   Chapter 310 Shangyuan

  Emperor Yongjia came out of Yanxi Palace and went to Jiaofang Palace again, trying to appease Queen Qiao: "I have already reprimanded Mrs. Meng, and she knows she is wrong. The Queen is magnanimous, don't care about her."

   Queen Qiao said lightly: "Mengshi's temperament has been endured by the concubine for 20 years, and she is used to it regardless of whether she cares about it. It's just that she should be restrained in her behavior."

   "The concubine said something that shouldn't have been said. Now that she is a grandmother, she is always angry and asks the emperor to go to appease her, and she is not afraid of the jokes of the younger generation."

   "Furthermore, she knows very well what she has done. She should open her mouth to apologize. She fainted as soon as she returned to Yanxi Palace. This is deliberately throwing dirty water on the crown princess!"

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

  Emperor Yongjia became a little embarrassed for no reason, coughed, and said again, "On the Lu family's side, please comfort me."

   As a father-in-law, it is inconvenient to comfort his daughter-in-law in person. In this matter, Queen Qiao has to come forward.

   Queen Qiao made a sarcastic remark and felt a lot more comfortable, and nodded in response. He asked Emperor Yongjia again, "Concubine Meng has to rest for a few days now that she has passed out!"

  Emperor Yongjia was also full of anger in his heart, opened his mouth and said, "After the Shangyuan Festival, let her enter the Jiaofang Hall again to greet her."

   Queen Qiao stopped talking and said with a smile: "Wang Jieyu is pregnant, just when she needs someone to accompany and comfort her. The emperor is free, go see Wang Jieyu!"

  Emperor Yongjia calmed down and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go right now."

   Arriving at Wang Jieyu's bedroom, Wang Jieyu greeted her with a face full of surprise: "Why did the emperor come suddenly? The concubine hasn't had time to dress up. It's really rude to be so plain."

   At the age of seventeen, she is extraordinarily beautiful even without makeup.

  Wang Jieyu has not applied the cream, she is still fair and beautiful, her smile is gentle and pleasant, her black eyes are clear and clean, and her eyes are full of admiration and dependence.

  Emperor Yongjia's heart warmed, and he stretched out his hand to support Wang Jieyu: "You are pregnant, so you don't have to salute."

  Wang Jieyu pursed her lips and smiled and got up.

  Emperor Yongjia took Wang Jieyu's hand and asked about her body. Wang Jieyu replied in a soft voice: "The Queen Mother ordered the imperial doctor to check the pulse of the ministers and concubines every day, and gave a lot of supplements to nourish the body, but I can't finish it until I give birth!"

  Emperor Yongjia smiled and said, "The queen is kind and kind, and I am very relieved to have her take care of you."

   asked Wang Jieyu what she wanted.

  Wang Jieyu thought about it seriously, and said with a smile: "The concubine was originally the daughter of a sinner, and she was favored by the empress. She was fortunate to serve the emperor. Now she is pregnant and everything goes well. There is really nothing to ask for."

  Emperor Yongjia was really moved.

   The concubine in the harem, when she saw him, she couldn't help but invite her favor. Gold, silver, jade, silk, silk and satin are nothing, it's common to want to raise your position, to be pampered, and to outshine other concubines.

  Wang Jieyu, although favored, is very measured, never asks for anything, and is sensible enough to make people feel pitiful.

  Emperor Yongjia's heart involuntarily slanted again.

  …

   Soon, it's Shangyuan Festival.

   There is a lantern market outside the palace, and there are various lanterns in the palace, which is quite lively.

  Queen Joe has been in a good mood recently. The unsightly Meng Shi came out for a spin and was locked in the Yanxi Palace, which made Queen Qiao's mood even better. He deliberately organized the palace banquet for the Shangyuan Festival.

After the    palace banquet, everyone followed the emperor and went to the imperial garden to admire the lanterns.

   In addition to the lanterns made by the concubines and concubines of the palaces, there are more lanterns made by the craftsmen of the Household Affairs Office.

   There are lantern riddles in the lanterns, and you can take the lanterns when you guess them right.

   Several princes showed their skills and won lanterns, either to Queen Qiao or to their own princesses. The one who is most in the limelight today is not Li Jing and Lu Mingyu, but the fourth prince and his wife.

  The newlywed couple are like glue, arm in arm, watching the lanterns and guessing the riddles. The fourth prince won several lanterns, two of which were given to the Queen Mother Zhao, one each for Queen Qiao and Concubine Qin, and the rest were stuffed into Zhao Yu's hands.

   Zhao Yu raised her eyebrows with joy, her pretty face flushing red.

  Lu Mingyu laughed and joked: "This garden full of lanterns is about to be brought to you by the fourth brother."

   It's not that Li Jing doesn't want to guess lantern riddles, but his brother and sister are in his arms. There is really no free time.

   Zhao Yu smiled sweetly in her heart, "Hold Brother Jue to me for a while, and let me feel happy."

   The reason why the fourth prince failed to go out with the army has long been spread throughout the palace. Zhao Yu can't wait to have good news right away. Lu Mingyu laughed, hugged Brother Jue from Li Jinghuai and gave it to Zhao Yu.

   Brother Jue grows heavier and heavier, and wears thicker clothes.

   Zhao Yu was heavy in her arms, reluctant to let go, and smiled and praised Brother Jue: "Brother Jue's eyes are so beautiful, big and bright, and they will definitely be smarter in the future."

  Everyone is happy to hear others praise their children, and Lu Mingyu is not immune to the custom. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I'm also looking forward to what you said."

   Meng Yunluo's stomach has been slightly bulging. Although she doesn't like Lu Mingyu, she is willing to get close to the child, so she leaned over to Zhao Yu and laughed.

  Lu Mingyu frowned slightly and said to Li Jing in a low voice, "You take care of the child, I'll be here in a moment."

  Li Jing smiled and nodded.

   Li Hao, who was not far away, quietly took a few steps back to see where Lu Mingyu was leaving.

  …

   In the northeast corner of the Imperial Garden, there is a small courtyard.

  Lu Mingyu tidyed up his clothes and walked out of the yard after convenience. He met a familiar figure head on.

  Lu Mingyu's expression suddenly turned cold.

  The figure did not approach, and whispered: "I have something to tell you."

  Lu Mingyu said coldly: "Lixia Guatian, my uncle and sister-in-law need to avoid suspicion. If you have anything, ask me in front of your second brother."

   The figure standing not far away is Li Hao.

   Lu Mingyu was accompanied by only Qiyun. Li Hao came alone, not even a servant. He stared at Lu Mingyu with complicated eyes, and his forbearance voice revealed a prayer: "Give me a tea time, and I'll leave when I understand."

  Do you understand?

  How do you want to understand?

  Lu Mingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind.

   She raised the corner of her mouth and smiled sarcastically: "Alright, I'll just listen to what you want to ask."

  Qiyun frowned and whispered, "Niangniang, this is really inappropriate..."

   "You wait first." Lu Mingyu ordered without question, and walked to the nearest bamboo forest. Li Hao followed closely and quickly went to the bamboo forest.

  Qiyun had no choice but to stand outside the bamboo forest, praying secretly in her heart. At this time, don't let anyone come. Otherwise, you can't tell with a long mouth.

  The bamboo leaves had already withered away, and a bunch of bamboos were densely close together, covering the figures of the two of them.

   The palace lantern in the distance was faintly flashing dim light. Lu Mingyu and Li Hao were more than three meters apart, and their faces were dark and unclear.

   "What do you want to ask?" Lu Mingyu asked coldly.
