"Okay, okay, that's good." The Queen Mother looked at the two people in front of her, and the more she looked at them, the more they seemed like a perfect match.
"Gululu" Another sound came from Ye Qiqi's stomach.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Qiqi, only to see a look of embarrassment on her fair and pink face.
"Qiqi, are you hungry?" The Empress Dowager held back her smile, grabbed Ye Qiqi's little hand, and said to the emperor who was standing next to her: "I will take Qiqi back to my palace to have something to eat. Today’s concubine selection ceremony finally came out with a result that satisfies me.”
"Yes, Queen Mother, go ahead." The Emperor also looked at them with a smile on his face and nodded repeatedly.
After the Queen Mother said a few more words to the Emperor, she took Ye Qiqi's little hand and left first.
Mo Hanqing stood there, watching them leave, then turned his head and called out to the emperor in a faint voice: "Brother Emperor."
"Um?"
"The results of the concubine selection ceremony are out. Don't you plan to announce the results?" Mo Hanqing reminded him casually.
"Yes, yes!" The emperor was startled, and then he nodded quickly and said to Eunuch Su: "Go and ask the Zongsi Mansion to draw up a decree and tell the world that Princess Jing'an is the adopted daughter of Prime Minister Ye's family, Ye Qiqi."
"Yes." Eunuch Su smiled and bent down. After receiving the order, he hurried away.
Seeing Eunuch Su leaving, the emperor said some polite words to the people standing in the courtyard and asked them to stay in the palace for lunch.
Lin Yurou stood there unwillingly. Seeing Mo Hanqing standing next to the emperor with an indifferent expression, surrounded by a group of people congratulating him, she suddenly felt that it was a joke for her to attend the concubine selection ceremony today.
Ye Qiqi, please remember this!
Lin Yurou flicked the veil, and when no one paid attention to her, she quietly left.
After Mo Hanqing had lunch with the emperor, he went to the empress dowager's palace to find Ye Qiqi.
Ye Qiqi was sitting in front of the Empress Dowager's beauty couch. A pair of small hands kept taking the food placed on the small desk and bringing it to her mouth. Her fair and tender face was stuffed full of food, and her round face was full of food. Toot.
Until someone outside announced that "Prince Jing'an asked for an audience", she didn't pay attention and actually choked.
"Cough cough cough..." Ye Qiqi patted her chest hard and tried her best to swallow the food stuck in her throat. The Queen Mother quickly moved to her side and stretched out her hand to help her breathe.
"What's going on??" As soon as Mo Hanqing walked into the Queen Mother's room, the first thing he saw was Ye Qiqi stretching her neck and glaringly patting her chest.
"Qiqi choked." The Empress Dowager glared at Mo Hanqing with some complaints, pretending to be angry and said: "Why don't you come over quickly to see your future princess."
"Yes." Mo Hanqing responded lightly, strode forward and stood behind Ye Qiqi, then stretched out his hand and patted her back gently.
The Queen Mother looked at the scene in front of her with great satisfaction, then turned around and asked the maid standing beside her to pour some water for Ye Qiqi.
After Ye Qiqi tried her best to swallow all the food stuck in her throat, she didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, a maid handed her a glass of water, and she quickly took it and drank it.
When she finished her glass of water, she heard Mo Hanqing's cold and deep voice above her head: "Are you full?"
