The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 83: Queen's Crisis

The New Year's Eve banquet was so popular that the palace maid was pregnant, and everyone at the back banquet didn't even bother to watch it.

After Xiao Qi was consciously slapped in the face, he didn't look good for the second half of the night. She has been in the harem for more than ten years, and she has forgotten the feeling of being dominated and coerced by others. What's more, these dog minions are playing tricks on her deliberately today. If the concubine becomes pregnant and becomes pregnant, it should be the first to report to her as the queen of the palace, and then it is reported that the emperor is still planning to locate her, and Xiaoqi should make arrangements later. However, they deliberately stabbed them out in front of the harem and the emperor. What do they mean? Can she still harm this low-handed maid?

After Xiao Qi, he was almost furious.

At the New Year’s Eve banquet, a palace official diagnosed a pregnancy. Several foreign ministers were extremely happy. They all knelt down and shouted "Double Happiness, Congratulations to the Holy One". The courtier thought it was a good thing, but the concubine might not. The concubines in the harem were all scornful, and Li Fei was even more anxious and angry, and she barely endured seeing the crowds. When Concubine Hui knew that the pregnant woman was the little maid in her palace, she couldn't sit still.

Contrary to the concubines who do not know how to eat, Chu Jinyao is in good spirits. After Xiao Qi teased her for so long, Chu Jinyao couldn't mention how happy Chu Jinyao was when he could see Xiao Qi's anger but not aggrieved expression. Of course, she wouldn't let her excitement show through.

The second half of the family banquet passed. As soon as the time of the New Year came, firecrackers immediately sounded outside the Qianqing Palace, and brilliant fireworks flew into the sky one by one, exploding colorful streamers in the night sky. The emperor was in good spirits and took everyone outside to watch the fireworks. In order to please the emperor, the **** moved a frame of firecrackers to the front of the hall and crackled the cannons. The female relatives also came out of the hall, but they all stood in the white marble railing, watching from a distance with restraint. It was the first time for Chu Jinyao to see such a multitude of gorgeous fireworks. Every time one sounded, she would make a "wow" in her heart.

Chu Jinyao deeply felt that she was just a bun, but there were so many female relatives standing outside the temple, I am afraid she was the only one who wanted to watch the fireworks. After Xiao Qi stood outside for a while, seeing that the meaning had arrived, he took the initiative to say: "The wind and cold is deep in the night, my palace is tired, so let's go first."

All the concubines hurried over to greet them, and most of the concubines left after Xiao Qi. Because Chu Jinyao had to wait for Qin Yi, naturally he waited at the end. The fireworks in the sky exploded for a while, and Chu Jinyao held the stove in both hands, looking up at the sky intently. The crackling firecrackers concealed other sounds. When Chu Jinyao reacted, she found that her shoulder was heavy. Qin Yi was frowning slightly and slapped the broken snow on her shoulder.

"Have you been standing outside?"

"Ok."

"Why don't you go back first?" Qin Yi asked.

"Waiting for you." Chu Jinyao reached out and probed Qin Yi's hand. Fortunately, it was warm.

Chu Jinyao's "Waiting for you" was completely natural and straightforward, and Qin Yi couldn't answer for a while. He wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh: "It's already time, and it's so cold outside. Just go back first. Why stand here."

"It's so dark. Of course, I have to wait for your Highness to go back together. Besides, I'm not waiting..." Before the words were finished, a very big and bright firework suddenly exploded in the night sky, and Chu Jinyao's face was also affected. Fireworks light up. Her eyes were full of surprise, and she immediately reached out and pointed out: "His Royal Highness, look!"

Qin Yi let out a "um" and stretched out his hand to tighten the cloak tightly for Chu Jinyao. The beautiful fireworks were fleeting, Chu Jinyao turned her head and looked at Qin Yi dissatisfiedly: "You didn't even watch it!"

"I saw."

Chu Jinyao raised her head and glared at him, obviously feeling that this person was playing her perfunctory again. Chu Jinyao dressed up today, with a painted face clustered in the furry cloak collar. He raised his eyes and stared, his eyes flowed, charming, not like anger, but like acting like a baby.

Qin Yi wanted to squeeze her face again, thinking that this was outside, and finally held it back. The two of them walked side by side and walked down the finely carved white marble fence to Ciqing Palace.

In fact, Qin Yi didn't fool Chu Jinyao. He did see the fireworks in Chu Jinyao's eyes.

The fireworks that exploded suddenly reflected in her eyes, as if they were deliberately slowed down, and they were so bright. No matter how brilliant the fireworks were, they were eclipsed in front of her eyes.

Chu Jinyao and Qin Yi both stepped out, but today they didn't want to mention it. The two of them walked side by side in the Forbidden City, which was parting the old and welcoming the new. The night was astonishingly dark, and the cold wind still smelled of sulfur that was unique to the New Year. The dark palace seemed to be a lurking night beast. Chu Jinyao must be scared to death when replaced with a weekday, but for some reason today, she felt very relieved.

The eunuchs and palace ladies followed far behind, keeping a distance where they could see but could not hear what the master said. Chu Jinyao lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi quietly, "His Royal Highness, is it you today?"

Qin Yi smiled softly: "What?"

"What are you talking about! You know it."

"What if I don't know?"

Chu Jinyao stared at him angrily, Qin Yi pulled Chu Jinyao to his side, blocking the night wind behind him: "The wind is strong, come closer."

After being quiet for a while, Chu Jinyao asked in a low voice, "You should have arranged the imperial doctor today?"

According to the imperial doctor, he was sorting the medicine box in the palace, and suddenly heard that someone in the palace had fainted. Then he ventured to check the situation and unexpectedly discovered that the palace lady who had fainted was pregnant. He didn't dare to decide, so he reported it to the emperor.

This sounds okay. The emperor sets a family banquet, just in case, always prepare one or two imperial doctors in the side hall. The imperial doctor said that he only went to the doctor when he heard the voice. It was reasonable. After all, except for this occasion, the concubines below concubines were not allowed to call the imperial doctor even if they were sick, let alone the maids. The maid who had been in bed was found pregnant as a result, and it made sense logically.

However, it seems strange because it makes sense everywhere. All this is a coincidence. In addition, Chu Jinyao just said this to Qin Yi a few days ago. Although there is no evidence, Chu Jinyao is intuitive. This is Qin Yi's arrangement.

Qin Yi's silence is equivalent to acquiescence. Chu Jinyao confirmed the speculation in her heart. Thinking of the face of Empress Xiao Qi at the time, she couldn't help but chuckle and laughed out: "What you did today is so amazing. You didn't see the face of the empress at that time. He has a long face, and looks angry and uneasy."

In fact, it's no wonder that Empress Xiao Qi had a black face on the spot. The outer hall first touted Empress Qi, and when Empress Qi fluttered, suddenly a big hat was snapped off. Who could bear this kind of gap. The Empress Xiaoqi just said that he was observant of the virtues of the queen, and then an imperial doctor knelt down and said that the imperial concubine was pregnant. In this way, it seemed that the empress Qi was arrogant and jealous, and could not tolerate the harem concubine to have children same.

Although in fact, it may really be the case. Not only Chu Jinyao has this kind of speculation, I am afraid that Concubine Shu and Lifei also have more or less doubts. It's just that there was no evidence in the past, and due to Xiaoqi's momentum, no one dared to put it on the table.

Qin Yi's grasp of people's hearts and timing is truly ruthless. In the harem for more than ten years, there has been no new-born child. Not only the harem, but also the former dynasty also have vague suspicions. Did the queen do any tricks? Because it was too strange and too obvious, since Qi was in the palace since childhood, no one else could give birth to children except herself. But this kind of thought is just to think about it, because this kind of thing is not easy to mention, what if it is the emperor's problem?

It's all right now, a palace lady who silently inherited her favor is pregnant. While rectifying the emperor's name, it also confirms a certain dark speculation in everyone's hearts. At this time, Qin Yi stabbed the palace maid in front of everyone in this way. He didn't mention a word, but everyone was walking in the direction he wanted. And then Xiao Qi's reaction seemed to confirm the feelings of anger and frustration.

Master playing with people's hearts.

Chu Jinyao was full of emotion. She remembered that a long time ago, Qin Yi taught her to balance allies and cross the river to demolish the bridge. At that time, Chu Jinyao was worried that Qin Yi would give her such a hand. Qin Yi just laughed disdainfully when she heard it. Chu Jinyao was not convinced at the time, but now she admits that Qin Yi is indeed qualified to be arrogant.

Chu Jinyao said sincerely: "His Royal Highness, fortunately I am your wife, not your enemy."

After Qin Yi heard it, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hug Chu Jinyao: "Yes, fortunately."

Chu Jinyao almost married into the palace of Huailing County and almost became his courtier's wife.

"His Royal Highness, what will the court lady do?"

Qin Yi lowered his head as if feeling feeling: "Are you worried about her?"

"It's not..." Chu Jinyao struggled for a while, and finally admitted helplessly, "Well, it is. I have seen her, she is very pitiful, timid and cautious. It is not easy for a maid to make money in the palace. After being favored by the emperor, she has no status and will continue to work as a maid. One can imagine what life she is living. She is pregnant with a baby, whether it is a blessing or a curse, but she guards it carefully, preferring herself Because of this, I don’t want to kill the child. The mother's heart is always so compassionate. She was discovered because of me. I..."

Qin Yi is accustomed to using everything that can be used, and this palace lady is nothing but a **** to push the situation. He didn't expect that Chu Jinyao thought so much in his heart. If this palace lady suffers in the end, I am afraid that Chu Jinyao will be very guilty.

According to Qin Yi's original plan, the life and death of this palace lady has nothing to do with him. According to Xiao Qi's jealous and excluding dissidents, this palace lady became pregnant under Xiao Qi's eyelids and secretly hid it for so long. Most of his life will not be good. But if Chu Jinyao feels bad...

Qin Yi said without changing his face, "Don't worry, she is the only one to get pregnant again after ten years. Because of this difficulty, her position will not be low. There will be many people helping her to protect her. If you can’t keep the fetus in this way, it means that she has lost her life and has nothing to do with you. She will be exposed sooner or later, so that she can be exposed at a suitable time and get a good position. You have done your best."

As for how this palace lady gets a good position, let's quietly operate one or two.

Chu Jinyao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that the ladies of the court canonized the position. Life is his own. Chu Jinyao is not obligated to help the palace maid to take care of the baby. Whether he can give birth to the child safely, it depends on the maid herself. Chu Jinyao thought a lot, and she asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, am I very kind, and a woman's kind?"

"No." Qin Yi said, "If you are cruel and can see others being indifferent because of your own risk, then it's not you."

The first thing that impressed Qin Yi was that warm and optimistic Chu Jinyao, who was clearly embarrassed on all sides, but was serious about planning for others.

Chu Jinyao stretched out her hand to hug Qin Yi, and suddenly said, "His Royal Highness, have I ever told you that meeting you is probably the luckiest thing in my life."

Qin Yi paused for a while, sighed halfway, and asked, "Did you have a drink today?"

Chu Jinyao blinked in confusion, "Why do you ask?"

Qin Yi looked down at Chu Jinyao's eyes, and they were a little abnormally bright as expected. Qin Yi didn't know whether to sigh or laugh, and clicked on Chu Jinyao's head: "It's fascinating and staring."

At the same cut, Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao walked for a long time before reaching Ciqing Palace. The Ciqing Palace also hung high lanterns. As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw the palace maids and eunuchs standing in the courtyard. Under the leadership of Ziyan, they happily congratulated them on the new year: "Congratulations His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, and the Princess is very lucky."

The most important thing in the new year is the good luck. It is obviously happy to hear the auspicious words when you come back. Qin Yi nodded in a good mood and said, "Reward."

Xiao Linzi followed Qin Yi and responded with delight after hearing this. Zi Yan and the others are so precise in their time, it is obvious that Xiao Linzi's "credit" is indispensable. But Qin Yi didn't care about these monkeys for the New Year's Day.

Chu Jinyao heard this, and looked up at Qin Yi with a smile: "His Royal Highness, there is money for the New Year, what about me?"

Qin Yi pays great attention to majesty in front of his servants, and does everything in a light and indifferent manner. After listening to Chu Jinyao's words this time, Qin Yi didn't stop smiling. He glanced at Chu Jinyao and his voice was full of smiles: "You too."

Xiao Linzi followed, as if she had followed a fake prince. The prince is too easy to talk in front of the prince?

Linglong brought people in the house to bow to Chu Jinyao for New Year's greetings. With Qin Yi Zhuyu in front, the princess Chu Jinyao was not too stingy, so naturally she generously rewarded the palace people with money. The people in Ciqing Palace received two rewards, and each walked in a breeze, smiling from ear to ear. After receiving the reward, Linglong didn't dare to delay Chu Jinyao with witty words, and quickly waited for Chu Jinyao to remove her makeup and rest. The morning dynasty stopped on the first day of the first lunar month, but there was a grand celebration of the Yuan and Japanese dynasties. As the princess, Chu Jinyao also had to attend.

Chu Jinyao understood the depth and went to bed quickly after freshening up. After the tent was closed, Chu Jinyao quietly pulled Qin Yi's hand: "Your Highness."

"what happened?"

"You must call me when you wake up tomorrow!"

Qin Yi was angry and laughed: "What you said, can I still ignore you and steal it myself?"

"Why do I think about the Glory and Righteous Crown Prince like this!" Chu Jinyao hugged Qin Yi's arm shamelessly, "His Royal Highness, let's talk about it then?"

The bed clothes were thin, and Chu Jinyao hugged him like this, and Qin Yi inevitably felt some soft touch. Qin Yi's eyes changed, and his words threatened: "Sleep well."

"No!"

"You really don't want to sleep anymore."

"No... hey, your highness!"

...

Just after the fourth clock, Chu Jinyao was dug up to dress and change clothes. She killed herself last night and went to bed very late. However, she was called up to change Zhai's clothes today before dawn, and her eyes were really flowery.

Chu Jinyao dizzyly changed the heavy prince concubine Zhai Yi, wearing a heavy phoenix crown, Chu Jinyao was already lacking sleep, and now his head tingled more and more. But she knew that today was a big day and she must not lose her temper, so she pinched the palm of her hand with her nails to force herself to wake up.

When she arrived at Chaohe's place today, she felt relieved when she saw that everyone was a lack of energy. The female relatives don't need to go to the morning court, and suddenly get up so early, no one's wife can bear it. As soon as Chu Jinyao arrived, the women, young and old, stood up and saluted her. Today, all the ladies who have a fate must enter the palace for congratulations, even the gray-haired old lady cannot avoid it. Seeing these ladies wearing full-frame Xia Ling and saluting themselves tremblingly, Chu Jinyao was really moved. The title of the prince princess really bears too much.

After a while, Xiao Qi also came out. Unsurprisingly, Empress Xiao Qi's complexion was not good, too, a pregnant concubine suddenly appeared in the harem, and she didn't know anything about who could sleep well. Empress Xiao Qi not only felt that her face as a queen was damaged, but she also felt a deep sense of loss of control.

Obviously, pregnancy is not a matter of overnight. Why did she get caught without knowing this matter?

It is really a tossing affair to celebrate the Yuan Dynasty. The wife below is uncomfortable, and the queen above, Chu Jinyao is also affected. But this is the case, many imperial wives regard this as a supreme honor, even if they suffer, they must go to the palace to see the queen and princess.

The man is in the front, and the woman is in the back according to her husband's rank. After going through the cumbersome process for a while, Chu Jinyao followed the queen to leave the field. Only then can the juniors support the elders and hurried to the side to rest.

After leaving the field, Xiao Qi can rest in the apse of Kunning Palace, but Chu Jinyao can't relax yet. She wants to serve her mother-in-law Xiao Qi, and of course she can't sit down. After Xiao Qi looked at Chu Jinyao in the dress in front of him with eight images of him, his eyes slowly narrowed.

If there is no host at the New Year's Eve banquet, then Xiao Qi will never believe it. But here is the question. Who will be the one who discovered this and pushed it secretly?

After Xiaoqi's thoughts last night, the doubts in her heart became more and more obvious. Is a woman who can turn a sparrow into a phoenix and marry into the East Palace in a graceful manner, really has a quiet and harmless temper?
