Everyone stood up and saluted the emperor.
"Everyone, get up. There is no need to be formal at today's New Year's Eve banquet." After the emperor sat down, he called everyone to get up.
To the emperor's lower left hand, the first person sitting is the prince, followed by Prince Ning, the fifth prince.
The sixth prince was only five years old, so he followed Concubine Shen and sat on the side of the female family members.
After that, there are the descendants of the clan.
On the right, seated were Concubine Xian, Concubine Xin, Princess Pingyi, Concubine Shen and the Sixth Prince, as well as Shu Yuwan, Princess Changning, Princess Ning and other female family members.
Behind them are the ministers of the fifth rank and above in the imperial court, arranged in order according to their rank.
People from the Andinghou Mansion also came, Mrs. An, Mrs. Anhou's wife Wei, and the three Marquis Anding. However, since Shu Yuwan became the crown prince, the Anding Hou Mansion was in a very embarrassing situation in the court.
At this moment, he was just sitting awkwardly, and the old lady next to him had to say hello and whisper a few words to each other with the people he was close to. Only the Anding Hou Mansion, and even the in-laws of the First Young Master An and the Second Young Master An, avoided the people from the Anding Hou Mansion.
Shu Yuwan sat near the front, so she didn't notice the people in the Anding Hou Mansion unless she looked for them.
Qingdai and Yimei stood behind Shu Yuwan, always carrying a small amount of food. Spicy and spicy food that is harmful to pregnant women should not be eaten.
Not long after the emperor sat down, the prince stood up.
"Father, I have a happy event to report to my father~"
The emperor was originally not very interested. It happened like this every year, nothing special. After hearing the prince's words, he instantly became energetic: "Oh, what's the happy event?"
The prince said: "The princess is pregnant~"
The emperor's eyes lit up instantly, he looked at Shu Yuwan and laughed: "Okay, okay, okay!"
"Jin'er, you are finally going to have an heir!"
What Master Liao Kong said is true. The Shu family is really Jin'er's destined marriage, and there is good news so soon.
"Reward! There is a reward!"
Then he said to Eunuch Hong: "Open my private treasury and send all the useful things to the Crown Princess!"
The prince raised his eyebrows. He had not picked out the good things in his father's private treasury~
Shu Yuwan stood up and gave a blessing: "Thank you, Father."
When Concubine Xian heard the Crown Prince say that the Crown Princess was happy, her expression changed briefly, then she quickly recovered and said with a happy face: "Congratulations to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
The prince's alienated concubine Chong Xian cupped her hands.
The fifth prince also stood up and said to the prince: "Congratulations to the prince, brother, congratulations to the emperor's wife~"
"Thank you, fifth brother."
The atmosphere at the New Year's Banquet suddenly became much more lively because the prince announced the news that Shu Yuwan was pregnant.
It's just that some people are really happy, and some people try hard to stay happy.
Shu Yuwan also received many hot looks. No matter what she looked like, Shu Yuwan always maintained a decent smile.
After a song and dance, the annual banquet ended quickly.
After the emperor left with the concubines in the harem first.
The courtiers and wives also had to go back to worship their ancestors.
Mrs. Shu looked at Shu Yuwan, resisted the urge to approach her daughter and asked her how she was feeling, and walked out of the palace with the married women.
I was very happy.
Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Zhou coincidentally came to Mrs. Shu's side, their faces full of joy: "Mrs. Shu, congratulations!"
"Yes, Wanwan is so lucky to have the good news so soon."
She originally thought that Shu Yucheng refused to study for some unknown reason. Although he did not take concubines and was devoted to Ronger, she still felt that something was missing.
Unexpectedly, my son-in-law is now willing to go to school, and the Shu family has such great blessings~
Mrs. Zhou was extremely satisfied.
Mrs. Shu chatted animatedly with the two of them for a while, and then went home. After all, today was New Year's Eve, and everyone had a lot of things to do, but she was so happy that she couldn't help but talk about it.
In previous years, the emperor would either stay up with Concubine Zhang or Concubine Xian or Concubine Shu.
This year, he returned to Chengqian Palace alone and took out a portrait of a woman from the secret compartment of the desk.
The woman in the portrait looked no more than twenty years old. She was gorgeous and bright, with a charming smile. The emperor muttered to this portrait: "Shu Yan, we are going to have a grandchild."
In Concubine Xian's palace, Concubine Xian was sitting on the throne, and the fifth prince was on the side seat, carefully accompanying her.
Both of them looked ugly.
The fifth prince comforted him: "Mother, it's nothing. At this age, the prince's brother will never have an heir."
Concubine Xian nodded: "What you said makes sense. It's just that last time, the prince was poisoned and escaped death. How come it didn't have any impact on his body? In such a short period of time after marrying Na Shu, Na Shu became pregnant."
"I heard that the prince was cured of the poison quickly, but he couldn't wake up for some reason, so it probably didn't have much impact on his body." The fifth prince tried to explain.
Concubine Xian snorted: "It's in vain that Zhang Yiru has been careful with the emperor for so many years. He has been in charge of the harem for many years, and he succeeded in poisoning the prince. He hasn't killed anyone yet. It's really useless, so he can't use a poisonous poison." of."
The fifth prince frowned and said, "What the mother-in-law said makes sense, but I always feel that this matter is weird."
"If there is really a destined marriage, can the fate be solved?"
The fifth prince's biological mother died young, and he has been unpopular in the palace since he was a child. Before the prince took care of him, even the palace attendants in the palace of the concubine Xian could look down upon him.
After being rescued by the prince, he also tried his best to play the role of a poor brother who is close to his elder brother and is full of dependence on the prince's brother. Later, he showed his scheming and ability, and won the favor of the Xianfei, who persuaded the Xianfei to cooperate with him, one would get the throne, and the other would get the honorary position in the harem.
Only now can he barely maintain a foothold in the palace.
He grew up experiencing hardships and has always believed that everything depends on his own efforts and does not believe in fate~
I have always been skeptical about the fateful marriage that Master Kong approved for the prince.
However, he really didn't know what benefits the prince brother could get from it?
A divorced woman whose father was only a minister of household affairs.
If it wasn't the prince's brother, who was behind the arrangement?
Shufu?
It doesn’t look like he has this ability!
Wouldn't it be easier for the second and third brothers to kill the prince directly? There is really no need to do this.
Concubine Xian couldn't figure it out, so she simply put the matter aside: "I don't know either, maybe there is. Who can say clearly about this kind of thing."
The fifth prince also gave up the entanglement: "Mom, please relax. Whether the prince has children or not does not have a big impact, but in the future, one more person will die~"
Concubine Xian nodded: "Just wait until Zhang Yiru and Concubine Shu take action."
