The host is cute and charming, who doesn’t love the charming wife?

"My lady, please don't be angry. Drink some tea to quench your thirst first."

Ruan Miaomiao curled her lips, but finally picked up the tea and drank it all.

After all, quarreling is a waste of breath.

Chunlan then tried every possible means to persuade Ruan Miaomiao, and finally she felt better.

"The things that the young lady received today are almost filling up the small room in the side hall. I have never seen His Majesty hold a birthday banquet for any concubine before."

Speaking of this, Ruan Miaomiao relaxed her brows.

After all, she liked both gifts Xiao Chenjing gave her today, although she had an argument with Ruan's father because of their disagreement.

But one thing is for sure, Xiao Chenjing was willing to bring the Ruan family into the palace for her, which shows that he cares about her.

And today she was conferred the title of concubine.

Now in the harem, the only ones above her are Concubine Li and Concubine Xian.

Concubine Li had the support of the Queen Mother, but unfortunately she herself was not up to the task.

Over the years, I haven't left any deep impression on Xiao Chenjing.

Ruan Miaomiao didn't even take her into consideration.

Thinking of Concubine Xian, she thought of the double-sided embroidery she received today.

She naturally knew that pomegranates and lotus seeds symbolize having children and having many children.

Ruan Miaomiao also knew clearly that now that Xiao Chenjing was in power, the most important and criticized thing about him was that he still had no children.

If she could give birth to a child for Xiao Chenjing, she might have a chance of getting that position.

Thinking of this, her attention was immediately diverted and she looked down at her abdomen, feeling a little disappointed.

So much time has passed, why is there still no movement?

She was already considering whether to find a reliable physician to take a look.

Of course, this cannot be done openly, so she has to find an opportunity to ask Mu Zian for help.

"My young master, my young master!"

Suddenly, a voice coming from far away broke Ruan Miaomiao's rare thoughts.

"Why are you yelling?"

Ruan Miaomiao, whose thoughts were interrupted, raised her eyebrows and looked at the person who came - Chunhong.

Apart from Chunlan, she is the only palace maid who has more opportunities to show her face.

"My lord, the Holy Lord is here!"

Chunhong was panting and pointed at the door.

"So fast!"

Ruan Miaomiao stood up from the stool at once and immediately nervously wanted to go to the mirror to check her current clothes and appearance.

There was no time, so she asked Chunlan directly.

"Can you see what's wrong with me?"

Ruan Miaomiao cares a lot about her appearance. After all, she feels that her appearance has contributed a lot to her current status.

So in front of Xiao Chenjing, although her IQ and EQ could not be changed in a short time, she could easily have a pleasing appearance.

Chunlan smiled secretly, "My lady is the most beautiful person in the world today. I guarantee His Majesty will not be able to take his eyes off you."

She was right.

In preparation for today's birthday party, Ruan Miaomiao started dressing herself up early.

As soon as he appeared at the banquet, he attracted everyone's attention.

Even His Majesty looked at his young lady a few more times than usual!

"Well."

Ruan Miaomiao went out to greet them contentedly.

It’s all Father Ruan’s fault. If she hadn’t quarreled with him, would she have forgotten that the emperor would come to her today?

There's no need to be so anxious.

Today is her birthday and also the day she was promoted to concubine, so it is reasonable for her to come to her palace.

It’s just that Ruan Miaomiao didn’t expect it to come so soon.

Sure enough, before she completely walked out of the palace, Xiao Chenjing came in with Mu Zian.

"Why is our little birthday boy out? Didn't we say today that you are the oldest? By the way, have you eaten your longevity noodles?"

The second half of the sentence was obviously asking Chunlan.

Chunlan quickly bowed her head and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, the young lady has not eaten the longevity noodles yet, but the imperial kitchen has already prepared them."

"Okay, now that it's ready, let's have it served."

When passing by Ruan Miaomiao, Xiao Chenjing stretched out his hand to her and led her inside.

While waiting for the noodles to be served, the two began to chat.

"How's it going? Have you talked to your parents?"

When talking about this, Ruan Miaomiao got angry and simply turned her back.

At first, Xiao Chenjing didn't notice her emotions and kept talking to himself. Then he saw Ruan Miaomiao's mouth curled higher and higher.

"Alright, alright, Your Majesty, please stop talking."

In the end, Ruan Miaomiao couldn't help it and reached out to cover Xiao Chenjing's mouth.

Xiao Chenjing was not careful for a moment and actually let her succeed.

Only then did I notice that something was wrong with her.

He held her hand and kissed her, "What's wrong? Haven't you been missing your family for a long time?"

He couldn't help but start to feel doubtful and indecisive.

Ruan Miaomiao paid no attention to his temptation and turned away angrily.

"Humph, it's been a while since we last met, and I kind of miss them, but they just make me mad!"

"Oh?"

Xiao Chenjing raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Did something happen just now that I don't know about?"

Ruan Miaomiao didn't think much about it and started to "complain" to him.

"We hadn't seen each other for a long time, and I thought we would talk to each other, but when we met, I realized it was different. My mother treated me with respect and strangers like a guest...

My father knew how to order me around from the start, and no one really cared about what my life was like in the palace."

Speaking of this, Ruan Miaomiao felt extremely aggrieved.

Xiao Chenjing was speechless. He didn't expect that she was unhappy because of this.

To be honest, he could understand the Ruan family's thoughts.

From the encounter at the banquet just now, it can be seen that the other members of the Ruan family are very cautious. How could they raise a daughter with a completely different personality?

He was also a little confused.

However, Ruan Miaomiao's words once again refreshed his naive perception of her.

He patiently taught: "In fact, your parents' thinking is normal... Okay, don't be angry, today is your birthday. If you are like this, I will let them enter the palace less often in the future."

"do not want!"

Ruan Miaomiao didn't really say that she couldn't live without her parents, but the fact that she could allow her family members to enter the palace indirectly showed how favored she was.

Of course she was reluctant to turn away something that would make others envy and jealous.

And no matter how dumb she was, she knew that without the support of a family, she was inferior to others.

If there is really no contact at all, then she will have no family support at all.
