The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"Why are the eldest ladies here?" Liu Sangyu quickly wiped away her tears and personally moved a stool for Meng Wenlan to sit on.

"You think that I am willing to come here, but you are getting married tomorrow, and I am just giving you a wife for my father's sake. They are both sisters-in-law, and you are my sister. Don't let me marry you in the palace from now on. It’s embarrassing for this young lady.”

Throwing down a gold hairpin, Meng Wenlan walked away without even crossing the threshold.

Meng Wenyao heard that the words were about sisters-in-law, and asked in confusion: "Mom, my sister wants to be the concubine of the fourth prince, do you know?"

Hearing this, Liu Sangyu was shocked and said in surprise: "I heard that she is a concubine, how could she be a concubine? Did you hear wrongly?"

Thinking of the lawsuit in the imperial concubine's bedroom that day, Meng Wenyao didn't want Liu Sangyu to worry, so she smiled lightly and said: "Maybe I heard wrong, mother, let's go to bed quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow."

Lying on the bed, Meng Wenyao was puzzled. The imperial concubine had clearly said that Meng Wenlan would be a concubine that day, so why was there no news of Mrs. Hu's return?

Could it be that the imperial edict has not yet been issued and we expect any changes in the final result?

But okay, why did Meng Wenlan change from a wife to a concubine? In order to win over the Hu family, it is impossible for the imperial concubine to go back on her word like this.

Then there was only one possibility. It was the emperor who made Meng Wenlan a concubine.

However, the imperial concubine did not object fiercely. She must be the royal wife appointed by the emperor for the fourth prince, and she has a higher status.

Meng Wenyao let out a long breath, the emperor really dotes on the fourth prince, her future with the sixth prince is slim!

I fell asleep without realizing it, woke up early in the morning, took a shower and changed clothes, put on my wedding dress and started combing my hair.

Hu and Meng Wenlan looked on, Meng Wenlan sneered from time to time, and Meng Wenyao ignored her the whole time.

Perhaps because she felt that her punch was hitting the cotton, Meng Wenlan became more and more excessive. Regardless of the maids and women in the room, she sarcastically said: "My sister's wedding was really grand. All the civil and military officials and relatives of the clan came to attend. Oops, I forgot. , they are going to attend the New Year’s Eve banquet.”

"I heard that my sister held the ceremony in the side hall of Liangyi Palace. Mother, how can this head wife hold the ceremony in the side hall? How is that different from taking a concubine?"

Meng Wenlan pretended to be innocent and asked Mrs. Hu, but Mrs. Hu didn't answer at all and said with a dark face: "Stop talking."

It was a good time to ridicule Meng Wenyao's sloppy wedding. How could Meng Wenlan not say anything? She glanced at Liu Sangyu who kept wiping her tears and said: "It's a pity, Aunt Liu. We will all go to the palace to attend the banquet later. Auntie will be alone." It’s home.”

"Sister also enters the palace?"

In previous years, the palace banquets were always attended by Meng Shangshu and Hu alone. Meng Wenlan also went this time. Could it be because of the fourth prince?

"Yes, the imperial concubine specially sent a carriage here. Unfortunately, during the palace banquet, my sister has to stay alone in the bridal chamber, so we can't see her."

"How could it be? When my sister marries the fourth prince, we sisters will have plenty of opportunities to meet."

As soon as Meng Wenyao finished speaking, Mrs. Hu hurriedly urged: "Okay, stop talking, the sedan chair is coming."

This wedding was really sloppy. Meng Wenyao's sedan chair followed the people who entered the palace for the banquet. Not many people knew that the sixth prince was getting married today unless they deliberately inquired.

When we arrived at the Liangyi Hall, the surroundings were deserted, and the people watching the ceremony were deserted.

However, Li Heng's extended hand was extremely warm. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Meng Wenyao was sent into the main hall of Chengming Hall by Li Heng.

"I have to go to the New Year's Eve banquet. You should wash up and rest first. Don't wait for me."

"Okay, Your Highness, drink less wine."

Seeing Li Heng change out of his wedding clothes and disappear into the night, Meng Wenyao felt distressed.

It was obviously the wedding banquet of the legitimate son of the middle palace, but he could not get congratulations from anyone, and he had to go to congratulate the emperor with all the courtiers.

After this year, it may not be long before they all have to leave the capital together, away from the center of power, and live a life where their destiny is controlled by others.

Meng Wenyao felt endless sadness. She hugged the quilt and sat on the bed waiting for Li Heng to come back.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Heng was helped back by the eunuch. Seeing Meng Wenyao still waiting for him, he asked softly: "Why don't you sleep, but you feel cold?"

Pointing to the bowl of medicine on the table, Meng Wenyao said: "It is said that Qinzheng Dian personally ordered His Highness to drink it. Your Highness should drink it quickly."

Li Heng looked at the soup on the table, snorted lightly, and drank it all in one gulp.

Looking back, Meng Wenyao was looking at him with stern eyes. Her face immediately softened. She walked to the bedside, leaned over and hugged Meng Wenyao, saying guiltily: "I started drinking it when I came out of the cold palace. It's useless. Don't get your hopes up, otherwise Only disappointment."

Meng Wenyao thought about the large number of pills she had mixed into the soup, and smiled: "Okay, just let everything happen."

The north wind was howling outside the palace, and Meng Wenyao was hugged tightly by Li Heng. For the first time, she felt that the bed could be so warm.

The bride wanted to serve tea on the second day to acknowledge her marriage. Since no one cared about Meng Wenyao and Li Heng's marriage, the nuns in the palace just asked Meng Wenyao to go to the imperial concubine's palace to pay her respects.

Early the next morning, Meng Wenyao went to Hanguang Hall to pay his respects to the imperial concubine.

Entering the main hall, Meng Wenyao was far away from the imperial concubine when she was stopped by the palace maid. Although she was not separated by a screen like the first time, looking at the distance, the imperial concubine was either preventing her from poisoning her, or she really didn't want to see her.

Meng Wenyao saluted and said hello indifferently: "I would like to express my greetings to the noble concubine."

"reward."

The imperial concubine pointed lazily and said: "You and Lan'er are sisters. From now on, when we are in the same palace, we will be more friendly than others. Lan'er can help me entertain the guests."

Only then did Meng Wenyao realize that Meng Wenlan was also in the imperial concubine's palace. Meng Wenlan took a jade bracelet from Nanny Ye's hand in a flattering manner and gave it to Meng Wenyao with a little contempt.

"Sister, come with me to sit in the side hall."

Seeing Meng Wenlan's master-like attitude, Meng Wenyao felt very funny. She was very curious whether Meng Wenlan knew that she was going to be the concubine of the fourth prince.

When they arrived at the side hall, Meng Wenlan's face suddenly turned cold, and she said sarcastically: "It's just a jade bracelet, but it can make you so happy. I have never seen the world."

Ignoring Meng Wenlan's sarcasm, Meng Wenyao put the jade bracelet on her hand, looked around and said with a smile: "Sister, you are so disdainful. It must be that the meeting gift the imperial concubine gave you is better than mine."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The fourth prince and I haven't gotten married yet. If the concubine wants to give us a meeting gift, she has to wait until I serve tea." Meng Wenlan said, with a blush on her face.

"When the fourth prince and I get married, I don't know how grand the scene will be. Unfortunately, if my sister goes to the fiefdom, she may not be able to see it. My sister got married yesterday, and the civil and military officials in the court didn't seem to know. Such a deserted wedding, My sister must have been very wronged yesterday."

After listening to Meng Wenlan's arrogant words, Meng Wenyao finally laughed: "Don't you know, sister?"
