Chapter 79 Birthday Banquet
Author: Huatang Embroidery Pavilion
Fang Yoon didn't ask how Qingrong did it, but the results were very fast.
On the fifth day when Zhou Shuren was banned, the maid named Furong stood up and said that Zhou Shuren used aphrodisiac to Pei Yao in order to get pregnant with this child.
Because the aphrodisiac has a strange fragrance, in order to cover up her eyes, she would apply a thicker rose incense to cover it up whenever she used the medicine. This fragrance made the prince more favored to her while she was sleeping.
It cannot be said that this is the reason for being able to conceive this child, but Zhou Shuren used this aphrodisiac to compete for favor and to seek a child.
As soon as this was said, Zhou Shuren shouted and beat and killed in Qingfeng Pavilion. If the guards had not stopped him, she would have almost strangled Furong to death on the spot.
However, even if she strangled Furong to death, it would be useless, because when Furong told the matter outside, she had already taken out the aphrodisiac with it. It can be said that it was evidence of human evidence.
When this happened, Pei Yao was not in the Eastern Palace, and the incident first came to the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess turned green on the spot.
Not to mention how angry he was when Pei Yao returned to the palace and learned that Zhou had used such a method to him.
Immediately issued an order to move Zhou out of the palace and send it to the outside village, and replaced all the people who served Zhou around him.
Of course, Zhou refused. She tried to speak with the child, but Pei Yao only asked Hong Zheng to tell her.
If the child in her womb cannot be born safely, not only will her life not be kept, but the entire Zhou family will be buried with her.
With this oral order, Zhou Shuren was just as determined to give up and dared not make trouble again. She was sent out of the palace quietly.
But as Fang Yoon expected, Pei Yao also had a hindrance to the children in Zhou Shuren's womb.
After all, behind this child’s arrival is such a dirty trick.
With Zhou Shuren being sent away, the whole thing was completely overturned.
However, because this incident made Pei Yao upset and there were many incidents in the previous dynasty, Pei Yao did not take a step to the backyard during this period, which also caused the pressure in the entire East Palace to be very low.
Fortunately, the Crown Princess arrived not long after her birthday. Perhaps because of the bad atmosphere in the palace, the Crown Princess also decided to take this opportunity to be lively.
First, it is to eliminate bad luck, and second, it is to make Pei Yao feel better.
Therefore, on the day of her birthday, the Crown Princess specially invited a famous juggling troupe in Beijing to perform in the palace.
These things are much more interesting than watching dramas in previous years, and they are not seen by the people even if they don’t go to them.
How could Pei Yao see that the Crown Princess was so careful about preparing, so she cooperated and smiled.
It's not all about acting. After all, this juggling is indeed quite fresh and interesting to Pei Yao, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time.
However, what Pei Yao did not expect was not only programs outside the palace, but also preparations in the palace.
After the Hundred Opera Troupe retired, Song Shuren wore a pink and blue water-sleeved long skirt and offered a soft dance.
This Song Shuren has always been inconspicuous since she entered the palace. The only time she was noticed before was because her dowry maid was beaten to death by He Liangdi. She is also a difficult person.
Unexpectedly, it appeared in front of everyone again in this way, which has to be said to be amazing.
"I'm sure to dance with this, wishing the Empress a thousand years of prosperity and longevity!"
After the dance, Song Shuren bowed her body and bowed her head, and she was graceful.
Pei Yao didn't say anything, but his face was gentle, and he obviously admired this dance.
Seeing this, the Crown Princess smiled and spoke.
"I didn't know that Song Shuren had such good skills in the past. Today, I look at your dance, and it looks like a fairy from the clouds. I remembered that there was a set of sapphires in my warehouse, which was very suitable for you. Add ink and go and get it for you.
Song Shuren.”
"I am performing my skills today to celebrate the birthday of the Empress. Why did I accept the Empress's gift again?"
Song Shuren hurriedly refused.
However, the Crown Princess's tone was firm and she still rewarded the thing.
While the two of them were talking, Fang Yoon, who was sitting down, was fighting wits and courage with a crab.
Originally, Qingrong was dismantling this crab, but it was pitiful. Fang Xuan hadn't eaten it several times, and Qingrong hadn't served it several times, so he couldn't do it well by hand.
Fang Xuan couldn't see it, so he started it.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Song Shuren is now showing off on the field. Who cares about her? It’s not yet her turn.
But it just happened that there was an idle person glance at him.
For example, His Highness the Crown Prince.
Maybe I just watched Song Shuren's performance and was looking forward to the performance of others, so I swept my head while the Crown Princess and Song Shuren talked.
Unexpectedly, I saw Fang Yoon's small movements.
Fang Yoon was dismantling the crabs, Qingrong was delivering the utensils next to him, and the master and servant gathered together as if they were dismantling the bombs.
Pei Yao couldn't help but feel funny, so he deliberately called out.
"Fang Liangdi, what is the birthday gift you gave to the Crown Princess?"
After being suddenly named, Fang Yoon couldn't help but be shocked. He quickly threw down his things, wiped his hands with a veil, and stood up.
"Go back to Your Highness, I embroidered a phoenix hundred-life picture for the Empress, and a two-color peony handkerchief." Fang Xuan replied.
Because he was anxious and seemed a little dry, he slowly added.
"I have no valuable things to offer to the Empress, only this kind of filial piety. These two things are embroidered by my own stitches. I just hope that the Empress will not dislike the shabby gifts of my congratulations."
Pei Yao deliberately wanted to tease her, so she looked a little bit like this. The smile on her face became a little bit deeper when the teacher caught her in class.
But the Crown Princess didn't notice Pei Yao's expression at this moment, and just spoke gently.
"Your craftsmanship is excellent. I used the two platters you sent last time. This hundred-life picture is difficult to embroider. You can also integrate the pattern of the phoenix. It will definitely be even more difficult. Take it up quickly.
Call me to take a look.”
"yes."
Fang Xuan recovered so much that he smiled calmly and bowed with a smile, and only knew Yan Wei and Qingrong to take the things up.
She has good skills. When the Crown Princess saw the phoenix's hundred-life picture, she was very amazed and couldn't help but take a closer look.
At this moment, Fang Xuan stared at the direction where Pei Yao was and accused clearly.
However, Pei Yao was thick-skinned and just smiled and raised his chin at her, as if he was a little proud.
Such behavior made Fang Xuan unable to help but curse in his heart, what kind of childish behavior is that he is a prince of a country.
"Oh, this handkerchief is double-sided embroidered?"
The Crown Princess's amazement pulled Fang Yoon's thoughts back.
When I raised my eyes, I saw the Crown Princess pick up the handkerchief and look at it repeatedly, looking very much like she couldn't let it go.
"Greeting on the queen, this is the double-sided strange-color embroidery I just learned a while ago. But my skills are not good and time is in a hurry, so I only embroidered this handkerchief. I hope the queen likes it."
Fang Yoon smiled.
The Crown Princess nodded with confidence with great face.
"You are smart, and this handkerchief is really well embroidered. When I was in the boudoir, I got two double-sided round fans, and I still have it in stock. I can't bear to take it out. If I get your handkerchief, it seems that I'm going to use it again.
I have to find a brocade box to pack it.”
After she finished speaking, Pei Yao put down his wine glass and said with a smile.
"Well, if Fang Liangdi uses this skillful force elsewhere, the crab will probably be opened. Hong Zheng, take this plate of crab to Fang Liangdi."
What everyone hadn't noticed before, Pei Yao mentioned it now.
Well, everyone saw the half-demolted crab on Fang Yoon's plate. For a moment, everyone laughed.
Seeing this situation, Fang Yoon had no choice but to thicken his face and lie down and gritted his teeth.
"Thank you for your reward!"
Thank you for your recommendation votes, I love you!
