Di Ji Daughter

Chapter 167 Your Majesty

main courtyard of the palace
From far away, Shui Qingyue saw Ye Gongtuo wearing a dark green and silver-edged bird embroidered dress, standing beside Bai Lingqing in a heroic manner, giving her some orders with an indifferent expression.After that, there are all the ladies who are dressed up and dolled up.

With just one glance, Shui Qingyue hastily withdrew her gaze, and walked towards Jin Zhong, the chief eunuch who had no expression on her face: "Eunuch Jin has been waiting for a long time!"

Hearing this, all eyes in the courtyard fell on Shui Qingyue for a while.

Although the wives of the courtyards headed by Bai Lingqing didn't like her very much, they didn't dare to be presumptuous and rude regardless of her status, especially in front of the prince.After bowing slightly to her and saluting, they all stood aside.

Staring at her blankly for a moment, Ye Gongtuo frowned tightly!Has she cried for a long time?Today, I have applied such thick powder on my face, but my eyes are still so swollen!

The moment his eyes fell on Shui Qingyue's face, Jin Zhong was obviously taken aback, and then smiled slightly: "There, since the concubine has arrived, the old slave will start to read the emperor's imperial edict!"

"Yes!" Responding, Shui Qingyue bent her knees and prepared to kneel down.

Seeing this, Jin Zhong hurriedly stopped her: "Princess, the emperor has a decree, you are pregnant, and you will be exempted from kneeling to the concubine from now on!"

Immediately, the other women in the courtyard shot straight at Shui Qingyue with sharp eyes like knives.Why?Why is it that she is pregnant in less than a year after marrying into the palace, and she deserves such grace from the emperor!But they...they didn't even have the chance to really serve the prince!
She glanced at Jin Zhong in surprise, and then Shui Qingyue stood up slowly: "My son, thank you, father, Huang Long!"

Jin Zhong didn't say much, just smiled at her again, and directly opened the imperial decree.

Seeing this, all the people in the courtyard knelt down one after another, waiting for the imperial decree, except for the water pouring into the moon from the emperor's grace.

Glancing at everyone, Jin Zhong opened his lips indifferently and said, "By God's fortune, the emperor ordered that the eighth princess is pregnant with a dragon grandson and is a hero of the royal family. Therefore, I bestowed two boxes of century-old ginseng on the eighth prince's mansion, two snow lotuses from Tianshan Mountain, and one jade wishful." Yes, ten strings of agate necklaces and ten bolts of brocade silk..."

Hearing about the reward, the wives of each courtyard turned red with jealousy.It seems that he can't wait to take all those treasures for himself.

Ye Gongtuo didn't react too much to this, but squinted at Shui Qingyue beside him thoughtfully.That child, she shouldn't let him be born, right?
After listening to the emperor's reward with an expressionless face, Shui Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then slightly lowered her head to thank her again: "I thank my father for the reward!"

Handing over the imperial decree to Shui Qingyue, Jin Zhong said again: "Eighth Princess, Your Majesty still has an oral order!"

Shui Qingyue said nothing, but looked at him suspiciously, waiting for him to continue.

"Because you are the only eighth concubine in my dynasty who can speak Hangu country's language, so before the end of the Wendan Festival, the emperor hopes that you can represent Zuo Xiguo to receive the distinguished guests of Hangu country!" Jin Zhong's tone was very gentle, as if pleading , not ordered.

Closing her eyes, Shui Qingyue nodded: "I just don't know when to start?"

"What the emperor means is that if the princess is in good health now, she can go to Han Gu Kingdom's post station in Zuoxi at this time.

"Okay! I got it!" Responding, Shui Qingyue directly took out two bank notes from her sleeve and handed them to Jin Zhong.

However, just as she reached out, she was pushed back by Jin Zhong: "Princess, no need, these are what old slaves should do!"

Shui Qingyue smiled slightly, pushed the banknotes over, and said softly: "These banknotes are not rewards, but just to make Eunuch Jin happy!"

Jin Zhong stared suspiciously at Shui Qingyue and hesitated for a moment, then took the bank note in her hand: "That old slave thanked the princess right here!"

Sending Jin Zhong and the others away, Shui Qingyue didn't take a second look at the rewards, and directly instructed Zhui Shan, who was also the housekeeper of the palace, "Just put these rewards into the central treasury!" .

Glancing at the pile of rewards, Chasing Flash looked at Ye Gongtuo with some embarrassment: "My lord, do you see this?"

Ye Gongtuo's brows suddenly tightened, and he raised his head and shouted at Qingyue: "Feng Qingying, what do you mean?"

Without looking back, Shui Qingyue just said coldly: "It's meaningless, since the imperial decree specifies that those rewards are for the Eight Princes' Mansion, they should be included in the Zhongku!"

Hearing this, Ye Gongtuo was obviously a little angry, and his face sank suddenly: "Do you have to be so clear with me?"

Bitterness flashed in Shui Qingyue's dark eyes: "There are some things that should be distinguished, and it's better to distinguish them, so as not to be confused in the future!"

Ye Gongtuo's expression became even uglier for a while, he quickly stepped forward, pulled her over, and made her face him: "Then tell me, what should be distinguished? What should not be distinguished?"

Closing her eyes, she hesitated for a moment, Shui Qingyue did not answer his question, but smiled and said: "Oh, by the way, speaking of it, I also have something to discuss with you, my lord!"

Noticing her sudden change of address, Takuya Yeomiya felt a little inexplicable for a while.Prince?She has always called him by his first name, but now?Did she really want to cut ties with him?
Ignoring his reaction, Shui Qingyue smiled thoughtfully: "My previous internal injuries have never healed, and now I am pregnant, there are many things that I can't do, so I want to give the middle of my hand Hand it over to Concubine Bai to be in charge!" In fact, since she took over Zhongfu, she has never personally managed it at all, and it has always been Yinglu who has been in charge for her.And now, she doesn't even want to interfere!
Hearing that she suddenly mentioned herself and said that she would hand over Zhongfei to her, Bai Lingqing stared at her in disbelief.At that moment, she seriously suspected that something was wrong with her ears!Feed it!Master the power of the entire palace!That is the power that many women have tried their best to fight for, but they can't win it!But that woman, unexpectedly, wanted to hand it over to her for nothing?Isn't she crazy?
Ye Gongtuo still didn't speak, but squinted and stared at her with a dangerous expression.It seems that I want to see her heart!
Seeing that he was silent, Shui Qingyue hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Before I married into the palace, Concubine Bai was in charge of Zhongfu. Although Concubine Bai could not be perfect, in my opinion It's also very good! So I suggest that you, my lord, can hand over the gift to Concubine Bai again!"

When she heard that she was not only going to hand over the power of Zhongfu to her, but even praised her, Bai Lingqing couldn't believe it, and even couldn't help but began to wonder if there was some conspiracy or trap in it.

On the other hand, other women in the palace heard Shui Qingyue's recommendation, but they couldn't help but began to wonder if the side concubine Bai had given the concubine a lot of benefits in private?Even this benefit is more than that of the central feeder who is in charge of the palace!Otherwise, with the shrew personality of the princess, how could she easily hand over the power in her hands?
"When I go back later, I will order someone to send you the account book of the palace!" Shui Qingyue said directly to Bai Lingqing regardless of whether Yegong Tuo agreed or not.

Bai Lingqing glanced at Ye Gongtuo, wanted to refuse but greeted her: "Prince, Concubine, this is not good, right? After all..."

"Get out of here, all of you!" Before Bai Lingqing could finish speaking, Yegong Takuo's angry roar suddenly sounded in her ears.

Hearing this, the wives of the courtyards were startled suddenly, they didn't dare to delay any longer, they hurriedly bowed and ran out one after another as if fleeing for their lives.

Seeing this, Shui Qingyue was about to follow her out without saying a word.However, just two steps away, Ye Gongtuo pulled her back, and said angrily: "This king is telling them to go away, not you! Why are you going?"

Without looking at him, Shui Qingyue lowered her eyes halfway, and pursed her lips: "I think I made it very clear to you, my lord, yesterday! But now, we shouldn't have anything to talk about, right?"

"I..." gave Zhui Shan and Ying Ru a wink, and after the two left with interest, Ye Gongtuo said again: "I heard someone report that you were caught in the rain yesterday and then fainted Now, your body is still very weak, if you have anything to say, let's talk in the hall!" Ye Gongtuo stretched out his hand and wanted to hold her hand.

However, as soon as I met her, she was thrown away: "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. I'm fine now!"

Faced with her indifferent attitude, Ye Gongtuo was obviously a little angry, but he finally endured it, and when his eyes moved, he regained the "unique" gentleness in front of her: "Yesterday, I wanted to explain clearly to you. Yes, but because of the Wendan Festival, my father hurriedly recruited me into the palace. After I came back, I heard that you had fainted in the rain! I wanted to see you at that time, and then I would explain it clearly to you, but Feng Xiao and Qi Yan Said that you have taken medicine and fell asleep! So I..."

Rolling her eyes slightly, Shui Qingyue sneered and said, "Why are you telling me these things for no reason?"

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Ye Gongtuo stared at her helplessly: "I, I just don't want you to misunderstand me!"

"Whether I misunderstand or not, it doesn't matter! Anyway, everything between you and me is just a show, for detoxification, for survival! I..."

"Do you really think that we spent more than half a year together day and night, sleeping together in the same bed, all just a scene? Are they all fake?" Before she could finish speaking, Ye Gongtuo interrupted her angrily.

Shui Qingyue smiled coldly: "It's not fake, is it still real?"

"you……"

Shui Qingyue didn't give him the chance to act: "Actually, you really don't have to do this. From the very beginning, you should have told me directly that you took the Flame Spirit Fire Orb. If we want to detoxify, we must...to detoxify, to detoxify." If you survive, I will definitely promise you! You don’t need to spend all your time, first let Ye Gongxiang break my legs and imprison me, but after I escaped, I planned to have you and me at grandma’s birthday banquet , I have to use up your position as the eighth prince and concubine! Look at you, thank you! It is also detoxification, but you have paid so much!"

Ye Gongtuo never expected that she would even discover those things, and she couldn't help being a little stunned for a while.
