After New Year's Eve, the Yu Dynasty would enter a seven-day recess.
Queen Xu woke up from her dream. She had not slept peacefully last night and did what she did. Fortunately, it did not cause a big disaster.
Xiaoyao Wang Junze drank Gu Yu's wine by mistake. As a result, he lost his footing and fell into the cold Goddess Lake. The heat from the aphrodisiac was washed away, and even the imperial doctor failed to diagnose him.
An unexpected combination of circumstances allowed Gu Yu to escape.
There was also Ji Miaoxian. She had long heard that Ji Miaoxian was as beautiful as a fairy. She wanted her beauty to leave an impression on the Holy Emperor, and then asked a palace maid to deliberately wet Ji Miaoxian's dress while serving wine.
Let Ji Miaoxian go out to change clothes and find a few inconspicuous dandies to prove Ji Miaoxian's innocence.
Unfortunately, Ji Miaoxian didn't know what went wrong, and he didn't succeed.
After all the hard work, none of the games worked out, which made Empress Xu very disappointed.
There won't be many opportunities like this in the future.
Empress Xu rubbed her head and called: "Sixue, wait for me to wash up."
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and all the palace concubines are coming to pay their respects.
Si Xue walked in with a wet handkerchief. Queen Xu took it and put it on her face. The warm and wet handkerchief with the fragrance of plum blossoms made Queen Xu sober up.
After taking off the veil, Empress Xu saw Sixue's expression of hesitation.
Queen Xu asked: "What's wrong?"
Sixue babbled, glanced at Queen Xu's huge belly, and didn't dare to say anything.
Queen Xu's temper became even more irritable and she said: "Say!"
Sixue said tremblingly: "Queen, you are pregnant, why don't you worry about seeing those people today and let them all go back."
Queen Xu threw the handkerchief into the washbasin and said angrily: "I am the queen of the middle palace. Even if I lose the palace power, I am still the lord of the palace and the mother of the country. How can I not see her?"
Sixue quickly knelt down to apologize and said, "This is not what I meant."
After all, she was the palace maid who had always been by her side. Empress Xu had no intention of arguing with her, and said: "I am waiting on you to dress up."
Sixue knelt on the ground and trembled. Seeing that Queen Xu was like this, she had made up her mind to see the concubines. Rather than being suddenly stimulated when she saw the people, it was better for her to tell Queen Xu in advance so that Queen Xu could be mentally prepared.
Sixue raised her head and said: "Empress, I want to tell you something. You must think about the dragon fetus and don't get angry."
Empress Xu's expression changed. Sixue must be hiding something important from her, thinking that she had just stopped her from accepting the palace concubine's visit.
Queen Xu said: "What did Concubine Zhao do?"
Sixue shook her head.
Empress Xu added: "Then the Holy One didn't come to my house yesterday, so he was amputated by that cheap hoof? Wow, she even dared to intercept people on New Year's Eve. I think she has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard! Even Zun Zun
I don’t even know how humble I am.”
Queen Xu may not care that His Majesty did not rest with her last night, but on New Year's Eve, His Majesty must not be with other concubines.
This is a slap in her face.
Although Queen Xu was angry at the moment, she was more than angry.
But Sixue did not shake her head, but still knelt and bit her lower lip. It seemed that it was Empress Xu's guess, but it was not entirely true.
Queen Xu said sternly: "Say! Who is it!"
Sixue said: "It's Miss Xu."
Queen Xu was stunned for a moment, what else was she thinking about, Miss Xu?
Then she reacted and said in disbelief: "What do you mean?"
Sixue said: "The person who served the Holy One last night was Miss Xu. This morning, the Holy One issued an edict to confer Miss Xu as Beauty Xu."
There was a "crash" sound.
Everything on the table was swept to the floor by Queen Xu.
Hatred surged in her eyes as she said, "Xu Dairou!"
After saying that, Queen Xu felt a pain in her stomach, and she leaned back on the chair and turned pale.
Sixue was startled and shouted outside: "The imperial doctor! Call the imperial doctor!"
Empress Xu said sternly: "Shut up, what are you asking the imperial doctor to do at this time! Do you want the whole palace to see my joke?"
Sixue looked at Queen Xu's belly nervously, then quickly took out the pregnancy pills for Queen Xu to take.
Queen Xu took the medicine, and the pain in her stomach subsided a little, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Dairou! Xu Dairou! I actually led a wolf into my house!"
Sixue also didn't expect that Miss Xu, who was usually cute and flattering, would dare to do such a thing.
Sixue said with tears in her eyes: "Queen, please take care of yourself and the dragon fetus."
Queen Xu breathed heavily and frowned.
Sixue hurriedly said: "Empress, Miss Xu may have something unspeakable yesterday. You might as well ask her in private."
Queen Xu sneered.
Seeing that this lame excuse could not fool Empress Xu, Sixue said bravely: "Empress, this is not necessarily a bad thing. The empress is pregnant now, and when the time comes to give birth to the little prince, she will have to rest for at least a few months.
In the past few months, it would also be good if Miss Xu could help my empress win the favor of the Holy One, after all, we are all members of the Xu family."
Si Xue put it euphemistically, how can the current queen still have grace? If this child hadn't come in time, she might still be restrained by the Holy Emperor.
But Empress Xu no longer cares about this favor. She has two royal heirs by her side, and her position as queen is indestructible, so she doesn't have to rely on the Holy Emperor's illusory favor.
There is no need to imitate the virtuous and virtuous virtues of being filial to the queen as before.
But Sixue said it right. Without favor, it would be difficult for her to fight for anything for the two emperors in the future.
Queen Xu is not unaware of the importance of pillow style.
This was also the reason why she had tried so hard to send people from her group to the Holy One.
No matter what, Xu Dairou is the daughter of the Xu family. If Xu Dairou was a smart person, he would have known that the Xu family now relies on her and the ninth prince she gave birth to.
It's just that she is really disgusting.
He originally wanted to let Xu Dairou destroy Gu Yu, but now not only did he not succeed, but he was bitten back.
Xu Dairou's past docility and flattery were all pretending. Underneath her beautiful skin was an unfamiliar wolf.
Queen Xu felt uncomfortable for a while and said: "Help me go over."
Sixue was relieved to see that Queen Xu had figured it out.
Sixue carefully helped her walk while whispering: "Queen, the most important thing at the moment is to control Miss Xu's thoughts, and we must not let her have any quarrel with you."
Queen Xu was upset, but she also understood the truth. Xu Dairou was a young girl with an impetuous mind. If she showed a little disgust at this time, Xu Dairou would be frightened and easily attracted by others.
Blood ties are the bond that maintains their interests, but this bond is very weak.
Her relationship with the brothers of the Xu family is not good. Once Xu Dairou becomes pregnant, the Xu family will inevitably have other thoughts.
And she is the daughter of the Xu family, and Xu Dairou is also the daughter of the Xu family.
She can give birth, and Xu Dairou can naturally do the same.
Naturally, the men in the Xu family are more inclined towards Xu Dairou than themselves.
Thinking of this, Queen Xu's eyes flashed with fierceness, and the hand on Sixue's arm unconsciously tightened.
Queen Xu said: "Don't worry, she is my niece, I will naturally let her understand that in this harem, I am the only one who can rely on her."
Sixue endured the pain and quietly looked at Queen Xu, guessing what she meant.
