Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child: Chapter 290 pay a New Year call
Chapter 290 New Year's Eve
Yu Weiwei immediately asked back.
"Am I not usually pretty?"
Xiao Juan is helpless: "You know I don't mean that."
She is naturally beautiful in normal times, but because of her young age, she always gives people the feeling of a sister next door, cute, lively, and likable.
But she is very different today.
She was wearing a grand princess dress, with delicate and bright makeup on her face, her childishness disappeared all of a sudden, like a blooming rich peony, she became radiant, and she could firmly catch a man's gaze with just one glance.
Yu Shui smiled, her red lips curved into a beautiful arc.
"You are beautiful today too."
She was not being polite.
Today's Xiao Juan is indeed exceptionally good-looking.
He always likes to wear dark clothes on weekdays. He wears black almost every day. Although he is quite handsome, his handsomeness has a strong evil spirit, which makes people daunting and afraid to watch more.
Besides the wedding day, today was the only time Yu Cuiwei saw him wearing red clothes.
Unlike the bright red wedding dress, the crimson Mianfu is more solemn, with his unsmiling, cold and handsome face, like an aloof god, people can't help but want to surrender at his feet.
Xiao Juan reminded: "Pretty is not used to describe a man."
Yu Linggui: "Who said that? In my opinion, as long as it is beautiful, it can be described as beautiful."
Xiao Juan had no choice but to let her talk nonsense.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.
Xiao Lian helped Yu Weiwei get off the carriage.
A lot of carriages have been parked at the entrance of the palace, all of them are royal relatives who are going to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings.
Originally, they were chatting in groups of three or five to greet the New Year, and the atmosphere was very lively, but at the moment when Prince Lang and his wife appeared, everyone seemed to be strangled by the neck, and instantly fell silent.
The scene suddenly became silent.
Xiao Juan was not surprised by this.
He estimated that the time was almost up, and walked straight ahead with the curls, not even giving others a single extra look.
When they reached the gate of the palace, Xiao Yan asked the guards guarding the gate.
"Can you enter the palace now?"
The Praetorian Guards hurriedly said: "Okay, please come in."
Xiao Lian led Yu Wai and walked into the palace. As he walked past the gate of the palace, Xiao Lian deliberately stretched out his hand to support her waist to prevent her from falling.
The gate of the palace is very high, and Yu Cuiwei needs to raise her legs very high to get past it.
It was fine on weekdays, but today the skirt she was wearing was too heavy and she couldn't bow her head. This movement was quite difficult for her.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan supported her and helped her maintain her balance.
The two passed the palace gate smoothly.
The sedan chair was already ready in the palace.
Xiao Juan doesn't like to sit in a sedan chair on weekdays, but today is different. He can't let curling curl wear a dress to walk with him for such a long distance, so he made an exception today and got into the sedan chair with curling curl.
The sedan chair stopped outside the Zhengde Hall.
The other royal family members also came here one after another.
When everyone arrived, the entire Zhengde Hall was already full, and some of the royal family members who were not valued very much could only stand outside the Zhengde Hall.
After the old emperor appeared, everyone knelt down and greeted him, wishing the emperor a healthy Chinese New Year.
After that, everyone has to kneel all the time and listen to the old emperor's outlook for the new year and his expectations for you.
The lines have been prepared long ago, and there are a lot of them.
He spoke for half an hour before it was over.
Yu Wai Wai knelt so much that her knees were almost numb.
It was not until the emperor finished his speech that she could finally stand up.
She finally understood why Xiaoyanzi wanted to "kneel easily", and later she also wanted to make herself "easy to kneel" to prevent arthritis from kneeling at a young age.
Next, men and women are to be separated.
The men will stay here to accompany the old emperor, while the female relatives will go to Fengyi Palace to meet the queen, and then accompany the queen to Biquan Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the queen mother.
Yu Weiwei and other female relatives left Zhengde Hall and took a sedan chair to Fengyi Palace.
Fengyi Palace is the residence of Empress Wen.
Because Empress Wen was in poor health and was bedridden all the year round, everything in the harem was always handled by Concubine Shu and the four concubines who were virtuous and Shude.
Therefore, Queen Wen's presence in the palace is very low, and Yu Weiwei rarely hears her mentioned.
If it wasn't for this time she was going to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the queen, she wouldn't even know that there was another queen Wen in the Dayan Dynasty.
This also illustrates one thing from the side-
Queen Wen was not favored.
When Yu Weiwei walked into Fengyi Palace and saw the old clothes on the palace staff, as well as the palace that had not been repaired for many years, she was even more convinced of this.
She didn't understand, as the rightful mistress in the palace, why did Queen Wen get along so badly?
Under the guidance of the palace servants, the female relatives entered the main hall.
Soon the concubines in the palace also came to Fengyi Palace one after another.
In the end, only one concubine Shu Gui was left who did not appear.
Yu Weiwei found that everyone was not surprised by this, and no one thought that there was anything wrong with Concubine Shu.
The female relatives were seated according to their status, and some of the lower status could only stand behind.
Yu Weiwei sat in the middle.
She was very satisfied with the position, which was not too prominent and could sit comfortably.
The female relatives knew each other, they gathered together to talk in a low voice, the concubines were also chatting in groups of three or five, and only Yu Weiwei was on the scene.
No one wants to talk to her.
It's not that she is too cold, but that everyone else is avoiding her on purpose.
As long as her eyes look over, those people will immediately avoid it, like avoiding the **** of plague.
Yu Weiwei knew in her heart that everyone was afraid of her because of her relationship with Prince Lang.
At this moment, she felt Xiao Yan's feelings firsthand.
On weekdays, he should be excluded like this in the courtroom, right?
After a while, the palace maid came out with the help of Empress Wen.
Empress Wen is forty this year, her face is pale, and she is so thin that it seems as if a gust of wind can blow her away.
The grand queen dress looked empty on her body.
Even with makeup on her face, she still couldn't cover up the dull sickness on her body.
It is hard to imagine that such a sick woman is actually the queen of the Dayan Dynasty.
Yu Weiwei knelt down and salutes with the others.
"Meet the Empress, and wish the Empress a healthy Chinese New Year."
Queen Wen: "It's all my own family, don't be too polite, just sit down and talk."
Her voice, like hers, was weak.
If you stand farther away, you may not be able to hear what she said.
When everyone was seated, Concubine Shu was long overdue.
Today, she is dressed more solemnly than usual. The dongzhu on the golden hairpin comes from the South China Sea as a tribute, and the skirt is made of rare and high-quality Yunhua satin with lifelike peacocks embroidered on it.
I don’t know if it’s because of the embroiderers or the light of the light, but the peacock on the skirt looks a bit like a phoenix at first glance.
Concubine Shu blessed her body towards Empress Wen, and her movements were lazily, revealing a sense of indifference.
"My sister is late, and I hope the queen and sister don't blame her."
