When Xiao Ji decided to marry Fu Yuanxiao, he guessed that someone would use this matter to ridicule him.
Do you think that taunting him about this matter will anger him and embarrass him?
"Concubine Qi, she is not a fool, I really like her."
A contemptuous smile appeared on Concubine Qi's lips. She was still happy after marrying a fool?
A prince with no ambition like Prince Yu is the least threatening among the princes.
Xiao Heng strode over and greeted Concubine Qi, "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi."
Xiao Ji greeted Xiao Heng, "Brother."
Xiao Heng looked at Xiao Ji and joked: "My fourth brother is so lucky to marry the most beautiful woman in the capital."
Xiao Ji saw Xiao Heng and said calmly: "Brother is joking."
Concubine Qi smiled and said: "What a coincidence today, I met King Yu and King Yi while walking in the Imperial Garden. It turns out that the rumors are true. No wonder King Yu likes them so much. Who can not love beauties?"
Xiao Ji: "..."
"Concubine Qi, I have something to do and I'll leave first." Xiao Heng glanced at Concubine Qi's swollen belly, raised the corners of his lips, took out two beads from his sleeves, and scattered them when he passed by Concubine Qi. At Concubine Qi's feet, after doing this, she strode away from the scene.
Xiao Ji didn't want to get too entangled with them. He said: "Concubine Qi continues to walk, I will take my leave first."
Concubine Qi also felt bored. She held the hand warmer and walked away while twisting her waist. The sole of her foot suddenly slipped.
At this moment, a black cat suddenly ran out from the tree and rushed towards Concubine Qi.
Both events happened at the same time.
"ah!!!"
As Concubine Qi screamed, she fell heavily to the ground.
Xiao Ji was very close to Concubine Qi. With his skills, he was more likely to catch Concubine Qi. However, he just watched Concubine Qi fall to the ground with cold eyes.
When the maids saw Concubine Qi falling, Hua Rong Shishi was frightened and ran over in panic.
"Empress..."
"Mother, are you okay?"
Concubine Qi held her stomach tightly with both hands. The hand warmer in her hand had disappeared. Her face was pale, "My child, my child..."
The personal maid caught a glimpse of red under Concubine Qi's skirt. When she got up first, she found that the snow-white petticoat was stained red with blood.
"Ah!" the palace maid screamed, "I'm so red!"
When Xiao Heng heard the screams, he stopped and looked back, only to see Concubine Qi falling to the ground, thinking that she fell on the beads.
He raised the corners of his lips and said, Xiao Ji, you are going to be finished this time.
When the emperor heard the news and rushed over, Concubine Qi had already been sent back to Yixiang Palace, and the imperial doctor was treating her.
"How is Concubine Qi?"
The imperial doctor bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the child was not saved. Concubine Qi was bleeding heavily. Fortunately, it was stopped."
When the emperor heard that the child was gone, his face instantly darkened. The imperial doctor diagnosed that Concubine Qi's baby was a princess.
There were twenty-seven princes under him, and they finally hoped for a princess, but it was gone?
He glanced at the palace ladies kneeling on the ground.
"How could Concubine Qi fall down when she was well?"
The palace maid shivered in fear, "When I returned to the emperor, a cat suddenly ran out and hit the empress in the stomach."
At this time, outside Yixiang Palace
Xiao Heng stood there upright, with gloating in his voice, "Fourth brother, I'm not talking about you, how much my father values Concubine Qi's belly, and yet you pushed her. This time, even if I want to save you, I can't do anything."
Xiao Ji didn't squint his eyes, "Brother, don't talk nonsense, I didn't recommend Concubine Qi."
Xiao Heng sneered in his heart, so many people saw that Xiao Ji was closest to Concubine Qi, what's the use of quibbles now?
The emperor came out of Yixiang Palace and saw Xiao Heng and Xiao Ji standing at the door. He said coldly: "Go back."
"It's Father." Xiao Ji glanced at Xiao Heng and strode away first.
Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment, watching Xiao Ji leave, a little confused, why didn't his father hold Xiao Ji accountable?
He couldn't help but ask: "Father, how did Concubine Qi fall?"
The emperor said: "I was hit in the stomach by a cat, and it was still black. Where did the black cat come from in the palace?"
Xiao Heng was stunned, why didn't he see the cat?
On the way back, Xiao Ji thought about what happened just now. Xiao Heng appeared too suddenly and left too suddenly.
Xiao Heng didn't even see it, so he just said it was him who pushed it?
Xiao Ji returned to the scene with doubts. He was standing where Concubine Qi was. He looked around and saw something on the ground. He bent down to pick it up and found it was a pearl.
He squatted there, glanced at it, and found another treasure.
Now he understands why Xiao Heng said that and wanted to frame him.
As a result, a cat caused trouble.
Xiao Jifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.
He wrapped the two pearls and put them in his sleeves, got up and returned to the palace.
In the study
Xiao Ji stood in front of the desk and when he took out the pearl from his sleeve, something fell out.
When Xu Yan saw it, he bent down to pick it up and handed it to Xiao Ji, "Your Majesty."
Xiao Ji took it over and looked at it for a few times. It was the talisman Fu Yuanxiao gave him, but he forgot to throw it away when he went out.
The talisman was clearly folded and put into his sleeve, so how could it have a hole in it?
The hole was black in color, as if it had been burned by fire.
Xu Yan asked: "Your Majesty, do you have any questions?"
"No." Xiao Ji put the talisman on the desk and handed the bead in his hand to Xu Yan, "Go check the origin of this bead and see if it is Xiao Heng's item."
"I understand." Xu Yan strode out holding the beads.
Xiao Ji picked up the talisman again, still confused, how could the good paper be broken?
Fu Yuanxiao was leaning on the couch, with two soft pillows behind him, and a snow-white mink blanket covering his legs to keep him warm.
She was eating melon seeds out of boredom.
Baozhu opened the heavy curtain and walked in. His subordinates looked at Fu Yuanxiao on the couch.
"Girl, the master has sent a letter, saying that the eldest son is back and asking you to go back and have a look."
Fu Yuanxiao paused while snacking on melon seeds. Her eldest brother was four years older than her. He started learning business from his father at the age of thirteen. He was away from home all year round and could not see him often.
The eldest brother would become impatient every time he saw her. After becoming stupid, he would dislike her even more and would not want to say anything to her.
But she and her eldest brother are siblings from the same mother.
"Then let's go back now. We can still catch up with lunch."
"My slave, go and tell Lao Ma to prepare the carriage."
Baozhu said and walked out.
The carriage was one of the dowries. Fu Yunting spent a lot of money to customize it. The level of luxury was comparable to the luxurious carriages in the palace.
The wheels of the carriage have a shock-absorbing effect, and the material of the carriage is made of cold iron, which can prevent sword attacks.
The carriage was covered with a thick mink blanket, and the cushions were also made of very soft animal fur.
The carriage was more than five times heavier than an ordinary carriage and required two horses to pull it.
Fu Yuanxiao got into the carriage accompanied by Baozhu and leaned on the soft cushions, which was very comfortable.
Prince Yu's Mansion and Fu Mansion were not far apart, and they arrived in half an hour.
After the carriage stopped, Fu Yuanxiao got off the carriage with her skirt in hand.
As soon as she walked in, she saw a tall figure walking towards her.
Fu Yuanxiao took a closer look and recognized him as his eldest brother Fu Jinzhou.
