"What are you doing? If you feel uncomfortable, go back to your mansion quickly!" the third prince scolded him in a low voice.
He Wanyun choked up, "No... the imperial concubine wants to drive me away."
The third prince's breath froze... Could this stupid woman have offended Concubine Zhuang?
He glanced ahead in shock, but fortunately the emperor was talking to Concubine Zhuang affectionately and didn't pay attention here.
"What trouble did you get into? Why did you offend Concubine Zhuang?"
The third prince lowered his voice and said, "Father never attends banquets like this. Today, in order to show respect for Concubine Zhuang, he personally brought us here! Can't you see this favor? How dare you offend..."
"Forget it, forget it, you don't understand even after I say it, go back to the house! I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"
He Wanyun thought her husband would support her, but she didn't expect that he would abandon her like a pair of worn shoes.
He Wanyun only felt that the eyes of all the women were staring at her, ridiculing, ridiculing, and laughing...
She covered her mouth and ran away crying.
When the emperor came, he naturally brought Wen Yu with him.
When Wen Jin saw her son, her eyes lit up... Xiao Yuchen didn't lie to her!
Wen Jin was pulled by Concubine Zhuang and sat next to her. This was originally the location of Princess Xinyue.
The eyes of the emperor and the princes all fell on Wen Jin suspiciously.
These sharp gazes were like cold swords, piercing towards Wen Jin. But she seemed unaware that all her thoughts were on Wen Yu.
The emperor let go of his hand, and Wen Yu ran to Wen Jin's side.
He immediately threw himself into Wen Jin's arms and took a deep breath. Grandma still smells good, "Yu'er misses Grandma so much."
This scene of mother and son cuddling together is really enviable to others.
What is even more enviable is the love shown in the emperor's eyes when he looks at the young prince.
Except for Xiao Yuchen, all the other princes had sour faces... They were also the children and grandchildren of their father, so why was Xiao Yuchen's son so favored?
"Why don't you see Princess Xinyue?" the emperor asked Concubine Zhuang.
Concubine Zhuang's eyes immediately turned red, "Thanks to Jin'er today! Otherwise..."
Before she finished speaking, she almost cried.
But Concubine Zhuang was able to control her emotions freely. She immediately held back her tears and straightened her body, looking even more dignified.
What is the occasion? Could she lose her composure here? The vulnerability just revealed was just for the emperor to see!
Just click as far as she wants. If she really cried, she would be pitiful, and she would lose face and make the emperor look down upon her.
Only the silly woman like the third prince would really cry on such an occasion.
"What's going on?" The emperor saw his beloved woman bursting into tears, but he couldn't hold it back. He still behaved like everyone else, feeling distressed and proud.
"Bring Princess Xinyue over here." Zhuang Guifei said.
The emperor did not miss what she said just now, "What if it wasn't Jin'er...?"
Wen Jin, whose name was called, immediately received sharper eyes.
Jin'er?
How could Concubine Zhuang, who was always so cold, call her so affectionately?
When did she become so good at pleasing people?
Even Xiao Yuchen was confused and stared at Wen Jin suspiciously.
Princess Xinyue was brought over by the palace people.
She choked on water and fell into coma. Even if she was revived by Wen Jin, she was still very weak.
The imperial doctor prescribed medicine for her, but she was still groggy just after taking it.
"My child pays homage to his father..."
Plop - Princess Xinyue didn't squat down properly, she just lay on the ground and made a "bow down" salute.
"Oh, this gift is still far away from the New Year. Get up." The emperor couldn't help but laugh. He helped the man up and took a look, but Long Yan was furious, "What's going on? Why is Xinyue's face so pale?"
"Yue'er fell into the water and almost died..." Concubine Zhuang couldn't help it anymore and quickly turned her face away.
Princess Xinyue grinned, "Don't worry, Father, Yue'er is reluctant to leave. Yue'er still wants to play the piano and sing for Father! It was Sister Wen who saved me!"
"The imperial doctors all said that my daughter was dying, but Sister Wen refused to give up. They wanted to pull Sister Wen away, and Sister Wen even got angry!"
"Sister Wen insisted on saving the child, so that the child can see his father again!"
After Princess Xinyue finished speaking, she threw herself into the emperor's arms and acted coquettishly.
She is the emperor's youngest daughter, and she is a daughter of old age, so she is naturally favored by the emperor more than other children.
When the emperor heard what the child said, the old father's heart tightened immediately.
When he looked at Concubine Zhuang's forbearing expression and hesitated to speak, he also guessed that it was probably not an easy matter for her to fall into despair. But now is definitely not the time to talk about this.
"She is not your sister Wen." The emperor glanced at Wen Jin and said, "This is your eighth sister-in-law, the royal concubine of King Huai."
Princess Xinyue turned to Wen Jin and smiled sweetly, "Eighth sister-in-law, can I call you sister?"
"good."
"no!"
Wen Jin and Xiao Yuchen spoke at the same time.
Xiao Yuchen's brows knitted into knots... He felt as if the bird in his cage was about to grow wings and fly out of the cage.
"This is not etiquette!" Xiao Yuchen said sternly.
Xinyue looked at the emperor blankly and helplessly, "Father, my eighth brother is so vicious! Is it really not okay to call him sister?"
The faces of the surrounding princes were not very good.
Especially the prince.
What kind of bad luck did this old man have? His father always favored him, but now he asked his princess to save Princess Xinyue.
The emperor's two favorite daughters are the eldest princess and the little princess!
Although my sister is favored, she is old after all and has already left the palace, so she cannot always show her presence in front of her father. Sister also has an undistinguished temperament. She is notorious for robbing civilian men, and even the father has heard about it!
How can a little princess still live in the palace and act like a spoiled child in front of her father to please her so conveniently?
Although Concubine Zhuang was favored, she had no children, so she did not help anyone. Qingqing and cold, only guarding her daughter to live her life.
Now, this balance is about to be broken! Concubine Zhuang and the little princess obviously favored the eighth princess!
The prince clenched his teeth, and his heart was trembling with anger... Wen Jing has not given him an answer until now. Could it be that Wen Jing has surrendered to Lao Ba?
The throne is his, and he does not allow anyone to covet his position!
Wen Jin became Lao Ba’s assist, right? Then he will uproot Lao Ba’s assists!
"You can call her whatever you want. Ignore your starling. He is trying to scare you." The emperor doted on the old woman and touched her head. Seeing her pale and weak look, he felt more and more distressed.
"Princess Huai has made great achievements today. She will be rewarded with two pieces of cloud brocade and a thousand taels of gold!" the emperor said.
There was a sudden silence at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet.
Originally, these women's eyes were focused on the emperor and Concubine Zhuang.
They whispered, "There are no women over there, only the princes, and even the crown princess was not called over. Why is that woman the only one sitting next to Concubine Zhuang?"
"Who is that woman? Is she a new beauty? Isn't she too coquettish? Is she newly promoted by the imperial concubine?"
"With such beauty, I'm afraid she will be overshadowed by the imperial concubine in the future. Isn't it difficult to control her?"
"What are you talking nonsense about? That's Princess Huai Wen Jin!"
As soon as everyone figured out Wen Jin's identity, they heard that the emperor had rewarded her heavily.
They all gasped... What kind of luck is this? Everyone is the emperor's daughter-in-law! Why is she the only one favored?
The imperial concubine held her hand, as intimate as mother and daughter!
The emperor rewarded her heavily. It seemed like she was the only daughter-in-law who could catch the emperor's eye?
All the women were envious and jealous... They were both greedy for her honor and her rewards.
A thousand taels of gold is enough to make people covet it! There are also two pieces of Yunjin, which are limited tributes, no more than ten pieces a year!
Except for those used by the emperor, queen mother, empress, and noble concubines... on average, each son will get less than half a horse. Wen Jin takes two by himself!
Everyone quickly drank tea and wine to suppress the sour taste in their mouths.
