The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(125)

She suddenly looked at the woman in front of her who was now a mother, and looked at her picturesque eyebrows, almost greedily. Until Queen Wei called her again, "What's wrong with the Jin family, but the Yong family?" Immediately, Queen Wei suddenly smiled: "That's right, I forgot that you two were wearing handkerchiefs when you were in the boudoir."

Princess Jin hurriedly came to her senses and said: "I have lost my decency. I am not in good health. I just fell ill before entering the capital, which worries my mother and the four emperors' sisters-in-law."

Yes, she is her royal sister-in-law, and she is her younger brother and sister-in-law. They are no longer what they were before.

Princess Jin slowly exhaled, suppressed the myriad of clutter in her mind, and said to Princess Yong with a smile: "Sister-in-law of the Fourth Emperor, I haven't seen you for many years, but your style has not diminished."

There was a strange light in Princess Yong's eyes, and she smiled casually: "The fifth younger brother and sister praised me."

"Okay, knowing that you two are in a good relationship, you can't forget about us, right?" Princess An said with a smile, looking at each other and smiling at the sisters-in-law sitting next to her.

Princess Jin looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly gathered her clothes and saluted: "I have met all of you, sisters-in-law."

Princess An, Princess Dai and the Crown Princess all laughed, while Princess Lu and Princess Qing, who had lower teeth than Princess Jin, all laughed. Princess Wu and Princess Wu also stood up one after another and saluted their sister-in-law, Princess Jin, one after another, very warmly.

As for concubines like Concubine Xu, if her own concubine salutes anyone, she will follow behind and salute. No one pays attention anyway, she is just a foil.

As soon as the ceremony was completed, Yao Niang found that she was the youngest here, a concubine, and no matter what else, she was a side concubine. He even hid behind him, hoping that no one would discover him.

But how is it possible?

Firstly, she was the only one with a big belly in this palace; secondly, before arriving, everyone had heard that the King of Jin, who had always been a pure-hearted and unsociable womanizer, finally had an heir, who was born to one of his favorite concubines, and Now the beloved concubine is pregnant with another child.

The King of Jin was famous in the capital for being aloof.

The vassal kings would be ordered to go to the capital every year and a half. Every time they gathered in the capital, King Jin would be mentioned again and again about having no heirs. This year it finally broke through, and it didn't make people look at it.

As soon as the carriage passed through the venue, everyone focused their attention on Yao Niang.

Queen Wei was the first to speak: "She is from Prince Jin's family. Is this the concubine of Prince Jin?"

Princess Jin nodded and said, "If I go back to my mother, it's true that this girl's surname is Su."

Queen Wei nodded and waved to Yao Niang: "Come and have a look at this palace."

So Yao Niang went over.

Queen Wei was very amiable. When she saw her coming, she took her hand and asked some questions.

For example, how old are you? How many months have you been pregnant? How's your pregnancy? Do you like sweet food or spicy food?

Yao Niang was a little nervous at first, but when she heard Queen Wei's question, she suddenly became less nervous.

She originally thought that the empress empress was noble and aloof, but who would have thought that she was no different from the elderly mother-in-law. Whenever she met someone who was pregnant, the older women would follow this routine, and Yao Niang would just answer the questions as usual.

Queen Wei smiled and said to everyone: "She is an honest person."

Everyone just laughed and said nothing. They all knew that what Queen Wei said was just for fun. Seeing that this woman was able to hook Prince Jin and conceive two children in succession, she was not an honest person. She didn't see the other two flankers from Prince Jin's palace next to her. The concubine’s face doesn’t look very good.

Although they are not a family, everyone here is the mistress of the same house, and there are always some shitty things happening in any house. You might say it's not worth mentioning, it's just like the cats and dogs. But if it is really not worth mentioning, the cats and dogs will come into the house and compete with the owner for his job.

Look at this one in front of you. Fortunately, the fifth daughter-in-law could bear it and brought it out herself!

"It's not convenient for you to have a bulging belly. Come here, show Mrs. Su a seat."

After Empress Wei finished speaking, a palace maid brought up a cotton dumpling and placed it a little lower on Princess Jin's side.

For a time, several concubines from other houses, even Concubine Xu and Concubine Liu, cast admiring glances at Yao Niang.

In this hall, except for Queen Wei, only a few princesses had seats, and everyone else was standing.

Yao Niang also knew that she had gone too far in the limelight, but even if the Queen offered her a seat, she would not refuse. He hurriedly thanked Queen Wei, and then sat down next to Princess Jin with his head bowed.

This sounds complicated, but in fact it only happens in a matter of seconds. From Yao Niang's words and deeds after she came in, everyone also came to the conclusion that she was unworthy and petty.

After that, there was a lot of gossip. Queen Wei asked about some trivial matters in each palace, and all the princesses answered respectfully.

When asked about Princess Jin's residence, many people looked at Princess Jin with interesting eyes. His eyes were smiling and kind, but it was because of this that he felt particularly embarrassed.

"I heard that Prince Jin has a concubine's eldest son in his palace. Didn't he bring the child into the palace today?"

"When I return to my mother, Xiaobao has been taken to Qianqing Palace by His Highness."

At the same time, King Jin was carrying Xiaobao to Qianqing Palace.

Fucheng wanted to take it over, but Xiaobao hugged Prince Jin tightly and refused to let him go, so a strange scene happened in the palace today——

King Jin, who was as cold as an iceberg, was holding a small baby in his arms and was unwilling to let go even after entering the palace. Within a short time, the news spread throughout the palace, and everyone said that King Jin had a son.

When King Jin arrived at Qianqing Palace, Prince Edward, King Dai, King An, and King Yong were all there, and even the younger King Lu and King Qing were there.

The summoned King Jin attracted everyone's attention as soon as he stepped through the door.

King Yong is about the same age as King Jin. He has a gentle appearance, with a pair of phoenix eyes that are the hallmark of a Zhao family man. He is full of elegant temperament, calm and calm, and seems to have a smile on his lips even though he is not smiling.

"Fifth brother, it's true. I know that you think about your son day and night. It's not easy to get one, and your love is like a treasure. But a dignified prince comes to the palace to see you and holds a baby in your hand, which is a bit rǔ "It's majestic." King Yong's tone was calm and affectionate. It seemed that the elder brother was resenting his younger brother, but in fact, both of them knew what was going on.

King Yong was always trying to make things difficult for King Jin, and the relationship between the two was not very harmonious ever since they were still in the capital.

In fact, it's not just a lack of harmony, but a mortal enemy. It's just that you can't behave like this in front of Emperor Hongjing.

King Jin ignored him and glanced at Xiaobao, who then let go of his hand. King Jin put him on the ground before saluting Emperor Hongjing who was behind the imperial case.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

Emperor Hongjing nodded and raised his hands, and King Jin stood up.

"Fourth, please don't bury the fifth. You have to understand his fatherly heart. After all, it's his first time being a father. If you let him be a father a few more times, he will probably be able to live normally." It was the second person who spoke. Prince An Wang is in his thirties, with a stocky build, a square face, and long narrow eyes. At first glance, he is the most inconspicuous among the brothers, but no one dares to ignore him.

King An is the most scheming among the brothers and the one who likes to stir up troubled waters. It is not uncommon for him to be tricked by him unintentionally.

"Fifth brother!" King Qing looked at King Jin with excitement. He was twenty-four years old and had been a vassal for only a few years. When he was in Beijing, he had a close relationship with Prince Jin, but now the brothers have not seen each other for more than a year. "Fifth brother, is this your son? How old is he? He looks like you."

Compared with others, King Jin's attitude towards King Qing was obviously gentle: "He is just over a year old and a month old."

"Hey, you are so big at one year old and can still stand so steadily. Fifth Brother, are you lying to your younger brother? It's not like my younger brother has never been a father. When my brother Hong was one year old, he let his nanny hold him He's here. Can the little guy speak? Come and call me, Uncle."

That's it for everyone else. Xiaobao is very familiar with Prince Qing.

And today, he had no intention of hiding anything, so naturally he did not hesitate to show off. He immediately called out "Uncle".

He didn't dare to call the emperor uncle, but he also surprised Prince Qing. He immediately picked him up and said to Prince Jin, Prince An and others, and to Emperor Hongjing: "This little guy is really smart. He can actually do it." Call me uncle."

Only King Jin's face looked a little ugly, and Xiaobao hadn't called him dad yet.

Emperor Hongjing was a little surprised, and his grandson was not unlucky. The eldest grandson is now married. But he has never seen any milk baby who can call someone so early, and he is not unconsciously following the babbling. He had never seen Lao Qi before. It was rare to be able to call someone when Lao Qi asked him to call someone and call him out accurately and clearly.

Originally, I just planned to take a look. As long as it was confirmed that he was a descendant of the Zhao family, the title would naturally be given to him. But now Emperor Hongjing is a little more interested. This kind of interest is extremely rare for him nowadays. Emperor Hongjing is getting older, and government affairs are still complicated day by day. He has long lost the ability to hold the emperor's wife in his arms like he did back then. Sun taught him how to read and practice calligraphy.

Every year, sons would come to see him with their grandchildren, granddaughters, and even great-grandchildren in their arms. Emperor Hongjing could only go through the motions, receiving rewards and gifts that should be given, but no matter how much they were, there would be none. He couldn't even tell the names of his many grandchildren. But today he wanted to take another look at this kid to see if he was really unexpected.

"Lao Qi, bring the child to me for a look."

Emperor Hongjing's voice made everyone look at him sideways. Prince Qing followed the instructions and planned to carry Xiaobao over, but Xiaobao pushed him to attract his attention. Prince Qing looked down at the little baby in his arms, still a little confused, but Prince Jin said from the side: "He wants to go to the ground."

Although King Jin didn't say it, he understood Xiaobao's gestures and language better than people imagined. So just now he carried Xiaobao all the way because Xiaobao wanted him to hold him, and he also wanted to hold Xiaobao.
