Chapter 168 Isn’t Bai Qinghuan dead?
This queen has almost no presence in the harem. Why did my father let her out?
Concubine Yun forced a stiff smile at the corners of her mouth, with an expression that showed her deep affection was betrayed.
I didn't know whether to cry or not. If the Queen Mother saw it, she would definitely be heartbroken.
"This is what I should do."
Unfortunately, it was His Majesty who saw her like this, and he had no sympathy for her at all.
This woman is always pretending in front of her mother, and she is still pretending now.
If you don’t know him, you might think he is a heartless man.
God knows he has no love for Yun Yuxiang at all, all he feels is annoyance.
He became even more impatient with Yun Yuxiang in front of the Queen:
"It is indeed what you should do. The Queen has been unwell for many years, so I asked you to take charge of the six palaces. Now that the Queen has recovered, you don't have to worry about it anymore. It's time to return the property to its original owner."
Concubine Yun was heartbroken: "Your Majesty, I..."
She was a little shaky. Why was His Majesty so cruel?
"Send the gold book and treasures that are temporarily stored with you to Changqiu Palace in a while."
Concubine Yun almost suffocated to death.
She has been in charge of the harem for so many years and has long regarded herself as the queen. How could she bear it when the golden book and golden treasure were suddenly taken away from her?
The emperor was determined and she would never disobey him.
On second thought, all the concubines in the harem are hers. As long as she keeps making things difficult for Han Shurong, she will make mistakes, and the hat of incompetence will be put on her head, but the golden book and golden treasure will still return to her hands.
So, although she was reluctant, she still said, "Yes, I will send it to the Queen after the dinner."
Chi Zhuoxu's face turned pale. He couldn't believe it. Was his father's favor towards his mother all these years fake?
Why did my father take away my mother's power over the harem as soon as the queen came out?
He looked at the queen with hatred. It was all because of this woman!
When he ascends the throne, he will definitely kill her.
"Father, my mother..."
He wanted to fight for it again, but An Ninghou saw this and took advantage of the situation. Before Chi Zhuoxu could finish, he knelt down and shouted:
"The emperor is a man of great wisdom and military strategy, the queen is a model for the country, and the dragon and the phoenix bring good luck! Dongxi will surely have good weather and peace in the coming year!"
When the ministers and the ladies behind the queen saw that Marquis An Ning had knelt down, they also knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is a man of great military and literary talents, and the queen is a model for the country. Dragon and phoenix bring good luck! The coming year of Dongxi will surely be a year of good weather and peace for the country and the people!"
The emperor laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Well said, my Dongxi will surely have good weather, peace and prosperity!"
The emperor and the empress walked side by side to the Linde Hall.
When Bai Qinghuan arrived, he found that Bai Qingyou was also there.
She couldn't help but take a few more glances. It was incredible that a concubine could attend such a dinner.
You are really capable.
It's just that she is not qualified to meet the queen, so she is waiting in the Linding Hall.
I wonder what kind of tricks she will perform tonight?
If there wasn't enough, it would be impossible to convince Chi Zhuoxu to let her come.
She is looking forward to it.
Bai Qingyou also saw her, and seeing her sitting below him, he felt a strange sense of pleasure in his heart.
Although she was behind the prince's wife and concubine, she was still ahead of Bai Qinghuan.
This is the sense of superiority of the royal family.
She glanced at Bai Qinghuan with disdain. So what if you are a county princess? The emperor can confer the title of county princess on you today, but may revoke it tomorrow!
As long as everything goes well tonight, I will be able to crush Bai Qinghuan in this life.
Everyone's position was assigned. Bai Qinghuan was placed next to Princess Changle. There were not many princesses, and below the princess was the county lord.
Letting her sit next to Princess Changle is also a way of taking care of her.
Although she didn't know whose idea it was, she appreciated the good intention.
As for Bai Qingyou's eyes, she pretended not to see it.
Yun Yuyan sat in her seat, her eyes occasionally glancing forward at Bai Qinghuan.
Watch her every move, especially whether she goes to see the Regent.
I just looked for a while but didn't find anything.
She sat above him, which was an extremely frustrating thing, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Mrs. Yun looked a little unhappy and glared fiercely at Yun Shiwei behind her.
"You actually sneaked out without my knowledge. If my husband knew about this, he would never forgive you."
The girl named Yun Shiwei retorted unconvincedly: "Aunt, Shiwei has not left the house for so many years. She has passed the age of marriage. If she doesn't come out, she will not be able to get married."
Her mother, Madam Yun's sister-in-law, Madam Yun II, was also distressed for her daughter: "Sister-in-law, why doesn't uncle let Shi Wei go out? This is unfair to Shi Wei. Besides, my husband is also a third-rank official. We are qualified to come."
"Do you know the consequences of not listening?"
"Sister-in-law is making a fuss out of nothing. Why doesn't Shi Wei come to the palace's New Year's Eve banquet to broaden her horizons? She is well-behaved and obedient. What consequences can there be?"
"you..."
Madam Yun wanted to say something, but Yun Yuyan stopped her.
Now that everyone is here, wouldn't it be more eye-catching if we rush back now?
Moreover, the commotion here has attracted other people's attention.
Madam Yun reiterated: "You must behave yourself tonight, otherwise don't blame me and my husband for being rude."
Madam Yun was disdainful in her heart, but she still looked respectful on the surface.
Although Yun Yizi no longer has the title of Grand Tutor, his power is still considerable.
My husband's promotion in official position still depends on him.
Bai Qinghuan looked around and found that Yun Shiwei looked different from others.
She has fair skin, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, black eyes and black hair.
Her first reaction was that this was a mixed-race child.
In ancient times when transportation was not well developed, mixed-race children were all on the border.
Moreover, in ancient times when people paid great attention to bloodlines, people were more discriminated against mixed-race people.
It was so obvious at the New Year's Eve banquet that it was hard for her not to notice it.
"Who is that?"
Li Changle also took a few more glances and said, "I haven't seen her before. The seat she sat in belongs to the Yun family."
Because in front of her is
"You haven't seen it either?"
As if sensing their gazes, Yun Shiwei looked over.
He was smiling at first, but after seeing Bai Qinghuan, his eyes turned into surprise.
Bai Qinghuan thought to himself that he had never seen her before, so why did she have such an expression when she saw him?
He smiled and looked away.
Yun Shiwei lowered her brows and closed her eyes, no longer looking around.
Her eyelashes drooped, hiding her thoughts.
How come Bai Qinghuan is still alive?
Shouldn't she have been drugged at the plum blossom viewing banquet at the Princess's Mansion this winter, committed adultery with Li Chengze, had her engagement broken off by the Third Prince, been kicked out of the house by her Prime Minister father, and then drowned in the lake?
How come he is still alive? Not only alive, but also sitting in such a front seat.
It seems that she is either a princess or a county lady.
Strange, why is it different from the previous life?
Nothing unexpected will happen in this life, right?
Feeling a little unsure, he clenched his hands tightly.
