rushing to talk about this?
The Queen Mother felt a little disappointed.
So he spoke.
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later with the Ai family back to Cining Palace. We are all watching singing and dancing now. Why are you interrupting?"
The Queen Mother's words were obvious enough, how could Princess Huiyue not understand them.
But she has had a stubborn temper since she was a child. The more she is not allowed to do something, the more she will do it.
So he just said it without caring about other people or the occasion.
"The Queen Mother is not happy and her son said it, and her son also wants to say it. It has been three years since Queen Xu passed away, and now the position in the middle palace has been vacant for a long time. Although it is said that Concubine Lin and Concubine Yi were in charge of the general affairs, there are some unjustifiable names." It's not going well, so many people in the harem have other thoughts and are planning to harm our Wei Dynasty."
As soon as she said this, everyone started whispering.
The fourth prince frowned, looked at his niece, whom he always disliked, and snorted coldly.
"Huiyue, everyone is happy today. Don't drink two more glasses of wine and talk nonsense."
The warning was very obvious, but it was a pity that if Huiyue could understand this, he would not have lived so domineeringly for so many years.
So he said sarcastically.
"My niece is not the fourth uncle. She is old and can get drunk after just two sips. My drinking capacity means that even one more night of drinking is fine."
She was really speechless and never stopped talking.
"Huh, as a princess, I haven't seen you do any great achievements, but you have learned to drink well. This is something to be proud of?"
The prince-in-law next to him was so embarrassed that his face turned red, but he didn't know how to persuade the princess to sit down.
After all, he only has a name in the princess mansion.
If we really talk about it, I'm afraid they are not as many as those in the boudoir.
Therefore, I could only lower my head and say nothing.
"You are so impudent that even your Fourth Uncle Wang dares to contradict you?"
When the Queen Mother saw this, she immediately shouted.
This sound made those who were whispering boo.
Shut up and look at the Queen Mother.
I saw a lot of dissatisfaction on her face, and she was full of majesty when she looked at Princess Huiyue.
Huiyue was so frightened by her that her heart skipped a beat.
Seeing no one came to help her, she had to sit down silently.
When he looked at the emperor again, he looked at him with a mocking look on his face.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, Don't overestimate your capabilities.
Huiyue bit her silver teeth in hatred.
If the emperor's appearance had not taken away the favor of her father and mother, she would have been the most favored person in the harem.
Therefore, she had always harbored hatred towards the infant brother of the prince.
This is even more true now.
How could he use the power of his mother's family to become an emperor praised by thousands of people, but he was just a mere princess.
We must live this kind of life of caring for our husband and raising our children.
