"Who was talking just now? Come forward!"

Ji Huang hurriedly stood up and left the dragon throne, walking towards the crowded crowd.

"Ouch! Why are you standing around here if you don't do your own thing? Get out of here! Get out of here!"

The great eunuch Xin hurriedly came out to smooth things over and drove a group of palace maids and eunuchs out of the door.

"yes!"

After the crowd responded, everyone dispersed in a bustling manner, and no more whispers were heard in the crowd.

"Xin, who openly provoked me in the crowd just now? I give you an explanation within three days!"

When Xin heard this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

“Yes…………Yes………………”

His whole body was shaking, and he was trembling in response.

"And you! As the grand duke in charge of the palace, you actually do nothing in your position and allow them to be lawless. If I hadn't been so busy at the moment, I would have killed you all long ago. I will punish you by deducting this month's salary.

Cut it in half!”

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Xin kept talking like a barrage of promises, but in fact he had secretly wiped his hands with cold sweat several times.

"Go away!"

Emperor Ji waved his sleeves and looked solemn. He still had to deal with the difficult matter in this room just now!

Emperor Ji walked up to King Ying with his hands behind his back and slapped him hard across the face without saying a word.

"As a prince, you don't have the temperament to lead by example. What do you want to do?"

King Ying bowed his hands and immediately knelt down. Next to him, Xia Ruyan was still hugging the two concubines, sobbing.

"Your Majesty! I am not convinced! I am very dissatisfied!"

Concubine Jiang suddenly stood up and knelt down facing Emperor Ji.

"I would like to ask the emperor, is my son worse than the queen's son? Why does the emperor only beat my son? What did Ying'er do wrong?"

Hearing this, Emperor Ji was stunned for a moment, but shook his head and sighed.

"Honored Concubine! Look at the son you taught. How did he speak to me? And look at your own demeanor. As a concubine, except for your misbehavior, are you somewhat dignified and elegant?"

Just as Concubine Jiang was about to speak, Xia Ruyan next to her took a few steps forward and hurriedly knelt down: "I beg your father to please forgive me. In fact, my mother and concubine have been in poor health recently and are a bit angry. It's strange."

The child was not taken care of well, so he came in and was being nursed back to health! It is inevitable for the mother and concubine to be depressed, so I ask my father to be more considerate!"

Xia Ruyan's words made Emperor Ji's anger subside for a moment, and then she glanced at King Ying again: "The prince is also worried about you! So he must have been too impatient just now, so he spoke out of proportion, making you feel that he

It's disrespectful and disrespectful! This child will definitely go back and teach him well, don't worry!"

Emperor Ji's anger had calmed down a bit, and he flicked his long sleeves.

"It's really outrageous! Fortunately, I have such a good wife like you, otherwise I don't know how many more jokes you two would have made! Humph!"

Emperor Ji flicked his sleeves, pointed at Concubine Jiang and scolded: "I'll spare you this time, but next time I'll abolish the concubine position and throw her into the cold palace directly!"

Then, he turned his back and waved his hand: "Get out of here, everyone! Out of sight, out of mind!"

"yes…………"

After a while everyone dispersed.

Xia Lingyue held her child and walked out of the gate with King Lin. King Ying and Xia Ruyan supported Concubine Jiang and followed behind.

The two groups of them walked one behind the other on the winding palace corridor, Xia Ruyan caressing her huge pregnant belly with knife-like sharpness in her eyes.

"Sister, where have you been since you disappeared for so long? Many people are desperately looking for you! Do you know?"

Although Xia Ruyan said this, there was a dark shadow secretly flashing in her expression.

"I just went to the private sector to cultivate my mind and nature for a while. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to tell you when I left!"

Xia Lingyue changed hands with the child, gave her a perfunctory sentence, and continued to follow King Lin on her own path, without even bothering to look back.

"Oh... Really? You have done a really good job of cultivating your mind and nature. After you finished practicing, your child has grown so big! My sister is really envious of her!"

Her words were obviously sarcastic.

When Xia Lingyue heard this, she suddenly stopped leaving. She handed the child to King Lin aside and waved her hand: "Go and wait for me!"

"What do you want to do?"

King Lin held the sleeping child in his arms and seemed to smell an unpleasant smell of gunpowder. He tugged at the corner of Xia Lingyue's clothes worriedly.

"It's okay! We sisters are catching up on old times, just a few words."

She sneered and took a few steps closer to Xia Ruyan, with a slight curl at the corner of her lips.

"I didn't expect that my sister would get pregnant so soon. I don't have any gifts to give you as a meeting gift. Alas..."

Xia Lingyue sighed softly, but the sharp look in her eyes was something Xia Ruyan had never seen before.

"Hahahahaha... Yes! In fact, my sister doesn't want any greeting gifts. As long as she cultivates her health and returns safely, it's fine. Otherwise, she will really be sorry for many people!"

She was stroking her pregnant belly, with a half-smiling, half-frozen expression clearly showing a cruel look on her face.

"Sister, I also hope that you will have a good pregnancy! It is best that the baby in your belly can be delivered safely and smoothly, otherwise, how can you be worthy of the half sleeve of gauze in your hand?"

Xia Lingyue took out a piece of gauze fabric from her sleeve and waved it in front of her eyes.

"ah………………"

Xia Ruyan's face suddenly darkened and she panicked for a moment, but she quickly calmed down the uneasiness on her face and then smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Sister, you... Do you want to give your sister a meeting gift?"

The troubled Concubine Jiang Guifei on the side also suddenly became energetic. How could she not notice the panic on Xia Ruyan's face.

"What a welcome gift! Let me see it!"

Xia Lingyue quickly put away the piece of gauze sleeve fabric and smiled: "It's nothing! It's nothing! It's just a little secret of our sisters' boudoir. You'd better not think too much about it!"

Although Xia Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Lingyue's words gave her a severe blow.

"Thank you sister for remembering our sisterhood..."

Xia Ruyan said, bending down and saluting Xia Lingyue, Xia Lingyue smiled and stretched out her hand to caress her pregnant belly.

"My good sister, the baby in your belly must be delivered smoothly! Otherwise, how will we know if he looks like daddy?"

When Concubine Jiang heard this, she suddenly frowned angrily.

"What do you mean?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet! I'm in a hurry and can't eat hot tofu!"

Xia Lingyue smiled coldly again: "What I mean is that I don't know whether I look like my father or Zhang's mother. Is there anything wrong with that?"

King Ying couldn't hold himself back and suddenly said: "You guys slowly tell me the secrets of the boudoir. I am worried, so I won't accompany you!"

He cupped his hands at King Lin and smiled, then walked away.

"You guys can chat! I'm taking the kids back too!"

He said hello to Concubine Jiang and Xia Ruyan, then turned and walked away with the child in his arms.

"Huh! Men are all so virtuous!"

Concubine Jiang Guifei sneered at King Lin's back.

Xia Lingyue pretended to be disappointed, looking at Xia Ruyan's heavy pregnant belly in front of her, and then at the figure of King Ying in the distance.

"Yes! This is how a man behaves! It seems that he can only do what he likes!"

Xia Ruyan was no longer in the mood to compete with her, and she stood uneasily aside, her fingers so cold that they trembled non-stop.

Her messy thoughts had long since fallen into the memory of a heart-wrenching incident because of the half-sleeve incident...
