Royal Palace, Linde Hall.
Two days later, the Summer Banquet was held here as scheduled.
Due to Wang Chen's declining health in recent years, no banquets were held in the palace for a long time.
It is precisely because of this that today's Jixia Banquet is extremely grand. Not only were there dense flowers all around, but lanterns and colorful ribbons were hung around the main hall, giving this summer a festive atmosphere.
The queen is the phoenix in the palace, so in addition to hundreds of officials, there are also various concubines who came here today.
Most of the concubines also brought congratulatory gifts to congratulate the Queen on having a dragon seed in her body.
Wang Chen rarely took care of the affairs of the harem, and there were only a few concubines in the harem. But today's gifts are piled high on the side.
It can be seen that everyone in Daxia has great expectations for today's event.
The only one among the crowd who did not bring a gift was Concubine Xiao Shu, who was dressed in green as usual. Today is a big day. Both the officials and the concubines are all dressed in red, purple and purple.
This bit of green is particularly eye-catching.
Wang Chen and Queen Murong Wan originally stood at the entrance of the palace, watching the ministers slowly enter and congratulate them.
But seeing Concubine Xiao Shu in the crowd who was so maverick, although Wang Chen knew that she had such a personality, he pretended to be slightly sullen and said:
"Concubine Xiao Shu, you are the only one who is so special today. Do you have any dissatisfaction with the queen?"
Wang Chen's original intention was to beat Concubine Xiao Shu. Although she usually has a domineering personality, she doesn't care about her much. But for such a grand occasion like today, it would be a bit outrageous to leave it to her own whim.
Concubine Xiao Shu smiled coquettishly, giving birth to many charming looks in an instant.
She held her chin up to Wang Chen and smiled and said: "Your Majesty made a mistake in blaming me. It's not that I didn't bring any gifts. The gifts I brought are here."
After that, he waved to the side. From behind Concubine Xiao Shu, a man dressed in palace clothes came.
"Luo Tiancheng from Chen Tai Hospital, see the Emperor and the Queen."
Wang Chen frowned slightly: "Today is a wedding banquet, why did you bring an imperial doctor here?"
Concubine Xiao Shu still had a charming smile on her face, and at the same time, she tightly clasped her hands with the queen beside her.
"The Queen and I have been in the harem for a long time, and we are sisters who have a deep love for each other. I have invited the best doctor in the harem today. I want to ask him to see if there is anything that needs attention in my daily life. of."
Murong Wan tried to pull her hand out of Concubine Xiao Shu's hand, but failed. It's not easy to get angry in front of other ministers.
He had no choice but to say: "My sister is interested, but I had my pulse checked by the imperial physician from the imperial hospital yesterday and prescribed a medical prescription."
"Although my sister has invited an imperial doctor to come, I can't use him."
Concubine Xiao Shu pulled the corner of Wang Chen's clothes, pouted, and showed off her ordinary charming look.
"Look, Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't prepare a gift, it's that the queen sister didn't accept it!"
"If you really are pregnant with the emperor's dragon seed, are you still afraid of others coming to see you?"
"Sister Queen, you won't...not at all, right?"
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xiao Shufei's words instantly made everyone around them stunned.
Murong Wan spoke in a low voice: "Concubine Xiao Shu, today is a happy day for me, so I didn't care about you just now. Why are you so hard to do this now?"
Wang Chen finally got angry: "How brave! Why don't you kneel down and apologize to the Queen!"
thump.
Not sure whether she was really frightened or just acting, Xiao Shufei fell to the ground and looked frightened.
"I apologize to the queen sister. I didn't know that the queen sister is so sensitive to this topic..."
broken.
When Concubine Xiao Shu said these words, everyone passing by had already listened to the scene just now.
Wang Chen turned his head and looked around. Among the ministers and concubines who had just climbed up the stairs, some of them had stopped and looked at what was happening here.
Today is a big day. If I continue to get angry, I'm afraid the ministers will become suspicious.
At that time, the queen's false pregnancy will really be hidden.
And just when the ministers were shocked and Wang Chen was thinking about a solution, the ministers who had not yet come up all made way for a passage.
The officials on both sides nodded and bowed, opening the way to greet an official who was about to come up.
Another letter, like a picture scroll, was frozen at this moment.
Outside the main hall of Linde Hall, Wang Chen and Queen Murong Wan were higher up, overlooking the ministers with ulterior motives.
Although Xiao Shufei and Li Zhang are at the bottom, they are surrounded by hundreds of officials, and they tend to come from behind.
The dragon meets the tiger.
Feng Jianluan.
A surge of killing intent soared into the sky, constantly colliding between the four, and finally shook the Linde Hall today.
The lights in the palace at night today were like the smoke of a battlefield, kicking off tonight's dinner party.
Seeing that all the ministers were watching, Murong Wan suddenly said coldly:
"My sister is so kind-hearted and curious, so let's give it a try!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand, revealing his white wrist as white as a lotus root.
So, under the watchful eyes of the ministers, Concubine Xiao Shu and others, the imperial physician named Luo Tiancheng slowly walked up and covered Murong Wan's hand with a white handkerchief.
Then, start taking the pulse.
Murong Wan had closed her eyes at this time, as if she was regretting and praying.
Concubine Xiao Shu showed a smile of victory from the side. If the emperor really had this ability, how could he not come to the harem day and night? I know there are diligent emperors, but I have never heard of an emperor made of wood.
However, all the officials' attention was not on Concubine Xiao Shu, but on Luo Tiancheng's expression.
To be honest, they had more or less the same questions as Xiao Shufei in their hearts. Now I can take this opportunity to prove it to them.
And in their hearts, they had more or less predicted the winner of this battle, which was Concubine Xiao Shu, who was now lying on the ground pitifully, but had already exhausted her plans.
As long as the queen's pregnancy can be detected to be false, not only will she not be punished, but after the queen takes on the crime of deceiving the emperor, it is not impossible for her to rise to the throne with the strength of Ge Lao Li Zhang.
At first, Luo Tiancheng still looked calm. After all, the Queen's body was not in good shape and her pulse sounded a little weak.
However, if he felt it carefully, Luo Tiancheng's whole body froze.
He opened his eyes and looked at Concubine Xiao Shu in front of him with some disbelief.
"The queen's happy veins are stable and she will definitely give birth to a healthy offspring for the royal family!"
