Seeing that he was still jealous at this time, the second princess sighed deeply and sat down.
Throw out an explosive piece of news: "The Queen Mother is pregnant, and the fetus is over a month old."
Li Cejun's pupils were shocked and he couldn't believe what he heard.
At this moment, his mind went blank and his heart felt like it was being pierced by several needles, causing him to feel a dense pain that was so severe that he was almost suffocating.
Shaking her head, she stood up bewilderedly, her expression forlorn: "No, how is it possible? How could Your Majesty be pregnant?"
"I have served you wholeheartedly for all these years, but there is still no news. Feng Jun has just regained his favor, how could this happen?"
Li Cejun could hardly stand and was shaking all over, which showed that the blow was not light.
The Second Princess' eyes flashed. "Father, the Queen Mother won't do anything to you for my sake. But if the child in her belly is born, will we still have a chance to survive?"
No one knows a son better than his father. Li Cejun gave a wry smile and said, "Now that I'm under house arrest, what else can I do? I don't even have a palace maid to replace me. What can I do?"
The Second Princess's face suddenly turned gloomy and dark, and she understood that Li Cejun meant to refuse.
He also understood that the incident involving Wen Cejun had created a rift between the two of them.
Without showing any concern for Li Cejun's injury, the Second Princess walked away in anger.
Li Cejun fell to the ground and started laughing while crying.
He just knew it.
Once he fell out of favor, he would lose not only his past glory, but also his daughter's heart.
Once he is no longer useful, he will be abandoned by his daughter.
He understood what the Second Princess meant just now. She hoped that he would get rid of the child in the Empress's belly to preserve her position.
But if this matter is discovered, the father and daughter will be the ones to die.
There was a dark cloud over this side, but on Xu Jinyi's side it was like a rainbow after the rain.
The empress became pregnant, which happened just after Xu Jinyi and his sister went to pray for blessings, so the empress was very happy and gave the brother and sister a lot of rewards.
So when the empress took Feng Jun to the warehouse, Xu Jinyi followed them shamelessly.
"Wow, Queen Mother, you actually hid so many good things."
As soon as the door of the warehouse was opened, Xu Jinyi started looting like a bandit entering a village.
"This is good. He will definitely like this."
"This fabric is good too. If it's made into clothes, he'll look great in them."
"This piece of jade is also good, take it."
"Hey, soft armor, is this soft armor that Queen Mother can't penetrate? Give it to Big Brother. It's better than giving him gold, silver, and jewelry."
After saying this, without waiting for the empress's consent, Xu Jinyi ordered the soft armor to be packed up.
"Wait, wait, wait, are you such a thief? What does your brother want with this soft armor? It's so precious, and there are only two of them. Put it down."
"Also, which little devil have you taken a fancy to now? Why do you keep talking about him?"
Xu Jinyi smiled and took the soft armor back from the empress: "Mother Queen, please consider that my eldest brother has prayed so hard and give this to him. He needs it."
The empress blinked, thinking of something: "Could it be that your elder brother has something going on with General Luo?"
Thinking of the palace maid's announcement that the eldest prince and General Luo had requested an audience, the empress suddenly understood.
Xu Jinyi nodded: "Yes, isn't General Luo going to fight next month? Mother, please give this to my eldest brother. He will definitely be very grateful to you."
The empress narrowed her eyes and looked at her innocent daughter.
It seemed as if he was wondering whether she really didn't understand or was really heartless.
The empress was worried that the third princess was trying to win over General Luo and matchmake her brother with him.
If this is the case, then this daughter is no less ambitious than the second princess.
She was still in her prime, and what she hated most was the court officials asking her to establish a crown princess, and the princess's ambitious desire to seize the throne.
It was like cursing her to die early.
That's why she has liked the Third Princess so much over the years because she has no ambition.
As soon as Xu Jinyi saw the empress's expression, she knew what she was thinking.
Emperors have always been suspicious, and her mother is no exception.
He smiled and hugged the empress's hand: "Mother Queen, I would like to ask for your mercy."
The empress's happy expression had faded, and she wanted to see if her daughter had any other requests: "You say."
"My daughter has someone she likes. Please grant me the marriage."
Having just heard about the matter between the eldest prince and General Luo, Xu Jinyi now made such a request. Instead of making the empress happy, she became wary.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Which minister's son is he?"
Xu Jinyi's face immediately fell: "Mother Queen, please promise me first."
The empress felt a little depressed, thinking that Xu Jinyi really wanted to use marriage to win over the ministers and recommend her to be the crown princess.
really!
Who wouldn't want this position?
The empress's expression became even colder, and she even pulled her hand back: "You are still young, there is no rush to marry in two years."
"No, I can't wait any longer. I have to settle him down right away. Otherwise, what if someone else snatches him away?"
To the empress, this sentence sounded like the other party was a high-ranking official, and the one who would compete with her was the second princess.
After all, she had heard that the Second Princess had been secretly approaching those ministers recently.
"Then how can the Queen Mother grant you a marriage if you don't tell her who she is?"
"Then the Queen Mother agreed, right?" Xu Jinyi's eyes sparkled.
"You tell me who it is first, and then Mu Huang will see if he is worthy of my stunningly beautiful daughter."
Xu Jinyi smiled shyly: "Then I told you that the Queen Mother must agree. If you don't agree, I won't marry you."
"In this life, I only want him to be my true lord."
When the empress heard Xu Jinyi's threatening words, the aura around her turned cold.
Empress: "You say."
Xu Jinyi smiled, her eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, and said in a light tone: "I want to marry the only son of the merchant Gu family, Gu Chen."
The empress was stunned and looked straight at Xu Jinyi.
"Who are you talking about?!"
Xu Jinyi thought the empress disagreed, and his face became a little anxious. He pulled the empress's sleeve and said, "Mother, I know he is not the son of a minister, and his family does not hold an official position, but I just like him."
"I won't marry anyone but him. Will the Queen Mother grant us a marriage?"
The empress was a little confused!
Thinking of his previous thoughts, he coughed lightly in embarrassment and his expression relaxed.
It seems that she overestimated her daughter's brain.
It was still her silly daughter.
In her mind, the rights that everyone wants are not as important as eating and sleeping.
The empress was about to say something when important information flashed through her mind. Her eyes widened: "The Gu family you are talking about, could it be the one who killed three wives?"
Xu Jinyi glared at him: "No, those people were not killed by Gu Chenke, they just didn't have that kind of luck."
"Mother, please don't listen to those gossipy women. Gu Chen is a good person. Please grant us a marriage. I really like him, I love him very much."
