After Empress Xu recovered, she anxiously organized a palace banquet, hoping to take the opportunity to win over the family members of capable people in the court, attack their wives first, and further pave the way for Yan Xian.
Ning Huayue was still lying on the bed and could not participate. Their family sent Lu Qing and Chen Qingzi as representatives of the female family members to follow Yan Fuguang into the palace for the banquet.
Chen Qingzi didn't want to face Yan Fuguang, so she went to the carriage behind her first, which was exactly what Yan Fuguang wanted.
He didn't realize that Chen Qingzi gave him a cold face, and Lu Qing didn't remind him, admiring the apricot-yellow python robe he wore specially.
Yan Fuguang rarely wore clothes of such bright colors. Lu Qing was so absorbed in looking at him that she didn't notice the corners of his mouth getting higher and higher.
After a long while, Lu Qing's eyes were still glued to him, and even a thick-skinned person like Yan Fuguang felt a little embarrassed.
What's going on? Is he really more handsome than ever before?
Why doesn't he feel it when he looks in the mirror?
"Ahem...how much longer do you have to watch?"
Lu Qing naturally looked away, then raised her eyes and met Yan Fuguang's eyes. She explained belatedly: "I see that your clothes are made of rare embroidery skills."
It must be rare. How can the prince's python robe be treated casually?
Yan Fuguang believed that Lu Qing was just lusting after his body, but he was stubborn and chuckled twice: "Really? I'll let you take a good look at it when I come back tonight."
Lu Qing nodded with great interest: "Okay, I will also learn from it. In the embroidery room before, there were very few mothers with such skills."
She really admires the exquisite embroidery work.
Yan Fuguang's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, feeling ashamed of his shamelessness the previous moment.
This unspeakable expression fell in Lu Qing's eyes, and she said kindly: "What's wrong with you? If you are tired, just take a rest. I will wake you up outside the palace gate."
Yan Fuguang let out a long sigh, leaned against the box wall quietly and closed his eyes.
The carriage was very stable, Yan Fuguang gradually fell asleep, and Lu Qing kept observing him.
Seeing that Yan Fuguang had tilted his body slightly, she quietly sat over him, held the side of his face with her right hand, and put his head on her shoulder.
Until outside the palace gate, Lu Qing sat upright, and Yan Fuguang slept more and more peacefully. The familiar smell on the tip of his nose made him most comfortable.
The carriage stopped, Lu Qing gently squeezed Yan Fuguang's palm: "We're here, wake up."
Yan Fuguang opened his eyes immediately, and all fatigue was swept away.
After opening the curtain and jumping out of the carriage, Yan Fuguang stretched out his hand to help Lu Qing get out of the car.
After getting off the carriage and tidying up his clothes, Lu Qing asked him: "Will you go to Changding Palace or Fengyi Palace first later?"
"Changding Hall."
Lu Qing said "hmm", left Yan Fuguang behind, walked to Chen Qingzi, and held Chen Qingzi's hand.
Yan Fuguang: "..."
"You walk quickly and go to Changding Palace first. I and my sister will walk slowly to Fengyi Palace and won't join you."
Chen Qingzi felt a little relieved in her heart. She glanced sideways at Yan Fuguang and was very satisfied with how he was "isolated", so she followed Lu Qing's words and said, "You can go without worries."
Yan Fuguang stared at Lu Qing's hand holding Chen Qingzi, and couldn't help but think that she would never be so close to him outside. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Qingzi was also a woman, he would be sour.
Chen Qingzi curled her lips proudly, patted the back of Lu Qing's hand to draw her attention away from Yan Fuguang, and led her forward affectionately.
"I don't know if the queen will make things difficult for you. If you don't want to stay in Fengyi Palace for a while, we will go out for a walk. When the palace banquet starts, we will go directly to the banquet."
Chen Qingzi explained in detail, Lu Qing responded obediently, and soon the two sisters left Yan Fuguang behind.
Fang Jinbao glanced at Yan Fuguang, who was still on the spot, and urged: "Are you still looking at it? Concubine Chen will not steal your concubine Wei."
"I feel like she does." Yan Fuguang said expressionlessly.
Fang Jinbao: "...?"
"Forget it, let's go to Changding Hall first." Yan Fuguang strode forward, muttering as he walked, "Both men and women must be careful."
Neither Lu Qing nor Chen Qingzi was welcomed by Queen Xu, so they deliberately slowed down their pace and spent a lot of time walking back and forth to Fengyi Palace.
They greeted each other with greetings and were stabbed a few times by Empress Xu before they could sit down.
Chen Qingzi leaned over and said to Lu Qing: "You sit down for a while, I have to go and have a few words with Concubine Chen."
Concubine Chen is her aunt. Every time Chen Qingzi enters the palace, they will exchange a few words. Lu Qing nods to express that she understands and lets Chen Qingzi go in peace. If she cannot sit still and leaves Fengyi Palace later, she will send someone to her. The servant said it.
Chen Qingzi felt relieved, and Pingping Tingting took Chunyu to Concubine Chen's palace.
It can be said that Concubine Chen's attitude towards Chen Qingzi is almost the same as Empress Xu's attitude towards Ning Huayue. They all have sons of their own, but their descendants are from Yan Fuguang's backyard, so although the family relationship is still there on the surface, their stance is different.
Moreover, there are differences between Chen Qingzi and Ning Huayue. At least Ning Huayue was asked by Empress Xu to marry Yan Fuguang, but Chen Qingzi asked Concubine Chen herself to be selected as the concubine of King Qi Changfeng to become the concubine of King Jin.
Concubine Chen has very little affection for Chen Qingzi.
"Here he comes."
"Yes, Qingzi came here specifically to say hello to my aunt."
When it comes to establishing a crown prince, not only Queen Xu is unhappy, but Concubine Chen is also very angry.
She vented her anger towards the crown prince Xihe on Chen Qingzi: "In a blink of an eye, you are the crown prince's concubine. I wanted to betroth you to King Qi at the beginning, but you are stubborn and it seems that you are also far-sighted."
Chen Qingzi knelt down with a calm expression: "It was Qingzi who was stubborn at that time. It was all because of my aunt's soft heart, otherwise Qingzi would not be where she is today."
"Oh, do you know how proud your father is now? Even your mother said that if you had married King Qi at that time, you would not be as glorious as you are now."
Chen Qingzi's father is a bastard in the family. Even if Chen Qingzi's status rises, it will not be his turn to be proud.
"My father and mother made a lapse in their words. It must have been unintentional. Please don't argue with them!"
Concubine Chen had her orchid fingers raised and her nails were brightly colored. She seemed to be admiring them carelessly, but her eyes were actually cold.
"The Chen family does not tolerate ungrateful people! Please give your father and mother a good explanation for me!"
Chen Qingzi lowered her head: "Yes."
Concubine Chen's sharp eyes flashed: "Oh, do you think that if you become the crown prince's concubine, they can control the Chen family? The foundation of a woman's life is a son. If you can't give birth to a child, what does it matter if you become the crown prince's concubine? "
Chen Qingzi raised her eyes suddenly: "What do you mean?"
She was sure that Concubine Chen didn't know about Wangchenyou. Why did she also know that she couldn't have a child?
Concubine Chen slowly got down from the couch, leaned over and lifted Chen Qingzi's chin with her long nails: "Do you still remember when you begged me to let you enter Prince Jin's Mansion? You are from the Chen family, and you want to go to Prince Jin's Mansion, so I agreed. Without you, I won’t leave the Chen family and my son with any worries.”
Worries? Chen Qingzi felt cold all over.
Facing her blank gaze, Concubine Chen laughed: "Silly boy, when you make a choice, you should also think that I will not let you give birth to Prince Jin's child and become a threat to the Chen family."
Therefore, she personally administered the killer medicine to Chen Qingzi at that time.
Then he followed her wishes and sent her to Prince Jin's Mansion.
