Chapter 172 Drinking
"It seems that, Concubine De, you haven't learned how to speak since you came back from the hell gate. The only reason you can come back is because the Lord of Hell looks down on your straight tongue."
Concubine Liu Shu walked in with a full belly and sat down directly.
The Queen Mother finally had a smile on her face when she saw Concubine Liu Shu coming.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Sister, it is said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later." Concubine Shen De said with a smile.
"Hey, why, a sparrow can't climb a branch and turn into a phoenix. What are you still dreaming about?" Liu Shufei mocked unceremoniously.
Unsurprisingly, the emperor must already have a candidate, otherwise the emperor would not let up and discuss the candidate for the throne with the ministers.
As for who it was, she had an idea, but it couldn't be Concubine Shen Definitely.
"Sister, the world has not yet been decided. It is better not to make a conclusion too early about what is right and what is wrong." Concubine Shen De choked back.
Jiang Yuming burst out laughing. Concubine Shen De's words reminded her of a popular spoof saying in her previous life: The world is still uncertain, and you and I are both cows and horses.
"Why, sister Xiuyi thinks what I said is wrong?" Concubine Shen De turned her finger on Jiang Yuming.
"How could it be? I just thought of a joke." Jiang Yuming covered her lips with a handkerchief and laughed.
However, Concubine Shen thought that the joke in Jiang Yuming's mouth was mocking her: "My sister's promotion to the throne is indeed extraordinary. I remember that my sister's canonization ceremony was probably in early March. It's better not to be too happy now."
"Why, the emperor's golden words, is it possible that if you say it out, you can get it back?" Concubine Liu Shu leaned on the chair and raised her head and glanced at Concubine Shen De.
It's just that she's pregnant, and she's acting like she doesn't have a child yet.
Concubine Shen De was speechless for a moment. She couldn't say that what the emperor said could be ignored. But looking at the emperor's attitude towards Jin Xiuyi, it was impossible even if she thought about it, so she just spoke quickly.
The Queen Mother sat on it for a while, then waved her hand: "Let's leave. Concubine Shu and Jin Xiuyi will stay here. The Ai family has something to say to you."
Everyone stood up and left.
"Sister Shu Fei's belly looks like it's seven months old." Jiang Yuming looked at Liu Shu Fei's bulging belly with curiosity.
There is a little life pregnant inside.
Concubine Liu Shu changed her posture and leaned on the chair: "Envy? What's there to envy? According to your favor, you can get pregnant next year at the latest."
Jiang Yuming coughed slightly, unwilling to take up the topic.
"You are so thin-skinned? There is no one around here." Liu Shufei stared at Jiang Yuming, whose face was slightly red, as if she had discovered a new world.
"Okay, Ying'er, don't make fun of Yu Ming anymore, you think everyone is as shameless as you."
The Queen Mother stood up happily, and Jiang Yuming walked over to help the Queen Mother.
"Let's go and take a look at the back. The snow has melted. There is something good for you to see in the Ai family." The queen mother smiled and led the people towards the small courtyard at the back.
Stepping through the round arch, a peach blossom tree two people tall was covered with peach blossoms.
Jiang Yuming raised her hand and touched the flower on her head in surprise.
It's a real flower.
"Does it look good? The first few flowers bloomed. Today there are more blooms, so I asked you to come over and take a look."
The Queen Mother looked at the peach tree that had bloomed early, and with a smile, she pulled the two of them to sit down under the stone table under the tree.
