After Mo Qingge left, other dancers joined in. Ling Qiyang continued to eat his own food, and Jun Lixuan slightly toasted Jun Liyuan and Jun Liche in a place where no one else could see, celebrating their escape.
Jun Liyuan also felt relieved and concentrated on the palace banquet, so as not to be too distracted and arouse suspicion.
"Your Majesty, I have something to do, which may be related to the alliance between our two countries." Shan Wenke said.
"But it doesn't matter." Emperor Yanxi nodded.
"The Lord Shicai said that the country of Ye is full of talented people. If Chi Ze can marry Daye, on the one hand, it will help you and me to trust each other and strengthen our positions. Cultivation and growth are also beneficial and harmless. I wonder what your majesty thinks?"
Jun Lixuan raised his eyes and looked at Shan Wenke. This proposal is very good. There are not a few people who form alliances and maintain them through marriage, but the question is who is more suitable to marry.
At this time, You Guojun also opened his mouth and said: "Emperor Chi Ze is a new emperor, but he governs the country well and is humble. He is indeed a person worthy of entrustment." After spending a few days with Shan Wenke, You Guojun thinks that this person is very good , is a worthwhile ally.
Emperor Yanxi thought for a moment, and said: "I have two daughters who are the same age, but the months are slightly different. And they are both at the right age for marriage. I am also taking care of the princess. After all, they are my own daughters, so I have to pay more attention to everything." consider."
In fact, the two princesses of Ye Kingdom are not too young, but Emperor Yanxi has been choosing others, and there is always no suitable one, so he procrastinates again and again. Anyway, she's a princess, so it doesn't matter if she's a little older.
"Your Majesty loves daughters dearly, and I understand that. There is no rush for this matter, and it depends on the princess's wishes. I don't like to force it." Shan Wenke laughed.
"En." Emperor Yanxi nodded, which was considered to have accepted Shan Wenke's proposal of marriage.
The imperial concubine on the seat rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Emperor Chi Ze probably doesn't know much about the two princesses. The eldest princess is good at poetry and books. Although a woman is virtuous if she has no talent, she is loved by the emperor and she is willing to study." , so the knowledge is not bad. The second princess is proficient in temperament, and seeing that Emperor Chi Ze liked the sound of the piano just now, the second princess should be more suitable for you."
The imperial concubine seemed to be introducing the directors of the two princesses to Emperor Chi Ze, but the actual meaning couldn't be more obvious. The two princesses and concubines died early, the eldest princess was raised by the queen, and the second princess was raised by the imperial concubine. Although they are similar in age, their personalities are completely different. The reason why the imperial concubine favored the second princess was because she wanted to use the power of the second princess to win over Chi Ze for her own use.
Jun Lixuan and the others understand this truth, but they can't discuss whether Emperor Yanxi can think of this level.
"The princess is still in her boudoir. If the imperial concubine says this, it will inevitably hurt the princess's reputation. If it is rumored in the future what the two princesses are good at and what they are not good at, and their shortcomings and shortcomings are exposed, it will be the princess who is involved. It's time to talk." Shan Wenke obviously didn't appreciate the enthusiasm of the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine sneered, "I just hope that Emperor Chi Ze has an understanding of the princess, so that he can choose the one that suits you best."
Shan Wenke chuckled and said, "It's up to Your Majesty whether you want to marry the princess to me. It's too early for me to choose now."
Seeing Shan Wenke's humble attitude and adhering to etiquette, Emperor Yanxi was quite satisfied, and said, "I will answer you after discussing this matter with the queen."
"Okay," Shan Wenke nodded with a smile.
The imperial concubine heard that Yanxi only talked with the queen, she was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to explode. After a while, she got up and said: "Your Majesty, I feel a little unwell, so I want to leave first."
Emperor Yanxi didn't keep her any longer, just nodded and said: "Go back."
"The concubine will leave." The imperial concubine made a half-respect.
"I'm sending my mother and concubine back." Jun Chengxi got up and said to Emperor Yanxi.
Emperor Yanxi waved his hand and let him go.
The banquet continued amidst the sound of singing and dancing, and there was harmony and joy...
After the banquet, Jun Liche accompanied Emperor Yanxi to send the queen back to the palace. Jun Liyuan went to send Emperor Chi Ze and King You back to the post house.
Jun Lixuan took Ling Qiyang back to the palace. After taking a bath, the two sat on the bed, Ling Qiyang put the small dish of sour plums on the bed, and leaned against Jun Lixuan, eating happily.
Jun Lixuan stroked Ling Qiyang's stomach, smiled and said: "Although I know it will be several months, but I still can't help but look forward to it." In his previous life, he had no feeling or obsession with the matter of heirs, but now, he is always in his heart. Rejoicing, but also thinking that if there is a child like Qi Yang, he must be pampered to heaven.
"Well. I just hope that he is a healthy child." Ling Qiyang naturally hopes, he doesn't want his child to be successful, but only to be safe and healthy.
"Yes, there is a senior here." Jun Lixuan said with a smile: "When I have nothing to do, I have been thinking of a name for the child. But I don't think it's good, so far I haven't thought of a satisfactory one."
Ling Qiyang laughed, "It's still early, think about it slowly." He has never considered the issue of the name, maybe he should think about it next time.
"Okay, don't eat this sour plum." Jun Lixuan took the small plate away from his hand, "I'm really afraid that the child is fine, but you will spoil your stomach."
"It's okay." Ling Qiyang didn't argue with him, anyway, he could eat again when he woke up. Reaching out to hug Jun Lixuan's waist, Ling Qiyang leaned on his stomach and said, "When do you think Shan Wenke will come to Lin Palace?"
Jun Lixuan inserted her fingers into Ling Qiyang's hair, and asked, "How did you know he would come?"
"In front of the emperor, he can't show that he is too familiar with you. But since he has already arrived in Ye country, with his mind, why not come?" Ling Qiyang closed his eyes, and continued: "What's more, he proposed to ask Although the marriage is for the sake of the relationship between the two countries, how can you know that it is not for the purpose of making you believe that he is willing to abide by the previous promise?"
"My wife is very considerate." Jun Lixuan said with a smile, "Then do you think Father will marry the eldest princess to him, or the second princess?"
"As far as selfishness is concerned, the eldest princess is naturally better. After all, she was raised by the empress, and Shan Wenke is also a safe person, and she is a good person to entrust her for life. But I don't think the imperial concubine will let her go. This opportunity." He really has no contact with the eldest princess, although he is Qingzi, he is also a man. The princess is raised in the pavilion, even if he is a princess, it is not suitable to meet each other, so there is no understanding.
"Yes. The eldest princess's marriage has always been on the mind of the empress. If she can marry well, it will be a matter of the empress's concern." Jun Lixuan said.
"In fact, no matter who marries in the past, it doesn't matter to us. Even if it is the second princess, Shan Wenke will keep his promise, but it is more troublesome to communicate with each other. Don't be too active in this matter, lest the emperor be suspicious. As for For the final candidate, I think my father will still ask Shan Wenke. After all, even if my daughter seldom cares about it, I hope that she will be loved by her husband after marriage. If the princess and Shan Wenke are at odds, they will It affects the relationship between the two countries." As for political marriage, it is actually a double-edged sword. If the relationship between husband and wife is good, the relationship between the two countries will naturally go smoothly. If it is not good, if there are any rumors, it is not uncommon for them to turn against each other.
"Well, let's wait and see what happens. If the imperial concubine is more active, it might be beneficial to us." Jun Lixuan said with a smile. After all, it is a marriage between the two countries, and the emperor has to take into account the matter of establishing a crown prince that may be involved in the future.
Ling Qiyang didn't say anything, leaned against him and closed his eyes. Jun Lixuan touched his cheek and said in a low voice, "Do you want to sleep?"
"No..." Ling Qiyang whispered: "Just lie down like this for a while."
Jun Lixuan agreed with a smile, enjoying the warmth of the two being together.
But before Jun Lixuan could enjoy it enough, Ming Li hurried in and said: "My lord, my concubine, Lord Chong sent someone to tell me that the imperial concubine had a miscarriage."
Ling Qiyang opened his eyes, and looked at Jun Lixuan for a moment.
Jun Lixuan turned to Mingli and said, "Got it, don't make it public, wait for news from the palace."
"Yes, I understand." Mingli said and then backed out.
Jun Lixuan looked at Ling Qiyang and asked, "What do you think?"
Ling Qiyang shook his head, "The imperial concubine has always had an unstable fetus. Although the miscarriage is unreasonable, it is still expected. I can't say anything now, let's see how the imperial hospital responds."
"Um."
Not long after, Ming Li ran in again, "My lord, the emperor's personal attendant has come and said that if the princess is free, please come to the palace. I'm afraid the imperial concubine is not good."
Ling Qiyang frowned slightly, since the emperor sent someone here, he had to go even if he was not free.
"Go back and tell me that I will come when I change my clothes." Ling Qiyang said.
"Yes." Mingli replied.
Jun Lixuan helped Ling Qiyang get off the bed, and dressed the two of them again.
Ling Qiyang pondered for a while, then said: "Stop by the way to Master."
"Huh?" Jun Lixuan looked at him puzzled.
"Bring master. The imperial concubine's miscarriage is a big or small matter, and the master's words will be more convincing. Besides, the imperial concubine is not dead yet. If she is not in her mother's house, how can she continue to be arrogant? If her mother's house is not If you are arrogant, how can you catch the bigger mistakes and get rid of them at the root?" He didn't like the imperial concubine, so he had to take a long-term view of everything. Daddy taught him many times that short-sightedness cannot accomplish great things. For those who achieve great things, in addition to being smart, it is more important to learn to endure and plan for a rainy day.
"Okay." Jun Lixuan didn't delay any longer, arranged Ling Qiyang's clothes, and took people out.
The carriage was ready, and the two went to Gu Yao's house first. The house is not small, but there is no plaque, if Mingli hadn't been there before, Ling Qiyang would have doubted whether the house was uninhabited.
When the two arrived, Gu Yao was cooking herbal food for Daddy Ling, and was going to reheat it in the morning and send it over. After learning about the purpose of the two people's visit, Gu Yao didn't say anything, and got into the carriage with the medicine box. The carriage went straight to the palace.
There was silence in Jingtai Palace. The door of the dormitory was closed tightly, and the servants and attendants stood guard outside silently.
Seeing Lord Lin and his party coming, the attendants guarding the door opened the door. The three walked in.
The smell of blood in the hall was very heavy, and the imperial concubine lay pale on the bed, unconscious.
"Father, mother and queen." The two saluted.
Emperor Yanxi raised his head when he heard the words, and saw Gu Yao standing behind at a glance. In fact, as soon as Gu Yao entered the door, everyone noticed him. With his aura, it was hard not to pay attention. It's just that Emperor Yanxi kept his head down and thought about things, so he ignored it.
"You're here." Emperor Yanxi looked at Gu Yao without questioning or scolding, just like old acquaintances.
Gu Yao didn't speak, just stood there quietly. Although the concubines lowered their heads, their eyes still looked at Gu Yao from time to time.
"My son's medical skills are poor, and I am afraid of delaying the imperial concubine's illness, so I specially invited the master and my son to come together." Ling Qiyang said.
Emperor Yanxi nodded, and said to Gu Yao, "I'm sorry."
At this time, Mo Yu'er, who was nestled in the queen's arms, let out a small cry. Ling Qiyang walked over, and immediately found that there was something wrong with its right hind leg, and the hair on the leg was also wet.
"What's the matter?" Ling Qiyang asked as he touched his hand, and when he took it away, his palm was covered with black blood. The blood was obviously Mo Yu'er's own, and the blood of the medicine cat was black.
The queen carefully handed Mo Yu'er to Ling Qiyang, and then explained: "I heard that the imperial concubine had a miscarriage, so I hurried over. This little thing followed me, and I didn't send it back. Mo Yu'er didn't want to wait outside for news. He rushed towards the fifth prince. The fifth prince was startled, and slapped Mo Yu'er on the doorpost on one side, breaking his leg. I don't know what happened to this little thing. His legs were broken and he continued to go to the fifth prince. Jumping on him, I didn't have time to stop him, the fifth prince was probably frightened, he drew a dagger from his bosom and stabbed Mo Yu'er."
Ling Qiyang frowned after hearing this, he knew that Mo Yu'er would not attack people at will.
The little thing weakly licked Ling Qiyang's hand twice, as if he was about to fall asleep. Ling Qiyang glared fiercely at Jun Chengxi.
Jun Chengxi said lightly: "I don't like cats. It suddenly jumped down and scared me. Coupled with the miscarriage of the mother and concubine, I was confused and hurt it."
Emperor Yanxi looked at Jun Chengxi silently, and then at Gu Yao. Then he stood up and kicked Jun Chengxi's knee...
