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

Seeing that she had been gone for so long, Xiao Xuanchen asked, "Why did you take so long?"

Zheng Xiyan made up an excuse and said, "I saw that the moonlight was very beautiful tonight, so I went outside to admire it for a while."

"So that's how it is. I'll go to accompany you tonight." Xiao Xuanchen whispered in her ear.

"Okay!" Zheng Xiyan smiled at him.

When King Xiang came back, he saw this scene. After sitting down, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Princess Xiang said, "Don't drink too much, Your Majesty."

"Don't worry about it." King Xiang said indifferently.

Princess Xiang looked aggrieved. Since she married him, they had treated each other with respect in the first few years, but in recent years, she had increasingly felt that his love for her had ended.

Although there were many concubines in the mansion, he did not favor any of them very much.

She guessed that the person he loved was not in the mansion, and that this was the person he could not get.

When she followed him into the palace for the family dinner that day, she had guessed a little bit, and today she was even more certain.

After the palace banquet, Xiao Xuanchen accompanied Zheng Xiyan back to Weiyang Palace. After they took a bath, Xiao Xuanchen couldn't wait to carry her into the bedroom.

Zheng Xiyan lay on the bed expressionless, allowing him to do whatever he wanted to her.

After he had finished venting, he lay on top of her, breathing heavily.

Zheng Xiyan just felt disgusted but couldn't show it.

"Yan'er." Xiao Xuanchen looked at her with obsessed eyes.

"I'm here." Zheng Xiyan said in a low voice, panting.

"I always feel that you are not in a good mood today. What's wrong?" Xiao Xuanchen stroked her cheek and said in a low voice.

"No, I'm just a little tired." Zheng Xiyan explained with a smile.

Xiao Xuanchen saw that she looked tired, hugged her and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore, go to bed early!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Zheng Xiyan woke up the next day, Xiao Xuanchen had already left. In fact, she did not wake up on purpose because she did not want to see his face.

Not long after he left, Zheng Xiyan asked them to come in and help her change clothes and wash up.

"Empress Rong is about to give birth. Please send someone to keep an eye on her and make sure nothing goes wrong." Zheng Xiyan warned.

Biluo agreed, "Don't worry, Madam. I have sent people to keep an eye on it. There will be no mistakes."

"There must be no mistakes with Concubine Rong's pregnancy this time." Zheng Xiyan's expression was solemn. If something went wrong, it would mean that she, as the queen, was incompetent.

"What do you mean by this, ma'am?"

“If something goes wrong with Concubine Rong’s pregnancy this time, others will only think that I am not good at managing the harem and that’s why something like this happened. This will be bad for my reputation.” Zheng Xiyan cherished her reputation very much in her life. After all, she didn’t want to suffer the loss of her previous life again.

"The servant knows."

Princess Xuanhua's wedding date is approaching, and Zheng Xiyan has been preparing her dowry these days.

In addition to the customary dowry for the princess, Xiao Xuanchen and Zheng Xiyan would prepare another dowry for her, and the Queen Mother would naturally also prepare a generous dowry for her only daughter.

Princess Xuanhua came to Weiyang Palace that day, and Zheng Xiyan said, "The Princess's Mansion has been under renovation since Your Majesty ascended the throne. It should be completed in two months. I think your wedding date will be set soon."

"I don't want to get married so soon. I want to spend more time with my mother, the Queen Mother, and Ji'er. If I get married and don't see him for a long time, he will forget about me." Princess Xuanhua acted like a little child, acting coquettishly to Zheng Xiyan.

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better if you came to the palace more often?"

Princess Xuanhua looked helpless, "This is the only way. Sister-in-law, you have to promise to mention me in front of Ji'er often."

"Okay! I promise you."

At lunch that day, Xiao Xuanchen came to Weiyang Palace specially to have lunch with her.

The two sat opposite each other, and the eunuch in front of the emperor came to report in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Queen, someone from Jinhua Palace came to report that Concubine Rong is about to give birth."

Zheng Xiyan looked calm, as the day had come. But when she looked at Xiao Xuanchen, Xiao Xuanchen was also very calm.

"Your Majesty, let me accompany you to take a look!" Zheng Xiyan suggested.

"Alright."

The two of them got on the imperial chariot Fengyu and headed for Jinhua Palace.

Jinhua Palace

Most of the concubines from various palaces have already arrived at Jinhua Palace.

The Queen Mother knew that Concubine Rong was about to give birth, but she only sent someone to inquire about it, but did not come in person. After all, it was only a concubine giving birth, so it didn't matter whether the Queen Mother came or not.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Everyone get up!" Xiao Xuanchen waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Queen."

Zheng Xiyan accompanied Xiao Xuanchen into the main hall. After they sat down, they heard the voice of the midwife in the bedroom. Zheng Xiyan looked at him deliberately and saw that he had a calm expression, as if Concubine Rong, who was giving birth in the bedroom, had nothing to do with him.

Zheng Xiyan had never asked him if he was nervous when she gave birth that day, but seeing his appearance today, she could guess a thing.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Concubine Rong is a lucky person. Both mother and child will be safe." Zheng Xiyan said this deliberately, just to see what kind of reaction Xiao Xuanchen would have.

"The Queen is right. I don't need to worry." Xiao Xuanchen still looked calm, without any worry at all.

Zheng Xiyan then understood that Xiao Xuanchen didn't care about Murong Yue's pregnancy at all, which was completely different from his previous life.

The other concubines all looked indifferent and were secretly hoping that Concubine Rong would give birth to a princess.

an hour later

There were bursts of baby cries coming from the bedroom, "Waaaaaa~

Zheng Xiyan was the first to react, "Your Majesty, it's born."

Xiao Xuanchen still had a cold expression, "I know."

Then the midwife came out and announced the good news, "Congratulations to your Majesty, Concubine Rong has given birth to a princess."

Hearing that it was the princess, Xi Muyao and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Xiyan had guessed in advance that everything now was different from her previous life, but she actually gave birth to a princess.

In her previous life, Murong Yue gave birth to Xiao Xuanchen's eldest son.

But Zheng Xiyan didn't think too much about it. She brought all the concubines to congratulate Xiao Xuanchen, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your Majesty now has both a son and a daughter."

When Xiao Xuanchen heard that it was the princess, he did not feel happy, but he was secretly relieved.

"Everyone get up!" Xiao Xuanchen said coldly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After a while, the midwife brought the princess out. Xiao Xuanchen walked over to take a look. Zheng Xiyan said, "Your Majesty, the princess is cute and adorable. She will definitely be a caring and well-behaved daughter in the future."

"The Queen is right." Xiao Xuanchen agreed coldly.

Zheng Xiyan turned and asked, "How is Concubine Rong?"

The imperial physician replied, "Don't worry, Queen, Concubine Rong is just too tired, there's nothing serious."

"Take good care of Concubine Rong." Zheng Xiyan instructed.

"Yes!"

"Hurry up and tell the Queen Mother the good news." Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

The eunuch in front of the emperor said, "I have already sent someone to do it. The Queen Mother will definitely be happy when she knows about it."

Xiao Xuanchen went in and took a look at Murong Yue. When Murong Yue learned that she was a princess, she looked depressed.

Zheng Xiyan followed behind him. When Murong Yue saw them, she wanted to get up, but she felt too weak to do so.

Zheng Xiyan quickly said, "Don't get up, just lie down."

"Thank you, Queen." Murong Yue said weakly, her eyes were wet, and she didn't know if she had just cried in pain or if she was crying because she was too disappointed.

"You gave birth to a princess for me, and I am very happy." Xiao Xuanchen still wanted to comfort Murong Yue.

Murong Yue couldn't be happy, he was just a princess and not the prince she wanted, and tears seemed to burst out in the next second.

"Is Your Majesty really happy that he is not a prince?" Murong Yue said with a choked voice.

"I already have Prince Chengji, so naturally I want a princess. You just fulfilled my wish." Xiao Xuanchen said with a smile.

When Zheng Xiyan heard such hypocritical words, he found it ridiculous. In his heart, he was secretly happy that this was fortunately just a princess.

Murong Yue forced a smile, but his words stabbed her heart like a knife.
