Ever since Tang Wan became pregnant, Xuanyuan Che has paid special attention to every aspect of her life, and even wanted to feed her meals himself.
Tang Wan was like a hot commodity. Everyone knew that Xuanyuan Che doted on her, so they all begged people to serve her.
After Tang Wan sat in bed to stabilize her fetus, there were less than three days left before the New Year's Eve dinner. Because she was pregnant, Xuanyuan Che did not allow her to wear heavy jewelry. However, the clothes and jewelry she wore were worth ten pieces of jewelry and were of excellent quality.
The clothes were also prepared according to the style of the imperial concubine, which showed great care. All the concubines were envious, but they did not know that Tang Wan was pregnant. They just thought that she had used some seductive tricks to make the emperor love her so much.
They wanted to go to the Queen Mother to complain, but she closed the door and refused to see them, saying that she wanted to pray for someone. They were rejected many times, but they could do nothing about it, because Xuanyuan Che liked her.
Xuanyuan Che's temper has become better and better over the past month. He plans to be a kind father, so he practiced in advance.
But who would have thought that there was someone who was ignorant of the danger and wanted to put himself in danger, wanting him to adopt King Ping's child.
Xuanyuan Che was rarely angry. The person who said this and those who responded were all stripped of their official positions. The leader had his property confiscated and was exiled.
The people in the court were in a panic for a while, feeling that Xuanyuan Che was even more terrifying now than before.
But they didn't know that Xuanyuan Che originally planned to kill them all to save trouble, but when he remembered what the person in the dream said, that he had committed too much killing and it would affect the fate of his partner, he forced himself to hold back.
In this way, time passed quickly and soon it was New Year's Eve. Xuanyuan Che took into consideration that Tang Wan was pregnant, so the palace banquet was organized by Concubine Liang.
Important officials and concubines in the court all came to attend the banquet, and most of the female members were not dressed very outstandingly.
I heard that His Majesty has a favorite concubine, and they are afraid of stealing her limelight and being retaliated against, which would be more trouble than gain.
After everyone was seated, Xuanyuan Che walked slowly into the hall with Tang Wan.
Everyone looked at them and saw Xuanyuan Che carefully holding the hand of a stunningly beautiful woman. The woman was wearing an agate-red brocade gown and a gold-embroidered cloak of the same color. The ruby headpiece on her head made her skin look as white as snow and her eyebrows and eyes look as beautiful as a painting.
Who in the room hadn't seen a beauty? But this beauty was truly rare in the world, with a unique aura, like a goddess from the Ninth Heaven. Yet, there was a touch of tenderness in her features, adding a touch of worldly grace to her.
No wonder His Majesty dotes on her so much that he is not hesitant to offend the Prime Minister. The female relatives present also feel a little ashamed. Look, they are afraid of stealing her limelight. She is so beautiful like a fairy, how can such mortals like them easily steal her limelight?
Xuanyuan Che ignored all this and took Tang Wan to sit down. He sat in the main seat, Tang Wan sat beside him, and the empress dowager sat on the other side of him.
Originally, the seat where Tang Wan sat should have belonged to the queen. Even the imperial concubine at that time had never sat in this seat.
Originally, this was an extremely unruly behavior, but everyone looked at each other, looked at their noses, and decided to control their mouths. After all, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Xuanyuan Che's personality was too changeable, so it was better to keep quiet.
But the Prime Minister couldn't stand it anymore. His daughter was confined and demoted. The Emperor said she had offended someone, but who exactly? Could it be this so-called virtuous concubine?!
His daughter is a noble concubine. Since there is no empress in the palace, his daughter is naturally the most honorable person. How can it be considered an offense to this virtuous concubine?
In fact, he didn't love his daughter that much. He just couldn't stand his face being stepped on, but he knew that this was not a good time to speak.
He could only wait and see what would happen, and when the palace banquet was almost over, he would ask the emperor, "Did he think that there was no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why would he be so disrespectful to him?"
Xuanyuan Che was in a good mood, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had a faint smile on his face today. It was not a fake smile, but a real smile.
He was handsome, so many girls blushed when they looked at him.
An official had the courage to toast him with wine, and he drank it out of courtesy and also gave him some gifts.
As more and more people came to toast him, his face flushed slightly. "Alright, my dear ministers, please stop pouring me wine and just enjoy the show."
The performers who came to the palace were naturally top-notch. Not only were their dances magnificent, but the music they played was also something that had never been heard of before, but was extremely pleasant to the ears.
After the last performance, an envoy boldly presented a dancer to Xuanyuan Che: "Your Majesty, this is the most beautiful and best dancer in Jing State. Now, I present her to you to establish friendly relations between our two countries."
Xuanyuan Che put down the wine glass he was playing with, his expression was dazed, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. The envoy thought that Xuanyuan Che was very satisfied and couldn't help feeling proud in his heart.
The emperor of Dazhao was no more than that, just a lustful man who coveted beauty.
Xuanyuan Che shattered his fantasy the next second. He said nonchalantly, "No need, envoy."
The envoy was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, she is very beautiful and knows a lot of things."
Xuanyuan Che just casually said: "Not even one ten-thousandth of my beloved concubine."
The envoy's face turned pale, but since his country was inferior to the other side in strength, he had no choice but to retreat with his men.
The banquet was gradually coming to an end. Just as the Prime Minister was about to bow and question Xuanyuan Che, Xuanyuan Che suddenly said in a loud voice: "Everyone, on this auspicious day, I want to announce good news."
