In mid-June, the Queen’s birthday.
Yun Chu and Chu Yi took their two children into the palace to celebrate their birthday.
Many people had arrived at Kunning Palace and it was very lively. Chu Yi went to the male guests, while Yun Chu took the children to talk to the female relatives.
"Brother Yu." Chu Lan, the second daughter of the crown prince, came over and said, "We found a fun place over there. You can go play with us."
Chu Hongyu was moved instantly.
Although he has been to Kunning Palace many times, he does not dare to run around and has never been to many places. It should be much more fun with Chu Lan taking him.
He was about to follow.
Someone grabbed my wrist.
He was dragged directly behind Yun Zhenjiang.
Yun Zhenjiang said to Chu Lan: "Princess, Brother Yu and I still have something to say, so I'll excuse you now."
Chu Lan's eyes flashed with disappointment, she snorted and left.
"That's stupid." Yun Zhenjiang twitched his lips, "Last time in the imperial mausoleum, you knocked her down and sat on her. Do you believe she can take you to fun places?"
Only then did Chu Hongyu come back to his senses: "Chu Lan wants to take revenge on me?"
"You are so smart." Yun Zhenjiang shook his head, "You are also a member of the royal family after all, so why are you so clueless?"
Chu Hongyu said angrily: "In the face of force, all intentions are like paper tigers. Brother Jiang, watch your moves!"
He picked up a branch as a weapon and swung it towards Yun Zhenjiang's face.
Yun Zhenjiang was older than him, so his reaction was naturally faster. He leaned back slightly and avoided the branches.
Then, he stepped forward with one hand, pressed Chu Hongyu's shoulder, took away the branch in his hand, and placed it on Chu Hongyu's neck.
"you lose."
Yun Zhenjiang threw the branch on him.
Chu Hongyu became even more angry.
He can't compete with his own eyes, and he can't compete with him in martial arts. He's too bad.
Yun Zhenjiang said, "I'm two or three years older than you, so I can naturally beat you. You don't have to think anything of it."
Chu Hongyu crossed his arms and said, "We will compete every month from now on. I don't believe you can win every time."
After saying that, he ran to Yunchu's side and whispered: "When I get home, my stepmother will find me a martial arts teacher. I will also practice kung fu at night."
Yun Chu touched his head: "Now I am studying every morning, why do I want to study at night?"
"I want to beat Brother Jiang." The little guy clenched his fists, with small flames flashing in his eyes.
Yun Chu knew that this child was very competitive, so he had to agree: "Okay, then you are not allowed to complain."
Not long after, the emperor arrived and the queen's birthday banquet officially began.
Many ladies from the capital's elite came out to perform for the queen's birthday, including playing, playing, singing, and performing all kinds of martial arts.
After the ladies finished their performance, it was the children's turn.
First of all, there are the princes and princesses.
Next came the three princesses born to the prince.
Next are King Gongxi’s two sons and one daughter.
When it was Chu Yi's turn, Chu Changsheng suddenly became timid. Only Chu Hongyu came on stage and read a poem.
The queen always had a gentle smile on her face, and there were subtle emotions deep in her eyes.
The second child's two sons and one daughter seemed to have lost their minds in reading, and they always looked a little dull.
The third child has a son and a daughter. The daughter is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and the son, Brother Yu, is too lively and seems to have no education.
There are only three daughters of the prince. They are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. With the prince's personal education, the future emperor's grandson will also be very good.
The prince's lineage will definitely continue forever.
While the Queen was enjoying the performance, Yun Chu lowered his head and said to the little girl in his arms: "Didn't our Changsheng prepare a birthday gift for the Queen's grandmother? Why don't we send it to her?"
Chu Changsheng put his arms around Yun Chu's neck and whispered: "There are so many people, I'm afraid."
Chu Hongyu immediately said: "I will send it up for my sister."
Chu Yi held down the little guy's hand and said, "You have to believe that Chang Sheng can deliver it himself."
"Chang Sheng, you have worked so hard to draw the birthday gift for several days. It would be more meaningful if you gave it yourself." Yun Chu said with encouragement in his eyes, "Don't be afraid, my parents are both sitting here."
Chu Changsheng stood up and picked up the scroll from the hand of the maid behind him.
She took a deep breath, boldly walked to the middle, and spoke in a soft voice: "Chang Sheng wishes the imperial grandmother good health and good luck. This is the birthday gift prepared by Chang Sheng."
When she was down there, she was extremely scared, but when she got here and said the first word, she seemed not to be so scared anymore.
She lifted the scroll.
A smile appeared on the queen's face: "This is the first time for me to see Chang Sheng celebrating his birthday. It seems that Chang Sheng has really grown up and become sensible."
Hearing this, Concubine Yin frowned.
The queen's words seemed to be saying that Chang Sheng was ignorant before.
She immediately spoke: "Chang Sheng was ill before, but now he is recovering. He stayed up for several nights to prepare birthday gifts for the Queen. Please open it and take a look."
The queen opened the painting. It was a picture of a parent-child garden.
Everyone in the royal family was having fun in the imperial garden, including the emperor, concubines, princes, concubines, grandchildren and others.
Suddenly, the queen was stunned: "Chang Sheng, why are there five children around the prince?"
Chu Changsheng explained in a clear voice: "This is a picture of the snow. By this winter, the prince's uncle's children will be born, and there will be five."
Those five children, three daughters and two sons.
The prince happened to be short of sons.
The queen was immediately overjoyed: "Chang Sheng's painting is very good. Come and bring me the Thousand Silk Jade Ruyi."
Mammy immediately took out a jade Ruyi and handed it to Chu Changsheng's hand.
The little girl thanked her politely and then returned to Yunchu.
The Queen looked at Fang Xinyan, who was sitting under the Crown Princess, and said with a smile, "You have to take good care of your baby and add another child to the East Palace."
Fang Xinyan's face looked a little pale: "It's the queen mother."
Her hands were tightly protecting her stomach, and her strength was a little weak.
At the last flower viewing banquet, she was slapped by the Duke's wife. After being frightened, her body turned red. She was taking miscarriage pills every day, but it had little effect.
A few days ago, the imperial doctor told her that the fetus might not be saved.
She spent a lot of money to get the imperial doctor to hide the news.
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the Duke's wife. Because the Duke's mansion was trusted by the emperor, the Duke's wife sat very close to the emperor.
The Duke's wife had a graceful and luxurious look on her face, and she sat there eating without a smile.
Who could have guessed that the Duke's wife was having an affair with the Emperor?
When Fang Xinyan thought about what happened that day, her body couldn't help but tremble, her stomach suddenly hurt, and she accidentally knocked over the cup on the table.
The Crown Princess had a cold look on her face: "You are still having the pregnancy, and I told you not to come. I don't know why you insist on joining in the fun."
"I want to celebrate my mother's birthday." Fang Xinyan squeezed her palms tightly, "I know my own body. If I can't hold it anymore, I will return to the East Palace first."
The princess was too lazy to say anything more.
Fang Xinyan felt the pain in her abdomen getting worse.
She raised her eyes and saw a family directly opposite. They were King Pingxi, Princess Pingxi, and their son and daughter. They looked like a really happy family.
