In the first two months of spring, it is the birthday of the Empress Dowager.

There was a big banquet in the palace, but all this had nothing to do with Concubine Zhao, who was still ill.Jingren Palace was deserted, the little maids and eunuchs in the courtyard were either sweeping the courtyard, or leaning on the palace gate to listen to the sound of opera singing from afar.

In the tea room, the palace maids who used to have a good relationship with Guizhi all bowed their heads and looked gloomy.Who would have thought that Guizhi, who had been together in the palace for so many years, was actually the emperor's spy?Guizhi was kicked out and completely disappeared in the palace, probably dead!Thinking of this, and thinking about Concubine Zhao Gui who was still seriously ill on the bed, no one wanted to talk anymore, and the entire Jingren Palace looked more and more lonely.

Different from the deserted and quiet Jingren Palace, the Compassion Ning Palace is bustling and bustling.

This time, the entire palace banquet was handed over to Concubine Tong to take care of it.Concubine Tong is very ambitious, she only wants to make a good impression on the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager!

Concubine Tong always liked to dress elegantly and refinedly, but this time she was wearing a gorgeous red flag dress with embroidered flowers and begonias at the palace banquet.The two temples on the forehead are gathered on one side, and a tuft of broken hair is left on the other side. Two gilt five-phoenix hairpins with tassels are inserted obliquely on the back, and a pair of orbs matching the hairpins are hung on the earlobes.

She has a beautiful appearance, and after being dressed like this, she looks very different from before. She looks bright, fresh and radiant. When she entered the Compassionate Ning Palace, many concubines gasped in surprise.

Seeing everyone's attention on her, Concubine Tong was even more proud!She hurriedly led the concubines to greet the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager first, and after chatting for a few words, invited the Empress Dowager and the empress dowager to drive to the palace where the banquet was held.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the palace banquet officially began.

First, Kangxi said some words of congratulations, then Concubine Tong got up with a smile, and led the concubines to salute the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother again. Kneel down.

"The concubine congratulates the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Jin An Wanfu!"

"Everyone get up!"

The imperial concubines stood up respectfully, they were not allowed to sit down yet, so they could only stand on one side in silence.

Immediately afterwards, the prince took the lead, Chenghu and Baoqing retreated three steps and followed him closely to greet the empress dowager and the empress dowager together.After the empress dowager called out again, it was the turn of the fifth elder brother who was carried forward by the nanny, and the sixth elder brother fell to the ground like two little fur balls and greeted in a childlike voice.Then came the Eldest Princess and the Second Princess. With smiles on their faces, they held a little girl in one hand, and together they asked blessings to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and said festive words in their mouths.

"Good grandchildren of the Ai family." The empress dowager laughed from ear to ear, calling for the elder brothers to sit down, and then let the concubines sit down together.

Seeing this, Kangxi laughed and said, "Today is your grandma's birthday, and it is a good day for great joy. I will also rename my elder brothers today. In the future, the crown prince will be renamed Yinfeng, and the second elder brother will be renamed Yinhu. The third elder brother was renamed Yinyi, the fifth elder brother was renamed Yinfu, and the sixth elder brother was changed to Yinbi. The newly added princes were all named according to Yin characters."

After a pause, Kangxi said again: "The eldest princess is named Foer Guochun. Jin named him Princess Heshuo."

The eldest princess was stunned, and stood up with tears in her eyes, overjoyed: "My servant, I would like to thank Huang Ama! I would like to thank Mama Wuku, and thank you Emperor Grandmother!"

For the first time, she could speak confidently and confidently, calling Huang Ama directly without feeling guilty, and she didn't have to be afraid of strange eyes coming from all around, and she didn't have to look at her second sister again.

The second princess looked at Kangxi expectantly, but when Kangxi finished speaking, he sat down directly. The second princess's smile froze, and her mouth was aggrieved.

"Okay! Okay! The word emperor is well chosen! Yinzhe, descendants are endless. Foerguo spring, auspicious is also true. The old saying of the Ai family repeats, if one of you can conceive a dragon heir, there must be a big reward The Empress Dowager smiled from ear to ear, and got up to talk about the past and the present with a glass of wine in her hand, and finally said, "...Today is Aijia's birthday, everyone should eat and have fun!"

"The concubines would like to follow the orders of the Empress Dowager!" Concubine Tong was the first to agree, and the rest of the concubines followed suit.

This refreshing feeling made Concubine Tong want to laugh three times!

After the agenda was over, the elegant music was played, and the maids outside the palace came in with plates of delicacies in their hands, and placed them on the table in an orderly manner. There were treasures of water and land everywhere.It's just that the dishes for this banquet have been prepared since the morning, and the weather is very cold. Except for the emperor, the two empress dowagers and the concubines, the dishes were warmed on the stove. Most of the dishes in front of the other concubines were already completely cold Even pieces of white oil flowers formed.

The concubines were already familiar with the strangeness, and most of their eyes fell on the troupe on the stage.

Concubine Tong was probably the only one among the concubines who didn't focus on acting. She was serving dishes for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager with a smile on her face, and from time to time, she would kindly ask the elder brothers and Ge Ge if they were eating well. With a smile on the corner of the princess's mouth, she answered Concubine Tong's questions for her sisters.

Kangxi suppressed his smile, his eyes were deep, and he looked thoughtfully at Concubine Tong's gorgeous makeup, but he couldn't help thinking about Concubine Zhao in Jingren Palace.

"Ahem." The Empress Dowager coughed twice, looking at Kangxi worriedly.

Kangxi forced a smile, picked up the jug and poured a glass for the Empress Dowager.For a while, Kangxi and Concubine Tong poured wine and a dish, making the Empress Dowager smile.

But no matter how good the atmosphere above was, the tables of the other concubines were full of solemnity.Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and others who were sitting at the other table looked at Concubine Tong's displeasure and spit secretly.Even Chun Changzai in the distance looked at Concubine Tong from time to time, absently agreeing to talk to Wu Ya who was sitting beside her.

Wu Ya promised to laugh secretly - a mere person who is always here, is so jealous of Concubine Tong, and is not afraid of being caught by Concubine Tong and walking around!But when he turned his head and thought, he was not as good as her, so far it was just a promise, and his eyes couldn't help falling on Shu Concubine who was sitting in front and talking with Yi Concubine.

At this moment, a court lady was holding a cup of milky crucian carp soup and placed it on the table.

The crucian carp has been slightly fried in hot oil. It looks golden and crispy. It is served with snow-white soft tofu. It is boiled with green onion and ginger on high heat. It takes a full hour to simmer until it becomes milky white and has a mellow aroma. , and finally sprinkle a little chopped green onion on the soup to serve it out.

Just smelling the aroma made my lips salivate, and there was really one missing soup on the table, nobleman Ma Jia finally got some appetite.Withdrawing her eyes from the fifth elder brother and the second princess on the stage, she called the maids behind her to give each of the concubines present a bowl: "It's cold, my sisters also drink some hot soup to warm up." .”

"Hey! Thank you so much, sister!" Dai Jiachang smiled, and took a sip from the bowl. "This soup is very hot, and it's worth a try compared to other dishes."

But as soon as the small bowl was placed in front of Chunchang, Chunchang felt a little restless when he smelled the fish soup.

"Sister, why don't you take a sip?" Wu Ya promised to look at Chun Changzai worriedly, picked up the spoon and picked up the soup and blew a few breaths, slightly dipped in the soup and hurriedly urged: "This fish soup is very good."

"Hmm..." Chun Changzai was a little stiff, and he reluctantly took a sip, a fishy smell hit his taste buds, even if he covered his mouth and nose subconsciously, the smell penetrated into his nose like a gossamer, Chun Changzai's complexion turned pale. There was a "vomit--" sound.

She covered her lips, feeling nauseated and uncomfortable in her stomach, and felt dizzy and dizzy.

"Sister? What's wrong with sister?" Wu Yachang was busy supporting Chun Changzai, a strong fragrance came to his nostrils, and Chun Changzai's complexion became even worse!She just felt nauseated in her chest, couldn't bear it anymore, and vomited it out with a wow!

"Oh! What's the matter?" Concubine Hui was taken aback by the noisy voice behind her. She turned her head and saw that the heroine was Chun Chang from Chengqian Palace, her face was pale and her clothes were full of stains.

Can't drink fishy things, throw up, every sign doesn't mean...

Concubine Hui raised her eyebrows subconsciously, her eyes were filled with gloating and she turned her head to observe Concubine Tong's reaction carefully.

Let you pretend to be magnanimous!Pretend to be virtuous!Now give you a chance to continue pretending!

The smile on Concubine Tong's face suddenly froze—could it be that Chun Changzai's little hoof was pregnant?Obviously, she was stared at and drugged Chun Changzai every time she went to bed, she subconsciously turned her head to find Nanny Pang to ask what happened, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager's expression was indifferent, neither happy nor angry.

Concubine Tong trembled in her heart, she smiled subconsciously and said loudly: "Why don't you help Chun Changzai to rest in the side hall? Chao Lu, hurry up and ask the imperial physician to treat Chun Changzai well!"

"Yes!"

"I'm afraid my sister is pregnant?" Supporting Chun Changzai, Wu Ya agreed to speak enviously, her voice was quite high, and her eyes subconsciously fell on Chun Changzai's stomach.

"Pregnant?" Chun Chang was in the dark, and couldn't help but be overjoyed in the next second.

Could it be that she was really pregnant?

The Empress Dowager sat absent-mindedly on the stage, looking thoughtfully at the concubines sitting in the hall.They all talked with smiles on their faces, but their eyes slid across the direction of the side hall one by one, especially Concubine Tong, who had put the wrong vegetables several times without knowing it.

As for the pure and constant presence, I am afraid it is not a good one.

Otherwise, how could she be found pregnant at the time of Shengshou?

But no matter what you think, at least being pregnant is a good thing!The Empress Dowager took a sip of the wine, and said to Su Mala who was standing behind her, "Go and see, is the imperial doctor here?"

At this moment, the little eunuch who accompanied Chunchang to the side hall quickly ran back to the hall, and kowtowed excitedly: "Your Majesty! Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager! Great joy! Chunchang is pregnant, and it has been two months! "

"Okay, okay!" The Empress Dowager beamed with joy, "Reward! Ai family has a great reward!"

Concubine Tong hurriedly got up and squatted for blessings: "The concubine is here to thank the Empress Dowager for the reward on behalf of Chunchang."

"Concubines, congratulations to the empress dowager, congratulations to the emperor!" The concubines also stood up and congratulated tenderly.

On the contrary, Kangxi didn't speak, and his expression was also indifferent, and he just followed the Queen Mother's rewards according to the usual rewards and then skipped over.His eyes stayed on Wu Yayue, and finally he sneered.

What a smart guy.

The holy birthday feast was over, and in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, except for the crackling sound of burning charcoal in the gilded charcoal stove with carved dragons and phoenixes on the ground, the hall was silent.The Empress Dowager sat on the chair and closed her eyes slightly. Two little maids stood behind her, massaging and rubbing the back of the Empress Dowager's neck and shoulders with extremely familiar movements.

"...Tell me, what is Chun Chang Zai thinking?" The Empress Dowager's expression was very calm, but her movements of kneading the Buddhist beads on her wrist showed that her heart was completely different from her appearance.

She opened her eyes and looked at Su Mala in confusion: "Is she stupid or smart?"

Su Mala pursed her lips into a slight smile: "Master, Chunchangzai is naturally a fool."

Two months is the most unstable time for the fetus. If you don't pay attention to it, it will be impossible to keep the fetus?At this time, she revealed that she was pregnant, and she didn't know if she was really big-hearted or stupid!

"Hmph! If she reveals herself and wants to invite pets in Shengshou, then she is an idiot. Besides, the Emperor's Longevity Day will only be one month away. Wouldn't it be better if the Wanshou Festival breaks out? Yi Ai's family thinks there must be someone moving her." Hands and feet!" The Empress Dowager shook her head, her face was very gloomy, "It's an explosion on the Shengshou Festival, but it's really unpleasant for Aijia!"

"If you don't know you're pregnant, but someone else lures you out, isn't that the idiot among idiots?" Su Mala shook her head.

The corner of the empress dowager's mouth twitched, and she felt upset when she thought of this, but looking at Longsi, she could only tell her one more sentence: "Tomorrow, send someone to tell Concubine Tong, and finally there is another good news in the palace. , let Aijia keep an eye on her!"

"Yes, the servant understands!"

Kangxi probably really didn't expect that he could live for so many years and have so many children

The word "礻" doesn't really mean much...
