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

"He is the prince, so he is naturally blessed." Zheng Xiyan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.

"That's what the Queen said."

Royal Garden

Concubine Xu and Lady Li followed the Queen's instructions and without a single doubt, they immediately went to the Imperial Garden.

When Xiao Xuanchen passed by the Imperial Garden, he saw the two of them and immediately called a halt, "Stop!"

"Stop!" the eunuch in front of the emperor said hurriedly.

Xiao Xuanchen looked in their direction. Concubine Xu was wearing a golden wide-sleeved pomegranate skirt with auspicious clouds embroidered on the hem. Her black hair was tied into a high beauty bun. Her head full of pearls and jade shone dazzlingly in the sun. Her delicate lips were slightly raised, and she exuded a mature charm.

The beautiful lady wore a pink cloud-like shirt embroidered with crabapple flowers, a floor-length yellow skirt with ancient double-butterfly and cloud-shaped patterns, a lily-shaped bun, and a hollow crabapple flower pearl hairpin. She looked radiant and beautiful, a feast for the eyes.

Xiao Xuanchen's eyes lit up. Concubine Xu and Concubine Li saw His Majesty and hurried forward to pay their respects.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and at peace."

"No need to be polite, just stand up." Xiao Xuanchen waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Xu smiled. She guessed that it was the Queen who was helping her, and she had to seize this opportunity.

"I haven't seen you for a while. How have you been recovering these days?" Xiao Yuyan's gaze fell on Concubine Xu and he smiled slightly.

Concubine Xu smiled gently and asked in a tender voice, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

At this moment, Xiao Xuanchen had already put Zheng Xiyan out of his mind. Thinking about the fact that he had not visited Concubine Xu for these days, he felt guilty.

"I have nothing to do, so I'm just strolling around. I haven't been to Minghua Palace for some time. I remember that Concubine Xu plays the piano very well. My beloved concubine, do you have time to play a song for me today?" Xiao Xuanchen curled his lips and smiled, his eyes fixed on Concubine Xu.

"Of course I am willing to do so." Concubine Xu smiled, feeling a little excited.

"Go to Minghua Palace!" Xiao Xuanchen ordered.

"Yes."

Xiao Xuanchen was taken to Minghua Palace by Concubine Xu. Concubine Li did not follow them and stayed alone in the Imperial Garden. She saw clearly just now that in His Majesty's eyes, there was only Concubine Xu and he had long forgotten her.

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan had already had breakfast. Biluo walked in and said to her, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has gone to Minghua Palace."

"Got it." Zheng Xiyan looked calm.

Shuang Ning on the side said: "Your Majesty, if you do this, wouldn't it be too easy for Concubine Xu and Lady Li? If they get pregnant, wouldn't they become a threat to Your Majesty in the future?"

"I did this because, first, I don't want to serve him, second, I want him to feel guilty about me, and third, I want to win over Concubine Xu and Lady Li. It can be said that I'm killing three birds with one stone!"

"As for threatening me? If the two of them dare to betray me and have any improper thoughts, I will naturally have plenty of ways to deal with them." There was a hint of murderous intent in Zheng Xiyan's eyes.

"Your Majesty is right." Biluo said with a smile.

"You! You just believe whatever the queen says. Why do you have so many questions all day long?" Biluo glared at her.

"Yes."

"In ten days, it will be Ji'er's first birthday banquet. How is the Shanggong Bureau preparing?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

Biluo quickly replied: "Don't worry, Madam, everything is ready."

"The most important thing at the one-year-old birthday party is Jier's one-year-old birthday ceremony." The expression on Zheng Xiyan's face was a little subtle, and she already had a plan in mind.

"Your Majesty wants to..." Biluo guessed something in an instant.

Zheng Xiyan shook her head and said seriously, "I believe that Ji'er will not let me down."

At lunchtime, the eunuch in front of the emperor came with several imperial dishes. "Your Majesty, His Majesty ordered me to bring you several imperial dishes."

"Thank Your Majesty on my behalf." Zheng Xiyan said calmly.

The eunuch in front of the emperor replied carefully, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. He promised the Majesty that he would come to the Weiyang Palace to accompany the Majesty, but..."

Zheng Xiyan looked thoughtful and chuckled, "Your Majesty is very busy, I understand, I'll trouble you to take good care of Your Majesty."

The eunuchs in front of the emperor all felt sorry for her. His Majesty had indeed gone too far. "Yes! Your Majesty, please enjoy. I will take my leave now."

"Father-in-law, walk slowly!"

As soon as the eunuch left, Zheng Xiyan ordered, "Shuang Ning, these dishes are a reward for you."

Shuang Ning was extremely surprised, "I knew that your Majesty is the best."

"Old rules, don't eat too much." Zheng Xiyan warned.

"All right!"

After lunch, Zheng Xiyan coaxed her son to sleep. Xiao Chengji was very energetic and not sleepy at all.

"Be good, Ji'er."

Now Xiao Chengji can crawl, and he crawls around on the bed without feeling tired at all.

Zheng Xiyan had a smile on her face. Her Ji'er was so cute.

He was tired from playing, so he lay down. Zheng Xiyan covered him with a quilt and then left the bedroom.

That night, Xiao Xuanchen summoned Concubine Xu to sleep with him. This was within Zheng Xiyan's expectations. It was time for Concubine Xu to sleep with him.

Lady Li came to the Weiyang Palace in the afternoon and did not leave until the evening.

"Thanks to the Queen, Concubine Xu will sleep with you tonight." Lady Li said with a smile.

Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice: "She strives for success on her own, what does it have to do with me?"

Lady Li smiled and said, "Ever since she lost her child, Concubine Xu has been immersed in sorrow. Today, when she heard the Majesty's order, she suddenly dressed up, and that's how it is today."

"I've given you the opportunity. Whether you can grasp it depends on yourself." Zheng Xiyan said meaningfully.

"Your Majesty is right. It's getting late and I should take my leave." Lady Li stood up, bowed and left.

"Ah."

"Concubine, please retire."

After Lady Li left, Zheng Xiyan asked, "What happened in Zichen Palace this afternoon?"

"The sound of the zither has been going on since Concubine Xu arrived at the Purple Palace and has not left yet. Your Majesty also turned over Concubine Xu's name card tonight."

"I understand. Tell someone to serve the meal!"

"Yes!"

When Lady Li left Weiyang Palace, the maid beside her asked, "What does the Queen mean?"

"Can't you see? The Queen is helping Concubine Xu." Lady Li sneered.

"But why would Her Majesty the Queen help Concubine Xu?"

"Who do you think can threaten the Queen in this palace?"

The maid thought for a moment and said, "It must be Concubine Rong, Concubine Xi, and Concubine Shen who have family backgrounds to back them up."

"Do you understand now?" The expression on Lady Li's face was very subtle.

"What the beauty means is that they will pose a threat to the Queen, so the Queen is trying to win over you and Concubine Xu."

"Yes, in the eyes of the Queen, Concubine Xu and I, even if we give birth to a prince, will not pose any threat to the Queen and the Crown Prince. In this case, she is willing to give us some benefits."
