"There are many ways to repay a favor. I shouldn't have agreed to the Jiang family's promise of the position of queen."

"At this point, the Jiang family is in a high position and has long had ulterior motives. For Jiang Nan's sake, as long as the Jiang family doesn't make a big mistake, I will spare their lives."

"The Queen is resolute."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. If she dares to lay a hand on Yi'er, then she won't be able to sit on the throne of Queen either."

In the end, the Queen Mother just sighed.

After walking out of the Cining Palace, the emperor let out a breath, looked up at the cloudless sky, and felt a wave of sorrow in his heart.

"Go to Siyu Palace."

Sitting in the sedan chair, the emperor was very anxious, as the matter of appointing a crown prince was imminent.

The ministers in the court could no longer hold back and urged him to choose a crown prince as soon as possible.

A dark glint flashed across the emperor's eyes.

When they arrived at Siyu Palace, Xu Jinyi's clear and lively laughter drove away the emperor's boredom. He smiled and strode in.

Xia Qing, who was pushing the swing, saw the emperor coming in and was about to shout a greeting, but the emperor made a silent gesture to dismiss her.

"Xia Qing, push higher, higher."

The midday sun shines on Xu Jinyi's body. Her glittering clothes are full of colorful colors, and she looks energetic and sunny.

Hearing the low laughter behind him, Xu Jinyi turned around: "Your Majesty? Why are you here?"

He quickly stopped the swing with his foot and was about to salute.

"No need to be so polite. Don't perform formalities in the future when there are no outsiders around." The emperor helped her to kneel down.

"How can this be? Etiquette cannot be abolished."

"If I say yes, it's okay."

Although the dog man was smiling, the smile did not show in his eyes, but Xu Jinyi still saw that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty is unhappy today? What happened?"

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and took Xu Jinyi's hand as they walked towards the bedroom: "You really understand me."

Holding Nobody in his arms, he sat on the beauty couch. The emperor stroked her hair with one hand and said, "The Queen Mother will be 50 years old in half a month. I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill her wish in her lifetime."

The other hand touched Xu Jinyi's belly: "It would be great if our child was born in your belly."

Xu Jinyi lowered her brows and calculated the time. It had been more than half a month since she took the fake pregnancy pill. She could actually tell the pregnancy by taking her pulse at this time.

I have to find a way to reveal the pregnancy.

The emperor suddenly picked up Xu Jinyi and carried him horizontally into the inner room.

Xia Qing Youfu, who was standing by, lowered his head and avoided looking, then slowly retreated and closed the door.

Xu Jinyi's eyes widened, and she wrapped her arms around the emperor's neck. Her face turned pink, revealing a hint of charm.

"His Majesty!?"

He threw her onto the bed and advanced on her.

Soon, a soft and tender voice was heard in the bedroom, sometimes sobbing, sometimes admonishing.

I don’t know how long it took before it finally stopped.

Xu Jinyi was panting, burying her head in the emperor's arms, with a half-drop of crystal clear tear hanging from the corner of her eyes.

The beautiful scene was so tempting that the emperor couldn't help but let his hand slide down again.

Xu Jinyi closed her eyes in ecstasy, as if she was on a boat, drifting aimlessly.

No one knew what had stimulated the emperor, but he became more and more aggressive in the following days. Many mornings, Xu Jinyi got up with his hands on his waist.

The intense exercise almost broke my waist.

It was really a torture.

However, the appearance after being watered is really enviable.

Xu Jinyi also asked Xiaoqi, and only after making sure that there would be no problems with the emperor's stomach through such exercise did she allow him to do what he wanted.

She took the fake pregnancy pill in order to dethrone the queen. If something went wrong at the hands of the emperor, it would be a real sin.

As the Empress Dowager's birthday was approaching, the Queen summoned all the concubines in the harem to Kunning Palace to discuss the arrangements for the banquet.

Xu Jinyi also had to show up for this matter. It was impossible for him to not go for the daily greetings and not go for the discussion either.

The next day.

Xu Jinyi calculated the time and slowly appeared after everyone knelt down to pay respects to the queen.

Today she was wearing a lavender long dress with white gardenias embroidered on the hem. The silver-white silk was tied around her, and her perfect figure was clearly visible.

As she walked, the hem of her skirt rippled gently, and she looked like a walking flower fairy.

This cloth was made of the tribute-giving shiny silk, and the embroidery on the dress was the result of a month's work by the palace embroiderers.

The dress is so dazzling that if you stand in the sun, you will look like a fairy riding on colorful clouds, breathtakingly beautiful.

Staring at Xu Jinyi, who was late and looked very charming, the queen's face looked very ugly.

When he saw the dress she was wearing, he gripped the armrests of the chair even tighter, his fingertips turning white.

That was the new tribute cloth from the Western Regions this year, only two pieces.

In the past, she was allowed to choose the fabrics from the Imperial Household Department, and the tribute fabrics were sent directly to her.

What about this year?

By the time she sent someone to the Imperial Household Department, the fabric had already been delivered to Siyu Palace.

Staring at Xu Jinyi's beautiful face, a hint of hatred flashed across his eyes.

Xu Jinyi yawned, with a tear hanging from the corner of her eye, and then she knelt slightly to salute the queen.

"Your Highness greets the Queen."

The Queen said expressionlessly, "Although the Emperor has exempted the Imperial Concubine from her daily greetings, isn't it true that Imperial Concubine Xu is a bit too proud of her favor and doesn't take me seriously?"

"You're so late, aren't you even more arrogant than me?"

"Even Concubine Su, who is of the same rank as you, is not as fearless as you are."

When Concubine Su heard that she was being mentioned, she raised her eyebrows and looked over, knowing that the Queen was trying to drag her into the water.

She spoke softly, "Sister, you have worked hard in serving His Majesty. You deserve to rest more."

"Thank you for your consideration, sister. I was a little tired this morning, so I rested for a while before coming here."

Upon hearing this, the queen's face almost tensed up.

He Da Ying couldn't stand Xu Jinyi's behavior and said sarcastically, "Your Majesty is so frail, are you sure you can serve His Majesty well?"

"Don't get too sick then." He rolled his eyes after saying that.

No one else dared to speak out, as everyone in the harem knew about the incident in the imperial garden last time.

The emperor went to great lengths to protect Concubine Xu, so who would dare to mess with her now?

Aren't you afraid that she will whisper in the emperor's ears at night?

Xu Jinyi sneered, walked to the seat opposite Concubine Su and sat down. His eyes changed and he looked at He Da Ying coldly.

"Even if I can't serve you well, it's not your turn. What are you doing with a promise that's not worthy of your attention?"

"You don't need to worry about my health."

He agreed and widened his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Although she was demoted to a concubine, no one in the palace dared to offend He, after all, she had the support of the Empress Dowager.

Her nostrils were almost pointing to the sky, so she dared to be so presumptuous and openly offend Xu Jinyi, who was much higher in rank than her.
