Chapter 384
"Today is Sister Yipin's birthday banquet. I'm afraid I can't stay long. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me, and I also beg Sister Yipin not to blame me."
Zhaopin's words caused an uproar.
Last year, Concubine De and Concubine Wan became pregnant, and this year there are also many happy events.
This Old Summer Palace is really a great place!
But... why isn't it my turn? !
Qingying was even more surprised.
Can Zhaopin also get pregnant?
Were all the things she gave to Noble Lady Ke fake?!
Otherwise, how could she get pregnant so easily after being contaminated with those things...
He is really a capable person.
Qingying turned to look at Hongli, and he also looked surprised.
Where is the slightest trace of the joy that Concubine Yi had just felt about being pregnant?
"Your Majesty, three of my sisters are pregnant in succession. This is great joy."
Qingying's words brought Hongli back to his senses.
"It is indeed a great joy. Li Yu, bring three pieces of brocade and give them to Concubine Chun, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Zhao!"
Seeing the decree to make her a princess, she turned into Yunjin in an instant.
Qingying looked at her coldly, and found that Concubine Yi had not changed at all.
However, there was a hint of reluctance in Concubine Zhao's expression.
Obviously, she never thought that after helping the emperor do so many things, after she was revealed to be pregnant, she only got a piece of cloud brocade?
However, Concubine Chun and Concubine Yi had already expressed their gratitude, so Concubine Zhao had no time to think too much.
I had no choice but to bow my head in thanks and stand up without saying anything more.
Originally, it was a happy event that three people became pregnant in succession.
But for some reason, there was only a faint smile on Hongli's face.
There was no sign of genuine happiness.
The atmosphere of the birthday party also became a little dull.
Depin sat there for a long time, looking at the banquet she had prepared, which had turned into such a state. It was really inappropriate.
Holding the wine glass, he was about to stand up when he met Qingying's gaze.
After a moment of hesitation, he stopped talking.
Then she turned her head and glanced at the maid beside her. The sound of stringed instruments began to play in the hall, and singing and dancing came into the hall.
At this point, Concubine Yi seemed to have figured something out.
He picked up the licorice tea that He Xi had made early in the morning.
"emperor."
Hongli turned around and looked at Concubine Yi, and finally smiled.
"I thank Your Majesty for taking the trouble to prepare such a demanding birthday banquet for me. However, I am pregnant and cannot drink alcohol, so I will use tea instead. Thank you for your grace."
Hongli didn't say anything either.
He raised his glass and gestured from a distance, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
With Qingying's signal, Depin, the main person in charge, kept silent.
Concubine Yi has always been a cold person.
He actually let the atmosphere at the table grow colder.
In the end, Hongli couldn't sit still anymore.
He put down his wine glass and stood up, saying, "It's getting late today, so I'll stop here. I have things to do in the Qinzheng Palace, so you can all return to your palaces."
He left after saying a few words.
Even the protagonist, Concubine Yi, was not brought along.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how they had offended each other.
Qingying stood up as well.
She smiled and said, "Today is a good day for Concubine Yi, and it is also a good day for the three sisters to be pregnant. The emperor is busy with government affairs, so the sisters should return to the palace and entertain themselves."
There was a response from the audience, and Qingying turned and left.
As soon as he walked out the door, he saw Jinbao waiting on the side.
Seeing Qingying coming out, Jinbao hurriedly came forward to greet her, "Empress, the Emperor invites you to the Qinzheng Palace."
Qingying was not surprised.
"But what did you say?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor never said that."
Qingying nodded, got on the sedan chair, and soon arrived outside the gate of Qinzheng Hall.
As I walked through the door, I looked up and saw Hongli sitting in front of the desk with a frown on his face. He didn't know where his eyes were looking, and his face was full of distress.
You can probably guess what the other person is thinking.
But I have some doubts.
The one he didn't want to get pregnant was Concubine Ke.
So what about Concubine Zhao?
It’s not like she’s been pregnant before, why is she like this this time?
Qingying walked up slowly and said, "Your Majesty."
"You came."
"Yes, the emperor seems unhappy?"
Qingying walked to the side and sat down, then spoke again.
Hongli looked a bit struggling.
In his opinion, Qingying was unaware of what he had ordered Zhaopin to do.
