When the Ming Dynasty was intrigue, the harem showed a festive atmosphere.

With the eldest son Zhu Yijun being finalized as the crown prince, the harem has also been preparing for this recently. As long as tomorrow passes, Zhu Yijun will be the legitimate crown prince of the current dynasty.

Generally speaking, once a prince is enthroned as a crown prince, it is difficult to be deposed, and he will definitely be the next monarch of the Ming Dynasty.

However, whether it is Zhu Yijun's biological mother, Concubine Li, or the palace maids and eunuchs who usually serve the eldest son of the emperor, they are already full of expectations for tomorrow.

Chengxi Palace is bathing in a brilliant spring light.

At the invitation of Concubine Li, senior wife of Duke Cheng and other senior edicts came together and prepared a gift to congratulate the eldest son Zhu Yijun on his enthronement as the crown prince.

Concubine Li was a greedy woman. When faced with the congratulations given by the wife of the imperial decree, she naturally accepted them all and looked particularly happy with her big belly.

"The concubine's belly is so round, she must be the prince again!"

"Isn't it? If you add this little prince, the imperial concubine will add two princes to our Ming Dynasty!"

"The eldest son of the emperor is obviously a wise ruler and prime minister. In the future, he will surely create a prosperous era for the Ming Dynasty, and Concubine Li will also be admired by the world!!"

...

When the ladies of the imperial decree gave gifts, they surrounded Concubine Li like stars, but they all congratulated Concubine Li.

Concubine Li is already ten months pregnant. She is about to give birth, but she should not do too many moves. She can only sit on the chair with her round belly.

Faced with the constant compliments of the ladies of the imperial decree, although they were saying some humble words, they felt like they were eating honey in their hearts.

But I know that my husband is not a good material for governing the country. Now, seeing this eldest son is smart and smart, I also look forward to the beautiful scene of his son becoming the emperor and becoming the empress dowager.

"Don't just stand and talk, hurry up and take your seat!" The eldest princess Zhu Luxi saw a group of maids surrounding Concubine Li and kept talking, so she walked over and drove her away.

After learning that her nephew was crowned the crown prince, the eldest princess rushed to the capital from Ningjin a few days ago.

Since she bet on Concubine Li, she now sees things going as she expects, as if her own son was crowned the crown prince.

The same is true. Today, the eldest son resolutely volunteered to take the responsibility of greeting guests on the grounds that Concubine Li was big, and even regarded himself as half of the hostess.

Concubine Li looked at the eldest princess driving the person away directly, but she was secretly displeased. She knew that the eldest princess was extremely stingy and inconvenient to blame her.

The eldest princess turned around and saw Wu Qiuyu sitting aside talking to Hu Zi, and immediately said sarcastically: "Madam Lin, why did you bring your Hu Zi to the palace again? This child's crying will dilute the joy!"

Huh?

Mrs. Guo and others present couldn't help but look at the eldest princess, not to mention that the eldest princess also brought his son over. Now she is undoubtedly targeting Wu Qiuyu with her cry and joy.

"This time, it was the empress who brought Hu Zi into the palace, and my Hu Zi would not cry!" Wu Qiuyu seemed serious in the face of the princess's trouble.

Hu Zi is nearly two years old this year. His face, mouth and nose are like Wu Qiuyu printed on the same mold. He looks very obediently sitting beside Wu Qiuyu. His big eyes that look very similar to Hu Niu are looking at the princess.

"Although Hu Zi is only two years old, he is often brought to my house and always takes the initiative to say hello to the old man. I haven't seen any child as spiritual as him!" Mrs. Cheng Guogong saw that the eldest princess was so difficult, and he stood up to defend himself.

"It is said that there is no dog son in the generals. The eldest son of Ge Lao, is also a smart person. In the future, he will definitely be as top scorer as Ge Lao Lin!" Mrs. Guo and Wu Qiuyu are now very close, and they also stood up to express their opinions.

Seeing more imperial ladies coming forward, Concubine Li suddenly said, "Huzi, don't cry. Today can be regarded as the prince's festive banquet!"

this……

When he heard the argument of Concubine Li, the wife of the imperial decree present felt something was wrong, and this was obviously still maintaining the eldest son.

"Imperial Concubine, my aunt said that crying is not a man, so I won't cry!" Hu Zi's voice was very pleasant and he responded seriously.

Huh?

Many maids of the imperial decree were secretly surprised to see Hu Zi's appearance so well-behaved and sensible, but they got Wu Qiuyu's good face and Lin Qinran's good brain. When they grew up, they must be a talented and beautiful young man.

If it weren't for the wrong time now and the threshold for the Lin family was too high, many of the maids present were thinking about forming children and in-laws with the Lin family.

Concubine Li looked at such a well-behaved Hu Zi, and her eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of jealousy, but she kept a smile and said, "Hehe... Hu Zi is so well-behaved!"

At this point, no conflict was triggered, but some small contradictions had been laid.

Wu Qiuyu is no longer the daughter of the Wu family who didn't know anything back then. After so many years of hardship, she has become Mrs. Lin who can stand alone.

This time, the queen wanted to bring Hu Zi to the palace. In order to leave a good impression on Concubine Li, she also specially prepared sandworms and a valuable gift for Zhu Yijun.

Although her husband only urged and regulated the process of canonizing the eldest son of the emperor and never jumped out to clearly oppose the canonization of the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Yijun, she clearly felt the alienation and indifference of Concubine Li.

Even though she had already guessed this, she still felt uncomfortable when she saw that the precious gift she gave to Concubine Li over the years was finally treated like this. It was because she had been fed the ungrateful wolf for so many years.

It was just that, when a eunuch suddenly came from outside and said, "The Queen is here!"

"Empress Jin An!"

When Duke Cheng and his wife, they all stood up and looked at Empress Chen, and looked respectfully at Empress Chen.

Empress Chen wore a phoenix pearl and jade crown on her head, a big red sleeved dress with a shi cape and a red silk dress on her upper body, and her clothes were embroidered with gold dragon and phoenix patterns, showing her noble temperament.

When he entered the pavilion and saw everyone present, he said gently: "Everyone doesn't need to be polite, get up!"

"Thank you Empress!" The decree wife present felt that Empress Chen was more stylish and said with a regular thanks.

"My mother pays me a blessing to the queen's sister-in-law. The concubine is pregnant and there is no need to show her to the queen!" The eldest princess also stepped forward and explained on behalf of the concubine Li.

Concubine Li was hesitating whether she wanted to get up and make a gesture, but she saw the eldest princess standing in front of her, but she didn't plan to get up and greet her.

After all, she is the biological mother of the oldest son of the current emperor. The real empress dowager in the future should not be too afraid of this unsupportive Empress Chen.

Queen Chen is not a difficult person. Although she is a little disliked by the eldest princess’s approach, she still faces Concubine Li’s gaze and says: “Sister, we are all our own family, so there is no need to see each other!”

"Yes!" Concubine Li responded, then pointed to the first one that had been left out and said, "Sister, I can't salute you, please take your seat!"

Empress Chen was not polite, so she sat on the empty seat, but her beautiful eyes searched for Zhu Yijun and said, "Why didn't you see Jun'er?"

However, the ladies of the imperial decree looked at the dining table behind them, and saw a fat man who looked six or seven years old eating delicious sandworms, looking relished.

With Hu Zi's well-behaved personality, Zhu Yijun, who is already six years old, looks very similar to Longqing, but has a good stomach, which makes her body fatter than that of ordinary children.

"Sister-in-law, the prince is here!" The eldest princess has been paying attention to the movements of the eldest son Zhu Yijun, and also helped explain whereabouts.

Huh?

The maids present couldn't help but look at each other. Although they knew that the eldest son Zhu Yijun would be crowned the crown prince tomorrow, they were not the crown prince after all.

But it is difficult to reject this title. After all, the prince is a day away, and the title now can undoubtedly increase his favorability.

But I don’t know whether the eldest princess was wrong or did it on purpose, which led to everyone re-examination of the eldest princess Zhu Luyu, who has always been despised.

Queen Chen seemed to have not noticed this common sense mistake, but she turned her eyes to Zhu Yijun who was eating, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Jun'er, come and greet the queen!" Concubine Li served Empress Chen in the past, but now she is under Empress Chen. She immediately called her son who was eating sandworms and said.

Zhu Yijun is very fond of this kind of food produced in western Guangdong. He ate it with relish. When he heard his mother's cry, he had to come over with a porcelain plate.

After all, he is a six-year-old child and has been pampered since childhood. Although he may not be very polite, he still bowed to the queen in a regular manner: "Jun'er pays homage to the queen, and wish the queen a thousand years of life!"

Queen Chen looked at Zhu Yijun, who was slightly obese, and she also liked it very much. She especially found that Zhu Yijun's eyes were indeed very similar to Longqing.

"Jun'er, give some of your sandworms to the Queen!" Concubine Li looked at Zhu Yijun holding the sandworms as if they were treasures, and immediately made a suggestion.

When Zhu Yijun heard Concubine Li's ruthless request, he immediately made a food-protecting action and shook his head and said, "No, I won't give it to you!"

this……

When the ladies of the imperial decree heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Although Empress Chen is not Zhu Yijun's biological mother, the royal family is like an ordinary family. If Zhu Yijun disrespects his mistress, it is a manifestation of unfilial piety.

Concubine Li knew that she was disgusted with unfiliality this time. In addition, she had already made repeated instructions, but she didn't expect that the chain would fall off when she saw that the East Palace ceremony was about to be held. Her face suddenly became very ugly, and she immediately stared at her selfish son with resentment.

Queen Chen didn't think this was a big deal, so she took the initiative to rescue her: "Haha... the prince knows how to cherish his own things, and he must be optimistic about the Zhu family's territory in the future!"

"Yes! I have known to protect my own things since I was a child, and I will definitely be able to take good care of my Zhu family's country when I grow up!" The eldest princess's eyes lit up immediately, and she also echoed.

When Concubine Li saw Empress Chen giving the steps, she immediately went downstairs and said, "Haha, this is a fact. Jun'er's things are never allowed to be touched, and even my mother is unwilling to give them! Especially this sandworm, he had been talking about it for a long time before, but fortunately Mrs. Lin brought them here today!"

When Wu Qiuyu heard Concubine Li mention him, she also faced Concubine Li's gaze and said humbly: "As long as the eldest son likes me, I will continue to send the best sandworms to the capital."

Although she had a little distant relationship with Concubine Li, Concubine Li deliberately mentioned the sandworm several times, so she naturally knew what to do. In particular, she had to give gifts with care, which was the principle of her mother teaching her.

The same is true. In addition to giving Concubine Li a valuable gift, he also specially prepared dry sandworms for the eldest son Zhu Yijun.

Queen Li looked at the columnar body in Zhu Yijun's plate, but thought that Tang Su'er told her that this was actually a bug, but she had no appetite for this deliciousness.

"Mom, I'm going to play in the back!" Zhu Yijun was still a six-year-old child after all, and he asked in a playful manner.

Concubine Li usually disciplined her son very strictly, but today she really couldn't take into account too many things. She immediately waved her hand and said, "Go!"

"En'er, accompany the prince's cousin to the back garden to play!" The eldest princess cared that Zhu Yijun was closer to her son Li Chengen, and immediately encouraged her son to say.

"I won't go!" Li Chengen looked at Zhu Yijun, but shook his head firmly.

The eldest princess's face was stunned immediately, especially when she felt the eyes of the people around her gathered on her, her whole face immediately showed a bit of threat: "This kid, I'll ask you to play with your prince's cousin, don't let me say it again!"

Lee Chengen was also a spoiled child since childhood, but he did not sell the eldest princess’s account, so he ran out towards the palace gate.

He was too old to follow Zhu Yijun, but Zhu Yijun was also a leader who was above the top, but he was unwilling to play with Zhu Yijun, who had to tolerate him at all times than him.

Huh?

The wife of the imperial decree present looked at the situation of the two mothers and sons, but silently looked at the tiger son who was still obediently sitting beside Wu Qiuyu and eating candy. She found that the family style was really impossible to compare with the Lin family.

Since the emperor has not arrived for a long time, it is not yet time for the meal to start, everyone continues to eat melon seeds and chat about everything here.

When Queen Chen heard the eldest princess bragging about how great the Feng Shui master she had found, she was already trying to defame Wu Daoxing as worthless, but she didn't like this sister-in-law who was born with a pair of snobbish eyes. In addition, the two words Feng Shui made her feel blocked, so she found an excuse to go to the back garden to relax.

In fact, it is absolutely impossible to say that she does not want to have a child of her own.

But this thing is not something she can ask for as long as she wants. Even if she is really willing to accept such cause and effect as Master Wu, not to mention whether she can really realize this long-cherished wish, the cost of cause and effect seems to be too much.

After so many years in the palace, she has seen through many things. Troubles often come from having to ask for too much. As long as she is not greedy for power or profit, she can also live her life safely.

Tang Su'er was already like a person next to Empress Chen. She followed the other two palace maids respectfully behind Empress Chen, and walked around the Moon Arch to the back garden.

The group had just walked into the sunny back garden, but when their eyes looked at the pool not far away, the hearts of people, including Queen Chen, immediately rose to their throats.
