The Queen had no intention of becoming enemies with Princess Kang.
She knew very well that Ning Chen valued brotherly love. She allowed her cousin to enter the mansion in order to win over Prince Kang's family. With the help of the emperor's uncle in the future, it would be easier to push her own children to the throne.
"The Queen is right. There is no rush now. Prince Kang's wedding will be soon, and we have to make sure everything in the mansion is settled before welcoming the new bride." Ning Chen spoke at the right time.
The Grand Concubine also smiled and continued, "Princess Kang and Yi Wan are not much different in age. If there is anything you don't understand, just go to your second sister-in-law's house and ask."
This Yi Wan was the legitimate wife of King Ping, Fang.
When her name was called, Fang also stood up with a smile, "I always love lively places, my brother and sister-in-law should come to my house more often to play."
Ning Rui also spoke up at this time, "Weier has a lively personality, Second Sister-in-law should teach her more. I haven't played chess with Second Brother for a long time, let's go together another day."
"Okay, okay, you and your wife can come together, and I will ask your sister-in-law to prepare a table of good food and wine!" Ning Hao waved his hand generously.
The group of people are like affectionate couples and harmonious siblings.
Finally, I got rid of the empress dowager's issue just now.
It’s just that the Queen Mother still doesn’t look very good, but she still has a smile on her face.
Ye Jun watched coldly from the side and felt that Prince Ping was really unlike the Imperial Concubine. His face was gentle and kind, unlike his mother, the Imperial Concubine, who looked kind but had a sharp look in her eyes.
Now, after a careful comparison, it turns out that my niece Fang Xiuyi is more like the Grand Concubine.
Maybe the Yao family's ambition is to pass it down to daughters rather than sons
No matter what, the matter has been resolved and everyone is happy again.
Concubine Shu looked towards the dragon throne, feeling a little eager to move. She glanced at the empty seat where Zhang Baolin should have been sitting, and finally raised her glass.
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The full moon night represents perfection and beauty. I wish Your Majesty a peaceful and harmonious family and may all your wishes come true."
Ning Chen looked over and saw that Concubine Shu had an earnest look on her face, but her eyes were filled with anxiety, and it was obvious that she was afraid of him.
"Okay, Concubine Shu, you did a good job drawing your eyebrows today, but what about the distant mountain ink? I have a box of the best eyebrow ink here, it would be a pity to leave it alone, so I'll give it to you."
After all, they had been friends for many years, so Ning Chen still gave him face.
Because of the eldest princess' illness, he had indeed treated Concubine Shu coldly for a long time, but he still had to protect the old friend in front of the ministers.
After all, he is not heartless.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Concubine Shu was so excited that her tone became higher.
Her eyes turned and she continued, "I heard Zhang Baolin sing a new song some time ago, it was very good. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, I would like to borrow Zhang Baolin's voice to sing it for the emperor, which will also help to liven up the mood. Is that okay?"
Zhang, Ning Chen still had some impression of her.
First, she sang well, second, Concubine Shu had tried to promote her many times, and third, Ye Jun had openly said that he didn't like this person.
But today, Concubine Shu has already given me face, and it would be bad to reject it now.
After all, she is the eldest princess' biological mother, and she cannot be embarrassed in front of outsiders.
"Since Concubine Shu thinks it's good, then let me and all of you listen to it." Ning Chen waved his hand.
Concubine Shu showed joy on her face, but although she felt sad in her heart, she still whispered a few words to the maid beside her and asked her to go down and make arrangements.
After just a cup of tea, a ethereal and pleasant humming sound was heard coming from the entrance of the hall.
Even before she started singing, just hearing her voice was enough to make people intoxicated.
"Jade beads fell down to the moon, and I picked up the fresh dew in front of the palace. I still don't know what happened in the sky. It must be Chang'e who threw it to people..."
A heavenly singing voice sounded, and a woman in white clothes, holding a round fan embroidered with a jade rabbit, slowly walked into the hall.
The dress was not only pure white, but also had a hint of blue. The hem was embroidered with auspicious clouds and decorated with pearls, making the woman look like a fairy walking on the clouds.
Zhang not only sang, but also performed a dance.
Although her dancing was not very good, her posture was flexible and the artistic conception at the moment was very good, it really was like Chang'e descending to earth.
I have to say that both Concubine Shu and Zhang put a lot of thought into this.
After the song, Zhang looked at the man sitting there shyly with her eyes that seemed to want to say something but couldn't, which was really charming.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of Zhang Baolin's song?" Concubine Shu said softly.
In fact, needless to say, almost everyone present was intoxicated, and now all that was needed was for the emperor to express his opinion.
After all, we can't perform this in vain, right
"Excellent, excellent." Ning Chen smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Shu, and Zhang Baolin has also worked hard. I remember that Zhang was conferred the title of Baolin last year, and now she will be promoted to a talented person."
Ning Chen knew very well what the women in the harem wanted.
As long as they have the ability, Ning Chen doesn't mind asking them to be promoted. Today it was indeed Zhang's ability.
"I thank the emperor for his grace!" Zhang Cairen smiled and immediately bowed.
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the Emperor will definitely go to Fengqi Palace to spend the night. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be the one to sleep with him tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Zhang laughed even more happily.
Tsk tsk, it seems like there are a lot of things on your mind today. Ye Jun drank a glass of fruit wine and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wouldn’t it be more fun to push Yi Meiren out at this time
So, he filled another glass and Ye Jun also stood up.
"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and I wish His Majesty good health and success. After His Majesty drinks this cup of wine, I have good news to tell you."
"Oh? You're still keeping me in suspense. Fine, I'll drink it."
Ning Chen smiled and drank the glass in one gulp.
Ye Jun raised her eyebrows and her eyes fell on Concubine Yi. "I don't know if this news is true or not, but I heard some words recently, it seems that Concubine Yi is pregnant again."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wu froze and was a little at a loss.
"Are you serious? You can't make a fuss about this matter." Ning Chen was also surprised.
For a moment, everyone's eyes shifted to Wu.
Concubine Yi gritted her teeth in hatred, but she could only smile and stand up. "I wanted to talk about it later, but Concubine Ming said it first. Then I can't be shy anymore. The imperial physician has checked and confirmed that I am indeed two months pregnant."
"Oh, what a blessing! This is the second time. Come on, quickly remove the fruit wine on Lady Yi's table and replace it with something drinkable. Also, add a cushion so that she can sit more comfortably."
The queen spoke with a smile and looked very happy. If you didn't know, you would have thought she was pregnant.
The news was confirmed, and everyone started to congratulate.
Even though Yi Meiren was not feeling very comfortable at first, she felt somewhat proud after receiving a few compliments.
Ning Chen glanced at Ye Jun and saw a cunning look in the little woman's eyes, so he knew what she was thinking.
But she was really unwilling to suffer any loss, and was afraid that she would become too popular, so she pushed Wu out to block it.
However, the Wu family has done a good job in the court recently, and they are indeed worthy of rewards.
"It seems that today's Mid-Autumn Festival is indeed a good day. Since Concubine Yi is pregnant, she will be promoted to the position of imperial concubine. After she gives birth safely, she will be promoted to a higher position!" Ning Chen made the decision.
Concubine Yi was naturally overjoyed. Not only her, but the Wu family also came to the palace to attend the banquet today and were also very happy at the moment.
