It rained in the middle of the night yesterday, and in the morning the rain gradually subsided, and the sound of the rain was pattering. Bai Zhi closed the window, rubbed her arms, and went into the house complaining: "It was hot like a steamer a few days ago, but now it rains when it rains." , I haven’t seen a few sunny days for half a month. It’s always raining, and people are almost moldy.”

The room was filled with the unique dampness of rainy days. Yu Qingjia was framing the pages of the book. Hearing this, she bowed her head and said, "I think rainy days are comfortable, the weather is cool, and I don't have to go out to deal with people."

Bai Zhi thinks rainy days are dull, but she feels the same when she hears Yu Qingjia's words. Half a month ago, King Guangping left Beijing with a high profile, and went to conquer the rebels in high spirits—it was said that they were rebels, but in fact, everyone knew that it was King Langya. When the rebel army was first active, there was a lot of discussion among the people, wondering if King Langya had returned. Looking at the series of reactions of the emperor and King Guangping later, as well as the gossip from the palace, all the officials in Yecheng knew it in their hearts. It seemed that it was King Langya.

King Guangping issued a military order and led 30,000 elite troops northward to conquer the rebels. The imperial court called the army in the north the rebel army, but the people quietly called it the rebel army. When King Guangping came out of the city, he was full of energy and the scenery was boundless. Coupled with the news that King Guangping would soon enter the East Palace, the Palace of Guangping was very popular now, and it was the most popular place in Yecheng. Princess Song's natal family was almost overwhelmed by visitors, and even the Yu family was influenced by Yu Qingya. In the past few days, there have been an endless stream of people posting to Yu Qingjia and asking for news. Yu Qingjia was very annoyed, but fortunately it was raining heavily, and Yu Qingjia used the weather as an excuse to justifiably reject all the temptations with malicious intentions.

Yu Qingjia now wished the rain would last longer.

Bai Zhi said: "It has been raining since King Guangping left Beijing. We live in the city, but it's a headache. Thinking about King Guangping, taking so many people on the road in the rain, that's a headache."

Bai Ji entered the door with hot tea, and glanced at Bai Zhi when he heard this: "Yo, you are still worried about King Guangping. King Guangping has elite soldiers and generals, the best armor, and many capable advisers. Everyone It is said that King Guangping will win this battle, and when he returns, he will change his name to be the prince, so there is no need for us unknown people to worry about others."

Bai Zhi laughed at herself and said, "What you're saying is that we can't even manage ourselves well, so we don't have the heart to worry about others. Ma'am, do you think King Guangping will really become the prince in the future?"

Yu Qingjia was busy with the movements in her hands, and when she heard the words, she raised her head and glanced at Bai Zhi: "What do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing." Bai Zhi seemed to be preoccupied. She stirred the incense burner and couldn't help sighing, "The crown prince is the foundation of a country. The family members will also move into the palace. Princess Guangping can't bear children, so the fourth lady..."

"What do we have to do with the affairs of the palace?" Yu Qingjia's voice was flat, as if these matters were not as important as the books in his hand. Yu Qingjia finally finished framing the last frame. She took out a page of yellow sandpaper, covered it on the book and flattened it little by little. Seeing this, Bai Rong stepped forward, took the scroll in Yu Qingjia's hand, and spread it out on another long table. Yu Qingjia breathed a long sigh of relief, and slowly turned her wrist. Seeing Yu Qingjia's performance, Bai Zhi felt that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were not in a hurry. She couldn't help asking, "My lady, are you not in a hurry?"

"Why am I in a hurry." Yu Qingjia gave Bai Zhi a strange look, "Yu Qingya is in a hurry, it's none of my business."

"Oh, my lady." Bai Zhi moved closer, and her anxious speech speed became faster, "Now the fourth lady is in the Guangping palace, and she will enter the East Palace in the future, and Liu Shi also successfully climbed the bed and became a success." King Quang Binh’s Ji concubine. Although it is very satisfying to see them two dogs biting dogs, they are all from the Da Furen’s side after all. No matter which of these two will gain power in the future, even if they don’t have a son, they only give birth to a daughter. She is also the princess, and the eldest lady can take advantage of this wind to not become rampant. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If the eldest house is proud, the second house will be in danger."

Yu Qingjia chuckled, and looked at Bai Zhi teasingly: "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If you let others hear this, you will be in trouble."

It is disrespectful for brothers to say that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, but the words are rough and reasonable. The brothers and sisters in the world know this well, but no one dares to say it. Bai Zhi was not afraid that these words would spread outside, and still persuaded Yu Qingjia: "My lady, are you not worried at all?"

"There is nothing to worry about." Yu Qingjia's tone was light, her eyes were clear and dark, and there was a hint of deep meaning in the movement of her eyes, "Whether Yu Qingya will have a son is one thing, and what will happen after giving birth to a son is another. The most important thing is that if you want a wife, you will be more expensive than your husband, but your husband may not be able to realize it."

Bai Zhi froze for a moment: "My lady..."

Yu Qingjia seemed to just mention it casually, and then continued to do her own thing. Bai Zhi was worried and didn't dare to ask further questions. They sat in silence, and the only sound in the room was the rustling of pages. The rain outside finally stopped, but the wind blew instead. A servant wearing a coir raincoat stepped across the water-logged courtyard and stopped outside the house door to bow: "Miss Six, there was an urgent military report just now, Guangping Wang Dajie. The lord greeted him." According to the news, I have already changed into the court clothes and entered the palace."

The women in the room were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help standing up. As soon as the servant who reported the letter finished speaking, another woman rushed over in a hurry, and shouted from afar: "Sixth Lady, Concubine Yu sent someone to announce the good news to Da Furen, saying that she is pregnant."

King Guangping set out for a great victory. At this time, news came from the palace that his side concubine was pregnant. These two news came at the right time, and the conditions for Wang Guangping to be crowned prince have been met. It seems that the establishment of the crown prince is already a certainty.

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the battle report, and the queen also smiled. The two most distinguished people in Northern Qi were in a good mood, and as it should be, a grand banquet was held in the palace to celebrate.

Yu Qingjia was wearing a cold white skirt, because the palace banquet was too plain, so she put on a delicate embroidered smock over it. Yu Qingjia followed the **** through the palace pillars, and slowly bowed in a half-squat: "I have seen the Queen, and I have seen Princess Guangping."

The queen is wearing a red Zhai dress, which is embroidered with golden threads. Her hair is combed high, and there is a resplendent flying phoenix in the middle. The phoenix holds an oriental pearl the size of a longan in its mouth. The queen's appearance is good, and the corners of her mouth and eyes have traces of time. However, under the backdrop of the high-knot of the Chinese dress, one can feel the magnificence of the mother of a country from a long distance.

The queen's dress is flamboyant, and her temperament is definitely not the chaste and virtuous that the world expects. She is golden all over, and the corners of her eyes reveal a trace of charm. When Yu Qingjia came in, the empress was listening to the teasing of the favored eunuch, and the mother of a nation was trembling wildly. Hearing the servant's announcement, she glanced down nonchalantly, her eyes narrowed slightly: "You are... Liu Niang of the Yu family?"

"It's a court lady."

Yu Qingjia's knees were slightly bent, her hands were folded in front of her legs, and her heavy clothes were piled up on the ground, gorgeous and dignified. The queen was really taken aback when she saw Yu Qingjia, she couldn't help restraining her contempt, and looked Yu Qingjia up and down. The queen was picky for a long time, but Yu Qingjia kept curtseying, and the pearls on her temples did not shake at all.

The queen looked away, and said slowly: "I have long heard that there is a poppies in the Yu family in Yanzhou, and seeing her today really deserves her reputation. Give me a seat."

Yu Qingjia's eyes drooped slightly, neither humble nor overbearing, and when she heard this, she just nodded and said: "The empress's praise, thank you, empress."

Yu Qingya watched Yu Qingjia sit down under the guidance of the eunuch, a gloomy look flashed across her eyes. Here it is again, everyone has heard of the reputation of Yanzhou poppies, and everyone said "poppies" in amazement or jealousy in front of her, as if they didn't realize that Yu Qingya was also named Yu.

A bitter smile appeared on Yu Qingya's lips, and she couldn't help but put her hand on her lower abdomen, feeling relieved immediately. It doesn't matter, the appearance is superficial and foreign, no matter how beautiful the skin is, it will still be a beauty in a hundred years, how can it be better to have the power in your hand? King Guangping won the battle, and she became pregnant with the only heir of King Guangping. As long as this child is born as a son, then this is the eldest son of the prince. If he has no heir, he will be the eldest son. Her son will have great fortune in the future. How can these fame and fortune be comparable to mere beauty?

Yu Qingya felt much better. Ever since she was born, she was inferior to Yu Qingjia in everything. She was like this in her previous life, and she is also like this in this life. However, all the setbacks come to an end. Yu Qingya will soon turn around, and this time, Yu Qingjia can no longer catch up with her.

At first, Yu Qingya went crazy and wanted to **** Yu Qingjia's marriage, and wanted to replace Yu Qingjia as the founding queen, but she made a wrong step, and she paid too much, but the situation did not improve at all. Yu Qingya desires to the extreme. Instead, hatred arose, since she couldn't get King Langya, she might as well destroy him, and support another prince to be the Lord of Destiny. Now, Yu Qingya has succeeded.

Yu Qingya put her hand on her belly intentionally or unintentionally, and said to the queen with a smile: "Thank you, empress, for your compassion. I haven't seen my family for a long time since I entered the mansion. Today, thanks to the empress's love for me, I can see six. Younger sister. Sixth sister, you are also really, I am inconvenient to move around now, why don't you come to see me in the palace?"

Yu Qingjia was unmoved, and said: "Grandma is not in good health these few days, and my servants are serving grandma at home, so I don't have time to go out."

With a smile on her lips, Yu Qingya said intentionally, "I don't know what's wrong. I feel uncomfortable in my waist these few days, and I feel flustered when I have nothing to do. If Liu Mei comes to accompany me, I'm afraid my situation will improve a lot."

Yu Qingya's smile was triumphant and sharp, she was far higher than Yu Qingjia now, and with the empress present, Yu Qingjia couldn't refuse at all. Now Yu Qingya insisted on forcing Yu Qingjia to agree, and let Yu Qingjia serve tea and water like a maidservant, running back and forth to avenge her past.

Concubine Song looked optimistic, and said: "Of course everything is the most important thing for the heirs of the county king. Since the side concubine is not feeling well, why don't you bother Miss Yu Liu and come to the palace to spend some time with the side concubine? When it is important, you are sisters, and you are more caring than outsiders when you use it."

Bai Zhi followed Yu Qingjia into the palace, and her lungs were about to explode when she heard this. This group of royal family members is really shameless. Before they move into the palace, they have already set up the prince concubine and favorite concubine. Dare to let their six ladies serve, are they worthy?

However, when Bai Zhi was angry, she also knew that the situation was stronger than others. In terms of status, Yu Qingjia was a minister, while the queen and Princess Song were monarchs. As long as they resisted, they would be disloyal, and they couldn't even show their reluctance. Bai Zhi was very angry and at the same time felt bewildered. These are the empress empress and the quasi-princess concubine of the Qi Dynasty, the two most noble women in the world. Who else can the sixth wife of their family rely on to uphold justice?

Yu Qingjia was calmer than Bai Zhi, she calmly said, "The side concubine suffers from back pain and heart palpitations? This is a serious illness, and if it is not handled well, her life may be in danger. The side concubine is still pregnant with the little emperor's heir. How can this be?" Is good?"

The more Yu Qingya listened, the weirder the expression on her face became, she couldn't help but say, "Sixth sister, don't curse me, when did I say I have heart palpitations?"

"The side concubine is tabooing illnesses and avoiding medical treatment." Yu Qingjia said very sincerely, "The side concubine is not feeling well, so she should call the imperial doctor as soon as possible, or it will be too late to hurt the emperor's heir. No, my daughter-in-law will call the imperial doctor for the side concubine. "

Yu Qingya was taken aback, and quickly said: "No need." She was terrified by Yu Qingjia's palpitations and tire slipping, and her waist seemed to really start to hurt. Yu Qingjia told Yu Qingya about several cases of miscarriage caused by not paying attention in the early stage, and she was very enthusiastic to find an imperial doctor for Yu Qingya. This time Yu Qingya didn't have palpitations, but she was going to be frightened. She couldn't help but shouted: "I'm fine, it's just a small problem. Don't mess around."

Yu Qingjia was waiting for this sentence, she stopped, and said to Yu Qingya with a smile: "As long as the side concubine is fine. By the way, the next time the side concubine feels unwell, she should go to the imperial doctor in time. I'm afraid the minister is not good at medicine. It can't help the side concubine to share her worries, but it will make the side concubine even more upset."

Yu Qingya was blocked by her own words, and her face was very ugly for a while. Princess Song glanced at Yu Qingya with a funny look, and secretly said something stupid in her heart.

Song Wangfei kept a decent and weak smile, and said: "It's just a false alarm. The side concubine can't make such a joke next time. If you talk too much, there is no guarantee that it will not be heard by the Buddha, and it will become true from now on." Yes." After Princess Song finished speaking, she deliberately stopped and coughed for a while, fearing that Yu Qingya would not hear this sentence.

Yu Qingya got angry from it, but Princess Song looked like she was about to cough and die, and she couldn't help it if she wanted to. The queen was very impatient with these lawsuits. She waved her hand and said, "If you want to talk, go outside and talk about it. I have a headache from you."

When the queen spoke, everyone could only stand up and say in unison: "Obey."

Yu Qingjia pretended that she hadn't done anything, and followed the crowd out. When she went out, she saw a man with soft eyebrows and uncomfortable eyes passing by. The servants on both sides saw him and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the prime minister."

It turned out that this was Yin Yikun, who wanted to exercise power and formed a party for personal gain. Princess Song didn't dare to offend this person, so she stepped aside early. Soon after Yin Yikun passed by, there were frolicking voices from the queen's palace, the voices were bold and presumptuous, without any fear.

Yu Qingjia lowered her eyes, pretending that she didn't hear anything.

After walking out of the range of the queen's palace, the voice could no longer be heard, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The queen was not in front of her, and Princess Song didn't bother to pretend to be friendly with Yu Qingya, and said directly: "Side concubine Yu, since your stomach is uncomfortable, then hurry up and find a place to have a baby, and Liu Niangzi and I won't bother you. "

Yu Qingya sneered secretly, wondering who to curse, she was not to be outdone, she deliberately stroked her stomach and replied: "Princess Xie misses you, but my child is very obedient and not troublesome, and he must be a healthy and stable child after birth." Temperament. But the princess is right. After all, I am pregnant with a child now. I am different from others and cannot stand for a long time. If I stand for a long time, I am afraid that the queen will not forgive me. The princess and the sixth sister walk slowly. I will find The place is resting."

Princess Song smirked twice. Although the corners of her mouth were smiling, her eyes wanted to turn into knives and stab Yu Qingya's stomach hard: "Then side concubine Yu needs to rest well."

Yu Qingjia stood aside and watched this good show silently. Princess Song's body was much worse than Yu Qingya's. When she sat in the side hall, Princess Song's face was already pale and green, and she couldn't tell whether she was angry or tired. have to. Yu Qingjia sat down attentively, slowly counting the cracks in the bricks on the ground. Princess Song inhaled the medicine sachet for a while, and finally regained her composure. When she turned her head, she saw Yu Qingjia sitting upright on one side, with a radiant and astonishing expression. Princess Song smiled wryly. This time, what she said really came from the heart: "Sometimes I really envy Liu Niangzi, but I don't envy you for your unparalleled beauty, but I envy you for your health and gentleness."

Yu Qingjia bowed her head and said, "My concubine praises you, your life is what all women want."

"Where are the girls going? Maybe." Princess Song smiled self-deprecatingly, then suddenly changed the subject, looking at Yu Qingjia with deep meaning, "All the girls envy me, but what about Miss Yu Liu?"

"What is the meaning of this, princess?"

"Why does Liu Niangzi pretend that she doesn't understand?" Princess Song used that kind of virtuous and magnanimous wife to recruit concubines for her husband, and said in a kind tone, "When the county king left Beijing, he specifically mentioned Liu Niangzi to me, saying that Yu The beauty is astonishing as heaven and man, and it is unforgettable to see it. Miss Yu Liu must have known that the matter of the county king's appointment as the crown prince is a certainty. I discussed with the county king and drew up a position for you as a sixth-rank child. Wait until he wins back Afterwards, I will directly marry you in with the relevant etiquette of the Eastern Palace, so that you will not be wronged by being the side concubine of the county king."

Concubine Song coughed a few times while covering her lips and said with a smile: "Liu Niangzi, the county king really has the only heart for you, you will be blessed in the future."
