Chapter 336 The Skinny Horse from Yangzhou Sent to Disrupt the Country (33)
The Peony Palace is the only one favored by the emperor, and the six palaces are useless.
Ever since the dispute between the empress, who was then a noble concubine, and Luo Jieyu, Luo Jieyu received a message from the emperor that same day.
After a period of silence, shockingly, Luo Jieyu was actually released from the palace and was even given a good marriage by the emperor.
Although the person to be married to was not a royal, he was from a clean family, and Luo Jieyu would be the principal wife.
This is the first time I have seen such a strange thing as a royal concubine leaving the palace to get married.
When asked about the Luo family, he also seemed to be very secretive.
Luo Jieyu herself was delighted.
As time went on, more and more concubines were released from the palace by the emperor, allowed to marry on their own, and some even received marriage arrangements granted by the emperor.
The strange thing is that the families of these concubines actually acquiesced to this situation.
What is even more bizarre is that the Regent, who has been the actual controller of the court situation for many years, did not say a word.
Although in the court, His Majesty, the Regent and the Crown Prince still maintain a three-way balance of power.
But compared to before, there is now a hint of incredible harmony in the confrontation.
The decree issued by the emperor seemed to be the result of a discussion among the three.
Under such circumstances, the Shi Dynasty became increasingly prosperous and stable.
that is......
I wonder if the situation will change after the birth of the Queen's legitimate son.
after all......
Given how much His Majesty loves the Queen, he must want the Queen's child to be the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince is not your Majesty's prince, and the two of them are brothers who are competitors.
And the prince will not tolerate his position being taken by someone else, right?
As for the Regent...
The Prince Regent has been in office for many years and is only one step away from the throne. He wouldn't be willing to be just a Prince Regent forever, right?
......So worried!
While the ministers were thinking with worries, Shi Wenjin announced the end of the court session.
Shi Qi Jin turned around and left without looking back, walking hurriedly towards the Weiyang Palace.
The ministers were wondering, this prince... was going to pay his respects to the queen again?
Everyone's eyes turned to the emperor on the platform, and saw that the originally gentle emperor now had a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
Without saying a word, he stood up suddenly and walked towards the queen's palace with the same big strides.
Since the emperor was on the upper steps and the prince was on the lower steps, even though the emperor's pace was fast, it was still much slower than the prince's.
The ministers looked at each other, all at a loss for a moment.
Subconsciously, he looked at the Regent.
The Regent was still as cold and majestic as ever.
He straightened his collar expressionlessly, then quickly left.
Look at the direction...
“…” The ministers looked at each other and dared not speak anymore.
In the Weiyang Palace.
The eunuchs of the Imperial Household Department were busy coming in and out, delivering all kinds of precious supplements into the palace like a stream.
The emerald cup is filled with the nourishing bird's nest porridge, which emits a light fragrance;
On the agate plate are placed ginseng slices with a warm color and clear texture, which is obviously a rare and high-quality product.
Since the Queen became pregnant, the Weiyang Palace has received various fine items, some from His Majesty, some from the Regent's Palace, and some from the Eastern Palace.
They are indeed brothers with a competitive relationship.
This fight...
But it is a woman's love.
——A love rival.
As soon as Shi Wenjin entered the Weiyang Palace, he saw the shameless Shi Qijin, who was pulling Qingwu tightly like a lecher.
Regardless of his status, he personally massaged her shoulders and legs, and asked about her physical condition with concern.
Qingwu leaned against a soft golden pillow, her moon-white satin embroidered shoes swaying gently with her movements, and the oriental pearls on the toes of her shoes also trembled slightly.
Shi Qi Jin was half-kneeling in front of the couch, his black python-patterned sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his sturdy forearms.
His hand was holding Qingwu's ankle, and his fingertips were gently massaging her swollen ankle through the surface of the icy silk socks.
His voice revealed an obsession that he himself had not even noticed: "Awu, will this be better?"
Qingwu seemed a little tired and just nodded slightly.
Since she became pregnant, she has always felt unusually tired and her body has often felt swollen and uncomfortable.
However, this did not affect her beauty at all, but made her look more graceful and charming.
Look at Qi Jin at this time, isn’t he completely bewitched and fascinated?
Hearing Qingwu's praise, Shi Qijin was overjoyed, with a satisfied smile on his face, and his fingertips rubbed the light blue veins on her ankle.
He was about to say something else when he suddenly heard the sound of a jade pendant ringing outside the screen.
Shi Wenjin walked in gracefully on the golden carpet, her bright yellow dragon-patterned cloak casting a dazzling golden light behind her.
"Your Majesty, why are you coming to Weiyang Palace right after the court session instead of taking care of state affairs?" Shi Qi Jin stood up slowly with a half-smile on his lips.
His fingertips were still lingering on Qingwu's slender ankles, as if reluctant to let go, and slowly slid away from her ankles.
Strike first.
No matter how ridiculous it is for him to say this given his status.
He didn't seem to care how Shi Wenjin would respond, but continued to speak to himself: "I'm massaging Awu's legs. She's been complaining about back pain these past few days."
Shi Wenjin's gaze fell on Qingwu's slightly red ankle, and his throat rolled unconsciously.
He remembered that last night when he came to the Weiyang Palace after reviewing the memorials, Qingwu's feet were still on his knees, and he wiped them carefully with warm wine.
However, at this moment, these feet were held in the palm of another man's hand. The bright red color was like a fine needle, piercing straight into his eyes, making him feel uncomfortable.
Shi Wenjin took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
He reached out and gently gathered Qingwu's fox fur coat. Then, deliberately speaking in a voice that only the three of them could hear, he said, "I've asked the imperial kitchen to make some new almond yogurt. It's the Queen's favorite."
Shi Wenjin looked at her expectantly, and Shi Qijin also looked at her with a struggling look.
These two men, who could make things happen with a wave of their hands, were now looking at her eagerly like children fighting over candy.
The emotions surging in their eyes were like surging waves, almost drowning her.
However, Qingwu lowered her eyes, cleverly avoiding the two people's intertwined gazes, and stroked the rim of the jade cup with her fingertips.
