pet queen [rebirth]

This time the palace banquet was placed outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Today, the moon and stars are rare, the sky is bright and clear, and the imperial garden is nearby. According to the sixth prince's active personality, changing the palace banquet to open air will definitely make him very fond of it.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo arrived, they saw the sixth prince crawling around the banquet like a fat bee.

The sixth prince was still the same, with great pomp and battle, followed by a bunch of palace people and his nanny.

Fortunately, it was still early, and there were not many banquet guests, which allowed him to wander around like this.

The sixth prince ran amok, and fell into Su Mingmo's arms with a "plop" inadvertently.

Su Mingmo quickly supported him with his eyes.

The sixth prince raised his head, looked at Su Mingmo with puppy-like eyes, and said doubtfully, "I remember you, you are..."

The nanny hurriedly ran over: "Sixth Prince, don't run away, it's time for Concubine Yun to reprimand you again in a while!"

Hearing the nurse mentioning Concubine Yun, the sixth prince hurriedly backed away from Su Mingmo's arms anxiously.

The nanny saw Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo at a glance, and hurriedly saluted, "I have met King Ning and Princess Ning."

Xiao Qian nodded.

The sixth prince also came to his senses, bowed his body, and said in a childlike voice, "I've seen fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law."

Su Mingmo smiled, and said kindly: "I haven't seen the sixth prince for a while, and he has grown taller again."

The sixth prince was held by the nanny, looked at Su Mingmo curiously, and finally remembered: "It's you! I met the one who helped my prince pick flowers at the second brother's house before..."

"The Sixth Prince has a really good memory." Su Mingmo nodded with a smile, "It's getting late, and the guests will be here soon, so why don't the Sixth Prince go back to the table first?"

The sixth prince bit his finger, thought for a while and said, "I saw a beautiful butterfly in the imperial garden, you..."

The sixth prince glanced at Xiao Qian, then changed his words: "Sister-in-law Si, can you take me to see that butterfly?"

Probably the nanny and attendants always prevented him from doing this and that, which made the sixth prince rebellious. It was hard to meet someone who could talk to him. Last time, he helped him pick flowers in Duanwang's mansion. The sixth prince Thinking that Su Mingmo might be willing to play with him for a while, he whispered his thoughts.

Anyway, it was early, Su Mingmo didn't know why, he was always very patient with children of this age, he asked Xiao Qian with his eyes.

Xiao Qian nodded and said: "You go, I will let Siqing follow you."

Su Mingmo then said to the sixth prince: "Then I will accompany you for a walk, the sixth prince must promise not to run around."

The sixth prince tentatively came over, glanced at Xiao Qian and then again, stretched out his small hand, and gently held Su Mingmo's two fingers: "No, Rui'er is so good!"

Xiao Qian: "..."

He said to the nurse: "Follow the sixth prince closely, and don't let him out of your sight."

The nanny nodded hurriedly, and left with the sixth prince and Su Mingmo.

The sixth prince led Su Mingmo, and at least he stopped running around. Su Mingmo was afraid that he would fall, so he deliberately slowed down. In order to accommodate him, the sixth prince had no choice but to follow him slowly.

The nanny and the attendants who followed him also breathed a sigh of relief, and lined up to go to the imperial garden with them.

Gradually the sky darkened.

Lanterns were pulled up outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the surroundings were brightly lit.

The princes and ministers who were invited to the banquet gradually arrived, and they were all waiting for Emperor Xuancheng to arrive at the banquet.

After comforting the sixth prince, Su Mingmo came back from the imperial garden.

As soon as he sat down beside Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian turned to him and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything unusual?"

Su Mingmo shook his head, and said: "I didn't see anything unusual. The sixth prince was already tired. Concubine Yun took him away after she came over. The palace people followed him closely from the beginning to the end. There should be no problem."

Xiao Qian nodded: "That's good."

Su Mingmo said thoughtfully: "It's best if you think too much, my lord."

Emperor Xuan Cheng came late, he was visibly thinner than before, he seemed to be unwell, coughed lightly and said: "Let's start the banquet."

During the banquet, there was a lot of wine and wine, and with Emperor Xuancheng present, the princes and ministers seemed a little reluctant to let go, but the atmosphere was not bad.

The sixth prince walked to the middle, came forward with a cup of tea, knelt down and respectfully said to Emperor Xuancheng: "I wish my father good health and long live long live."

"Rui'er is interested, come here!" Emperor Xuan Cheng beckoned to him lovingly.

The sixth prince had a lively temperament, so he got up after listening to it, walked close to Emperor Xuan Cheng with two short legs, and beckoned him to listen to him.

Emperor Xuancheng lowered his head in cooperation, and the sixth prince said something in his ear, which made Emperor Xuancheng laugh out loud.

There was a happy scene all around, until Concubine Shu appeared accompanied by King Duan, stroking her stomach.

Her belly is not very obvious yet, but now everyone knows that she is pregnant, so she no longer shy away from it.

Probably because the cool wind was still blowing at night, Emperor Xuancheng was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he had ordered her to rest in the palace earlier, and when he saw Prince Duan helping her appear, Emperor Xuancheng was a little surprised: "Why is my concubine here?"

It's good that Emperor Xuan Cheng didn't make a sound, but when he made a sound, everyone's eyes turned to King Duan and Concubine Shu.

Hearing Emperor Xuancheng's inquiry, King Duan quickly bowed forward, and said to Emperor Xuancheng: "See Father, Mother and Concubine are so bored in the palace, so I have to come and have a look, and celebrate my sixth brother's birthday by the way."

Emperor Xuancheng nodded and said, "Li Youde, give me the table."

According to Emperor Xuancheng's wishes, Li Youde arranged a new table for Concubine Shu at a place very close to Emperor Xuancheng.

The long table of the palace banquet was very short, and all the ministers were sitting on the futons. The queen mother did not show up tonight. Except for the queen who was sitting next to Emperor Xuancheng, no one was treated like Concubine Shu.

However, the queen's unhappy expression only stayed on her face for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

Concubine Shu greeted the Sixth Prince with an amiable expression. The Sixth Prince didn't seem to want to talk to her, so he retreated from Emperor Xuan Cheng's side after only a few words, and trotted back to Concubine Yun's side.

This scene made everyone at the banquet look different.

It can be seen that Concubine Shu has been favored very much recently. Because of her humble background, she was always submissive in front of others, but now she is wearing brightly colored palace clothes and delicate hairpins, she is almost a different person from before.

Xiao Qian looked away from Concubine Shu.

After a while, Su Mingmo quietly reminded Xiao Qian: "My lord, the sixth prince has left the table."

Xiao Qian hurriedly raised his head, and saw that the sixth prince was being led by the nanny, as if he was going to change clothes behind.

Although the nanny got up, several attendants hurriedly followed, Xiao Qian was still not at ease, and turned to Siqing and said: "Siqing, you go and follow the sixth prince."

Si Qing responded, and quietly followed behind the sixth prince and his nanny.

Xiao Qian secretly paid attention to King Duan, but saw that he didn't respond, but Concubine Shu stood up quickly, stroked her stomach, and said to Emperor Xuancheng: "Your Majesty, my concubine is a little tired, and I want to go back to the palace to rest. "

Emperor Xuan Cheng nodded in agreement: "How about letting Li Youde see you off?"

"No, it's just a few steps, thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Shu asked the maid behind her to support her, and the two headed towards the harem together.

Xiao Qian looked at King Duan again, but he still sat in the banquet without moving.

Xiao Qian faintly felt that something was wrong, got up and said to Su Mingmo: "This king will go back as soon as he goes."

After Xiao Qian left, Su Mingmo looked at his back worriedly. After a while, he couldn't help getting up and following him.

Concubine Shu's figure disappeared on the path leading to the harem. Xiao Qian was inconvenient to follow, so he went in another direction to find the sixth prince, but after searching around, there was no one on the road that the sixth prince should pass by. Be vigilant, and walked more in the direction of other forks, and suddenly heard the voice of the Sixth Prince's nanny: "Sixth Prince, don't run away, Empress Yun will be upset in a while!"

"I saw a big butterfly!" The sixth prince said happily, "It's bigger than the one I saw with my sister-in-law before!"

How can there be any butterflies at this time?

Xiao Qian called out in a low voice: "Siqing? Siqing?"

Siqing's ear is very powerful, it was practiced since childhood, if Xiao Qian called him so, if he was not far away, he would definitely be able to hear him, but Xiao Qian called him like that for a long time, he still didn't respond at all.

After a while, Xiao Qian became panicked when he heard the nanny's voice: "Sixth Prince, where have you been, don't scare me!"

Xiao Qian gave up calling Siqing and quickened his pace.

Going around the back of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the road went back to the Imperial Garden. For a while, Xiao Qian didn't know which direction to go. He suddenly remembered that there was a lotus pond not far from the Imperial Garden. The water was not shallow, and he hurriedly turned around.

Before reaching the place, Siqing suddenly appeared from an unknown direction, raised her hand and stopped Xiao Qian: "My lord, please stop."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Qian asked, "What happened to the sixth prince?"

"Concubine Shu just ordered someone to push the sixth prince down the pond. Siqing saw it with her own eyes! But the prince, the only ones who know about this are you and me, except Concubine Shu and her subordinates. I'm afraid you won't be able to pass, otherwise the emperor will blame you ,can not say it clearly……"

Xiao Qian thought about it for a while, the sixth prince doesn't know how to swim, if he falls into the pond, it will be bad luck.

But what Siqing said makes sense, is it to be saved or not?

Xiao Qian only hesitated for a moment, and then saw Ming Mo coming out from behind: "My lord, I'll save him!"

After finishing speaking, he took off his outer robe two or three times, and jumped into the lotus pond not far away with a "plop".

"Zi Yu!" Xiao Qian's heart tightened, and he was about to jump down desperately, but he saw Su Mingmo's head fell to the bottom of the pool, and soon surfaced again.

"I found it, my lord!" Su Mingmo dragged the sixth prince's head with one hand, and kept swimming towards the pool.

Xiao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go to greet him, when he found that Su Mingmo stopped halfway, and somehow encountered some difficulties, and got into the water again.

Xiao Qian guessed that his feet might be entangled by aquatic plants.

He simply didn't hesitate anymore, and plunged into the water.

As expected, the sixth prince's feet were entangled by water plants. Xiao Qian dived into the water, took out a short knife that he carried with him, and cut off the water plants neatly, before returning to the shore with the sixth prince in his arms.

Although it was summer, the water in the pond was still bone-chillingly cold. After Xiao Qian went ashore, he took off his wet coat and put it on Su Mingmo temporarily, which was better than nothing.

He thought to himself that now is a good time, without anyone to witness, Concubine Shu might directly put the blame on him and Su Mingmo.

Previously, he was only wary of Prince Duan, but he did not expect that Concubine Shu would actually interfere. The methods of both mother and son are equally insidious, making it impossible to guard against.

Xiao Qian thought for a moment of an excuse that he could barely cope with, and said to Si Qing: "Go and call someone!"

Before Siqing had time to leave, a hurried footstep came from the end of the path: "Ruier! Ruier!"

It was Emperor Xuan Cheng, he arrived so soon!
