After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Another month passed, and on the day of Xiao Chengji's hundred-day banquet, Xiao Xuanchen specially held a banquet in the Yaoguang Palace and made a grand ceremony.

Royal relatives, civil and military ministers, all presented gifts.

Xiao Xuanchen was holding Xiao Chengji, feeling very proud. Prince Ming stood up and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations to the Queen."

"Today, I celebrate with the people." Xiao Xuanchen said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The ministers congratulated.

Xiao Xuanchen handed Xiao Chengji to the wet nurse, who took it and stood beside Zheng Xiyan.

Zheng Xiyan turned around and told the nurse: "The eldest prince has been out for a long time today and is already tired and asleep. You take him back to Weiyang Palace first."

"Yes!" After the wet nurse bowed, she carried Xiao Chengji back to Weiyang Palace.

Zheng Xiyan gave Biluo a look, and Biluo immediately understood and followed her back, with Shuangning serving by her side.

Prince Xiang looked at Zheng Xiyan with interest and said, "The Queen is really lucky to have given birth to your Majesty's eldest son. She is truly a blessed person!"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am not worthy of being such a blessed person." Zheng Xiyan replied with a smile on her face.

King Xiang waved his hand. He had drunk a few glasses of wine today and was a little tipsy. "Your Majesty, you are too polite. If even the Queen can't bear the responsibility, who else in the world can bear the responsibility?"

"What King Xiang said makes sense." Xiao Xuanchen looked at Zheng Xiyan meaningfully and smiled at her.

Zheng Xiyan noticed Xiao Xuanchen's gaze, but did not turn her head to look at him. She felt bored, so she found an excuse and said, "I'm going to change my clothes first."

"Go!" Xiao Xuanchen said.

Not long after Zheng Xiyan left Yaoguang Palace, King Xiang also found a reason and quietly left Yaoguang Palace.

The moonlight was hazy. Zheng Xiyan stood in the corridor, not wanting to go back and face Xiao Xuanchen's face.

But she had been out for too long and was worried about arousing suspicion. When she was about to go back, King Xiang appeared in front of her.

"Greetings, Her Majesty." The cold wind sobered up Prince Xiang a little, but he could still smell a strong smell of alcohol on his body.

"King Xiang?" Zheng Xiyan widened her eyes and looked at him vigilantly.

Zheng Xiyan was only accompanied by Shuangning and Zirui, and did not bring any other people with her.

"I noticed that even after the Queen gave birth to the eldest prince, you didn't seem very happy." The emotions in Prince Xiang's eyes were very complicated, and his voice was lingering and tired.

Before Zheng Xiyan got married, she had met King Xiang several times, but she was still young at that time and didn't understand many things.

"What do you mean, King Xiang?" Zheng Xiyan calmed down and asked in a cold voice.

The King of Xiang looked at her. Even though he hid it well, anyone who paid attention could detect the love in his eyes. "Are you really happy?"

"Of course I am happy. Chengji is your majesty's eldest son. In the future..." Zheng Xiyan looked at him coldly.

King Xiang sneered at this time and said sarcastically: "In the future? Do you really think that Xiao Xuanchen will make your son the crown prince?"

"King Xiang, you are overstepping your authority." Zheng Xiyan said in a serious voice with a very cold expression.

Zheng Xiyan gave Zirui a look, and Zirui then went to the front to keep watch, while Shuangning went behind them.

"When Chengji was one month old, I sent a gift. The jade ruyi was not for Chengji, but for you." King Xiang looked at her affectionately.

In her previous life, he gave Zheng Xiyan a jade ruyi on her birthday, but she didn't understand what he meant at that time.

But later, he gave her a jade ruyi on her birthday every year. At first, she thought he didn't care about it, so she kept giving him the jade ruyi every year.

But after so many things happened, she gradually understood what this meant.

After a long while, Zheng Xiyan finally spoke: "I appreciate your kindness."

"Do you really understand my feelings?" King Xiang's eyes were red, and there was restrained and hidden love in his eyes.

Zheng Xiyan didn't know why he came to see her tonight. He had never done such a thing in his previous life.

"I should go back, and Prince Xiang should also go back. Otherwise, people will become suspicious, and it will be bad for our reputation." Zheng Xiyan walked around him and was about to leave.

King Xiang was at the banquet just now, and when he saw that she was not happy, he didn't care about anything else and followed her out.

"Before you married him, I..." King Xiang was interrupted by Zheng Xiyan before he could finish his words.

"Stop talking, Xiao Xuanqi. I am now His Majesty's queen and Xiao Xuanchen's wife. According to the rules, I should call you Fifth Brother." Zheng Xiyan scolded him. Is he crazy?

"You understand my feelings, but why have you never responded?" King Xiang suddenly became agitated, walked up to Zheng Xiyan, and pressed her step by step.

Zheng Xiyan didn't want to get entangled with him. Before the wedding, he had ordered people to send gifts, but those gifts were jade hairpins, heart knots and locks, and even a pair of jade fans with red beans carved on them.

In her previous life, Zheng Xiyan didn't care about this matter. At that time, she was immersed in the joy of becoming the queen and didn't realize that he had feelings for her at all.

And even if she saw it, what would it matter? She still wanted to marry Xiao Xuanchen, and this was impossible to change.

"What should I respond to you?" Zheng Xiyan asked, looking up.

"Yes! What should you respond to me? Marrying Xiao Xuanchen and becoming the queen who rules the country will be beneficial to you, the Zhengguo Mansion, and the Chuwang Mansion." King Xiang suddenly lost his temper, feeling powerless.

"We have only met a few times. How can you have any affection for me? You have already married a princess, and I heard that you have many concubines and both sons and daughters in your mansion." It is ridiculous to call this affection.

Prince Xiang said self-deprecatingly, "My father has arranged a marriage for my princess, so I have no choice but to marry her. As for those concubines, they were sent to the palace by various forces. I did not want them. My son and daughter are both born to my princess. Those concubines were just a show to deceive people."

After hearing this, Zheng Xiyan sneered and said, "There's really no need for you to tell me this."

"If you want to assist Chengji to succeed to the throne, I can help you." King Xiang said seriously.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have been coveting the throne for a long time, and His Majesty has repeatedly been wary of you and King Ming. Will you help my son?" Zheng Xiyan looked unconvinced.

"If I want to fight, it would be usurping the throne, but if you fight, Chengji will succeed the throne, then it is legitimate."

Zheng Xiyan thought of the ending of King Xiang in his previous life. His rebellion failed and he was ordered to commit suicide by Xiao Xuanchen. All his years of hard work went to waste.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need your help. I have the Duke Zheng's Mansion and the Prince Chu's Mansion behind me." Zheng Xiyan decisively rejected her.

"I understand." King Xiang made way for them, and Zheng Xiyan took Shuang Ning Zi Rui back to Yaoguang Palace.
