When I am connected with the prince of the same life

"But Jinxi, I don't like him, and I can't force myself to like him." Cheng Muqing put down his drawing book and said to her helplessly, "I know you are afraid that Concubine Qing will threaten my status, but I can't go for this." Competing for favor. Neither my tutor nor my emotions allow me to do this."

"What if it's Lin Heng!" The door creaked open.Yang Shurui took big steps and stepped into the hall.

"Your Majesty!" Jinxi exclaimed and knelt down with all the maids in the room.

"You guys go out." Cheng Muqing said.

Jin Xi glanced at her worriedly, and when he saw her smiling at him, he had no choice but to take her away.

The door was closed again, and the candlelight in the room burned quietly, illuminating the two of them.

"Why are you here, Your Majesty?" Cheng Muqing stood up and saluted him slightly.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Yang Shurui approached her, "What if it's Lin Heng?"

"Lin Heng..." Cheng Muqing knew that no matter how he answered this question, it would touch his skin, so he said calmly, "I can't do anything."

"Why? You believe he won't take concubines, right?"

"..."

"I want you to forget about him." Yang Shurui pressed her on the table and leaned over to kiss her lips.

"You should go to Concubine Qing!" While struggling, Cheng Muqing accidentally knocked over the porcelain vase, which rolled to the ground with a crisp sound.

This sound also brought Yang Shurui's thoughts back a little. He held her hand and looked at it carefully, "Why are you so rash?"

"It's not because you are here!" Cheng Muqing said.

"Are you so fed up with me?"

"..."

Bored?In fact, she was still annoyed deep down.After all, the person in front of her should be her enemy.But after she married him, she really didn't suffer any grievances.This makes it impossible for her to truly hate him...

"Look at how entangled you are." Yang Shurui was a little funny and carried her to the bed.He half-knelt on the bed and touched her belly with his big hand, "Why is there no movement at all?"

"Maybe you can't do it." Cheng Muqing looked serious.

"..."

……

On the other side, in the huge Haitang Hall, Wanqing was looking cool.When the young eunuch came to report that His Majesty was not coming, his face turned dark instantly.

"How could a Jin woman with an ordinary appearance be so favored by His Majesty!" Wanqing clenched her fists with both hands and slammed them on the table.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry." The nun on the side quickly comforted her, "The days are still long, and we will always have the opportunity to win your Majesty's favor. Besides, when the late emperor died, without your help, His Majesty would not have been able to successfully succeed to the throne. Your Majesty is very grateful to you. , I still have other feelings, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to agree to your entry into the palace.”

Perhaps because she was comforted by her grandma's words, Wanqing's mood finally improved.

"I heard that our queen had a fiancé before she got married." Mammy said, "That fiancé is the seventh prince of the Jin Kingdom."

Wanqing looked at her and motioned for her to continue.

"In a few days, it will be our Majesty's birthday. At that time, the Jin Congress will send envoys. When the time comes, the empress can devise a plan to drive a wedge between your majesty and the empress."

"Yeah." Wanqing nodded.

"Furthermore, I have heard that the Imperial Hospital has always provided the Empress with a soup to avoid children." Mammy lowered her voice, "This matter was ordered by Taifu Ruan. We can turn this matter into the Empress' order."

Wanqing nodded thoughtfully.

-

In preparation for Emperor Qi's birthday, everyone in Qi State started making arrangements several days in advance.

On the day of his birthday, everyone gathered in the Qilin Hall. Foreign envoys also came here to give congratulatory gifts, including the Jin Dynasty.

This year, although Qi State did not attack Jin State again, it secretly annexed a lot of Jin State's land.No matter how angry Jin was, he had no choice but to accept Qi Guo as the boss.

Among the envoys who came to Qi, there was a young figure.

The man was handsome, wearing a dark robe embroidered with gold, and a jade crown on his head. He was a handsome young man.

But when Jinxi saw this person, his whole body trembled.She ignored the work she was doing and hurried back to Fengluan Palace.

In Fengluan Palace, Yang Shurui was painting Cheng Muqing's eyebrows.

He painted quite skillfully, almost in one go.

After applying rouge and putting on a red gold robe, Cheng Muqing's whole body seemed to be glowing.

Jinxi walked into the room, feeling uneasy and afraid to speak for a moment.

"Tonight?" Cheng Muqing saw her eyes wandering and felt something was wrong.

"Did you see the envoy from Jin?" Yang Shurui asked with a cold face.

"This slave didn't see it." Jin Xi knelt down quickly.

The emperor looked like a normal person next to Cheng Muqing.But in the eyes of these palace ladies, he is a living king of hell.

Once, Cheng Muqing suffered from diarrhea for three days because of a bad stomach.The emperor, his doctors, cooks, and the maids who served him were all killed!If Jin Xi had not been Cheng Muqing's personal maid, she might not have been able to escape death.Another time, Cheng Muqing became dissatisfied with the flattery of a certain eunuch. The next day, the eunuch's body was not even there!
"Among the envoys of Jin State, there are seven princes." Yang Shurui said.

The expression on Cheng Muqing's face did not change. When she saw Jin Xi's performance, she prepared for the worst.

But fortunately, this is not a bad result.

"Let's go." Yang Shurui took her hand and led her out of Fengluan Hall.

After passing through the long corridor and lengthy palace passage, Cheng Muqing was pulled into the Qilin Palace.She glanced hastily and saw Lin Heng sitting not far away.

After not seeing him for a year, he seemed to be much taller.But the childishness on his face has not faded, and he still looks like a child.

But soon, she withdrew her gaze and followed Yang Shurui to the seat.

Yang Shurui put his arm around her shoulders and asked her to lean against him.Unlike before, Cheng Muqing's body was a little stiff.She adjusted her mood countless times in her heart, finally smiled, and then leaned against him softly.

In the past nearly half a year, Cheng Muqing had almost figured out Yang Shurui's thoughts.He is somewhat similar to himself.That is, everything must go smoothly.A head-on confrontation will only arouse his rebellion.Obviously, Yang Shurui liked her very much.There was a smile on his face, and his other hand touched her hand involuntarily.

After such a long period of maintenance, her hands have become much more delicate.

This scene was very dazzling in Lin Heng's eyes.He tightened his jaw, endured the jealousy in his heart, and controlled his emotions.

"Your Majesty, all the countries have arrived." The eunuch stepped forward and introduced Yang Shurui with a bowed body.

This time came not only the Jin State, the only one in the Central Plains that had not yet been annexed, but also envoys from foreign tribes, barbarians and other independent kingdoms that had been annexed and became vassals of Qi State.In addition, there are also some governors and generals from various places...

These people all stood up and recited congratulatory messages to Yang Shurui in unison.

After going through some formalities, Yang Shurui was the first to use his chopsticks.Everyone below followed suit and moved their chopsticks, and from time to time someone would blow a rainbow fart.

"Your Majesty." Wanqing, who was sitting on the other side of Yang Shurui, suddenly said, "Those foreign races, barbarians, etc. are all independent countries outside the Central Plains, and are vassals of our Qi Kingdom. I heard that they ceded cession to Your Majesty when they proclaimed themselves king. Many lands. This Jin country..."

"The State of Jin is not a vassal state. Our State of Qi and the State of Jin are friendly neighbors." Yang Shurui smiled. He glanced at Cheng Muqing with a vague look, and saw that her expression was as usual.

"But Your Majesty, this Jin envoy has not said a word since he came in. Does he respect you?" Wanqing asked with a smile.

Everyone's eyes then fell on Lin Heng.

Lin Heng pursed his lips, stood up, bowed respectfully, and said many congratulations.

"I heard that the city called Yangcheng on the border of Jin State is not peaceful?" Wanqing asked with a smile.

"It's just a group of bandits. The Jin Kingdom will take care of them soon." Lin Heng replied.

"A small city." Yang Shurui said nonchalantly, "You and I are allies. If you need anything, just say it and I will help you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Heng saluted again.

"We are all a family. Our Queen is from the Jin State. Why do you say so many foreigners?" Wanqing said, "Envoy, you should know. Our Queen is the second daughter of General Cheng of the Jin State."

Lin Heng couldn't hold back and looked deeply at Cheng Muqing.

Cheng Muqing, however, tried hard to control his gaze and just smiled, "Since you have married into Qi State, you are a member of Qi State."

They are no longer related.

After getting her hint, Lin Heng withdrew his gaze and said, "No matter what, the Queen is also the daughter of General Cheng. The door of our Jin Kingdom will always be open to the Queen."

"Thank you for your love..."

"That's enough." Yang Shurui lowered his face and kissed her cheek sideways, "Let's eat."

"Envoy Lin, that wine is the best in our Qi Kingdom. Please try it quickly." Wanqing said with a smile, "Our queen also likes that wine the most." She had already inquired, and the seventh prince almost drank it. No alcohol.

Hearing this, Lin Heng smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, raised it upwards, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Concubine Qing, my sister is here to toast you." Cheng Muqing picked up the wine and looked at Wanqing with a smile, "Sister, you must understand what it means to eat more and talk less."

Wanqing looked at her for a long time, then smiled and said, "Yes."

Everyone present felt that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, and some people started to laugh.

Lin Heng was so drunk that he said goodbye after a few drinks.

Immediately afterwards, Wanqing also stood up, "Your Majesty, Madam, I am a little dizzy, so I will leave first."

Yang Shurui didn't take it to heart, waved his hand and told her to go down.

Lin Heng had just drank and was not in the right state.Wanqing left immediately, so if there was any conspiracy... Cheng Muqing was a little worried and glanced at Jin Xi who was standing aside.

Combining everything just now, Jin Xi felt confident and quietly stepped back.

The banquet lasted for a long time, and Cheng Muqing's face almost went numb with laughter when he faced the flattery from everyone below.Seeing that Jin Xi had not come back yet, she was worried that something had happened, so she whispered in Yang Shurui's ear, "Your Majesty, I want to pay tribute to you."

"Yes." Yang Shurui nodded and let her go. "If you're tired, just go back to the palace. I'll find you right away."

"Yes." Cheng Muqing smiled, turned and left.

She walked out of the Qilin Palace through the back door and stopped a palace maid casually, "Where is this evening?"

The palace maid shook her head and said she didn't know.

Cheng Muqing walked around and suddenly saw Jin Xi running towards him in a hurry.

what happened?Cheng Muqing frowned.

"Your Majesty!" Jin Xi stopped and whispered in her ear, "Concubine Qing's people took away the Seventh Prince."

"Where did you take it?"

Jinxi quickly led the way.

She made her way across the cobblestones and through the rockeries.Under the rockery, there is a trickling pool of water.There was a splashing sound, and a figure was lying on the ground not far away.

"Go and see what's going on with that person." Cheng Muqing looked at the palace maid aside.

The palace maid said "yes" and walked there.

Walking up to the figure, the palace maid turned around and said, "Your Majesty, you are a eunuch."

"Eunuch?" Cheng Muqing frowned and walked towards him doubtfully.

As she was walking, she suddenly felt the hairs on her back stand up, and a slight sound of wind sounded behind her ears.She subconsciously turned sideways, clenched her fist and struck back.

The palace maid behind caught the fist, raised her leg and kicked it sideways.

"Empress—" Jin Xi's voice suddenly echoed in the rockery.

Cheng Muqing was distracted for a moment and suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.She quickly covered her nose, but the next moment, she was pushed to the ground.

She tried to get up, but the people in front of her left one after another.

"Shu Shu?"
