A chill mixed with anger shot up from the soles of her feet. Cen Yurong was thinking a lot. Did Bai Yujing want her to be embarrassed from the beginning, or did he immediately take revenge on her because of Su Qiming's incident?
But he moved too fast. There were many people guarding this gift, so he could actually get it?
The old princess on the side secretly pinched Bai Yujing hard. This guy didn't even give the Queen Mother face, and he actually played tricks on her birthday!
Bai Yujing glanced at her innocently, didn't Cen Yurong give the Queen Mother face?
"The prince's vassal is far away from the capital. I guess this gift must have come from something wrong during the long journey. Please forgive Princess Xian this time."
The old princess spoke up for Cen Yurong, and she immediately looked over gratefully. Unexpectedly, the old princess added, "She has been serving the wise king alone for so many years, and she must be a little overwhelmed."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Yujing couldn't help but burst into laughter. He immediately noticed that Cen Yurong was looking at him with red eyes, and he said silently, "Sorry, I couldn't help it."
Ginger is still old and spicy. If the old princess wants to make someone angry to death, it is just a matter of words.
As expected, the Queen Mother's expression still did not soften. Instead, she looked at Cen Yurong sternly, "If you can't even handle such a small thing, what else can you do for the wise king? Your belly hasn't moved for many years. The Ai family has already looked for someone. I’ve got a few noble ladies, you can just look at them for a while.”
In front of so many people, Cen Yurong's scars were unceremoniously uncovered. She felt ashamed and could only swallow the unwillingness in her heart.
"Queen Mother, I haven't thought about taking in the concubine yet." Xiao Junlan took a step forward and smiled helplessly, "This time it was my negligence. Please calm down."
As soon as he smiled, the Queen Mother quickly lost her temper and could only stare at him helplessly, "You, just spoil her. The Ai family said back then that it would not be good if there was too much age difference. She just doesn't know how to take care of her. Human.”
"Princess Xian is actually still a child. Don't scare her, Queen Mother." The voice of Emperor Dongling sounded from the side. The Queen stood beside him, and behind him were all the concubines, except for Concubine Xue. .
Everyone knew what was going on, but the Queen Mother saw Concubine Chen at a glance, and then smiled and said to the old princess, "Did you know that the child in Concubine Chen's belly was given by the crane?"
She seemed to have forgotten all the unhappiness she had just felt, and began to talk to the old princess about the day when the crane entered the painting.
Everyone once again lamented that mother is more valuable than son, but the queen's eyes swept across Concubine Chen's flat belly without any trace, and then she entered the table with a smile.
"Queen, are your clothes made of the material I gave you earlier? Sure enough, only the queen can wear them with its charm."
Emperor Dongling suddenly spoke. He had always been attentive to his queen. When he noticed that she had changed her clothes, she must have wanted to be praised by him.
Under the sunlight, the blue and purple silk threads shone brightly, and the phoenix on it seemed to spread its wings in the wind, lifelike, as if it would fly out of the clothes and soar away in the blink of an eye.
The coat is made of Su embroidery material, and combined with the graceful white fox fur, it makes the Su embroidery even more exquisite and gorgeous.
The queen smiled and met Emperor Dongling's gaze, "I rewarded Miss Xia with another piece of material. This trick is still too young for me."
As soon as these words came out, all the concubines showed envious expressions, but Concubine Chen felt uneasy in her heart.
"Miss Xia is so lucky, and the Queen is too partial!"
"That's right. Why don't you let Miss Xia take it out and let the concubines open their eyes, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to rest tonight!"
Two concubines were singing in harmony. Concubine Chen suddenly realized something and looked worriedly at Xia Yunxian in the corner.
How could the concubines, who usually wore silk and silk, care so much about a piece of material? It was clearly because of someone's instructions!
Although they were chatting and laughing, they seemed to push Xia Yunxian to the forefront.
At this time, Bai Yujing crossed his arms and watched this scene. He had long known that once the news about Concubine Chen's pregnancy spread, many people with ulterior motives would start targeting Xia Yunxian, but even the queen was involved, which made it difficult to handle.
At this time, under the gaze of everyone, Xia Yunxian slowly came forward and bowed. The queen immediately said, "Miss Xia, please take it out and let them see it, otherwise there will be a fuss."
When women are together, they just talk about jewelry, clothes, and their husband's household affairs. The atmosphere at this moment is still relaxed, and it is just a small episode at the banquet.
But Xia Yunxian didn't move for a long time, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
"What, you don't want to?"
The queen frowned, and the concubine who had just shouted that she wanted to touch the ingredients was immediately displeased, "Is Miss Xia afraid that we will steal people's love? After all, she is also the number one female doctor in Dongling. With such a small belly, she will not be able to get on the stage."
Indeed, it is just to add some fun to this birthday banquet. If Xia Yunxian is really afraid that her reward will be taken away halfway, then she is really ignorant.
A glimmer appeared in Cen Yurong's eyes, and a proud smile appeared on her lips.
She knew the Queen was willing to help her!
As long as Xia Yunxian is eliminated, the child in Concubine Chen's belly may not be saved.
The reason why she arranged for Su Qiming to have a private meeting with Xia Yunxian was just for this moment. As long as something happened to the piece of material and the queen investigated it, everyone would know that Xia Yunxian had a private meeting with the man and did not keep the reward well.
Even if Xia Yunxian insists that she received false news that Concubine Chen was unwell, so she appeared at the lake, so what?
Is it possible to ignore the face given by the queen?
Cen Yurong looked at Xia Yunxian's expression with great interest. Could it be that she had opened the brocade box and found that the materials inside were bad?
That's why I don't dare to bring it out now. After all, who would believe that the queen would reward her with bad things? Once these words are spoken, it will be equivalent to framing the queen, and she will die!
Xia Yunxian finally stood up and bowed, "To the Queen, Princess Yinghua knows that this Su embroidery material is very precious, and she is afraid that something might happen to her in the hands of her, so she has temporarily kept it for her. The material should be returned now." In the princess palace."
What? !
Cen Yurong's expression changed. Is that piece of material in Princess Yinghua's hands?
Xia Yunxian said this very politely, but everyone knew that Princess Yinghua was not that considerate. She must have robbed this material halfway, right?
"Your Highness the Princess is really thoughtful. Under the Queen's teachings, she has become more sensible." Concubine Chen smiled softly, and a flash of light flashed across the Queen's eyes.
Presumably, it was Concubine Xue Guifei and Yinghua who secretly hated themselves for not giving them the material, so they robbed it.
The dignified princess actually used such unflattering means!
Today, she should be taught a lesson.
