Pregnancy is fast: the charming heroine is pampered by the boss

Chapter 20 Crazy criticism of the tyrant VS the evil concubine who is causing harm to the country (20)

Zhu Zhan's wife, Ma, first glared at Yu Qi with jealousy and hatred, then frowned and looked at Zhu Zhan aside with a warning, then reached out and pinched his arm secretly.

Unlike others, the queen's eyes fell on Yu Qi's slightly bulging belly, and her face instantly turned a little pale.

At the top, the Queen Mother's desk is in the middle, Emperor Xuanyou's desk is on the right, and the Queen's desk is on the left.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xuanyou directly ordered someone to add a desk to his right side, took Yu Qi in hand, passed the queen directly, and placed Yu Qi on his right side.

After a while, today's birthday girl, the Queen Mother, arrived belatedly. After everyone greeted her, tonight's banquet officially started.

When it came time to present gifts, Emperor Xuanyou, the Queen, Yu Qi and other concubines presented carefully prepared birthday gifts, and then it was the turn of the clan, ministers and Jiedu envoys to present gifts.

"May the Queen Mother be blessed and safe. My nephew heard that the Neiqiu Qie Temple is very effective. This longevity Buddha was specially requested by my nephew. I wish you a long life!"

Zhu Zhan leaned over to salute and presented the treasure to the Queen Mother gracefully.

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up. She believed in Buddhism, and this longevity Buddha was sent to her heart.

"Get up, you are considerate. Has your father's health improved recently?"

The Jiedushi of Songzhou in Xuanwu Town was a younger brother of the Queen Mother. He was highly valued by the Queen Mother and was in charge of the military and civilian finances of Songzhou.

Two weeks ago, he was injured in a horse accident, so he informed his son that he was seriously injured and should not travel long distances, so he asked his eldest son Zhu Zhan to come to celebrate his birthday on his behalf.

"Although my father is still unable to travel long distances to the capital to celebrate his birthday, he is much better than before. He only needs to meditate for another month and he will be fine."

Zhu Zhan replied, his eyes falling on Yu Qi vaguely.

Yu Qi clasped her hands under the table, her face showing no trace, and her thoughts were surging in her heart. She would recognize this person even if he turned into ashes.

In his previous life, under the banner of admiring her, he led a group of rebellious ministers, followed many military governors to rebel at the same time, and became the final winner.

And her final outcome was that after suffering all the humiliation from their couple, she died from a cup of crane crown red given to her by his queen, Ma Shi.

Yu Qi looked at him with unclear eyes, and met his vague peripheral vision, and her heart tightened.

No, this is not normal. Why was he looking at her with eyes full of nostalgia?
This shouldn't be the look he would have when he saw her for the first time.

She was very sure that she had never met him before in this life.

"what happened?"

Seeing Yuqi deep in thought, Emperor Xuanyou took her hand and held it, but it felt a little cold.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

The Queen Mother also looked over. She was no less nervous about Yu Qi than Emperor Xuanyou.

After Yu Qi came to her senses, she shook her head at him first, then turned to smile at the Queen Mother, "I'm fine, I am fine."

The Queen Mother then withdrew her gaze, turned to face the people below and said with a smile: "Taking advantage of today's good time, the Ai family also has a happy event to announce, and I would like to rejoice with you all."

A princess who was used to being extremely close to the Queen Mother smiled and echoed, "My Queen Mother, what kind of happy event is this? It makes you so happy?"

In fact, everyone present had already speculated about this good news.

After all, no one present was blind, and it was not like they had not seen Concubine Chen's bulging waist.

as predicted.

The Queen Mother smiled with joy in her eyes: "Concubine Chen is already more than four months pregnant with the child. In a few months, the Ai family will have a precious golden grandson!"

When she said this, she felt quite proud.

After all, Emperor Xuanyou refused to set foot in the harem before, and the court was full of criticism. In recent years, some people have even proposed to select an adoptive person from the clan to stabilize the court. This proposal made the Queen Mother feel uncomfortable under the pressure of compliance, but she had nothing to do, and she could only delay it for another two years at most.

But the old god Xuanyou Emperor was here, and he didn't care at all. But she couldn't do it. How could she give the country she had worked so hard to give to others casually?
No matter what they think in their hearts, they all pretend to be happy and say nice auspicious words one after another.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Queen Mother..."

"The Queen Mother is kind... you will definitely get what you want!"

"...I have someone who will succeed me!"

"Concubine Chen is favored by Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. She is a blessed person and will definitely be able to win a man in one fell swoop!"

The Queen Mother laughed heartily after hearing this. Her mood at this moment was even worse than when Emperor Xuanyou ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Even Emperor Xuanyou's usually stern face was smiling at this time, and his eyes signaled everyone not to stop and continue talking.

Everyone had never seen Emperor Xuanyou look like this before. First they were stunned, and then they started praising him with their good words.

Amidst the joy, many people looked reluctant, such as the Queen family, who wanted more. Concubine Chen had a high status and was favored, so the Queen was afraid that she would not be able to snatch her children.

Princess Jincheng also looked very bad. This was not only because of her husband's family, but also because her only daughter had completely offended Yu Qi.

Before they could think of a way to deal with her, she became pregnant. What should they do?
Princess An Ning didn't think too much. All her thoughts were taken away by Lan Jiayou opposite.

Her eyes were obsessed with him. His appearance really appealed to her aesthetic point. Coupled with this dark red official uniform, it made her want him even more.

In this world, only he can be worthy of her, but...

Jealous and venomous eyes struck Zhou at his side, and she almost wanted to kill her and replace her.

Mrs. Zhou was raising her head, with a gentle smile, and whispered to the husband beside her, when she noticed a look full of malice.

She raised her head and followed the inverted eyes, and happened to meet Princess An Ning's gaze.

Lan Jiayou noticed that Ms. Zhou was looking straight at the opposite side, and followed her line of sight in confusion. Her brows couldn't help but frown, it was her again!
Zhou was the first to look away. Under the table, she held his hand tightly and silently comforted him with loving eyes.

This made Lan Jiayou relax unconsciously. He turned his head to look at her and smiled. He shook his head at her, indicating that he was fine.

The tacit understanding and affection between the couple caught the eyes of Princess An Ning, and her expression suddenly changed drastically, and she almost stood up and went crazy in public.

Princess Jincheng had been paying attention to her for a long time. Seeing this, she secretly held her arm and dug her sharp nails into her flesh.

Princess An Ning was forced to regain some sense by the stinging pain in her hands. After being warned by Princess Jincheng, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Above, Emperor Xuanyou was in a good mood and couldn't help but drink a few more drinks. At this moment, he was a little tipsy.

Yu Qi turned her head and said to Emperor Xuanyou, "Your Majesty, I feel a little bored and want to go out for some air."

"Okay, I'll stay with you."

Yu Qi quickly rejected him, "I am no longer a child, so I don't need your Majesty to accompany me. Besides, this is the Queen Mother's birthday party, how can you not be here?"

That was true, Emperor Xuanyou could only agree and told her to be careful.

Several people in the crowd watched Yu Qi stand up and leave, and then they left the table silently.

Zhou was accidentally spilled wine all over her body by the palace maid, and was led down to change clothes.

As soon as she finished changing her clothes, she went out and met Princess An Ning, who looked unhappy.
