Chapter 321 New Year's Eve Family Dinner

After seeing off Noble Lady Qi who came to visit (Note 1) and Noble Lady Chun who came to watch the fun, Cui Jinxi (Note 2) couldn't help but ask, "Noble Lady Qi, what does this mean?" Jinxi couldn't figure out what Noble Lady Qi meant.

Zhen Huan continued to practice her Kung Fu tea, not looking up, "What's her intention? She just wants to take advantage of the concubine."

"Take advantage of you?" Then why not take advantage of Concubine Xian's help?

Cui Jinxi didn't dare to ask this out loud, but just complained in her heart.

"Although my position is not high, I am the first among the six palaces in terms of the number of times I have slept with the emperor. The former Concubine Hua and the current Concubine Xian are both below me. I am afraid that her family has already investigated these matters before she entered the palace. It is good to lean on a big tree for shade. Guaerjia just wants to get the title of a favorite concubine!"

In her previous life, Guaerjia entered the palace and took refuge with the queen. It was the queen's intention to keep her by her side, because she wanted to use Guaerjia and her father to get rid of herself and her father.

"Keep a close eye on Suiyuxuan and make sure nothing goes wrong."

The two princesses of Concubine Hua were already half a year old (Note 3), and this was their first New Year since birth.

With the addition of two princesses, this New Year’s Eve banquet was particularly lively!

"Sister! Sister! Pretty sister!"

The Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince, as well as Princess Wen Yi and Princess Wan Kang gathered around Concubine Hua's two princesses to look at their younger sister.

After becoming a mother, Concubine Hua became extra gentle and no longer as domineering and arrogant as before.

"Only after becoming a mother do you realize how tiring life is." Although there are many wet nurses and palace maids in the Yikun Palace, she still has to personally take care of the princess's affairs.

"Are you okay?" Ling Rong asked with concern.

She didn't really care about Concubine Hua's health, she was just curious.

She had thought about it carefully before. Concubine Hua's first child was already fully formed when she had a miscarriage, so the baby must have been at least five or six months old. A miscarriage at such an advanced age could result in two deaths.

Concubine Hua must have been injured at that time, not to mention that she continued to use Huanyi incense afterwards. Her body must have a heavy musk smell. Now that she has given birth, how could she not have some hidden illness?

Ling Rong didn't quite believe it. In her previous life, when she used Xiji Pills, she damaged her body and couldn't keep her own child. Thinking of this, Ling Rong couldn't help but sigh!

The banquet began, and Prince Guo, who was usually unruly, sat down properly and waited for the meal to begin.

"Today is a family dinner, so don't be restrained."

Such a familiar opening line. Lingrong still remembered that every year at the New Year’s Eve banquet, the emperor would tell them not to be restrained.

But serving the king is like serving a tiger, how can you not feel restrained?

In the past, Prince Guo would joke with the emperor, saying that he was not restrained, but there were rules when entering the palace, and with rules one felt restrained.

The emperor seemed to be in a bad mood at the banquet. He had a sullen look on his face the whole time, and even when he smiled, it did not show in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing the emperor drinking with a gloomy face after the opening ceremony, she didn't want to ask. After all, his emotion was too obvious, and it would be a bit embarrassing not to ask.

"The snowstorm in the northwest Junggar tribe destroyed large areas of yurts and houses, and cattle and sheep froze to death or starved to death. The Junggar tribe began to move south to forage for grass and grain again."

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Isn't the Nian clan guarding the northwest from the war?"

The Queen's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making the Emperor feel even more complicated and uncomfortable.

Note 1: Actually, I think the word "visit" is not appropriate in this place, but I can't think of what to use at the moment. You can give me some comments.

Note 2: It seems that Jinxi's last name was wrong in the previous few chapters. I don't know whether she is Cui Jinxi or Su Jinxi. Please make do with it.

Note 3: I don’t know where the timeline is, so I just made one up at random*2.
