Xiao Jing smiled: "I'm glad you're not angry, I——"
Thinking of something, Xiao Jing suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Xu Jinyi's belly with a frightened look.
"Yier——" Xiao Jing gasped.
This silly look, how could he look like the ferocious Regent? Xu Jinyi smiled and said, "Why, you don't want to say hello to your child?"
Joyful laughter filled the palace. Li Youcai naturally went to inform the Queen Mother of such a happy event as soon as possible.
There was no big fanfare, and only a few close people knew about it.
After all, Xu Jinyi's identity is sensitive now.
The emperor woke up in the Yangxin Palace and his face became extremely ugly.
Because the emperor was so angry again in a short period of time, he was lying in bed and couldn't get up. He was in no energy at all.
"Li Zhong, bring me the imperial edict." The emperor breathed slightly and was helped up by Li Zhong. He began to write with trembling hands.
Jiang Yan was teaching a dog servant who bullied his master a lesson when the imperial edict arrived.
Tears of excitement flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes as she looked at the queen's palace clothes and imperial seal in disbelief.
Looking at the pile of jewelry sparkling in the sun, she smiled happily.
No one in Changqiu Palace had expected that their master Jiang Yan, whom they thought was in decline, would actually have such good fortune.
The person who was just said to be disliked by the emperor himself would now be crowned as queen.
"Your servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."
Maids and eunuchs were kneeling in the yard. Jiang Yan straightened her back and watched the scene, tears unable to help falling.
She had finally waited for this day.
Standing in the crowd, Jiang Yan raised his head proudly, with the corners of his mouth tilted upwards, looking at those servants who did not take him seriously, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Everyone, stand up."
"I will beat to death all these maids who have offended me. I will watch over you all. If anyone else has any evil intentions in the future, they will suffer the same fate as them."
Watching several maids being beaten to death, Jiang Yan let out a breath, and the grievances that had accumulated for so many days finally dissipated.
After putting on the gorgeous phoenix robe, Jiang Yan put all the precious jewels on herself.
Looking at herself in the mirror, adorned with jewels and looking so noble, Jiang Yan smiled.
Now she couldn't wait to see the imperial concubine's crying face.
Jiang Yan was filled with joy and put on the phoenix robe and sat on the phoenix sedan chair to express her gratitude to the emperor.
She was very ostentatious on the road. When she saw concubines in the distance, she would deliberately go around them just to make them pay their respects to her.
It looked as proud as a peacock with its tail spread out.
Rong Daren was conferred the title of noble lady last time because of her pregnancy. She thought that because of her son's status as a mother, only Xu Jinyi would be respected in the harem.
Who would have thought that Jiang Yan would suddenly be crowned as queen?
The two of them already had a feud because of something that happened before, but now Concubine Rong had no choice but to pay her respects to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan's gaze fell on Rong Guiren's belly, and his expression became gloomy.
Just when Rong Guiren thought Jiang Yan might let her kneel down, Jiang Yan gently asked her to stand up.
Jiang Yan always knew what she wanted, and she used to be obsessed with the position of queen.
Now that she has the position of queen, she wants more.
The child in Rong Guiren's belly would be a threat to her existence.
So when Jiang Yan left, he was already thinking about how to get rid of Rong Guiren's child.
Jiang Yan was just about to go in to express her gratitude, but before she even entered the door, she heard words coming from inside.
The joy on his face disappeared in an instant, and his passionate heart felt as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
Looking at the phoenix robe on his body, Jiang Yan laughed sarcastically.
The emperor heard the voice and looked outside the door: "My beloved, is that you?" The voice was anxious.
After hearing the words "My beloved concubine", Jiang Yan completely gave up.
Jiang Yan suppressed all the emotions on her face, took a breath, smiled faintly, and walked in.
Ignoring the emperor's pale and frail face, she knelt down politely: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
When the emperor saw that it was Jiang Yan, his expression was lost for a moment, and then he froze.
"Why are you here?"
The reason why the emperor made Jiang Yan the queen was because he was too angry at the time and was eager to prove that the imperial concubine might still care about him.
So he made Jiang Yan the queen to see if Xu Jinyi would be sad, angry, or come to find him.
The emperor had made up his mind that as long as Xu Jinyi came, he would take back the imperial edict and instead make Xu Jinyi the queen.
The second reason is because he promised Jiang Yan that he would make her the queen.
What Jiang Yan just heard was what the emperor said to Li Zhong.
Only then did she realize that the position of queen she had always dreamed of was actually given to her by her lover because Xu Jinyi didn't want it.
With just one word from Xu Jinyi, she is nothing.
His hatred for Xu Jinyi reached its peak, but he had also truly given up on the emperor.
"I'm here to express my gratitude."
The emperor nodded and said, "If you are fine, go back."
For some unknown reason, the emperor became less and less willing to see Jiang Yan. Now he could no longer express his feelings towards Jiang Yan.
It can even be said that he was afraid of seeing Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan smiled slightly, bowed and left.
Seeing Jiang Yan's well-behaved yet unfamiliar appearance, the emperor felt strange and felt as if he had lost something.
Jiang Yan has given up on the emperor. Now the only way for her is to hold on to the power in her hands tightly.
Xu Jinyi was not very surprised when she heard that Jiang Yan had become the queen.
He just looked at Jingqiu who came to deliver the message and smiled.
If she is asked to pay respects to the Empress Dowager tomorrow, is Jiang Yan worthy of it?
Can Jiang Yan bear her gift?
"Go back and tell Jiang Yan that it's not her turn to manage my Changle Palace yet. If she wants to secure her position as queen, she'd better keep her tail between her legs. Otherwise, if I get upset one day, maybe her reign as queen will be over."
Xu Jinyi understood Jiang Yan. Now that she had become the queen, with her vengeful character, she would definitely arrange everything for her tomorrow.
Although she was not afraid of her, and she had many of Xiao Jing's guards around her.
But she is not alone now, and she cannot take risks with the baby in her belly.
Besides, she is acting more and more casually in the harem.
Everyone around her is Xiao Jing's people. If she doesn't want to go, who can touch her tomorrow?
Jingqiu is now a popular figure around the Queen. When she heard Xu Jinyi say this, she immediately made some harsh remarks.
Xu Jinyi gave him a weird smile and slapped him hard.
Jingqiu was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Jinyi to dare to attack her.
"Your Highness, I am a servant of the Queen, and you are just a concubine. How dare you be so presumptuous?!"
"Pa!" Another loud slap.
"You're just a lowly servant, yet you dare to come here and make trouble for me? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
"Just because Jiang Yan became the queen, does she really think she's a nobody? I can beat her up, not to mention you."
What could Jingqiu do? She covered her face and went back to complain in shame.
