My nose felt sore and tears rolled down my cheeks.
His tearful appearance was irritating, so the empress waved her hand and had him dragged away.
Wen Cejun's body was also taken away for burial.
"Queen Mother, where is my eldest brother? Isn't he here?" Xu Jinyi looked around but didn't see the eldest prince.
"Let him go back. Only you barge in like this without any rules." The empress tapped her forehead.
Xu Jinyi sat down carelessly and began to eat the cakes on the table, smiling and saying, "I'm just thinking about my mother, right?"
"Mother Queen, you haven't seen me for a month. Don't you miss me, your precious daughter?"
Xu Jinyi raised her gorgeous little face, and her smug look made people feel comfortable just by looking at it.
"Look at you, you have no idea how to eat. You're such a grown-up, but you still like to act like a spoiled child." The empress wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
Xu Jinyi looked disapproving and hugged her fragrant daughter: "No matter how old I am, I am still the Queen Mother's child."
"I think you're just wild. Why did you go to Longshan Temple when you missed the Queen Mother? And why did you stay there for so long?"
To be honest, the empress was used to the Third Princess running into the palace to steal every two days. She really missed her after not seeing her for a month.
Xu Jinyi smiled and said, "I heard that the master there is very powerful. I will go and pray for you, the Queen Mother. I hope that you and Father will give me a few more sisters."
"Nonsense, the Queen Mother is already so old. She injured herself when she gave birth to you earlier. It's not easy for her to get pregnant again."
A few years ago, the empress also hoped to have more children. After all, the imperial physician only said that it would be difficult to conceive, but it did not mean that there was no chance at all.
But after all these years, she no longer had any hope.
When the empress gave birth to the eldest prince, she was only sixteen years old. She had one child every year after that, and she was only nineteen years old after giving birth to Xu Jinyi.
Even now, that is still young.
"Anyway, I think Longshan Temple is very effective. I think you, Queen Mother, will have good news soon." In fact, if we ask the imperial physician to take your pulse now, he will definitely be able to tell the truth.
The Empress was delighted to hear this: "Aren't you afraid that your mother will dislike you if she gives birth to a brother or sister?"
Xu Jinyi's eyes turned cunningly: "You are wrong, Queen Mother. If you give me another sister, there will be one more person in this world who will dote on me."
Xu Jinyi looked up at the rooftop with longing as he spoke: "It would be best if I had two children. Then I could win without any effort."
The corner of the empress's mouth twitched: "Can't you have a little ambition?"
"What can ambition do? Can it allow me to eat well, sleep well, and do whatever I want?"
Feng Jun rarely saw the empress being humiliated, and couldn't help laughing.
Xu Jinyi stared at her father and blinked: "Wow, Father, I haven't seen you for a month. How come your skin has become so good? Your complexion looks much better too. You don't look as thin as before."
"Oh my, if we go out, people might think we are siblings."
The empress also looked at Feng Jun, and agreed with Xu Jinyi's words. She held his hand and said softly, "I'm sorry for wronging you just now."
"The Queen Mother dismissed Father with just one complaint. I remember that the Queen Mother used to send everything in her storehouse to Li Cejun free of charge."
The empress's face froze. Could it be that this child crawled out of her belly?
Why do you always try to undermine her?
"What does Feng Jun like? I will personally take you to the warehouse to choose."
Xu Jinyi nodded aside: "Isn't that right? Father, please don't be soft-hearted later. If you don't take the Queen Mother, you will give it all to the little demon."
Xu Jinyi leaned close to Feng Jun's ear, thinking the Empress couldn't hear him, and said, "Father, you can take more later. The Empress Dowager has a lot of money, so it would be a waste if she didn't take it. Take more and we'll split it fifty-fifty!"
Empress: ………
Whose child is this? Take him away immediately.
"Ahem... What did you do in Longshan Temple this month?" The empress quickly changed the subject, lest her own small treasury be in jeopardy.
"What can I do? I'm praying for you, Queen Mother. To pray for you, I've been eating vegetarian food for a month. I've become so skinny. Queen Mother, look at my little face."
The empress was very pleased with this: "Then stay and have dinner with us. Eat more to replenish your body..."
The empress suddenly looked Xu Jinyi up and down, and was stunned at her face which didn't look thinner at all.
The corners of his mouth twitched: "You'd better stop taking supplements. If you continue, no one will be thinner than you."
Feng Jun never knew that the mother and daughter got along like this, and he couldn't help laughing.
The empress looked at him sadly: "You gave birth to a good daughter, but she is here to bring disaster upon me."
"Isn't this also due to your pampering, Your Majesty?" said Feng Jun.
Xu Jinyi also nodded.
"Well, this is still my fault." The empress looked resigned, which made the father and daughter laugh.
When the food was served, Xu Jinyi, who hadn't eaten fish for more than a month, reached out for his chopsticks.
Seeing that both of them were staring at her, she turned her chopsticks and the tenderest piece of fish went into the empress's bowl.
The second piece naturally went to Feng Jun.
Seeing the little kid looking at the meat in his bowl with painful eyes, the empress felt like she had won back the situation.
He deliberately picked up the fish, blew on it, and prepared to eat it.
But before she put the fish into her mouth, a fishy smell wafted into her nose. The nausea came over her and the empress couldn't help but stand up and vomit.
Feng Jun walked over and patted the empress on the back with concern, while Xu Jinyi stared at the empress's belly with a shining face.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
After a while, Feng Jun helped the empress sit down.
The empress dry heaved for a while, her face looked pale, and she stared at the plate of stinky fish, her voice becoming stern.
"Which chef made this dish of fish? The fishy smell hasn't been removed yet. If his cooking skills are not up to par, he will be kicked out of the palace."
"yes."
Xu Jinyi stopped the waiter and said, "Don't worry about the chef. Hurry and call the imperial physician for the queen mother."
Xu Jinyi smiled widely, staring at the empress's belly with sparkling eyes.
"How can you laugh when I'm not feeling well?" The empress said coldly.
Xu Jinyi nodded foolishly.
Didn’t you see that the empress’s face turned cold?
Feng Jun quickly pulled Xu Jinyi.
"Hehehe... The Queen Mother must be having a little sister. I'm going to have a little sister." Xu Jinyi's hand went directly to touch the empress's flat belly.
The empress was stunned!
Feng Jun was also stunned.
The two of them also thought about the madness in bed over the past month, and their eyes fell unnaturally on the table.
Their faces immediately turned red as they thought of what happened at this table last night.
The empress looked at her belly with anticipation in her eyes.
"Maybe he just had a stomachache?" The empress was worried that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
"I have a feeling that you, Queen Mother, must be having a younger sister. I've seen other people react the same way to eating fish when they're pregnant."
