Chapter 219 You are absolutely right, you deserve a reward!
At the first birthday party, auspicious signs gathered and good omens continued.
Zhang Yunhe and Zhang Yunxi regain their former intelligence, and a strange phenomenon appears from the sky.
Bai Wutong is pregnant with another dragon heir.
Zhang Yunhe was even named the crown prince, and countless magpies came together and circled and danced above the hall.
This first birthday party can be said to be a triple celebration.
Once such a grand event is spread, it is bound to cause a sensation among the people and become a hot topic of discussion on the streets. It is even very likely to be passed down by future generations and become a good story that will be passed down through the ages.
Zhang Chengyan stood in the hall, his face radiant, looking even more handsome and elegant, his posture upright, "Today I am very happy, my dear ministers, please drink to your heart's content! I grant you a three-day rest, and you can come to court to discuss matters after three days!"
As he finished speaking, palace maids dressed in gorgeous clothes filed in, holding exquisite dishes in their hands.
The dishes were beautifully presented and filled with fragrance, and soon filled up table after table.
However, faced with such a table full of delicacies, only a few people have the appetite to enjoy them.
Jin Weige sat at the table, suppressing the resentment in her heart, her nails digging deeply into her palms, almost crushing them.
Xiyue, who was serving on the side, saw it and felt pain in her heart. She couldn't help but gently pull her sleeve, signaling her to let go.
But Jin Weige seemed unaware. Now she could only rely on this piercing pain to maintain her sanity, otherwise she was really afraid that she would lose control and do something irreparable.
His life had finally started to improve and he was able to regain his former glory, but the limelight was once again snatched away by Bai Wutong!
Bai Wutong seemed like her destined nemesis.
Whenever she was down and out, there would be some improvement on her side, and things would get better.
But once Bai Wutong's misfortune turns for the better, her life will fall into the quagmire again and she will be filled with bad luck.
There probably isn't room for two successful people in this harem. Between her and Bai Wutong, only one of them is destined to live a smooth and happy life!
The queen had lost her composure before, but at that time everyone's attention was attracted by the series of happy events, and few people noticed her abnormality.
She then pretended nothing had happened and continued to maintain her dignified demeanor.
Bai Wutong filled Zhang Chengyan's glass with wine, with a gentle smile on her face, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Sister Chunrou's timely help and sending me precious medicinal herbs, I'm afraid Yun and Yunxi would not have survived this disaster. Seeing that Your Majesty is so happy today, I dare to ask Your Majesty to give Sister Chunrou some rewards. In this way, perhaps other sisters will follow Sister Chunrou's example and help each other in the palace, making the harem more harmonious."
After hearing this, Zhang Chengyan nodded slightly, with an expression of approval on his face, "You are absolutely right, you really deserve a reward."
Now that he has such an outstanding son and Duan Chunrou has contributed to his success, he is naturally generous.
He ordered Wang Decai to give the imperial meal in front of him to Duan Chunrou, "Lady Duan is kind and virtuous. You have made great contributions this time and will be promoted to Concubine Duan."
This promotion directly surpassed the position of Zhaoyi, which could be described as a step to heaven.
Duan Chunrou was surprised and delighted, her eyes full of gratitude. She quickly stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, and thank you, Sister Zhaofei!"
She sat down happily, unable to hide the smile on her face.
Chun Xing beside him was equally excited, "My Lady, you really helped the right person this time!"
Looking back, she thought that helping Bai Wutong was a waste of effort. She didn't expect that just by sending some medicinal herbs, her queen could become Duanpin.
Now, the Queen has completely established her foothold in the palace, and her future days will surely be much easier.
Duan Chunrou glared at Chun Xing and said, "This is all thanks to Sister Zhaofei. If it weren't for her repeated care, how could I have such a good life now? In the future, when you see Sister Zhaofei, you must be extremely respectful. Remember that? If I find out that you make her unhappy, I will send you back to your hometown in the countryside!"
Chun Xing was so scared that she nodded her head rapidly, "Yes, Madam, don't worry, I will never dare to do that."
Bai Wutong received the emperor's approval and his eyes were full of smiles.
She picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it on Zhang Chengyan's plate. "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that I was pregnant again. If I had known earlier, I would definitely be more cautious."
"It's not too late for you to pay attention now. I will ask someone to take good care of you." Zhang Chengyan pushed a plate of bayberries in front of him to Bai Wutong.
This bayberry is not an ordinary one. According to the season, it should have been off the market and disappeared long ago.
Bayberry usually matures in June and July, and it has been three or four months now.
These were all treasures that were carefully selected and hidden in the ice cellar.
It would only be served at truly important large banquets, and in the past only the emperor was qualified to enjoy it.
Bai Wutong did not refuse and gently picked up a bayberry and put it into his mouth.
In an instant, the sour and sweet taste spread on the tip of the tongue.
Zhang Chengyan saw that she was enjoying the meal, his eyes were full of doting, and he instructed Wang Decai, "Go get some more, and prepare whatever Concubine Zhao wants to eat in the future. If there is nothing, you must find a way to get it, and never let her suffer any grievances."
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
Bai Wutong leaned against Zhang Chengyan and smiled, "Your Majesty, you are so kind. All the suffering I have endured before is worth it."
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer again." Zhang Chengyan gently hugged her waist.
Zhang Yunhe, who was lying on his knees, looked at his father and mother being so affectionate and smiled innocently, "Father, I want to eat too."
Bai Wutong squeezed out the bayberry juice and carefully shaved off some of the flesh before handing it to Zhang Yunhe and Zhang Yunxi. "You are still too young, you can only eat this much."
Zhang Chengyan reached out and rubbed Zhang Yunhe's head. "When you grow up, you can eat whatever you want. Father will definitely get it for you!"
Zhang Yunxi blinked her big watery eyes and sat obediently beside him, not feeling dissatisfied at all because her brother was more favored by their father.
When some are happy, others are sad.
The queen sat aside, feeling very uncomfortable.
Listening to the laughter coming from the side, she felt suffocated in her heart and almost couldn't breathe.
It would have been fine if Bai Wutong had stolen all the limelight today, but now the emperor had disregarded her dignity as the queen and was interacting intimately with a concubine on the dragon throne.
Everyone below saw this scene clearly.
She felt that she, the queen, was like a vase at a banquet, with no sense of existence at all.
I'm afraid that no queen in all dynasties has been more frustrated than her!
But she didn't want to leave. She wanted to see if Bai Wutong would do anything weird again.
Zhang Chengyan saw that Bai Wutong was just eating bayberries, but he didn't touch the other delicacies in front of him. "You can eat the food presented by my imperial kitchen without worry. It is definitely not poisonous."
Bai Wutong shook her head gently, her eyes lowered, "I naturally know what the emperor wants, but I have a poor appetite recently and I really can't muster the interest."
As she spoke, she raised her eyes inadvertently and glanced at Wen Chuyun who was not far away.
On such a grand occasion today, Wen Chuyun did not wear a veil, and her face was carefully powdered. The terrible scar she once had was cleverly covered up, and she regained her former brightness and charm.
Bai Wutong looked at her, and a ripple appeared in his heart.
Wen Chuyun was one of only two pregnant women in the palace besides herself.
Thinking of this, there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have an unwelcome request. I would like to ask Your Majesty, can I move to the Yangxin Palace with Yunhe and Yunxi to live with Your Majesty? I know very well that this is against the palace rules, but I have experienced so many terrible things before, and I am really scared. For example, the incident of the koi holding the pearl, every time I think about it, I am terrified. Who could have expected that someone would be so vicious as to hide poison in the belly of the koi. What's more, Yunhe and Yunxi were also poisoned and murdered. I am really worried that such a tragedy will happen again."
