Chapter 608 He lied to me?
Bai Zhi had long seen that Zhen Yurao would be restless, and as soon as she returned to Baohe Hall, she cleverly reported the matter.
When Zhen Huan heard that her sister would not come to Baohe Hall, she felt angry and anxious, and her face showed emotion.
"Mother, Yu Rao... is simply..."
Sitting above her was Concubine Hua, so Zhen Huan had to swallow what she was about to say.
But her expression couldn't lie, and Concubine Hua, who had been staring at her, asked with a smile.
"Concubine Zhen, today is the wedding day of the Eleventh Prince and Princess Lingxi. I noticed that you looked strange. Are you unhappy with the Emperor's early departure? Or do you have any complaints about the Hundred Days Banquet organized by the Imperial Noble Concubine? Or perhaps, you feel wronged by sitting below me?"
Zhen Huan suppressed her anger and bowed slightly.
"Reporting to Her Majesty, Noble Concubine Hua, I have not fully recovered since giving birth to the twins. I need to take medicinal food every day at this time to avoid heart palpitations. Today is a celebration in the palace, so it is inconvenient to bring medicinal food with me, so..."
"I never thought that this would cause Her Majesty to misunderstand me. This is truly my fault."
"You are such a sharp-tongued person. Whatever you say is true."
Concubine Hua raised her hand and said, "This song and dance is quite unique. Concubine Zhen might as well learn from it. I look forward to enjoying the song and dance you personally arrange next time."
"My Lady, you..."
Just as Zhen Huan was about to retort, Madam Zhen gently tugged at her sleeve.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Concubine Hua. I have long heard of her graceful beauty, and seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed as good as her reputation."
Madam Zhen had seen all kinds of monsters and demons when she was in Ningguta. As soon as Concubine Hua opened her mouth, she knew that this person could only be approached in a favorable way and must not confront her.
The eldest daughter always wanted to argue with her about right and wrong, which was why she was targeted many times.
Concubine Hua was already dissatisfied with the hundred-day banquet held for Zhen Huan's twins, and this sudden interruption made her even angrier.
"Who are you? Didn't you see that I was talking to Concubine Zhen? Are there any rules?"
"Your Highness is right. I am the mother of Your Highness Zhenfei. The Emperor sent someone to my home and ordered me to attend the Hundred Days Banquet. I unexpectedly offended Your Highness. It is my fault."
Mrs. Zhen replied in a low voice while holding her eldest daughter's hand tightly to prevent her from acting impulsively.
This was the first time Concubine Hua had seen such a self-deprecating person, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
It's really uncomfortable to hold this breath in my heart and feel like I can't let it go.
After a moment's silence, she could only say something indifferently.
"You are self-aware."
Concubine Hua sat in her chair, thinking about how to respond next time she received such a shameless answer.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her sharp eyes would occasionally glance at the person at the next table.
With Concubine Hua watching closely, Zhen Huan couldn't discuss her sister's affairs with her mother.
I had to suppress my irritability and enjoy the singing and dancing.
An Lingrong had received the news that Zhen Yurao was taken to the Ministry of Punishment by Su Peisheng himself. She looked at Concubine Hua worriedly.
If she jumped out at this time to confront Zhen Huan, wouldn't she be bringing hatred towards herself?
After repeated warnings, Songzhi gave up the idea of Concubine Hua taking action against Zhen Yurao.
This one didn't notice, her mouth had a mind of its own.
An Lingrong sighed helplessly, feeling that Concubine Hua was even more difficult to discipline than Hongyao.
She turned to look at her son, only to find that Hongyao had slipped to Hongxia's table at some point.
The two little guys were busy having fun, one was standing on a chair to take meat out of the pot, and the other was stuffing it into his mouth.
Hongyao's cheeks were puffy, as if he hadn't eaten for several days.
All the same awful stuff.
An Lingrong waved to Baoque.
"The mutton on my table has not been touched yet. You can give it to the Eighth Prince."
"Yes, Master, I will go right away."
Baoque placed the hot pot directly on the Seventh Prince's desk. After she came back, she reported it in a low voice.
"Master, I noticed three hot pots with only soup left under the Eighth Prince's chair."
"How about asking me to knock on the kitchen door and prepare more food for the Eighth Prince?"
An Lingrong glanced at Hongzhan and Zhaohua's desks with a wooden face, and sure enough, the pots were missing.
"No need to add more. The amount of food the kitchen sent him already exceeds that of Hongzhan."
What's more, Hongxia, who lived next door to him, would come to him with his lunch box every meal.
Only about three months after moving out of Yongshou Palace, the child has developed another double chin.
An Lingrong really wanted Baoque to bring back the pot she had given away, but she was afraid that Hongyao, who was protecting his food, would make a scene.
She glanced back inadvertently and found that two hot pots were missing from the emperor's desk.
Forget it! Forget it! Being able to eat is a blessing.
An Lingrong sat in the hall for a while. When she was wondering whether to leave early, she saw Zhen Huan, who had been stared at by Concubine Hua, stand up and walk out.
There were many people in Baohedian, so it was inevitably stuffy and hot, and people went out to get some fresh air from time to time.
Zhen Huan had already seen through her sister's trick of throwing out the wine and leaving the table. The thought of her sister deceiving her again made her feel as if a huge rock was blocking her heart.
"Baizhi, I'm going to the front to get some fresh air. You don't have to follow me."
Bai Zhi stopped obediently, but her eyes never left her master's figure.
Zhen Huan walked down the steps slowly and was about to turn and walk to the back of Baohe Hall, but she unexpectedly found that someone was talking there.
"Ying'er, you've taken such good care of Yonghu. He's so chubby and adorable."
Seeing that Ye Lanyi's words were full of envy, Yu Ying'er directly stuffed her fat son into her arms.
"If the false news about the prince's accident hadn't come, the child in your belly wouldn't have been in danger. Lan Yi, now that the prince has returned safely, do you want to have another child? A child born by yourself is always better than..." an adopted one.
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ye Lan Yi.
"Ying'er, the prince is still in mourning, so it's too early to talk about this now. If the prince hadn't asked me to enter the palace to attend the Hundred Days Banquet, I wouldn't have come."
"Don't say such things again. Hongming is a good boy. Having him by my side..."
Zhen Huan leaned against the wall, her body trembling slightly, and she could no longer hear the rest of the conversation.
Her mind was full of the news that Ye Lan Yi was pregnant.
She once thought that Yunli belonged to her only, and he had promised not to have children with other women.
He lied to me?
Zhen Huan immediately shook her head. She could feel Yunli's deep affection for her.
There must be some misunderstanding, she...
But now she is the emperor's concubine, how can she have the face to question him?
Zhen Huan scratched her palms hard, trying to wake herself up.
Today is the children's hundred-day party. Her every move is under the watchful eyes of people, and she cannot show any abnormality.
So Zhen Huan blinked, stood up straight, and walked down the stairs again.
