This family banquet was held in a hurry, and there were only a few royal relatives who came from the city to the palace to attend the banquet. At best, it was just the brothers who established the government who came back.

In the evening, when the aroma of porridge floats in every house, the family banquet in the palace begins.

The Laba porridge in the palace is rich in ingredients, far more than eight kinds of beans and rice. Added together, there are sixteen kinds of ingredients, large and small.

Emperor Kangxi set the location of this family banquet at the Queen Mother's Ningshou Palace.

After all, those who come here are all their own children and grandchildren, and holding a banquet in the elderly home is also a celebration.

After the masters in each hall got the determined time, they all rushed there in advance.

Although the fifth princess already lived in Ningshou Palace, after learning that the fourth sister-in-law had already entered the palace, she hurried to Yonghe Palace.

The fifth elder brother called her: "Your fifth sister-in-law will be here in a moment. You wait for her to pick up the fourth sister-in-law together."

Both of them were raised by the Queen Mother. They grew up together, so they were naturally very close, and they talked much more casually.

The fifth elder brother knew that Wu Fujin had been waiting for him before. He had just received the news that she was on her way over. He knew that the two of them had a good relationship with the fourth sister-in-law, so he said this to the fifth princess.

The fifth princess smiled and said: "Fifth brother, you are wrong. Even if the fifth sister-in-law wants to come here, she will definitely turn around at Yonghe Palace to find the fourth sister-in-law. I can go directly to Yonghe Palace and meet him."

The fifth elder brother suddenly understood and smiled gently: "You are right, but I was wrong."

The fifth princess was afraid that she would be late and would not be able to chat with the fourth sister-in-law for a while, so she did not continue talking to him, waved her hands and left Ningshou Palace.

When she arrived at Yonghe Palace, Concubine De was planning to take the children to the Queen Mother's side.

Luo Jianing slowly stood up with the help of people around her.

It's not that she's being pretentious. It's just that the chair she's sitting on is very spacious and comfortable, and she's leaning back slightly. The fetus is now a little older, and if she doesn't pay more attention, she's afraid she might feel uncomfortable when she gets up.

After standing up with the support of Huiyi and Fulong, Luo Jianing couldn't help but sigh again, it is really not easy to get pregnant.

Even if you don't worry about other physical discomforts, the process of working hard to protect the fetus is still very tiring.

The seventh princess was next to her, walking around with her eyes wide open: "There is a baby in the belly of the fourth sister-in-law? The child of the fourth brother?"

She thought of the man who had a cold face all day long, and clicked her tongue: "I hope my good nephew is as cute as my fourth sister-in-law and I, and not like my fourth brother."

The fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen chuckled beside him: "Hey, are you praising yourself cute in a different way?"

The seventh princess looked back at him: "What's wrong? Do you have any objections?"

Yinzhen knew that this seventh sister was a bit difficult to deal with, so he quickly waved his hand to indicate that it was not a problem: "How could it be so? Seventh sister, you are the cutest. Even cuter than my unborn nephew!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

The seventh princess laughed a few times and realized something was wrong. She glared at Yinzhen again: "You're talking nonsense! You're laughing at me!" She waved her hand and greeted Yinzhen.

Yinzhen ran away in the palace: "Mother concubine! Mother concubine! Seventh sister beat me!"

The seventh princess chased him and shouted: "You should be beaten! How could you laugh at your sister like this?"

The two of them were very careful. Even though they were chasing each other like this, they knew it well and deliberately avoided Si Fujin's side, so as not to disturb their sister-in-law and the child in her belly.

The people in the room naturally discovered this.

But the fifth princess and fifth princess who had just entered the house didn't know it. When they saw it, they quickly reminded them in fear: "Be careful! Don't hit the fourth sister-in-law!"

The fifth princess and the fifth princess met at the gate of Yonghe Palace.

They both planned to go to the family banquet with Si Fujin, so naturally they looked at each other and smiled before leading each other into the house.

Unexpectedly, I saw such a scene as soon as I entered the house, and I was immediately frightened.

Concubine De greeted them both: "It doesn't matter. They know it well and won't cause trouble to Sifujin." Then she said, "We are about to leave, so why not come together."

At this time, the Seventh Princess and the Fourteenth Prince stopped playing around, and the group headed towards Ningshou Palace, chatting and laughing.

The Queen Mother was so happy when she saw all the children coming to eat Laba porridge that she called the children to talk to her. But before she could say much, the banquet started. Everyone went to sit down at the banquet one after another.

The fifth princess wants to sit next to the Queen Mother, and the fourteenth brother wants to go to the brothers.

Luo Jianing and the Seventh Princess were together at Concubine De's side.

Because Luo Jianing was pregnant, the emperor and the queen mother granted her permission to bring two more people into the house to serve her.

Luo Jianing saw that there was one person missing, so she went to the corridor outside to look for him.

Sure enough, Cui Ying was outside the palace.

But she refused to enter the house no matter what.

After she was slapped, the pain was not particularly painful. However, several palm prints were quite obvious.

At that time, it was to calm the eldest prince's anger and not punish him severely, so when Anfu struck, he applied a little more force in order to look more miserable.

But now that she is like this, if she goes inside, it will be unsightly and may disturb Fujin's meal.

Cui Ying wanted to be bold. It is rare to see such hesitation now.

Luo Jianing smiled and reassured: "You don't have to be so nervous. It's just a matter of going in for a meal. What are you afraid of?"

Cuiying whispered: "The eldest prince is also inside. If the slave goes in and is seen by him, there will inevitably be another dispute."

Fulong also hesitated after hearing this.

Luo Jianing thought of the previous conflict with the eldest prince, and smiled lightly: "That person, I didn't originally plan to have a good personal relationship with him. If you can get along with him in terms of face, it doesn't matter if you can't get along with him."

The eldest prince's biological mother is Concubine Hui.

And the eighth prince Yinsu grew up in front of Concubine Hui.

From now on, these people will all be Yinzhen's mortal enemies. There is not much difference between breaking up earlier and later.

The most important thing is the timing of "breaking up".

This time it was the eldest prince who made things difficult for her first, and it was a coincidence that Liang Jiugong's apprentice was present at the time.

Liang Jiugong is a person trusted by the emperor.

If he and his disciples can prove it, the emperor will definitely lean towards her side.

Luo Jianing thought about it, or else she should take advantage of this opportunity to simply have a tense situation with the eldest prince, so as to avoid future interactions.

Otherwise, the eldest prince and his gang would find other excuses to talk about things in the future. Instead, it would be better to take advantage of her being "at a disadvantage" this time.

If you think about it this way, it would be more appropriate for Cuiying to go in and serve you.

Seeing the usually bold little maid with her head lowered and wilted at this time, Luo Jianing couldn't help but smile: "You know you are afraid? It's good that you know. Be more thoughtful when doing things in the future."

Cuiying: "...Yes, I have realized my mistake. I will definitely be careful when serving you close to you in the future."

The implication is that this time she will not serve him closely.

"It's okay, just follow me in." Luo Jianing said: "Before, the emperor only heard that the eldest prince was embarrassing me. He didn't see it with his own eyes, so he didn't have much impression after all. When you passed by like this, you let the emperor know that I was being harassed.

How great the difficulty is, wouldn’t it be better?”

Cui Ying had already dragged Fujin down and was blamed by the eldest prince, and she felt guilty. Now that she heard that she would not cause trouble to Fujin but could help him if she slapped him in, she became happy again: "I will listen to Fujin in everything."

According to Fujin's instructions."

As he spoke, he straightened his hair to make the slap marks on his face look more obvious.

After Luo Jianing returned to the house and sat down, the Cuiying following behind her indeed attracted the attention of others.

Yi Fei was already here, and she laughed out loud after seeing Cui Ying: "Hey, what's going on? The maid next to Si Fujin was slapped... If you ask me, if the maid did something wrong, she should be punished. It's just that

Si Fujin beat someone in the palace while the Queen Mother and the Emperor were holding a family banquet, so this is not appropriate, right?"

She and Concubine De had never gotten along well.

He couldn't even get along with the children from Concubine De's side.

Previously, she had no choice but to take the initiative to express her goodwill to Sifujin several times.

It's just that after the limelight passed, she still couldn't stand Si Fujin, and she had no intention of giving in when it was time to beat him.

Luo Jianing glanced at Concubine Hui with a smile.

Concubine Hui, the head of the concubines, is naturally located close to the top.

It's just that although she is smiling now, her smile is not very natural and a bit stiff.

——The eldest prince who had a conflict with Luo Jianing was Concubine Hui’s son.

Si Fujin had such a quarrel with the eldest prince before, and as a concubine, she naturally knew about it.

Seeing that Concubine Hui was not going to speak, Luo Jianing said, "Thank you, Concubine Yi, for your concern. The slaves did something wrong and deserve to be punished. We just have to see whether what she did was true or false."

Yi Fei asked curiously: "Is there a true or false mistake in making a mistake?"

"Of course." Luo Jianing said: "For example, this maid like me. It seems that she did something wrong, but in fact she was right."

Concubine Yi asked: "Yes, why do you still need to be punished?"

"I'm also very curious as to why I was punished even though I was right." Luo Jianing came to her seat and slowly sat down: "Some people are stubborn and refuse to give up, so this is the only way."

Concubine Hui greeted everyone: "Today's porridge is good. I heard that it took two or three hours to cook in the imperial kitchen, and it melts in your mouth. Come on, come on, everyone, sit down quickly, and you can eat it later."

Yifei tasted something.

Eunuch Wang said something beside her, and Concubine Yi half covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes flicked between Si Fujin and Concubine Hui, and she finally swallowed the rest of her words.
