The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

When the people present saw the emperor rewarding the marquis's daughter in such a grand manner, they all had some vague guesses in their hearts. Then they saw that the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei was already of marriageable age.

Could it be that the Emperor intends to grant marriages to several princes? ? But which prince will he grant marriage to? ?

The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince probably guessed their father's intention. Although Song Qianning seldom appeared in important occasions, everyone could see how much the Marquis of Zhenbei doted on his daughter.

The Queen Mother intended to make Princess Changle of Prince Huai his Crown Princess. The Crown Prince felt that if his father really wanted to marry the daughter of Marquis Zhenbei to him, it would not be impossible. It would be even more perfect if Princess Changle could be the Crown Princess and the daughter of Marquis Zhenbei could be the concubine.

As soon as the Third Prince saw the Crown Prince's expression, he guessed that he also wanted this marriage, and he sneered in his heart. This Crown Prince of his really accepted everyone who came to him. First there was Princess Changle, then there was the daughter of the Minister of War, Liu Yujiao, and now he even wanted to marry the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Wasn't he afraid of choking to death from eating too much?

But the emperor's uncle is right. Marrying the daughter of Marquis Zhenbei is the best choice. It will only benefit him in his efforts to fight for that position in the future.

Judging from the current situation, the second elder brother and the two younger brothers are likely to compete with him. If they get the support of Marquis Zhenbei, his situation will only become more difficult. Therefore, he cannot let Marquis Zhenbei's daughter marry other princes under any circumstances.

It seems that he needs to plan carefully. As long as Song Qianning loses her virginity to him as the emperor's uncle said, she will have no choice but to marry him.

The Fifth Prince also wanted his father to arrange a marriage for him. Although he still liked Huai Wang's concubine's daughter Xiao Noning more than Song Qianning, her whereabouts were unknown and there were rumors rife in the capital. Even if she was found, how could he, a dignified prince, marry a concubine's daughter with a tarnished reputation?

Even if she was given the title of concubine, she would be ridiculed, let alone the title of imperial concubine. Now it seems that I have no choice but to give up on her. It's a pity to lose such a beautiful woman.

Just when the three of them were thinking about their own things, the second prince Murong Jingsheng and the fourth prince Murong Jingchu arrived late. They walked straight to the emperor and saluted him.

When the emperor saw that everyone was present, he said, "Since everyone is here, let's go to the banquet together!"

Concubine Chen met her son's eyes. She knew that this was the critical moment to capture the mistress, and she wondered if there were any loopholes in the arrangements made by her father and the prince.

Although I was extremely worried and anxious, I could only try my best to suppress it and pretend that nothing had happened.

Murong Jingchu met his mother's inquiring eyes and knew what she was worried about. He just smiled and said to her: "Don't worry..."

After hearing this, Concubine Chen became even more nervous and frightened, but she couldn't say anything. She could only return to the banquet with the emperor.

Everyone followed the emperor back to the banquet. At this time, the queen came with Princess Zhaoyang. After the queen was helped to sit down by the nanny, the emperor asked in confusion: "Is the queen feeling better? Why don't you take a good rest?"

The emperor's seemingly caring words slapped the queen in the face. Originally, the Hairpin Flower Banquet was supposed to be hosted by the queen, but ten days ago, the queen caught a cold and was bedridden. She was unable to take care of these trivial matters, so she handed the preparations for the Hairpin Flower Banquet to Concubine Chen.

The emperor did not expect the queen to come over, so he asked out of curiosity.

Princess Zhaoyang quickly answered for her mother: "Father, I felt that she was not as sleepy as in the past few days. I thought that today was a rare flower viewing banquet, so I took her out to get some fresh air, so I dragged her here."

"I see, my prince is thoughtful. Now that everyone is here, let's start the feast!"

The emperor did not take it seriously. After announcing the start of the banquet, he raised his glass. Everyone stood up and toasted back. The emperor turned around and raised his glass to Concubine Chen on his left. Concubine Chen smiled and toasted back to the emperor. The two looked at each other affectionately and drank the wine in the glass together.

The ignored queen could only force herself to maintain a decent smile, but in fact she felt extremely jealous. She had had enough of the bitch Concubine Chen showing off her affection in front of her time and time again for so many years.

Soon, she and her son would be together in hell. The queen's smile grew brighter as she thought of this.

Song Qianning looked at the queen's sickly appearance and thought that the queen was really willing to spend a lot of money.

[This queen has gone to great lengths to take the lives of Concubine Chen and her son! She has been attacked so badly, but she still insists on giving Concubine Chen the Red Blood Gu. The Red Blood Gu feeds on blood. Concubine Chen's physical weakness has always been mistakenly believed to be due to her physical deficiency when she gave birth to the Fourth Prince. Who would have thought that she was poisoned by the Gu? The queen is also a ruthless person. When Qi gave Concubine Chen the Red Moon Gu, Concubine Chen would have died suddenly two years ago, but the queen insisted that Concubine Chen die after the Fourth Prince, so that Concubine Chen died in agony. So in order to prolong Concubine Chen's life, she did not hesitate to use her heart blood as a medicine to feed the Red Moon Gu every three months, which allowed Concubine Chen to live in peace until now. The queen fell ill this time because she caught a cold after taking her heart blood.]

Song Qianning, who was sitting in the women's seat, watched the dancers dancing while constantly recalling the scenes in her memory.

I didn't even notice that those who knew the secret felt a chill down their spines...

Song Boyan——My little ancestor! Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? I don’t know whether the secret guards sent out killed Qi.

Song Chengyan——The Queen is so vicious!!!

Song Chengzhou - Could it be that the Queen had put a curse on Concubine Chen, and the Imperial Hospital couldn't diagnose and cure her? ? A bunch of rubbish.

Song Chengyi - If we can catch Qi, my aunt will be saved.

Song Qianxue——The plotting in the palace is really scary.

Jiang - my sister and nephew have suffered over the years...

Old Madam - Fortunately, the Fourth Prince could hear it, otherwise we wouldn’t know how to remind Concubine Chen.

Different from the shocked mood of the Song family, Murong Jingchu was extremely angry. The vicious queen was not satisfied with plotting against him, but she even spared her mother.

The wine glass in Concubine Chen's hand fell. Was that? ? ? The voice of the third daughter of the Song family? ? ? It turned out that what the emperor said about being able to hear her inner voice was true.

Then what she just said about the Queen poisoning her with red blood was also true? ? No wonder she had been in a bad mood since she gave birth to her first child. She had been taking care of herself for so many years but it didn't get better. She thought it was the root of the disease she had contracted at that time. It turned out to be like this...

Before Concubine Chen could think about it, the voice came again.

[It is also God’s will. The Fourth Prince was poisoned by the Gu because it was treated by Doctor Xu throughout the whole process, and the Gu was suppressed and dormant, making it difficult to diagnose. In addition, the Queen covered up everything, so it was kept secret for more than ten years. However, the case of Imperial Concubine Chen was really God’s will. It is obvious that even if another Imperial Doctor could not cure the disease, at least he could detect that something was wrong. Unfortunately, Imperial Concubine Chen believed in Doctor Xu’s medical skills because he could save the Fourth Prince every time he fell ill. Therefore, Imperial Concubine Chen has designated Doctor Xu to check her pulse for safety over the years, but Doctor Xu is the Queen’s man! ! ]

At this moment, the Fourth Prince only wanted to peel off the skin of Doctor Xu, but that was not enough. It would be better to chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs. Only then could he relieve his hatred.

No! Tomorrow he must go see the Gu doctor himself. She is Qi's senior sister, and her Gu skills are better than Qi's. She must have a way to cure his mother.

Before the Fourth Prince could recover from the shock, the voice suddenly came, with a slightly frightened tone...
