Su Xi'er nodded and responded, "The emperor's grandmother said that."
The queen sitting on the bed had a slight change in her expression, and soon returned to her normal color. She never thought that the empress dowager would tell her this. Du Ling said before that her first child was born and raised. Now the empress dowager said this again. However, Xianfei is already pregnant. Doesn't the king want children? No matter what, that is also the blood of Wang Ting.
Thinking of this, the queen opened her lips slightly, unable to speak a word.
After Su Xi'er noticed it, she went out of the inner hall and brought charcoal pencils and papers, "Sister-in-law, you can't speak, just write." After the words came, she handed the two things to the queen.
The queen waved her hand and motioned to herself not to, with a smile on her face.
"You child, you clearly have something to say, just write it directly. The Aijia doesn't like to make a roundabout." The empress dowager furrowed her brows, her voice was sure, and she looked straight at her and motioned for her to write.
The queen was so stared, she became nervous, holding a charcoal pencil, hesitated to write the four words Xianfeizizi for a moment.
After seeing the four words, the Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "Which tongue-chewing person said, how do you know about this when you have lived in the inner hall for a long time?"
The queen immediately shook her head, fearing that her maidservant would be punished, and immediately wrote another eight words, unconsciously listening, not knowing whether it was true or not.
Su Xier saw the cautiousness in the queen's eyes and immediately said, "The imperial grandmother, the story of the concubine's pregnancy spread early in the morning. The maid's talk, the sister-in-law heard it, it's normal. Sister-in-law, no matter what, you are in the royal court. His status. It is estimated that tonight, Mrs. General will enter the harem to accompany you."
When the queen heard her mother's family, her brows and eyes curled up, her mouth pursed with a smile, she hadn't seen her for a long time.
All daughters miss their mothers, not to mention that the queen is the only daughter of the general.
"Tonight's palace banquet, according to the rules, you should attend. You are not in good health, so take a good rest in the inner hall. Don't think too much about other things. The Aijia has its own way and will not treat you half-point." Speaking of which, the empress dowager Looking at Su Xi'er, "Go, follow Ai's house back to the palace."
Su Xi'er gave a soft hum, smiled slightly at the queen, took the charcoal pen and paper in her hand and placed it on the side of the table. Finally, she followed the Queen Mother and walked out.
The two walked to the outer hall, and the empress dowager looked at the maidservant standing in the hall, with cold light in her eyes, "The Ai family dislikes people who chew their tongues."
The maid was unknown, and seeing that the empress dowager was not looking good, she immediately knelt down, "The slave and maid must keep this in mind."
"Keep this in mind? So, how did the queen know about the fact that the concubine was pregnant?"
The palace lady trembled and squatted on the ground, "The empress dowager forgive me, but the slave and maid accidentally missed her mouth, not telling the queen on purpose!"
The empress dowager looked gloomy, and raised her hand to tell the guard to come in and drag the maid away. Su Xier immediately stepped forward to stop her, "The Queen Mother, this palace lady has acted unintentionally, and the sister-in-law is not well, so it is better not to move the slave-maid in her dormitory. How to punish the palace maid, and when the sister-in-law is well, she will punish herself."
The maidservant naturally understood that the princess was speaking for her, and she immediately banged her head to the ground, "The maidservant knew her mistake, and the maidservant would never dare anymore."
The empress dowager thought for a moment, without saying a word, flicked her long sleeves and walked out of the outer hall.
The maidservant breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly kowtowed her head to thank Su Xier, "The maidservant thanked the princess for her rescue."
"What should be said, what should not be said, there should be a word in my heart." When the words fell, Su Xi'er walked straight out of the outer hall to catch up with the empress dowager walking in the courtyard.
"Emperor Grandmother." Su Xier whispered, and then took her hand.
The Empress Dowager held it back, "Ru Lan, your hands are not warm at home. This body should be treated well. What you did in Beimin Palace was tossed like this abruptly."
"Hanging water from the well, sweeping the ground and weeding, that’s all for a living. No matter how bitter it was before, it's all over. Now, I'm full of bitterness." Su Xi'er raised her eyebrows and her face was full of smiles.
"Yes, all the hardships come with joy, and the Ai family also suffered before." The empress dowager patted her hand, then raised her foot and walked towards the sleeping hall.
The two entered the hall, and the empress dowager immediately called the imperial physician over to see Su Xi'er. After a diagnosis, the imperial physician said that she was cold.
The empress dowager has gloomy eyes, cold body, infertility. This is not enough, the problem is big!
At this moment, the imperial doctor said, "Princess, you don't have to worry about it. The warm jade bed in the palace can alleviate it, and with decoction, the cold in your body will be removed someday. In recent years, you can't touch cold water and avoid blowing cold wind. keep warm."
Su Xier nodded, "I will pay attention to these."
The imperial doctor ordered, and then walked out carrying the medicine box.
The empress dowager feels distressed, holding Su Xi'er's hand, keeping her hold on her, and ordering people to bring hot water and refreshments. It was not until the dinner began that the Queen Mother let go of her hand.
"Today's dinner, let King Hao take you to the table. The time has come, now it's time to come." The Queen Mother said as she looked outside the hall.
At this moment, the eunuch's bright voice sounded, "Wang Hao is here."
Not long afterwards, a tall man in a black robe studded with gold entered the dormitory, saluted the Empress Dowager respectfully, and then took Su Xi'er and straightened out her hair on her cheeks.
The empress dowager smiled in her eyes, "You go first, and the Ai's house will arrive later."
Pei Qianhao nodded, pulled Su Xi'er and bowed together to salute, and then walked around. Not long after, he left the bedroom and walked on the palace road to the dinner party.
The two walked through a palace road, Pei Qianhao stopped and said, "You can't avoid drinking today. You can't drink, I'll stop it for you."
Su Xier knows that the people of the Western Regions are full of pride and amorous feelings. At important banquets, both men and women must drink.
At this moment, several guards came from a distance and saluted Pei Qianhao and Su Xier, "Princess, King Hao, Wang and the officials have arrived."
Su Xi'er nodded, the time was up, and there was time for the banquet. After looking at each other with Pei Qianhao, the two raised their feet and walked towards the banquet.
The banquet was very grand, and all the officials came, and the court ladies and eunuchs prepared the dishes and stood respectfully on the side.
The great eunuch next to Wang saw Pei Qianhao and Su Xier and immediately sang, "Princess, Wang Hao is here!"
With a sound of falling, everyone's sights fell on the entrance. In the night, the princess was dressed in red, with golden steps on her head, peacock feathers on the side, and jade beads hanging on her forehead. King Hao wears a black robe, and has an upright posture.
Noble and elegant, extremely noble, extremely right.
After Su Xier entered, the court officials smiled slightly. Everyone turned sideways and bowed one after another, "Weichen see the princess, King Hao."
"Get up." Su Xi'er said and waved her hand, showing her majesty in every move.
All Ling raised his hands to signal everyone to take their seats. There was only a can of wine on each seat, and even the wine cup was larger than that of other countries.
There are six tables in total, the table is very big, can sit 20 people, the center of the table is a big roasted whole lamb.
