"Really? You think so too?"
Wen Yunxiao had an indifferent expression and glanced at the court officials.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Wu also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what the Minister of Rites said is reasonable. How Your Majesty favors the concubine is your family affair. As a minister, I naturally have no right to interfere."
"Allowing a concubine to sit on the throne of Empress is against the moral code. This is a matter of state! Your Majesty, please find another place for Concubine Rou."
Prime Minister Wu is the imperial concubine's father.
Even the Imperial Concubine couldn't come to the palace banquet today, and instead she stole the limelight. Lin Chunhuan wasn't surprised at all that she would be targeted. She clenched the Emperor's hand a little awkwardly, "Your Majesty, this humble concubine..."
"It's okay." Wen Yunxiao shook her hand calmly.
Even the Queen Mother gave her a reassuring look.
"I think the Prime Minister is wrong." Wen Yunxiao took a deep breath. "Roupin is now more than four months pregnant and will give birth to a royal heir soon."
"I think she is suitable for this seat."
The emotions that had been suppressed for several months were finally released at this moment. Seeing the uproar in the hall caused by his words, Wen Yunxiao pursed his lips tightly, and even felt a sense of pleasure in revenge!
As for the Prince of Jin, his face had turned completely pale. No matter how well he concealed his suppressed emotions, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of unwillingness. He didn't even notice that the wine glass in his hand was crushed into pieces.
Jiang He's body softened, and if it weren't for Princess Changning supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.
Lin Chunhuan is pregnant?
Is she pregnant with a dragon heir?
This...how is it possible!
The expressions on the faces of the court officials were even more wonderful.
Those who had been close to Prince Jin before were now eager to stay as far away from the people in Prince Jin's mansion as possible.
I’m afraid I’ll be contaminated by something terrible!
Since there is already a dragon heir, the idea of adoption is naturally nonsense.
Several old ministers in the court, their faces flushed with excitement, hurriedly stepped forward tremblingly, "Your Majesty, is what you said true? Is this lady really pregnant?"
"Taifu, what are you talking about? I never joke. Could it be that I would deceive you about the matter of the royal heir?"
As soon as Wen Yunxiao said this, Lin Chunhuan immediately felt that many eyes were all fixed on her belly, with excitement, inquiry, and even viciousness!
After more than four months, even though her belly is still not very obvious, her waist is already slender, and if you look closely, you can still see a slight bulge.
Lin Chunhuan immediately shrank into the emperor's arms for a moment, "Your Majesty, I'm a little scared..."
Her voice was weak and weak, like she was trying hard to suppress her tears, which made people feel numb.
Men are always kind and gentle to women.
Wen Yunxiao saw all of this. The more delicate a woman is, the more she can arouse a man's desire to protect her. "Don't be afraid, with me here, no one can touch you."
But when the emperor's eyes were out of reach, Lin Chunhuan raised her eyes and met Jiang He's gaze in the corner. Her slightly red eyes were filled with tears, and she looked so pitiful.
She cried very elegantly.
At which angle should the tears fall, at which degree should the eyes be raised, and at which side profile should the most be seen to make people feel distressed.
She had practiced every move countless times in private.
In Jiang He's eyes, those eyes were filled with love and helplessness, without a trace of flaw at all.
It was just a glance. The moment he looked away, Lin Chunhuan still saw Princess Changning's face twisted with jealousy, but at this moment she let out a low sob, which attracted Wen Yunxiao's attention.
"What happened to Huan'er?"
Before Lin Chunhuan could answer, Wen Yunxiao raised his eyes and saw Jiang He's fixed gaze. He was so distracted that even the princess beside him tugged at his sleeve several times before he came back to his senses.
He immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, I don't like him."
Lin Chunhuan murmured.
Wen Yunxiao's eyes turned colder as he looked at Jiang He. "Don't worry, Huan'er. We will not let this person into the palace anymore."
The hall was filled with congratulations from court officials. For a moment, all the guests were having a great time, and Jiang He's misconduct was forgotten by most people. As for Lin Chunhuan, she was a concubine but sat in the position of queen.
No one said a word at this moment.
Even Prime Minister Wu, despite his extremely ugly expression, did not say a single word that he shouldn't have said.
Of course, many people are still in a wait-and-see state. After all, they are just pregnant now. Whether they can give birth smoothly is another matter. It’s just now.
It would be much more difficult for the King of Jin to win over the court officials to strengthen his power than before.
Because she was pregnant, the Queen Mother ordered early on to replace the wine in front of Lin Chunhuan with lily and water chestnut soup.
But since this thing was placed in front of him, Lin Chunhuan didn't even touch it.
"Empress Roupin, this lily and water chestnut soup was made for you by the Empress Dowager herself, but you didn't even try it. Isn't that a disservice to the Empress Dowager's kindness?"
Princess Changning frowned and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
If it were any other day, after hearing these words, the empress dowager would have felt somewhat aggrieved no matter how good her temper was.
But recently, Lin Chunhuan really couldn't stand the emperor's desires that had nowhere to be released, and repeatedly refused him entry on the grounds of morning sickness.
After a while, even the Queen Mother knew that she had severe morning sickness this time, so she was extremely careful and meticulous about her diet.
After hearing this, instead of blaming her, she asked nervously, "Is Concubine Rou feeling unwell again?"
"If you can't drink it, then don't drink it. I'll have someone prepare something else for you!"
Lin Chunhuan nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "I really don't have a good appetite."
"But what Princess Changning said is correct. After all, it's a gift from the Queen Mother, and it really shouldn't be wasted. I see that Princess Changning is probably five or six months pregnant, right?"
"How about Your Majesty, please give this lily and water chestnut soup to the princess on my behalf?"
Meeting that pair of clear eyes, Wen Yunxiao could only smile bitterly.
Changning and his wife had been trying to stir up trouble today, and he was already very unhappy. However, his Huan'er was really kind-hearted, so he couldn't get angry after being interrupted. "Forget it, then give it to the princess."
The soup was placed in front of Changning.
No matter how unhappy she was, she had to express her gratitude properly at this moment.
Princess Changning had never expected that not only did her words have no effect, but they also made the Empress Dowager and the Emperor even more caring towards that woman.
He was so angry that he pinched Jiang He's arm.
"Still looking!"
Chang Ning's eyes seemed to be filled with poison as he glared at Jiang He sinisterly, "Don't think I didn't notice. Ever since that bitch appeared, you haven't taken your eyes off her. I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"
