==Chapter 112==
Three days before the Longevity Festival, the streets and alleys of Beijing begin to be decorated with red and colorful decorations.
The day is shrouded in a sea of fiery red, and the night is not much worse than the day. Almost every house has big red lanterns hanging in front of the door. The government has canceled the night curfew and stays up all night. The Lantern Festival is even more lively every year.
On this day, it was still dark outside, and Yao Niang was called.
She was feeling sleepy now, and she was still in a daze when she woke up, so she was helped by the maids to wash and dress. King Jin got up earlier than Yao Niang and was already fully dressed. He looked at her helplessly, angry and funny.
When everything was ready, King Jin said: "Let her sleep for a while, and then call her when the outside is ready."
So Hong Silk was busy taking off all the hairpins on Yao Niang's head, and helped her to the bed. Yao Niang asked what was wrong, and when King Jin said it was still early, she fell asleep again. go.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn outside. Xiaobao had been up early and had breakfast with King Jin outside. Yao Niang hurriedly asked the girl to dress herself up again. Fortunately, it was easy to just comb her hair, so she packed up and went to the outside.
Xiaobao is already full, and King Jin has just put down his chopsticks.
Yao Niang was a little embarrassed: "Have you eaten yet?"
Xiaobao sighed silently in his heart. King Jin ordered the girl to prepare a meal for Yaoniang and pulled her to sit beside him: "Use it first and then talk about it."
Yao Niang hurriedly picked up the bowl of porridge and started eating in small bites. While eating, she smiled at King Jin, as if she was sorry for delaying her work.
Prince Jin felt that since she became pregnant, she has become much clumsier than before, her eyes are not as good as before, she is much more squeamish, and she is also confused and clumsy. It feels... It feels like he has raised a daughter. .
Unexpectedly, he didn't feel impatient, and even felt that this was the real her. In the past, her caution, humility and knowledge were actually her last resort to protect herself.
Actually, if you think about it, this is true. A daughter from a small family, although her family is relatively poor, she grew up without any restraints. Suddenly, in order to make a living, she had to work as a servant in a big house. She had to go with the flow, erase her own nature, and make some changes.
My heart suddenly softened, thinking that she would have to bear the burden of having a child out of wedlock when she was only fourteen years old. She would be rejected by her family and despised by outsiders. I don’t know how she survived that time and how she gave birth to a little baby again. of. I immediately felt that it would be okay to pamper her again.
Seeing that she was eating in a hurry, he picked up the silver chopsticks that he had put down, picked up a boiled shrimp, and put it on the plate in front of her.
"Eat slowly, don't rush."
“Aren’t you in a hurry to enter the palace?”
"Don't rush now."
On the street in front of Prince Jin's Mansion, the full guard of honor belonging to Prince Jin has been lined up. There are several cars parked at the front of the line. The first one is the most eye-catching, it is the carriage of the prince. Behind them are three luxurious carriages with green covers and pearl tassels. The carriage of Princess Jin is second, followed by that of Yao Niang. The last one is occupied by Concubine Xu and Concubine Liu.
It stands to reason that it is best for the concubines to share a car. But Yao Niang was pregnant and had to take Xiaobao with her, so she bought an extra car.
Seeing that the car was not moving, Concubine Liu raised the curtain and asked the maid outside.
When the maid who followed the car went to the front of the motorcade and asked the maid next to the princess, she found out that Prince Jin had not arrived. Not only Prince Jin had not arrived, but Concubine Su had not arrived either.
Concubine Xu, who was dressed in a concubine's crown, looked at her slender jade fingers painted with khaodan and said: "This one is getting more and more assertive now. Not only does the princess wait, but we also have to wait. So A large group of people are waiting for her, and I don’t know if she can bear it."
Liu Fangfei didn't want to talk to Xu Fangfei, but she started packing before dawn. Tianma went out and got in the car at dawn. Now that it was already bright and she still couldn't leave, she felt particularly impatient.
"If Concubine Xu is dissatisfied, just talk to the princess, His Highness and the Holy One. Who made her a concubine conferred by the Holy One and gave birth to the only son in the palace." After all, it's not that I don't feel it in my heart. It came out with some sour taste.
They are also concubines. Concubine Xu and Concubine Liu are under the imperial edict of the Queen, but Yao Niang is under the imperial edict of Emperor Hongjing, so they are naturally a bit shorter.
"Yeah, who let..."
Just as she was talking, there was a movement outside. Concubine Xu lifted the car curtain and saw two people walking out of the front door.
One of them is the King of Jin, who is dressed in the standard prince's crown uniform, and is indescribably handsome and majestic. The other is Yao Niang, who is wearing the regular clothes of a concubine.
I saw her wearing a red sulu jacket with hundreds of flowers embroidered on the front, and a sapphire blue embroidered Luan pattern ruffled horse-faced skirt. She wears a gold silk hairpin on her head, with red gold hairpins inlaid with Luanfeng, peonies and jewels inserted into it, and red gold silk tassels on her temples to cover her temples. She is obviously pregnant with Liujia, but she doesn't hide her charm. She is as red as white. At first glance, she is a typical example of physical and mental comfort and good complexion.
Yao Niang was helped onto the carriage, and then King Jin got into his carriage. Not long after, the motorcade's honor guard slowly moved forward towards the direction of the palace.
At the same time, there were countless long dragons from all over the capital heading towards the palace.
As expected, it was really late, and the motorcade was forced to stop when it reached Daqianmen.
Looking forward, there were countless cars in front of me, and there was a long queue.
Fortunately, there were guards stationed today. A general came after receiving the news and began to instruct his men to let the cars in front of them give way. A lane was vacated in the middle of the road, and the people from the Jin Palace were able to continue. Go forward.
We arrived at Donghua Gate. Various treasure cars and ceremonial guards were parked in the square in front of the gate. King An and King Dai had already entered. At this time, King Yong was entering. King Jin was ranked fifth, so even though he came It was late, but I still jumped in line and got to the front. King Lu got out of the carriage, shook the whip in his hand angrily, and then returned to the carriage.
When getting out of the car, King Jin stopped and waited for Princess Jin and others to come behind him, then turned around and said: "She is pregnant, please take more care of her."
This was said to Princess Jin. Princess Jin nodded respectfully, but her hands under her sleeves were clenched into fists.
No matter how stupid Yao Niang is, she still feels that what Prince Jin said is a bit out of place. She is not a child. There are many people in the palace today. At worst, she will hide away. There is no need for Princess Jin to take care of her. This is not obvious. It's hard to find people.
But she would definitely not speak on such an occasion, so she could only remain silent.
The King of Jin glanced at her, then at Yu Chan, and a man dressed as a **** following Yu Chan, before he straightened his face and solemnly walked to the main entrance of Donghua Gate.
Prince Jin can go through the central doorway, but Princess Jin and others can only go through the side door. According to convention, Donghua Gate is for the prince, prince and other pavilion elders to enter and exit, but today is different from the past, and women's family members can also leave.
After leaving Donghua Gate, Prince Jin was nowhere to be seen. Yao Niang silently followed Princess Jin all the way. She was followed by Yuchan and a little eunuch, who was holding Xiaobao in his arms.
Not far behind her were Concubine Xu and Concubine Liu.
Princess Jin's steps were a little hurried, as if she was in a hurry to go somewhere, so Yao Niang could only hold her belly with one hand and follow her closely. The walk was very strenuous, but it was not uncomfortable at all. Fortunately, she was not wearing a uniform today, otherwise she would have collapsed with such heavy clothes on her body.
Hurrying slowly all the way, we finally arrived in front of Kunning Palace.
Princess Jin stopped just now and said to Yao Niang apologetically: "Concubine Su is probably tired. We are already late. If we are late again, I am afraid the empress will be displeased."
Somehow, Yao Niang thought of the fact that the princesses had arrived before, but she and Prince Jin were late.
The princess is saying, even if you feel uncomfortable, you will bear it. Who told you to come late, and you will suffer it yourself.
Obviously the princess's expression and words did not express this meaning, but Yao Niang read it differently. It's probably because I saw many princesses in my previous life who didn't mean what they said. In this life, when I think about it again and again, I always get more unusual feelings.
Yao Niang was already panting and blushing, but she shook her head: "I'm fine, business is more important."
There was an almost invisible sneer coming from behind, but it was Concubine Xu laughing for some reason. Yao Niang turned a deaf ear and lowered her head. Princess Jin had a smile on her face, but her eyebrows furrowed almost unnoticeably.
After being announced and entering the palace, everyone who was supposed to be there was indeed there.
The prince, Prince An and other female family members of the palace are all here, and the formation is even greater than when Yao Niang entered the palace last time.
"I thought you were delayed by something." The Crown Princess said with a smile.
Princess Jin stepped forward and first apologized, then explained. Although Yao Niang was not mentioned a word inside or outside the words. But when she spoke, she glanced at Yao Niang subconsciously. Everyone present was a human being, so they naturally understood what she meant.
It turns out that it was because the concubine of King Jin who was legitimately doted on was putting on airs because of her belly, so the female family members of King Jin's palace arrived late.
Empress Wei pretended not to hear what she meant and looked at Yao Niang with a smile: "What's wrong with Concubine Su? Look at you breathing like this."
Princess Jin also looked back at Yao Niang: "Concubine Su, are you okay? I was the one who rushed to Kunning Palace in a hurry, but I didn't care that you were pregnant."
Princess Jin's face was worried, but there was a hint of ambiguity in her eyes.
In the past, she had laid a hidden clue that Yao Niang was pampered and arrogant. It would be better if Yao Niang was sensible, but if she was not sensible enough to complain, she would definitely leave a reputation of being domineering. She was determined to make Yao Niang speechless and complain.
A flash of anger flashed in Xiaobao's eyes, and just as he was about to say something, he heard his mother say: "Thank you, Queen, thank you for your concern, Mrs. Yao is fine. Ms. Yao was originally from a humble background. When she was pregnant with Xiaobao, I can still carry water, cook, and wash clothes, but it’s just a quick step, nothing serious.”
On the surface, Yao Niang is looking down on herself, but there are many meanings in her words. She was able to cook and wash clothes when she was pregnant with her first child. She must not be a squeamish person, and naturally there was no hidden arrogance from Princess Jin. It also pointed out that Princess Jin deliberately made things difficult for her, a pregnant woman, by asking her to chase her from behind.
It is not a rare thing for a big woman to make things difficult for a young woman, covertly or overtly. It doesn't happen in any house. But this is Kunning Palace, a royal place where dignity is important, and today is the Longevity Festival. No matter what, such trivial matters should not come here. In particular, the royal family attaches great importance to heirs. Even if Queen Wei does not value the child in Yao Niang's belly, she must not show it like this on her face.
Queen Wei looked distressed and waved to Yao Niang. When she came closer, he took her hand and said: "What a pitiful person. I have also heard from the Holy One about your matter. It was King Jin who wronged you mother and son. Fortunately, the emperor has lived up to his wishes. After all, father and son are reunited." ."
Yao Niang lowered her head in shyness.
"He is shy, not squeamish, and he is well-behaved."
After Empress Wei said so, all the princesses naturally wanted to echo her words.
Empress Wei did not say anything wrong with Princess Jin, either inside or outside her words, but this behavior obviously damaged Princess Jin's face. He was pitiful and squeamish, and he didn't clearly reject what Princess Jin had said before.
Princess Jin’s face was hard to distinguish, with a slight smile on her face, but a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. Fortunately, Queen Wei stopped talking and quickly skipped it and talked about today's events.
Today is the birthday of Emperor Hongjing, and it is also a good day for everyone to celebrate. Emperor Hongjing held a banquet in the palace to entertain the princes, nobles, civil and military officials, and many foreign envoys. Naturally, these people couldn't just come by themselves. They must have brought their own women. These women would need to be entertained by the Queen.
But there is only one queen, so it is inevitable that there will be oversights. As the prince and concubine, she naturally has to help deal with it.
They don't have to do any work, they just help and look after everything, so as not to make any ridiculous mistakes or other accidents. Every time there is a grand ceremony in the palace, these are common practices, and the princesses are not unfamiliar with them.
As for Yao Niang, she was pregnant with Liujia and could not help much, so she was naturally ignored.
*
The banquets of the former dynasty were held in the Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall and Baohe Hall, while the banquets of the later dynasty were held in the Jiaotai Hall and Kunning Palace.
It started at si o'clock and didn't end until nearly dusk.
There is nothing wrong with Yao Niang here. She only needs to follow the large army. Because she was pregnant with Liujia, Empress Wei specially ordered the palace maid to prepare a palace for her to rest temporarily when she was tired. .
But after all, she was in the public eye and it was hard to show off too much. She often took Xiaobao to rest for a while and then went out again. Generally speaking, nothing went wrong.
During this period, Yaoniang met someone, the princess of Prince Qing.
For some reason, Princess Qing was particularly enthusiastic towards Yao Niang and took the initiative to come over to talk to her. Generally speaking, the princess looks for the princess, and the concubine looks for the concubine. There will be no confusion. Princess Keqing, a princess, came to get close to Yao Niang, a concubine.
Later Yaoniang heard Princess Qing say that she was very good with Prince Jin when Prince Qing was still in Beijing, and she realized that Prince Jin must have specially arranged it. She was probably afraid that no one would pay attention to her and she would be embarrassed.
Princess Qing's surname is Xiao. She is pretty and delicate. She has a three-year-old brother. If nothing happens, this brother will be the eldest son of Prince Qing's palace. Brother Yan is an introverted and shy child. Unlike other children of the same age who always make noises and play around, he sits quietly next to his mother.
Xiaobao is also very quiet.
Putting the two of them together can be fun. Brother Yan takes good care of his little brother and even takes the initiative to give his tumbler to Xiaobao to play with.
"I tell you, there are many people here, so he is a little afraid of strangers. If he were in the mansion, he would have been extremely angry." Seeing Yao Niang praising Brother Yan for his obedience, Princess Qing sounded slightly disgusted. But looking at her smiling face, you knew that she didn't mean what she said. Mothers like to hear people praise their children for being well-behaved.
"Xiaobao is the same, he behaves when surrounded by people. If he is in the house, he is also very naughty. You don't know, I got a kitten from nowhere recently, and I have to ask the girl to make clothes for the kitten every day. ..."
Unfortunately, Huahua doesn’t like to wear the clothes she made, so she can only make toys for Huahua to play with.
"Cat? You can't catch children, can you?"
"That's not true. That cat is very well-behaved. He is still a little kitten. His teeth and claws have not yet grown fully. He is only allowed to play for a while every day..."
There are always countless things to say when mothers are sitting together. The two mothers are talking here, and Brother Yan and Xiaobao are playing with a tumbler on the couch over there.
Actually, Xiaobao was listening to the conversation between Yao Niang and Princess Qing with his ears straightened up. From time to time, he used his fingers to fiddle with the tumbler to coax Brother Yan.
The two brothers completely misunderstood each other. Brother Yan let his younger brother play, and always pushed the roly-poly back when Xiaobao pushed it. Xiaobao thought that Brother Yan wanted to play with him, so he fiddled with it out of boredom.
Brother Yan is really well-behaved. He doesn't make any noise or make a fuss, and just watches Xiaobao play.
What a good-looking boy he is, and he is also handsome. He is completely different from the rugged-looking boy who wielded swords and swords in Prince Qing's mansion many years later. Xiao Bao, who was obviously still a milk baby, let out a sigh in his heart that was not appropriate for his age.
Seeing that it was almost time, Yao Niang and Princess Qing packed up and planned to go out.
The banquet was held from morning to night. After the banquet, there were entertainment programs, and there were plays on several stages in the palace.
According to their status, Princess Qing and Yao Niang should go to Changyin Pavilion, because Changyin Pavilion is some distance away from Jiaotai Hall. When they arrived, the Yueshi Tower and the surrounding towers were already full of people.
On the second floor of the building on the east side, seats were reserved for the family members of several princes, and the two of them quietly went up to the second floor.
Princess Qing is a princess, and whether she comes early or late is the business of Prince Qing's palace. But Yao Niang was different. Princess Jin had been here for a while, and Concubine Xu and Concubine Liu had also arrived long ago.
Princess Jin glanced at Yaoniang and said: "Sit down quickly, I'm waiting for you."
Yao Niang blushed and was about to say something. Princess Qing next to her smiled and said to Princess Jin: "Don't be surprised, Fifth Sister-in-law. I was the one who delayed Fifth Sister-in-law."
This made Princess Jin find it hard to accept what she said. She had no intention of doing anything to Yao Niang, but it was just a subconscious comment. I didn't expect that Su Yaoniang was also capable. It only took a while for her to become so familiar with Princess Qing.
My fifth sister-in-law!
Princess Jin exchanged greetings with Princess Qing with a smile, and let the matter be forgotten.
Yao Niang sat down on the armchair next to her and gave Xiao Baodan a separate seat. Next to her, Yu Chan and the little **** stood on one side.
"Peace in the Four Seas" is being played on the stage. Yao Niang has never seen such a play before, but she only thinks that the play looks dazzling.
As I watched, there was a movement on the second floor of the main building to the north named ‘Yueshi Building’.
The author has something to say: This chapter is very fat, almost two chapters in length.
Every time I have a big fat chapter, I can shamelessly ask for harvest and nutrient solution.
