246. The concubine? Just the concubine?

It was still Weiyang Palace, and there were still guests sitting one after another, and the palace maids and attendants who had various fruits and snacks on them. It seemed that the palace banquet had never been held, and everyone forgot what had happened in this palace.

It was not too early or too late for Qi Mingluan to go to Weiyang Palace with her grandmother, and even the layout of seats in the hall had almost no changes.

"Grandmother, can Xiaoqi go to his grandmother's place to pay homage?" Grandfather, grandmother, uncle and cousin were already inside, and was talking to his father and elder brother.

"Go, your grandmother was talking to me yesterday. Xiaoqi is almost unrecognizable if she didn't see her for a long time." As a family member, when the female relatives entered the palace the afternoon before, Mrs. Xu had already said a lot to Mrs. Qi, and she really didn't have the opportunity to meet Xiao Mingluan well.

"Hello grandfather, grandmother, ex-Jinshi uncle, Jinshi uncle, and Tanhua cousin!" Qi Mingluan, who was jogging all the way, bowed obediently and greeted him one by one, smiling happily, and felt very miserable. Fortunately, there was a illegitimate uncle and another cousin who had not come, otherwise she would have nodded and nodded so that her neck would fall off.

"Xiao Mingluan! Come on, let my grandmother hug you. Oh, it's so much heavier, it's true. They are all in the capital, why don't you come to see my grandmother more? Even your grandmother said that Xiao Mingluan couldn't stay in the Qi Mansion and always ran out. Even if there were Qiao Xiao and Qiao following him, it was still not a good thing as a girl's house..."

"Mom, you are talking about Xiao Mingluan every day. Isn't Xiao Mingluan here now?" The second uncle of the handsome man, Xu Hongyuan, quickly came out to rescue the siege. Although the entire Xu family liked Xiao Mingluan very much, it would be unreasonable if Xiao Mingluan ran to the grandfather's house every few days. Maybe someone would take the opportunity to catch the handle. After all, the Xu family has a certain official position in the court, and the Qi family holds the most practical wealth.

But how could this little niece not be remembered in her heart? Look at her greetings and calling her ex-Jinshi uncle. There is no such name? It made them laugh and cry at the beginning. Could it be that they still call Shaoxing the second-level brother every day in the Qi Mansion?

"My grandmother still likes Xiao Mingluan the most now. When her mother gives birth to a little brother or a little sister in a few months, her grandmother will love others even more." When Mrs. Xu's words came towards her, Qi Mingluan felt sweet in her heart. These are her family and her closest relatives in this life. Everyone really loves and pampers her, and they are full of happiness.

"How could it be? No matter whether your mother gives Xiao Mingluan a younger brother or a younger sister, there is only one Xiao Mingluan in the world. She will always be the irreplaceable Xiao Mingluan in her grandfather's heart." Mr. Xu had no tough style of competing with others in the court. He kindly came over with a beard and rubbed Qi Mingluan's little face. Then he raised his face and asked Qi Houru, "Houru, have you ever said that you want another legitimate son, so that Xiao Mingluan felt that his younger brother or sister would steal her favor?"

"My father-in-law, the son-in-law has never said that. To be honest, what the son-in-law is most worried about is not whether Ran'er has a son or a daughter, but what is important is Ran'er's body. He never thought that he would be pregnant again. To be honest, if there is a situation in the future, Hou Ru will definitely protect Ran'er..."

Qi Houru hurriedly bowed and defended himself. On the other hand, Qi Shaocheng did not have time to hold back his father's words of unshirkable truth.

"What stupid things are you saying! Don't say anything auspicious during the Chinese New Year! Spit quickly, Ran'er will definitely be safe." As expected, Mr. Xu scolded Qi Houru even more severely. Only Qi Mingluan could see clearly, and there was still a light of praise in his grandfather's eyes.

Dad is a rare infatuated man. In ancient society, he usually valued more children. His father is better, loves his wife, and loves his daughter. He even says that he should keep his first wife's life. Compared to modern society, when a wife enters the delivery room to give birth, he will only ask whether the child has been born, and only holds the child and looks at this and that without asking the mother-in-law.

It would be lucky if a woman could find a fool like her father in her life. Qi Mingluan, with her modern soul, never had the idea of ​​being a husband for her wife's essay, and she was destined to be a virtuous wife and mother who would be at peace with her.

"Yes, yes, it's Hou Ru's fault. My father-in-law also knows that his son-in-law has always been stupid." Qi Houru smiled silly, touched the back of his head, and was respectful and polite in front of Qi Shaocheng and Qi Mingluan in front of him.

"It's true, I still don't understand why Ran'er fell in love with you back then." After Mr. Xu threw this very shameless sentence to Qi Houru, he continued to rub Qi Mingluan's tender face with his beard.

Grandfather, you obviously have a bad attitude. Although you may not be as accommodating to your grandmother, you can see that there is a son-in-law who loves his daughter very much. How could the father be unhappy? Qi Houru may have some of his IQs, and he is also making a lot of money and not letting his mother Xu Ranmei suffer.

"Dad, mom, you came so early." While speaking, Princess Duan Xu Ranxiu came to the hall. Duan Wangyuyu and Yu'ang were not together. Only two sons and one daughter came with him. He happened to see Mr. Xu having a happy chat here, so he also chatted with his family before the palace banquet officially began.

"Hello, my aunt, Mingluan greets my aunt. Hello, my cousin, my cousin Sheng!" He continued to be well-behaved, while cursing Emma in his heart. Visa himself has so many cousins, it seems that his cousin has not come yet, and there is also the top cousin from his aunt.

"I feel relieved when Xiao Mingluan is in good spirits." Xu Ranxiu was happy when she saw Qi Mingluan, and couldn't help but pinch her cheeks. "Xiao Mingluan has time to come to my aunt for more walks. Your cousin Yizhi is raising her baby in the mansion, and she is happy to have you often talk to her." After all, King Duan came back and said that Qi Mingluan had saved Sun Miaoqing's life and had been tired for several hours. If she had known that the Qi family was finally settled in such a remote place as Liuyun Hall, she would have sent someone to pick her up in the palace where she rested.

The group said something else from left to right. Qi Mingluan saw that her elder brother didn't speak much, but only had a gentle smile like a signboard. Could it be that the elder brother didn't know about the marriage between the elder brother and the elder sister Hai Yan? He even never saw Da Qiao, who should have been with his elder brother.

"Miss Seven, the banquet is about to begin." Ginkgo came to Qi Mingluan and reminded softly.

"Oh." Alas, at the beginning of the palace banquet, I had to sit in such a corner with my grandmother, which was not fun at all.

When everyone enters the seats they should enter, the bustling atmosphere is really a festive atmosphere of the New Year.

"The emperor and the queen are here!" The process is exactly the same as yesterday, so realistic that Qi Mingluan always feels that everything before is just a tired dream.

Yu Yujue was still wearing a dragon robe and a majestic and sacred emperor. Sun Lian'er was gorgeous phoenix robe. The golden headdress of the phoenix spirit bead made her look elegant and luxurious. Only the fifth prince Yu Yide was able to come in with the emperor and the queen to be worshipped by all officials.

Yu Yixin, Yu Yiqin, and Yu Yixiu also brought their children to salute the emperor and the queen respectfully.

"It's Mr. Sun and his wife, and Sun Miaoqing." Someone from the guests exclaimed softly, which made Qi Mingluan confirm again that it was not a dream. It was indeed someone who poisoned the dishes at the palace banquet. For some reason, Sun Miaoqing was wailing like a ghost, and she herself did save Sun Miaoqing's life.

Sun Miaoqing, who had put on a goose yellow lotus skirt, followed Mrs. Sun quietly, and entered the hall with her behind Empress Sun, with her eyes low and calm. This is the dignified girl who should be shown in front of others. I don’t know if she remembered how incompetent she had ever been.

"Everyone is not a gift. Today's dishes are still the snacks and medicinal foods of Mengmeilou. But don't worry, I specially asked Manager Mo to invite the chef of Mengmeilou into the palace. Since I want to invite you to taste the deliciousness of Mengmeilou, it must be authentic."

Yu Yujue always showed a good mood and gave people the illusion. While waving his hand, in addition to the palace maids who continued to serve food, the high platform in the hall was also carried up by several father-in-laws.

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. It is also Mo's honor to be able to get everyone's approval of the medicinal food in Mengmeilou." Mo Lan stood up and fanned it in front of her. Her monster-looking, monster-smile smile, and monster-smelling tone were all in line with Mo Lan's usual, but the yellow robe on her body made Qi Mingluan feel like she was blinking.

"By the way, Ginkgo." Chu Wan gently waved Ginkgo over. After giving a few instructions, Ginkgo Fufu's body quietly retreated from the hall. Then Chu Wan smiled meaningfully at Mo Lan opposite him like nothing happened.

"Your Majesty, the dish you are serving now is called Baicao Braised Chicken. It is a new dish recently released by Mengmeilou. It has not been added to Mengmeilou's menu yet." Mo Lan felt distressed by Chu Wan's eyes. She had not yet thought of the reason and continued to talk politely to Yu Yujue.

"Oh? Then I have a good taste. Girl Miaoqing, you can try it too. Mengmeilou's medicinal food is not ordinary. I heard that in the capital, you have to book a few days earlier to have a meal." Yu Yujue's attitude towards Sun Miaoqing was no different or unusual, for the time being.

"Yes, I will also benefit from the emperor. By the way, you said you had a happy event in the morning, but it had something to do with Qing'er." Queen Sun seemed to have started talking casually, but in fact, Yu Yujue told her in person that she would give Sun Miaoqing and Yide a marriage, so it would be better to make a reservation earlier.

"It's the Queen's reminder. Good news will naturally be given to you. I like Miaoqing, a child who is talented and beautiful. I think he is very compatible with Yide. Today, I will be the master of this and betroth Miaoqing to the fifth prince Yide as his concubine."

Yu Yujue was very happy to say it, but in the end, it made many people's smiles froze on their faces.

A concubine? Just a concubine?
