The two children were born on the same day, and now they are holding a full-month banquet together, so giving gifts will be a big highlight.
Start with the Queen Mother.
She always follows the rules and treats everyone equally.
The Queen did the same thing afterwards, but she took the trouble to praise the Fourth Prince a little more.
Things got a little different when it came to Concubine Shu.
She prepared more things for the Fourth Prince than for the Third Princess.
Although Ye Jun's position is higher than Yao Xiang, this is too ugly.
As for Concubine Shu, she always thought she was not wrong and did not even notice that Ning Chen's expression had darkened a little.
Fortunately, she was the only one who was so confused, and everyone else gave the same things to the two children.
"Today is a family dinner, we are celebrating the wedding of our two children and the war on the border. You all don't have to be too reserved, just eat and drink well."
Ning Chen smiled in a good mood, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Prince Kang said, "You have obtained a pair of dragon and phoenix, my brother will be very happy for a long time. I would like to offer you a cup of wine. After drinking this cup, I will tell you a little happy thing."
"Oh? You are still keeping me in suspense." Ning Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed at Prince Kang, and then picked up the wine glass and said, "Then I will drink this glass with you."
The two brothers smiled at each other and drank it together.
After putting down the cup, King Kang spoke, "My princess is already three months pregnant."
As he said this, Prince Kang turned and looked at the princess, his eyes full of tenderness.
Princess Xu also responded with a smile.
From this appearance, it is not difficult to see that the couple has a very good relationship.
This also makes the concubine Xie, who is sitting on the other side of Prince Kang, seem very redundant.
"Okay, this is a great event. This is your first child. When you become a father, I will feel at ease and I will have an explanation to my father." Ning Chen looked at the couple with a smile.
Finally, he waved his hand and gave Princess Kang a lot of things as rewards.
Looking at the affectionate young couple, the Queen and Princess Heping were extremely envious.
But the one who was most envious was the Queen, because Princess Ping already had a daughter and had a good relationship with Prince Ping.
Among these brothers and sisters-in-law, Ning Chen has the least intimate relationship with the Queen.
"The Third Princess and the Fourth Prince are both cute. I just hope the baby in my belly can be the same." Princess Kang smiled happily. "I just took a look at the Fourth Prince. He is so fair and tender. The Third Princess was also very quiet and well-behaved when she was asleep."
Xu was also smart. Today was the full moon banquet for the prince and princess, and she didn’t want to be too much in the spotlight.
Just share the news that you are pregnant, but don't take the spotlight away.
After she said this, everyone's attention returned to the two little protagonists.
Ning Chen looked at Ye Jun and said with a smile, "Ming Xiuyi has fair skin, and the Fourth Prince is the same as her. He must be somewhat like his mother, otherwise he will complain to me again."
"I made a few jokes with the emperor, and he told everyone about it. I must be so embarrassed."
Ye Jun's pair of charming eyes were raised, as if she was acting coquettishly or pouting, which was indescribably alluring.
The concubines looked at her so fondly that they wanted to dig her eyes out, she was so seductive!
But the emperor still agreed with her and smiled gently.
"It was just a joke, why are you so irritated? I can see that you are not like this normally, and you are making trouble with me again. Today you are out of confinement and can drink, so you can't skip this drink."
"I would like to drink, but I don't have a cup." Ye Jun raised her eyebrows.
She glanced at the table and found that there was really nothing prepared for her.
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, said nothing, just drank the wine in his glass and filled it up again.
Then he suddenly said, "Yuan Jiu, give this cup of mine to Ming Xiuyi."
After these words were spoken, not to mention others, even Ye Jun was stunned for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, and then everything returned to normal.
He took the silver cup brought by Yuan Jiu, smiled at Ning Chen, and drank it all.
At this moment, all the concubines on the scene looked unhappy. Even those who pretended to be calm had their smiles faded.
If for no other reason, the emperor's behavior was simply too intimate, and he had no scruples in front of so many people.
The emperor really dotes on Ye.
The empress dowager standing by looked even more gloomy.
The emperor likes Ye so much, and Ye has given birth to a prince. Wouldn't this block the way for others
But just when she was about to say something, Ning Chen spoke again.
"Bring me another cup, and I and Lady Huo will have a drink too."
Huo Cairen was a little confused, but he still picked up his cup and drank respectfully.
Finally, everyone heard Ning Chen's hearty laughter coming from the main seat.
"General Ye, General Huo, the young talents of Nanqi should not be underestimated!"
"You two brothers joined forces to defeat the Liao army's siege, chased the enemy for thirty miles, and captured more than a hundred horses for me. You are truly meritorious officials of Nanqi!"
Ning Chen arrived a little late at today's banquet because he had read the good news from Lingzhou.
The combined age of these two men is only as old as General Xian, but they have achieved battle results many times better than General Xian. They are indeed capable.
"No wonder the emperor is in such a good mood today, it turns out to be because of the victory in the border war." The queen said with a smile.
He glanced at Ye Jun who was sitting below him, and continued, "With such an uncle, I'm sure the Fourth Prince will be very brave in the future."
When she said this, Yi Shunrong's eyes beside her turned a little colder.
He hid the anxiety in his eyes by lowering his head to eat.
Ye Jun naturally understood the Queen's intention, so he was not in a hurry and spoke calmly.
"I have not thought about the future of the Fourth Prince. Right now, the child is still so young. It is a blessing for him to grow up well. Our First Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince, which one is not good? Your Majesty, please don't always praise the Fourth Prince alone."
"Of course. They are all the emperor's bloodline. Princes and princesses are all good." The queen's smile faded a little.
Ye Jun had no intention of letting her go, but instead looked at her sincerely.
"No matter how good the children I give birth to are, they can't compare to the legitimate son given birth by the Queen. I and all my sisters are looking forward to the Queen getting pregnant again soon."
In the past, the Queen always liked to use this matter to provoke her, but today it was the other way around.
Things change over time, and there will always be a time when you are targeted.
When Ye Jun mentioned the matter of the legitimate son at this time, the empress dowager also got involved.
After all, what the Queen Mother wanted to do was to elevate the woman from the Chen family to the throne and have the Chen family produce another queen.
If you want to release another one, you have to pull down the current one first.
So I followed the rhythm.
"Speaking of which, the Queen has had a miscarriage for a year now. Her body should be almost recovered now. She needs to give birth to a legitimate child as soon as possible. Look at the eldest princess, she is almost seven years old already. The Queen needs to pay more attention to her."
