After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 119: Concubine Li, This is the First

At this time, most people for the birthday banquet had arrived. Qi Wuyou's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the concubines and princes and princesses around him to hear.

Qi Zi had been hiding in the corner before, but just now Qi Wuyou was "too excited" and stood up, exposing Qi Yan who was hiding behind her.

For a moment, everyone was talking at once, and gossip came like a tide.

"Look at her, how can she look like her mother has died?"

"She came to the birthday banquet right after her mother's death. Isn't she afraid that His Majesty will punish her?"

Another person smiled and said, "Maybe she came here just to see her husband."

"I heard that she was the one who killed her mother?"

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. A maid in my palace saw her rushing out that day. But within an hour, Concubine Ning died. No one would believe if she said it had nothing to do with her."

What he said made sense. Qi Wuyou seemed to look at the concubine who was speaking unintentionally. She looked familiar, but Qi Wuyou couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

Qi Yan's face had already turned as pale as a ghost. Seeing this, Qi Zi frowned and said, "Okay, shut up."

All of a sudden, everything around was quiet.

Qi Yan looked at Qi Zi hatefully, and Qi Zi apologized, "I'm sorry, sister, it's my fault."

In fact, Qi Zi was so happy that she was about to burst into tears. Wasn't she usually pretending to be noble? She wanted to see how she could still be noble now.

Qi Yan's handkerchief was about to be torn, but she still smiled to show her magnanimity, "Nothing."

Qi Wuyou said "worriedly", "Sister, is what they said true? Is it really you who killed Empress Ning..."

Qi Yan subconsciously denied, "No, it's not me." But this denial made things even more obvious.

Qi Wuyou frowned, covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and tears fell down, "Why? Queen Ning treats me so well, and she is my biological mother, why do I have to..."

Qi Wuyou acted out his grief vividly, and after finishing his lines he stumbled backwards and fell into Xuan Yelan's arms.

Although none of Zhou Wei's men dared to look over here directly, they were paying attention to the movements here.

Qi Yan complained about Qi Wuyou's ignorance and blamed the eunuch who arranged the positions for them to be together.

Of course Qi Yan didn't know that this seat was specially arranged by Qi Wuyou. After all, the person who arranged the seat was someone from the Queen's Palace.

To the left of Qi Wuyou is Qi Zi, and to the right is Concubine Yin.

This was the emperor's birthday banquet, and even if the empress was unwilling, she had to dress up and attend with the emperor. At this time, Concubine Yin could only sit with them.

Now it was like putting Qi Yan on the fire, no matter what she answered, it would be wrong.

Everyone thought she was trying to cover up something, and what's more, Ningpin's death was indeed related to her, and she had no way to defend herself.

Qi Yan was caught off guard by the concubine's words just now. She was afraid that someone really saw it.

Qi Yan stammered, not knowing how to respond, when she heard the eunuch loudly announce, "Your Majesty, Queen, the Imperial Concubine has arrived."

Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and followed everyone in bowing silently.

Qi Wuyou had no choice but to let her go. She looked at the graceful and elegant Concubine Yin who was smiling happily, and sneered secretly.

This was the first time Qi Wuyou saw the queen. The lady with kind eyes looked like a bodhisattva walking out of a painting. Compared with her, Concubine Yin was like heaven and earth.

Qi Wuyou looked around and couldn't help but wonder why the Fourth Prince and the Tenth Prince didn't come?

When Concubine Yin saw that her seat was at the bottom, she could no longer laugh, but she couldn't get angry either, so she could only sit down obediently.

How could a proud Concubine Yin have ever suffered such an injustice? She has always sat with His Majesty.

She looked at the queen with fierce eyes. The queen must have noticed her and just glanced at her indifferently.

Being ignored, Concubine Yin became even angrier, but she could only hold it in.

Qi Wuyou silently gave the queen a thumbs up. How awesome! Is this the majesty of the principal wife?

Everyone first complimented each other, and then it was time to present gifts.

After the court officials had presented their offerings, it was the envoys' turn. This time, Qi Wuyou prepared a jade Guanyin inlaid with gold.

What the concubines gave as gifts were nothing more than dances that they had rehearsed and calligraphy and paintings that they had painted themselves.

Concubine Li had been frowning since she started presenting gifts. Damn it, she had completely forgotten to prepare a gift. She looked at Concubine Rou with a resentful look on her face, "Why didn't you remind me?"

Concubine Rou spread her hands and said, "I forgot too."

Concubine Li pouted, "What should we do then?"

Concubine Rou shook her head, secretly regretting how could she have forgotten the most important step.

After the concubines of lower rank had presented their gifts, it was the turn of the concubines of higher rank.

The virtuous concubine presented a string of Buddhist beads to the old emperor. He frowned but said nothing.

I thought, is this Concubine Xian hinting that he should calm down and avoid greed, anger and ignorance?

Concubine Li and Concubine Rou looked at each other helplessly. They both stood up, linked their arms and walked to the emperor with empty hands.

Qi Wuyou slapped his forehead. Could it be that these two people have not prepared anything?

The Emperor of Qi obviously thought so too. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Just as he was about to have them dragged away, Concubine Rou knelt down and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty."

This operation confused everyone present. The Emperor of Qi coughed twice and suppressed his anger. Seeing this, the Queen waved her hand and said, "Okay, go down."

Concubine Rou did not move, but nodded to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to ask me why I congratulate you?"

The Emperor of Qi was confused. He glanced at the Queen and asked, "What's the matter?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Li bowed shyly and awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant," she said while touching her belly, with a look of peace and tranquility on her face.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Qi Yan was full of disbelief, but then she thought, everything has a traceable path, no wonder he can eat so much.

Concubine Yin almost crushed the cup in her hand.

The Emperor of Qi was stunned for a moment, then he stood up and asked excitedly, "Really?"

Concubine Yin spoke before Concubine Li did, and said in a chilling voice, "Concubine Li, it has been a long time since you have been favored. How old is this child?"

Concubine Li ignored Concubine Yin's words and looked at Emperor Qi and said word by word, "The child is more than two months old."

As Concubine Li spoke, her thoughts wandered away. She touched her belly with a happy look on her face. "Strangely enough, this child is very well behaved. He didn't make any noise or trouble in my belly."

"If Sister Rou hadn't noticed my increasing appetite and was worried about me, she would have gone to the imperial physician. I wouldn't have known that there was a glutton hiding in my stomach."

When Concubine Li found out she was pregnant, she asked Concubine Rou to find an imperial physician for her. The physician's diagnosis was the same as that of the Ninth Prince, which was also more than two months.

Concubine Li also told the imperial physician not to tell anyone, saying that she just wanted to give the emperor a surprise. The imperial physician did not think otherwise and agreed.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the emperor again, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this gift?"

More than two months ago was the time when Concubine Li was favored. The Emperor of Qi naturally understood, "Satisfied. Very good, very good."

In recent years, he has favored many women, but none of them became pregnant. Concubine Li is the first one.
