Chapter 120
Seeing Lu Yungui's eyes wide open and a pimple formed between his brows, Xie Minmin felt displeased, no matter whether he was pregnant with a dragon fetus or not, he shouldn't have such an expression.

Then he raised Danfeng's eyes and asked weakly:
"What's wrong with me? The imperial physician might as well just tell me."

Hearing Xie Minmin's question, the surrounding concubines immediately silenced their voices, and the Queen Mother, who was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, also straightened her expression, and cast a questioning look at the two: "How is Concubine Xie?"

However, Lu Yungui didn't seem to hear the two people's questioning, and the finger on Xie Minmin's wrist didn't move.

Lu Wanlan knew that Fifth Brother would never lose his composure, let alone now that the Queen Mother was still in charge, so she pretended to have a bad throat and coughed.

It was only then that Lu Yungui realized that he had lost his mind, and hastily removed the fingers on Xie Minmin's wrist, and kowtowed to the ground:
"The empress is overjoyed."

"Oh? So Concubine Xie Guifei is really happy?" The queen mother's eyes shone with gold, and she stood up abruptly.

He still couldn't forget to tsk-tsk admiration in his mouth: "Good! God bless me for a long time! Everyone present today will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for the reward!"

All the concubines quickly knelt down to thank Xie Minmin, and looked at Xie Minmin enviously: "I really want to congratulate Concubine Xie."

Seeing this, Xie Minmin stopped holding it, and saluted the Queen Mother with a smile of a new mother on her face.

"Sit down quickly, don't move your tires."

After the queen mother finished speaking, she turned her graceful figure and glanced triumphantly at Concubine Shu, there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"Pooh!"

Concubine Shu didn't seem to notice it. After taking a sip of tea, she spit it out again, exuding an unfriendly aura.

A slight smile crept onto the corner of the queen mother's mouth unconsciously, she didn't speak, and then chatted with her daughters-in-law again.

Just as everyone in the hall was rejoicing, a voice pretending to be ignorant suddenly came from the corner:
"I don't know how many months pregnant Concubine Xie is. Doctor Lu may tell when the empress will give birth? This princess can also prepare a birthday gift for the little prince."

After Lu Wanlan finished speaking, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, under the butterfly-like eyelashes were the same calm eyes as before.

"Yes." These words sounded inappropriate, and they reminded the Queen Mother in a timely manner, "When can the Imperial Physician Lu diagnose Concubine Xie Guifei's pregnancy? How is the fetal image?"

"This..." Lu Yungui was at a loss for words.

Just now he was wondering, although he could diagnose Xie Minmin's happy pulse, but he couldn't diagnose the month of her pregnancy.I'm afraid there are side issues, so I didn't mention it.

But obviously, the younger sister didn't think so.

He didn't dare to turn his head to look at Lu Wanlan, so he could only bow respectfully again: "Mrs. Hui, my humble minister is incompetent. I can't diagnose the month of Concubine Xie's pregnancy. Maybe the noble concubine's month is still young, and my humble minister is not capable enough."

"Oh?" A question appeared in the Empress Dowager's eyebrows, and then she smiled again, "It's not impossible. Go and see the records in the respect room, and you can deduce the date."

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, no one else objected.

Immediately, Mammy Liu blessed her body and wanted to go to the respect room, but just as she walked to the door, she saw Eunuch Ning passing by her and hurried in.

Before he got to the side of the superior, he accidentally "thumped" on the front of the Empress Dowager's embroidered shoe, and almost lost his grip on the dust whisk in his hand, and his voice was even more anxious and uneasy: "My lady..."

Everyone present, including the Queen Mother, had never seen Eunuch Ning like this.

The deep and cold reprimand echoed in the hall: "It's a panic, how decent it is!"

Eunuch Ning, who knew that he had lost his sense of proportion, quickly got up and exhaled tremblingly: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The Holy Majesty is going to punish Lord Duan, Minister of Rites, with a court stick in front of the Meridian Gate."

There was silence in the hall, and the word "Tingzhang" exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

The aristocratic concubine, who had long been displeased with this passage of adults, was even more happy to watch the joke at this time.

"What's the matter with the adults, why did you make the Holy Majesty unhappy again?"

"This time it must be a big deal, otherwise how could you know the court stick?"

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no official has ever received such a humiliating punishment.

What's more, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival!

An old official was carried to the gate of the palace, his trousers were stripped off, and he was beaten with a board. It was really not decent!

The queen mother obviously changed her face when she heard this.Even if a minister of the Ministry of Rites makes a huge mistake, he should wait until he finishes his errands, and it will not be too late to call, what kind of trouble is this, my lord.

Not caring that there were still concubines present in the palace, he hurriedly asked: "Why did the Holy Majesty commit such a crime? What's the situation now!"

"This..." Eunuch Ning glanced around, "It's about the previous dynasty, can you say it?"

The Queen Mother lightly opened her phoenix eyes. This Eunuch Ning always asks this question at critical moments, which is really annoying.Then he replied impatiently: "But it doesn't matter!"

Eunuch Ning lowered his body to the ground, bowed his head and replied:
"Ms. Duan, at the gate of the palace early this morning, Mr. Duan somehow quarreled with Mr. Yao Ting'an, Minister of the Household Department, and later he did not go to the Huagai Palace to pay his respects to the Holy Majesty."

"Just because of this?"

The Empress Dowager obviously did not believe that Xiao Jingyu's emperor's appearance must be broad enough, and he would definitely not be a pillar of the country because of this incident.

"The Duan lord drove back to the mansion directly, took the official seal and made a big noise in the Huagai Palace, admonishing the Holy Majesty to death!" After speaking, he knelt on the ground, frightened and gathered together.

"Dead remonstrance!"

Hearing these two words, the Queen Mother finally couldn't sit still: "You go to the Royal Garden first to stroll around the garden, and come to Ai's house as soon as you go."

After finishing speaking, he quickly moved out of the hall with the support of Eunuch Ning.

The house full of concubines sent them off respectfully: "The concubines respectfully follow Yi's orders."

Xiao Yanzhi, who had been listening silently outside, slowly raised his eyelids, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate the door directly into the hall, until he saw the Queen Mother Feng driving out of the hall, he finally looked away.

Seeing him waiting outside, the Queen Mother didn't say much, just exchanged greetings and left in a hurry.

Immediately afterwards, the doors opened in front of his eyes one by one, and several concubines came out one after another. When they saw him, they were slightly taken aback for a moment, and then they covered their mouths and started laughing:
"Unexpectedly, King Yan is really caring for Wangfei. I don't feel at ease when my mother-in-law is there to protect her, so I insist on coming to take care of her personally."

"That's right! The newlyweds are like glue, and they are the ones you're talking about."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and saluted, but did not answer.

It wasn't until all the concubines in the room were gone that Lu Wanlan and Concubine Shu came out leisurely, with a suspicious Lu Yungui behind them.

"My lord?" Seeing his worried face, Lu Wanlan flew over like a bird, "Your lord didn't go to discuss matters with His Majesty, why did you come here? Is it because you are worried that something will happen to your concubine?"

Xiao Yanzhi didn't speak, Ning Yezi's robe swung in the air in an arc, turned around and left.

The villain behind him ignored Dowager Shu's warning with a smile, and followed.

This scene of husband and wife singing together happened to be seen by Xie Minmin who had just stepped out of the palace gate. She stood in a daze for a while, then smiled to herself with a bitter expression.

He heard it all...
