Congratulations to His Majesty! Congratulations to His Majesty! The Qiu family has good news!

  The grand hall was silent, with all eyes fixed on the three people in the center. The man's cold aura emanated from his tall and straight figure, gradually spreading to all sides, making the atmosphere of the entire hall feel particularly oppressive.

  No one had ever thought that Cheng Wang would be so biased towards Cheng Wang Fei, not only did he turn a cold shoulder to the Emperor, but also got into an argument with Jin Gui Fei, and in the end, even forced the beautiful and proud princess of their country to become so disheveled.

  This couple is really an eye-opener!

  From a useless queen to regaining her normal state, now not only has she regained her normal state, but her aura and courage are also unbelievable. If it weren't for witnessing it with my own eyes, who would believe that such a delicate woman could make such an earth-shattering move?

  But Cheng Wang not only didn't have a hint of disgust or dislike, but also protected him to the point of being abnormal!

  Kanako Yasa was already frightened by the pair of eyes in Hakuren's hand, and when she heard Gentoku's scolding and coercive words, she burst into tears in a very unbecoming manner.

  She had never been so frightened in her life, and it was even more terrifying that two people were ganging up on her.

  As soon as she thought of something, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed Bai Xiner away, then ran towards the four consorts like a madman, and knelt down in front of one of the elegant and noble-looking women.

  "Empress Dowager, please help me! I don't want that kind of gift, please ask them to take it back!"

  Her actions of pulling Xian Fei and her sobbing voice once again attracted everyone's attention to herself.

  Qiu's eyes widened in surprise, and the brief awkwardness left her at a loss for what to do. As she felt Xia's cold gaze on her, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

  That Bai Shi, she is also not liked. That's why I've been silently watching the show on this side, waiting for the emperor to get angry and order punishment for that Bai Shi's audacity and lack of respect.

  It turned out that the emperor had compromised with Cheng Wang, not only did he not investigate Bai Shi's excessive behavior, but also let him do as he pleased.

  She never thought that this princess would actually come to ask for her help...

  Is she brave enough to help with this busy work?

  She would have to scold her "daughter-in-law" in front of all the officials, wouldn't she become an "evil mother-in-law" in everyone's eyes? Moreover, the emperor's overprotective son, she knew better than anyone, it can be said that even if Cheng Wang wanted a star in the sky, the emperor would try his best to pick it down for him.

  The emperor is present, even if she appears to outsiders as the king's birth mother, she cannot publicly accuse her 'son' of being illegitimate, otherwise, would the emperor spare her after the banquet?

  But facing the princess's request, if she is indifferent to it, wouldn't it seem that she herself is too inhumane? Wouldn't people say that she lacks maternal dignity, which would affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries...

  In an instant, Qiu Shi had analyzed the pros and cons of the situation.

  She gathered her thoughts, and a gentle smile appeared on her face as she helped Jinziya up from the ground. She patted her hand in a soothing manner, saying: "Princess Ziya, you're overthinking this. The Crown Princess didn't mean to scare you; it's just that her hobbies are a bit unconventional. I can assure you that she had no intention of startling you. Those things she was playing with are indeed her favorites, and giving them to you was genuinely her kind intention. Perhaps because the Crown Princess is used to seeing such things often, while we rarely encounter them, it's only natural to feel frightened. Please, Princess Ziya, don't take it to heart."

  Qiu's words are indeed on the surface, standing on his daughter-in-law's side to explain and exonerate her, but if someone with a discerning mind carefully senses it, they can sniff out another layer of meaning.

  Others may or may not overthink, but Bai Xinzhen absolutely overthought it.

  She was pushed by Jinzi Ya, and before she could steady herself, someone behind her had already pulled her into a familiar embrace. She coldly watched as Qiu comforted Jinzi Ya gently, but in her heart, she had already scolded Qiu countless times.

  It's fake, but it's so profound in its fakeness!

  It seems like they are maintaining her, but also indirectly scolding her as a pervert. What a wonderful phrase 'different from ordinary people'!

  As things were getting out of hand, Xia Gao had no choice but to step forward.

  "Someone come, Princess Ziya has been frightened too much, take Princess Ziya down to rest."

  The eunuchs standing behind Xia Gao received the order and quickly came forward to support Jin Zi Ya away from Qiu Shi's side. At this moment, Jin Zi Ya didn't dare to stay any longer, tears streaming down her face, and hastily followed the eunuchs out of the banquet hall.

  The performance ended in such a farcical manner as soon as it began.

  Everyone suddenly came back to their senses from being shocked and frightened, but no one knew why many people suddenly lowered their heads.

  Watching the couple return to their seats, someone finally stood up, boldly wanting to show off their talents.

  Even though what just happened was shocking, the grand scene at this moment is an opportunity to show oneself that doesn't come every day. Driven by interests and vanity, many people can't help but forget what just happened and seriously engage in the next talent show segment.

  As for the various talents and beauties who were eager to show off, Bai Xinzhu couldn't muster up any interest, no, she was still too depressed to care about what others were doing.

  She put away the things she had brought with her and stored them back in her body, pretending not to hear the snickering around her, sitting solemnly on the embroidered cushion, then lowering her head to look at her hands on her knees.

  Suddenly a long and slender hand reached out, wrapping around her small one. The familiar large hand, the familiar warmth, caused her to furrow her brow, almost reflexively pulling her own hand back out.

  "What...?!" Yan Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

  His arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her close to him.

  Bai Xin twisted her arm, which was as unyielding as an iron hoop, and glared at him fiercely.

  He gazed at her with a hint of a smile, refusing to let go, and when he sensed that she was truly angry, he toned down his smile and leaned in close to her ear.

  "As a husband, it's not intentional concealment, but just an old matter from those years. Why must you mind it?"

  Bai Xin stared at him: "How, you don't confess honestly and clearly yourself, but blame me for being unreasonable?"

  "......?!" Yan Mo was so shocked that she couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. Da Shou's large hand tightened its grip on her slender waist, his thin lips seemingly unintentionally brushing against her pink earlobe as he chuckled and said: "How could I dare to blame you?"

  This really isn't him intentionally hiding something, those things others mentioned he hasn't touched in a long time and almost forgot. Besides, he's not the kind of person who likes to show off, and especially in front of her, he doesn't dare to show off casually. Who knows if she will be disgusted?

  "Don't be angry, didn't I also decline others' invitations for you? When we get back, I'll play the zither for you myself, okay?"

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin's eyes rolled around and she closed her mouth, no longer speaking. However, avoiding everyone's line of sight, her small hand secretly reached to his waist, gritted her teeth, and pinched him.

  "*Sigh*..." Yan Mo raised an eyebrow on purpose. Although he didn't take that tone seriously, he still grasped her hand into his with a hint of resentment, "Are you trying to murder your husband?"

  A white forehead with a black line streaming down. This man's mouth is getting poorer and poorer!

  With just a slight pinch, his skin didn't even turn red, how could he be murdered?!

  After making a fuss for a while, the two of them also made up.

  Bai Xin didn't really want to cause trouble with him. It's just that thinking of another woman understanding him better than her made her feel annoyed and want to grab someone.

  This feeling is really uncomfortable, she never used to be like this before. But the longer she's with this man, the more uneasy she becomes.

  Perhaps it was the inferiority complex in her heart that made her always feel that she was not worthy of him, and always felt that two people from two different worlds came together, which was not real at all.

  The sudden itch from his hand made her come to her senses, and she saw the man 'teasing' her hand again. Bai Xinzhen caught his hand back with a bad temper and scratched the palm of his hand.

  The program at the banquet was wonderful, but the two of them were having a great time secretly playing on their seats. As for when to announce the end of the performance, no one knew.

  In the following time, all the ministers and guests indulged in drinking and speaking happily. For a while, cups and chopsticks crossed each other, and the sound of laughter and conversation was lively.

  Bai Xinzhen was just about to ask "when can we leave" when he suddenly saw a worker carrying a golden tray in the direction of Xia Lixun.

  Moreover, in front of several princes and princesses in the palace, there was a eunuch holding a golden tray.

  Out of curiosity, she slightly shifted her buttocks and moved a few inches towards Xia Lixun's desk.

  On the table in front of Xia Lixun, there were four treasures of the study arranged by the palace people, while he himself was staring at a red book on the table with a cold face.

  "What is he going to do?" Bai Xincheng curiously asked Mo Yu in a low voice.

  Looking at the man who was frowning and hadn't written for a long time, Yan Mo Yu slightly hooked his lips: "The emperor let them write down the names of the people they liked, after reviewing all aspects, he would issue an imperial decree to grant marriage."

  The former crown prince was also selected as the crown princess in this way, so he still understood the emperor's actions.

  Bai Xin swept a glance at the princes and princesses not far away, and suddenly a hint of pride rose in her heart. It seemed that the emperor should also know their thoughts as a couple, so he didn't let anyone bring over the golden tray...

  She curiously looked over at the next table, wondering who this guy would choose as his legitimate wife.

  She thought of a woman, she looked up and saw that Liu Xue Lan was now sitting next to Bai Yu Hao, the two were lowering their heads as if talking, but it's unknown what they were saying. Bai Yu Hao seemed especially excited, his gaze at Liu Xue Lan was gentle and bright, while Liu Xue Lan lowered her head, making it impossible to see any expression, somewhat like she was shy.

  He turned his head again to look at the proud peacock, only to see him staring venomously at the timidly whispering couple in front of him, his face turning black and green, somewhat eerie.

  No one knew Xia Lixun's mood at this moment, holding a pen, but his mind was filled with only one name.

  He hated that damned woman even more! Why did she have to come out? And to tell the Emperor that she had already settled her marriage...

  This damn scoundrel, does she think that just because she's engaged to him, he won't dare to be angry with her?

  Bai Xin couldn't help but curiously watch his tangled reaction.

  Until he saw him gritting his teeth and writing down three unfamiliar names on the note.

  She withdrew her gaze and sat back down, but in her heart, she couldn't help but sigh for him and Liu Xue Lan.

  I think these two have reached the end of their rope.

  Fate is really an elusive thing. She and Mo Yu had no connection, they were even from two different worlds, but they still managed to come together.

  Feng De Wang and Xue Lan have been entangled for so many years, but they ended up going their separate ways with 'each marrying someone else'...

  Tonight's finale and also the most anticipated event for hundreds of guests is undoubtedly the new queen candidate of Shu Xia State.

  The new empress was not one of the four consorts of the emperor, but rather a relatively unknown concubine named Hui.

  When Dangquan finished reading the imperial edict, hundreds of guests suddenly had hundreds of expressions.

  Shocked, disbelieving, unbelievable, astonished, amazed, envious, jealous...

  That scene made Bai Xindun suddenly feel amused.

  Especially the four consorts of the emperor, each with a beautiful face and enchanting complexion, all had pale white skin.

  The one who looked the most pale was actually her 'mother-in-law', Empress Xian!

  Xian Fei was not just pale-faced, but for some reason suddenly fainted.

  "Princess! Princess!" The palace maid behind Madame Qiu suddenly called out.

  Everyone in the room couldn't help but turn their eyes towards her when they heard her voice.

  Watching Qiu's inexplicable faint, Xia Gao's eyes flashed with disgust for a moment, and then he coldly called out to the palace staff: "Don't hurry up and summon the imperial physician!"

  The imperial physician was a fifth-grade official, although he did not have the qualifications to attend, but he was always on call in the palace. The palace staff used a very short time and soon led an imperial physician to hurry over.

  The imperial concubine's fainting spell was no small matter, and the imperial physician couldn't attend to so many things at once, so he used his handkerchief to cover Qiu Shi's wrist and took her pulse instead.

  Everyone looked a bit tense, and the imperial physician was no exception. At first, he furrowed his brow in tension as he took Madame Qiu's pulse, but after a moment, a smile spread across his face.

  This smile made everyone curious.

  Especially in the summer, it's close, and the imperial physician's expression is all taken into his eyes, with a few doubts and incomprehension, he asked: "Zhou Ai Qing, is there any major problem with Xian Fei?"

  The imperial physician stood up, walked to Xia Gao's front, and suddenly clasped his hands with a smile: "Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor, the virtuous concubine is safe and sound, only that the virtuous concubine is pregnant!"

  Upon hearing this, Xia Gao suddenly widened his eyes and jumped up from the dragon chair: "What?!"

  Not just Xia Gao, but also Yan Mo Yu and Bai Xinyan stood up from the embroidered cushion on the ground.

  The officials watched this scene and thought that the reactions of the father and son were just surprise.

  After all, Xianfei has already given birth to Cheng Wang. Now this child is considered a late-born son, can't it make people feel surprised?

  The imperial physician was startled by Xia Gao's actions, but also thought that he was surprised and would have this reaction. He continued to say with good intentions: "Your Majesty, although the pulse of the virtuous concubine is normal during this pregnancy, she still needs to calm her mind and nourish the fetus. Moreover, the virtuous concubine is different from young women, so it's even more necessary to protect the dragon fetus doubly."

  Xia Gao's face turned green in an instant, beyond description.

  Looking at the officials in the hall, his hands clenched tightly in his dragon robe sleeves, using all his might to suppress the murderous intention in his heart.

  This cheap woman!

  She was supposed to take care of Cheng Wang in the Cheng Wang Fu, but unexpectedly she had an affair with someone!

  Still Pearl's fetus is dark and closed!

  The damned thing even brought its spawn into the palace!

  "Bring the imperial concubine down!" With that, Xia Gao suddenly turned around and left the side hall. He didn't even greet the officials in the hall or the foreign envoys.

  That departing figure stood tall and cold, exuding a thick anger. Everyone watched in stunned silence, all bewildered.

  Your Majesty, what's wrong?

  Digression
