Quickly wear the pregnant queen
Chapter 357 The scheming snake and the scorpion × the powerful regent 37
"There's something wrong with this person."
Qi Yuan's intuition was wrong.
"She doesn't look like a farmer's daughter."
"Is this Wu Zhaoyi's natural beauty? Your Highness, although her looks are given by her parents, she also relies on God's blessing. I once saw a pair of parents with unattractive looks, but all the children they gave birth to were talented."
"You think her temperament looks like she came from a small family?" Qi Yuan asked.
Eunuch Wang has been with him for many years. Although he is only a eunuch, he is also one of his right-hand assistants.
"Perhaps it's because of the years of edification in the temple?"
They really couldn't find anything wrong.
Qi Yuan fiddled with the jade ring in his hand and sneered.
"I always trust my intuition. If there is no problem, it is the biggest problem. You just go and check it out."
Eunuch Wang did not dare to say anything more at this moment.
Qi Yuan hurried back to the capital overnight. He had been rushing on the road these days, but he did not take a moment to rest and rushed directly to the palace.
Qi Yun also received the news.
"Uncle Huang is back! So soon?"
Qi Yun was a little surprised, but then he thought of the emperor's uncle's temperament. The emperor's uncle was indifferent on the surface, but he was very affectionate. He treated him so well, not to mention the mother who gave birth to him and raised him.
"Your Majesty, do you want to come over?"
Qi Yun shook his head, "The emperor's uncle, mother and son are getting together. I won't go there now. I'll go there during dinner."
"Is Zhaoyi still in Cining Palace?"
"Yes, during this period Zhaoyi has been attending to the Empress Dowager from morning to night."
Qi Yun nodded, Wu Zhaoyi's beautiful face appeared in his mind.
"After some time, I will take this opportunity to give her a title as a reward."
In a few months, it will be one year since Grandpa Huang passed away, and his filial piety will also come to an end.
Since she entered the palace, out of consideration for filial piety, he has never been close to her.
----
As soon as Qi Yuan entered the palace, he saw Wu Zhaoyi also in the palace.
He looked at her from behind, and that familiar feeling came to him again.
Just looking at the back, he does look a bit like Xu Lingyi.
But Qi Yuan knew that these were two different faces.
"Mother, my son is back."
Xu Lingyi's hand shook in fright, and the medicine bowl fell down.
"Yuan'er!"
When the Queen Mother saw Qi Yuan, tears shone in her eyes.
"How are you feeling?" Qi Yuan stepped forward.
Xu Lingyi stood there, a little at a loss, and more nervous.
Now every time she sees Qi Yuan, she is afraid that things will be revealed.
She could only tell herself again and again that Qi Yuan would not be able to find out.
I felt a little more at peace in my heart.
The mother and son briefly reminisced about old times. The Queen Mother saw her going to pick up the debris on the ground and quickly stopped her.
"Just ask grandma to come in and clean. Don't move."
"Yuan'er, look at the good things you have done. When you come back in the future, you have to notify me in advance and make a noise from behind. Not only her mother was shocked by you."
When her son came back, the Empress Dowager was in a very good mood. Although the words were meant to reproach her, her tone did not reveal it at all.
"My son, I know."
Qi Yuan glanced at Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi also felt the oppressive and heavy sight from above.
"I won't disturb you anymore. Please leave first and come back tomorrow to attend to your illness."
The Empress Dowager nodded lovingly, "Go back. You have had a hard day. You don't need to come over tomorrow and spend more time with His Majesty."
The Queen Mother has treated her as a junior.
"During this period, Wu Zhaoyi has been serving the queen mother. Originally, the queen mother had a prejudice against her, but after getting along with her, she discovered that she has a very good temper and is gentle and careful in her work."
The more the Empress Dowager talked about her, the more she fell in love with her, "Yoon'er has good taste. She is a perfect match for the emperor."
Xu Lingyi only left for a few hours before he learned that there was a family dinner in the evening.
When Qi Yuan came back, Qi Yun proposed that the family have a meal together.
Xu Lingyi is the only concubine in the harem, and the Empress Dowager now likes her again.
So much so that she also went with Qi Yun.
"My beloved concubine is too thin, please eat more."
The Empress Dowager also agreed with this, "Your Majesty is right. The Ai family has noticed on weekdays that you eat too little."
"The Ai family is still waiting for the future. The two of you will ask the Ai family to see their great-grandson as soon as possible."
When talking about this topic, the Empress Dowager looked at Qi Yuan unconsciously.
She sighed, "The Ai family doesn't count on Yuan'er anymore."
Xu Lingyi lowered his head and was now sitting at the same table with Qi Yuan for dinner, facing each other.
Qi Yuan didn't know her identity and didn't think anything of it.
But Xu Lingyi knew that she was embarrassed and guilty.
"Why are you so silent today?"
The Queen Mother asked, "Are you afraid of Yuan'er?"
Ever since Qi Yuan appeared, Wu Zhaoyi often bowed her head.
Xu Lingyi shook his head quickly.
"Uncle Huang is not angry but he looks a little intimidating, but you don't have to be afraid. Uncle Huang is the most cold-hearted and warm-hearted."
Qi Yun also saw her restraint.
The three of them all looked at her. Xu Lingyi nodded quickly again, "I understand."
Qi Yun once again served Xu Lingyi food.
Sitting next to Qi Yuan made Xu Lingyi feel nervous, so she subconsciously used her left hand to eat.
After reacting, her heart beat rapidly.
Although there are not many people who are left-handed, it is not impossible.
She knew that Xu Lingyi had a guilty conscience. During this time, she had been training to do everything with her right hand.
I'm afraid that even the slightest bit of secret will be revealed and people will notice it.
Especially since Qi Yuan is still here, he is the person who knows her best.
Xu Lingyi pretended to be calm and raised his head slightly.
She found that everyone was lowering their heads to eat, and no one noticed her.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
When the Empress Dowager was speaking, she put down her chopsticks very naturally.
Then he picked it up again and successfully switched it to his right hand.
From then on, she felt that the tension in her heart had calmed down a little, and her palms became less sweaty.
Although this was a small thing, she was still afraid.
Because she didn't dare to think that if Qi Yuan knew about it, she would become Qi Yun's concubine.
How he should be furious.
She didn't dare to face him at all.
After finishing the meal, Xu Lingyi was in a panic. On the way back, even when Qi Yun talked to her, she didn't come back to her senses.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Xu Lingyi nodded subconsciously.
"Then tell me, what did I just say?"
Xu Lingyi: "..."
She could only apologize.
Looking at her extremely beautiful eyes, Qi Yun couldn't say anything harsh at all.
Who told her to be so beautiful? Looking at her face, he couldn't get angry at all.
"Uncle Huang's birthday is coming soon."
Xu Lingyi then remembered Qi Yuan's birthday. When they were together before, she specifically asked the housekeeper of the palace to celebrate Qi Yuan's birthday in the future.
Unexpectedly, she and Qi Yuan would no longer be able to meet each other.
"What should I give to the emperor's uncle? I don't seem to know what the emperor's uncle likes?"
"Your Majesty, please send me the copybook."
She knew that Qi Yuan liked to collect calligraphy and paintings.
"Calligraphy? Will the emperor like it?"
Qi Yun originally planned to send weapons to the emperor's uncle, which seemed to be more in line with the emperor's uncle's preferences.
"How did you come up with the idea of sending a copybook?" Qi Yun asked with a smile.
"I said it casually, because I happen to like it."
Qi Yuan was sitting on the carriage returning to the palace. He was resting his mind with his eyes closed and his knuckles pressed against his temples.
He thought about what happened at today's family dinner.
Wu Zhaoyi, like Xu Lingyi, is both left-handed.
She happened to be sitting across from him and asked him to see her.
It would be fine if she was just left-handed, but she seemed to be deliberately hiding it.
