He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Princess An sent Princess Huai'an back to Prince An's Mansion. After Shen Wan watched them leave, she turned and walked towards the pavilion where Queen Song and the others were.

Seeing her returning, Concubine Wang Shu asked, "Is Princess Huai'an okay?"

Shen Wan replied, "It shouldn't be a serious problem, but she was so unhappy that she couldn't smell the flowers. She was too weak to attend the emperor's birthday banquet after vomiting. Princess An sent her back."

Empress Song put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Since you are pregnant, you should stay in the palace honestly, and there will be no shortage of her to celebrate the emperor's birthday."

The person who said this was Princess Huai'an, and it was a blow to Shen Wan.

Shen Wan still couldn't hear the overtones of Queen Song. She said, "My father and eldest brother have left Beijing, and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion has divided the families. If Princess Huai'an does not enter the palace, there will be no one in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion to offer birthday gifts to the emperor." "

There is no shortage of Huai'an Princess to wish the Emperor a birthday, but there is only one Huai'an Princess in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion who can come forward to wish the Emperor a birthday.

Empress Song did not expect that Shen Wan would dare to contradict her in public, and her eyes were filled with coldness. Concubine Wang Shu looked at Shen Wan's swollen belly and said with envy, "Back then, when I was pregnant with the emperor's son, I was so vomited that I couldn't even leave the palace. I was still Princess Ling. You are blessed and don’t have to suffer the pain of happiness.”

None of the ladies present had experienced the hardships of pregnancy. The more hardships they endured, the more envious they became of Shen Wan.

Even Empress Song, no matter how much she wished to kill Shen Wan, had to admit that Shen Wan was lucky enough.

Shen Wan stopped admiring the flowers and found a seat to sit down. After sitting there for a quarter of an hour, the young father-in-law came over and saluted, "The birthday banquet is about to begin, you can take a seat now."

"Then take your seats."

Queen Song stood up and took the lead out of the pavilion.

Concubine Zheng and Concubine Wang Shu followed.

Then came the eldest princess of Huyang and the right prime minister's wife. Shen Wan walked at the end without being in a hurry.

The emperor's birthday banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When Shen Wan arrived, Xie Jingyan came from nowhere. The two happened to meet outside the hall and entered the hall together.

The sitting position was the same as the previous palace banquets, sitting opposite Xie Jingyin.

Xie Jingyin was sitting there, his expression not very good. Qian'er had received twenty blows from the emperor. Although he had been recovering for two days, the injury was not completely healed. It still hurt a little when he sat down, and it became even more painful after sitting for a long time.

The eldest prince sat on top of Xie Jingyin and said, "It seems that Prince Jin's injury has not healed yet. If you really can't hold on anymore, you can go back. Father, I won't blame you."

Xie Jingyin's face was longer than that of a horse. He didn't know whether it was the eldest prince or Prince Ling who plotted against him this time. No matter who it was, if he caught the evidence, he would definitely get back his capital and profits!

All the civil and military officials and their families were seated, and the inner hall was noisy and lively, with constant laughter and laughter until a drake voice came, "The Emperor has arrived!"

The noisy hall fell silent instantly.

The emperor came over, followed closely by Queen Song, then Concubine Zheng and Concubine Wang Shu, but the Queen Mother did not come with them.

Everyone in the palace knelt down and wished the emperor good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains.

The emperor smiled broadly and said, "Everyone, get up."

Only then did everyone get up.

Xie Jingyan helped Shen Wan up and then sat down.

After the emperor arrived, the birthday banquet officially began. The dancer came up to perform the dance, and the silk and bamboo were sweet and very beautiful.

After about two dances, another drake voice came:

"The Queen Mother is here!"

The emperor led all the officials to stand up and greet the queen mother.

The imperial court governs the country with filial piety. The emperor's birthday is the day when the queen mother suffered a lot and gave birth to the emperor. Today is the day when hundreds of officials congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and it is also the day when the emperor expresses his filial piety to the queen mother.

The emperor helped the Queen Mother sit down, and then glanced at Eunuch Yuan. Eunuch Yuan clapped his hands, and two palace people brought something up, but it was covered with red silk. I don't know what it was.

The Queen Mother saw this and looked at the Emperor, "Is this...?"

The emperor said, "The Queen Mother loves to worship Buddha, so I ordered someone to build a Buddha statue and present it to the Queen Mother."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the father-in-law opened the red silk to reveal the Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue made of purple jade was half a person tall, crystal clear and so exquisite that even the Queen Mother, who was used to seeing good things, couldn't help but marvel.

This was not the first time Shen Wan saw this Buddha statue, but she still couldn't help but be amazed.

Purple jade Buddha statues are rare enough, and such a large purple jade Buddha statue is definitely a rare treasure.

The Queen Mother was overjoyed and said, "The Emperor has many things to do every day. It is enough to have this filial piety. Why do you bother to build such a Buddha statue for the Ai family?"

The emperor said, "Without the Queen Mother, where would I be? I should serve the Queen Mother with all my heart."

The emperor always respected the queen mother very much, and the queen mother didn't know it. The civil and military officials even praised the emperor's filial piety towards the queen mother, which made the queen mother even more elated.

The Queen Mother must accept the filial piety sent by the Emperor and immediately have someone carry it to Shoukang Palace.

After the emperor paid filial piety to the queen mother, then the princes and princesses paid filial piety to him as their father.

The princes and princesses presented birthday gifts, regardless of their seniority, in order of eldest and youngest.

The first person to present birthday gifts was naturally the eldest prince.

The eldest prince presented jade cabbage to the emperor.

The emerald color is crystal clear and elegant, transparent and flawless, lifelike. At first glance, one might think that the eldest prince couldn't think of it, so he gave it to the emperor as a cabbage. This shows how precious it is.

Shen Wan sat there and watched. Fortunately, the jade cabbage was not given to her by the man next to her, otherwise the emperor and the officials would really doubt that it was a real cabbage.

The emperor was very satisfied with the eldest prince's birthday gift. He praised the eldest prince a few words, and the eldest prince's eyebrows were quite proud.

After the eldest prince presented his congratulatory gift, King Jin came next.

Although it had been two days since the rain leak in the Ancestral Temple, King Jin's injury was not healed and his walking posture was unnatural. The Emperor was still a little unhappy when he thought of the Ancestral Temple.

Even if the King of Jin presented the Emperor with a coral tree half as tall as a man, the smile on the Emperor's face was very weak. It would be strange for the Emperor to be happy when he thought that this birthday gift might have been prepared for his father by deducting the money from repairing the Ancestral Temple. .

After King Jin came the third prince, who gave the emperor a jade Ruyi.

The fourth prince gave him a jade flute.

The fifth prince's birthday gift to the emperor was a painting by the emperor's favorite painter.

Then it was Xie Jingyan's turn.

All the officials are looking forward to the birthday gift from King Ling.

The birthday gifts given by other princes were mainly for luxury, but when it came to Prince Ling, they were mainly for perfunctory purposes.

And it's more perfunctory every year.

I don’t know if what King Ling gave me this year has improved, or whether it will break through the lower limit.

Xie Jingyan stood up and led Shen Wan to the stage to present birthday gifts. Well, before the birthday gifts were presented, the dog food was spread out first.

Seeing Xie Jingyan, the emperor remembered the birthday gift he had received from a certain traitor in the past few years, the kind that still makes him angry when he thinks about it now. The emperor was not looking forward to Xie Jingyan's birthday gift, he was a little afraid of receiving it. .

Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan wished the emperor a long life together, and then said, "My son, I drew a picture and presented it to my father."

Painted it yourself?

It has to be said that King Ling is a good money saver.

The fifth prince, who spent a lot of money to buy a painting, felt heartbroken.

The emperor said, "Did you draw it yourself? Open it and let me see it."

Behind him, the father-in-law held the painting and slowly unfolded it to show it to the emperor.

Almost the moment he saw the painting, the emperor's face fell.

There were gasps and gasps everywhere.

Shen Wan heard something was wrong. She turned her head to look at the painting and saw the portrait——

Shen Wan was shocked.

Xie Jingyan painted "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", how could it become a portrait of Concubine Chen? !
