Emperor Qin Huan drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, then looked at the envoy who had offered him a toast. He casually held up the empty cup and said, "Your Excellency is attentive. I will drink the wine in this cup. Reward."
After the envoy recognized the wrong country, Emperor Qin Huan not only did not get angry and punish him, but even rewarded him generously.
Most of these envoys from neighboring countries have only come to Great Qin once in their lives, and some of them do not know the Queen. Since Concubine Heng is now sitting next to Emperor Qin Huan, such misunderstandings are more likely to occur, which is normal.
But the problem is, what if Emperor Qin Huan has no intention of resolving this misunderstanding?
The officials of the Great Qin court were extremely shocked. Their Great Qin was the Celestial Empire. If Emperor Qin Huan had not had other plans, how could he have allowed the envoy to do something that would damage the dignity of the Queen!
In order to build momentum for Concubine Heng, Emperor Qin Huan actually went to such lengths that it was simply unbelievable!
Now that Concubine Heng is pregnant, she is already very noble. If Emperor Qin Huan is still not satisfied with the mother of his only child being just a Concubine...
The Qin officials who had intended to explain the situation to the envoys all shut up and began to think about the current situation.
Even the emperor himself has acquiesced to the matter. No matter what they say, it will be useless. Emperor Qin Huan may even remember it because of this matter. It is simply not worth it. It is better to carefully figure out Emperor Qin Huan's thoughts.
If Concubine Heng gave birth to a boy, he would be the emperor's eldest son, or even his only son. At that time, even they themselves would have to curry favor with Concubine Heng. Why bother to cause trouble for Emperor Qin Huan and Concubine Heng at this time?
This group of evil people lowered their heads and pretended not to know.
The envoys from other countries were confused and thought that Bai Yuzhi was the Queen of Qin. When they saw that she was pregnant, they praised her even more. However, the real Queen at the banquet was already restless and her face was ashen.
Bai Yuzhi, this lowly bitch of humble origin, if the Queen had known this day would come, she would never have given Bai Yuzhi the chance to climb onto the throne even if she was anxious to overthrow Concubine Rong!
The Queen Mother was surprised to see Emperor Qin Huan like this, but it would be a shame to offend the Emperor at the banquet. After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to discuss the matter with Emperor Qin Huan in private.
During this grand banquet, Concubine Rong was obsessed with testing Bai Yuzhi, the Queen felt even more humiliated, and the Queen Mother and court officials were full of thoughts, so that except for the envoys who did not know the truth, only Emperor Qin Huan and Bai Yuzhi were in a good mood.
How could Bai Yuzhi not be in a good mood? She had been in the Purple Palace for so long, she was almost feeling suffocated. Now that Emperor Qin Huan had let her go, she felt that the beautiful singing and dancing at the banquet were simply divine and magical. Seeing her in excellent condition and her rosy face, Emperor Qin Huan was also happy, and the atmosphere at the banquet was peaceful and peaceful.
It’s a pity that there are always some people who are short-sighted and fail to see the situation clearly, and always want to create something to disrupt the good atmosphere.
For example, the queen was so angry that she almost lost her mind.
"I've heard rumors among the people that if a pregnant woman doesn't have any major symptoms during pregnancy, she's probably expecting a girl. Looking at Concubine Heng's current appearance, I'm pretty sure she's carrying a little princess. If the little princess looks like Concubine Heng, then Your Majesty will surely love her dearly."
The child hadn't been born yet, but the Queen's words seemed to imply that she could see through their bellies whether the babies in hundreds of bellies were boys or girls, and she spoke with great certainty.
Bai Yuzhi knew that what the Queen could not stand the most was the threat to her position, but she didn't know whether the Queen was just that stupid or was really angry. When she said this, didn't she know that the person who would be the most unhappy would be Emperor Qin Huan?
After all, even if Bai Yuzhi gave birth to a princess, at most she could not be canonized as queen legitimately, and could not dethrone the queen, but she could not escape the title of a first-rank imperial concubine.
By then, she will be in the same position as the vice empress, not only will she be in charge of the palace power, she will also have Emperor Qin Huan's only princess, and she will even still be Emperor Qin Huan's most beloved concubine.
Such status and favor are simply incomparable to that of a childless and disfavored queen.
But for Emperor Qin Huan, he lost the only prince who could naturally inherit his throne and kingdom.
Bai Yuzhi didn't even bother to reply to the Queen. She was in a high position now, and even foreign envoys thought she was the Queen. Emperor Qin Huan didn't like the Queen herself, so why should she bother with this arrogant Queen?
Bai Yuzhi found it very funny when she recalled the empress's arrogant attitude as if she was dust before she met Emperor Qin Huan.
Things change, Queen, and this time it's your turn to humble yourself.
But Bai Yuzhi's ignoring didn't mean that Emperor Qin Huan could tolerate it. The Queen didn't lower her voice when she spoke, and she did so on purpose to save face in front of the envoys and court officials. But when Emperor Qin Huan didn't want to give her face, the Queen was no different from a slave.
This is the case with the Qin Dynasty. The supremacy of imperial power is no joke.
Emperor Qin Huan: "This is the first time I know that you are so knowledgeable about this matter. It is amazing that you can express such opinions even though you have never been pregnant. If you really like me, I will send you to the Imperial Hospital to serve."
Bai Yuzhi saw that the Queen's face turned pale after hearing what Emperor Qin Huan said, and he felt that Emperor Qin Huan was really sharp and always managed to hit the Queen's sore spot.
Why did such a couple get married at that time?
It was definitely not for profit, because the queen was not of high birth, and no one in her family was an official. It was just that the queen's biological father was granted a title to show the favor of Emperor Qin Huan, otherwise it would not have been so wrongly identified and no one would have spoken up for the queen.
It was certainly not because of Emperor Qin Huan's own preference. Whether it was Concubine Rong or Bai Yuzhi herself, these two generations of favorite concubines were completely different from the empress in temperament and appearance.
However, the Queen loved and feared Emperor Qin Huan, otherwise she would not have regarded Concubine Rong as a thorn in her side. Concubine Rong was not a threat to the Queen's position like Bai Yuzhi, who was pregnant. The Queen dealt with her purely because Concubine Rong was favored. She might have felt that Concubine Rong was too popular, but the fundamental reason was that Emperor Qin Huan liked Concubine Rong more than the Queen herself.
So the truth is that the flowers have feelings but the water doesn't. The queen really has feelings for Emperor Qin Huan, but Emperor Qin Huan doesn't like the queen.
So what exactly was the reason that made the queen become the queen?
Bai Yuzhi was a little curious. After all, although she knew the original novel, it was developed from the perspective of the heroine Rong Fei, and many people did not have background introductions, for example, it was not written why the queen was named queen.
And only now did she feel that the development of the situation was somewhat inconsistent with Emperor Qin Huan's character.
Given Emperor Qin Huan's self-centered attitude, if he had already intended to depose the queen and establish another one, with his brutal personality, he would have gotten rid of the queen as quickly as possible, such as causing her to die suddenly and then announcing to the public that she died of illness.
But he didn't. Although he intended to depose the queen, he didn't want her to die. Instead, he preferred to just depose her and save her life.
There must be something that Bai Yuzhi doesn't know, and this matter is likely to change some important things and even affect Bai Yuzhi's mission, which makes her unable to ignore it.
