Chapter 452: The Abstinent Prime Minister vs. the Divorced Queen (17)

The end of the year is approaching, and the palace is decorated with lights and lanterns. Jiang Miao lies in the warm room of the Weiyang Palace, leaning on his hands and watching Zhiqiao and Zhiqing directing the young palace maids to hang up small lanterns in the courtyard.

On New Year's Eve, according to custom, the emperor would have dinner with the concubines, princes and princesses, and the empress dowager in the Qianqing Palace, symbolizing family reunion.

When Jiang Miao appeared in the Qianqing Palace in her best attire, she saw longevity lanterns and longevity couplets hanging inside and outside the palace, creating a warm New Year atmosphere.

When the concubines in the palace saw the queen enter, they all stood up and saluted.

"I have met the Queen."

Jiang Miao raised his hand lightly, "No need to be polite, just sit down."

As the concubines sat down, they took the opportunity to look at the Queen. Today, the Queen was wearing a red palace dress, which was luxurious and elegant. With just a little makeup, she was stunningly beautiful.

Concubine Cui gently stroked her belly and whispered, "Let's see how long you can stay so glorious!"

Many concubines saw the queen for the first time and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

The queen is so beautiful, she is simply born with natural beauty.

Then, several concubines began to find fault out of jealousy.

Her waist is so thin, but she wears the corset so tightly. It is obvious that she is a vixen and cannot be qualified to be the queen.

At 3 p.m., all the concubines arrived and waited in the palace for the emperor to arrive.

Jiang Miao sat at the desk. The system turned into a little white cat to accompany her. She chatted with Xiao 9 out of boredom.

[Host, Xu Yunqi is planning something bad, please be careful.]
The emperor and his concubines did not dine at the same table. The emperor sat at a golden dragon banquet table, the empress sat on the left, and the other concubines sat on the left and right according to their rank. So Jiang Miao was now some distance away from Concubine Xu, but he could clearly see the nervous look on her face.

Jiang Miao was very interested. She wanted to see what Xu Yunqi would do. It seemed that she had fueled the fire last time and made her impatient to take action.

"Xiao 9, I forgot to ask you, did Xu Yunqi and Chen Shaoyuan quarrel over the gift of the bracelet and the red hairpin?"

[It’s been a fuss! Tongzi, I even took a picture for you!]
Jiang Miao picked up an orange, peeled it slowly and ate it, then watched a movie.

When Xu Yunqi saw the queen wearing gold and silver and using jewelry to humiliate her, she was so angry that she had a big fight with Chen Shaoyuan.

Chen Shaoyuan was originally upset with Wei Jinchu and wanted to go to Ningxiang Palace to enjoy the comfort of Xu Yunqi, the sweetheart. However, she never expected to see Xu Yunqi sweeping the things on the dressing table to the floor.

"Yunqi, what are you angry about?"

"Your Majesty, please let me leave the palace. I don't want to be an eyesore to the Empress in the harem." Xu Yunqi cried.

Chen Shaoyuan frowned, "What does this have to do with the Queen?"

Xu Yunqi threw the bracelet and red hairpin to Chen Shaoyuan, but unexpectedly they hit Chen Shaoyuan's face. Seeing Chen Shaoyuan's gloomy face, she was frightened.

He stammered, "The Queen uses these things to humiliate me."

Chen Shaoyuan pinched his brows and asked, "Did the Queen give it to you?"

He asked the secret guard Liu Feng to come in and explain the matter clearly.

Liu Feng told everything, including what happened when Huo Changling came.

Chen Shaoyuan suddenly remembered that the Queen seemed to have mentioned to him that Concubine Cui should arrange a better accommodation for Concubine Xu, but he was too busy to remember it.

That stupid woman is always like this, she means well but ends up doing something bad.

However, he couldn't blame Jiang Miao. After all, she didn't know that he deliberately let Xu Yunqi live here.

Xu Yunqi stood aside, still feeling aggrieved when thinking about it, "Did she give it as a gift? She took what she didn't want."

"Yunqi." Chen Shaoyuan interrupted her, "This red hairpin and bracelet were used when I and the Queen got married. They were made by the royal family, and there is only one like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell silent. He couldn't understand why Jiang Miao would be willing to give away such valuable things, and these two pieces of jewelry had extraordinary meanings. They were like tokens of his and Jiang Miao's wedding.

Thinking of this, Chen Shaoyuan frowned even deeper, and a subtle feeling of uneasiness arose in his heart.

Xu Yunqi felt even more unhappy after hearing what Chen Shaoyuan said. A grand wedding! They had a grand wedding, but she had nothing. She still had to be grateful for the Queen's charity!

The angrier she became, the calmer Xu Yunqi became.

Now, the most important thing is to please the emperor and then get rid of the queen!

Jiang Miao watched the quarrel between the male and female protagonists and sneered, "Is Xu Yunqi trying to use an old trick from her last life?"

In her previous life, Xu Yunqi bribed the palace maids to pour wine on the queen, then had the palace maids lead the queen to a room filled with incense to change clothes, and then had a guard go in and defile the queen so that the scumbag emperor could catch them in the act.

[Host, you guessed it right. Xu Yunqi really bribed someone.]
Jiang Miao couldn't help but sigh at the powerful halo of the heroine. She was able to do such a dirty thing under the emperor's nose and get away with it.

Then, she would give Xu Yunqi a big gift.

As night fell, Chen Shaoyuan arrived at the New Year’s Eve dinner and the dinner officially began.

As soon as the meal started, Concubine Cui covered her mouth with a handkerchief and frowned uncomfortably.

The maid beside her asked nervously, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, are you feeling unwell?"

The Queen Mother looked over and asked, "What's going on?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty just ate some fish and has been feeling nauseous and vomiting."

"Let the imperial physician come and take a look." The empress dowager was an experienced person and saw that Concubine Cui looked like she was pregnant.

Just now, she was lamenting that the New Year's Eve banquet was too lonely without a child, and was about to ask someone to make some nourishing soup for Zhiyi to nourish her body so that she could get pregnant with a dragon heir as soon as possible.

The imperial physician felt the pulse and said quickly, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine is pregnant!"

"What did you say?!" Chen Shaoyuan's expression froze and he asked again in disbelief.

The Queen Mother called several more doctors over, "Nothing wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine is already one month pregnant."

Jiang Miao glanced at Chen Shaoyuan as if watching a good show and saw that his face was gloomy and his eyes were fixed on Cui Rudai.

As for Xu Yunqi, the handkerchief in her hand was almost crushed by her, and the eyes of the other concubines were full of envy and jealousy.

The Queen Mother had a look of joy on her face. Although she didn't know that Zhiyi was pregnant, she was still happy that there was a new baby in the harem.

"The most important thing for the imperial concubine now is to protect her own health. Someone, please remove the meat and wine in front of the imperial concubine's table and replace them with nourishing soup."

Chen Shaoyuan's gloomy face slightly restrained. He couldn't touch the Cui family now.
After the episode, the New Year's Eve dinner continued. After three rounds of wine, Jiang Miao was suddenly spilled with wine by the palace maid who was pouring the wine.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, it was really this trick.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I did it carelessly." The maid who was pouring the wine knelt on the ground and trembled with fear.

Jiang Miao started to act, "It's okay."

"Your Majesty, please let me take you to change your clothes. Don't catch a cold."

Not many people paid attention to this scene. After all, their attention was distracted by the fact that Concubine Cui was pregnant. Especially Chen Shaoyuan. He was probably still worried about how big the cuckold was.

Jiang Miao nodded slightly, "Okay."

The little white cat jumped into her arms, "Host, are you really going?"
