As early as during the fruit banquet, she felt that many people secretly knew that Princess Chu was pregnant.
Otherwise, why would Princess Zhangyu suddenly bump into Princess Chu's belly?
How could these people know that Princess Chu was pregnant? Didn't it come from King Chu who liked to make a lot of noises?
"I just want to see if he can find out on his own if I don't tell him personally."
When mentioning this, Princess Chu was really angry and funny.
"But when I came back to see me this time, I hinted to him that I had gained some weight. He just said that gaining weight was a good thing and didn't think about it at all. Do you think it's irritating or not?"
Ye Fuxun laughed.
I'm afraid only Princess Chu can bear with King Chu's naivety.
Princess Chu stood up and said: "Thank you sister for clarifying my doubts. I am inconvenient after all, so I won't stay any longer."
Since Ji Yannuo returned to court as normal, he has been as busy as Ye Fuxun expected.
And the concubines in the backyard are also very busy.
One or two people said goodbye and then quickly returned to their respective courtyards. Those who practiced dancing, those who played the voice, and those who played the piano and painted. Everyone rolled up their sleeves and worked hard, just waiting for the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the contrary, Ye Fuxun, who agreed to Ji Yannuo's vow to win the first place in order to defend his innocence, lived a leisurely life.
The most important thing is to go to Zhu Meiren’s place to study delicious food together.
And it's extremely efficient.
In less than ten days, the two of them sorted out desserts and snacks suitable for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. They are all nourishing and nourishing, so that people can not only satisfy their cravings, but also eat more and more beautiful!
Very satisfied.
But as Xiao Yu saw the days passing by, she was worried: "My dear, didn't you say you want to take first place at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, why aren't you ready!"
She knows that her mother-in-law doesn't care much about anything except eating.
You can't just perform the most beautiful eating act in front of His Highness and win the first place, right?
Even if His Highness is fooled into giving the Empress the first place, he still won’t be able to convince everyone!
After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Ye Fuxun laughed: "The performances at this banquet are all covered with veils. Even if I want to show eating, I can't."
"Then my dear, why don't you hurry up and practice!" Xiaoyu pouted so much that she could hang a bottle of oil.
"I am practicing every day!" Ye Fuxun felt sorry for himself.
Ye Fuxun gets up as early as Ji Yannuo every day.
It was really boring at night in ancient times, so she went to bed early, and by the time Ji Yannuo got up, she had already slept well.
After seeing Ji Yannuo off every day, she would play the Seven Birds Play twice in the yard.
After persisting for a period of time, not only do you feel refreshed, but you also feel that your whole person has become lighter and more agile.
I have the illusion that if she continues to practice, she will become a heroine of a generation!
Ye Fuxun took out a walnut wood snack box and handed it to Ji Yannuo: "Your Highness, these are snow-skin mooncakes. They are delicious and not greasy. Can you go into the palace and give them to the Queen Mother today?"
Ji Yannuo took the box and pinched her nose lovingly: "Have you made fresh food again?"
"My concubine just gave me an idea," Ye Fuxun wrinkled his nose, "It was made by Zhu Meiren herself."
Ji Yannuo automatically ignored the names other than Ye Fuxun, handed the snack box to Xu An, turned around and held Ye Fuxun in his arms: "You haven't told me yet, what talent will you perform at the family banquet tonight?"
Ye Fuxun grinned: "I promised not to tell His Highness. Your Highness, you will know in the evening!"
"I'm waiting for Ah Xun to take first place tonight." Ji Yannuo kissed the corner of her mouth, with a different meaning in his eyes.
Ye Fuxun thought for a while and said mysteriously: "Whether I can win the first place depends on Your Highness."
Ji Yannuo raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask, but Ye Fuxun reached out and pushed him out: "If you don't leave the house, you will be late."
After evening.
As soon as the sky turned dark blue, the Prince's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful lanterns everywhere, making it a joyful sight.
In order to make it easier to enjoy the moon, the family banquet was held in the large open-air courtyard.
A venue for performances was enclosed in the center of the courtyard, and seats for banquets were placed around the venue.
This year the seating arrangement is unique.
There is only one seat in the front position, and it was definitely set up for Ji Yannuo.
From both sides of the main head down, circular seats were arranged. In front of the seats, gauze curtains were hung diagonally, which not only blocked the figures of the concubines, but also allowed the concubines to watch the performance.
The purpose was very simple, which was to prevent Ji Yannuo from seeing the faces of the concubines clearly.
In this way, when it was the concubines' turn to perform, he would not be able to guess who the performer was by missing someone at the table.
Not only that, there is a special feature of the concubines sitting at the table today, that is, they do not follow the seat rules and sit randomly.
This shows that the Crown Princess really put a lot of thought into it.
"Your Highness has no way of judging which performer is Concubine Ye," the Crown Princess sat on the left side of the ring. She glanced at Ye Fuxun in the corner, her red lips slightly raised, "Then the other concubines will have a chance to win.
.”
Bicui poured tea for her and complimented in a low voice: "What the empress said is true."
That's natural.
She remembered that at the last moving banquet of Mingyue Palace, Her Highness's seat had been set up next to hers, but His Highness sat next to Ye Fuxun without even looking. She was really angry.
Let me ask, whose master does not sit in the most honorable position?
Only His Highness would act so insistently and not care about worldly opinions at all.
The princess felt very angry.
Since this is the case, then simply place His Highness in a high position alone, and no one can even think of sitting next to His Highness!
The concubines sat down early and looked at the novel family banquet venue excitedly and nervously. After waiting for a long time, Ji Yannuo finally arrived.
As soon as Ji Yannuo entered the courtyard, he glanced at Ye Fuxun and glanced at Xu An with a slight frown.
Eunuch Xu reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess sent someone to report yesterday that this year's family banquet will be different from previous years. Moreover, after the concubines have performed, you still need to select the top three."
"I am here to choose?" Ji Yannuo raised an eyebrow.
That day in Mingyue Palace, the Crown Princess sounded like she had no intention of letting him choose.
If it was his choice, there would be no need for those irrelevant people in the backyard to waste their efforts.
He naturally chose his own Ah Xun.
Eunuch Xu laughed quickly and said: "Originally, the Crown Princess planned to let all the concubines vote to determine the top three, but Concubine Ye said that it would be unfair, and suggested that it would be more appropriate for Your Highness to make the selection."
Then he explained to Ji Yannuo what Ye Fuxun said when he greeted him that day.
In fact, he had wanted to talk about it a few days ago, but when His Highness heard that it was related to the family banquet hosted by the Crown Princess, he gave him a cold look.
The words came to his lips and he could only swallow them back.
According to him, Concubine Ye is so witty and intelligent!
