The next second, He Zheng said, "You go kneel down too."
Suddenly, Qin Yurong suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. She widened her eyes and said, "I'm pregnant. I can't kneel."
He Zheng didn't want to listen to her nonsense. A murderous look appeared on his face. He said quietly, "If you weren't pregnant, you would be dead by now."
dead……
He wants to kill her!
If she was not pregnant, Marquis Anguo would kill her without hesitation.
Qin Yurong's breath was choked, her legs became weak with fear, and her lower abdomen began to ache slightly.
He Huaixuan pleaded, "Father, Rong'er is pregnant, she can't kneel."
"Yeah." He Zheng nodded, appearing very easy to talk to. "You kneel for her."
"Come here, the prince must kneel for four hours and stare at him."
Four hours! Doesn't that mean kneeling from dusk till dawn?
After a pause, He Zheng continued, "Tomorrow this Marquis must see that stone, otherwise, the two of you will disappear from the Marquis' Mansion."
Disappear from the Marquis' Mansion? This means that if they can't find the stone, they will all be expelled from the Marquis' Mansion.
From then on, he was no longer a member of the Marquis' Mansion.
He Huaixuan was shocked to hear these words coming from his father's mouth, and the color on his face faded little by little.
He always thought that his position as the crown prince was as solid as a mountain and could not be shaken.
I didn't expect it to be abolished and revised so easily?
All it takes is a thought or a word from my father.
It was just because he touched his father's reverse scale, and that reverse scale was Jiang Qingyao!
His father valued Jiang Qingyao much more than him, his stepson.
Not to mention that He Huaixuan was scared half to death, Qin Yurong was also almost losing half her life and her soul was about to fly away.
Is that stone so important?
But she lost it!
It is really hard to imagine that if the prince is kicked out of the mansion and is no longer the prince, won’t her position as the prince’s wife also be gone?
I thought that as long as I could hold the prince's heart tightly, I would be able to become his wife securely and my position would be as solid as a rock.
Little do we know that everything is like the moon in the mirror and the flowers in the water, illusory and illusory!
As soon as He Zheng left, Qin Yurong hurriedly pushed He Huaixuan and urged him harshly: "Hurry, go and get the stone back!"
If they can't get it back, they're done.
“Bang!”
He Huaixuan stood up and slapped Qin Yurong in the face with all his strength.
"Ah!" Qin Yurong was slapped so hard that she felt dizzy. Her right cheek was swollen and burning with pain.
She raised her hands to cover her face and broke down crying.
"You hit me, you actually hit me?"
He Huaixuan glared at her without mercy, "This prince really regrets marrying a fool like you."
He was punished again and again.
Was she sent by God to punish him?
He Huaixuan went to the pond to fish out stones with a gloomy face and a bitter heart.
If it were Jiang Qingyao, she would never let him fall to this point.
She would manage the household for him, give him support and comfort him. She was an excellent wife.
Qin Yurong just kept crying beside him, and He Huaixuan became even more annoyed when he heard her crying.
This fishing trip lasted until late at night.
After finally retrieving the stone, He Huaixuan had to go to the ancestral hall and kneel for four hours.
Xi Feng, however, felt that the matter would not be let go like this. Perhaps the adults were concerned about the approaching wedding date and would wait until after the wedding to deal with the prince.
Right now is the calm before the storm.
The next morning.
Just as Marquis Anguo said, Jiang Qingyao received an invitation to the palace banquet.
She took a carriage to the palace banquet.
The palace banquet was very lively. Royal relatives, nobles, dukes, and civil and military officials slowly took their seats.
Although it was her first time attending a palace banquet, Jiang Qingyao was not nervous. She had nothing to do anyway, so she just ate and drank.
Emperor Jinde sat at the top wearing a dragon robe, with the empress and three concubines on his left and right, and below them were the princes, princesses, and other concubines.
Emperor Jinde had a gentle expression as he swept his eyes over everyone and suddenly landed on Jiang Qingyao.
She took a sip of the fruit wine, wrinkled her nose, and seemed not to like it very much, then ate some snacks in small bites.
Well, she's a cute and naive little foodie.
The Queen followed Emperor Jinde's gaze and saw Jiang Qingyao's profile, her eyes lighting up.
What a stunning beauty!
Jiang Qingyao completely ignored the eyes of others and just focused on eating and drinking.
It was only when Marquis Anguo arrived late that she stopped and diverted her attention.
But he saw the figure that everyone was paying attention to suddenly walking towards him.
Jiang Qingyao: "..." No, don't come over.
She didn't want to attract attention.
Unfortunately, Marquis Anguo could not hear her true feelings. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of her and looked down at her.
He Zheng: "Does it suit your taste?"
Jiang Qingyao looked up: "This fruit wine is not very good, I can't get used to it."
He Zheng immediately ordered the palace servants beside him to remove the fruit wine and bring up tribute tea.
Jiang Qingyao was a little surprised. Did he treat the palace like his own home? If he couldn't get used to the drink, could he just change it?
But she still said sweetly: "My Lord, you are considerate."
The people sitting nearby were so shocked that they were speechless.
This is the Marquis of Anguo! How could he care so much about a woman?
Jiang Qingyao blinked gently and said, "My Lord, please go and take a seat."
He Zheng did not stop and was led to his seat by the palace servants, where he sat with the princes.
The prince even called him "Teacher".
Since it is a celebration of the great victory in the expedition to the Northern Desert, the protagonist is naturally Marquis Anguo.
Emperor Jinde appointed Marquis Anguo as the second-rank general of the auxiliary state, and granted him the fiefs of Huaizhou and Qingzhou, as well as a large number of rewards.
The whole audience was shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.
In this way, Marquis Anguo would be the only court official in Daxia who holds both civil and military positions, the Grand General of the State and the Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is extremely powerful!
The two fiefdoms of Huaizhou and Qingzhou were also prosperous places, with more than 30,000 households and countless income from land, taxes, etc.
Even the prince did not have such a rich fiefdom.
Although Marquis Anguo did make great contributions, this award is really too exaggerated.
The power is too great. If Marquis Anguo has any rebellious intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The Duke of Zhenguo had a gloomy face, his expression distorted with jealousy.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!" He Zheng's face remained grim.
Others would have been grinning to their teeth when they heard about such a huge reward, but he remained calm, which was puzzling.
When turning around and returning to his seat, He Zheng's eyes swept across the distance below and suddenly paused.
His expression froze for a moment.
Jiang Qingyao is looking over here.
However, she was not looking at him, but at——
