After the ceremony, King Jin and Shen Ning stood beside Concubine Yi and followed the etiquette to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday.
The emperor's eyes fell on Xiao Weijing, but then he looked away, and he and the empress congratulated the Queen Mother on her birthday.
Shen Ning's eyes were sharp and she noticed that he still had a grudge against him, but there was no disgust as before, and his indifference and alienation were still obvious.
It seems that he has already made his own judgment on the issue of whether he is his biological flesh and blood.
But Xiao Weijing's identity is still not publicized.
Haha, if you had controlled your belt, would you be as embarrassed as you are today?
The sins you do must be borne by your children.
Well, this emperor was good in everything, but he died too late.
The birthday celebration was carried out in an orderly manner, and soon it was the turn of the prince and his concubines to present gifts. A huge gold-embroidered Baijia quilt was sewn stitch by stitch by the women in the prince's backyard, which took more than three months.
The Queen Mother was very happy and rewarded the two concubines on the spot, "Well, you all have good intentions."
Shen Ning almost couldn't hold it back. This was a big project. As long as there were fewer women in the male protagonist's backyard, it would be impossible to get them out.
The gifts are dazzling, both unnecessary and expensive. Some people even transport Taihu longevity stones from thousands of miles away.
The double-sided embroidery presented by Xiao Weijing was of average quality and was neither eye-catching nor outstanding. However, the Queen Mother expressed her heartfelt condolences and took out the hairpin from her bun and gave it to Shen Ning, "You have been married to the King of Jin for a long time, and the Ai family is still waiting to have a great-grandson." .”
Not to mention it's okay, many of them are jealous.
The emperor still cared about the Queen Mother, and was especially fond of Concubine Yi. Xiao Weijing's status was just around the corner.
Xiao Weijing thanked him and helped Shen Ning stand up.
After the royal descendants presented their gifts, the emperor accompanied the Queen Mother to Taiming Palace to prepare for the birthday banquet.
The clothes were too complicated. Shen Ning lifted up her skirt and walked down the steps when someone suddenly pushed her from behind.
His body was unsteady and he couldn't stand firm, so he threw himself forward.
There are dozens of steps. If you fall down, you will not die, but you will be injured, and you may even be disfigured.
At the critical moment, the emperor supported the queen mother and walked in front. If she rolled, she would hit the person in front and cause a domino.
If the Queen Mother, Emperor and others are good or bad, she won't be able to chop off her heads.
Shen Ning is so sad, God wants her to die!
Just when he bumped into the person in front of him, his slender waist was suddenly hugged, and Shen Ning was pulled back and bumped into a strong and hard chest.
After a false alarm, she was held firmly in Xiao Weijing's arms.
Shen Ning was angry and was about to see who was plotting against her, but he hugged her tightly and wouldn't let go.
Due to this delay, the two of them fell behind.
Shen Ning was about to ask him, but saw his sleeve flash slightly and a piece of gravel shot out.
"ah……"
There was an exclamation from the front, and the girl in gorgeous clothes fell from the steps, lost control, and hit the person in front of her.
The Emperor, Queen Mother and others had just stepped down the steps, but those behind them who couldn't dodge were in trouble. People piled on top of each other and rolled down the steps...
Just as Xiao Junjun was about to lift up the steps, someone behind him bumped into him and he fell heavily to the ground.
The scene was a mess, and when the eunuchs and maids helped him up, Xiao Junjun's hair fell off, and blood poured out of his forehead. His handsome face with disheveled hair was covered with blood. His face, which used to be like a crown jewel, now looked particularly ferocious.
Concubine Zhao's face hit the hard step and was bruised and disfigured. She was so shocked that she screamed on the spot, "Your Majesty, my concubine's face, my concubine's face..."
Princess Zhaohua, who caused the trouble, was the beloved daughter of Concubine Rui, and was one of the most favored princesses by the emperor.
Concubine Rui and the Queen are close to each other on the surface, but secretly use all means to compete for favor. Recently, there has been a tendency to quarrel with each other.
Seeing that the prince was embarrassed and injured, with blood flowing out of his forehead, the queen was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she immediately scolded: "Zhaohua, you are usually rash, forget it, today is the Queen Mother's birthday, why are you so ignorant of etiquette?"
"It's not me...it's..."
Zhaohua was aggrieved and angry, so he looked back to find the culprit who had harmed him.
I was about to say that it was Shen Ning who did it, but I saw that she was still standing far away on the steps, with more than a dozen steps in between, and I couldn't reach her even if I tried to push her.
But she just knew that it must have been Shen Ning, or that bastard Xiao Weijing!
The Queen Mother was frightened and had an accident in her good life. The Emperor was furious and sternly accused Zhaohua of being reckless.
Zhaohua couldn't explain clearly, and he cried so much that it was like pear blossoms and rain.
Concubine Rui Guihui knew that her daughter was being plotted, but she still kept silent and suffered the consequences.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Zhaohua didn't do it on purpose. She didn't accidentally fall down while rushing down the steps." She quickly explained for her daughter, "Zhaohua, don't you admit your mistake right away?"
Zhaohua couldn't explain clearly, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and apologized with great grievance.
The queen was furious and scolded her a few more times.
The emperor frowned and quietly took two steps away from her, "Quickly announce the imperial doctor."
It is unlucky to see blood on a good day.
The scene was chaotic and really lively.
Zhaohua? Shen Ning remembered it, and was surprised that Xiao Weijing was so vengeful.
What should I do? It feels great to have reported on the spot.
Slowly walking down the steps, Shen Ning wanted to struggle against Xiao Weijing's hand on her waist, but he didn't let go.
So, I pinched his psoas muscle secretly.
Xiao Weijing snorted coldly, "You want to get out too?"
In front of everyone, Shen Ning didn't want to fight, so she could only let him hug her and walk away.
Xiao Junjun clutched his forehead and went to the imperial doctor's office with the support of his two concubines. Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Shen Ning.
He attended the birthday banquet in time and the emperor did not delay.
Shen Ning walked behind the team and when turning along the lake, she saw the emperor standing next to the queen mother, seemingly avoiding the queen's approach.
What's going on?
Suspecting that the emperor and empress were having conflicts, Shen Ning couldn't help but quicken her pace and quietly approached the empress.
Before entering the Taiming Palace, Shen Ning approached the queen quietly and almost covered her nose on the spot.
The graceful and noble emperor exudes a fishy stench.
As a queen, it is impossible for you to be slovenly. It should be due to physical illness.
Last time she entered the palace, there was nothing wrong with the queen, but this time it was so obvious?
Apparently, the queen was ill without knowing it.
The slaves didn't have the guts to tell the truth, but the emperor was not a slave. He would not say it to his face because of his face, but he was very honest physically and would avoid it.
Shen Ning looked at her quietly and saw that there was no sign of liver cirrhosis on her face. Where did the fishy smell come from?
And the taste is more like fermentation from the inside out.
Shen Ning thought about it and couldn't help but think of what Li Zhuzhu had said. She had a vague guess and couldn't help but laugh happily.
Maybe she can really do it.
As a queen, she always keeps an eye on everything, so how could she fail to notice the emperor's unusual behavior.
At first, she was surprised as to why the emperor came to her house to spend the night. He found an excuse to leave before the bench was warm, and he never came back again.
Had she not been pressed repeatedly, the wet nurse would not have told the truth.
The queen was filled with shame and anger, and she really hated Concubine Rui. She must have drugged the lotus seed soup to cause this problem in her body.
This kind of thing should not be spread to the outside world, so we could only quietly ask a doctor from outside the palace, but even after several visits, the symptoms could not be found.
She used a lot of aromatherapy, but instead of being able to cover up the fishy smell on her body, it became more and more obvious, making the emperor think she was eating Zihe Che.
The emperor's avoidance undoubtedly stabbed her in the heart.
But what can she do? She can't hide and hide from people.
