The Queen Mother snorted coldly at the scene in front of her. Ji Ruoyu also looked at the scene that just happened and couldn't help sighing in her heart. It seems that the emperor favors Rou Zhaoyi more than she thought.
After the incident, the Right Prime Minister's family lost interest and said goodbye to Teng Chengping with a sullen face and left.
Teng Chengping was worrying about how to stop seeing the Right Prime Minister's face, and now he came to the door.
Chu Zijing was a little happy to win the scene. She didn't want to speak for those women, but when Xian Zhaoyi said that she liked her, she naturally wanted to slap her in the face in front of everyone.
Xian Zhaoyi was a little restless. She just praised Fang Peixuan so hard, and now Teng Chengping and the Queen Mother's attitude, wouldn't she be slapping the emperor's face again?
When she thought of this, she remembered that she still had a son. She forced a smile and stood up, holding the wine glass and said to Teng Haomu: "Mu'er, why don't you stand up and toast your father?"
Teng Haomu was a "foolishly filial" child in ancient times. Except for Liu Ying's matter, he would respond to Xian Zhaoyi's request in everything.
"Father, your son toasts you a glass." After saying that, he drank the wine glass in his hand. Although Teng Chengping didn't like Xian Zhaoyi, Teng Haomu was his son after all, so he would naturally not give him face.
"Okay!" Teng Chengping also took a sip of wine after saying that. Xian Zhaoyi looked at Teng Chengping's reaction and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart. Even if His Majesty hated her, she didn't say it, but after all, she had the eldest prince as her son, and her son was always the trump card in her hand.
Chu Zijing watched this scene quietly. No matter how much Teng Chengping hated Xian Zhaoyi, she was still the eldest prince's biological mother. As she thought about it, she understood that the pregnancy should not be delayed any longer, and she had to speed up.
Teng Chengping looked in Chu Zijing's direction and saw her staring at him in a daze. She stared at him blankly, which made Teng Chengping feel distressed.
Although he had just stood up for her, he still felt that he had wronged her.
"Rou Zhaoyi, what are you thinking about?" Chu Zijing naturally would not let Teng Chengping know her thoughts, and just smiled and said nothing.
Xian Zhaoyi was really uncomfortable all the time. She sat down slowly and pretended to have discovered something inadvertently.
"Huh? Why is the third prince not here? Sister Shufei, why didn't Haojue come? Today is a family banquet for the whole palace. It's not good to be absent without reason..." Teng Chengping and the Queen Mother knew that Teng Haojue was ill and could not attend the family banquet, but Xian Zhaoyi didn't know.
"Jue'er is ill and should not come to the palace to see the emperor, so as not to pass on the disease to the empress dowager and His Majesty." Teng Chengping also said after Ren Yin finished speaking: "Jue'er is filial. He sent a message to me early this morning. Fulai, go to the warehouse to pick a ginseng and send it to Prince An's Mansion later. I told him to take good care of his illness."
After Ren Yin thanked her, Xian Zhaoyi was left alone and embarrassed. Why didn't anyone tell her...
The third prince? Ji Ruoyu remembered at this time that she had met the eldest prince and the second prince, and even the two princesses, but only the third prince was left.
Now seeing that Concubine Shu was so gentle, and even the second princess inherited Concubine Shu's temperament, I think the character and personality of the third prince should not be much worse.
After the awkward atmosphere passed, it returned to the lively atmosphere again, and the banquet was over unknowingly. The empress dowager couldn't stand the sleepiness and went back to the Cining Palace first.
Even His Majesty and Consort Rou returned to Chenghuan Palace first, and everyone said goodbye when they saw this. The Ji family also followed and left the palace. Just as they were about to get on the carriage, they heard someone calling Ji Pingchuan's name.
"Master Ji, please stay." It turned out to be the Left Prime Minister Lu Zhichuan.
Ji Pingchuan bowed and asked, "Master Left Prime Minister, is there anything?" Lu Zhichuan said with some guilt in his tone, "I really shouldn't come to disturb you late at night, but I still want to ask. Do you and your wife have time in a few days? I want to bring my wife and children to visit Ling's house. I wonder if you two have time?"
Ji Pingchuan smiled when he heard this: "Yes, Master Left Prime Minister, please tell me when you want to visit, so that I can prepare to receive you two."
"Then it's settled. I will bring my wife and children to Ling's house as a guest in three days. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." After that, Lu Zhichuan bowed and left.
After the two finished talking, Ji Pingchuan looked at his wife and daughter and said to them, "Let's go."
