Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

Chapter 145 Ling Rong is pregnant

Huimin moved to the palace and found a few familiar concubines to liven up the atmosphere.

Xia Dongchun, An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang, Nian Shilan...

Shen Meizhuang also brought Hongjun with her and left him in a side hall to play with Hongyao, which made her feel at ease.

In private, Shen Meizhuang and Huimin talked about it with a hint of envy.

"Chengqian Palace is really a great place. Now the back hall of Chengqian Palace is even bigger than Jingren Palace."

Indeed, the current Chengqian Palace is much larger than before.

On the one hand, the palace is bigger. On the other hand, when she was in Chuxiu Palace, although she was the mistress, there were also many concubines living there. Now Huimin lives alone in Chengqian Palace, which is very spacious.

However, although Shen Meizhuang was envious, she herself had no intention of living in Chengqian Palace.

Her son Hongjun was in poor health and was much loved by the emperor, which made him particularly eye-catching.

With Shen Meizhuang's methods, Hongjun would probably die young just a few days after moving into Chengqian Palace.

So I feel that I cannot fully enjoy this blessing. Although I envy it, I am not jealous.

But Shen Meizhuang would not spoil Huimin's fun.

"The pear blossoms in Chengqian Palace are famous. The flowers bloom like snow, and the fragrance fills the palace."

"This pear blossom was planted by Emperor Shunzhi himself. Emperor Shunzhi was sincere to Dong E. Their relationship is really enviable."

"Min'er can live here, which shows that the emperor values ​​you very much."

Huimin just smiled and said, "Meizhuang's Qixiang Palace is also excellent."

Huimin replied with this and then changed the subject with a smile.

"Hongjun and Hongyao are alone in the side hall. Is Meizhuang relieved?"

Shen Meizhuang was quite carefree this time. "It's nothing. I feel relieved in your palace. Besides, there are palace servants watching us. It's not convenient for us sisters to have fun with them."

Huimin heard her say that and didn't say anything else.

"Okay, let's see if everyone has arrived. When the time is about right, we'll start."

Shen Meizhuang also laughed, "You should go and have a look soon. Don't stay with me for too long, or Chaopin will be unhappy again."

Huimin saw her teasing herself and smiled helplessly.

"That's just her personality. Mei Zhuang is more tolerant."

Shen Meizhuang nodded with a smile. She also knew that Huimin protected Xia Dongchun very closely. Besides, now that Xia Dongchun had been given the title of concubine, she naturally wouldn't say much.

"Then let's go."

When the two of them arrived at the banquet hand in hand, they saw young palace maids carrying dishes coming in one after another.

This is a big place to live and a big place for banquets.

This banquet was much bigger than Huimin’s birthday banquet when she first entered the palace.

At this time, most of the people at the table had arrived.

Huimin has a high position and is the master of Chengqian Palace, so naturally he sits in the upper seat.

Concubine Jing was ill, so even though she hadn't come yet, she had someone send a gift.

Concubine Duan lived in seclusion and did not come either. Yining was pregnant, and Concubine Qi was expecting her son's first child, so they also had no time to come.

So the one on the right is Zhen Huan and the one on the left is Shen Meizhuang.

The imperial decree to confer titles of consort to these two had been issued by Zhen Huan. Although the canonization ceremony had not yet been carried out, their ranks were the second highest among the concubines present.

Shen Meizhuang, who was Concubine Hui, had a son and was also ranked first on the left.

The others also took their seats in order of their status.

Huimin looked at the people at the table and felt emotional: the flowers are the same year after year, but the people are different year after year.

I vaguely remember that Chun Changzai's voice, appearance and smile were the most lively ones at the banquet. But now... she is so beautiful but has a tragic fate.

However, Huimin quickly got rid of this sudden emotion.

"I am moving to another palace today, and I would like to thank all the sisters for coming."

Huimin was all smiles and Xia Dongchun was very supportive.

He even picked up the wine, showing quite chivalrous spirit.

"What the virtuous concubine said is right. I will do it first."

What picture book was she looking at again? Huimin felt amused, but she also knew that she was just trying to show her support, so she picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp out of respect.

When Xia Dongchun showed the cup, Liu Jia actually cheered in cooperation.

"Open up to your sister."

Before others could react, Xin Changzai also picked up the wine glass.

"Chaopin is a straightforward person."

The enthronement ceremony hasn't even taken place yet, but she's already been called to the imperial court as a concubine. This shows that Concubine Xin really likes Xia Dongchun's behavior.

Led by Xia Dongchun, the concubines raised their glasses one after another, and several of them drank them all in one gulp.

Nian Shilan even drank several cups, showing great respect.

This direction is also different from ordinary banquets.

As soon as Xia Dongchun drank, he became jealous.

Toasting left and right, first to Shen Meizhuang, saying Huipin has a good son, who has a good relationship with Hongyao...

Well, he has a good relationship with Huimin because he has a good son.

Shen Meizhuang knew that Xia Dongchun was not very smart, but she didn't care.

"Thank you for the compliment, sister. Hongjun is attached to his brother Hongyao."

Then I toast to Cao Qinmo. Wen Yi is so cute. I don’t know how Sister Cao raised such a good daughter…

Whenever she called someone "sister", it sounded awkward. Cao Qinmo was Concubine Xiang now, so it was right for her to call her "sister".

But this just sounds awkward.

But Cao Qinmo didn't bother with her. She was very clear about her position as the first military advisor under Concubine Xian. So whatever Xia Dongchun said was fine.

After Xia Dongchun had strangely "praised" the two concubines, he was about to speak again when Huimin coughed twice.

Xia Dongchun stopped talking immediately, but after a moment she looked at An Lingrong resolutely.

She laughed and raised a glass of wine heroically.

"A toast to Concubine An. Congratulations. You have been promoted to Concubine."

An Lingrong lowered her head and raised her glass of wine as well.

But before An Lingrong could drink it, she started to retch.

This surprised all the concubines, especially Xia Dongchun, whose eyes almost popped out.

"What's wrong with you? You haven't drunk yet."

"You have such a low alcohol tolerance that you get drunk just by smelling it?"

An Lingrong waved her hands, speechless.

Huimin rushed to her side and said, "Is it serious? Ruyi, please ask Doctor Wang to come."

Seeing Huimin was about to invite the imperial physician, An Lingrong waved her hand and said, "Today is a good day for Sister to move to the palace, because if I invite the imperial physician, then..."

Huimin understood what she meant and immediately interrupted her.

"Okay, we don't care about these empty things. Your health is more important."

After saying that, Huimin glanced at Ruyi.

"Why don't you go quickly?"

Ruyi received the order and immediately went to invite Doctor Wang.

Xia Dongchun saw that the banquet had quieted down and didn't want to leave the place so cold.

Then he called out, "Everyone, continue."

He also took the lead in drinking, and saw Xia Dongchun signaling him to take An Lingrong away first, as she was here.

Huimin did not stay any longer and took An Lingrong back to her own residence.

Wang Yu arrived quickly. Not long after the two of them sat down, he arrived with his men and carrying a medicine box.

"Meet Xian..."

Huimin quickly interrupted him.

"Okay, let's take your pulse first."

Wang Yu was halfway through his salute when it got stuck in mid-air and he pulled it back awkwardly.

He prepared his things and carefully examined An Lingrong's pulse.

Huimin looked at her worriedly, and An Lingrong did not forget to comfort Huimin.

"Don't worry, sister. Lingrong is fine."

Before An Lingrong finished speaking, Doctor Wang spoke first:

"Congratulations, young lady, congratulations, your Majesty, this is a pregnancy pulse."

An Lingrong and Huimin looked at each other for a moment before they reacted.

Huimin immediately said:

"Pregnant pulse? Good, there will be a big reward."

"Today is a double celebration."
