Chapter 105 Palace Banquet
Xiaoman and Qingyu looked blankly, looking at Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, not knowing what happened, while Qian Jiujiu looked at Qingyu.
"Okay, Qingyu, you can send Xiaoman back, and then all four of you will come here, the princess has something to tell."
When Qingyu heard Qian Jiujiu's words, of course she immediately followed suit: "Your maidservant is going now."
An hour later, the four maids stood in front of Qian Jiujiu, looking at Qian Jiujiu curiously, not knowing what Qian Jiujiu was going to announce.
Seeing the curious eyes of several people, Qian Jiujiu couldn't help coughing twice: "The princess has something to announce. Eight months later, you will have a little master."
When the four servant girls heard this, their eyes lit up immediately, looking at Qian Jiujiu's belly, the eight eyes were shining brightly, Hong Ling looked at Qian Jiujiu.
"Princess, this is a great thing. Shall we report to the palace?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "You don't need it, I told you about this just to let you think of an idea to help my concubine hide this matter, after all, this concubine can't take her own children to take risks."
Hearing Qian Jiujiu's words, the four maidservants immediately understood that if the people from the third prince's side knew that the master was pregnant, those attacks would definitely be directed at the master.
In this way, the master's side will be much more dangerous. Thinking of this, several people began to think, how to hide this matter?
Qinglian looked at Qian Jiujiu: "I don't know how long the princess is going to keep this matter a secret?"
Qian Jiujiu was stunned for a moment: "Actually, it doesn't take long, seven or eight months is fine. If possible, it's best to hide it until the time of birth."
The corner of Qinglian's mouth twitched, how could this be possible? Qian Jiujiu looked at a few people, and smiled: "I have an idea, and that is the clothes of this princess in the future."
"It should be wide, preferably one that can cover the stomach."
The eyes of the maidservants lit up, and the red chip immediately stood up: "Let this matter be handled by the servant girl, and the servant girl will definitely be able to handle it well."
Qian Jiujiu nodded; "Okay, my princess has told you all the news, don't make trouble for me regardless of you, after you go out, just pretend you don't know about it."
"What it was like before, is what it is now, you know? Don't let people see it."
Hong Ling and the others nodded and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "I understand."
But the housekeeper came in at this time and looked at Mu Yexiao: "My lord, there is news from the palace. There will be a palace banquet tonight, and the queen mother is going to clean up the dust. I want you and the princess to enter the palace."
Mu Yexiao snorted coldly: "Send a message to the palace. The princess is sick and cannot enter the palace. This king wants to accompany the princess, so I don't have time."
The housekeeper froze for a moment, is it really okay to be so direct? But the butler felt that he was just a servant, since the prince had ordered, then he had no choice but to follow through.
The news was soon sent to the palace. When the queen received the news, she was stunned for a moment. It seems that the queen mother's behavior today really made Mu Yexiao and her divorced.
She felt a little unexplainable discomfort in her heart, of course she knew the reason, and sighed in her heart, she was naturally unwilling to force Mu Yexiao.
And looking at the Queen Mother's attitude towards Qian Yuge today, I also know that Qian Yuge must be one of the focuses of today's palace banquet, and it would be good if Xiao'er didn't come.
The queen thought so, so she didn't have any complaints. She just worked hard and started preparing for the palace banquet tonight. The preparations for the palace banquet tonight are still very rich.
All the high-ranking wives came, and the whole palace was filled to the brim. Seeing so many people, the Empress Dowager was naturally satisfied in her heart, at this moment.
The third prince Mu Yecheng, who had been neglected all this time, also appeared, came to the queen mother, looked at the queen mother: "Grandson pays respects to the emperor's grandmother, and welcomes the emperor's grandmother back to the palace."
The queen mother looked at Mu Yecheng; "It's Sheng'er, get up quickly, why is it only you? Xiao'er, where is Xing'er?"
Mu Yecheng blinked his eyes: "Grandson doesn't know, grandson just heard that your grandmother is back, so he came here happily, and he doesn't know what the younger brothers are doing."
He said so on his mouth, but he snorted coldly in his heart, thinking about who was wrong, actually thinking about a fool, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he also watched Qian Yuge beside the queen mother.
I couldn't help being a little puzzled, why did Qian Yuge get involved with the Queen Mother? Don't know what to do? But at this time, almost everyone has come, only a few princes are missing.
Among the several princes, only Mu Yecheng came, and the queen mother looked at the queen with some displeasure: "Queen, what's going on? Why is only Sheng'er here?"
The queen smiled wryly in her heart. On such an occasion, everyone knew that Mu Yexing was stupid, so it was naturally not suitable to come, and there was another Mu Yezhe who was not in the capital at all.
"After returning to mother, Concubine Xiao was ill, King Xiao will not enter the palace tonight, Xing'er is not suitable to enter the palace, and Zhe'er is not in the capital."
When Tianhua heard this, King Xiao's behavior was not happy, and he knew in his heart that Mu Yexing was saving his own face, and he must be angry with her because her mother and concubine were locked up today!
He snorted: "If you don't come, don't come, anyway, if you come, you won't say nice things."
The Queen's eyes flickered, and she smiled wryly in her heart. The Queen Mother didn't care about other people anymore. Seeing that the people were almost here, she was ready to get straight to the point.
"Since everyone is here, Ai's family wants to take advantage of everyone's announcement today. When Ai's family was in Dahongbao Temple, an accident happened. It was Qian Yuge, the daughter of Qian Shangshu, who saved Ai's family."
"Yuge is a good girl, so the Ai family wants to repay her, and Qian Yuge listens to her."
Qian Yuge knelt down on the ground at once, and heard the queen mother say: "The daughter of Qian Shangshu's concubine, Qian Yuge, is virtuous and graceful, and she is really a role model for women."
"Today I bestow upon Qian Yuge to marry the third prince, Mu Yecheng, as his wife."
Qian Yuge immediately bowed his head to thank: "My daughter, I thank the Queen Mother for her kindness. The Queen Mother is a thousand years old."
If everyone still doesn't understand that the palace banquet tonight is actually specially held for Qian Yuge and the third prince, then they are idiots.
No wonder King Xiao and Concubine Xiao didn't come to participate. It's hard to see their enemies so carefree.
When the emperor and empress heard the decree, they also looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't know anything about this matter, and the expressions of both of them were not very good.
Concubine Xian was so happy, the power behind Qian Yuge was the representative of the Wang family, she had always been satisfied with Qian Yuge being her daughter-in-law, that was the idea.
I didn't expect that the queen mother, an old witch, would have a day of doing good deeds. Thinking of this, I was immediately elated.
After the announcement of this matter, the entire palace banquet reached a climax. Many people congratulated Qian Shangshu and his two daughters for marrying the two princes respectively.
They are all princes who are likely to win the throne. No matter which prince takes the throne, Qian Shangshu will be a national battle. How can this not make people jealous?
But Qian Shangshu was looking at the emperor's face all the time, seeing the emperor's expression is not good, how dare he make such a success tonight, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
So much so that Qian Shangshu is the most honest person tonight, and there is one person who is not happy and that is the third prince Mu Yecheng, after knowing Qian Jiujiu's inborn phoenix fate.
He regarded Qian Jiujiu as his woman, but now she is being fostered in the home of the 'disabled' Mu Yexiao, and now his princess concubine is someone who wants to occupy it.
This made Mu Yecheng a little unhappy, but he couldn't show it on this occasion. What's more, he was still very moved by the Wang family behind Qian Yuge.
If the Wang family can be used by him, then the Ren family will no longer be a threat, and he can directly take over. After all, someone who has both literature and military skills, what else is he afraid of?
Just looking at his father's expression, the third prince Mu Yecheng couldn't understand, but at this moment the emperor was angry in his heart, knowing what he was guarding against.
His mother is making arrangements, what's going on? The queen glanced at the emperor: "The emperor..."
The queen was reminding the emperor not to look so ugly at this time, the emperor also understood what the queen meant, glanced at the queen, and was about to say something.
Seeing Concubine Xian coming, Concubine Xian looked at the Queen and the Emperor with some complacency in her eyes: "Your Majesty, do you think Sheng'er and Yu Ge are very suitable?"
The emperor suddenly felt that he was breathless in his heart, but he still pretended to be very pleased: "It's a good match."
Concubine Xian smiled contentedly; "Yes, I have always felt that Yu Ge and my Sheng'er are the most suitable, and this is all thanks to the Empress Dowager for making it happen."
The emperor suddenly felt that his heart was hit hard again, seeing everyone in the field congratulating Qian Yuge and Mu Yecheng, he suddenly felt that tonight's palace banquet was a bit boring.
Glancing at the queen, she said, "Queen, I'm really tired. You can host me. I will rest in the Summer Palace tonight."
After finishing speaking, the emperor stood up and left. The empress opened her mouth a bit, wanting to say that the emperor should go to the Xianfei Palace tonight, but at this time, she went to the Yihe Palace.
Have you forgotten that Imperial Concubine Qing is still in confinement! You actually went to spend the night in her palace, aren't you afraid that the queen mother will make trouble for you?
With a sigh, the queen mother over there finally saw the emperor leaving, and immediately frowned; "Nurse, go and see, the palace banquet is not over yet, where is the emperor going?"
The nanny came to the queen's side and asked, and the harem didn't intend to hide it, because it couldn't be concealed: "The emperor is driving the Summer Palace."
Mammy was stunned for a moment, the queen's tone was a bit bad, was it for them or the one from the Summer Palace? Thinking of this, Mammy saluted the queen.
"The servant girl left and went to report to the Queen Mother."
