After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Shen Yunjin gritted his teeth and nodded, then lay down on his side and stretched out his hand.

After an hour, Shen Yunjin felt that his hand was about to be disabled.

She regretted it again. Why did she have to mess with a man who had been single for a long time?

Xiao Minshen buried his head in Shen Yunjin's chest and let out a low growl.

It was finally over, and Shen Yunjin felt relieved.

She lay on the bed in an ungraceful manner, not noticing that her clothes were open, revealing her beautiful chest.

Because of her pregnancy, Shen Yunjin's breasts became much fuller.

When Xiao Minshen saw this, he felt something getting hard again.

He got out of bed and went to the cubicle to take a shower without calling the maid.

After coming out, he cleaned the bed again.

Shen Yunjin was so tired that she fell asleep. She dreamed that she was punished by her father to copy books. Her hands were so weak from copying that she cried and begged for mercy.

Xiao Minshen went to Qixia Garden and told Ning Ruyan that he was going to invite his brothers to his house for a gathering.

Ning Ruyan is his princess, and she has to take care of everything.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Prince of Qi held a banquet.

Ning Ruyan had been ordering the maid around her around in circles since early morning.

"Siqin, go check out the kitchen. Are today's dishes fresh?"

"Mo Hua, take out the top-quality Longjing tea from the tea room and prepare it. Send it to the prince and the others later."

"Mammy, please help me think about it. Is there anything wrong?"

Nanny Shen looked at Ning Ruyan, who looked much more lively, and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Ever since Ning Ruyan had a miscarriage and was confined to her house for three months, she has become increasingly gloomy.

Sometimes, I just sit there all day without saying a word.

She was almost anxious to death. It was rare to see Ning Ruyan acting the same as before she got married. No matter who she was doing it for, Nanny Shen was relieved.

People always have to have hope in order to survive in this age of the survival of the fittest.

"Princess, please have a cup of tea. Don't worry, everything has been arranged. I have already checked it out."

Nanny Shen handed over the tea. Ning Ruyan took a sip and asked, "Princess Anyang is coming too?"

"In reply to the princess, Princess Anyang is on the banquet guest list."

"Place Concubine Shen next to her. I am impatient to entertain her."

"Don't worry, Princess. This old servant saved it."

Shen Yunjin slept until noon and woke up. She felt her hands were so sore and weak.

The scene before she fell asleep flooded into her mind, and she couldn't help but complain inwardly: He deserves it.

He thought he had the upper hand, but ended up being the one who got eaten up.

"Concubine, how about wearing this pink dress today?" Yang Liu took out the prepared clothes.

"Change the skirt to the green one, and add that smoky green cape." Shen Yunjin took a glance.

Yang Liu hurriedly took it to change it, while Hong Liu skillfully helped Shen Yunjin to dress up.

"Apply a thin layer of pearl powder and some lip balm." Shen Yunjin instructed as she watched Hongliu open her dressing box.

She didn't like to wear makeup, and she didn't wear any at all after she got pregnant.

Today is different from the past. It’s a New Year’s banquet, and she’s the princess at the banquet, so she has to dress up no matter what.

Because she ate well and slept well during pregnancy, her skin became white and rosy, like a ripe peach in summer.

Nanny Li and the others privately thought that Shen Yunjin's baby must be a daughter.

Because many women who are pregnant with sons will develop spots on their faces and become ugly.

Only women who are pregnant with daughters will become more beautiful as they grow older.

In addition, Shen Yunjin has always been fond of sour and sweet foods during her pregnancy.

Shen Yunjin thought her daughter was a very nice person, caring and cute.

After Shen Yunjin had packed everything, she took Jinzhi and Yuzhi to Qixia Garden.

Since he was going to have a banquet, Xiao Minshen simply sent invitations to all of his royal brothers.

He received male guests in the outer courtyard, while Ning Ruyan's Qixia Garden received female guests.

Soon, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince came with their families.

"Hey, Fifth Brother, this is the first time you have invited us to your house for a gathering."

As soon as the Fourth Prince arrived, he hooked his arm around Xiao Minshen's shoulder, looking like a close brother.

"Fifth brother greets eldest brother, fourth brother." Xiao Minshen greeted.

Nanny Shen personally invited the Crown Princess, the Fourth Royal Consort, and Princess Anyang to the backyard.

Anyang looked at Prince Qi's mansion with arrogance. She felt bored in the palace, so she went out of the palace specifically to relax.

She didn't want to come to today's banquet, but the Fourth Prince forced her to come.

It's rare for the King of Qi to invite guests back, so why not join in the fun?

Lively? Anyang agreed as soon as he thought of Ning Ruyan.

"Your princess is so arrogant that she only arranged for an old maid like you to come and greet her?"

Anyang glanced at Nanny Shen, and Nanny Shen smiled awkwardly.

"To answer your question, Princess. Isn't my master still under house arrest? Please bear with me, Princess."

Anyang turned his head to the side and snorted.

She saw the flowers in the flowerbed and asked, "What kind of flowers are these? They are really beautiful at this time of year."

As she spoke, she reached out and picked a few bright red flowers and played with them in her hands.

"I don't know what it's called either. If the princess likes it, I'll have someone send a few to the princess's palace."

"This princess is still short of one or two flowers from you. They just look festive." Anyang curled her lips and threw the flowers to the ground.

The Crown Princess and the Fourth Royal Consort walked together, pretending not to hear anything, and admired the scenery in the garden.

In Qixia Garden, both sides of the entrance are filled with flowers that are blooming in greenhouses.

Smokeless charcoal is placed in all four corners of the room, making the room as warm as spring.

As soon as people walked in, they suddenly forgot the season and thought it was spring with flowers in full bloom.

Ning Ruyan really put a lot of effort into preparing for this banquet.

Today, Ning Ruyan was wearing a bright red jacket and skirt with gold-woven phoenix flowers, a high bun, and a gilded phoenix hairpin.

As soon as Ning Ruyan saw the Crown Princess and her entourage, she bowed.

"Ruyan greets the Crown Princess, the Fourth Imperial Consort, and Princess Anyang. Please forgive me for not being able to greet you in person."

"I understand. You have been confined by our father. We can tolerate this."

As soon as Anyang opened his mouth, he saw Ning Ruyan's smile frozen on her face as he wished.

The Crown Princess looked at Princess Anyang helplessly, then stepped forward and held Ning Ruyan's hand.

"I heard that you prepared the best Longjing tea. I want to taste it today."

Ning Ruyan gritted her teeth, put on a smile and led the few people to the flower hall.

After a while, Ning Ruyan heard the maid say that the banquet in the outer courtyard had already started, and she hurriedly asked everyone to take their seats.

After Shen Yunjin sat down, he discovered that the person next to him was Princess Anyang.

She couldn't help but look at Ning Ruyan, who was talking to the Crown Princess and smiling happily with her hand covering her mouth.

"No need to look. This princess doesn't want to stay next to her." Anyang played with the wine glass in his hand.

Because the table was full of female relatives, there was low-alcohol fruit wine on the table, which was sweet and fragrant.

"Princess, you have helped me out twice. I am offering this glass of wine to thank you for your help!"

Shen Yunjin raised the fruit wine in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Princess Anyang glanced at her and ignored her.

In her eyes, Shen Yunjin was just a concubine and not worthy of her raising a toast.

Shen Yunjin didn't care. Princess Anyang was a favored girl, so it was normal for her to be arrogant.

Shen Yunjin's belly was already four months pregnant, and she had just drunk a bellyful of water, so she excused herself and got up to change her clothes.

At this time, the maids began to serve a dish, grilled lamb ribs.
