When the imperial physician confirmed the news of the empress's pregnancy, both the empress and Feng Jun were stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
"Congratulations, Queen Mother. Congratulations, Queen Mother."
The empress touched her belly with trembling hands. For more than ten years, she thought she would only have three children in her life, but she didn't expect to be pregnant again.
"Feng Jun, did you hear that? We have another child."
Feng Jun never thought that if he changed his personality and lowered his status, he could help the empress have two more children.
The reason why it is certain that it is Feng Jun's child is naturally because the empress has only slept with Feng Jun this month.
When the second princess heard that her father was completely despised by the empress, demoted to a page boy and moved out of the current palace, she rushed into the palace in a hurry.
As he listened to what happened here along the way, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode when he learned that it was the work of that loser Xu Jinyi.
Because Xu Jinyi was also scolding her by mocking her father's humble origins.
What's even more outrageous is that Xu Jinyi kicked her father twice.
Wouldn't that be like stepping on her face?
When the servant reported that the second princess was outside asking for an audience.
Xu Jinyi trembled, grabbed the empress's sleeve and hid behind her.
"Mother Queen, my second sister must be here to cause trouble. I kicked her father. Will she beat me to death?"
"Mother Queen, you have to protect me. Li Concubine was the first to slander my father. I am so angry."
"I know I was too reckless just now, but I didn't do it on purpose."
"I came back happily from praying for the Queen Mother, but my father was slandered. If I hadn't shown up in time, who knows what would have happened to him now?"
The Empress looked at her childish actions with amusement and laughed: "Are you scared now? Where did the momentum you had when you kicked me just now go?"
Xu Jinyi snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "Actually, I don't think I did anything wrong. I did vent my anger with those two kicks just now."
"Father has a good temper and will definitely not argue with him, but I can't bear to see him get angry."
"I also understand Second Sister's anger. Mother, please let Second Sister in. I'll just let her kick me back twice at most."
The empress was helpless when she saw her fearless appearance: "You? When did you really know how to be afraid?"
"What am I afraid of? Don't you, the Queen Mother, have my back?"
The empress liked it when she depended on her, so she nodded slightly.
"Don't talk later. Your second sister won't dare to hit you."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Xu Jinyi stood obediently behind the empress, patted her shoulders in a flattering manner, and winked at her father with a look of triumph on her face.
Feng Jun smiled helplessly.
The Second Princess knelt down as soon as she entered, tears streaming down her face. "Queen Mother, I know my father has done something wrong. Please give him a chance and don't destroy him, okay?"
The second princess was originally planning to come and demand an explanation, but she later figured it out.
It would definitely not work if she started making a scene without any rules, as it would probably only make her mother even angrier.
So I could only hold back my anger.
"Mother Queen, Father truly loves you and cares about you the most. If I lose your favor, I'm afraid Father will be unable to bear it."
"Please ask the Queen Mother to revoke your order."
The Second Princess has always been strong-willed, and the Empress couldn't remember the last time she cried.
After all, she was her own child, and the empress felt a little distressed when she saw her crying.
Thinking of Li Cejun's hard service over the years, there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.
Xu Jinyi stepped forward and said, "Second sister, today is a happy day. If you keep crying like this, you might scare the little sister in our mother's belly."
"What?!"
"The Queen Mother is pregnant? How is that possible?!" The Second Princess screamed and stared at the Empress's belly in disbelief.
Feeling the empress's gloomy gaze, the second princess quickly begged for mercy: "Mother, please forgive me. I wanted to ask whose child this is."
"Is this father's? The Queen Mother often favors father. Could this child be..."
The empress gently took Feng Jun's hand, and this scene shocked the second princess greatly.
The answer she got from the empress made her feel dizzy.
"Second sister, do you think this is a happy event?"
The second princess gave an ugly smile and nodded.
"Mother Queen, for today's joyous occasion, please forgive my father. He knows he is wrong."
The empress was really moved just now, but the second princess's momentary loss of composure really made her angry.
"Your father committed treason. If I don't punish him, wouldn't it be unfair? Just now, your father knelt here and repeatedly asked me to punish Feng Jun."
The Second Princess was about to say something, but Xu Jinyi stepped forward and bowed, "Second sister, I want to apologize to you here. I was too impulsive just now and accidentally kicked Li Cejun, oh no, Li Shitong. I'm sorry."
lightly?!
Her father was kicked so hard that he spat out a mouthful of blood! !
The second princess wanted to refute, but didn't want to anger the empress.
Shaking his head, "It's my father's fault. He made false accusations without investigating the matter thoroughly. I don't blame you."
Xu Jinyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Sister."
On the way to visit Li Cejun, the second princess looked a little dazed.
All she could think about was her mother's pregnancy.
This made her feel panic.
The empress has only three children. The eldest prince will be married off, and the third princess is stupid.
Therefore, the second princess always thought that the throne was hers and it was a foregone conclusion.
She was envious of the Empress's favor towards the Third Princess, and she also wanted to act like a spoiled child like the Third Princess.
But she always thought of herself as the successor, so she tried her best to do everything to the best of her ability.
But now her mother is pregnant again at the age of 35.
Although it is common to get pregnant at the age of 40 in this era, after all, a woman with multiple husbands must leave a descendant for each of them.
It is not uncommon for the empress to be pregnant, but she is unwilling to accept it.
If she can get pregnant, then it should be her father's child.
The Second Princess didn't understand. Her father had served the Empress for many years but still couldn't make her pregnant. Could it be that Lord Feng was gifted?
How can this be?
Before she knew it, the second princess began to blame her useless father.
Walking into the dilapidated Xingyun Pavilion with a questioning look on her face, the Second Princess frowned and smelled a musty smell in the courtyard.
Concubine Li was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, waiting for the palace servants to clean up, her face covered with tears.
The Second Princess looked down upon this kind of behavior, and walked over with an angry look on her face: "If you are not sure, why do you do such a thing?"
Seeing the Second Princess's attitude, Li Cejun became even more heartbroken. "Second Brother, your father is being bullied to death, and you're still blaming me?"
"Isn't this all for you? Now that Feng Jun has completely established himself, I don't think I will have any place in this palace in the future."
"How could your mother do this to me? Even the Third Princess can bully me. I might as well die."
