Chapter 90 When Zhou Baili's child was confirmed to be the eldest son, he immediately abolished this ugly woman
"I understand what Divine Doctor Bai means. As for getting the medicine, I will ask Yuan Er's people to come and get it."
After it was decided, Concubine Rong should not stay in Zuixiang Tower for long, so she returned to the palace under the escort of Chi Hongyuan's confidant.
"Why do I feel uneasy?" Bai Ziyu looked at Liu Mingyue who was eating melon seeds.
"What are you afraid of? If His Majesty the Ninth Prince comes to question us and Concubine Rong doesn't help us out, I have the ability to poison both mother and son." Liu Mingyue snorted coldly.
She did not discuss how to repay Concubine Rong's favor in order to wait and see if there would be anything that could be negotiated later.
If Concubine Rong turns against us, then we will just cancel the deal and just take her life.
"Oh? Are you so confident?" Bai Ziyu leaned one hand on the table and looked at her with his body tilted.
Liu Mingyue pushed him away, a fierce look flashed in her eyes: "With the poison you prepared, what's wrong? But don't worry, I will do it myself, and you can just escape when the time comes."
The next day, Liu Mingyue was rocking in a rattan chair in the yard and lying under the porch, feeling the gentle breeze.
Towards evening, the steward came over with a message, saying that the Empress Dowager would be celebrating her sixtieth birthday in two months and that a palace banquet would be held in the palace, and Liu Mingyue should remember to go to the cloth shop to make new clothes.
The mansion now doesn't even prepare meals for Liu Mingyue, and she has to make her own clothes when she goes to the palace.
"If the housekeeper hadn't come to tell me, I would have forgotten that the Queen Mother is celebrating her sixtieth birthday. The palace banquet will surely be very lively."
Peanut likes lively occasions the most, but it’s a pity that she can’t bring her maid into the palace.
"You're right, it will be very lively indeed." Liu Mingyue waved the palm-leaf fan in her hand, frowned and looked at the fan in her hand, then put it aside. In a blink of an eye, the weather had turned cold.
The palace banquet held for the Empress Dowager’s sixtieth birthday was indeed grand, and it was indeed very lively in her previous life.
However, the excitement was because the emperor and empress intended to take this opportunity to select princesses for the younger princes, as well as concubines and maids for the adult princes.
Because of this reason, many officials' families were on the invitation list for this palace banquet.
However, among married women, only the wife could enter the palace, while concubines could not.
"Luyin, what's going on in the mansion recently? Why do I often see the steward from the warehouse walking around?"
Since she became pregnant, Zhou Baili's status in the Marquis's Mansion soared. The Marquis's wife loved her even more and always sent any good things to her first.
For the sake of her unborn baby, Zhou Baili would often walk around the mansion.
"I heard that they are preparing gifts for the Empress Dowager's sixtieth birthday." Lu Yin looked at the warehouse manager who was walking away, then supported Zhou Baili and looked down at her feet.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that every year my mother would take me to the palace to attend the birthday banquets for the nobles in the palace." Zhou Baili thought of the Queen Mother's 60th birthday, and the smile on her face slowly faded.
She had already married and was no longer an unmarried woman. As a concubine, she could not attend the palace banquet.
"Aunt?" Lu Yin saw Zhou Baili standing still with a bad look on her face, and thought she was feeling unwell.
"Humph! That bitch has taken my wife's place! She must return it to me sooner or later! Even if she can attend the palace banquet, it would be embarrassing for her to go if she goes, given her status!"
Zhou Baili touched her belly, unwilling but still raised her chin. Liu Mingyue's complacency won't last long. When the baby in her belly is born, the ugly woman who has taken over the magpie's nest will be kicked out!
That night, Zhou Baili sat beside the bed in a trance. Qin Zhuoyan saw that she was frowning, so she sat down beside her and put her arm around her shoulders affectionately: "Why are you frowning? Who made you unhappy?"
"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held in two months. In the past, my mother would have asked the best embroiderer in the embroidery building to make new clothes for me. But this year, I can't go."
Zhou Baili curled her lips and turned her head to look away, as if she was angry with Tan Zhuoyan.
If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't divorce Liu Mingyue yet, the Crown Prince's Consort would be her, Zhou Baili.
The beauty acted coquettishly in his arms, and Tan Zhuoyan was in a very good mood. She was not upset because of Zhou Baili's temper: "Be good, so what if she can go today? It's fine if it's you in the future!"
Qin Zhuoyan also didn't want Liu Mingyue to follow him. With such an ugly woman sitting next to him, even the air he breathed felt turbid.
From a public perspective, he really hoped that Zhou Baili, the most beautiful woman in the capital, would be by his side.
"You are pregnant, so you should not go out everywhere. It is best for you to stay in the mansion and take care of your baby. The day you give birth to a baby boy will be the day when Liu Mingyue will be kicked out of the mansion."
After being coaxed by Tan Zhuoyan for a long time, Zhou Baihe finally smiled and leaned into Tan Zhuoyan's arms and rubbed against him: "Your Highness is right, I will definitely give birth to a healthy and strong eldest son for you."
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the autumn evening in the capital was already very cold. Tan Zhuoyan changed her clothes and went to the carriage to wait for Liu Mingyue. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet had no distinction between men and women, so the two of them rode in the carriage to the palace together.
Liu Mingyue also arrived at the gate of the mansion, and only found out that she would be riding with Tan Zhuoyan when she was about to get on the carriage.
Liu Mingyue stepped on the pedal and bent down to get into the carriage. She caught a glimpse of Qin Zhuoyan moving to the corner with disgust.
Liu Mingyue chuckled. Considering how much Tan Zhuoyan disliked her, he was afraid that the journey to the palace would be difficult.
But what does it have to do with her?
Liu Mingyue sat leisurely in the seat farthest away from Tan Zhuoyan, without looking around.
"Your Highness and the Crown Princess, please take your seats. The carriage will depart soon."
The two people in the carriage said nothing as the carriage swayed and slowly moved towards the direction of the palace.
Liu Mingyue faced Tan Zhuoyan sideways. Even so, as long as she looked up at her, she could see the birthmark on her face. Tan Zhuoyan frowned in dissatisfaction. With such a face, she was not worthy of being his legal wife.
He would never forget how Liu Mingyue embarrassed him at the last palace banquet. It was only because of His Majesty that no one dared to ridicule him openly.
The road to the palace was not long, but two people who disliked each other sat in the carriage and neither spoke to each other, so the journey was a bit difficult to endure.
Sitting there was bored, so Qin Zhuoyan looked at Liu Mingyue with disdain, trying to embarrass her. Unexpectedly, Liu Mingyue just kept her eyes straight and didn't respond to him at all.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Your Highness? Are you trying to see something on my face?" Just when Tan Zhuoyan was feeling bored, Liu Mingyue suddenly spoke.
The other person's expression remained calm, but he was dissatisfied with his actions.
Tan Zhuoyan snorted coldly, disdainful to answer Liu Mingyue, thinking that this woman was not only ugly, but also wooden! He wanted to see how long this ugly woman could be so arrogant.
As soon as it is confirmed that the child born by Zhou Baili is the eldest son, he will immediately get rid of this ungrateful ugly woman!
