<--> Outside Fengyang Palace, things gradually became lively.
It was already dark, and the naughty little stars poked out through the dark night, like naughty children, whispering something to each other.
There are no secrets in the palace. The fact that the emperor allowed the mage to perform a ritual on the Queen's unborn baby tonight has already spread in the harem, so many people came to watch to see if the mage could really perform the magic on the Queen's unborn child. Get rid of the child's resentment.
The place chosen for the practice is an open space some distance away from Fengyang Palace.
The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother came, and Jun Qianche arrived last. When Jun Qianche arrived, the Queen Mother ordered the practice to begin.
Mo Qiqi stood in the middle of the open space. A Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and holding Buddha dust in his hand was walking around her, muttering incantations that no one could understand. Then he took a bowl of water from the casting table, dipped his fingers in it and sprinkled it on Mo Qiqi a few times.
Then the Taoist priest danced wildly, then looked at the emperor and reported respectfully: "To inform the emperor, the child in the empress's belly is not filled with resentment, but that the empress is possessed by something unclean, and is haunting the empress. When he leaves, he always hurts the Queen, intentionally or unintentionally. He once hurt the Queen in the toilet and broke her forehead, and not long ago, he also caused the Queen to fall down."
Everyone nodded in shock and whispered: "Yes, yes, the Queen was in the toilet a few days ago. When she came out, her forehead was bleeding for no reason. Also, during the last Mid-Autumn Festival, the Queen fell down even though she was fine. If it hadn’t fallen on the imperial concubine, then the person who lost the child would have been the empress.”
Jun Qianche listened to the whispers of the palace people with a sneer in his eyes. He never believed in the theory of strange powers and gods, but others did. Today, he took advantage of those two accidents to turn the child from an unlucky one into an unclean one. things on your body.
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager said with a worried look on her face: "The Taoist priest quickly collected the unclean things from the Queen. Don't let him harm the Queen." These were all words that had been colluded before, and the purpose was that bowl On the divine water, as long as you watch Mo Qiqi drink the divine water with your own eyes, even if the gods come, they can't save Mo Qiqi's child.
After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, the Taoist priest shook his head and sighed: "Returning to the Empress Dowager, it's not that the poor Taoist didn't take away the Queen Mother's things, but that the things on the Queen Mother's body were too powerful, and the Queen Mother was too powerful. She is pregnant and the poor Taoist is afraid that if she uses a talisman to hold her back, she will not be able to bear it and will hurt the Queen."
The Queen Mother worried: "What should we do? We can't let that unclean thing stay on the Queen! What if he hurts the Queen again?"
The Taoist Master spoke respectfully again: "I have another way to completely remove the unclean things from the Queen's body, but I don't know if the Emperor will allow it."
The Empress Dowager said anxiously: "Taoist Master, please tell me."
"It means asking the Queen to take the divine water to eliminate the unclean things in the Queen's body."
The Empress Dowager looked at Jun Qianche and said, "Your Majesty, the Ai family thinks this method is safer. I wonder what your Majesty's opinion is?"
Jun Qianche thought for a while and said calmly: "I think this method is good, but it is a bit dangerous. After all, the queen is pregnant now and cannot eat or drink randomly. Although it is divine water, I don't know if it is dangerous to the child. , In my opinion, you might as well try using the talisman first. If you really can’t control the dirty things in the queen’s body, it’s not too late to use the divine water.”
Jun Qianche's words seemed to others that he only cared about the child in the queen's belly, but he knew what he wanted to do, and so did Mo Qiqi.
Although the Empress Dowager felt that this was different from what they had agreed before, she did not doubt it too much. Maybe Jun Qianche cared too much about the child in Mo Qiqi's belly, so she was worried. But whether it was using a talisman or drinking the divine water, it was the Taoist priest's words. She had already told the Taoist priest that she must let the queen drink the divine water tonight, so later the Taoist priest would only say that the dirty things in the queen's body were suppressed. If you can’t live without it, you just have to drink the divine water, but it’s just one more step.
The sudden change made the Taoist priest a little worried and he looked at the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother nodded towards him.
The Taoist Master understood, and immediately looked at Jun Qianche and said respectfully: "In that case, let me first use the talisman paper to help the Queen to dispel the evil spirit. If that doesn't work, I will use the divine water."
Jun Qianche nodded slightly in agreement, and the others did not see anything wrong.
The Taoist priest danced around Mo Qiqi again, then put two talisman papers on Mo Qiqi's body and kept talking.
Everyone watched this scene intently, just when the Taoist Master was about to say that this talisman was useless against the evil spirit in the Queen's body.
Mo Qiqi, who was standing well, suddenly covered her head and said with a painful expression: "Ah! My head hurts so much. It hurts so much."
The Taoist priest didn't understand what was going on. In fact, he was not the real Taoist priest, but a confidant hired by the Queen Mother to pretend to be a Taoist priest. This talisman paper was also fake. Logically speaking, this talisman paper should be useless when used on people. , but what happened to the Queen? Could it be that there is really something unclean on the Queen's body
While the fake Taoist priest was thinking, he saw the Empress Dowager winking at him.
The fake Taoist priest immediately understood what the Empress Dowager meant and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that this talisman cannot absorb the dirty things in the Queen's body. I will prepare some sacred water for the Queen Mother."
Jun Qianche looked at the queen coldly and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to possess the queen and harm the queen and my prince?"
Everyone looked at the empress with a painful expression in fear and took two steps back timidly.
The queen, who had just looked in pain, suddenly lowered her head, and then heard a strange voice: "Alas!" A helpless sigh.
Everyone was startled and took a few steps back, fearing that something dirty in the queen's body would get to them.
Jun Qianche looked at Mo Qiqi and asked, "Who are you? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can complain to me. Don't hurt the innocent prince."
The queen lowered her head, but opened her mouth and made a sound: "Che'er, can't you even recognize the voice of the emperor's grandfather?"
Jun Qianche looked shocked: "Emperor, Grandfather? Really, is it really you?"
Everyone was stunned and opened their mouths in disbelief.
Few of these concubines had ever seen Jun Qianche’s imperial grandfather, Emperor Chenwu.
But the old people in the palace had seen it, and they all nodded and whispered: "It is indeed the voice of Emperor Wu."
Everyone was frightened after hearing this. Although they were scared, they were out of curiosity and didn't want to leave. They could only step back and distance themselves to see how things would develop.
The fake Taoist priest had seen such a thing and was so frightened that his legs were weak. He didn't expect that there was really something unclean in the queen's body, so he had long forgotten to prepare the sacred water.
The Emperor Chenwu's voice shocked the Empress Dowager. All shrewdness, conspiracy, and suspicion were thrown out of the window at this moment. Perhaps she could be ruthless to anyone, and she was invincible, but Emperor Chenwu was Her Achilles' heel is her weakness. This man she has always wanted, she has spent her whole life never getting into his heart. He will always only have her sister in his heart, so she hates him so much, but this hatred is because Love too much, love too much, what is the greatest sorrow in life
It's not a separation of life and death. My sister Lin Feiyue died, but she will live in his heart forever. Although she is alive, she has worked hard all her life and failed to make him look at her. Therefore, the greatest sorrow in life is not being able to ask for it.
She had both love and hatred for Emperor Chenwu, and this hatred was born of this love.
He has been dead for so many years, but she has never forgotten her for a day. She always remembers that on the anniversary of her sister's death that year, he got drunk and regarded her as his sister. He favored her with infinite tenderness. Although that night His tenderness was stolen, but it made her unforgettable for the rest of her life. This man was too charming, too attractive to her, and she couldn't give up. If she could give up, she wouldn't be in such pain all these years. .
She often told herself, forget him, stop thinking about the man who betrayed you and hurt you, turn that longing and love into hatred, and punish them severely.
But after so many years, when this man's voice appeared in her ears again, her heart was confused, everything was messed up, she couldn't think anymore, the love and longing that had been suppressed for so many years came out all at once, Looking at Mo Qiqi, tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Jun Qianche was a little surprised when he saw the Empress Dowager at this moment. He didn't expect that she would shed tears. But after the accident, he immediately regained his composure. He wanted to perform the scene well and save his prince.
Jun Qianche looked at Mo Qiqi and asked, "Grandfather, how come you are in the queen's body?"
Everyone looked at Mo Qiqi without daring to breathe, waiting for the strange, gentle and majestic voice to answer.
Mo Qiqi, who was lowering his head, sighed again: "Oh! What the emperor did was helpless. A few days ago, I learned that there was a soul with resentment over there that he wanted to haunt. The queen of Huachen Kingdom was killed by the emperor because she committed a crime. He was unwilling to accept it, so he came to pester the queen to prevent the emperor's child from being born smoothly. He wanted to take revenge on the emperor.
I was very worried when I heard that, thinking that my unborn great-grandson might be in danger, how could I ignore it! So I followed them secretly, but I didn't expect that the resentful soul really caught up with the queen. I secretly wanted to drive him away, but he wouldn't leave, and even hurt the queen twice. I couldn't continue like this. If I didn't Drive him away. Sooner or later, something will happen to the child in the Queen's belly. So I followed the Queen secretly, looking for opportunities to drive away the resentful soul. And just two days ago, I finally found the opportunity to take advantage of him. When he was tired, he pulled him out of the queen's body and handed him over to the life officer. The life officer said that the child in the queen's belly was the reincarnation of a lucky star in the sky and the right son, so he had to be protected. Since I was the child's. My great-grandfather asked me to stay in this world to protect my child before he was born. So I stayed with the queen.
In fact, the child in the queen's belly is not an unlucky one, but a lucky one who can bring blessings and prosperity to Huachen Kingdom. But some people are jealous that the queen is pregnant, so they deliberately spread rumors. Those rumors are not true, so you must protect this child well and don't let anyone hurt him. "
Everyone looked shocked and felt that it was very dangerous. Fortunately, the emperor did not get rid of the child in the queen's belly, otherwise he would have got rid of the right one.
Jun Qianche said respectfully: "Thank you, Grandfather, for telling your grandson this. My grandson will definitely protect the child in the Queen's belly. With Grandfather here, the child will be born smoothly."
Mo Qiqi sighed again and said: "Alas! Although I really want to stay and see my great-grandson born, my identity has been exposed, so I can no longer stay in the world. The official said that once If someone discovers me, I need to go back immediately, so I’m leaving now, Che’er, please protect the child in the Queen’s belly!”
After finishing speaking, the queen's body moved, and the talisman on her body fell to the ground. Then Mo Qiqi slowly raised her head, touched her head, looked at everyone with a blank look on her face and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ?Why did you have a headache just now? I feel so tired."
Jun Qianche looked at the queen and asked, "Queen, don't you know what just happened?"
Mo Qiqi shook her head: "I don't know, it feels like I just slept? But I'm standing there, how could I fall asleep!"
Jun Qianche walked up to her, looked at her, and said with gentle eyes: "It's okay. If you feel tired, I will accompany you back to the palace to rest."
Mo Qiqi asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Isn't the Taoist Master doing this? I haven't drank the sacred water yet, what should I do if something unclean hurts the child in my belly?"
Jun Qianche looked at her lovingly and said calmly: "No, there is nothing unclean. Our child will be born safely. Let's go!" He hugged Mo Qiqi and left.
The Empress Dowager finally came to her senses, and she was about to explode with anger in her heart. It turned out that this was a scam from the beginning, but she was so eager to get rid of the child in Mo Qiqi's belly that she fell for it. Now that the matter has come to this, no amount of anger and reluctance will help. I can only think of another way, look at the crowd and say: "Let's all disperse!"
Everyone dispersed. After what they did tonight, no one would think that the Queen was carrying an unknown child. I believe that the child in the Queen's belly was the descendant of a lucky star. I believe it would spread soon.
Jun Qianche accompanied Mo Qiqi back to Fengyang Palace and walked into the palace. Mo Qiqi smiled from ear to ear: "Hahaha, Your Majesty, you are so amazing. With just one move, the Empress Dowager was completely stunned. We were defeated, but you didn’t even see the look on the face of the Empress Dowager when we left. She was annoyed and angry, it was so scary.”
Jun Qianche helped her to sit down at the table, and scolded her lovingly: "You are already a mother, and you still don't know how to take care of yourself. Sadness and joy will be harmful to your body."
Mo Qiqi pouted and said, "I am really happy! It's so funny to see the Empress Dowager shriveled up. Even though she is cunning, the Emperor pushed her forward on the sofa like a wave from behind. .”
Jun Qianche just smiled faintly, his eyes a little deep.
Mo Qiqi saw that he had won the match but the Empress Dowager was not very happy and asked, "Your Majesty, you seem to have something on your mind."
Jun Qianche said with emotion: "It's not a worry, it's just a bit unexpected. I always thought that the Queen Mother was blinded by jealousy and didn't think she had much feelings for the Emperor's grandfather. But today I saw her listening to the Emperor's After hearing my grandfather's voice, I was stunned and even shed tears silently. Only then did I realize that, in fact, she really loved my grandfather. It turned out that someone as cruel and ruthless as her could also love him."
Mo Qiqi lay on the table with her hands on her chin and sighed: "Yes! I saw it too. That's why she was stunned after hearing the voice of the emperor's grandfather. She lost her judgment and didn't see that immediately. The sound was fishy. If she had not been disturbed by the voice of the emperor at that time, she would definitely have noticed the fishiness of the voice and asked someone to check it out. Our plan would have been doomed. Although she loved the emperor's grandfather, he only had the emperor in his heart. Grandma, she has loved the imperial grandfather her whole life, which is quite pitiful when she thinks about it."
"Pity?" Jun Qianche looked at Mo Qiqi and said disdainfully: "Although I was surprised by the Queen Mother's reaction today, I don't feel sorry for the Queen Mother. Her marriage to the emperor's grandfather was stolen from her. She got it by killing her own sister. Such a person is destined to not be happy. It was she who broke up the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother. How can such a person be pitiful? However, her momentary confusion made her Our plan worked out and we won and kept the baby.”
Mo Qiqi looked at him and smiled, and joked: "Your Majesty, you are really a conspirator. If you play tricks, I'm afraid no one can beat you."
Jun Qianche raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you praising me?"
Mo Qiqi rolled her eyes at him and said: "Whatever you think. But Your Majesty, I don't understand, since you used the Emperor's grandfather to deal with the Queen Mother, why don't you let the Emperor's grandfather continue to stay in my body! In this way, the Emperor If the Queen Mother has taboos in her heart, she will no longer attack the doctrine that harms our children."
Jun Qianche reached out and tapped her on the head and said: "You are the mother of a country. Would it be scary for people to know that there is another soul living in your body? Aren't you afraid that no one will dare to approach you again? This It is said that you can use your strange power to confuse the gods occasionally. It will always follow you. If someone is jealous of you and finds someone to secretly deal with you, wouldn't it be dangerous? Besides, the imperial grandmother was only temporarily deceived. In our case, When she came, she was already awake and understood the conspiracy, so how could she be jealous of the non-existent soul in your body!"
Mo Qiqi nodded, feeling that what Jun Qianche said made sense, so she stopped continuing the topic and asked instead: "Your Majesty, who is the person who secretly imitated the voice of the emperor's grandfather today?" In fact, it was Emperor Chenwu whom everyone heard at that time. Someone said in secret that Mo Qiqi had never met Emperor Chen Wu, so how could she know what his voice was like! Even if he knew it, he wouldn’t have the talent to imitate it! So she just kept her head down and lip-synced.
Jun Qianche stroked her hair and said, "Want to know? In fact, she also wants to see you. I will arrange for you to meet tomorrow. It's late at night, so go to bed early."
Mo Qiqi nodded obediently.
Jun Qianche reminded again: "Although this matter has been resolved, the Queen Mother will not be reconciled without getting rid of our children. We must be more careful in the future."
Mo Qiqi nodded: "I understand, before the child is born, I just stay in Fengyang Palace obediently and don't run around."
Jun Qianche held her in his arms distressedly and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Mo Qiqi shook her head, snuggled into his warm embrace and said, "It's not hard." With his careful protection, all the hard work is worth it.
With the matter on Mo Qiqi's side settled, she could have a good night's sleep.
As for Guining Palace, Yang Shihan did not go to the practice site tonight, and was entangled with Mo Chengxuan in the palace.
The two had a long and deep kiss, and Yang Shihan had already fallen into his gentle and lingering kiss. Her delicate jade fingers uncontrollably pulled at the belt around his waist, eager to give him more.
And when the belt around his waist was pulled open, Yang Shihan's little hand caressed his strong chest dishonestly. The autumn night was cold, and the exposed skin would make people feel cold, and the coolness coming from the chest also made people feel cold. His sunken thoughts suddenly came to life and he pushed her away.
Yang Shihan, who was immersed in such a beautiful entanglement, was suddenly pushed away. He was a little stunned, his face was red, and he stared at Mo Chengxuan shyly and unhappily.
Mo Chengxuan looked at her, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Yang Shihan saw this and asked angrily: "Why? You obviously have feelings for me, why did you push me away?"
"My dearest concubine, it was the general who offended me, and he deserves to die." Mo Chengxuan said in a low voice. He didn't want to push her away, but reality cruelly told him that he had to push her away.
Yang Shihan ran up to him, looked at him and asked, "Is it because I am the emperor's concubine? If I don't want to be this concubine anymore, will you accept me?" His heart beat unconsciously, waiting for him. answer.
Mo Chengxuan wanted to tell her that if you were not the emperor's concubine, I would definitely pursue you, but this was impossible, so he could only stop his thoughts and hers, and said ruthlessly: "No, the Mo family and the Yang family have always been at odds with each other. I will never bother you again. Farewell."
Mo Chengxuan disappeared in front of Yang Shihan.
Yang Shihan felt that all the blood in his body had been drained instantly, and he fell weakly to the ground. He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but the smile was so bitter and helpless, and tears fell down unsatisfactorily. One drop after another, it fell on the back of the hand.
Mo Chengxuan, if I told you that the person I love is not my cousin but you, and the relationship between me and my cousin is innocent, would you still turn around and leave so ruthlessly? will you Love Me
Tears kept falling like broken pearls.
She considers herself to be a very strong girl. She has never shed tears for anyone or anything since she was a child, because she knows that shedding tears cannot solve the problem, so no matter what kind of difficulty she will face, she will face it. , will not be afraid, will not flinch, but when facing Mo Chengxuan, all her tenacity and edges disappeared. She felt that she suddenly became so weak and helpless, and she even cried. Who could she cry to? If he doesn't love you, no matter how much you cry, he won't see it, and even if he sees it, he won't feel sorry for you.
Yang Shihan, you are really a failure. You have loved him for so many years, but in the end, he has no feelings for you at all, and he does not remember you at all.
The smile on her lips became increasingly bitter, and a voice in her heart told her, let it go! He doesn't love you, so why insist on it
But another voice was roaring: I am not willing to give in, I am not willing to give in. I, Yang Shihan, must get the man I like and will never let him go.
Tonight's night is beautiful, but it doesn't change anything at all. Happy people are happy, and sad people are sad.
Mo Chengxuan left the palace and walked alone on the empty streets, feeling confused and bitter, drowning all his thoughts. He felt like God was playing tricks on people.
The Queen Mother was destined to be unable to sleep that night.
Although she was annoyed that Jun Qianche had designed her to jump in, she had nothing to complain about. The competition for the royal family was so cruel. If you were negligent, others would take advantage of it.
The reason why she couldn't sleep was because of that voice. Although she already understood that it was a trick and the voice couldn't be Emperor Wu's, it must have been imitated by someone, but the longing that had been suppressed in her heart for so many years surged up like a tide. , I thought that he could be forgotten after he passed away for so many years, but I didn't expect that when I heard "his" voice again, I missed him more and more.
For her, not only did he kill his own sister, but he also risked his life's happiness. But after all, he still didn't win his heart. No matter how much unwillingness and resentment he felt, he couldn't know it.
But even if he leaves, she can't let him leave with peace of mind. She won't let him and Lin Feiyue's descendants live a good life. Since she can't be the person he loves in his heart, she can't be the person he hates in his heart. The same can be in his heart.
The Empress Dowager sat alone on the throne, licking the wounds in her heart, her eyes becoming more and more cruel and cold.
Jun Qianche, Aijia doesn't believe that you can save the child in Mo Qiqi's belly every time. Aijia will never let that child be born smoothly, and Aijia will never give up on getting rid of that child.
If you do this, it will only make the Aijia want to get rid of that child even more. Thinking of Emperor Wu reminds the Ai family of hatred. For all you care about, the Ai family will be destroyed.
The Queen Mother has gone crazy, she is completely immersed in hatred.
The next day, after the morning court, Jun Qianche came to Fengyang Palace, followed by a young man and woman.
Mo Qiqi was standing in the yard joking!
"I heard that you have been going to Painter Zhao's residence quite frequently recently. Have you fallen in love with Painter Zhao?" Emei was frivolous and smiled ambiguously at Banxiang.
Banxiang's cheeks were red with embarrassment and she said, "My Lady, what are you talking about? I went to see Painter Zhao to ask him to draw some flowers. I want to embroider something."
"Oh! That's it! Who is it for? Could it be for Painter Zhao? A token of love?" continued teasing Banxiang.
Banxiang's little face was already red: "Mother, if you say anything again, I will get angry."
Mo Qiqi sighed and said: "It seems that I have really misunderstood. Next time I see Painter Zhao, I must remind him carefully so that he will not run to Fengyang Palace in the future, so as not to ruin your reputation. . If he dares to let me help you, I will definitely find someone to teach him a lesson."
After hearing this, Banxiang looked at Mo Qiqi nervously: "Mother, please don't."
Mo Qiqi looked at Banxiang and smiled mischievously.
Banxiang stomped her feet angrily: "Mother, you bully my slave again."
"Hahaha -" Mo Qiqi smiled happily, raised her chin and said with a wicked smile: "Young man, you still want to hide it from me, I have already seen through your little thoughts. Feel free to love boldly! It’s not like I’m not allowed to do so, the flowers should bloom when they’re supposed to bloom, so that they can live up to this most beautiful flowering period.”
Banxiang's face turned red.
Jun Qianche, Ning Xuanyu and Ning Xuanyu's husband Wen Zifeng happened to hear their conversation.
Ning Xuanyu joked: "Senior brother, I finally know why you fell in love with the queen now. She has really changed."
A faint smile flashed across the corner of Jun Qianche's lips: "You haven't come into contact with her yet, but your view of her has already been changed?"
Ning Xuanyu nodded honestly: "Although we haven't been in contact yet, I can already hear the change from what she said teasing the maid just now. If it were the previous queen, she would never say these words, nor would she tease a maid. , the former queen was unruly, willful, and always held a high position, so letting her get along with the maids is simply an insult to her."
Wen Zifeng pulled off his wife's sleeve and said, "Madam—"
Ning Xuanyu was not afraid at all, because facing Jun Qianche, she only regarded him as her senior brother, so she could be neither big nor small.
Jun Qianche glared at her and said displeasedly: "You are talking about senior brother's wife, your sister-in-law. Senior brother will be angry."
Ning Xuanyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Did Junior Sister say something wrong?"
Seeing this, Wen Zifeng said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Xuan Yu has a straightforward temper. Please don't blame her."
Jun Qianche smiled lightly: "I have been her senior brother and sister for so many years, but I still don't understand her temper. There are no outsiders here, so Zifeng doesn't need to be cautious."
Ning Xuanyu looked at Wen Zifeng and said softly: "Ms. sir, although my senior brother is the emperor, we are not his ministers, so we can just treat him as our elder brother."
Wen Zifeng nodded and smiled. People say that today's emperor is cold-blooded and serious, but when he saw the emperor today, it was not like that. Although there was a sense of oppression without anger, he was also easy-going, but this easy-going might just be just that. Only limited people can see it.
Jun Qianche walked towards Mo Qiqi.
Banxiang saw Jun Qianche approaching and quickly saluted: "I'm here to see you, Your Majesty."
Mo Qiqi turned around, a sweet smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth: "Your Majesty." She filled her body.
Jun Qianche stepped forward and held her hand, and said displeasedly: "How many times have I told you, there is no need to salute due to physical inconvenience."
Mo Qiqi replied mischievously: "You are the emperor, I dare not be presumptuous." Facing Jun Qianche, she always had a sense of awe, although sometimes she would contradict him and make him angry, but that kind of awe, But it can't be shaken off. Although they are husband and wife, he is not an ordinary husband. He is the king of a country. With this status and title, I am afraid that no one dares to be presumptuous in front of him.
Every time Jun Qianche sees her saluting, she feels a little unhappy in her heart. Although he is the king of a country, in front of her, his identity is just a husband, so she hopes that she will only regard herself as a husband. , don't care about those etiquette, but she can't do it, maybe it's because their feelings for each other haven't reached the point where they have no scruples!
Mo Qiqi saw the two people behind him and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, who are they?"
Ning Xuanyu and Wen Zifeng stepped forward and saluted: "See you, Queen."
"No need to be polite." Mo Qiqi said gently. The person who could be brought here by Jun Qianche should not be an outsider! At least someone he trusted.
Ning Xuanyu saw that Mo Qiqi looked at her with strange eyes, so she asked straightforwardly: "Empress, don't you remember my daughter? My daughter is Ning Xuanyu, and this is my husband Wen Zifeng."
Mo Qiqi had a look of realization on her face. No wonder Jun Qianche brought them here. It turned out to be Jun Qianche's junior sister. She had heard about Ning Xuanyu, so she also knew about some of the conflicts and misunderstandings I had with her before. The corners of his lips raised, and he smiled lightly: "It turns out that she is the daughter of King Ningnan, Junior Sister Xuan Yu. We haven't seen each other for many years, and I really don't know her." Presumably Jun Qianche didn't tell her about his "amnesia", since Jun Qianche Qian Che didn't say it, and there was no need for him to say it. The fewer people who know about this matter, the better. After all, she is the mother of a country. If she loses her memory, people will inevitably talk about it. My affair in the observation tower is not a glory. Although the people in the palace knew about it, under Jun Qianche's control, it was not spread outside the palace, otherwise the royal family's face and Jun Qianche's face would not be ruined.
"Your Majesty is a noble person who often forgets things, but I remember your Majesty. At the time, your Majesty loved the prince so much that she warned her not to have any ideas about the prince. Fortunately, the person I like is not my senior brother, otherwise - I'm afraid the consequences will be very serious. Seriously." Ning Xuanyu joked, also wanting to see if Mo Qiqi's temperament had really changed or if she was just pretending.
After hearing this, Mo Qiqi not only didn't get angry, but actually laughed, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's all because I was young and energetic at the time, so I did those ridiculous things. Junior Sister Xuan Yu, please don't bear any grudge against me."
Ning Xuanyu smiled: "How come? It's rare for a woman to love senior brother so much. It's too late for me to be happy for senior brother!"
like? Mo Qiqi looked at Jun Qianche, and Jun Qianche happened to look at her too.
Mo Qiqi immediately averted her eyes in embarrassment and said in her heart: The person who loves him is me, and I have no love for him! When she said this in her heart, Mo Qiqi felt a little guilty. She must have known clearly in her heart whether she loved him or not. Jun Qianche had done so much to him these days. It was not that she couldn't feel it. She just thought of his status as an emperor. Still a little timid, everyone said that equality is needed in love, but in ancient times, men and women could not be equal, and as an emperor, he could not allow others to be equal to him, so he could only suppress this love, even if You can't put it back on again, and you can't give all your love to him if you want to be with him. You must have some reservations. How long can the emperor's love last? As the saying goes: the beauty is cut off before old age, which is how to describe the emperor's love. , so I must stay awake, otherwise one day he will turn around and leave, and I will not be able to hold on.
Ning Xuanyu looked at the two of them shrewdly, wondering why the atmosphere between them was so strange! It’s been almost three years since they got married. Why do they feel like a young man and woman who are just starting to fall in love? Cautiously, with shyness and temptation, the strange two people walked forward slowly.
"Queen, you are heavy and cannot stand for a long time. Sit down and chat!" Jun Qianche helped Mo Qiqi sit down in front of an octagonal table under a tree full of pink flowers in the yard. :
Mo Qiqi looked at Ning Xuanyu and Wen Zifeng and greeted them warmly: "You guys should sit down too. Don't be polite when you come to this palace. Xuanyu is the emperor's junior sister and my sister. We are all one family."
Mo Qiqi's words once again shocked and surprised Ning Xuanyu. Is this the same Mo Qiqi he saw three years ago? Can one person really change so much? She is now a high-ranking queen, but she feels like an easy-going girl next door. Could it be that she got what she wanted, so she doesn't care about other things, so there is such a big change
No matter how Ning Xuanyu guessed, he couldn't guess that the body was actually Mo Qiqi's, but the soul had already changed.
Jun Qianche looked at Mo Qiqi and said, "Wasn't the queen curious about who was imitating the imperial grandfather's voice last night? I brought him here."
Mo Qiqi's eyes fell on Wen Zifeng. She heard Wen Zifeng's voice just now. It was a gentle voice. She didn't expect that imitating the imperial grandfather's voice could be so gentle and majestic.
Jun Qianche saw her thoughts and said again: "Xuan Yu imitated it."
Mo Qiqi was shocked again and looked at Ning Xuanyu in disbelief: "Yes, it was Junior Sister Xuanyu who imitated it?" It was so surprising. Although Ning Xuanyu had a straightforward temperament like a boy, her voice was It's very gentle and pleasant, and it's incredible that it can imitate a male voice so realistically. If you were in modern times, you could participate in a copycat show.
Ning Xuanyu said a little embarrassedly: "When I used to learn martial arts from my master, I would imitate the sounds of birds and insects when I was bored. Sometimes I would also try to imitate human voices. Over time, I found a little trick. I usually do it just for fun, but I didn’t expect that my senior brother would come to me yesterday and ask me to imitate Emperor Wu’s voice. I was lucky enough to meet Emperor Wu several times before he was alive, so I remembered his voice and agreed.”
Mo Qiqi said gratefully: "Junior sister Xuan Yu, thank you very much last night. You did us a big favor and saved our child."
Facing Mo Qiqi's thanks, Ning Xuanyu smiled sheepishly and said, "Empress, you are too polite. The child in your belly will call me Senior Sister in the future! This is what it should be."
Mo Qiqi and Jun Qianche looked at each other and smiled.
Ning Xuanyu and Wen Zifeng didn't stay long. There were informants everywhere in the palace. Jun Qianche didn't want the Queen Mother to know that it was Ning Xuanyu who imitated the voice of his grandfather last night. He was afraid of bringing trouble to them, so they chatted with each other. After a while, Ning Xuanyu and Wen Zifeng left.
Mo Qiqi asked Jun Qianche with some worry: "Your Majesty, if you bring Xuan Yu and his wife to my concubine like this, will the Empress Dowager know that Xuan Yu was up to something last night?"
Jun Qianche comforted him: "Don't worry, even if the Queen Mother suspected that someone was secretly imitating the voice of her grandfather, she would not have thought that it was a girl who imitated her. Xuan Yu is my junior sister, and I brought them to see the Queen. There’s nothing wrong, so she won’t be suspicious, and even if she is suspicious, there’s nothing she can do against them without evidence.”
Mo Qiqi nodded, feeling that his analysis made sense.
Jun Qianche stayed with Mo Qiqi for a while and then left. He still had a lot of things to deal with and really didn't have that much time to spend with her. Sometimes he really wished that he was an ordinary person so that he could be by his wife's side every day. But unfortunately, from the moment he was born, he was destined not to live a simple life like ordinary people.
After Jun Qianche left, Mo Qiqi continued to sit at the table under the tree and drink tea. In order for the child in her belly to be born smoothly, she decided not to run around during this period, lest anyone harm the child in her belly. .
But just because she didn't go out didn't mean that no one would come looking for her.
Just when Mo Qiqi had nothing to do and was learning how to make children's clothes with Banxiang, she saw the pretty and charming Gong Yaxian in a pink palace dress walking in and walking straight towards Mo Qiqi. The palace maid held a tray with snacks in her hand, which she could see from a distance.
Gong Yaxian came to Mo Qiqi and saluted: "Yaxian, meet the Queen."
Mo Qiqi's lips curved into a kind smile and said, "Yaxian, there's no need to be polite, come and sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gong Yaxian sat down at the table and saw Mo Qiqi making children's clothes. She smiled and praised, "Are you making clothes for the unborn little prince? Your Majesty is really ingenious."
Mo Qiqi shook her head and said: "Yaxian, don't praise me. I still learned it from Banxiang! In fact, I know nothing about needlework and have no talent in this area. I just thought that the child was about to be born. I wanted to prepare a gift for him, so I made this little dress.”
Gong Yaxian continued: "My wife is doing so well in school, and yet she can say she has no talent. It's really humbling."
Mo Qiqi smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. She used to think that Gong Yaxian was a very painful person, but now, she felt that that sentence was really good: poor people must be hateful. I can no longer like Gong Yaxian. And this dislike is not without reason.
In the past, when watching TV or in movies, there would mostly be a girl who looked very gentle and kind. However, such people often wore masks, and the face under the mask was very scary. At that time, I still felt a little bit... Exaggeration, a person with a bad heart will be able to be seen through no matter how he pretends.
But when I came here and met Gong Yaxian, I realized that there are actually such people in the world. They are better than the actors on TV, and they pretend to be more perfect, but no matter how perfect they are, they are still hypocrites after all. There will be flaws.
"Yaxian, please don't praise me. A quiet beauty like Yaxian must be a good actress. I am very self-aware."
Gong Yaxian shook her head: "Your Majesty, you are too generous. Yaxian's female celebrity is not good either."
"Yaxian is too humble. Yaxian, you haven't been here to play in a few days. Are you very busy?" Mo Qiqi asked with concern. But he sneered in his heart: He must be busy helping the Empress Dowager to harm the child in her belly!
Gong Yaxian said softly: "Yaxian has nothing to do. The weather has been cold recently, so she accidentally contracted the cold. My wife is pregnant and has a delicate body. Yaxian is afraid of infecting her, so she doesn't dare to come over." "
After hearing this, Mo Qiqi felt distressed and took Gong Yaxian's hand and asked with concern: "Why did you catch the cold? No one told me, how uncomfortable it is now?" Acting? Who wouldn't like it
"Thank you for your concern. Yaxian's cold has recovered." Gong Yaxian smiled softly, like a good girl. I couldn't believe that such a gentle and quiet girl could be a very scheming person.
"This will reassure me. Your health is not good and the weather is getting colder. You must keep warm and don't get sick again." Mo Qiqi asked with concern.
Gong Yaxian nodded: "Yaxian will do it, thank you Queen for your concern."
"We are all a family, there is no need to be so polite with me." Mo Qiqi smiled easily. In fact, there is no such thing as a family in the palace, and relatives will fight to the death, and Gong Yaxian has never regarded herself as a family.
Facing Mo Qiqi's words about family, Gong Yaxian's eyes flashed with confusion and she looked at the palace maid beside her.
The palace maid immediately placed the contents of the tray on the table.
Mo Qiqi looked at the snacks placed on the table and said happily: "It smells so good! Yaxian, you must have made this by yourself!"
Gong Yaxian smiled softly and said: "The Queen is lacking everything here. Yaxian can't do anything for the Queen. She can only make some snacks for the Queen to taste."
Mo Qiqi said embarrassedly: "Yaxian, you are just recovering from your illness and need more rest. Why are you working so hard to make snacks? I will feel sorry for you."
Gong Yaxian's smile was as gentle as ever: "Your Majesty, Yaxian's health has recovered and it won't be a problem. As long as your Majesty likes it, Yaxian's snack will not be in vain."
Mo Qiqi smiled and said: "Of course I like it. I can smell this fragrance from afar."
Banxiang was doing a routine inspection, but Mo Qiqi didn't stop her. Now she didn't trust Gong Yaxian, so she let Banxiang do the inspection.
After checking, Banxiang said it was ready for use. Mo Qiqi immediately picked up a piece and ate it, nodding her head: "It's delicious, Yaxian, thank you for the snack."
"Your Majesty, don't be polite to Yaxian." Gong Yaxian kept smiling gently.
The two chatted for a while, and Yaxian said she wanted to go back to serve the Empress Dowager, and stood up to leave.
Banxiang also helped Mo Qiqi stand up, looked at her and said, "Yaxian, wait a moment, I have something for you."
Gong Yaxian stopped, doubts arose in her heart, wondering what the Queen had to give her.
Mo Qiqi glanced at Banxiang.
Banxiang nodded and walked towards the palace. He came back soon and handed a delicate small wooden box to Mo Qiqi's hand.
Mo Qiqi took the delicate small wooden box, looked at Gong Yaxian and said, "Yaxian, I'll give this back to you."
Gong Yaxian looked confused, still? She didn't give anything to the Queen! So I didn’t answer it for a while.
Mo Qiqi opened the wooden box, and a faint fragrance came from inside.
When Gong Yaxian saw the contents in the wooden box, her eyes panicked for a moment, then she turned away and looked at Mo Qiqi in confusion.
Mo Qiqi smiled gently and said warmly: "Yaxian, you gave me this sachet. My sleep was really bad at that time. With this sachet, I feel much better. Thank you very much. Now I’m sleeping very well, so I don’t need it anymore, so I’d better return it to its original owner!” Gong Yaxian, I don’t want to explain many things clearly. In fact, it’s really not easy for you. You must have had a lot of troubles when you were dependent on others since you were a child. It's not easy. I don't know if you tampered with this sachet of your own free will or if the Empress Dowager forced you to do it. But I really don't want to believe that you, who looks so gentle and kind on the outside, are hiding behind your back. I have a heart of snakes and scorpions, so I return this sachet to you, hoping that you will find your way back.
Gong Yaxian took the wooden box and looked at the sachet inside, feeling very confused.
Watching Gong Yaxian walk out of Fengyang Palace.
Banxiang asked puzzledly: "Empress, why didn't you expose Miss Yaxian?"
Mo Qiqi smiled faintly and said: "Actually, it's not easy for her. If she is taken advantage of by the Empress Dowager, it's actually quite pitiful." A few days ago, Mo Qiqi's fetus was unstable, and the imperial doctor used it to protect the fetus. The medicine didn't work either. Later, when Mo Qiqi was lying in bed worrying, she saw the sachet hanging on the bed, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart. The Seven Sages and the Royal Physician had seen this sachet. They all said there was no problem, so she kept using it with confidence. There shouldn't be a problem with the sachet.
But think about it carefully, one time when she fell asleep, Gong Yaxian came to her bedroom and said that she would bring her snacks, and then waited for her to wake up. She didn't know that during the time when she fell asleep, Gong Yaxian Did Xian tamper with the sachet? After learning about the Empress Dowager, she also became wary of Gong Yaxian, so she took off the sachet and let the imperial doctor take a look.
As a result, the answer from the imperial doctor was: the sachet contains some spices that are prohibited for pregnant women, which will cause instability in the fetus and lead to miscarriage over time.
Mo Qiqi told the imperial doctor not to tell anyone about the sachet, including the emperor.
She was really disappointed at the time. She didn't expect that Gong Yaxian was also a scheming woman and would harm her child like this. At that time, I really wanted to tell Jun Qianche impulsively, but Jun Qianche seemed to be worried about things in the court at that time. Seeing that he was really tired, he held back and did not say anything. After all, he and Gong Yaxian had grown up together. If Knowing that this cousin wanted to harm his child, he must have been very disappointed. He didn't want to cause him any more troubles, so he didn't say anything and didn't expose Gong Yaxian immediately. With the Empress Dowager here, even if Gong Yaxian was exposed, the Empress Dowager would still He would help her find an excuse to get away with it. It was too easy. After all, no one saw her secretly changing the sachet. The sachet she gave her was not a faulty sachet, so she could only suppress the matter. For Mo Qiqi's character was really uncomfortable not to talk about things on her mind, but from then on, she became wary of Gong Yaxian.
She planned to find a suitable opportunity to tell Jun Qianche, but so many things happened recently that she forgot about it. If Gong Yaxian hadn't come today, she wouldn't have been able to remember it!
Seeing her as weak and gentle, Mo Qiqi really couldn't bear to deal with her. She helped the Empress Dowager get rid of the child in her belly. Perhaps she thought that it was her biological grandmother and she had no choice. She might not Knowing that his mother was not born by the Empress Dowager, and therefore being exploited by the Empress Dowager, he felt a sense of pity for her, so he did not directly expose her, but returned the sachet, hoping that she would turn around.
Gong Yaxian walked out of Fengyang Palace and looked at the sachet in her hand, thinking a lot. The queen returned the sachet to her and did not say anything. She only said that it was returned to its original owner, so she was not sure whether the queen knew about the sachet. has a problem.
But seeing that the queen's fetal image is now stable, it must be that she knew about the problem with the sachet, so she stopped using the sachet and the fetal image became stable. If that was the case, why didn't the queen expose herself? Although Mo Qiqi's personality is now very different from before, if someone wants to harm the child in her belly, she probably won't let it go easily! But she returned the problematic sachet to herself. What did she mean? Was she warning herself that she already knew, but spared herself this time? Or she knew her secret, so she didn't say anything.
Gong Yaxian's thoughts were disturbed.
There was indeed nothing wrong with the sachet given to her. It was just a soothing sachet. She also gave one to the Empress Dowager. Later, her grandmother found out that the empress also had one like this, so she asked her to find an opportunity to secretly take the empress's incense sachet. I changed the sachet and replaced it with this problematic sachet. I was very scared at the time. I was worried about being discovered. My grandmother told herself that there were so many palace people in Fengyang Palace. Even if the matter was exposed, they would insist that someone else had changed it. They had no evidence. , I couldn't do anything to her, so I listened to my grandmother and did this. When Mo Qiqi took a nap, she secretly changed the sachet and was about to leave, but saw that Mo Qiqi was about to wake up and had no time to leave. After going out, he sat at the table and said he was waiting for her to wake up.
In fact, she didn't want to kill the child in Mo Qiqi's belly, although she hated the Mo family very much, because her grandmother sent people to investigate over the years and learned that the person behind the destruction of their Gong family was the Zhen Guo Gong. Gong also liked his mother and proposed marriage to his grandmother, but his mother refused, saying that he had someone he liked and married his father, so he held a grudge and later wiped out the entire Gong family.
So she hated everyone in the Mo family, but she couldn't hate the child in Mo Qiqi's belly because she liked Brother Che and it was Brother Che's child, so she didn't want to make Brother Che sad.
But her grandmother told herself that the child was not the emperor's, but the child of Mo Qiqi and another man. She told her about the queen stealing a man in the observation tower and being caught by Brother Che himself, but she was worried about the emperor's family. For the sake of face, Brother Che suppressed the incident and did not punish Mo Qiqi. When that incident happened, she happened to go back to the south to visit relatives, so she was not in the palace. But after that incident, the queen was not grateful to the emperor for this, and continued to communicate with the man behind the emperor's back. Some palace officials saw the man entering the queen's palace late at night several times. According to the menstrual records in the Jingshi room, the queen was pregnant In the month when the child was born, the man went to the queen's palace several times, so the child must not be the emperor's.
Hearing this, Gong Yaxian was very angry and felt unworthy of Brother Che, so she decided to get rid of the evil seed in the Queen's belly. If she was allowed to give birth to the child, and the identity of the child was exposed in the future, everyone in the world would laugh at Brother Che for being betrayed. Cuckold.
But she didn't expect that Mo Qiqi would see through her sachet and fail to get rid of the child in her belly.
This matter needs to be discussed in the long run.
The days have calmed down again. Mo Qiqi's due date is getting closer and closer. She will be able to see the child in a month. I feel excited just thinking about it. After working hard for so long, I am finally going to meet the child. I hope not to What's wrong again.
Today is Mo Qiqi's birthday. Unexpectedly, my birthday is the same as my birthday in modern times.
According to regulations, the queen's birthday must be held grandly. When people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to tell her about it, Mo Qiqi refused, saying that she was pregnant this year and it was inconvenient, so she would just let it go.
Although she would miss the opportunity to receive many exquisite gifts, she endured it for the sake of the child in her belly.
You have to know that if there is a big birthday party, a lot of people will definitely come, and something might happen then! So for safety reasons, she can't pass.
Although the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were surprised, what the Empress said made sense. After all, the Empress was about to give birth. If something unexpected happened due to her birthday, they, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, could not afford it, so they left respectfully.
The fact that the Queen's birthday was not celebrated this year spread quickly. Some people were happy because they didn't have to worry about preparing gifts for the Queen. However, they saved a fortune, but others were disappointed because there was no chance to curry favor with the Queen and the Mo family.
Some people were unhappy because it disrupted their plans.
When the Empress Dowager and Gong Yaxian learned about this, they looked at each other and made everyone in the palace retreat.
Gong Yaxian looked at the Empress Dowager and said worriedly: "Grandma, what should I do? Mo Qiqi suddenly passed away, so our plan will have no chance to be implemented."
The Empress Dowager sighed and said: "It seems that Mo Qiqi has really changed. She used to love to show off so much, and she would try her best to make a big deal about her birthday. She was afraid that others would not know her empress's glory. This year, for the sake of her child, she did not celebrate her birthday. Now, this person who is about to be a mother is different. Since the Queen's birthday cannot be celebrated, the little eunuch bribed by the imperial kitchen to prepare his hands and feet in the Queen's meals can be eliminated without anyone noticing. So as not to reveal our affairs.”
Gong Yaxian nodded: "Yes! But it's only been one month since Mo Qiqi gave birth. Do we really want her to give birth to the baby?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed coldly, and she said coldly: "That child must not be kept. No matter whether he is born or not, the Ai family will not let him live. He is not the emperor's child and is a disgrace to the royal family, so I'm sorry The family will definitely get rid of him. Instead of letting others get rid of him, it is better for the emperor to get rid of him himself. The Ai family will consider this matter in the long run and will never let that child live in this world."
Gong Yaxian nodded in agreement.
Jun Qianche also got the news about the Queen's birthday this year, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a vague smile. The girl finally learned to restrain herself.
Jun Qianche has a lot of memorials to review today, so he has been busy in the imperial study room.
The day passed quickly. Seeing that the sun was about to set, but Jun Qianche hadn't come over yet, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and unhappy: Today is his birthday, and he hasn't been here all day. Did he forget it? ? After reading, remember: it will be easier to read next time, or.
