Chapter 108 New Feast

The new emperor ascended the throne and appointed the crown princess Wu, who was the queen of the central palace at the ceremony of worshiping heaven.

The next day, on the clear stream pond in the Imperial Garden, there were lotus leaves and fields, and the blue waves were everywhere. The Empress of the Central Palace held a phoenix banquet here to invite noble women and women.

For several months, there have been frequent storms in Beijing. All the governments have closed their doors and closed their doors, and they are cautious in their actions and speaking. The noble women and women in the back house have not held a banquet for a long time.

Now that the new emperor ascended the throne and the new queen entered the central palace, it is also considered a great peace in the world. Therefore, at the palace banquet today, all the women were full of joy and laughter.

"After a few months of separation, Mrs. Pingyang Hou lost weight!"

The wife of Dingguo Duke held Gu Xiyan's hand affectionately and asked with concern, "I heard that Mrs. Hou was traveling from Jianghuai to Yishan with the army. During the long journey, she was sleeping in the open air. She must have suffered a lot of crimes!"

The Duke of Dingguo looked at Gu Xiyan's slightly raised belly and sighed, "I didn't hear that there was a child in Pingyang Hou's Mansion last time. Now when I see, the children in the lady's belly are so old - how many months have they been?"

"It's almost four months."

Gu Xiyan smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't know I was pregnant before... I didn't mean to hide it from my wife."

The wife of the Duke of Dingguo smiled and said, "This is a happy event. I know that I am naturally happy for you two. How could I be blamed!"

While they were saying this, they walked to the octagonal pavilion at the end of the corridor on the lake. Dozens of noble ladies sat in the pavilion. Gu Xiyan and the Duke of Dingguo saw the greeting one by one, and turned around and saw Princess Huiru slowly walking over with her maid's hand.

Princess Huiru has been pregnant for more than six months, and her pregnant belly is very obvious. She is not plump at all. Now she has lost weight and she has really become skinny.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly met him, "The princess is still pregnant, how could she be so thin?"

Princess Huiru smiled bitterly and said nothing.

"What a devastating star. When she married Rouran, I felt something was wrong. How could the Prince of Huainan ask for a marriage for no reason?

She must have fascinated the prince!”

"I'm a dignified Princess Rouran. Have you never seen her martial arts skills?

If I ask me, maybe her marriage is fake, and the spy is real!”

"I heard that the Prince of Huainan has been taking heavy troops outside and has not returned yet. Do you think it is... the couple should work together inside and outside?"

In the octagonal pavilion, there were many discussions, and several noble ladies whispered in a sarcastic manner.

As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely help.

Now there are many rumors in the court, all pointing to the fact that the King of Huainan has ambitions. In the past, those who were dissatisfied with the Huainan Palace took the opportunity to turn against each other. This is because the villain began to push him before the wall fell.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these wives with broken mouths didn't speak loudly, but they just came into the ears of the three of them.

Gu Xiyan was full of anger when he heard this, and immediately turned around and pointed at one of the women and said, "Madam Lu is careful! If I remember correctly, on the battlefield, the Prince of Huainan rescued Lord Lu from the ambush of the enemy?"

Such a life-saving grace has not been repaid yet, but Mrs. Lu said this today, which is really worse than a jealous wolf!”

"you!"

The woman's face turned blue and white. She wanted to refute it, but in the end she was unreasonable and had to keep silent.

Princess Huiru held her pregnant belly with one hand and pulled Gu Xiyan with the other, "This Lu family and Wu family have always had a good relationship. Wu's daughter is now the queen of the central palace. Why do you have to let me out such anger?

I offended someone for nothing.”

"The Wu family is a villain who is not allowed to go to the table. Now he has gained the title of a father-in-law. After only a few days, he has done everything he wants to do in Shengjing City and everyone shouts to beat him! Such a villain who is like a fence-skinned man will offend him!"

Gu Xiyan patted Princess Huiru's hand, "In the past, the princess has protected me a lot, but now how can I watch the princess be humiliated and the Huainan Prince's Mansion be humiliated?"

Princess Huiru's expression moved slightly when she heard this.

At the beginning of the banquet, all the noble women came forward one by one to salute the new queen and then came to the table one by one.

Gu Xiyan held Indigo Yu's hand and walked down the steps, looking at Princess Huiru, quite worried.

Just now, the two of them greeted the phoenix throne. Queen Wu said a lot of sarcastic words, probably saying that the Prince of Huainan colluded with Rouran and had the intention to rebel.

It is inevitable that the princess will think too much.

"The Wu family and the Huainan Prince's Mansion had some holidays in the fields of the village in their previous life. Now they are just taking advantage of the prince's absence in the capital and showing off their verbal pleasure! Princess, don't think too much."

Gu Xiyan comforted in a low voice.

Princess Huiru's face was not very good, so she forced a smile, "I'm fine."

Mrs. Gu is still waiting for you to come over and talk, go quickly!"

Today's New Hou Banquet, the female family of Gu's family was also invited.

Gu Xiyan's sister-in-law Du has been pregnant for nine months. She is about to give birth and is inevitably unable to move. In addition, her grandmother Gu Jiang has not been in good health recently, so she is also recuperating at home. Only her mother Gu Lin comes to attend the New Harem Banquet.

Gu Xiyan nodded and walked towards the banquet table where Gu Lin sat down with lotus steps.

"You kid, you are still leaving so anxiously with your body!"

Gu Lin hurriedly stood up to support her daughter, and scolded her mouth, "You walked down with such a high staircase just now! I saw it for my mother, I was really worried about my grandson!"

"Mother!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "It's only been a few months, so I don't need to be so careful."

Gu's mother angrily glanced at her daughter and said, "Is that the Princess of Huainan just now?

Recently, there have been rumors about the Prince of Huainan in Beijing. The Marquis of Pingyang and the Prince of Huainan have always been in good terms. You should be careful too!"

Gu Xi said, "Don't worry, Mother, the Prince of Huainan is loyal and is definitely not a person who is willing to plot against rebellion."

"It's good if you think about it."

Gu Lin took a tangerine, peeled it himself, and handed it to Gu Xiyan, sighing, "Although the Qing Dynasty was the Qing Dynasty, the Prince of Huainan married such an alien princess as a princess, and he was really guilty of possessing a treasure! This time, I am afraid it will be difficult to dispel the emperor's suspicion."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyan slowly put a petal of tangerine into his mouth and remained silent.

Seeing this, Gu's mother was unwilling to ask Gu Xiyan to be too busy for other people's affairs, so she said, "Herdes are still busy lately?"

If you have time, you couple will go home together for a meal.

Since the Marquis died in Yishan, our mansion has not yet welcomed the Marquis!”

Last review, Gu Xiyan recovered his memory and returned to his parents' home alone, only lied to Gu's mansion that Xiao Rang was responsible for the heavy responsibility of garrison in the capital and was so busy that he couldn't get rid of it.

Grandmother Gu Jiang's asthma was becoming more and more serious. At the last time Zhangtai meeting, his brother Gu Zhaowen returned home and was concerned about his grandmother's body. He did not tell the couple in detail with the Gu family. He only vaguely said that the two had conflicts and thought of separation.

Therefore, when I went back to Gu’s mansion last time, Gu Lin and Gu Jiang pulled Gu Xiyan to ask about Heli in detail. Gu Xiyan pondered for a long time and finally said, “It was just a quarrel and a moment of impulse, and then he mentioned Heli without any choice.”

This statement coincided with what Xiao Rang said before. After hearing this, Gu Lin and Gu Jiang asked Gu Xiyan a lot of things about accompanying the army half-believingly, and then put their worries back into their stomachs.

Gu Xiyan pursed her pink lips and nodded, "I will go home with the Marquis after these two days.

The Marquis said yesterday that he would come to visit his father, mother and grandmother."

"Of course, it is important to put official duties first, and it is not urgent to finish this period of time first."

Gu's mother smiled and said, "Although the Marquis didn't go home with you last time, I sent someone to send me a lot of supplements and other things, and also sent a few centenarian ginseng, saying that it was for your grandmother to take care of her body."

"tonic?"

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

Mother Gu looked at her daughter suspiciously, "Don't you even know?"

After thinking a little, Gu Xiyan reacted. It turned out that she was hiding from Xiao Rang two days ago, and Xiao Rang carried the supplements she gave to Gu's mansion.

A warm current passed by my heart, and Gu Xiyan hurriedly said, "I actually forgot about this. I remembered it just as my mother said it."

Gu's mother put the hair on her temples behind her ears with love and sighed, "Although your husband is a wise and powerful figure, he is made of the body of an ordinary body. Without the father and mother's palace by his side, he has to make his own decisions on everything and stabilize the overall situation. It is not easy."

After hearing this, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but remember the sad scene when she was buried with Princess Yuanning that day, and couldn't help but feel sad, "I will understand the Marquis more."

"At present, refugees in Da'an, Beijing have a residence. In three days, free medical treatment in Beijing should be stopped."

Gu's mother looked at her daughter and smiled, "I went to a free clinic in front of our house. I was thinking of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds and accumulating some blessings for your sister-in-law's twins and the children in your womb. I didn't expect that your child, who was pregnant, had to go to the free clinic to help, and he had persisted for so long."

Gu Xiyan took Gu’s mother’s arm and said sweetly, “Mother’s words are bad. Her mother is kind and righteous. She is so hardworking. Xier is the daughter taught by her mother, so she naturally dare not fall behind.”

Gu’s mother smiled and shook her head, “All of them are mothers, and they are still so naughty.”

——

These days, Gu Xiyan went to Zhangmuxiang for free medical treatment every day. After dinner, he tilted his mouth on the brocade bed and studied medical books with a lamp, and he couldn't move.

Xiao Rang picked up the bead curtain and came out of the bathroom with his underwear. Seeing that the light was still on outside, he frowned and lifted the curtain and came out of the inner room.

A bright lamp was lit on the small square table, and the candlelight illuminated the beauty's cloudy hair and beauty under the lamplight through the lampshade painted with the five blessing patterns.

Gu Xiyan leaned beside the table, holding a volume of medical books in his hand, supporting his cheek with one hand, and was concentrating on the words on the book.

Her dress was extremely homely - she was wearing a goose-yellow double-breasted shirt, revealing the fish playing lotus leaves inside.

Seeing that Gu Xiyan was watching seriously and had no intention of sleeping, Xiao Rang couldn't help but sigh.

The man stepped forward, hugged the beauty and reached out to take away a volume of medical skills from Gu Xiyan's hand. "My wife studied at night and worked so hard, do she want to get the female top scorer?"

Gu Xiyan was suddenly taken into his arms, and reached out to grab the man's underwear's collar, flattened his mouth and said, "What is the top scorer not the top scorer?"

I haven't finished reading this page yet, the marquis goes to bed first..."

As she said that, she reached out to get the medical book, but the man caught her and held her tightly.

Xiao Rang curled his thin lips and smiled, lowered his head and kissed her, " Staying up late hurts your body, and reading at night hurts your eyes.
