Chapter 29 Attending the Banquet
Cui Chu asked for Cui Xiu’s reward. The emperor’s face showed a smile. From the emperor’s perspective, it was not considered a reward. Cui Zhenghai and Cui Chu had made such great achievements this time. If he just rewarded him casually, then the other generals would be disappointed.
Even if Cui Zhenghai and Cui Chu didn't say anything, they would still care in their hearts, so the emperor did not regard this as a reward.
"I know that General Cui and General Cui miss their sister very much."
"Concubine Jia has rarely been home since she entered the palace. It is better to let Concubine Jia return to the general's residence after a while. A few days ago.”
"Let you and your family be intimate and affectionate."
As soon as the emperor said these words, Cui Chu couldn't control the excited expression on his face. He looked at the emperor and was about to ask whether it was true or not, but Cui Zhenghai was If it is pulled down, how can it be done in this hall?
"I am waiting to thank you for your kindness." Cui Zhenghai took Cui Chu and saluted in the direction of the emperor to thank him. Such a favor was not available in other families.
A daughter who marries into the palace will have to stay in the palace almost all her life. If she wants to see her family, only her family will go to the palace to meet her. It is rare for the empress to go home.
However, there are also concubines who go home to visit their relatives, but most of those families are not in the capital. They live in the capital and generally do not need to visit their relatives.
"Okay, you two beloved ministers, let's make peace." The emperor's eyes were gentle, and then he continued: "As for the rewards, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to make a list, and then send it to General Cui's house."
< br>"As for the rest, we will discuss it later in the morning."
The emperor put his words here, what he means is that he will not casually send away meritorious ministers, and reward them based on their merits. Inevitably, as soon as these words came out, everyone else present had different expressions on their faces and their own evil intentions in their hearts.
After we finished talking about the business, the singers who danced and played music came up. Some were holding pipa, some were carrying huqin, some were tied to drums, and some were wearing neon phoenix gauze skirts, in various poses Beautiful and touching, as the music began to play, the atmosphere of the feast began to heat up.
The queen raised her wine glass and toasted to the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, I would like to propose a toast to you."
With a smile on his face, the emperor picked up the wine glass in front of him and said back to the queen, "Queen, is Concubine Jia's baby about to be born?"
The emperor remembered that she was in Cui Xiu's palace last night. He moves slowly and has a bulging belly, but the expression on his face is not lacking in agility. In addition, Cui Chu mentioned Cui Xiu just now, and the impressions in his mind overlap little by little.
“The imperial doctor who diagnosed Concubine Jia’s pulse said that it has been the past two days.” The queen responded to the emperor’s words. Although she didn’t like Cui Xiu very much, she always asked about things that should be asked. There were only a few pregnant people inside, and she still knew it.
The queen knew that she was in charge of the imperial family and had the heavy burden of managing the harem on her shoulders. Whether they were talented people or concubines, they were all the emperor's children, so they were all dragon heirs. .
Of course she wanted to carefully inquire about the situation in each palace to ensure that the dragon heir could be born smoothly. If the Queen Mother and the Emperor intervened in the process, she would not be ignorant of everything.
If she doesn't know anything about it, even if the emperor doesn't say that she doesn't care about things in the harem, the queen mother will reprimand her appropriately.
When the emperor heard the queen's answer, he nodded and said: "Since she has not given birth yet, let someone bring Concubine Jia over."
"Let her and her father Brother, let’s meet.”
“Maybe she hasn’t seen her family for a long time, and she must be missing her a lot.”
The emperor said, and took a sip of wine, feeling conscious of himself. This decision was particularly thoughtful and right. He was truly a considerate and good emperor.
As soon as the emperor said these words, the queen sitting next to her looked a little hesitant. Although she had not given birth yet, the imperial doctor had instructed her not to move back and forth in the next few days before she was due to give birth to avoid fetal gas.
But the emperor had already spoken, and she didn’t know what to say to offend the emperor’s good intentions, so she ordered: “Cui Zhu, go to Chuxiu Palace.” “Please invite Concubine Jia to pray for good luck. "
After Cuizhu received the order from the Queen, he went to Chuxiu Palace without any delay. At this time, Chuxiu Palace was extremely lively. It is no less impressive than the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
Howling sounds could be heard from time to time in Ning Cairen's bedroom. Cui Xiu, who was lying in her bedroom, could hear the sound from a distance. She subconsciously raised her hand and rubbed her temples.
"Empress, this Ningcai man screamed so hard, will he still have the strength to have a baby later?" Chunfeng served Cui Xiu at the side and said while serving.
Cui Xiu shook his head gently and replied to the spring breeze: "Giving a baby is a long and time-consuming battle."
"She shouted more and more in front of me. Hey, I don’t have enough strength in the back." Cui Xiu said, putting down the hand that was rubbing his temples, looked at Chunfeng and asked.
"Has Dr. Zhang gone?" Although Cui Xiu doesn't like Ning Cairen, she even hates Ning Cairen, and she doesn't like Ning Cairen's children, but now that Ning Cairen is in her palace, this Life or death has nothing to do with her.
She hoped that Ning Cairen would be dead, so that there would not be so many messy things.
But if Ning Cairen died in her palace, she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly even with eight hundred mouths. In addition, the emperor didn't trust her, so she didn't want to kill Ning Cairen in such a stupid way.
She doesn't like this kind of move that hurts the enemy a thousand times and damages herself eight hundred times.
"When I get back to the empress, Dr. Zhang is there."
"The people in Ningcai can't trust us, so they even sent Xia Zhi to go there and asked Dr. Zhang to come by name."
"If you ask me, the empress should leave her alone."
"We do good things with good intentions, but we treat them all like donkey liver and lungs."
"People don't believe us at all."
When Chunfeng thought of Ning Cairen's behavior, she became very angry. , this was all caused by Ning Cai’s people from beginning to end, but now it’s better, Ning Cai’s people have turned around and started to suspect them.
"It doesn't matter."
"We just do good things and don't ask about the future. Don't think so much about other things."
"It's a waste of time." Cui Xiu originally didn't think she wanted Ning Cairen to be grateful to her. She still knew what kind of person Ning Cairen was.
What she has to do now is to keep her child safe and not let Ning Cairen take advantage of the opportunity. Although Ning Cairen is giving birth now, it is inevitable that she will not find anyone else.
As long as Ning Cairen’s child is born, she can immediately send someone to take care of the child. The children born on the same day all look similar. If you don’t observe carefully, you can’t see it at all. The difference comes out.
Just when Cui Xiu was thinking about how to guard against Ning Cairen, Cuizhu arrived and conveyed the emperor and queen's wishes to Cui Xiu.
“Empress Jia Fei, by the decree of the Empress, please go to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests to attend the dinner.”
