Wen Yu blushed and talked to Tan for a long time, saying that the clothes were not finished...she was very embarrassed.
Seeing her embarrassment, Tan smiled faintly: "Forget it! It's not like you have nothing to wear." The tone of her voice was unusually unpleasant.
Liu also took the opportunity to complain a few words.
Wen Yu was sad and blushed and lowered her head.
When she arrived at the palace, the Empress was really good at making trouble. It was obvious that she was willing to spend money. She was very particular... If people could see that, she would be very happy. If she didn't flatter the right person, she would show no mercy at all.
After paying their respects to the emperor, the princes and grandchildren exchanged witty remarks and expressed their filial piety.
As usual, the Queen Mother would bully the Crown Princess, Princess Wu, and others.
After going through several things, Prince Yongqing became much more calm and composed, and King Wu finally began to like him more.
The prince, as always, pretended not to understand or know anything.
The Emperor made it clear that he doted on the Crown Prince and even discussed official matters with him at the birthday banquet.
The prince knew that this was for the other people to see, so he generously accepted his father's "kindness" and even intended to make further demands.
The emperor was not angry.
As the emperor, he certainly knows a thing or two about the situation in the capital. But as long as they don't go beyond the circle, his children and grandchildren can check each other, which is also what he likes. But if there are those who dare to go beyond the circle, don't blame him for being cruel.
The royal family was affectionate for a while, and then the emperor remembered something.
"Today, Wen Ruoqing's daughter is here too, right?"
A eunuch nearby came over and said, "Your Majesty! Lord Wen's daughter is here!"
Although the emperor was extremely suspicious, he was only concerned about people and things that threatened his position. Although he was not excellent in other aspects, he was not a tyrant either.
He both loved and hated Wen Ruoqing. When he stuck his neck out and yelled at him, he really wanted to push him out of the Meridian Gate... But such a person must be in the court.
"Let them come over here, father and daughter, so I can take a look!"
When Wen Ruoqing brought her daughter in, she felt like she had wings, so beautiful.
The beads behind her are gorgeous and radiant, catching everyone's attention wherever she goes.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t just the father and daughter who came, but also the white-haired Hu Fei following behind them.
After the three of them finished their greetings, the emperor looked at Wen Shizhu and said, "My dear Wen, is this your daughter?"
Wen Ruoqing folded up his wings and his tail flew up into the sky again, "Your Majesty, it is my daughter! Your Majesty, look, we look a lot alike, don't we?!"
The emperor took another closer look and said, "Maybe...she looks more like her mother!"
Wen Ruoqing didn't like what he heard, "Your Majesty, I am just a little old. When I was young, I was also very handsome!"
"Really?" The emperor looked unconvinced. He looked again and said, "Is that Hu Fei behind? Why are you here too?"
Hu Fei is dressed in gorgeous clothes, with white hair and a youthful face...
"Your Majesty, Lord Wen has promised his pearl to Hu Fei as his wife." He looked at Wen Shizhu with shining eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.
Lord Wen was very dissatisfied and took a step back, blocking his view.
The emperor grinned, watching the farce in front of him and sorting out the relationship between them. He had been serious and stern all his life, and had never experienced such a mess. Finally, he laughed out loud: "Congratulations."
Outside, Tan was socializing everywhere. Over the years, she had maintained many relationships. Of course, after chatting for a while, the topic turned to Wen Yu's shop. She "inadvertently" said that the new clothes that were supposed to be delivered were delayed...
The concubine finally saw Wen Yu in the crowd and went over to pull her. The two of them talked in a corner: "Your Highness just told me, how is Master Qing?"
Wen Yu sighed softly, "The wound is slowly healing, and the fever is not that bad. But she hasn't woken up yet. Fortunately, she can swallow. At present, we can only cook some rice soup and meat soup for her. The doctor said that after the wound is completely healed, we can have someone help her move her body. As for when she will wake up and regain consciousness, we don't know yet."
"There are some clues, but no evidence. We have already started investigating."
"If there's anything you need my help with, just tell me."
"Zhuzhu's marriage to Mr. Hu has been finalized."
"That's right! You're going to get married soon, right?"
"How do you know? He really couldn't stand Hu Fei and wanted to marry Zhuzhu right away! He didn't even think about the fact that Master Wen only had one daughter in his life. How could he bear to let her get married after he just got her back? Mr. Hu swore and said that he would not bring Zhuzhu back to the Hu family and would only live in the capital. Master Wen reluctantly agreed to the marriage."
"Of course we have to put forward conditions."
"You don't know yet, Zhuzhu's betrothal gift..." Wen Yu said for a long time.
"real?"
"That's right! In fact, when I think about it later, what if it's true? Lord Wen, can you take those back? You still have to return them to them! That Mr. Shi is so cunning and treacherous..." Wen Yu said excitedly.
Jiang Pingting's face suddenly turned grim. "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I, I think I am pregnant." Jiang Pingting said somewhat unhappily.
Wen Yu was not surprised, but calmed down, "How long?"
"As for the date, it's the exact date. But I'm very regular and always come two days in advance, never changing. So I'm worried... I haven't told His Highness yet."
"You have to say it! This is the most important time. We should fight back. I don't believe they will do nothing!"
Jiang Pingting said: "The Crown Princess is a smart person, she knows how to weigh the pros and cons. But Xue Ying... I don't know how the Crown Princess chose this person. She has high expectations but poor skills, she is bold and reckless! She is flamboyant and can't wait to..."
"You must implement this matter as soon as possible. If it is confirmed, you must let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know. Even the Emperor and the Empress must be informed."
"If it is confirmed, it will be a great joy for both the East Palace and the Crown Prince. However, that fool has no foresight at all. She has no idea what the East Palace is like now. She thinks that the chair is for them.
Don't think about it, even if she is the Crown Princess, what's the matter? She was squeezed by the Queen just now and dared not say a word. Not to mention that she has no son, even if it is her husband or her father-in-law, who dares not to be careful? Is there such a fate..."
"Pingting..." Wen Yu was a little worried: "You are a little excited."
"..." Jiang Pingting stopped and took a deep breath, "I know, there is some nameless anxiety."
"You still need to ask a doctor to take a look. You also need to calm down!"
Suddenly, a little palace maid came over and said with a smile: "My Lady, the Madam wants to talk to you about something important. Please go to the Guanyin Pavilion to talk."
Concubine Jiang also smiled and said, "Please go back to Madam Jiang. This is in the palace! The palace has its own rules. If you have anything to say, ask her to pass the letter to the East Palace. I will arrange a time to see her."
"Empress Concubine..." The little palace maid was a little surprised.
"Don't you have ears to listen to what I say?" The concubine's eyes flared up, so powerful!
The little palace maid lowered her head and retreated.
"That idiot!" Jiang Pingting was very angry.
"Sister~" Wen Yu looked at her in a reproachful manner. "Your anger scares me."
Jiang Pingting suddenly laughed, "Do you think she is stupid?"
After a while, a palace maid came to ask, "Excuse me, are you Madam Qi Wu?"
"I am!"
"Miss Wen is in front of the Queen, please come over."
