He chuckled and pointed at someone, "It doesn't matter, he drank it too, you guys won't lose out."
Dong Ning, Pei Lan and the Seventh Princess laughed immediately, but then fell silent. The men saw that the new emperor was looking at Xiao Man with deep eyes, and they were afraid that he was not getting along well with this young lady.
Considering his identity in his previous life, his status in this life, and their friendship, they must not offend each other. They just looked at each other and thought about it. Only Xiaoman dared to speak.
But everyone started chatting from this point on and became quite happy, which was not at all like the strict and formal palace banquets of the past.
Of course, most of the conversation was done by the women, who asked Xiaoman questions here and there, and soon they started talking about whether the child of Xiaoman and the Seventh Princess was a boy or a girl.
The Seventh Princess said she hoped it would be a boy and a girl. When asked, Xiao Man said without hesitation, "I hope it's a boy with a cinnabar mole on his forehead, with a pink and tender appearance, and who would be serious and ignore people. It would be fun to bully him."
Everyone was excited when they heard this, so much so that Jing Qing, at Peilan's signal, was about to take another cup of medicine soup for Xiaoman, but he trembled in excitement and spilled the soup. Xiaoman was originally talking excitedly, but then she was too happy and saw the hot liquid splashing on her hand, and a pair of big hands quickly covered the back of her hand.
…
It was not until Fang Ming bandaged the new emperor's burns and the new emperor was still staring at her with that kind of vicious and murderous eyes that Xiao Man's heart tightened and she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
She suddenly remembered what she saw in Linzi that day, the look of Shangguan Jinghong capturing and killing Shangguan Jingcong - the faintly visible cinnabar mole between his eyebrows.
When Xiao Man was still a leader, when studying the customs and habits of Dongling, she only ignored Fei Tian's affairs. Everyone knew the Buddha worshipped by Yun Cang, and there was a statue of him in every Fei Tian Temple. Although his appearance was not clear, the cinnabar mole was so red that people dared not look at it closely.
So, no one expected it, but it seemed a little expected. The new emperor suddenly pushed away the bandage on his hand. Xiao Man screamed, and he had already picked her up by the waist...

"Shangguan Jinghong, what are you doing? Put me down... I... Shit."
Xiaoman was carried out of the hall by someone. After walking for a while, they came to a small bridge over winding water.
The emperor was still obedient. Seeing Xiaoman was angry, he put her on the bridge railing. Xiaoman was frightened. Although she was familiar with water, it was not fun for a pregnant woman to fall into the water.
What did she say at the dinner table just now! Helplessly, she had to wrap her arms around his neck tightly. Shangguan Jinghong immediately leaned his head against her belly and rubbed it gently.
Even that light touch made Xiao Man's heart skip a beat. She felt inexplicably irritated and wanted to kick him over. As she raised her toes, she felt a slight pulse suddenly coming from deep in her belly. She was stunned, and then another pulse came, as if someone had clenched his fist and hit her hard.
But it doesn't hurt.
Then it happened several times in succession.
Is the baby moving in there
I don't know why, she was still angry and agitated a moment ago, but now her eyes suddenly became hot. She bit her lips and trembled slightly. On the other side, Shangguan Jinghong suddenly raised his head and held her face with both hands, "Chu'er, the child is moving... Come..."
The usual plainness on his face had completely disappeared, and his eyes were shining.
He was surprised and overwhelmed.
Yes, she was at a loss, because he was holding her waist very tightly, but she couldn't stop trembling slightly.
Suddenly, he kissed her hard, and without waiting for her to answer, he lowered his head and pressed his cheek against her belly.
Xiaoman was stunned and thought that she was being ignored.
But I wasn't unhappy in my heart. On the contrary, there was a feeling in my heart that was warm and cozy.
Suddenly she remembered the green light flying playfully in her dream, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
Everywhere I look, there is a tall man in bright yellow and hair as white as a waterfall of snow.
Although he looks like a normal person, he moves like a fool.
Fei Tian would never be like this, really not.
Why does she always think about flying
Xiao Man slapped her head in anger. Shangguan Jinghong stood up, frowned, pulled her hand away, and scolded, "What are you doing?"
He suddenly let go of her and turned his face slightly away, so she couldn't see clearly what he was doing.
I only saw his back shaking slightly.
Xiao Man was surprised, then she remembered her situation. The railing was very high from the ground. Shangguan Jinghong, this jerk, left her here and left her in a daze. She didn't dare to jump down in her current state. She quickly reached out to hold the railing and shouted angrily. Shangguan Jinghong turned around, his brows knitted tightly, probably because he was also surprised. He immediately hugged her down and locked her tightly in his arms.
It was a chilly autumn day, but his embrace was very warm. Xiao Man was shamefully attached to his embrace. She only heard him whisper in her ear, "Little Fox, we have our own child. Do you like it... The child you gave me..."
Xiao Man's nose suddenly felt sore, and she slammed her head heavily on his chest, "You always bully me... you bastard..."
"No, it was my fault before..."
He assured her again and again in her ear.
"Then let me see Jingcong..."
When Shangguan Jinghong heard this, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head.
He seemed to be stupid because of the child's movements, but she was still thinking about Shangguan Jingcong.
A strong emotion suddenly rose in his heart.
He knew it was jealousy.
So, he replied calmly: "Okay, after I sleep with you."
Xiao Man was so angry that she bit his neck hard, and she said incoherently, "Feitian, you are so hateful. You are still bullying me. You said you would treat me well and pursue me again, but you didn't keep your word and violated the agreement. You have to let Jing Cong and I go."
Flying.
She called him to fly.
Shangguan Jinghong's heart moved, but he didn't say anything. He suppressed his excitement and hugged the body that was like a small sweet fish with a faint fragrance after bathing tighter... Something burst out from his heart, he tightened his arms around her waist, looked at the cute girl with almond eyes wide open in his arms, and felt like insects and ants biting in his body. He felt a tight heat in his abdomen, which was more painful than the wounds on his body that had not yet healed. He cursed, held her chin, and leaned over to kiss her.
That was the feeling in the palace that night.
Sweet and palpitating, time stops.
Xiao Man was suddenly kissed again, he forcefully pried open her lips and tongue, the warmth and heat swept over her, the medicinal fragrance on his tongue tip... She was shy and anxious, and was about to kick him in the crotch to teach him a lesson - but he suddenly reached into her clothes, and stroked her chest through her bellyband. She trembled, but his hand slowly covered her belly.
Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief, but she had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She seemed to no longer hate him touching her as much as before. She was startled, and her slightly unfocused gaze looked through his shoulder, only to see Prince Ning and others under a tree not far away looking at them, smiling with surprise and delight. The women all turned their heads away slightly in embarrassment, but could not help but secretly peek.
Although he was tall and completely covered her in front of his body, everyone saw him kissing her...
It was fine just now, only a few friends were around, but now...
*
Xiao Man didn't know how they got back to the side hall. She only knew that Shangguan Jinghong wouldn't let her leave, so she had to work hard.
Peilan and others tried to tease her to talk, but she remembered the scandal just now and only responded vaguely, refusing to say more. Dong Ning burst out laughing and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother abused you and didn't give you anything to eat these two days?"
Everyone laughed and looked at Xiaoman happily.
Xiaoman is anxious.
Shangguan Jinghong frowned when he saw Xiaoman was eating too much. He called people over to make sure she wouldn't make a fuss in front of others and eat well, instead of eating like a starving person. Under the table, he reached out and touched her belly, which was bigger than before. He knitted his brows and glanced at everyone. Everyone immediately went back to work and no one dared to laugh at Xiaoman anymore.
Shangguan Jinghong snatched Xiaoman's bowl and chopsticks and asked Prince Ning and Zong Pu, "I'll let you two investigate the matter of Marquis Yan's brother-in-law. What's the result?"

Dong Ning said: "Fifth brother, quickly tell everyone what is going on in Di Country."
Seeing that everyone was very curious, Prince Ning smiled and said, "Di Kingdom is a grassland country, led by Tian Khan. Unfortunately, this Khan is incompetent, and the territory has long been divided by various Khans. Although there has been no major war for the time being, small wars have continued, and each other's territories have been annexed. That Hesa Khan is one of them, and Yan Hou's brother-in-law is the son of Hesa Khan. However, although Hesa Khan has many concubines, he only has one son. This son was seriously injured in a war and is still bedridden. The life and death of this son is uncertain. Hesa Khan does not want his land and people to be inherited by his brothers and the powerful in the tribe, so he must find the heir who was left in Dongling at all costs..."
"How could the Khan's son be lost in Dongling?" the Seventh Prince asked in confusion.
Prince Ning was about to speak, but Zong Pu suddenly chuckled and said, "Because those were the seeds that Hesa Khan planted in the brothel when he visited Dongling."
Everyone suddenly understood. Pei Lan said, "No wonder the Marquis of Tianyan was unwilling to talk about it."
The Sixth Prince clapped his hands and said, "Marquis Yan and the Emperor first met in Tianxiang Pavilion that day. It turns out there is a reason for this."
Jing Ping asked, "When Master and Marquis Yan were not close friends, you and the Emperor Taizong had a plan to expose Chunfeng's character to Marquis Yan. But Master had already known that Marquis Yan had been going to places of entertainment many times to look for someone?"
Shangguan Jinghong said calmly, "At that time, I didn't know that Marquis Yan was looking for someone, but as soon as Marquis Yan entered the country, I and the emperor received the message. The emperor was very anxious and summoned me to discuss the possibility that Marquis Yan might join forces with Xixia. At that time, the emperor still trusted me, and I made a plan after that."
When everyone heard his indifferent tone, they remembered his relationship with Emperor Rongrui and the fact that the emperor was not informed of the family dinner today, so they fell silent for a moment.
At this time, Xiao Man glanced at Shangguan Jinghong and asked, "Have you ever been to a brothel?"
Shangguan Jinghong coughed lightly, stared at her and said, "Can you please listen to the main point, what am I doing in the brothel?"
Although he scolded Xiaoman, the slight upward curve of his lips revealed his good mood because of her care.
Dong Ning and others secretly gave Xiao Man a thumbs up.
If Xiaoman puts her mind to work, she is very smart and more sensitive than any of them, but she just doesn't like to use her brain.
Shangguan Jinghong still turned his inquiring gaze towards Ning and Zong.
Zong Pu continued in front of Prince Ning: "Chaoge is prosperous. The son left by Hesa Khan is in Chaoge, a place of romance."
"However, Chaoge has changed a lot in the past twenty years, and the shops have moved around a lot, so it's not easy to find them. However, Lord Zuo may be able to help with this matter. Lord Zuo's parents were once one of the most famous girls in Chaoge many years ago, and they may know the mother of this young Khan."
As soon as he said this, everyone's face changed immediately. King Ning said in a low voice, "Old Zong, you are deliberately making things difficult for us." On the contrary, Zuo Bing, who had been silent since the banquet began, looked normal and sipped his wine gently.
Everyone knows that Zong Pu and Zuo Bing had a great deal of friction over Dong Ning's marriage, and now Zong Pu is clearly provoking him. But Zong Pu and Shangguan Jinghong are close friends, which is not comparable to Zuo Bing. It is not difficult for Zong Pu to say or do something. And Zuo Bing did not refute. It seems that the former leader of the secret guards of the retired emperor and the current Minister of War has a very unbearable life experience.
Everyone has different thoughts, and it is inevitable that some people will look down on others.
Zuo Bing smiled. After he became invisible in front of people, people found that he loved to laugh... But Dong Ning could no longer hold back and suddenly
He stood up and looked at Zong Pu fiercely, "What do you mean by this?"
Zong Pu was originally smiling faintly, but his heart suddenly tightened when he heard the words.
He smiled coldly, "Dong Ning, I won't let you follow him. Absolutely not."
You are a princess personally appointed by the new emperor, and your future marriage will be arranged by him.
He will never allow you to marry someone of humble origins and an unsuitable match.
There is a gap between you and me, but I must have you come back to me.
There was awkwardness all around.
At this time, Shangguan Jinghong said, "Dong Ning, please sit down. How can a girl be so vulgar?"
“Brother…” Dong Ning was anxious, but under the table, her right hand was pulled forcefully to sit down.
To her right is Zuo Bing.
She looked at him in confusion. Did he know that if Brother Jinghong didn't say a word to protect her, this matter would spread throughout the court after today.
Although he had let Shangguan Jinghong off on the Internet that day and allowed her to visit Shangguan Jinghong in prison, he was after all the right-hand man of Emperor Rongrui. Shangguan Jinghong had given him the position of Shangshulang because of his outstanding performance during the war, which was a great favor and a way to repay the prison cell. He would never promote her again in the future. Now—
She wanted Xiaoman to help her. Although her sister-in-law had forgotten her, she would help her according to her personality.
Unfortunately, Xiaoman was happily grabbing the fruits on the table at this time - handing them to Shangguan Jinghong and asking him to peel them. Shangguan Jinghong was also multitasking and became more and more adept at peeling the fruits. Xiaoman was eating happily and didn't notice that her eyes were blinking so hard that they were about to twitch. Perrin, next to her, gently patted her hands.
Zuo Bing quickly let her go, stood up and reported to Shangguan Jinghong, saying that he was willing to help Lord Zong.
When he sat down, Dong Ning saw that he placed his left hand on his knee, his hand was clenched so tightly that his knuckles were slightly white.
She was startled. How did he climb to the position of the old emperor's attendant with such a background? He must have suffered a lot in the process...
"Well, if Zuo Qing can assist Zong Qing, that would be the best. But before that, I have a favor to ask of you, and you must do it well."
Shangguan Jinghong's voice suddenly came.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Zuo Bing immediately stood up and replied respectfully.
"Princess Yongrui's martial arts skills are not good enough, and she is obsessed with various spy techniques. She always pestered me to teach her this and that. I don't have the time to teach her. You should spend some time to teach her."

After the banquet, Zong Pu left with a very bleak expression on his face.
