The next day, the winter sun shone on the glazed tiles of the palace, reflecting a brilliant light.
In the imperial garden, plum blossoms bloom proudly in the snow, and the fragrance is floating in the air.
The concubines strolled in groups of three or four along the flower paths, enjoying the rare warm sunshine.
Sheng Xiyan took Hua Xia's hand and walked into the imperial garden with great grace.
She was dressed in a crimson-purple palace dress embroidered with golden phoenix patterns, and a cloak trimmed with snow fox fur, which made her skin look whiter than snow, and she looked graceful and elegant, with a variety of demeanors.
Her seven-month pregnant belly adds a touch of maternal tenderness to her.
When the concubines saw her, they all stopped and bowed respectfully, saying, "Good luck to the noble concubine."
Gao Guiyi and Lin Jieyu came forward, took her arm, and the three of them walked side by side.
Gao Guiyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty looks really good today. I guess the little prince and princess are very well behaved in your belly."
Sheng Xiyan gently stroked her belly, her eyes full of tenderness: "These three children are indeed well-behaved. They make me worry less."
On the other side, Xue Qiong walked over with a white cat in her arms, looking very proud.
She was wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with pink peonies, a golden hairpin on her head, and jade earrings, looking ostentatious and noble.
He looked arrogant, as if he looked down on everyone.
After approaching, she did not bow, but said sarcastically: "Sister Imperial Concubine, your belly is so big, it's better for you to walk less. Aren't you afraid of falling or something?"
Gao Guiyi frowned and said coldly, "Is Concubine Qiong cursing the Imperial Concubine and the Dragon Fetus?"
Xue Qiong sneered, her eyes sweeping across Gao Guiyi fiercely. "How dare you, a person of low rank, disregard me? Come, teach her a lesson!"
Upon hearing this, her maid took two steps forward, but was frightened by Sheng Xiyan's terrifying look and stopped where she was, not daring to move.
Seeing this, Xue Qiong angrily said, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you punish me for this act of insubordination?"
"Who dares!" Sheng Xiyan's voice was sharp, and her eyes shot towards Xue Qiong like knives. "Princess Qiong, I advise you to be quiet and don't touch my people, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
Xue Qiong sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm: "My Lady, you've fallen out of favor, why are you still so arrogant?"
Sheng Xiyan held a gilded hand warmer inlaid with gemstones and said calmly, "Even if I have fallen from favor, I am still a noble concubine, superior to you. You are the one who is committing treason. Why don't you kneel down!"
The concubines around gathered around, their faces showing their desire to watch the fun.
Xue Qiong propped up her neck and said stubbornly, "I won't kneel. If you have the guts, go and sue the emperor and see who he will help!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her legs softened uncontrollably and she fell to her knees with a thud.
Xue Qiong was startled and looked up at Sheng Xiyan, her teeth chattering with fear at the indescribable aura.
"Princess Qiong, be quiet and don't let me teach you how to behave."
Sheng Xiyan's voice was light, but carried unquestionable majesty.
Secretly retract the inside of the gilded hand warmer - the finger used to cast the spell.
Xue Qiong cursed in her heart: Wait until I become the imperial concubine, then I will deal with you!
Just as she was about to stand up, the white cat in the palace maid's arms suddenly broke free and rushed straight towards Sheng Xiyan's stomach.
For a moment, everyone held their breath.
Just as the white cat was about to hit Sheng Xiyan's belly, it suddenly stopped in mid-air when it was less than a finger's distance from the pregnant belly, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
The golden light that suddenly appeared on Sheng Xiyan's pregnant belly dissipated.
The white cat quickly got up and ran away.
Everyone was shocked and whispered, "The imperial concubine's belly seemed to be glowing just now."
"Yes, there was a golden light."
Sheng Xiyan was terrified. If she hadn't been quick-witted and used her magic power to freeze the white cat, today would have been a disaster day for her and her three children.
Her dark eyebrows slightly raised as she ordered, "Xiao Zhuozi, go get the white cat and see what's going on."
"Yes, your majesty." Xiao Zhuozi took the palace servants and left to receive the order.
Gao Guiyi clasped his hands together and breathed a sigh of relief: "Amitabha, it must be God who protected the dragon fetus in the concubine's belly, so it was not hit by that beast, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Sheng Xiyan looked at Xue Qiong with a cold gaze: "Princess Qiong, you dare to instruct the evil cat to murder the royal heir. I will not forgive you! Come, arrest her and send her to the Ministry of Prudence!"
After receiving the order, several palace maids immediately stepped forward and captured Xue Qiong.
Xue Qiong struggled and shouted, "Let me go! I am your favorite concubine! How dare you arrest me! Your Majesty, save me!"
Seeing this, her palace maid hurriedly ran away and headed towards the Yangxin Palace.
Hua Xia asked in a low voice: "My Lady, do you want to stop them?"
Sheng Xiyan shook her head, a meaningful smile on her lips: "No need."
What she wanted was to bring the matter to Xuan Ling.
At this time, in the Yangxin Palace.
Ambergris smokes slowly in the gilded incense burner.
Xuan Ling was discussing government affairs with several court officials.
Eunuch Fu hurried in and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, something has happened."
Xuan Ling waved his hand, signaling the court officials to withdraw. "My dear ministers, please go back and prepare your memorials. Submit them to me tomorrow for my review."
After the court officials left, Xuan Ling picked up the ginseng tea and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Xue Qiong's maidservant knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, please save our queen quickly. The imperial concubine wants to send her to the Shenxingsi!"
Xuan Ling sipped half a cup of ginseng tea slowly before ordering, "Go and bring Concubine Gui and Concubine Qiong here. I'll ask what's going on."
Soon, Gao Guiyi and Lin Jieyu came in with Sheng Xiyan.
