Chapter 304 Good Things Happen One After Another

When Rong Yu entered the palace, it was already evening and it was getting dark. He talked to the emperor about some business and then stayed in the palace for dinner.

Nan Xi ate with Qing Huang. After dinner, the mother and daughter went to the garden together. When Rong Yu came back from the palace, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and it was close to midnight.

This day passed like this.

Tonight, the people gathered in the Princess's Mansion were all heavyweights. Although Chu Qing Huang's throne did not require much help from her father and brother, the strong backing behind her determined that her road to becoming an emperor would be extremely smooth.

On July 12, the Princess's birthday banquet was held, and ministers above the third rank could enter the palace to attend the banquet.

The four princes who had been trapped in the palace for several days were finally able to leave the prince's residence and breathe a breath of air freely.

The atmosphere in the palace banquet garden was lively and the banquet was grand.

Two more chairs were set up on the high main platform. Rong Yu and Nan Xi sat side by side on the two chairs on the left side of the imperial desk. His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress sat on the right side. The civil and military officials of Xiqi finally collectively witnessed the style of the former regent and the Empress of Dongling, who were famous all over the world.

The couple may be a hundred years old in total, but they still look stunning.

God has given them too many favors. If they were young people, they would definitely be called God's favorites. Even if the most glorious period has passed, the prosperity they created is still continuing, witnessing the great achievements of these two people that people can't help but admire.

Today, taking advantage of the birthday of the eldest princess, it is actually celebrating the friendly relationship between Xiqi and Dongling. In addition to being grand, the banquet is also particularly noisy and relaxed.

On the long row of seats on the left are Dongling envoys, Xiqi princes and ministers, and on the right are the female relatives headed by Concubine Duan, Concubine Xian, and the eldest princess, and Concubine Ling and Concubine Xuan are also among them.

The red carpet in the middle formed a long and wide stage, and the court dancers entered one after another, dancing with their waists bent.

The atmosphere gradually became more and more lively.

The Emperor of Xiqi took the initiative to raise his glass to drink with Rong Yu, while the Queen smiled and talked to Nan Xi, her words and expressions were warm and sincere, and there was no trace of abnormal emotions.

The ministers of Xiqi and the envoys of Dongling also had a good chat.

The whole banquet looked very noisy and happy, and it was a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

However, after three rounds of wine, the Princess Xuan, who was sitting next to Chu Qinghuang, suddenly vomited and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief in a hurry.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" The maidservant's face changed, and she quickly approached to ask, "Princess--"

Princess Xuan's face was pale, and she frowned. After a long while, she slowly shook her head: "Nothing."

Chu Qinghuang tilted her head to look at her, her eyes thoughtful: "Is my second sister-in-law ill?"

Princess Xuan shook her head and smiled: "I'm fine, Seventh Sister, don't worry."

Prince Xuan was trapped in the palace for several days. Chu Qinghuang has been selected as the crown prince. The enthronement ceremony will be held next month. It is rare that she can still maintain a perfect smile in such an occasion, which shows that she has good self-control.

Chu Qinghuang heard her say that she was fine, so she didn't ask any more questions.

However, after a while, Princess Xuan vomited again. This time the reaction was a little too strong. In a panic, she directly knocked over the teacup on the tea table in front of her, causing a lot of commotion.

The dancers stopped dancing at the same time and turned to look at the seats of the female relatives.

This change was too sudden. The emperor and the queen didn't pay much attention to it. After the dancer stopped, the people in the main seat naturally noticed the abnormality here and turned to look at Princess Xuan.

The emperor's face suddenly darkened: "What's going on?"

Are there any rules for distinguished guests here?

Princess Xuan's face turned pale, and she covered her mouth tightly with a handkerchief. She was about to stand up and kneel down, but she heard the queen suddenly say: "Princess Xuan, are you feeling unwell?"

Princess Xuan looked up at her and nodded gently: "Yes."

As soon as she agreed, she quickly said: "I deserve to die. I disturbed my father and mother's interest and frightened the distinguished guests. I-"

"Princess Xuan didn't mean it." Nan Xi looked at Princess Xuan's pale face and smiled faintly, "If I'm right, the princess should be pregnant."

What?

The ministers were shocked. Princess Xuan is pregnant?

This is great news!

"Quick! Call the imperial physician!" The queen ordered without delay, and could hardly suppress her excitement. "Come here, help Princess Xuan to the attic to rest. You all should serve her carefully, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes."

The maids in Prince Xuan's mansion hurriedly helped Princess Xuan down carefully. The displeasure caused by the original loss of etiquette also dissipated because of the possible happy event, and the emperor's expression seemed to be relaxed.

If she was really pregnant, he would have his first grandson, and he would be happy.

"It would be great if she was really pregnant." Someone at the table said, "This is the emperor's first grandson. Maybe he will have a boy and give birth to the eldest grandson of the royal family."

The speaker may not know it, but the listener has intention.

Isn't this just reminding the emperor that Prince Xuan is the legitimate son of the royal family, and his son is the eldest grandson. If Princess Xuan is really pregnant with a royal child at this time, wouldn't it be a talisman to add to her already legitimate status?

Will the emperor change his mind and make Prince Xuan the crown prince?

"Xiqi has been blessed with good things recently." Nan Xi's face was still gentle, with a faint smile, "First, there were rumors that the princess was the emperor of heaven, the reincarnation of a goddess, and now she has formed an alliance with Dongling, which indicates that Xiqi is about to prosper, and then there is another royal happy event... It seems that even the heavens agree that the princess is the heir, so the auspicious signs from heaven are blessing Xiqi."

The words fell slowly, without any worldly air, as gentle as a bodhisattva who saves all living beings.

The ministers of Xiqi who were secretly thinking about it were speechless.

Just at this moment, a person came in quickly and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, the princess of Shu, Ye Qingcheng, and her husband, Mr. Yun, came together, saying that they were sending birthday gifts to the princess."

The princess of Shu?

Everyone looked at each other.

The emperor was surprised: "Where is he?"

"Outside the inner city gate."

"How can you let the distinguished guest wait outside the gate?" The emperor shouted angrily, "Why don't you invite him over?"

"Yes!" The guards received the order, "I will go right away."
