Fu Tong'er pushed Lu Zhenzhi away and started to leave.
Lu Qixuan called her: "Where are you going? I'll go with you."
Lu Zhenzhi turned his head, and the jade ornament under his left ear turned: "Qixuan!"
Lu Qixuan couldn't help but sigh and looked at Fu Tong'er's bulging belly again. She was pregnant with the Ninth Emperor's child!
Suddenly my eyes turned red with sadness.
Lu Zhenzhi glanced at him and patted his shoulder: "Alright! Thank you!"
Lu Qixuan suddenly hugged Lu Zhenzhi and burst into tears: "She has only been separated from me for half a year! Half a year! Ninth Prince, if you don't love her now, give her back to me! Ninth Prince, give her back to me! I promise to treat her well!"
Everyone was stunned.
Lu Zhenzhi raised his arms and patted him one last time: "Child, just acknowledge her. Whether I love her or not, she will marry into the Regent's Palace with the little prince. You are such a grown-up, and you are still crying..."
Fu Tong'er was shocked: "A grown man crying, I really am..."
I give up!
Having said that, she turned and left.
Behind him, Lu Qixuan burst into tears!
"Ninth Uncle, give Tong'er back to me! She can't!"
…
Qiao'er left Xiaopu behind and was about to quickly follow...
Xiao Pu shouted: "Qiao'er! Where are you going!"
"The young lady is pregnant! There's so much gossip in the palace! I have to go with you! You just wait for me in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Inside the city, a figure wearing a thin blue cloak rode a horse quickly towards the palace gate.
A hundred meters later, a little girl of about seventeen or eighteen was also riding a horse quickly!
When Fu Tong'er rode her horse through the palace gate, she called out, "Princess Xihe," and the guards guarding the palace gate all knelt down.
Chenxi Palace
The Empress was chatting with the concubines in the hall, and Emperor Ming was also there.
Suddenly a voice:
"Princess Xihe has arrived—"
Fu Tong'er walked in quickly, wearing a thin cape. Her bulging belly was invisible unless you looked closely. But if you looked carefully, you would find something interesting.
She knelt in the hall and said, "Xihe pays respect to Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen."
The queen smiled and raised her hand, the golden phoenix hairpin on her head looked very noble.
"Tong'er is here. Come, sit here with me. What does His Majesty say?"
The Queen's tone softened.
He is about the same age as Jiu Ye and is already 38 years old this year.
Emperor Ming nodded and said, "The Queen likes this little girl, so it's okay to have her sit by her side."
Fu Tong'er thanked him and stood up——
A sharp-eyed noble lady suddenly said, "Princess Xihe seems to be pregnant? Princess Xihe hasn't married yet, right?"
Fu Tong'er turned her head, glanced at her, and said, "She just gained weight." Then she walked over and sat next to the queen.
The queen also looked at her belly.
She raised her armored hand and stroked it: "I also think you are pregnant? Are you hiding something? But you are married?"
Emperor Ming said, "Minister Fu Ai said that Princess Xihe has just returned from Dayan. Before that, she was married to King Hui of Dayan."
The Queen asked, "So the child is King Hui's?"
Emperor Ming said: "As long as it is not the regent Prince Chun, there will be no problem."
The Queen asked, "But why?"
Emperor Ming remained silent.
Seeing that Emperor Ming was silent, the Empress said tactfully, "Your Majesty, the sun is shining brightly today. I would like to go to the garden with my sisters to enjoy the flowers."
Emperor Ming patted his knees and said, "Hmm."
The queen got permission, pulled Fu Tong'er up, and said to the concubines: "Sisters, let's go. Let His Majesty stay here alone."
Emperor Ming smiled.
Fu Tong'er helped the queen out.
When they arrived outside Chenxi Palace, the Queen said, "Sisters, please feel free to do as you please."
Then he went to the farther Xizhu Courtyard.
As soon as I got up——
The queen took Fu Tong'er's hand.
"Tong'er, tell me the truth, whose child is yours? Is it Prince Hui of Yan, or Prince Chun, the regent of Great Yan?"
"Your Majesty, if you ask me this... of course,"
"People in this palace saw the Regent Prince Chun bringing a lot of things into your house. If His Majesty knew about this, he would wipe out your entire Fu family!"
