Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Chapter 179 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (58)

Because Xiao Jin had to attend court every day, it was impossible for him to stay.

Therefore, Xiao Jin took the initiative and directly brought Li Xiuxiu and her son into the palace, with the purpose of reassuring Song Lingxi.

Originally, Li Xiuxiu was still trying to refuse because she was worried that she would cause trouble for Song Lingxi.

In particular, she felt increasingly overwhelmed in the past two days, and was worried that she would die in the palace, making Lingxi sad and delaying her pregnancy.

But the emperor dispelled her doubts. If Song Lingxi couldn't even see them for the last time, she was afraid that she would be even more sad and upset. It would be better to bring them into the palace.

Li Xiuxiu finally nodded in agreement, but Yi Changfeng was a man after all, and it would be inconvenient for him to live in the harem. She didn't know how the emperor would arrange it.

……

royal palace.

Fengyi Palace.

Song Lingxi specially arranged for her aunt to live in a side hall, and Yi Changfeng was arranged to live in Chonghua Palace, which was originally the place where the Taifu taught and was separated from the harem.

After Song Lingxi visited Li Xiuxiu, she returned to the main hall. Although she was worried about Li Xiuxiu's health, she knew that she needed rest, so she just visited her and came back.

In the main hall, a familiar figure in bright yellow was sitting at the table. His eyebrows were deep and cold, his face was serious, and he was flipping through a medical book.

“Guess who I am?”

Song Lingxi had changed into comfortable flat shoes, so she walked without making any sound. Xiao Jin was engrossed in reading a book when someone blindfolded him from behind.

Xiao Jin smelled the pleasant fragrance of peach blossoms, a smile slowly formed on the corner of her mouth. She put down the book, covered her small hand with her big hand, and explored it carefully.

"Let me guess, is it Liu Hong? Liu Lu?"

Xiao Jin felt Song Lingxi's hand covering his eyes getting tighter and tighter, and he could picture her expression in his mind. She must be pouting and looking angry.

"Humph!"

Song Lingxi snorted in anger, causing the two palace maids, Liu Hong and Liu Lu, who were following behind her, to secretly laugh. How could their queen be so cute? It was obvious that the emperor was teasing her!

"Xi'er, come here, let me take a look, are you tired?"

Xiao Jin stopped teasing her, turned around very carefully, held her little hand, looked her up and down, and seeing that her complexion was still rosy, he smiled and nodded.

"I have already sent the imperial physician to inspect the entire Fengyi Palace and deal with some of the dirty things. Now you can live here without worry."

"Your Majesty only cares about your son, not me?"

Of course Song Lingxi knew that she was doing it for her own good, but she was deliberately picking on her. Well, actually, she was just a little unhappy because Xiao Jin had just teased her.

"Why are you so angry? Let me take a look. You can hang a teapot on your little mouth."

Liu Hong and Liu Lu listened to the emperor coaxing their queen. The two looked at each other and quietly retreated with a shrewd look.

"Your Majesty, are you finding me annoying?"

Song Lingxi looked at Xiao Jin with resentful eyes, but the man kissed her so hard that she couldn't open her eyes. The man kissed her with great cherishment, sliding down from her eyes, nose, mouth, chin... all the way down.

Xiao Jin was afraid that she couldn't stand steadily, so he held her waist with his hands. The kiss between them was passionate, sticky and hot, and they fell in love without realizing it.

"do not move."

Song Lingxi was frightened by Xiao Jin's reaction. Xiao Jin's hoarse voice almost made her legs go weak. This was not a good thing to do. She pushed him hard with her little hands, trying to push him away.

"Xi'er, be good. I won't touch you. Let me hold you."

However, Xiao Jin put his hands on her waist and continued to kiss her lips. Seeing that his actions were becoming more and more excessive, Xiao Jin suddenly stopped.

He hugged the girl tightly, trying to calm his anger. His warm breath hit Song Lingxi's neck, making her almost unable to stand.

After a long while, Xiao Jin's rapid breathing finally calmed down, large beads of sweat fell from his forehead, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.

Song Lingxi gradually felt relieved. She was afraid that she could not stand steadily, so she hung on Xiao Jin's neck like a big human-shaped pendant, which softened Xiao Jin's heart.

He was just about to pick her up and have a good time with her, but he saw the little palace maid hurriedly coming to report -

After Liu Hong bowed, she whispered, "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine, someone from Shoukang Palace has come to say that the Empress Dowager wants you two to come over."

As soon as these words were spoken, Song Lingxi and Xiao Jin looked at each other at the same time. Song Lingxi didn't know that the Queen Mother wanted her to go over. After all, the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

But Xiao Jin did know that there was such a big commotion in Fengyi Palace today that it alarmed the entire Imperial Hospital, so it would be hard for Shoukang Palace not to know about it.

He also took the opportunity to send back all the various contraceptive products that the Queen Mother had given to Xier as a warning.

Xiao Jin pondered for a moment, still worried about Song Lingxi going there. There were some things he didn't understand before, but after reading medical books and asking imperial physicians, he knew that some spices might be harmful to Xier.

He held Song Lingxi's shoulders and stopped her from going out: "Listen to me and rest in Fengyi Palace. If you feel bored, let Liu Hongliu read the storybook to you."

"But the Queen Mother has summoned me. If I don't go, will I offend the Queen Mother?"

Song Lingxi's worries are not unreasonable. The empress dowager has been immersed in the palace for many years. With her power, she can make Song Lingxi beautiful quietly.

Fortunately, she is now protected by the emperor, and the empress dowager will not do anything to her for the time being. But in the future, since she has offended the empress dowager like this, it is inevitable that the empress dowager will take action against her.

"Don't worry, no one can touch you while I am here."

Xiao Jin was worried about Song Lingxi going to the Empress Dowager's Palace. If he wanted to go, he would have to find an imperial physician to check her out, just like in Fengyi Palace. Otherwise, if she was accidentally tricked, he would regret it.

"I will obey you."

Song Lingxi looked at Xiao Jin with admiration in her eyes. She believed in the emperor, and Xiao Jin was the person she trusted most in the palace. If he said he could protect her, she would believe him.

"Your Highness and I will be waiting together for His Majesty's return."

Song Lingxi took his big hand and put it on her belly. This action made Xiao Jin very happy. For the first time, he felt that Xier truly accepted him.

There was a bit more tenderness and love in his narrow and long phoenix eyes, and only he knew that his heart was beating restlessly, as if telling of his joy.

"Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he strode out of the door with big strides. Once he was out of Fengyi Palace, his aura reappeared, as powerful as a rainbow and decisive in killing.

Eunuch Li secretly clicked his tongue when he saw this. He was afraid that only Concubine Ling could make the Emperor calm down. He must not offend this master in the future.

……

Shoukang Palace.

The air was filled with serene and peaceful sandalwood incense. The Queen Mother twisted the Buddhist beads in her hands and chanted "Amitabha" continuously.

She knelt in front of the Buddha statue, very pious, with a kind face, and indeed had some of the indifference and compassion of a Bodhisattva in the world.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

"Mother."

Xiao Jin came to the small Buddhist temple and looked at the empress dowager who was kneeling devoutly. He also knelt down, took a stick of incense and bowed.

"May our ancestors bless my son to be born safely and live in good health for many years."

The Queen Mother stopped reciting the Buddhist beads and still closed her eyes: "Your Majesty, are you not on guard against me?"

Xiao Jin originally had a cold face, but after hearing what the Queen Mother said, he sneered and said in confusion.

"Mother, I don't understand. I never had any interest in women before. I wish I could have them every day so I could have a child."

"Now, my son has finally found someone who is considerate to him. Why did the Queen Mother put those harmful things there? Does the Queen Mother want to harm Xier or me?"

Xiao Jin really didn't know why his mother's attitude had changed so drastically. Before Xier was born, she had been talking about it every day.

But when Xi'er came, she wanted to harm Xi'er. She had never even heard of some of those drugs, such as safflower, musk, and fire hazard...

"You, how can you look at me like this?"

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes, she couldn't believe it and said, "Your Majesty, do you really not understand my feelings?"

"Song is a second-time bride. She is now two months pregnant. During that period, you must know that the baby in her belly may be from the Xie family!"

"The things I sent her were meant to prevent her from getting pregnant during this period, so as to avoid the current situation. I ask you, can you tell the difference?"

The empress dowager shook her sleeves, took Rong Pei's hand, stood up, and returned to the couch, leaving Xiao Jin alone kneeling on the mat.

Xiao Jin closed his eyes. When he first learned that Xier was two months pregnant, he was nervous at first, but he never thought of having an abortion.

"Mother, I will not agree with you taking action against Xi'er. I can only touch her and this woman. If she gets hurt, I will never have another child. I hope you will consider this."

Xiao Jin didn't stay after he finished speaking. He had already decided on a person, and he loved the child as well as the whole person. Even if the child was not his, so what? He couldn't strangle the person to death.

No matter how cruel he was, he wouldn't be so cruel as to not tolerate a child, especially when that child was Xier's own flesh and blood.

But Xiao Jin felt that since he and Xier were so in love, the baby should be pregnant with his child, his prince.

After Xiao Jin left, Rong Pei carefully observed the Queen Mother's expression. Seeing that her face was so dark that water could drip out of it, she hesitated for a moment but still did not speak.

However, the Queen Mother couldn't hold it anymore. She felt that Xiao Jin's attitude chilled her heart. Who had she worked so hard for? It was Xiao Jin.

"Rong Pei, what's his attitude? I'm doing this for his own good, but he's blaming me instead!"

Rong Pei saw that the Queen Mother was furious with the Emperor and hurried to comfort her.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. It's not good to hurt yourself. Have a piece of sweet lychee. The Emperor just got it and I brought it to you."

"Well, that's all he's good for!"

The Queen Mother took a look at the peeled lychees, which were crystal clear, plump and juicy, and her anger subsided slightly.

Rong Pei had served the empress dowager for a long time, so she naturally knew that the empress dowager loved the emperor and was very strict with him because of her love for him. However, she should not interfere. No matter what choice was made, it was the emperor who should make the decision.

"I think that no matter whose child Concubine Ling is carrying, the next one will definitely be the emperor's, and there is still a long way to go.

"Your Majesty is right. If you hurt the Imperial Concubine, it would really hurt His Majesty's heart. Why don't you give in a little? The Emperor will definitely remember your kindness."

Rong Pei peeled another litchi for the empress dowager and handed it to her lips. Seeing the empress dowager waved her hand to let her leave, she knew that her words had worked.

So he bowed and quietly left.

The Queen Mother pondered for a long time alone in the palace, and finally shook her head.

"Forget it, the emperor can do whatever he wants. I am old and useless."

The Queen Mother suddenly recalled a saying: children are there to collect debts. If you think about it this way, isn’t that the case?

In the empty hall, only the Queen Mother's faint sigh remained, long and helpless.
