The Duke's Wife is Beautiful But Has a Dark Heart. Chapter 151

 Morning, harem.

 The emperor's concubines, children, and relatives all gathered in the main hall, waiting for the emperor to come out.

Standing beside Concubine Xiang were King Wu, Princess Wu, Prince Yongqing, and the family members of the common people who had returned with King Wu. The imperial concubine is the biological mother of King Wu and the old man next to the emperor.

Mother and son have not seen each other for many years, and they are not very close. Maybe they are trying to avoid people.

 On the other side, Prince An and his family accompanied Concubine Xian. King An is considered an old son of the emperor, and his children are still young now.

Concubine Xian has no abilities and is stable and low-key. She was related to the queen, who had no children, but she treated King An well and stood up for him every step of the way. He is the only prince the queen can give good looks to.

 Wang Yun died outside a few years ago, and his mother and concubine also died of illness early.

The emperor feels a little distressed, maybe he is also relieved!

The special recruitment of Princess Yun and his son Yongping County King He and his daughter Yong'an County returned to Beijing, and they were all good for them.

 King Kang's mother and concubine are no longer here, and he has not had many heirs. Over the years, he has done several things to report to the emperor, and the emperor greatly appreciates them. There was also a conflict with what King An was in charge of, which caused King An's dissatisfaction.

There are also several concubines, either only having daughters but no sons, or having nothing at all. There is no need to worry about food and drink, but life is hard.

After the emperor reached his fifties, he became less interested in women. In the past few years, no new people have entered the palace. The old one dies, and the new one fails to replace it. So, there are only a few people now.

Beside them, there are three princesses, the emperor's cousin, and brothers and cousins.

 There are all kinds of people, a lot of people.

 I don't know what each of them is thinking in their hearts, but outwardly they are all friendly.

The emperor is suspicious and ruthless. These people can eat, drink and have fun, and it's no big deal if they get out of the circle. But there are some things that you must be careful about. Otherwise, the end will be tragic.

 He has killed his son before.

The prince was wrapped in thick mink skin and was helped in by the prince's concubine and grandson.

As soon as he came in, he bowed to Concubine Xiang and said, "Concubine Xiang, concubines... cousin." Although his complexion was not good, his breath was also weak. But the voice is gentle and gentle, and the manners are elegant.

No one dared to offend the prince because of his physical condition. Even Concubine Xiang quickly said: "Prince, please stop being so polite and sit inside quickly."

 Wu Wang and An Wang also stood up and stood with their hands down: "Second brother!"

The princes and others were even more respectful and courteous.

The princesses are usually flamboyant, but when it comes to the prince, they have to restrain themselves.

The prince nodded. He would not lack courtesy, but he would not be too polite either. Go to the very end, next to the emperor's throne.

 The princess helped him take off his thick mink skin. Taisun had a thin cloak on his arm and put it on him carefully.

Many people looked on with cold eyes, and laughed secretly in their hearts: This family is counting on this sick man, and they don't know how long he can survive. If you can't hold on any longer...opportunities and crises coexist!

 The prince sat on a chair covered with thick cushions.

The grandson treated his father very considerately and told the prince: "Today I am having dinner with the emperor's grandfather. You can only drink some hot water, and you can't touch the tea."

The prince looked at him and said mischievously: "Where's the wine?" After saying that, his mouth moved slightly, showing his greed.

The princess looked at her husband and son with tenderness.

“Ask your grandfather if he allows you to drink it, and your son will pour it for you.”

 “What are you asking me for?”

 A gentle voice, a little old man walked in from the side hall.

 Not tall and very thin.

 The eyebrows are very long, almost covering the upper eyelids.

Hands behind his back, he strolled out casually, without any trace of the majesty of the emperor.

 Behind, followed by the queen dressed in bright yellow.

 But such a little old man made everyone present stand up immediately.

The grandson also hurriedly helped the prince up. He didn't dare to be careless, but with a sly smile on his face, he said: "Grandfather, my father wants to drink!" as if he was complaining.

The emperor glanced at the prince dissatisfied.

 The prince smiled but said nothing.

The queen smiled and said: "You don't know whether the prince can drink? Grandson, you don't know? Why should you bring up the matter of Wu Ying'er and make the emperor anxious? Why bother..."

 The prince acted as if he had not heard anything. He came up to the emperor and whispered a few words. The emperor didn't know what he said to him.

 Seeing the father and son, they felt very close.

The grandson bowed to the queen and smiled, but said nothing.

The Crown Princess's face turned pale with anger.

Of course the queen knew that this was just a joke. In her capacity, what she just said was very low-level.

 But she was going to say it. I have made it clear that I am dissatisfied with my grandson's closeness in front of the emperor, so I want to suppress you. What can you do to me? !

The emperor said to the prince: "Go back to your seat and sit down! The Royal Heavenly Supervisor said it is windy today. If you are in good spirits, just sit in the room. If not, just lie down in the next room, or go home and stay! You are not allowed to go outside. ”

"..." The prince didn't want to agree, "Father, there is a football match today. Qi Huan is going to play..." He wanted to go and watch, so he begged the emperor in a low voice.

 “You mean, let me cancel the game!?” The emperor said slowly.

 “Father…”

The emperor snorted and sat down in the main seat.

 Everyone knelt down to salute and congratulate the emperor on his eternal life.

 Get up after the ceremony and send congratulatory gifts.

 The gifts were placed on the table next to them, on the ground. The gift list was handed to the emperor, and he flipped through it casually.

 “I'm all serious about it!” I didn't take it seriously.

 The prince returned to his seat, and the grandson helped him sit down.

 The queen sat leisurely on her queen's seat.

 This queen has a somewhat moody temperament. It seems that he is not afraid of the emperor. She often does things that are unbecoming of a queen.

 But the strange thing is that as ruthless as the emperor is, he doesn't care about her much.

Wen Yu didn't come after all.

 Because there seems to be an unwritten rule: Girls who are engaged but not yet married cannot run around, as others will consider them rude.

 So Mrs. Qi didn't care whether Wen Yu went or not.

 Old Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Yuan, as well as Wen Huan and Wen Jiao, dressed up properly and boarded the car.

 Leaving Wen Wan and Wen Su behind, I am filled with envy.

 At the gate of the palace, there were female officials and guards, and they had to check. Each family can only bring in one servant at most.

 According to the instructions on the post, when we went to the designated place, as Yuan said, the Wen family couldn't get to the front.

 But wherever she can go, Old Mrs. Wen can take a look.

Looking at it carefully: This hall is so big and so high!

There are carved beams and painted pillars on the top, hanging colorful palace lanterns, tall doors and windows, thick pillars, and huge carpets. The bronze crane exhales fragrant mist...

Oh my God, it is indeed a royal family, so majestic! I don't know where to look, I'm so dizzy…

The people present were all women and girls, all of them were jeweled and did not speak loudly.

 When meeting someone you know well, only make eye contact...

So many people, yet so quiet!

 They are all my sons, let me stand here one day!

Old Mrs. Wen became excited, her pride was beyond words, and her eyes were wet... Wipe them quickly.

Wen Jiao is normally domineering, but here she behaves like a lamb, with dancing eyes, following her grandmother every step of the way.

Wen Huan, on the other hand, was very generous. When he saw an acquaintance, he quietly waved hello with a smile on his face.

Mr. Yuan also looked at ease, nodding lightly or whispering to the people around him in a well-mannered manner.

Yuanshi secretly observed her mother-in-law and looked down on her.

 The middle of the hall is paved with a monochromatic carpet. From time to time, a noble lady and a girl dressed up would walk by and go to the hall inside.

That aura shows that he is no ordinary person at first glance.

Occasionally, when someone walks by, someone will whisper: This is from the XX family...

 Old Mrs. Wen saluted with attention.

Wen Jiao suddenly called to the old lady: "Grandma! Mrs. Qi!" She didn't dare to speak loudly, so she excitedly leaned into the old lady's ear.

Old Mrs. Wen followed Wen Jiao's finger and saw that it was indeed Mrs. Qi! Today I was dressed in fine clothes, and without squinting my eyes, I entered the door unhurriedly and walked inside.

Yuanshi didn't hear what Wen Jiao said, but seeing her pointing so excitedly...

She also looked over and saw that she didn't recognize any of the people in the group. She suddenly understood: The Qi family?

 The first one is a woman who must be older but looks quite young. He has a smile on his face and is very easy-going! Maybe when you meet an acquaintance, you will smile more deeply at someone or somewhere.

 There was a person following her, with very fair skin and ordinary appearance. I don't wear much jewelry, but every piece is extraordinary.

 A little arrogant, but not obtrusive... maybe you're used to it!

This is probably Mrs. Qi...

Yuan pursed her lips, clearly looking picky and difficult to get along with, so why did she fall in love with Wen Yu?

If it's because of their appearance, the girls here are all like flowers, so who's missing?
