The days passed quickly, and it was already the end of the year when the queen's belly became pregnant. The spring of the next year would be the wedding of Princess Chaoyang. By then, the queen would be pregnant and might not be able to abbot it. After thinking about it, she finally handed over the wedding ceremony to the queen mother.
.
Princess Chaoyang was unhappy about this for a long time at first, but finally agreed. Although Cui was not Princess Chaoyang's biological mother, she still had the title of Queen Mother, and she couldn't get over it both emotionally and rationally.
Perhaps because the queen is pregnant, the palace will be particularly lively during the New Year's Eve this year.
Just because the Empress wanted to parade in the streets, the Emperor spent huge sums of money to build a Tianjie market, imitating the scene of Tianjie outside the capital, for the Queen to have fun in the streets.
On New Year's Eve, the Sky Street Lantern Market opened in the palace, attracting everyone in the palace to watch and play. Looking at the stylish vendors with lanterns and colorful decorations, it seemed like they were in a market outside the palace.
, not in the palace!
"Look at the lifelike stalls and hawkers. The New Year Festival in the palace has not been so lively for a long time." Concubine De stood at the jade railing and looked at the scenery of the Tianjie below. She was filled with admiration, and suddenly recalled her childhood.
I once went out for a parade with my father and brother, and this was what I saw.
"The decorations that have been put into so much thought are definitely the best." Concubine Shu said with a smile, "These vendors are all dressed up by the palace guards, and the things sold on the stalls are specially brought from outside the palace.
Shipped in."
"The Emperor has said that today, when the Tianjie Market is open, everyone in the palace will have to spend money to buy things if they go out to the streets. Even the Emperor is no exception." Concubine Shu curled her lips and said, "We are trapped in the harem.
It’s rare to have such an opportunity, so you have to experience it.”
"Oh, come on, come on, come on for my broken silver." When Concubine De heard this, she became excited and wanted to go shopping on Tianjie immediately to see what good things she could buy.
"If you don't have enough money, you can exchange things for things. Bartering can be considered fun." Concubine Shu paused while speaking, then looked sideways at Concubine Xian and said, "Sister Concubine Xian, why have you become such a boring gourd today?
, you went to this stop without even saying a word?"
Concubine Xian curved her lips and lowered her eyes and said: "I am not a person who likes to join in the fun, so I am not interested in this scene. Unlike my sister, Concubine Shu, since my sister has recovered from her illness, she has been so active for the whole day.
Happier than ever."
Concubine Xian turned her head and said with a smile: "I heard that my sister goes to the Imperial Garden every now and then to walk around various small courtyards. Even the West Palace has been visited many times."
"Sister, you are so energetic." Concubine Xian pointedly mentioned Xi Gong, and she saw the expression on Concubine Shu's face change.
"Sister Xian Fei is laughing. I used to be sick a lot and couldn't leave the house. Now I feel better and like to walk around." Shu Fei calmly responded naturally and casually.
"The palace is such a big place, and it doesn't take much effort to walk even two steps." Concubine De chuckled, looking at the emperor and empress approaching in the distance, she quickly stopped her smile and said, "The emperor is here, you are all young."
Say a few words."
All the concubines turned around and stood in order, and then they bent down to greet the emperor and the queen when they approached.
Since the Queen was pregnant and was personally taken to Chengming Palace by the Emperor, the concubines had not seen the Queen for a long time. Today they met Siningchi for the first time, and their eyes involuntarily fell on Siningchi's belly.
I wish I could see through my clothes what the belly carrying the dragon child looks like.
