Chapter 118 He Zhiyi Leaves the Palace
Chapter 118 He Zhiyi Leaves the Palace
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
He Zhiyi bowed gracefully, and her beautiful figure was fully displayed in front of Emperor Xuan.
Only then did Emperor Xuan realize that He Zhiyi was indeed charming. He had been favoring Concubine Yu for some time and had forgotten that there was such a beauty in his harem.
He stood up, took the food box himself, took He Zhiyi's hand and pulled her into his arms.
"Zhi'er, why did you want to come to the Qianqing Palace today?"
Don’t you have something to ask for?
He Zhiyi snorted inwardly, then smiled sweetly, "Of course I miss the Emperor. The Emperor hasn't come to see me for a long time. I miss him so much that I count the floor tiles in the palace every day. I really can't stand the longing, so I come to see the Emperor..."
As she spoke, her face turned cold, "Could it be that the Emperor doesn't want to see me?"
He Zhiyi's delicate rebuke made Emperor Xuan's scalp tingle and his whole body itchy as if it were electrified. He wanted to press her down and make love to her immediately.
But he restrained me for only a moment.
He coaxed He Zhiyi: "How could I not miss Zhi'er? These past few days, I have been understanding that you have just experienced the pain of losing your child and trying not to hurt you any more. But you don't know that I am thinking of you all the time in my heart!"
"Oh? What does Your Majesty want from me?" He Zhiyi turned to face Emperor Xuan, as if she didn't know what was going on. However, her hand climbed onto Emperor Xuan's shoulder, and she looked at him seductively.
How could Emperor Xuan resist such temptation? He finally got a beautiful woman, but she wouldn't let him touch her.
He has been feeling very depressed these days. Seeing He Zhiyi inviting him again and again, how could he bear it any longer?
He simply picked the person up and carried him to the bed.
He Zhiyi buried her head in Emperor Xuan's chest, but Emperor Xuan thought she was just shy. Little did he know that He Zhiyi felt indifferent and even cold in her heart.
As the emperor grows older, he becomes more and more obsessed with beautiful women.
Today, she was able to do something that allowed her to be favored in broad daylight. Once the ministers outside knew about it, they would not blame Emperor Xuan, but would only accuse her of bringing disaster to the country and the people and seducing the emperor.
But...so what?
If she could get pregnant again, could she decide her own future?
If I could give birth to another prince, would I be able to escape the He family's control?
In the end, He Zhiyi still joined Emperor Xuan in making some trouble.
She did not control the volume of her voice, and even Qingxi, who was guarding outside the palace, heard the suggestive voice.
He just walked away silently, looked up at the sky and sighed.
This piece of heaven...maybe it will soon change hands...
A quarter of an hour later, He Zhiyi tidied herself up with a flushed face, and snuggled in Emperor Xuan's arms, suppressing the nausea in her heart.
As if chatting casually, she said, "I wonder if I can take over the emperor's blessing and add a pair of auspicious signs to the emperor..."
As she spoke, she gently stroked her belly and looked at Emperor Xuan with anticipation.
Emperor Xuan laughed, kissed her forehead, and said lovingly, "How can auspicious signs be so easy to obtain?"
He Zhiyi pretended to be dissatisfied when she heard this. She turned her head away with a pout and muttered, "The Queen gave the Emperor a pair of twins, the eldest prince also gave you a pair of twins, and now the second prince may also give you a pair of twins. Why can't I?"
When He Zhiyi mentioned the twins born to Xiao Mingcheng, Emperor Xuan was a little angry, but after hearing the following words, he calmed down and even felt a little happy.
"Are you saying that Chu can give birth to twins for Yi'er?"
Emperor Xuan cut off the beginning and the end and only came up with this explanation.
"Your Majesty, I mean I also want to have twins..." She shook Emperor Xuan's arm coquettishly, and did not answer his question directly. Instead, she said, "I believe Your Majesty, maybe I can have twins this time!"
But Emperor Xuan's mind was no longer on her.
He Zhiyi's words were replaying in his mind.
The Queen is his wife, Cheng'er is his son, and they have given birth to auspicious things one after another. So, will his son Yi'er also give birth to auspicious things?
Seeing that Chu was about to give birth and the autumn examination was approaching in the next two days, he really couldn't leave.
It's obviously inappropriate to summon someone into the palace, so we can only send someone to the prince's residence...
Emperor Xuan was eager to know whether Chu was pregnant with twins.
And the woman in front of me... is the best candidate!
If nothing else, everyone knew that He Zhiyi and the Queen were at odds. If anything happened to the Second Prince's wife, it would be blamed on her, so there was no way He Zhiyi would do anything to the Chu family.
Moreover, she held the same rank as the Vice Queen, and when the Queen was seriously ill, she was the only one who could visit her on her behalf.
The more Emperor Xuan thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to him, and he clapped his hands and made the decision.
"Zhi'er, since you want to give birth to an auspicious child for me, why not visit the Second Prince's wife first? If she is also carrying twins, you can also share in the blessing."
"Ah? Really?" He Zhiyi's eyes lit up, as if she was struck by surprise. She blinked and looked at Emperor Xuan, "Is this true? If the Second Prince's wife is also pregnant with twins, then I am sure it is too!"
What she said was so true and reasonable that it confused Emperor Xuan for a moment.
Emperor Xuan nodded and gave him grace: "After lunch, take my sign and leave the palace. I will leave Chu to you. I will wait for good news from Zhier in the palace."
"it is good!"
He Zhiyi took the palace badge from Emperor Xuan, said she would get ready, and then left.
He didn't even get to have lunch in the Qianqing Palace. After returning to the Rende Palace, he had a quick meal and then left the palace with Qingfei and Chen Hetian.
Wanqi smiled when he knew this. Some people really don't know that their death is approaching, and even rush forward eagerly.
This is what a moth flying into a flame looks like.
......
He Zhiyi drove at lightning speed, not daring to stop at all.
Those who know her say that she came to visit the Second Prince's wife on the emperor's orders, while those who don't know her think she came to cause trouble.
The second prince, Xiao Mingyi, was just basking in the sun with the pregnant Chu Lingle as usual when he heard a servant come to report that someone had come from the palace.
Xiao Mingyi stood up and stared at the servant in disbelief. "What did you say? Say it again?"
The servant was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "Your Highness, calm down. Someone is coming from the palace. I dare not lie."
Xiao Mingyi stared with a pair of ox eyes, but he asked to be confined to the mansion. One reason was that he was afraid that his father would find out about him, so he left early. The other reason was that Chu was about to give birth and he didn't dare to leave. He must let her give birth to a pair of auspicious children.
But it was clearly a foolproof plan, so why would someone come now?
"Who's coming? How many people are coming?"
The servant answered truthfully: "Only one woman came, she was holding the emperor's sign..."
A woman? Xiao Mingyi frowned. No matter who it was, except for his mother, they were all disgusting people.
Chu Lingle reached out and tugged at Xiao Mingyi's robe, saying softly, "Your Highness, it's alright, I'm fine. Since they're from the palace, please invite them into the mansion."
Xiao Mingyi's brows relaxed, he pulled Chu up and patted her hand to comfort her.
"Bring people in."
Not invite, but bring.
No matter who it is, he can't catch their eye and has absolutely no respect for them.
Soon, the servant brought He Zhiyi, Qing Fei, and Chen Hetian to Xiao Mingyi and his wife.
Xiao Mingyi's face turned ugly in an instant, and he asked He Zhiyi coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Before He Zhiyi could say anything, Chu Lingle pulled Xiao Mingyi and bowed slightly, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Concubine Chen." She was quite a gentle woman.
Xiao Mingyi also bowed reluctantly, but did not speak.
He Zhiyi smiled nonchalantly, "It's been a while since I last saw the Second Prince's wife, and your belly is already this big."
Qing Fei behind her also raised her eyes slightly and looked at the belly of the Second Prince's wife.
Just one glance and he narrowed his eyes.
Haha, this belly is big enough, but it’s not real.
It's a pad!
