Chapter 56 Lively(2/2)
I don't know what Concubine An said again, but the emperor in front laughed loudly.
Good thing! This is really a good thing!
But this is not a good thing for her. When will she establish a prince?
"When will the palace attendant leave?" the imperial concubine asked in a low voice.
"It's set at twenty-three." The maid beside him replied in a low voice.
"I have to see him before I leave," the imperial concubine said in a low voice.
The maid responded yes.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ping is here."
Someone said over there, accompanied by a commotion.
The imperial concubine hurriedly looked over and saw the young prince wearing a brocade robe and a golden crown striding towards him. People around him saluted him one after another.
"After the New Year, things have changed again." The imperial concubine smiled, looking at her son's uncontrollable joy.
Under the colorful lamplight, the young prince saluted the emperor, and the emperor shouted with a smile. Concubine An next to him avoided it, and the father and son stood together and talked.
Still, this scene is soothing to watch.
The imperial concubine sat down with a smile.
Compared with the excitement at the palace gate, the palace seems a bit deserted.
A slight cough came from the Queen's palace.
"Your Majesty, you still need to pay attention to your body."
Looking at the queen who was fed a few mouthfuls of soup and tea by the palace maid, Prince Jin'an said.
The queen smiled.
"Why don't you also ask for some snacks for me from Mrs. Cheng?" she said with a smile.
Prince Jin'an smiled.
"If the queen can make a joke, the child will feel relieved," he said.
The queen smiled and was supported by the palace maid while leaning back.
"Are you really planning to go out?" she asked.
Prince Jin'an nodded.
"My child is here to say goodbye to my mother. After the first lunar month, my child will leave," he said.
The Queen looked at him for a moment.
"Why did you think so?" she asked, "Who thought so?"
"For the sake of the empress and Prince Qing." Prince Jin'an said.
The queen laughed, so much that she coughed again.
"I'll go to the Queen Mother's Palace later. She loves to hear your words," she said.
Prince Jin'an smiled and answered yes.
"But there is something you can only say to your mother-in-law," he said.
The queen hummed and was fed tea by the palace maid.
"Before the lunar eclipse, after the solar eclipse, there is Taibai Jingtian." King Jin'an said.
Taibai Jingtian!
When these words reached her ears, the queen looked up at Prince Jin'an in astonishment. At the same time, her throat tightened and she couldn't help but cough.
The maid next to her was startled.
"Come on, come on, come and get your concubine's medicine." She shouted immediately.
The maid standing outside the door suddenly left in panic.
The palace maid then lowered her head and took a few steps away.
The queen's coughing gradually stopped.
"Wei Lang, do you know what you are talking about?" she said in a deep voice.
Prince Jin'an nodded.
"I don't dare to deceive the heavens or speak nonsense about the celestial phenomena," he said.
The queen's expression changed.
"Then how come no one knows about this?" she asked.
"Not many people saw it." Prince Jin'an said, "The time was short, and the people who saw it were not very sure."
The queen sat up straight.
"Is that Mrs. Cheng?" she asked.
"No, Si Tiantai." Prince Jin'an shook his head and said without any doubt, "It's Si Tiantai."
He repeated both sides. The queen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
"Okay, I know this, so you can go with peace of mind," the queen said.
The prince of Jin'an County kowtowed and responded.
"Thank you, Madam, for taking the trouble." He stood up and then stopped and whispered.
There was the sound of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by the voice of a palace maid.
"The medicine is here, the medicine is here."
Prince Jin'an bowed his head and left.
The queen was helped up by the maid in front of her, and while looking at the people pouring in outside the door, she smiled vaguely.
"Are you bothering?" she said slowly to herself, "It's not for others, it's for myself. You're welcome."
At the second watch of the day, the Cheng family's banquet broke up, and everyone in the family came to the yard to enjoy the lanterns.
Although there are two lantern mountains in the yard, everyone can't help but yearn for the outside.
The concierge's boy took advantage of it, and by guarding the door, he could steal a chance to see the excitement on the street outside.
"The lantern viewing lasts for three or four days. There are a lot of people these days. When there are fewer people on the last day, my father will probably let us watch it." Cheng Siniang comforted Cheng Qiniang and said.
Cheng Qiniang felt a little better after hearing this and turned to look into the hall.
"I'll go talk to father," she said, turning around to go, but Cheng Siniang held her back.
"Father, mother and...sister are talking," she said.
Cheng Qiniang was a little unhappy when she talked about this, and said something to drive them all out.
But at this moment, Banqin and the maidservant suddenly changed their expressions when they heard Master Cheng's words in the hall.
"Master, what did you say?" They looked at Mr. Cheng Er in shock and anger.
"While we're talking, it's your two servants' turn to interrupt!" Mr. Cheng Er raised his eyebrows and shouted.
The maid also raised her eyebrows and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the sitting Cheng Jiaoniang with her hand.
She looked at Mr. Cheng Er and smiled slightly, her smile bright under the lights reflected inside and outside.
"Father is right."
