[Langya Bang] Qi Ye Zhenzhen

The heavy rain after the Mid-Autumn Festival is the best way to wash away the heat. After a few days of rain, the hot summer gradually fades away, and the air in the morning and evening is already very cool.

Yan Zhen prepared new clothes for the children in the mansion, those orphans left after the war were still housed in Prince Jing's mansion, and she did not forget to ask someone to send the new clothes there.

On weekdays, she raised her baby in the East Palace with peace of mind. Apart from receiving the necessary information, she lived a leisurely life.

The entire government and the public were calm under the prince's supervision, and everything was as usual, only the Ministry of Rites was a little busy preparing for the emperor's birthday ceremony.Except for a few courtiers and clan who were trusted by Xiao Jingyan, no one knew that a storm that had been brewing for a long time was coming.

And the day finally came.

The morning of August [-]th.The Changxin Palace, where the Prince lives daily, became busy.

Xiao Jingyan got up very early.This day is earlier today, and the sky is just bright after morning exercise and bathing.After Yan Zhen personally took care of the whole crown, he calmed down his slightly faster heartbeat, and said: "Thank you. These days, you have worked hard while pregnant."

Yan Zhen lowered her eyes and smiled, and said lightly, "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Jingyan is not used to being served by maids, and there are only the husband and wife in the Changxin Hall. He held her hand and touched the baby in his stomach: "You have lost a lot of weight because of this child. No matter how far you go today In such a situation, you don’t need to be afraid, I will protect your mother and child.”

Yan Zhen responded softly, knowing that his heart was agitated, and asked softly: "Shall we have breakfast in the East Palace today, or go in to accompany His Majesty and Concubine Mother to have breakfast together?"

"Please enter the palace."

Yan Zhen immediately ordered a car to be driven, and then went to check the birthday gifts for today in person, and after confirming that everything was in order, she came back in to report to Xiao Jingyan.

When the prince and his wife went out, there were a few noises from the side hall of the East Palace. Xiao Jingyan stopped and frowned, and asked Lie Zhanying beside him, "What's going on?"

Naturally, it was Yan Zhen who answered him. Seeing Zhu Ji nodding to her, she lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "It's nothing. This is Concubine Li who suddenly suffered from hysteria recently. I couldn't stop her all of a sudden. It's okay, I have already invited the imperial physician."

Yan Zhen spoke in a cryptic manner, but Xiao Jingyan could understand that this side concubine Li probably knew something, and Yan Zhen noticed it and locked her up.

For an unfavored side concubine, Xiao Jingyan nodded indifferently: "Since you are sick, you should cultivate yourself well. Now that you are pregnant with a child, you can't rush it. Let her recuperate behind closed doors, and don't come out when she is not well. In case you suffer It's not worth the scare."

Yan Zhen replied yes in a low voice, and never cared about Concubine Li's affairs anymore.

The husband and wife were on the same yellow jade, surrounded by the honor guards of the East Palace, entered the Forbidden Garden, got off the sedan chair at the Danxiu, changed into a chariot, and went straight to the emperor's bedroom.

At this time, Emperor Liang had just got up and washed up with the service of Concubine Jing, when he heard that the prince and his wife came in to say hello, smile lines appeared on his face, and he hurriedly ordered people to come in.

"My sons and wives, please pay respects to my father and emperor, and wish my father and emperor a long life!" Xiao Jingyan and Yan Zhen first paid respects to Emperor Liang three times, then turned to Concubine Jing and kowtowed, "Kowtow to my concubine Jin'an."

"Quickly get down, get down," Emperor Liang raised his hand with a smile, "It's so early, there must be no meal. The place is just right, the luncheon is going to be with the courtiers, it's probably noisy, our family can only be quiet Have breakfast."

"I thank my father for the meal." After Xiao Jingyan thanked him, he sat on the left side of Emperor Liang, and Concubine Jing was on the right. Women's responsibility.

But because of her pregnancy, Concubine Liang Dijing was also very considerate to her, not to mention her husband.

This meal was also eaten happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.With the passage of time, Xiao Jingyan's original anxiety has long been firmly suppressed by himself, especially after seeing the tranquility and stability of his mother and concubine, his determination is even more firm.

After the meal, Emperor Liang asked about a few court affairs, and Xiao Jingyan had expected him to ask, so he answered very smoothly and thoughtfully, which satisfied Emperor Liang, praised him a few words, and ordered someone to play chess with him. .

Halfway through the chess game, when it was hard to tell the winner, Xiao Jingyan suddenly stopped and said, "Father, the time has passed, and all the officials must have arrived, so it's time for Father to drive to the Hall of Martial Arts."

Emperor Liang stared at the chessboard for a while, shook his sleeves and said: "The situation on the board is stalemate, it seems that it will be difficult to end the game for a while, that's all, let's fight again after the ceremony."

Seeing the situation, Gao Zhan hurriedly went out to pass the ride. With the support of Concubine Jing, Emperor Liang got up, changed his clothes, and left the gate of the palace.Just as he was about to board the emperor's chariot, there was a sudden sharp roar from the side door of the hall corridor.

Yan Zhen, who was waiting outside the door, was startled when he heard the voice, Xiao Jingyan put his arms around her waist in a comforting manner, and looked at Yan Zhen with a little concern with lowered eyes, she shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"This... is this... the voice of Concubine Yuexian?" Yan Zhen asked with some uncertainty, and her frantic words came faintly from the side hall.

"I want to see Your Majesty...I have something important...Your Majesty, let go of me...Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You can't go...They have a conspiracy to...Woo..." Something seemed to cover the screaming The person's mouth, followed by a sound of struggle.

"What's going on?" Emperor Liang frowned and asked sharply.

Concubine Jing said indifferently, with no expression on her face: "Concubine Yue has been madly ill for a long time, and it will never be cured. The concubine was not settled properly, which shocked the holy car. Please forgive me."

"Oh, Concubine Yue," Emperor Liang thought for a while, "yes, you told me that her symptoms are not good. Concubine Yue is just too proud to stand a beating. It started from this. She has been in the palace for many years, and I can't bear to see her miserable evening, so you should take care of her more."

Concubine Jing smiled softly and said: "It is the duty of the concubine to take care of the harem by order. Besides, the concubine also has a lot of unbearable things about Concubine Yue, so I try to be as lenient as possible, but I didn't expect to let her intrude. It seems that I still haven't grasped the measure when I came here to disturb you."

Emperor Liang patted the back of her hand to express his relief, and the corridor became quiet at this moment.Amid Gao Zhan's elongated voice of "起--车--", the four people with the highest status in Daliang took two chariots, and Cuihua shook, and went to the Hall of Martial Arts at a leisurely pace. .

Xiao Jingyan and Yan Zhen got on the chariot, he was still uneasy and asked, "It's really all right."

Yan Zhen shook her head, she frowned: "I heard the word conspiracy just now, it doesn't sound like her crazy words. I'm afraid someone told the Yue family the plan? After today, I have to find out this person and keep the boss It's a scourge."

Xiao Jingyan saw that she was still worried about this, so he knew that she was really fine, and raised his hand to touch her belly, which was a little bigger than last month: "I'm waiting four months for the baby to be born, you can be sloppy now." No."

"I'll be sitting next to you in a while, with the personal protection of His Royal Highness, what else matters." Yan Zhen couldn't help teasing Xiao Jingyan, causing him to scratch her nose.

"You are still as naughty as when you were a child."

With Concubine Jing and Yan Zhen, Xiao Jingyan's heart relaxed a lot, and he was able to hold his breath more and more to welcome the coming storm.

The Hall of Martial Arts is coming.

The golden bell rang nine times, and Xiao Jingyan helped Emperor Liang go up the golden steps to take his seat. He stood firmly, and his eyes quickly scanned every corner of the hall.Seeing Mei Changsu sitting next to Mu Qing with a smile, Nihuang still in high spirits, dignified and calm, and Princess Liyang's expression was considered stable, so he felt a little relieved and started officially.

Yan Zhen naturally sat beside Xiao Jingyan. Seeing her calm and peaceful attitude, Xiao Jingyan felt much more at ease. He changed the drink to tea and watched the birthday ceremony quietly.

Except for the reduction of singing and dancing and musical performances, the procedure of the ceremony is not much different from previous years, that is, the relatives and important officials kowtowed and saluted in batches, offered congratulatory speeches, and the emperor rewarded them one by one.Afterwards, the ceremonial official announced the opening of the banquet, and waited for the emperor to order the chopsticks, and the three cups of wine were full.Then the crown prince will lead the clan's favored officials who are qualified to present gifts, one by one, to present their carefully selected and prepared birthday gifts in public.Generally speaking, the whole hall is relatively solemn during worship.But when it comes to presenting the birthday ceremony.The atmosphere in the hall has basically turned brisk, waiting for all the gifts to be displayed in public one by one.Confident courtiers would go to ask for orders, stand on the brocade carpet in the hall, recite their own hymns, win praises with wonderful words or funny jokes, and win the attention of the superiors.According to previous experience, there will be one or two people who stand out on this brocade carpet every year, so everyone is eating and drinking while waiting for who will make a big splash here this year.

"Haha, hahaha, that's considered poetry...haha..." Mu Qing slapped the table and laughed after a minister of the Ministry of Industry finished singing, "Mr. Su, if I want to write such a poem, I will definitely be punished by my master." Take the rattan cane..."

"This poem can make you laugh like this, and it has its own humor. The old masters who taught you really can't write such lively words." Mei Changsu corrected Mu Qing's opinion with a smile, but his eyes were light and light Sweeping towards the front side, the corners of her lips curled slightly, "You, restrain yourself, your sister is looking at you."

What Mu Qing was most afraid of was Nihuang. Seeing her cold eyes drifting over, she immediately stopped laughing and sat upright, looking like a prince.

Yan Zhen couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene, she shifted her gaze, and at the end of her gaze, Princess Liyang, with lowered eyebrows, straightened the cuffs of the plain thin shirt and pulled the black cloud veil half hanging down her face Flicked to the back of her head, her face was pale, but her eyes were serious. Not long after meeting Xiao Jingyan's gaze secretly, she slowly stood up.

And no one noticed her actions.

She lowered her head and took a sip of her tea, looked up at Princess Liyang who was standing on the brocade carpet and was dressed in black, and sighed that she finally came.
