She has a stomachache, is she about to give birth? Where did he see it? Ye Yuxiao was stunned for a while and then realized that she was holding Ouyang Sheng's hand tightly. No wonder he had such a misunderstanding.

She quickly let go of Ouyang Sheng's hand and said, "I'm fine. I'm worried about Prince Rong."

Ouyang Sheng understood where her worries came from. He touched her belly and said, "We have indeed been secretly supporting King Rong. That is because King Heng is cruel and does not have the potential to become a wise king. But now King Heng is gone. It doesn’t matter who becomes the crown prince, so we don’t necessarily have to side with King Rong.”

Apart from the couple, there were only Gu Qingyan and Gu Ruyan in the room. Neither of them were outsiders, so Ouyang Sheng didn't have so many scruples when speaking.

What Ouyang Sheng said makes sense. Since they don't necessarily have to support King Rong, what about King Rong and what does it have to do with them? Concubine Li was relegated to the cold palace, most likely because she brought it upon herself and had no one else to blame. Ye Yuxiao nodded: "It's not bad to be a pure minister."

Pure minister? Well, yes, be a pure minister, but being a pure minister has more than one meaning. Ouyang Sheng held her hand and said: "As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in. What we want is a future wise king. It doesn't matter who the future wise king is." No matter he, he is Ping Ping. Prince Nan's Mansion, Prince Lu's Mansion, and Duke Chengguo's Mansion only care about Daxi's future. They have no selfish motives and a clear conscience.

After Ouyang Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Gu Qingyan and Gu Ruyan: "There are a few words that I would like to ask you to tell your respective husbands. We have never publicly supported Prince Rong, so there is no need to worry about Concubine Li. , to express your loyalty to King Rong. Everyone, no matter how high-minded it is, it doesn’t matter, even if it offends King Rong.”

Gu Qingyan and Gu Ruyan both nodded and agreed.

Ye Yuxiao tugged on Ouyang Sheng's sleeve: "Why don't you go there in person? It's too disrespectful of you to let them take the lead."

Ouyang Sheng said: "At this time, if I still run out, wouldn't it arouse suspicion? Do you want people to classify us as a party of honorable kings?"

Ah, yes, it is better to be cautious when the storm is at its peak. Ye Yuxiao nodded and asked another question: "We are standing by this time. Aren't you afraid of offending King Rong? What if he becomes a great treasure in the future and regards us as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and retaliates?"

"What you said reminded me." Ouyang Sheng said, and said to Gu Qingyan and Gu Ruyan, "When you go back, please send me a message. If King Rong comes to investigate, ask him to come to me. I know how to deal with it."

It turned out that he had already thought of a countermeasure, and Ye Yuxiao was completely relieved.

Gu Qingyan and Gu Ruyan agreed again and immediately left home to convey Ouyang Sheng's words to their respective husbands.

As the saying goes, some are happy and some are sad. Concubine Li was relegated to the cold palace, and Prince Rong was in a worrying situation. However, Concubine De in Jingren Palace was very happy and ushered in the most glorious moment of her life so far. All the concubines and concubines in the palace came to congratulate her on "Lin'er" and her hope in this life. Some of them wanted to curry favor with her because they felt that the post was hers, and the emperor's choice for the crown prince was this infant child. The little prince.

Concubine De spent three days to get rid of the concubines who kept coming to Jingren Palace to congratulate her, and ordered people to invite Hu Yanping into the palace. She asked the palace maid to serve tea to Hu Yanping, and then personally brought the little prince to her. She teased the sleepy baby and said to him: "Your Majesty, you must remember that it was this Princess Wujie who saved your life."

Hu Yanping said hurriedly: "My queen, hurry up and don't say that. I have nothing to do here."

Concubine De looked apologetic: "This time when the emperor was discussing the merits and rewards, he did not mention the princess. It was my idea. But I have good intentions and thought that you are a woman who has not left the palace. If people know that you have entered the palace, Going to the delivery room will damage your reputation. I don’t know what the rules are in your country of Wujie, but in Daxi, we care about these very much."

"Your Majesty, I misunderstood, that's not what I meant." Hu Yanping said, "I mean, the person who was determined to save the little prince was Princess Jiali. At most, I just helped her spread a message and helped her. That’s all, I don’t dare to take credit.”

"No matter how thoughtful she is, if it weren't for you, the little prince wouldn't be able to be saved." Concubine De smiled.

After she finished speaking, she handed the little prince to the nanny and took Hu Yanping's hand: "We have become friends because of the little prince. How about we treat each other as sisters from now on? What do you think?"

Hu Yanping withdrew her hand without leaving a trace, lowered her head and said, "I am very grateful for your love, but I am only a daughter of the vassal country and I really don't dare to reach high places."

Actually rejected her? Is this a deliberate attempt to distance herself from her? Concubine De was so embarrassed that she almost lost her temper. Hu Yanping felt the change in Concubine De's mood and stood up to leave without saying a few words.

After she left, Concubine De was still angry: "This Hu Yanping is so ignorant of praise!"

Huansha changed tea for her and said, "My dear, she doesn't hesitate to offend you and is not willing to get close to you. It shows that she really has no ambition to be in the harem. You should be happy."

This seemed to make sense, and Concubine De's mood immediately improved.

At this time, a little palace maid came in to report that Princess Kali was visiting.

Concubine De smiled: "Is she here to thank me for my kind words for her and to regain her access to the palace? Come on, let her come in."

The little palace maid followed the order and brought Princess Kali in.

Princess Kali bowed to Concubine De and smiled at her: "My queen, are you satisfied with this great gift I gave you?"

"Did you give me a big gift?" Concubine De narrowed her eyes slightly and looked her up and down, "Where is the gift?"

Princess Jiali looked at the little prince in the nanny's arms: "Isn't the gift right here? Isn't the empress dissatisfied?"

"You gave this to me?" Concubine De thought it was ridiculous, and she thought Princess Jiali was too shameless. "It was you who asked Princess Wujie to ask me for help and saved the little prince. It was me who helped. It’s your favor! As for the little prince being raised in my own palace, that is the emperor’s grace.”

Princess Kali looked at Concubine De and smiled without saying a word.

Concubine De is not stupid. After thinking about it for a moment, she understood: "You...you chose me from the beginning?"

If he hadn't already had the intention, how could he have paid attention to the situation in the cold palace. While she was in the palace, she didn't even know that Yang Zhaoyi was having a difficult delivery, but Princess Jiali knew about it first in the Pavilion of All Nations. It can be seen that she had a place in mind for this child from the beginning.

Concubine De dismissed the nanny with a wave of her hand and asked Princess Kali: "Why this palace?"

"I have always taken care of Yang Zhaoyi's pregnancy. I have feelings for the little prince." Princess Jia Li said sincerely, "I did not expect that Yang Zhaoyi would die. What I thought at the beginning was that Yang Zhaoyi could not protect herself now. I must have to Find a mother for the little prince who can protect him and grow up safely. And in this palace, who is more suitable than you, my empress?"
