Although there is only so much now, and it is not even visible at all, but when she knows the news, every time she looks at Wei Yi, she always feels that the front of her stomach is bulging.

As if a little doll could fall out of it at any moment.

In the eyes of the queen, this is simply the greatest crisis she has faced since she ascended the throne, and sadly there is nothing she can do about it.

"Please don't be polite, ladies and take your seats first." She didn't look at Wei Yi, who was glowing beside her, but kept her composure on the surface, saying what she should say, "Today is New Year's Eve, and the emperor summoned everyone. Entering the palace is for the joy of the ruler and the ministers, so you should not be too strict."

The crowd took their seats.

The seating arrangement is based on the seating arrangement of the previous dynasty.

Of course, Lu Jinxi's seat was only under Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Xunxian, Mrs. Wei, and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Tang. Sitting across from them were the Countess of the Duke and Duchess.

In the past three and a half years, the circle of noble ladies has also changed somewhat.

The disgusting Mrs. Dingguo fell off the steps with one foot two years ago and died; the old lady of the British palace next door was also sick in bed and could not come, so today is Mrs. Sun, the eldest son The position of Mrs. Kangpinghou was very far behind, and she sat tremblingly by herself.

Lu Jinxi noticed these changes at a glance, and felt a little sigh in his heart, only that these three and a half years of fleeting years passed through his fingers like a white horse, and it became like this in the blink of an eye.

The biggest change, of course, is the foreign woman.

In recent years, led by Gu Juefei, a large number of new faces in the court have been replaced, and the original batch of old officials have been replaced, and the court has been changed once.

Of course, the wives also followed suit.

In addition to Lu Jinxi, the most eye-catching and eye-catching, there was another person at the palace banquet who attracted attention.

Lu Jinxi noticed it as soon as he was seated.

is a beauty.

She was wearing a second-grade official costume, which itself was considered luxurious, but she had a cold and cold feeling when she sat there.

The thin eyebrows are like willow leaves, but there is a stroke of brow peaks; almond eyes, Qiong nose and red lips, the most delicate facial features, but looking forward to it is like a mountain moon.

No pretense at all.

The person was sitting there, and a pair of light blue earrings were hung on the earlobes, like a tree of cold plums, blooming in the snow.

At first glance, it doesn't make people feel that Wei Yi's graceful and dazzling bright, nor does it make people feel that Lu Jinxi's natural beauty is neither charming nor charming.

She is cold, even arrogant.

Like a faint fragrance in the snow, slightly cold.

So Lu Jinxi's heart suddenly came up with a name, even though she was the "Lu's" in the eyes of others, it was the first time she saw her——

Sun Xuedai.

Another of the three beauties in Beijing that year.

Lu Jinxi still remembered that she married Tang Ruijing far away.

At that time, Tang Ruijing was only from a poor family with nothing, and Sun Xuedai was the direct daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Who wouldn't say she was "married"?

But now Tang Ruijing has been transferred to Beijing for a year.

She often listened to Gu Juefei discussing the court situation with his colleagues or disciples in Xiaozhu, and she knew quite a bit about this master Tang who came from a poor family.

He is a man who is unselfish and judges like a god.

I remember Gu Juefei once said: If there is no major trouble, this military minister will be able to enter the cabinet and become an important minister in this dynasty.

So at this moment, Lu Jinxi couldn't help but look at Sun Xuedai a few more times.

But didn't expect the other party to notice.

She was drinking tea when she just turned her eyes towards Lu Jinxi. When she saw her, she was a little startled and seemed a little surprised, but then she bent her lips slightly, politely looking at her. She nodded.

It felt like a cold plum bursting open in the snow.

With just such a smile, Lu Jinxi suddenly had a good impression of her.

She and the Lu family undoubtedly knew each other.

And no grudges.

It's just that on this palace banquet, there is no chance to speak, so just sit like this all the way.

The New Year's Eve banquet was very festive in the Rouyi Hall.

After the queen said those scenes, she received a letter from the front office from the front, so the palace people in the Rouyi Hall also put up the exquisite dishes that had been prepared in the imperial kitchen.

Before everyone was seated, the imperial decree came from the front hall.

The eunuch's shrill voice passed through the glorious night in the palace, and on this special day, he read out a decree written by Xiao Che, Emperor Qing'an.

"The virtuous concubine Wei, has a handsome appearance and has been with him for many years; she is an assistant to the Six Palaces, diligent and disciplined. She has meritorious deeds outside her family, and her body is benevolent; she has meritorious deeds in the society, and her descendants. 'Xian', please!"

"Chen and concubine, long live my emperor."

Wei Yi didn't see the slightest surprise on her face, as if she had expected this, and she didn't even look at the suddenly pale queen next to her, but only took the hand of the palace servant and knelt down gracefully to give the order.

All the wives in Rouyi Hall, including the Empress, all knelt down, shouting "Long live".

The eunuch who passed the decree was full of joy and flattery. When he handed over the decree, he kept saying "Congratulations to the Empress" and "Hexi Niangniang", but he didn't pay attention to the face of the queen next to him.

Wei Yi smiled lightly and took the imperial edict.

Following this decree, there are naturally rich rewards, but it is inconvenient to put them in the Rouyi Palace, and they have been moved to the palace where Wei Yi lives.

The front hall also gave royal wine down.

This one is available to everyone, euphemistically called "celebrating with the sky".

It was lively for a while before and after, but it was enough to save Wei Yi's face, and this group of talents withdrew from the Rouyi Hall.

Everyone's eyes on Wei Yi also changed.

As soon as the words "continuing children" and "entitled imperial concubine" come out, who can not know what happened?

pregnant!

This virtuous concubine has been in the palace for many years, and she is finally pregnant!

A while ago, Beijing and China had their own guesses, and a little bit of wind came out, but when they saw it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears, it became another shock.

The emperor's children have been tough all these years.

He favored Wei Yi, and he seldom went to other concubines. Wei Yi's belly had not moved for a long time, and other concubines had less chance of getting pregnant, or if something happened accidentally, it was not impossible.

Now the Zhonggong has no children!

Although the queen is the lord of the six palaces, she can't match Wei Yi in terms of background and ability, not to mention that Wei Yi is pregnant now.

If this child can be a little prince in one fell swoop...

Everyone just thought about it, and their minds floated.

During the next entire banquet, all those who had ideas put their heads together on Wei Yi, each one "virtuous concubine", for fear that the flattery would not be too tight and not obvious enough.

The queen who should have received the most attention has long been ignored by everyone.

This palace banquet, when the imperial decree of Jinfeng was issued, completely became the home court of Weiyi.

Lu Jinxi didn't get along well with the ladies around him, and Gu Juefei had previously warned her to stay away from Weiyi in the palace, so she didn't come up to talk.

It's just that can't stand the cheap mouth all the time, so want to mention her.

This time at the palace banquet, it can be said that the three beauties of the old Beijing gathered again. Wei Yi was the favorite concubine of the highest and she was just pregnant; Sun Xuedai married early and had two children, and the husband did not accept concubines. Son and beauty.

But Lu Jinxi was different.

Marrying Xue Kuang first, then marrying Gu Juefei, there has been no news about her belly for more than three years, which inevitably caused rumors in Beijing that she was a lost flower and a willow, delaying Gu Juefei's children.
