The king was wrong

Time has passed, and time flies like an arrow. Since Qi Songjin lost his youngest son in that year and made a resolute vow, another seven years have passed.

In the past seven years, Qi Songjin exhausted all her efforts and finally ascended to the throne of queen as she wished. She killed Dong Jieyu with her own hands, and let her also taste the pain of losing love when Shu Zhaoyi, who was later Concubine Shu, was pregnant in eight months. Son, life is worse than death.

It's a pity that although she successfully avenged the loss of her son, she never got pregnant again.Over the years, Qi Songjin has sought countless doctors, all she wanted was to conceive another child to make up for the vacancy in her heart, but God seemed to be joking with her on purpose, only willing to give her the highest honor of being under one person and above ten thousand people. He just refused to give her another child.

But now, at the age of 26, she was told by the imperial doctor that she was pregnant again!One can imagine how ecstatic Qi Songjin was when he heard about this.

Of course, she was not the only one who was happy. It is said that when the emperor heard that the queen was pregnant, he didn't even go to court in the morning. He left the ministers and went straight to Fenglai Palace. The medicinal materials are used to nourish the queen's body, and it is necessary to let the first son-in-law of the royal family land safely and healthy.

And the timing of the queen's pregnancy was also good, just in time for the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.So the emperor patted the table, this feeling is good, the queen is happy and the Mid-Autumn Festival is added, the joy is added to the joy, the whole country celebrates together, it should be a big feast, and celebrate it!

In this way, as soon as the emperor Jinkou opened, he decided that this year's double happiness will come to Chongqing.I just feel sorry for a group of officials from the Ministry of Rituals who took orders at the critical moment. They have been as busy as a spinning top these two days, forcibly doubling the scale of the ordinary Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Speaking of palace banquets, according to the system, every year the officials invited to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet will bring their wives and children to the palace for the banquet, and this year is no exception.

But when it was King Yong's turn, the problem came.

In the past few years, because Wei Yanxi had never married a wife, whenever there was a Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, she would go alone and go to the banquet alone.But this year is different, King Yong has married a wife, the second son of Duke Sheng, the younger brother of the queen, he shouldn't go alone anymore, right?

No, just because of this, Qi Yaoqing was finally lifted by the prince this afternoon from the half-month ban, and asked him to go to the main courtyard to discuss matters related to the palace banquet.

He didn't hesitate, changed into ordinary clothes and took Menghan with him.It's just that he didn't expect that when he really arrived at the main courtyard, Qi Yaoqing found that besides himself, Wei Yanxi called Xue Hanxue, Linglong and Wu Ranyue.Especially Xue Hanxue, who was wearing a watery and rice-colored gauze skirt today, was leaning over Wei Yanxi's side shyly to feed him tea cakes.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yaoqing frowned slightly, and paused for a moment, but after a while, he lowered his eyes calmly, walked up to Wei Yanxi and bowed, "I have seen the prince."

Wei Yanxi didn't even look at him, she opened her mouth and bit down the tea cake that Xue Hanxue handed over, then turned her eyes unhurriedly, nodded and said: "Princess, don't be too polite."

Hearing this, Qi Yaoqing got up, without any expression on his face, and his eyes were still lowered, as if he hadn't noticed the scene of the two getting along in front of him, and stood there leisurely.

It's just that Qi Yaoqing slowly clenched his fists in the armhole that no one else could see.

Wei Yanxi's move is actually making things difficult for him.A trace of helplessness flashed in Qi Yaoqing's eyes, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart.

What happened that day was indeed due to my lack of thoughtfulness and my own mistakes. It is understandable for Wei Yanxi to be angry and punish him for grounding.It's just that he was angry and punished, so why did he do what he did today.

Qi Yaoqing knew very well in his heart that it was only a few days before Wei Yanxi could not leave his little sister Qi whom he had missed for ten years and fall in love with Xue Hanxue instead, so what he did just now was deliberately doing it for himself.

Why, did he think he would be jealous like ordinary concubines?

Qi Yaoqing was angry and funny, but besides being funny, she was also faintly disappointed.For some reason, the intimacy between Wei Yanxi and Xue Hanxue fell into his eyes just now, and there was a dazzling feeling for no reason, which made him want to look away.

It's like... that person's hand should only be stretched out to me, and that person's arms should only be opened to me...

Qi Yaoqing shook his head vigorously to shake off these strange thoughts.When did I become like a woman, so sentimental?

He kept his eyes down and stood quietly aside, no matter how affectionately the two principals interacted with each other, he would not take a look at them.But in fact, Wei Yanxi's gaze has never deviated a bit since he entered the door.He kept glancing at Qi Yaoqing from the corner of his eye, taking in all his every move, demeanor and expression.

At the moment when Qi Yaoqing frowned, Wei Yanxi squinted his eyes. Did he misread just now, to see a trace of... loneliness in the eyes of this princess who always treats him distantly and indifferently?

In fact, Wei Yanxi herself can't tell what the intention of what she did today is.After falling out with Qi Yaoqing that day, he has been deliberately not going to see him or think about him these days, telling himself over and over again that this princess was forced by the emperor's brother to marry him for expediency, and that sooner or later he will have to divorce, and he has no reason to follow her. He is angry.

But with the passage of time, His Royal Highness Yong found that the more he was unwilling to think about it, the more he often thought about it in the end, so that he felt that his shadow was everywhere around him, lingering like a shadow.

If before Wei Yanxi could deceive himself and others to think that he had such a feeling because Qi Yaoqing looked like little sister Qi, now even he himself felt something was wrong.

In his mind, he spends less and less time thinking about Miss Seven, and instead thinks about Qi Yaoqing more and more, as if he has fallen into a demonic disease. While telling himself that he doesn't need to pay attention to his affairs, he can't help letting The secret guard secretly went to the princess's courtyard to watch, and reported his current situation to himself once a day.

This kind of worrying about gains and losses is very similar to those women who are new wives, all their hearts and eyes are full of the shadow of the same person.

So he deliberately indulged Xue Hanxue, allowing her to trample all the people in the palace under her feet with her own love and ignore her.He wanted to use another person to distract him, but the result was just the opposite. The more he resisted, the more he would think about it. No matter what he did, as long as he raised his head, he could see the light blue figure.

Qi Yaoqing was always a foot away from him, standing silently, just like this now.

"The princess should know the news from the palace. The queen is pregnant, and it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be a palace banquet in six days. All the officials in Kyoto are required to bring their wives to the banquet according to the regulations."

Wei Yanxi turned his eyes away, casually fiddled with the black jade wrench on his hand, and said casually: "This king has always gone alone, but since he married the princess this year, he can't be like this. The princess has to be with this king. go together?"

After he finished asking, the room fell silent.

Linglong and Wu Ranyue, who had been standing silently by the side, didn't make a sound. The palace banquet was a big matter, and they were not allowed to participate in it. Besides, they still couldn't figure out why the prince sent someone to call him here today. .

Xue Hanxue, who was leaning on Wei Yanxi's side, was originally peeling oranges for the prince, but when he heard this, he stopped his movements and looked straight at Qi Yaoqing.As the concubine's daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, she always went to the palace with her parents for banquets. Now that she is married to Prince Yong's mansion as a concubine, it stands to reason that she no longer has the qualifications to enter the palace for banquets, but if the princess can't go...

There was a sneer on the corner of Xue Hanxue's mouth, it seems that in the next few days, she will have to think of ways to drag Qi Yaoqing down before the palace banquet.

Hmph, so what if you are the princess, I still have a way to make you lie in the mansion without moving.

On the other hand, Qi Yaoqing, who was still lukewarm before, stood in the center of everyone's line of sight for a long time, then suddenly sighed softly, and saluted: "Forgive me, my lord, the weather has turned cold from summer to autumn these days, and I was negligent for a while. Occasionally feel the wind and cold, it is the time when it is severe, I am afraid that the banquet will spoil the prince's happiness."

As soon as he said this, the audience was in an uproar, and even Menghan, who had been standing peacefully behind him with her head down, couldn't help raising her head slightly, looking at her young master worriedly.

This time is not just an ordinary Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but also a special banquet organized by the emperor to celebrate the empress's happiness. The young master is the empress's younger brother, and he has just married Prince Yong as his concubine. How can you say that you don't go to the banquet at this time? It's all unreasonable.

Qi Yaoqing was well aware of Menghan's worries, but he naturally had his reasons for doing so, so he just turned slightly to his side and nodded towards Menghan, signaling her to be at ease.

"So the princess means not to go?" Sitting on the seat, Wei Yanxi asked coolly.

"Yes, I'm guilty, please forgive me." Qi Yaoqing replied calmly.

"Well, the concubine is not feeling well and cannot attend the banquet. This king will tell me." Wei Yanxi's eyes darkened, and a wave flashed in her eyes.He ignored Qi Yaoqing, and suddenly cast his eyes on Xue Hanxue who was at the side.

"Since the princess can't go, let the side lady take her place."

Xue Hanxue was stunned when she heard this, and even the half-peeled orange in her hand fell to the ground with a "click", rolled twice and stopped at Wei Yanxi's feet.

"Wang... my lord, this..."

She was still a little bit overwhelmed all of a sudden, she didn't expect that what she had been planning for so long was now so easy to get!

"You don't need to say more." Wei Yanxi waved his hands impatiently, "That's it. It's hard work calling you all here today, let's go away."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the inner room with his hands behind his back.He just took two steps, and suddenly stopped as if thinking of something, and looked back at Qi Yaoqing.

"The weather is getting colder, the princess is not in good health, remember to wear more clothes."

After saying this, he completely disappeared from the sight of everyone.Only Linglong and Wu Ranyue, who remained silent but couldn't hide their astonishment, Xue Hanxue, who looked astonished, and...

Qi Yaoqing was still standing still with downcast eyes.
