In the evening, Song Yunqian brought Chen Yuzhu to the palace to express her gratitude.

The emperor set up a banquet at True Sun Palace, while Prince Zhenyuan Song Yungang brought a family to the palace to accompany him.

Accompanying them were the empress, the Imperial Concubine Ling, the Imperial Concubine Rong and the official imperial concubine. Of course, there were also the nine kings and the State Advisor. Wen Yi originally did not plan to attend, but although it was Song Yunqian who entered the palace to express her gratitude, in truth, everyone was well aware of what the Emperor was planning. Tonight, if she or Song Yunqian showed any unusual expressions, the Emperor would punish her.

After separating for three months, she would never be able to keep a straight face. Especially since he was carrying Chen Yuzhu, the woman who looked extremely similar to Yang Luoyi.

As for her, she believed that he would not be able to focus on her, because when she looked at the title of Noble Consort, even though she had not officially conferred the title of Noble Consort, the people below had all shouted for her.

However, the Emperor did not allow her to be absent. He had already sent word to her, and sent her a silk dress as thin as a cicada's wing.

Outside, the setting sun of early summer was so long, and the days in the palace from morning to night, she had no hope, only living like a zombie. As for the medical techniques she had learned, they were completely useless. The current her was a cripple.

Escaping the palace was an easy thing for her right now. However, she did not choose to escape because she still had a worry in her heart. She had to turn a blind eye towards Song Yunqian and make the emperor believe that there was no longer a relationship between them. At that time, even if she left, the emperor would not blame Song Yunqian.

In the eyes of the Emperor, the relationship between her and Song Yunqian was an original sin. And the reason he insisted on entering the palace, was probably because he wanted to use him to pull Song Yunqian. At least, there would be a day when she was in the palace where Song Yunqian would not dare to act rashly.

What a contradictory person! He didn't want Song Yunqian to be linked to him, but at the same time, he wanted them to control each other. Wen Yi sighed quietly in the bottom of her heart, pushed the fine clothes aside and said to the palace maid Qinglan: "Change it, I don't want to wear this."

Qinglan said worriedly: "It's just that, this was sent by the Emperor. If the Noble Consort does not wear it, I'm afraid the Emperor will punish them!"

Wen Yi said indifferently, "If I don't even have the authority to what I wear in this palace, what meaning is there in me living? Just do it, if there's anything I can take responsibility for! "

Qinglan could only do as she was told and find a piece of the blue satin she normally wore in the closet. Wen Yi took her clothes and put them on behind the screen, then took out a jade hairpin to put on her hair. The hairpin from before had already been lost. This one was bought by her in the market, for 30 gold.

Qinglan looked at her, and said: "Noble Consort, isn't this way too simple?"

Which imperial concubine wasn't dressed in luxurious clothing in this harem? After all, not every imperial concubine had a chance to become a saint. Anyone capable of dining with the emperor would have to resort to every means at their disposal and dress up like a celestial being. This master of hers was truly unusual. But this was good as well. After all, the harem had been fighting for love for an endless period of time. How long could they keep fighting for it? In order to compete for the favor of others, they would have to sacrifice the people around them. If they didn't fight, then they would have to live a peaceful life.

The empress wore a phoenix gown made from the empress's etiquette. She was noble, elegant and extraordinary. Wen Yi looked from afar and saw her proudly sitting beside the Emperor. Her expression did not seem to be anything unusual, with her hands on her knees and the warm smile on her lips.

This was also the first time Wen Yi had seen the Queen since entering the palace. She didn't have the face to see the empress, because she knew very well that the reason the empress had been placed under house arrest or even almost crippled was all because of her. The Queen, however, was the person she respected the most. Even though the Queen was still the Queen, in her heart, it must have been a mess. A woman who had been humiliated like that, was now sitting beside a man who was devoid of any feelings. She didn't reveal the slightest bit of hatred, and she was still as dignified and generous as before; if it was her, she definitely wouldn't be able to do it.

Next to the empress were the Imperial Concubine Ling and his wife. The nine kings sat next to her, and the State Advisor was right next to her.

Before Song Yunqian and his wife arrived, Prince Zhenyuan and his wife, An Ran were seated opposite to him. Two seats were vacated beside him, which, he guessed, should be for Song Yunqian and his wife.

The emperor raised his head and looked at Wen Yi. He frowned, as if he was unsatisfied with her attire, but he didn't say anything. "Come to my side!"

Wen Yi walked up and greeted them courteously, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Mother Imperial Concubine Rong …"

"Alright, sit down!" When the emperor saw her bow to them one by one, he was slightly angered. "You are now the Noble Consort, so they should greet you then!"

Imperial Concubine Ling, Imperial Concubine Rong and Qin Fei heard what was said and looked at each other, before hurriedly getting up, "I pay my respects to Noble Consort!"

Wen Yi stood there awkwardly, she really did not know how to react.

Upon seeing this, the empress smiled and said, "That's enough, we are all sisters from the same family. There's no need to bow anymore, sit down!"

The three of them then sat down, and Wen Yi could only sit. She met the eyes of the Nine Kings. The Nine Kings looked at her worriedly. Her expression was calm, and she gave him a comforting look.

The emperor doted on the State Advisor to the point where he even wanted to accompany the royal family's banquet. It could be seen what the State Advisor was saying right now.

Just as Wen Yi sat down, Song Yunqian and his wife came over.

Although it wasn't the first time the imperial concubines had met Chen Yuzhu, she was wearing a jade-white embroidered orchid pleated skirt, holding a fallen horse bun, and inserting a jadeite phoenix tail hairpin with a hundred treasures. Looking at him from afar, she looked eighty to ninety percent similar to Yang Luoyi, and even looked exactly the same as her.

Currently, the remaining two empty seats were next to Wen Yi and Prince Zhenyuan.

After Song Yunqian bowed to Chen Yuzhu, Chen Yuzhu sat down next to him. He sat next to Prince Zhenyuan.

The emperor's expression was cold. He glanced at Song Yunqian indifferently and said: "Tonight, it was rather cool, and the rain bamboo is pregnant again. How come your clothes are so thin? As your husband, there is clearly a place where you can't get the throne. "

Chen Yuzhu uneasily said: "Thank you royal father for your concern, Yu Zhu is still fine!"

Song Yunqian said respectfully: "Although it's a little cold tonight, just by walking around, I can warm my body. royal father does not need to worry, Yu Zhu's body is already much better now."

His gaze did not meet Wen Yi's, and Wen Yi also did not look at him with her head lowered. His voice and aura could pass Chen Yuzhu and drift to her side, and he was still her familiar Ning an report.

She steadied herself and listened to the Emperor.

"Qian'er, we have already investigated the matter of colluding against the enemy. You were indeed framed, you can't blame royal father for treating you like this, right?" the Emperor asked.

Song Yunqian said in a serious tone: "Why would childrens blame you? On the contrary, childrens still has to thank royal father for believing in him and for ordering him to investigate this matter thoroughly before he can clear this matter. "

The Emperor nodded in satisfaction. "It is best that you understand, because you are my son, and I cannot practice favoritism. Otherwise, where would the Daliang's national might go? "The news has only been spread by the barbarians in all four directions. They have been ridiculing us for taking advantage of our own personal interests, and now it has gone against the laws of the court!"

Song Yunqian's expression was still as respectful as before, "Yes, childrens understands!"

Your royal father would never be willing to let you suffer such grievances. The days you were in the Celestial Prison he was worried sick about you and sent several orders to the people in charge of investigating the matter. If it weren't for your royal father being in charge, I'm afraid the truth would not have been revealed. "

Song Yunqian welcomed the emperor's gaze and said gratefully, "childrens has troubled royal father!"

A trace of love flashed through the emperor's eyes. After looking at him for a long time, he slowly said, "I only have two sons, you and Gang-er. It's just that sometimes, you have to understand the position of the royal father. Everything in the royal father is yours in the future.

The Emperor's words were cryptic and illogical, but no one doubted it. Presumably, even he himself felt it was funny, so after he finished speaking, his face suddenly sank.

When the Ninth King saw this, he raised his wine cup with a lazy smile. "Aiya, royal brother, are you done speaking? This wine has already turned cold. Your younger brother is still waiting to drink a cup of wine with your royal brother! "

The emperor smiled as he looked at the Ninth King, "Yo, this Ninth Brother of yours, you're so impatient? This toast of yours is fine, but you have to have a reason, right? "

The Ninth King stood up, scratched his head and thought for a moment, "What reason does this need?" Seeing how our royal family has a harmonious and loving relationship with one another, how obedient and docile we are, how Yu Zhu is pregnant, and Qian'er is also free from any suspicion of being an enemy, this whole matter is a joyous occasion.

The emperor pretended to be slightly displeased as he said, "Yes, it is indeed enough. However, what I would like to drink more is the toast of you bringing your new wife to me. You're no longer young; it's time to fix it!"

The Ninth King confidently said, "Royal brother, your servant brother is different from you. Your servant brother enjoys being free and unfettered, and does not like being controlled by women."

The emperor couldn't help but laugh. "The beast race, the beast race!" However, your lineage cannot leave no one behind. I'll give you three months. If you are unable to find a wife within three months, I'll grant you a marriage! "

The empress also smiled and said, "That's right, Ninth Brother. You're not young anymore, it's time to find a wife and have a child."

Wen Yi had been suppressing her heart and listening to their jokes the entire time. Suddenly, she felt Chen Yuzhu's body shake all of a sudden, she turned her head to look, and saw her face pale white, and the hand she had placed on the armrest started to tremble, as if she was terrified.

Wen Yi thought that her body wasn't well. Just as she wanted to go over to ask, she discovered that the legs under her jade white skirt were tightly clamped. She suddenly understood something.

Chen Yuzhu's month event had arrived!

Wen Yi was shocked, at this moment, if her pregnancy was exposed, there would be more people involved, at least Imperial Physician Shangguan and Long Fei would have their heads blown off.

When Chen Yuzhu looked at Song Yunqian, her eyes landed on the emperor's face, but she did not discover anything abnormal about Chen Yuzhu. Chen Yuzhu could only nervously retract her gaze and sit there.

Seeing her so flustered, other people would definitely be able to find some clues, if she continued to ask, it might not be able to hide anything. She reached out to hold Chen Yuzhu's hand and sighed. "Princess's hands are so cold, the sun has turned cold all of a sudden. Your body is no longer what it used to be, you have to keep it warm!"

Chen Yuzhu looked at her in bewilderment, thinking that it was she who had helped the emperor to deceive the emperor last time. Although she was confused, but after investigation, she became clear that she was Wen Yi, the Dr. Wen who had once lived in the palace for a period of time. Now that she had spoken in such a manner, she did not know what her intentions were. Afraid that Wen Yi would call her to get up and change her clothes, she hurriedly replied, "It's not cold, it's not cold.

The emperor looked at her and said with a frown, "Your face is so pale. Are you feeling unwell? "You are pregnant now, so you cannot be careless. Come, help the Duke Palaces go to the Tempest Pavilion to rest!"

Chen Yuzhu was dumbstruck. She was wearing jade white clothes today, and as long as she stood up, everything would be exposed. She quickly said: "royal father, my daughter-in-law is fine. It's just as Noble Consort had said, it's just a little cold!"

The emperor said unhappily, "You say that you are not cold at one moment, but at the next, you say that you are. You are already such a big person, yet you don't know how to appreciate yourself? Qian'er, send your wife to the Tsing Wei Pavilion to rest first. Have someone boil some millet porridge for her. She is currently carrying the offspring of our royal family, so she cannot be careless. "

Song Yunqian saw that Chen Yuzhu's face was pale white, so he replied: Yes, childrens obeys! With that, he helped Chen Yuzhu up.

Chen Yuzhu was so scared that her face turned white, she frantically waved her hands, "No, I'm not going!"
