Xue Jinyi glanced out the window and covered her mouth and smiled.

Pu Yangxuan asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I think we're going to be more happy in the Chu Palace."

Pu Yangxuan took her hand, slowly came to the bed, let her sit comfortably on the bed, and then half-squatted in front of her, looking up at her delicate face.

"What are you looking at?" Xue Jinyi asked with a smile.

Pu Yangxuan said: "Look at your appearance, you have taken good care of yourself for more than a month." ”

"Yes, I have to listen to you." Xue Jinyi complained: "After all, some people have listened to the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Chu and stared at me all the time. ”

"Next, I'll keep an eye on you personally." Pu Yangxuan winked at her.

Xue Jinyi grabbed Pu Yangxuan's hand with a smile and pressed it on her stomach, "Come, say hello to your little baby." ”

Her belly was already a little bulging, and her hand was pressed on it, as if she could already feel a small life moving around in it, which felt very magical to Pu Yangxuan, and she couldn't help but get closer, wrapping around Xue Jinyi's waist, and gently resting her head on her body.

It feels so good to be home.

He has never had such a sense of dependence on a person, and Ah Jin is the only one in his life.

Pu Yangxuan said softly: "For the past three days, I will stay at home and follow you every step of the way, all according to your orders." ”

"Huh? Three days? ”

"My father knew we hadn't seen each other for a long time, so he gave three days of free time. And it will take another three days for my father-in-law to return to the capital. ”

Xue Jinyi said with a smile: "You have been running around for so long, so it's better to rest and recharge your energy in the past three days." After three days, I don't know how many things I have to do. ”

Pu Yangxuan rubbed against her, and his breath was full of the faint fragrance of flowers that made him feel comfortable and peaceful, "I don't think it's enough to take care of you." ”

"I think I'm so happy right now." Xue Jinyi smiled sweetly.

"Me too." Pu Yangxuan hugged her and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

Three days later, the emperor summoned Puyang Xuan in the early court, and at this time, the courtiers and the people knew that the king of Chu had returned to the capital, and brought back the body of the son of the deposed emperor of the previous dynasty, which can be said to announce the demise of the forces of the previous dynasty.

The emperor ordered to announce to the world the crimes of the remnants of the previous dynasty, the depth of their sins, the cruelty of the means shocked the people of the world, so he sang the praises of the emperor's governance now, the Great Zhou Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, and the four seas are peaceful, and at the same time thank His Royal Highness the King of Chu for risking his life to exterminate the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Princess Yanguo, who was originally imprisoned in Dali Temple, and other remnants of the former dynasty were beheaded for public display, and hung outside the city gate together with Shen Qingmo's corpse, shocking the Quartet, and also attracting those remnants of the former dynasty who wanted to collect the corpse of the young master to throw themselves into the net.

And in the DPRK, the traitors led by Jian Zhongshu Ling were also almost uprooted and dealt with together.

The new Zhongshu Decree and the Shangshu Decree were both appointed by the emperor himself, which further took the opportunity to dampen the power of the Cai family.

After doing these things, the emperor ordered a banquet in the palace, first, to celebrate the final extermination of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and secondly, to wash the dust for the king of Chu, and at the same time to reward him and Zhuo Shen and others for their merits.

This time, Xue Jinyi didn't have to hide in the palace of the King of Chu, and came out to meet people generously.

Although her belly has changed, her skirt is loose, so it is difficult for outsiders to tell that she is pregnant.

She and Pu Yangxuan plan to wait for a suitable time before announcing that they are pregnant.

The emperor, the eldest princess, several princes and princesses, and courtiers will all participate in the grand banquet, except for the crown prince and the ladies of the East Palace.

Everyone is very tacitly aware that the prince does not exist, and the banquet is full of joy and laughter.

Queen Cai looked at this scene, her mood was depressed to the extreme, but she had to force a smile, the bitterness in her heart made no matter how delicious the meal was, there was a bitter taste in her mouth.

After three rounds of drinking, looking at Pu Yangxuan, who looked calm in the face of praise and had no arrogance in the face of the courtiers, she simply broke the jar, put down the wine glass heavily, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, gather together today, looking at this piece of joy, the concubines can't help but feel proud of the King of Chu." ”

The emperor nodded and didn't say anything.

Empress Cai glanced at the eldest princess again and said with a smile: "It's just that King Chu still has something that makes the concubine feel uneasy and regretful. ”

The eldest princess's eyes lit up, but she glanced at Queen Cai with some unhappiness.

Empress Cai continued: "The king of Chu has been married for so long, and there is only the princess by his side, and he can't spread out a lot for the king of Chu, so the concubine thinks about it, take advantage of this good time to choose some concubines for the king of Chu who are talented and have a good family background, so that the king of Chu and the princess can hold their children as soon as possible, and the family will be happy, so that there are no regrets......"

"Ahem."

Before she could finish speaking, a coughing sound suddenly sounded.

Empress Cai and the others couldn't help but look at the source of the sound, it turned out to be Xue Zhao, the Duke of Weiguo, who unhurriedly finished the wine in the cup in full view of everyone.

The emperor ignored them and ate side dishes as if he were happy.

After drinking, Xue Zhao put it on the table heavily, and the sound of "pop" was like a bell pestle striking on the bell, and the muffled sound made people startled.

Xue Jinyi's hand was also firmly held by Pu Yangxuan, and the two of them sat in their positions calmly, not caring about this old topic at all.

Empress Cai chuckled gently: "The princess is the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong, and the king of Chu and the princess are in love and harmony, if there is a concubine, Wei Guogong is worried that their relationship will not be what it used to be, right?" ”

At this point, she straightened her back a little more and put some arrogance between her eyebrows.

No matter how you say it, she is also the mother of a country, and Wei Guogong is just a courtier.

"The royal family, marrying a wife and taking a concubine is only right to start as soon as possible." Empress Cai's serious and kind-hearted face is a good time to let the cheap breed take more concubines and separate their husband and wife feelings.

"What the queen said is very true," Wei Guogong finally spoke, pouring wine for himself, without even looking at Empress Cai, "However, the king of Chu promised me before he got married, and in this life, there will only be one wife for Jinyi." ”

"A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine." Empress Cai persuaded bitterly: "Concubine, just serve the king of Chu well, and open up branches and leaves for the king of Chu, you don't need to care too much about ......"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of some officials became a little ugly, and they had to carefully cover them up.

The family background of these officials, if they want their daughters to marry into the royal family, they can only be concubines, Queen Cai obviously doesn't treat their daughters as people, and there is no difference between them and slaves, although this is also a fact, but whose father is willing to say this in public?

When they arrived, they all dispelled the idea that had just come to them, and resolutely refused to send their daughters to the Chu Palace.

And......

Their eyes glanced at Wei Guogong's body as if they were notched.

Obviously, Wei Guogong would never allow his son-in-law to take concubines.
