Return of the Swallow

Chapter 591 Old Friend (1)

Ji Zeyu's face remained unchanged when he heard the words, and his voice was low and lightly said: "Qin does not care for her face, naturally she deserves good treatment.

"You!" The princess Anyang turned purple for a moment, stopped and glared at the tall figure of the man who was still walking in the courtyard with her hands in fists, "You are presumptuous, I am a princess!"

Ji Zeyu stopped, and looked back, there was an undisguised mockery in his eyes: "Oh. I didn't see what the Royal Princess would do other than reincarnation."

"presumptuous!"

"The eldest princess should calm down, today the empress dowager has a birthday."

Ji Zeyu continued to walk forward quickly, leaving the chest of Li Helan's only son undulating and short of breath.

After having such a quarrel with Ji Zeyu, when he returned to his senses, Pang Xiaoyu's figure had already approached Ci'an Palace.

Li Helan sullenly scolded the palace man beside him: "Hurry up and keep up. How decent is it?"

The palace man's face flushed after being reprimanded, and he lowered his head and followed Li Helan cautiously.

Naturally, Qin Yining didn't know what was happening behind her. At this time, she and Pang Xiao had been allowed to enter the main hall of the Ci'an Palace under the advice of the servant.

The Queen Mother is celebrating her birthday today. She wears a red-colored Zhai dress and a golden phoenix crown with tassels on her head. She is graceful and elegant.

The middle-aged woman sitting next to the Queen Mother also wore a light gold Zhai dress, chasing a phoenix crown in a high bun, and although she was not glamorous, she was extremely attractive.

This is the queen.

The queen mother, the queen and the clan members who were at the banquet in the hall heard that the prince Zhongshun had arrived, and even the voice was a little bit loud, they looked at the front of the shop.

Pang Xiao, who was dressed in a gorgeous purple python robe and a purple gold crown, slightly bent over, cautiously supporting a pregnant woman wearing a light blue brocade arrow sleeve jacket, a dark blue dress, and a big belly without losing the charm and walked in slowly.

The queen mother smiled.

When the queen saw that the evil embryo like Pang Xiao actually didn't care about the dignity and dignity, she had to support her own wife, and then watched Qin Yining walk cautiously while holding her waist and straightening her stomach, but she was still very eye-catching and beautiful, and she felt sour Then it spread.

Some women are born with good fate and their own beauty, and the husband loves her wholeheartedly.

And her?Although she is a queen, the concubines in the emperor's harem are all beautiful, but she is already old and yellow, and she was pregnant first, and she will inevitably become a target in this palace.To put it ugly, she couldn't wait to open her eyes even when she was sleeping.The thick powder on the queen's face couldn't hide her fatigue while pregnant.

Looking at Qin Yining again, her complexion is good, and her skin can be broken, which is completely different from her situation.

With the favor of Prince Zhongshun, her life must be very smooth.

Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were close when the queen's heart turned a thousand times.

Pang Xiao first helped Qin Yining to slowly kneel down on the brocade cushion brought by the maid, while kneeling on the side, the two respectfully bowed to the Queen Mother.

"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager for the happy birthday and prosperity."

"Okay, okay, you child, you still have so much politeness when you arrive at Ai's house. Your wife is so heavy, why don't you pick it up?"

The queen mother smiled and stretched out her hand to Pang Xiao.

However, Pang Xiao bowed his head to help Qin Yining because of his orders, and did not see the Queen Mother's movements.

The Queen Mother raised her hand stiffly for a moment. Seeing that no one paid any attention to herself, she had to withdraw her hand in embarrassment, her smile still loving.

Pang Xiao helped Qin Yining sit down in the rose chair moved by the maid.Because of Pang Xiao's position, the family members of the clan must retreat to a place.In addition, Pang Xiao was a man in the court. The fact that Li Qitian ordered the impeachment to fail has spread throughout the capital, and the clan family now see Pang Xiao again, naturally more in awe.

Qin Yining naturally noticed that the atmosphere in the hall had become quiet after they arrived, and he sighed inwardly, but maintained his dignity.

The queen smiled and said to Qin Yining: "Look at your month, you should be a mother in four more months, right?"

Qin Yining was about to stand up quickly, but was gently stopped by the queen: "My own person, why do you need so much courtesy? Today is a family banquet for the mother and the queen. We are just a family of relatives gathering together to talk."

"Yes, thank you Empress Empress." Qin Yining still bent down and bowed her head to greet her, with a humble attitude.

At this time, I heard a servant in front of the door saying: "The princess of Anyang, the consort is here!"

Everyone looked back again, and saw Li Helan in a gorgeous dress, with an unrelenting anger on her delicate makeup, and walked in quickly.Ji Zeyu followed behind in a brocade robe with white arrows and sleeves.

These two people, one is a rich flower in the world, and the other is a cold moon in the night sky, they don't seem to be a person at all.

When the two arrived at the Queen Mother and the Queen, they both saluted.

Li Helan didn't wait for the Queen Mother to give her instructions, she got up, leaned forward coquettishly, sat next to the Queen Mother, and separated the Queen from the Queen Mother, "Mother, do you want to be a minister?"

The Queen Mother resignedly tapped Li Helan's forehead, and lightly scolded, "You splash monkey, when can you learn from the stability of your relatives and sisters?"

Li Helan looked around proudly with her chin up.

Immediately, Li Helan's relatives who "one person got the best way" praised Li Helan.Some say that the princess is pure and sincere, and some say that the princess is pure and innocent. It is always a one-sided compliment, and the Queen Mother likes it from ear to ear.

The queen sat down and was silent.What kind of support her sister-in-law is, her sister-in-law knows nothing better.If Li Helan has developed such a temperament, the unreasonable favors of the Queen Mother and Li Qitian are the root causes.

Li Helan was very happy to be praised, but when he saw Pang Xiao and Qin Yining sitting side by side in the first place, and Qin Yining was still holding such a big belly, the smile on Li Helan's face stiffened again.

"It turns out that the Prince Zhongshun and the princess have also arrived. It is disrespectful that the palace did not see them."

Pang Xiao stood up and said, "The princess is serious. The ministers and ministers' wives have just arrived."

Li Helan raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Yining, who was still sitting in place: "I think Princess Zhongshun went to the barbarian land. Not only did her belly be bigger than a normal woman who was six months pregnant, she also forgot the rules and etiquette. When I go, we can see that the environment makes people, and this makes sense."

Li Helan's harsh words made everyone present frown.

Now, no one of you here does not know that Qin Yining is pregnant with twins. It is normal for her belly to be a little bigger. Besides, regardless of whether she is still chaste or not, Prince Zhongshun doesn't care about it. What do outsiders say?Now it's the Queen Mother's holy life. As the eldest princess, it's really unruly to be the first to stand up and pick things up.

Everyone shook their heads in their hearts.

Qin Yining observes his nose and mind, only when he hears a dog barking.

Pang Xiao's well-knotted fists clenched, looked at Li Helan coldly and contemptuously, and smiled: "The princess is still as innocent and innocent as before. The empress dowager is so good to raise her. Subjects admire her."

Li Helan's face turned black at once.

The queen mother's brows also frowned.

The clan members even took a breath of bluffing.

Looking at the civil and military of the Manchu, falling from the top, including the saints, who else would dare to turn around and say that the Queen Mother has no way to teach her?

But Pang Xiao was someone who even dared to resist the thirty-three ways of the imperial edict, and the sage still used him without a trace. Everyone present, no one really dared to do anything to him.Besides, Li Helan was wrong in this matter first.

Seeing the empress dowager’s face turned green, the queen hurriedly changed the subject with a smile, “The time is almost there. The stage is also ready. Empress, shall we move to Fangtingyuan?”

The queen mother finally became less embarrassed, nodded and told everyone to go to the theater together, and said: "It's cooler there. Let's put our banquet in Fangting Garden."

"Yes, the queen mother just wants to use it today, let her take care of everything." The queen smiled softly and walked in front of the queen mother's arm.

Everyone followed behind.

Li Helan watched Pang Xiao guarding Qin Yining to Fangting Garden, holding a sigh of breath in her heart, wishing to rush up to press Qin Yining to the ground and beat her fiercely.Who hasn't married again?Does it show that she is not married to Pang Xiao?

Li Helan was upset, her face was calm throughout the whole process of watching the show.Even the Queen Mother talked to her, which made the petty reluctance to pay attention to her, and the rest of the clansmen who made trouble were not funny, and the atmosphere in Fang Ting Yuan seemed particularly dull.

This dullness continued until Li Qitian came.

Along with Li Qitian, there were several courtiers and honorable men who he trusted.Lu Heng was among them.

When Lu Heng came in, the first thing he saw was Qin Yining.

She lowered her head and was receiving the fruit from Pang Xiao, with a gentle smile on her lips, especially when she stroked her ball-like abdomen, the look full of maternal tenderness made Lu Heng feel a little for a moment. Trance.I even imagined in my heart that it would be just my own child.

Lu Hengdi quickly forced himself to look away, followed Li Qitian behind him, and the ministers salute the Queen Mother and the Queen.

After the two parties met each other, they rearranged their seats.

Li Qitian chanted his birthday first, thanking the Queen Mother for her nurturing and teaching. The scene was very touching at one time, and the eye sockets of some women with shallow eye sockets were a little moist.

After the birthday message, it is the birthday feast.With Li Qitian's command, the people in the imperial dining room began to move, bringing up the delicacies, fresh fruits and vegetables, and delicate snacks.

The palace people are well-trained, and even with so many people, they never heard a cough and a collision when the utensils were put down.

When the banquet was ready, Li Qitian picked up the drink and stood up and said: "This first cup, I suggest that everyone drink together, and I wish the Queen Mother always enjoy good health!"

Everyone stood up, toasted with their wine cups, and said in unison: "The empress dowager will enjoy health forever!"

With joy in her heart, the queen mother took a dignified sip of the wine, and ordered everyone to sit down and feel free.

The courtiers and the women's family members are intertwined.

The women of life went to toast with the Queen Mother in groups.

There are also courtiers who go with them to toast the saint.

The atmosphere became warmer, and everyone looked very cheerful.

At this moment, a guard walked in quickly and came to Li Qitian's side to salute, and whispered in his ears: "Holy Lord, a monk came from outside the palace gate and gave you something, saying that it was an old friend who asked to see you."
