Chapter 52 Disfigured Palace Lady VS Cold-blooded Emperor 52
“Thank you, Imperial Concubine!”
Everyone sat down, their eyes falling on her belly intentionally or unintentionally, with unconcealable jealousy in their eyes .
Especially Wu Yingsheng (former Concubine De) kept staring at her belly with a cold look in her eyes that made people panic.
Yu Yao frowned, not wanting to tolerate her, and said coldly to Wu, "Wu promised, why are you staring at my belly like this?"
Wu Yao promised to have publicly harmed Concubine Yao's fetus, and now Concubine Yao personally called her out. Everyone's eyes inevitably fell on Wu Yao's face.
Wu promised to look stiff for a moment, then returned to normal, smiling awkwardly: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I just think your belly is a bit big, so I couldn't help but take a second look. "
She has given birth to the eldest prince, so she naturally knows what an ordinary five-month pregnant woman looks like.
When she was five months old, her belly was not as big as that of Concubine Yao.
Wu agreed and the concubines present also reacted.
In an instant, all eyes fell on Yu Yao's belly.
No concubine in the harem has been pregnant for many years, and they themselves have never been pregnant. They have no idea how big the belly of a five-month-old pregnant woman should be.
Wu Yao promised to remind him, and he also felt that Yu Yao’s belly was a bit big.
It’s only so big at five months, so won’t it be bigger when it’s time to give birth?
Feeling the attention of everyone, Yu Yao covered her belly with clothes without leaving a trace. However, her belly was too big and it was futile to cover her belly, so she simply stopped covering it.
"The sizes of pregnant women's bellies are different. If the fetus is well nourished, the belly will naturally look bigger."
Yu Yao glanced at Wu Yaosheng and said coldly.
Wu promised to smile instead, with a meaningful smile, "What the empress said is that I am too talkative."
She did not suspect that Yu Yao was a twin, but thought that Yu Yao was a twin. Whose way is it?
Someone deliberately raised Yu Yao’s fetus to make it difficult for her to give birth, so that the mother would be removed and the child would remain.
Although Wu promised to think so, he didn't mean to remind him at all. Instead, he sat back with a smile.
When Yu Yao saw Wu Yaosheng's smiling face, she didn't understand what the other party was thinking.
But I didn’t care.
She was very sure that she was not cheating on anyone.
Not to mention that she understands pharmacology, she has a system to remind her from time to time, so she can't follow anyone's advice.
Afterwards, we went to see the scenery.
The Imperial Garden is full of beautiful flowers.
To the south is Taiye Pool. There is an island in the pool and Taiye Pavilion is built on the island. There are a large number of palaces, corridors and waterside pavilions on the bank of the pool, which is very magnificent.
Lotus flowers bloom on the water, reeds grow thickly, and birds play.
With the hazy night, it looks vast, like a magnificent and charming fantasy.
Yu Yao didn't need to go to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects, and she didn't like to go out even more when she was pregnant. She stayed in Yuexian Palace to raise her fetus all day long.
At this moment, it was rare for me to take another look.
Her position is also well arranged. There is no risk of falling into the water, and she can have a panoramic view of the entire Imperial Garden and Taiye Pond.
I don’t know if the queen is really kind, or if she wants to take care of a pregnant woman so that she can gain a reputation as a virtuous person.
In short, it is true that Yu Yao has benefited.
There are seasonal fruits and exquisite moon cakes on the table.
The mooncake is small and made into the shapes of various flowers, which is quite beautiful.
She gave it a try and found it tasted average, so she didn’t eat it.
“The Emperor has arrived!”
The eunuch’s sharp voice made everyone stand up immediately to greet the Emperor.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
"The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Both the emperor and the empress were dressed in bright yellow court clothes and walked in together, full of majesty. .
Walking into the banquet room, Ye Beichen saw Yu Yao at first sight. Seeing her saluting with a big belly, Ye Beichen frowned.
But he didn’t say anything, but said calmly: “Get back on your feet!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The queen who was following Ye Beichen smiled brightly.
Only at this moment did she feel that she was the emperor's wife, and only she was worthy of standing beside the emperor and accepting everyone's worship.
"Concubine Yao is heavy, so sitting must be uncomfortable. Ruonan, go get a pillow to protect your waist."
The queen looked at Ruonan and gave a very considerate order.
"Yes, empress!"
Ruonan responded with a smile. "Thank you, Queen, for your consideration!"
Yu Yao knew that the Queen wanted to be a good person in front of Ye Beichen, so she said nothing and just stood up to thank her.
The queen quickly waved her hand, "Sister Yao, don't be like this, sit down quickly."
Yu Yao was disgusted by Queen Yi Yao's sister, but her face was humble and her eyes were full of gratitude.
"The Queen is so kind and loving, I am deeply grateful."
Queen Xu Shi was punished by Ye Beichen a few times, and she learned her lesson well.
The emperor likes Yu Yao, okay, then I will treat her well.
It depends on whether this bitch can afford it.
That is the so-called stick killing.
Sure enough, Ye Beichen's complexion improved a lot.
But he didn't praise the queen either. He still wrote down the things the queen did behind her back in a small notebook.
Seeing that Ye Beichen's face had improved a lot, the queen felt more and more that what she had done was right.
Ye Beichen sat on the dragon chair, the queen sat next to him, and the emperor and empress sat side by side.
The Queen Mother did not come.
The Queen Mother’s leg injury hasn’t healed yet, so naturally she can’t come.
It took a few months to break the muscles and bones for a hundred days, but at such an old age, the Queen Mother may have to recuperate for a while.
"Tonight is a family banquet. I drink wine and admire the moon with all my beloved concubines. May God bless my great cause to prosper and last for thousands of years."
Ye Beichen raised his glass, and everyone also They all picked up their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
With the rituals and music, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet has just begun.
The dishes on the table are very rich, including steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tail, smoked chicken white belly, steamed eight-treasure pig, duck stuffed with glutinous rice, and pot-roasted sea cucumber.
They are all excellent dishes, and they are all very hot.
Unfortunately, the steamed bear paw was drugged.
If pregnant women eat it.
Haha, I'm afraid it will kill two people.
Queen, Queen, you are quite ruthless.
You actually want my life.
Yu Yao secretly glanced at the queen who smiled elegantly and dignifiedly, with hatred flashing in her eyes.
Actually, she misunderstood the queen. The secret medicine was given to the queen by Princess Duan.
The queen only thought that the mother-loving face made the son strong and the mother weak.
She does want Yu Yao's life, but she also wants the child in her belly.
But the queen didn’t know that the secret medicine was not about mother-looking beauty at all. Instead, the pregnant woman is given a dead body and two fatal poisons, and the mother and child return home.
Yu Yao retracted her gaze from the queen, and then looked at Concubine Mei aside.
The dishes were the same as mine, but they didn't look very hot and were obviously much colder than what was on my table.
"My food is hotter, please eat mine."
She brought several plates of hot food in front of her to her.
Of course, there is also the plate of steamed bear paws with secret medicine.
Concubine Mei recently took advantage of the convenience of managing flowers and plants, secretly burying medicines that make pregnant women weak in the soil of the flowers and plants sent to her palace.
Mei Fei wanted the child in her belly and wanted her to be weak and die in childbirth, so no wonder Yu Yao fought back.
Mei Fei didn't know that there was something wrong with the steamed bear paws, which was a good dish that she couldn't usually eat.
Even as a concubine, things like bear paws are not something you can just eat if you want.
It was still fresh and hot. How could she refuse? She smiled and said: "Thank you, sister, imperial concubine!"
"Eat it, you're welcome."
"Of course my sister won't You’re welcome, my sister is hungry right now, so she must have finished eating.”
The two of them deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke, so the people next to them didn't hear them.
But Ye Beichen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, noticed it.
Also noticed was the Queen.
When the queen saw the plate of steamed bear paws filled with secret medicine was brought to Concubine Mei's table, she felt bad all over and her hands tightened unconsciously.
Even became nervous.
