Chapter 94: The Divorced Wife of the Childless King 38



Twin boys and girls are washed for three days.

The fourth prince Jing Muyao was made crown prince.

The fourth princess, Jing Qiantong, was named Princess Yu'an and given the fiefdom of Guanyun City.

At the third-day-birth banquet, everyone looked eagerly at Bei Lingyao and her two children.

The most popular family is the Bei family. Since they cannot get close to Bei Lingyao and her mother and son, they will contact the Bei family first.

Since the Bei family came to Beijing, many people have extended olive branches to them. However, some nobles in the capital are proud of their status and think that as long as they make a gesture, the Bei family will be eager to get close to them.

After all, social status was unequal in the past, with scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants as the lowest class, and the scholars looked down upon the merchants.

In addition, although the Bei family had a noble concubine named Zhuang, they had no roots in the capital, so these people did not take them that seriously even though they had good relationships with them.

But as Bei Lingyao became pregnant, she was named a noble concubine and gave birth safely to twins, four princes and four princesses, nine months later.

Now, the fourth prince was made the crown prince only three days after he was born, and the fourth princess was also named Princess Yu An, and her fief was the wealthy Wanyun City.

Everyone knows that Wanyun City is the ancestral home of the Bei family.

Concubine Zhuang and the Bei family's rise is unstoppable.

It is naturally beneficial to make friends with the Bei family and Concubine Zhuang now.

Even the Yang family and the Wang family seem to want to befriend the Bei family.

Bei Liulang was like a piece of fat meat being targeted by vicious wolves. Even though he was only six years old, many people were already concerned about his marriage.

This is Concubine Zhuang's biological brother, the next uncle of the emperor, so it is natural to act as soon as possible.

Mrs. An was overwhelmed. Although her son was popular, she was naturally happy as a mother.

But she also clearly knew who brought all this upon herself. These people were not here because the Bei family was so good or her son was so outstanding.

It's just because of the relationship between Concubine Zhuang and the prince.

Besides, her son was only six years old and still very young, so Mrs. An didn't plan to arrange a marriage for him in such a hurry.

The Yang family, the Wang family and others were extremely unhappy because they were rejected by Bei Chengye and the An family.

It is a blessing for the Bei family that they like their son, but the Bei family is so ungrateful.

Don't you think that now that Concubine Zhuang has given birth to a prince, they can rest easy?

The prince is only three years old now and he still has many years to grow up.

It’s a pity that the emperor has ordered that there will be no beauty contests for ten years, otherwise Concubine Zhuang would not have the chance to be proud.

However, every policy has its own countermeasure.

As soon as the third day of the bath was over, the queen left her concubine sister in the palace to accompany her on the grounds of feeling unwell.

Concubine Jing and the others did want to, but they did not have the power like the Empress to keep her sister in the palace. If they wanted to keep her sister in the palace, they had to get the consent of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, or the Empress.

It was obvious that the Empress would not agree, and the Empress Dowager did not want to cause trouble for the Yongshou Palace. It was even less likely that Emperor Jiahe and Bei Lingyao would agree.

The Sancai Bathing Ceremony was over by then, and today happened to be the fifteenth day of the lunar month. It was only noon when the Emperor came to Kunning Palace to be invited.

According to the rules, the emperor would stay in the queen's palace on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

But usually, when the prince had his third birthday, the emperor would stay overnight in the concubine's palace as a sign of favor.

However, after Bei Lingyao entered the palace, Emperor Jiahe had not set foot in the harem for a long time.

Now the Queen invites the Emperor to Kunning Palace instead of waiting until the evening, probably because she is afraid that the Emperor will offend her.

"I'll go there."

Bei Lingyao and Jiahe Emperor Dao.

"Take Zhang De with you. If anything goes wrong, Zhang De can protect you. Don't go to Kunning Palace alone."

Emperor Jiahe's instructions made Bei Lingyao laugh. This man regarded Kunning Palace as a scourge.

Emperor Jiahe himself was not worried, but he was worried about Bei Lingyao.

"It's broad daylight, Your Majesty, don't worry."

Today is the third day of the lunar year banquet. The ladies of honor entered the palace at the Chen hour and the banquet started at the Si hour (9-11), so it was already past noon.

Only an hour left until it's back.

This was the first time that Bei Lingyao entered Kunning Palace as Emperor Jiahe.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

The queen wore exquisite makeup and was carefully dressed from head to toe.

It’s a pity that it was Bei Lingyao who came, which made the Queen’s dress-up go to waste.

"Queen, what is the matter with you asking me to come here?"

Bei Lingyao acted businesslike.

The Queen's eyes dimmed, revealing a hint of sadness. "I know that the Emperor is angry with me, but I do have something to tell the Emperor."

Bei Lingyao sat down, and the Queen had tea, fruits, and snacks served.

It’s just that the person who poured the tea was the queen’s concubine sister, who was very charming and looked pitiful.

"This is your half-sister. How come she's serving tea and water?"

Bei Lingyao pointed it out bluntly.

The Queen smiled stiffly, "I wanted my concubine to stay in the palace with me for a few days, but I didn't expect that when the Emperor came, she would come out on her own initiative."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, is greeted by your Majesty."

Wang Ruoxue bowed gracefully, revealing her snow-white swan neck and plump chest. A faint fragrance filled the air around her, bringing a pleasant scent.

"Back off."

Bei Lingyao covered her nose and waved her hands, looking nonchalant.

Zhang De immediately stepped forward and gestured for Wang Ruoxue to go out.

Wang Ruoxue's face turned pale, and she looked at Bei Lingyao with a pleading look. She wanted to say something else, but the queen's nanny covered her mouth and pulled her away.

Bei Lingyao naturally would not do as the Wang family and Wang Ruoxue wished. If she really let Wang Ruoxue into the palace, the concubines in the harem would follow suit.

In particular, the Yang family's ambition is even greater than that of the Wang family.

The queen did not look annoyed by this, but rather seemed happy.

When her father asked her to keep her concubine sister in the palace, the queen was not happy, but if her concubine sister was pregnant, it would be nice for her to leave the mother and keep the child.

But the emperor didn't like her, it was because his concubine sister was not blessed.

"It's my fault for letting my concubine's sister disturb the emperor."

The queen bowed and looked apologetic.

"The Queen hasn't told me why you invited me here yet?"

Bei Lingyao did not touch the tea, fruits and snacks on the table. Her indifferent attitude hurt the queen.

"Your Majesty, our child is back."

As soon as these words came out, Bei Lingyao's mouth twitched.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess are none other than our First Prince and Princess..."

"The Queen's idea is absurd. The Crown Prince and the Fourth Princess are twins, but the Eldest Prince and the Eldest Princess are not."

Bei Lingyao emphasized the word "Crown Prince" to remind the Queen not to make a mistake.

"I won't make a mistake. The Crown Prince and the Fourth Princess are our elder children. The Eldest Prince and the Eldest Princess are back, wuwu..."

The queen's eyes were red, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sobbed.

"The Queen is suffering from hypochondria."

Bei Lingyao was so angry that she almost laughed.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am not trying to snatch the child from Concubine Zhuang. It's just that after Concubine Zhuang became pregnant and gave birth, I kept having a dream. I dreamed that our children came back, but I couldn't give birth, so I was reincarnated into Concubine Zhuang's belly."

"So what does the Queen want to say?"

Bei Lingyao looked at the queen coldly.

The Queen knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to visit the Crown Prince and the Fourth Princess for half an hour every day in Yongshou Palace. I feel sorry for the loss of my son and daughter."
