Because Qingwan was remote, when Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao arrived, almost all the concubines in the harem had already arrived.
This was Ji Fengyao's second meeting with the concubines in the harem.
At the first Consort Yin's birthday banquet, everyone was deeply impressed by her, and this time even more so. They had never seen anyone greet the Empress Dowager before; they were always carried in.
Isn't this a blatant slap in the face to the Empress Dowager, making people criticize her for not being considerate?
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao, one in a wheelchair and the other lying on a couch, were not comfortable sitting down. After entering the hall, they sat and lay down in the center of the hall, while two rows of concubines sat neatly on both sides.
Ji Fengyao, looking incredibly "weak" on the cool couch, waved her little hand to the concubines on her left and said "Hi." Then, with an incredibly soft body, she turned over and waved to the concubines on her right: "Hi, everyone, we meet again."
The concubines: "..."
Shang Xiye said with a stern face, "Your Highness, please lie down and rest well. Do not overexert yourself. Take good care of the baby in your womb."
Ji Fengyao: "!"
The smile on his face instantly froze and turned to stone. What kind of fetus is this? Where did this fetus come from?!
The concubines: "!!"
Consort Qin: “!!!”
The Ninth Prince actually admitted it himself; the bandit was indeed pregnant!
When Consort Jia, who was entering later, heard the news, she tripped hard on the steps at the door. If Qing Sang and Rong Ju hadn't reacted quickly, she probably would have fallen straight into the main hall.
Consort Jia sat down, feeling extremely depressed, her gaze frequently glancing at Ji Fengyao's lower abdomen as if it could turn into knives.
Princess Zhaoping, who was accompanying the Empress Dowager in the inner room, turned pale upon hearing this, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. She twisted her handkerchief tightly in her hand, silently feeling heartbroken and wronged.
If it weren't for this female bandit suddenly interfering, the Ninth Prince should have been hers;
She should also be the woman who gave birth to the Ninth Prince's eldest son.
Now, this female bandit has gotten ahead of everything, yet she can't even get close to the Ninth Prince.
The Empress Dowager gave Aunt Sun a gloomy look.
Aunt Sun curtsied and said softly, "Your Majesty, everyone outside has arrived."
"Now that everyone's here, let's go out. If we don't leave soon, those bandits will be sleeping here with us," the Empress Dowager said in a low voice, clearly displeased. She helped Princess Zhaoping up and walked towards the outer room.
When the concubines outside saw the Empress Dowager come out, they immediately stood up and bowed to her to greet her.
They had not finished their greetings.
The Ninth Prince then spoke slowly and in a deep voice, using his usual emotionless tone: "Your subject pays respects to the Empress Dowager."
Ji Fengyao climbed onto the cool couch several times before finally managing to prop herself up halfway. She said weakly, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager enjoy longevity and good health."
Yeah, add "a fart" at the end.
One week you old hag watched my show, and one week later, I'm waiting to see your show!
After saying that, Ji Fengyao quickly "exhausted" and fell back onto the soft pillow, lying there panting heavily, as if she had just run a thousand meters.
"I just told you not to overwork yourself, why are you so disobedient?" Shang Xiye reached out and squeezed her hand, his voice low as if he were chatting with a parent. Although there was no intimacy, it still sounded friendly.
"I came here specifically to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, how could I not try to ask her something? It's all out of filial piety," Ji Fengyao's voice was much softer, sounding like she was coaxing the Ninth Prince.
The concubines present were all dumbfounded.
Holy crap, I never knew this bandit was such a master at acting cute!
