Chapter 27: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine's Daughter 27

"Forget it, go tell the emperor how to deal with him and let him decide." The Queen Mother waved her hands, clearly looking like she didn't want to get involved.

Aunt Qiao was speechless. It seemed that no matter what time, a woman's appearance was always the most important.

After sitting with the Queen Mother for another quarter of an hour, Aunt Qiao was ready to return to Kunning Palace.

At this moment, Aunt Qiao was wearing slightly loose clothes, so her bulging belly was not noticeable.

Nanny Liu supported her carefully, while Jin Ling protected her, and many palace maids followed behind her, just like a pampered concubine.

Concubine Shu was sitting in a pavilion not far from Kunning Palace. When she saw Aunt Qiao, she just nodded slightly.

Currently, she and Concubine Yu are the only high-ranking concubines in the palace, and Concubine Yuan is so favored.

Concubine Shu thought for a moment and said, "Cai Que, I see that the lotus flowers in this lake are in full bloom. Tomorrow you can bring people to see if there are any lotus seeds and collect some to send to Concubine Yugui."

After saying that, she curled her lips and smiled, but she didn't know what Concubine Yu Gui would say in response.

Mo Liyuan arrived at Kunning Palace very late in the evening, and the fatigue between his brows was obviously visible.

Aunt Qiao felt a little reluctant and stood up to help him relax.

But Mo Liyuan grabbed Qiao Jinjin's hand that was about to be kneaded by him and said, "My beloved, there is no need to do this. You are still pregnant, and I have no problem with that."

"Your Majesty, is there anything troubling you?"

Mo Liyuan shook his head and said, "Leng Gongyun will arrive in Daming in about ten days. Will my beloved concubine attend the palace banquet then?"

Speaking of this...Jinjin Qiao sat down and thought for a moment, "Everyone knows that I am favored by the Emperor, and Leng Gongyun is a smart man. If I don't go, it will only arouse his suspicion."

"I have been pregnant for three months and the fetus is already stable. If you pay attention, there should be no harm."

Mo Liyuan nodded. He actually had the same idea, but was still hesitating.

"Since my beloved concubine also thinks so, then please welcome him with me openly."

Since the end of the palace banquet at the end of the year, the former Princess Mo Qiong had been well behaved in her own courtyard for a while. When she heard that the Regent Prince Tianqi was coming to Damin, she hurriedly called Prime Minister Qiao.

"Husband"

When Prime Minister Qiao saw Mo Qiong, he didn't look happy at all.

He glanced at her and sat on the chair. "Madam, what do you want to see me for?"

Mo Qiong pursed her lips and said, "My husband, the Regent Prince will come in a few days. There will be a palace banquet in the palace. My husband must take me with him."

"Humph," Prime Minister Qiao flicked his sleeves and turned his head away, "Do you want to make a fool of yourself again?"

"Husband~"

"I will not drink this time. My purpose is to make amends and see if the emperor has calmed down."

Prime Minister Qiao's eyes flickered as he thought of what his master had told him...

"Forget it. I will trust you just once. You must be careful this time. If you do something irreparable again, there will be no hope for you."

Hearing what Prime Minister Qiao said, Mo Qiong immediately smiled and held Prime Minister Qiao's hand flatteringly, "My husband, can you come to my place to rest tonight? You haven't stayed here for a long time."

Prime Minister Qiao waved his hands and pinched his brows tiredly, "No, I have something to do later. There have been too many things these days and I really don't have the energy."

"After this period of time, I will spend more time with you as your husband."

After saying this, he stood up without waiting for Mo Qiong to reply.

Looking at Prime Minister Qiao's back without even turning his head, Mo Qiong gritted his teeth and said, "Xueying, go see if the old man has gone to that jerk's place again."

"I just made a mistake once, but he dared to take a concubine. He was deliberately trying to piss me off."

Madam Xueying did not follow Mo Qiong's order to go out, but comforted her, "You are just a concubine. The master is devoted to you. You have been the only one for so many years. You must be very angry this time."

"If the lady makes a fuss because the master has a concubine, it will push the master further away."

Although Mo Qiong felt suffocated, he also felt that what Xueying said made sense, so he could only suppress his anger and said through gritted teeth, "Let that bastard have it first."

After leaving Mo Qiong, Prime Minister Qiao really came to Concubine Zhong.

When Concubine Zhong saw Prime Minister Qiao coming, there was no expression on her bright face.

Prime Minister Qiao waved his hands, sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea that his concubine had prepared in advance.

"The master is coming soon, you should get ready here. Mo Qiong will also go to the palace banquet. If she makes trouble these days, you should be patient for now. The master's mission is urgent."

Concubine Zhong nodded and said, "I know. As long as Mo Qiong doesn't come here to search, I won't find any clues."

Prime Minister Qiao nodded and said, "Then no one will suspect you as a concubine."

Concubine Yu Gui looked at the fresh lotus seeds in the brocade box, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile, "It seems that Concubine Shu is more anxious than I thought."

Qing'er held the brocade box in her arms, and after a moment's thought, she asked, "My Queen, should we return it?"

"Return it?" Concubine Yu Gui glanced at Qing'er and said, "Since this is a token of Concubine Shu's love, of course it should be kept. Go and put the peace locket hanging on the head of my bed into the brocade box. I will go to Yongshou Palace later."

"The Concubine Xian is dead. The Emperor asked me and Concubine Shu to help manage the six palaces. I certainly cannot let the Emperor down."

Concubine Yu Gui came to Yongshou Palace with her palace maids in a grand manner. Seeing Concubine Shu standing in the courtyard waiting for her, she smiled and said, "Sister, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. Today, I'm here to discuss the palace banquet with you."

When Concubine Shu heard this, her eyebrows curved. She understood Concubine Yugui's meaning very well. "Sister, please come in. Let's discuss this in the room."

Leng Gongyun was leaning lazily in the carriage with his chin in his hand, playing with a pure white jade pendant in his hand. In front of him was kneeling a stunning woman with a graceful figure, her slender fingers gently kneading his leg muscles.

Leng Gongyun stretched out his hand and lifted the woman's chin with one finger.

"Have you remembered what I told you to do?"

The woman smiled when she heard the words, her voice was charming, and even her chest trembled. "Don't worry, Regent. No man can escape from my Mei'er's palm."

After saying that, he stood up, crouched slightly in front of Leng Gongyun, and said softly, "Prince Regent, dare you say that you have never had a moment of affection for Mei'er?"

Leng Gongyun raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Mei'er, then suddenly sneered, "Don't even think about seducing me, I have no interest in you."

Mei Er put away the smile on her face and said, "The Regent Prince really has no sense of romance. No wonder there is no woman in the Regent Prince's Palace."

After saying that, he looked at Leng Gongyun with a strange look and said, "The Regent King is not only not interested in women, right?"

As soon as Mei'er finished speaking, she felt a chill all over her body, and then she realized that Leng Gongyun was looking at her with cold eyes.

He pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you angry now? Mei'er was just joking."

Leng Gongyun pushed Mei'er away and frowned irritably, "Remember your identity."
