Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 156 Holy Chapter

Suddenly, the autumn wind blew up the golden leaves, and the October Festival was approaching.

On every emperor's holy day, officials would have a three-day holiday to go home and rest.

As night fell, lanterns were lit up inside the palace, and colorful lanterns were hung on the streets and in front of the government offices in the capital. The entire palace and even the entire capital were brightly lit.

Qin Zhi issued an edict to lift the curfew on the day of the Holy Day. People washed their hair, put on their best clothes, and went out to have fun on the streets. The streets were bustling with people, creating a prosperous scene.

Inside the palace, dancers were dancing on the stage to the melodious music, while people were toasting each other below the stage.

Qin Zhi suddenly clapped his hands, the music stopped instantly, and the dancers walked off the stage one after another.

The atmosphere stagnated, and everyone's hands that were raising their glasses stopped in the air. They glanced around and then quietly retracted their eyes.

Qin Zhi waved to Zhang Deli and asked him to read the imperial edict that named the fifth prince.

Upon hearing that the name was given to the Fifth Prince, the people outside the court breathed a sigh of relief and started congratulating him again.

Every action of the emperor could be interpreted in a myriad of ways, let alone naming a prince on Saint's Day.

Although the Fifth Prince is the youngest son, the Queen has no legitimate son, so it is hard to say.

A court official who had no daughter secretly glanced at Fu Buyi, who looked very happy, and then looked at Shen Siheng, who looked calm and composed.

Who knows whether His Majesty is trying to build momentum for the Fifth Prince? However, without receiving any clear signal, it is better to remain still than to move.

After all, Your Majesty has a strong personality. To put it nicely, you are autocratic, but to put it bluntly, you are stubborn and self-willed. If Your Majesty does not say it clearly about the matter of appointing a crown prince, then it cannot be mentioned.

The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang.

"Zhang" is one of the six ritual vessels for sacrifice. The Cangbi is for worshiping the sky, the Huangcong is for worshiping the earth, the Qinggui is for worshiping the east, the Chizhang is for worshiping the south, the Baihu is for worshiping the west, and the Xuanhuang is for worshiping the north.

The Da Zhang, Zhong Zhang and Bian Zhang were instruments used by the emperor to worship mountains and rivers during his patrols. The Ya Zhang was used to mobilize the army and as military tokens.

I wonder what your majesty means?

The Fifth Prince's mother, Concubine Zhi Fu, is the daughter of General Yunhui Fu Buyi, so she can be considered a descendant of a military family. Could it be that Your Majesty hopes that the Fifth Prince will join the military when he grows up? Become a great general?

"Zhang Deli, go and bring Mingzhang over." Qin Zhi put down his wine cup and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Deli was a little worried. After all, the fifth prince was still young. If he started crying, it would spoil His Majesty's mood and disturb the atmosphere of this festive occasion.

Zhang Deli's worry did not last long, as he had already seen that the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang was drowsy in the arms of the palace maid.

He carefully took the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang from Meihua's hands and walked towards the throne with steady steps.

He gently handed the fifth prince to Qin Zhi.

Everyone at the banquet had different expressions.

Fu Mengli and her group of masters and servants were both happy and worried.

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu looked at it eagerly, then looked up and turned to his mother Shi Qingzhang, who shook her head at him.

Li Xihua felt helpless as he looked at the third prince Qin Mingjin who was working hard.

The fourth prince Qin Mingyun was held in Meng Xinghe's arms.

Meng Xinghe whispered, "Eat your food carefully and don't be naughty. Look how delicious your third brother is eating."

Li Xihua and Jiang Lanzhi have been released from house arrest. The only concubine absent from today's Holy Day is Concubine Zhen, Lu Xinyin.

Relying on modern technology and ideas, she became the Lady of Yi State. Lu Liniang looked left and right, but couldn't find Lu Xiyin, so she asked bluntly:

"Why isn't my sister Zhenfei here?" The wife of Marquis Cheng'en wasn't there either.

After Lu Liniang was named Lady of Yi State, she also owned her own mansion, which was granted by the emperor. She felt that she no longer needed to rely on the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion. Even Lu Xinyin's position as a concubine was due to her, so she was very proud of it.

She had just returned from the grassland. She had just set out from the grassland on the Empress Dowager's birthday in September and was on her way back to Beijing. She only presented the gifts she had prepared in advance to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.

After returning to Beijing, she did not go to the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion. After lying in bed for two days, the emperor's birthday came, and she went to the palace alone to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's cousin.

Not only was the information blocked, but he also asked directly and rashly.

Qin Zhi pulled Queen Shen Ningyue to tease the sleepy Fifth Prince Qin Mingzhang as if no one was around.

He picked up Qin Mingzhang and put him into Shen Ningyue's arms. He first poked Qin Mingzhang's soft face, then pried open Qin Mingzhang's eyelids with his hands. When Qin Mingzhang opened his mouth to cry, Qin Zhi quickly let go of the hands that were holding up Qin Mingzhang's eyelids, and pinched Qin Mingzhang's upper and lower lips to stop him from crying.

Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue could not understand Qin Zhi's sinister and childish behavior. She stretched her neck and shouted for her father and mother. She also pulled hard at the palace servant who was holding her, and stretched her body to lean towards her father and mother.

"Your Majesty!" Shen Ningyue said angrily.

She raised her hand to stop Qin Zhi from doing any more mischief, and hugged Qin Mingzhang, rocking him gently to coax him, but when she saw that she could no longer coax him, she realized that she had lost her temper.

"Come here quickly, sister Zhipin. I'm returning your son to you. His Majesty made him cry because of him." Shen Ningyue said softly.

On the other side, the Queen Mother replied: "The pregnancy of Concubine Zhen is not in good condition. She is in the process of recuperating and cannot move around easily, so it is not easy for her to come out."

Qin Zhi did not slap the empress dowager in the face and expose her words in public. He did not issue an edict to convict Lu Xinyin. The rumors that Concubine Zhen moved to Chongde Hall to facilitate her pregnancy were all spread by the empress dowager. Qin Zhi did not care and did not intervene. It was not a big deal.

When the queen stood up to lead the concubines to toast the empress dowager to express gratitude for giving birth to her, her eyes went dark, she felt dizzy, and her body went limp and fell on Qin Zhi.

Under the warm candlelight, Qin Zhi did not notice the pale complexion beneath Shen Ningyue's lips painted with red lip balm. Qin Zhi embraced the unconscious Shen Ningyue, lifted Shen Ningyue's hand and held it in his palm, only then he noticed the cold sweat on her palm.

Qin Zhi said coldly: "Call the imperial physician."

There was an imperial physician on standby at the dinner. Upon hearing the palace servant's call, he picked up his medical box and was carried in front of the emperor and empress by the guards without even touching the ground.

Shen Ningyue was only dizzy for a moment, but she did not completely lose consciousness. She leaned against Qin Zhi's chest and said in an inaudible voice:

"Your Majesty, I am just a little tired. I am sorry to have caused Your Majesty's worry."

"Shut up and take a rest."

The palace maid Xiaoji took out a handkerchief and placed it on Shen Ningyue's outstretched wrist, looking at the imperial physician anxiously.

The imperial physician placed his hand on Shen Ningyue's pulse, pondered for a moment, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

It's not a disease, but a happy event, that's great.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations to the Queen. Double happiness. The Queen has been pregnant for more than two months."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty." All the ministers and ladies at the banquet congratulated in unison.

I had thought that the people His Majesty was most proud of on this year's Holy Day were Concubine Zhi and the Fifth Prince, but I never expected that the Queen suddenly announced that she was pregnant.

"Why would someone faint when they are so happy? Is the queen in good health?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen is overworked. She must not work any more during her pregnancy."

Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Double Ninth Festival and the Empress Dowager's Saint's Day in September, and His Majesty's Saint's Day in October. It would be strange if she wasn't tired. The Empress's physical condition is already very good. It would be strange if she didn't feel dizzy, the imperial physician complained in his heart.

Qin Zhi picked up Shen Ningyue and carried her sideways.

"My dear ministers, please continue to enjoy the music. I will leave now. I will leave the ladies here to my mother and the imperial concubine."

"Farewell to Your Majesty."
