Chapter 71 Queue up at the back
This face that I think about day and night, under the light, looks like a fairy that has fallen into the mortal world.
Every move is captivating.
Chi Ming gave Chi Zhuoxu a look that was icy cold, and said directly that he didn't want the eyes anymore.
Chi Zhuoxu got goose bumps on his back.
Feeling something, he looked back and said, "Meet the Emperor's uncle."
"Go line up at the back."
Stay away from Bai Qinghuan.
Chi Zhuoxu didn't dare to say a word and obediently went to line up at the back.
There are about ten people between him and Bai Qinghuan.
Chi Ming then looked forward again because it was his turn.
Bai Qingyou's face was distorted. The bitch Bai Qinghuan came out to seduce His Highness again.
The engagement has been broken off, but you are still so shameless. You deserve to be thrown into a pig cage and drowned in a pond!
She did not follow Chi Zhuoxu immediately, but stood straight in front of Bai Qinghuan.
"Sister, do you want to guess riddles too? I remember that you don't seem to be able to compose poetry. The riddles are all expressed in poems. Can you understand them, sister?"
Bai Qinghuan ignored her contemptuous tone and said, "Don't worry about it, sister. Although I am not talented, I can still understand the poems."
He looked at Bai Qingyou's still-still belly:
"By the way, I haven't congratulated my sister on her pregnancy yet."
After hearing this, Bai Qingyou straightened her back a lot, and gently stroked her belly, with a smile on her face that also carried a maternal glow.
"Thank you, Sister. Qingyou didn't expect that she would be so lucky. She got pregnant in less than a month."
"It's a blessing indeed. If it's a boy, he will be the eldest son of the Third Prince's Mansion and have a noble status. But as a younger sister, I'm afraid I can't raise my own child myself, right?"
How could a concubine be qualified to raise royal offspring? At least she had to be a concubine.
Bai Qinghuan knows how to touch someone's heart.
But Bai Qingyou wasn't worried at all: "His Highness said that he would ask for a concubine for me soon."
The smugness in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Bai Qinghuan wished: "Then I wish my sister gets what she wants."
She said it so sincerely that Bai Qingyou almost thought she was sincerely blessing her.
"Yes, there is good news. I will send someone to inform my sister."
"Look forward to the good news."
A few days ago, they asked us to close it, but no action has been taken yet.
In fact, Bai Qinghuan also knew the reason, and she deliberately asked Biyun to go out and find out the movements of the court.
Recently, all the civil and military officials in the court are worried about the snow disaster in Fuzhou.
Some grain was transported in, but given Fuzhou's large population, it was just a drop in the bucket.
In addition, heavy snow has been falling for more than ten days in a row, and Fuzhou has many mountainous roads, so it is difficult to sled.
The disaster in Fuzhou must be quite serious. We have sent an imperial envoy and 50,000 soldiers there to provide relief, but no news has been received yet.
At this time, if Chi Zhuoxu went to the court to report on such a trivial matter as appointing a concubine as a concubine, how would the ministers view him?
What Chi Zhuoxu should adopt is a delaying tactic, since Bai Qingyou can't do anything anyway.
You can even run with a baby.
It has to be said that in ancient times, once a woman got married, she had almost no way out.
The same is true for Bai Qingyou.
She wanted to be a concubine, and hoped to become a concubine, or even a noble concubine or queen in the future. It all depended on whether she agreed or not.
Bai Qingyou's plot against her is not over yet.
If she were to gain power one day, she would definitely make her life a living hell.
Therefore, the best way is to block her way forward so that she can no longer climb up.
She stared at Chi Ming who was guessing riddles thoughtfully. Tonight was her chance.
Princess Changle pulled her sleeve and said, "It's our turn now."
Bai Qinghuan glanced at Chen Qingrui who was happily chatting with Chi Zhuoxu and smiled playfully.
"Let's go."
Chen Qingrui and the daughters of many aristocratic families in the capital were eyeing the third prince.
Whether it was for the purpose of placing a bet or out of genuine love, they all tried their best to get into the Third Prince's palace.
Bai Qingyou was laughed at for no apparent reason. Was Bai Qinghuan's eye cramping?
She turned and walked towards the third prince.
But what did she see?
Chen Qingrui smiled so coquettishly, and actually seduced His Highness while she was away!
In front, I don’t know what Chi Zhuoxu said, Chen Qingrui smiled and lowered her head, revealing her white neck.
Like a beautiful swan, she shows off her beauty to the fullest.
She dressed up very formally today and used the rouge bought from Ningxiang Pavilion. Her skin was as white as snow and was extremely beautiful.
Her beauty that was only 5 points was dressed up to be 7 points, which even surprised Chi Zhuoxu.
Chi Zhuoxu also had thoughts about Chen Qingrui. The Minister of Personnel was a powerful official.
He is bound to win over.
Naturally, Chen Qingrui would be taken into the mansion, and he took advantage of her advances.
"Chen Qingrui!"
The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice Bai Qingyou coming over.
Bai Qingyou squeezed in between Chen Qingrui and His Highness without warning.
Chen Qingrui was pushed and staggered. If the maid behind her hadn't supported her, she would have fallen down.
"ah..."
She secretly hated Bai Qingyou for being so rude, but she was unknown and had no status now, so it was not the time to offend her.
She just looked at Chi Zhuoxu aggrievedly, and Chi Zhuoxu gave her a comforting look.
"Qingyou, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Qingyou held Chi Zhuoxu's arm and said, "Your Highness, there are too many people. I'm afraid they will touch my child."
When it comes to the child, even if Chi Zhuoxu was dissatisfied with her, he didn't say it out loud.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Bai Qingyou looked at Chen Qingrui defiantly, and his show-off was self-evident.
This is probably what a victorious rooster looks like.
"Qingrui, I didn't mean it. You won't blame me, right?"
"Sister, you are joking. How could that be possible?"
Chen Qingrui smiled back. Even though she felt extremely jealous in her heart, she looked generous and not jealous.
Let His Highness see how noble my character is and how suitable I am to be the Third Prince’s consort.
Soon, their attention was drawn to the exclamations in front of them.
Bai Qingyou was surprised: "The Regent guessed it so quickly?"
Is it true that this powerful man has such good literary talent?
To be honest, Chi Zhuoxu is no match for the Regent, but no matter how good the Regent is, he cannot ascend to that position.
So she would definitely choose Chi Zhuoxu.
I just feel a little sad.
Chen Qingrui said, not wanting to be left behind, "Sister Yuyan is also very fast."
She is proud of it! Sister Yuyan is the most talented woman in the capital.
Unlike the guy next to me, I don’t even know how much knowledge he has.
Chi Zhuoxu also admired Yun Yuyan's literary talent: "My aunt deserves to be the most talented woman."
Tutor Yun was his maternal grandfather. He had many students all over the world, and his disciples accounted for at least one-third of the court officials.
This is also what he is proud of.
Chi Zhuorui, the fifth prince who was not as weak as his maternal grandfather, was no match for him at all.
A gloomy look flashed across Bai Qingyou's face. His Highness said that Yun Yuyan was the most talented woman, so what about her?
"Your Highness, it's our turn."
She also wanted to go in and see what the riddles were.
I must guess it faster and overshadow Yun Yuyan.
In front, Chi Ming had already reached the position of the 50th lamp, and Yun Yuyan was only one step behind.
Bai Qinghuan and Princess Changle were neither hurried nor slow. Every time they came to a lamp, they admired it for a moment before writing down their answers.
They are leisurely and don't care if they are surpassed by others.
When they reached the position of the ninetieth lamp, Yun Yuyan looked at the riddles with a frown, and cold sweat ran down her forehead.
Obviously, he was stumped.
Two quarters of an hour passed, and she still hadn't guessed it.
Princess Changle stood behind her and asked, "Miss Yun, are you waiting for us on purpose?"
After saying that, he chuckled, looking innocent and romantic.
