Ever since the last time in Jingren Palace, Gong Liangxiu has been telling Qingdai to go for a walk outside after meals.
Qingdai touched her nose in a daze.
I knew he was right. If I continued sleeping, I would soon sleep like a pig.
I only know how to eat and sleep, sleep and eat.
"Your Majesty, there's a banquet being held at Taihe Palace tonight. His Majesty has sent someone to pick you up, and has also instructed that he accompany you for a walk outside after the banquet."
Suoxin came in to report.
Qingdai thought about her promise to Gong Liangxiu to go out more often, so she nodded.
"Then go now."
A night banquet was held in the palace, and the concubines finally saw the imperial concubine who had been kept in the golden house by His Majesty for more than a month.
Concubine Zhuang saw Qingdai sitting in His Majesty's arms at a glance.
Her face is the most beautiful among all the beauties, and even when she is pregnant, her figure is still as graceful as a willow...
Seeing such a beautiful appearance made Concubine Zhuang furious.
Wasn't she the daughter of a rural county magistrate? How could she be so stunningly beautiful?
This appearance and temperament are exactly the same as those of the ladies raised in Jinling!
Concubine Zhuang originally thought that His Majesty was attracted to the baby in her belly, but now it seems that he was just bewitched by her coquettish appearance.
After seeing Qingdai's appearance with her own eyes, Concubine Zhuang felt an even greater sense of crisis.
The more hatred she felt in her heart, the more she looked forward to what would happen next.
After waiting for this vixen for a month, I finally waited for her to leave Jingren Palace. Today is the perfect day to make my move as there are many people around.
With such a charming appearance, Concubine Zhuang didn't want to see the child being born in this world for even a moment!
Qingdai was held in Gong Liangxiu's arms, and looking at the table full of delicious food, she felt her appetite was aroused.
Her eyes fell on a dish of four-happiness meatballs.
Gong Liangxiu couldn't help but smile when he saw her greedy look.
He took the chopsticks and put the four-happiness meatballs into his own bowl, eating one slowly.
Qingdai glared at him.
Don't think she didn't know. Gong Liangxiu's chopsticks were originally intended to reach for the crystal dragon and phoenix cake, but they turned a corner in the middle and went to the four-happiness meatballs.
In that case...
Qingdai is in a playful mood.
"Your Majesty, today I have prepared a phoenix marrow lotus seed soup. Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs recently, so I specially brought it to you to nourish your body."
In the middle of the main hall, there was the sound of stringed instruments and beautiful music.
Concubine Jiang had specially trained a group of dancers for tonight, who were now dancing gracefully with their skirts fluttering.
She looked at His Majesty, but found that His Majesty's attention was not on these things at all.
Then he spoke quickly, trying to attract His Majesty's attention.
Gong Liangxiu actually didn't notice anything around him just now.
He only saw a cunning look flash in Qingdai's eyes, and then she slowly reached out and took the banana on the table.
Gong Liangxiu's expression suddenly changed.
Qingdai tidied her hair and held a banana in her delicate hands.
Feeling the man's breathing beside her suddenly become heavier, she curled her lips secretly and deliberately slowed down her eating movements.
The bite was very slow, and Qingdai didn't take it down for a long time.
"...Yeah, well done."
Gong Liangxiu suddenly hugged Qingdai's waist tightly, pressed her into his hot chest, and used the desk to cover up the hot sensation.
Jiang Zhaoyi was asking His Majesty if he was willing to drink her porridge, but His Majesty only said to her, "Well done."
Xiao Luzi, who was listening at the side, knew very well that His Majesty's attention was not on Empress Zhaoyi at all.
He bent down and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Zhaoyi has made some porridge. Would Your Majesty like to try it?"
Concubine Jiang looked embarrassed, and several concubines nearby saw it and knew that the emperor was absent-minded.
Gong Liangxiu suddenly came back to his senses.
"...I appreciate Zhaoyi's kindness. I will serve a bowl to everyone present."
Jiang Zhaoyi's face froze, and she answered "yes" reluctantly, then ordered the palace maid to bring it.
Gong Liangxiu stroked Qingdai's waist impatiently, trying to ask her to be more obedient.
Qingdai acted as if she didn't feel anything but insisted on teasing him, and reached out her chopsticks to pick up a four-happiness meatball.
He scooped up the meatball with a spoon, licked it deliberately, and then took a bite.
Gong Liangxiu's eyes were filled with anger, and he could no longer hold back and grabbed Qingdai's hand.
"Bang—"
A palace servant came to His Majesty's table to serve the dishes, but the servant was so shocked that he dropped the phoenix marrow soup in his hand.
Some soup got on Qingdai's skirt, and the servant's face turned pale instantly.
"I am guilty of a thousand crimes, I beg Your Majesty, Your Majesty, to show mercy..."
The slave fell to the ground trembling all over.
Thinking about what I just saw... he knows so much!
Your Majesty has had no children in the harem for many years, and some of them even thought that it was because Your Majesty was no longer strong enough.
But I didn't expect it to be so heated in this hall. This...
The servant recalled the glimpse he had just taken of the imperial concubine, and how His Majesty had held the imperial concubine's hand tightly.
With such a peerless beauty in his arms... no wonder the majestic and stern Majesty couldn't control himself.
Wait... He knows so much, Your Majesty won't kill him, will he? No, no, he didn't see anything just now!
Gong Liangxiu frowned when he saw the dirt on Qingdai's skirt.
Qingdai was also a little embarrassed. Seeing the sternness between Gong Liangxiu's brows, she knew that he was probably angry and embarrassed.
She reached out and tugged at his sleeve, meaning to forget it.
Gong Liangxiu patted the back of her hand and whispered to comfort her: "It's okay, I will take care of it."
He winked at Xiao Luzi, who immediately understood and quietly helped the little servant.
"What are you doing? Why don't you apologize to the Imperial Concubine?"
The servant was also smart and knew that the chief steward was hinting that the imperial concubine was the key.
He immediately stepped aside and said respectfully to Qing Dai, "I have soiled the hem of your majesty's clothes. I deserve death. Please punish me, majesty."
Gong Liangxiu's expression looked better now.
Qingdai felt a little amused when she saw that he had almost calmed down.
After all, it was his own fault and had nothing to do with the poor eunuch.
So Qingdai said, "Forget it, go down."
"Thank you, Madam."
Jiang Zhaoyi's expression was so ugly that it could not be described.
She had originally ordered that little servant to serve the phoenix marrow and lotus seed soup to His Majesty.
As a result, the impatient servant not only knocked over the porridge she had specially prepared, but also begged for mercy from Qingdai!
Jiang Zhaoyi was also used to a life of luxury. She considered herself a wealthy and powerful woman and looked down upon Qingdai, the daughter of a county magistrate.
It was just because of a woman's jealousy that Jiang Zhaoyi couldn't stand Qingdai anymore!
If it weren't for her, how could His Majesty ignore me... and the child in her belly...
Jiang Zhaoyi secretly wished that something unexpected would happen to her and that she would lose the child!
At this moment, the dancers all stopped what they were doing, and red lotuses flew out of their sleeves. No one knew what was painted on them, and the whole hall was suddenly filled with smoke.
It was like a dream, just like Concubine Xiangxiang in the fairyland.
Qingdai smelled something in a trance...and her mind suddenly became clear!
