Xie Xun's eyes were fixed on Qin Fanghao's belly, and the look in his eyes was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger.
But Qin Rushuang keenly noticed that Xie Xun's body was a little stiff.
When he was only a few steps away from Xie Xun, Qin Fanghao seemed to be so excited that he stumbled over the skirt.
Xie Xun on the side immediately stood up and held her hand, his voice unconsciously filled with worry: "Slow down."
Qin Fanghao gave Xie Xun a grateful look, and then withdrew his hand like a frightened bird.
"Your Majesty, please don't do this. I'm afraid my sister will be angry."
The chill in Qin Rushuang's heart spread to the soles of her feet...
It happened that at this moment, Concubine Wan, who had been looking over here, suddenly said: "It's all my fault that I was not prepared well. I even forgot to prepare an extra seat for this person. I saw that she was really excited to see the prince. She was not careful just now."
I tripped and fell."
Concubine Wan looked at Qin Rushuang with a half-smile, "You two have a deep love for each other as sisters. Why don't you, Princess, give up this seat first so that your sister can have some rest?"
Will Qin Rushuang let it go?
of course not.
She sat firmly in the seat that belonged to her and said in a cool tone, "Not everyone can sit in the seat of the pregnant princess."
Concubine Wan covered her lips and smiled, "I have long heard that Princess Huai has a strong personality. Looking at it this way, it is true."
When Prince Huai's family affairs came to light, the one he was most worried about was the imperial concubine.
So the imperial concubine quickly asked her servants to bring another chair to the other side of Xie Xun.
Xie Xun seemed to be worried about the child in Qin Fanghao's belly, so he kept supporting her until the chair fell over, and then he slowly let her sit down.
The sound of people drinking and drinking continued, but everyone knew that the atmosphere in the hall was vaguely different.
Wan Bin seemed to think that the atmosphere in the hall was not anxious enough, and she spoke again as if she could not feel the strange atmosphere.
This time I said it to the emperor.
"Speaking of which, it is a good thing that the family's heirs are prosperous today, but how did I hear that Princess Huai's sister was just a maid in Prince Huai's palace? Now she is pregnant with Prince Huai's child.
Isn’t it time to change your position?”
When the imperial concubine heard her provocative words, she couldn't bear it anymore.
"When did it become Concubine Wan's turn to worry about my Xun'er's rear house? Concubine Wan is worried about other people's family affairs, so she might as well worry about the fourth prince's backyard. I heard that the fourth prince has taken in several concubines recently, Yingyingyan
Yan’s is very lively!”
Wanbi hurriedly said: "Oh! Why is sister angry? Don't be angry. It's not worth it to be so angry! In fact, it's not a matter of status..."
Concubine Wan turned her attention to Xie Xun: "I am mainly thinking that no matter what the identity of the mother is, the royal child should be of high status. If the child is born, the mother of the child will be just a maid.
This child will also have some influence in the future, which is not good, don’t you think so, Your Majesty?”
Emperor Qi frowned, as if he had taken in what he said.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the mother is more valuable than the child. If by the time the child is born, the mother will be just a maid, and the child will indeed be disgraceful.
So Emperor Qi spoke up and said: "What Concubine Wan said is reasonable. Second brother, you can't treat one favorably over the other. They are sisters, and they are both women in your concubine. You must not let your child be wronged after he is born."
Emperor Qi thought for a moment and said, "It's better to choose the day than to hit it. She is also the daughter of General Qin's family. Although she is just a concubine, she should be able to bear the title of a concubine. Let's take care of this after returning.
.”
"My son disagrees."
Before Xie Xun could speak, Qin Rushuang had already spoken first.
Xie Xun frowned and whispered: "Father King Jinkou, that is like an imperial edict..."
In fact, Xie Xun had been paying attention to Emperor Qi's expression on the dragon throne.
Today is the birthday of Emperor Qi, and no one with any sense will openly oppose Emperor Qi's opinions.
After Emperor Qi heard what Qin Rushuang said, his face turned displeased.
Fearing that Emperor Qi would anger Qin Rushuang, Xie Xun immediately stood up and said: "What my father said is reasonable. After my son returns home, he will reconsider her position in the back house."
Xie Xun said that, he only agreed to Emperor Qi's words, but did not say what position Qin Fanghao would be placed in.
This is already the best way he can do to protect the two of them.
But Qin Rushuang has never been the type to compromise.
When Xie Xun said this, one can imagine the anger in her heart.
How long has Qin Fanghao been gone?
It was so long that she almost thought Xie Xun had forgotten this person...
What should she say?
Should we say that Qin Fanghao and Bai Yueguang's position in his heart are really unshakable?
How long have you been back since?! We just met!
Xie Xun couldn't wait to improve her status, and he simply didn't take her as his wife seriously!
Qin Rushuang still said the same thing, "I don't agree."
She turned her head and looked at Xie Xun steadily: "Your Majesty must know my character. If I say I disagree, there is no way I will let go."
Xie Xun frowned: "Rushuang, don't make trouble."
The imperial concubine next to the dragon chair became anxious when she saw that Qin Rushuang had not agreed.
She was deliberately partial to Qin Rushuang, but where was she now? What was the situation?
How can one directly refute the emperor's words?
It was she who said quickly: "Rushuang, listen to your mother and concubine, and don't get angry with Your Majesty."
Don't make trouble, don't make trouble...
No matter what she appeals to, no matter whether she is right or wrong, Xie Xun always seems to only use these two words to dismiss her!
They asked her to take the overall situation into consideration, asked her to be patient in everything, and asked her to do everything against her own will. What did they take her to be?
Seeing the humiliated look on Qin Rushuang's face, Xie Xun couldn't bear it for a moment.
But when he looked up, Emperor Qi's face on the dragon throne was getting darker and darker.
Emperor Qi's birthday was originally a happy event, but now someone ignored his holy wishes again and again. Even if this person was the daughter of General Qin or Princess Huai, he was very unhappy.
Xie Xun was afraid that Emperor Qi would punish Qin Rushuang, so he took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "I understand what my father means, and I will arrange it after I return home. I dare not trouble my father and you sirs to worry about small matters in the rear house. Everyone
Your Excellency, let's raise a glass and drink together to wish our father a long life."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. When Emperor Qi saw this, his expression actually softened a lot.
Upon seeing this, the ministers below also stood up to congratulate him, and the hall was full of talking and laughing again.
Only Qin Rushuang in the corner is incompatible with all this.
Qin Fanghao on the side slowly approached Qin Rushuang while no one was paying attention, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are fine..."
