"If the prince believed in the concubine's body, he would not have come to ask. The second lady gently pushed Liu Xu away and turned around coldly, "The concubine did mistrust others before, and almost wronged the seventh lady, but now she has apologized in public, and she has lost face, how about the concubine? Do you want the concubine to kneel and kowtow?"

"Since no one was injured in this matter, this king has no intention of pursuing this matter further. It's just that although the seventh lady has a lower background, she is not an ignorant person, so you should not have any prejudice against her in the future. Just deal with things fairly, don't be aggressive!" Liu Xu paced behind the second lady, "She doesn't have any other relatives, since she is with this king, this palace is her home, and this king can't let her be wronged, right?"

"She is the savior of the prince and the righteous daughter of the princess of Jin, who let her be wronged?" the second lady said sarcastically, "The concubine knows that the prince feels sorry for her, but it's a pity that the prince found the wrong person, and the concubine doesn't have this ability!"

"Angry?" Liu Xu smiled faintly behind his back, and then handed her a fold, "Take a look?"

"What is this?" The second lady glanced at it, her face changed, the ecstasy in her eyes made her restrain herself, but the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed, "What does this mean, prince?"

"You have been married to this king for some years, the princess is not in good health, you are in charge of the size of this palace, this king thought about it for a while, it is time to give you the name of this side concubine, it just so happens that your brother is also coming back, double happiness is coming!" Liu Xu said, "This king will play his father tomorrow, and the canonization will come down in a few days, and after the canonization, you can go back to your mother's house to live for a few days and reunite with your brother." ”

"Thank you Lord Wang!" The second lady's coldness was swept away, even though she had seen a lot of big scenes, she was still a little out of proportion because of ecstasy at the moment, she hurriedly thanked her, and kissed Liu Xu shyly, "Although the concubine has been married for several years, she has never added a son and a half daughter to the prince, but now the prince is raising the concubine so much, so that the concubine feels very guilty in body and mind!"

"What are you afraid of, you are still young, you will have children. Liu Xu pinched the second lady's face, "Are you happy now?

"Lord Wang!" the second lady smiled coquettishly.

Under the same moonlight, there are naturally a few happy and a few sad.

The joy that the second lady has gained here, naturally the rest of the people get even anger and sorrow, especially for Princess Qi, this is a sleepless night, of course, this is not the first night when she stays alone in the empty room and looks at the long moonlight, and it is not the last.

"Princess, go to sleep. Qiu Tong entered and called, "It's almost time." ”

"It's so late. The princess still looked at the night outside, and said leisurely, "It's time for the prince to sleep now, right?"

"Stay at the second lady's. Qiu Tong said, "It seems that the prince didn't blame the second lady for the previous incident, and the seventh lady is not so important in the prince's heart." ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of the princess's mouth: "You see that our prince is gentle and polite on weekdays, and he is not harsh on his subordinates, and he is also very good to the people around him." In fact, our prince's heart is very cold, and no woman can really enter his heart. I know what he wants, but I can't give it, I can't give it, but the second lady can give it, so the second lady is even more important to him. As for the Seventh Lady, who has nothing, she may be able to bring some freshness to the prince, but she is also a person who can be abandoned at any time. ”

She sighed: "Others don't despise King Qin for snubbing Princess Qin for a servant, but King Qin is also a lover, he can do anything for the woman he loves, our prince is too sober and knows what he wants most, this kind of thing for him, he will never do it." ”

"No matter what, a princess is a princess, and no one can replace it. Qiu Tong said, "Princess, you just think too much, you care too much about the prince, it will only be you who will be hurt if you continue like this, things have come to this point, we can only go step by step according to the original plan, we have no other choice." ”

"Yes!" said the princess with a wry smile, "I have no choice in the first place, so why should I put myself in a predicament? ”

"Yes. Qiu Tong paused and said, "It's not early, it's time to sleep." ”

The princess was about to fall asleep, when a servant girl entered the room and said, "Princess, there seems to be something going on with the third lady, not only did she send three maids to invite the prince from the second lady's house, but the princess ordered someone to ask for a doctor overnight, and the princess wants to go over and take a look?"

There was no surprise on the princess's face, as if it was expected, she straightened a strand of hair on her shoulder, and said lightly: "Since the third lady is in poor health, I should naturally go and take a look." ”

Dozens of people are walking inside and outside the Qiongfang Courtyard where the third lady lives at the moment, some are curiously looking towards the inner room, some are walking around worriedly, and some people are showing joy on their faces, biting each other's ears to share news.

The princess entered the house, the subordinates saluted, she smiled kindly, her eyes swept away, and she saw the third lady lying on the bed, with a shy and joyful smile on her face, Liu Xu sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand and said this gently.

"The concubine has seen the prince. She walked over and saluted, "I wonder if my sister is better?"

The third lady pursed the corners of her mouth, touched her lower abdomen, and smiled shyly: "This big night, I'm afraid of disturbing my sister, so I'm going to send someone to tell my sister tomorrow morning! ”

"This is a good thing!" The princess's face showed a hint of gratifying joy, "Our palace has been in the palace for so many years, and there has always been only one child in the world, and the prince has added another child to his knees, and our palace is also more lively!"

She held the third lady's hand again, wiped her tears, and continued: "The days of our sisters marrying the prince are not short, and I have not added a son and a half daughter to the prince, I am also very guilty here, but my sister has it now, and the child in my sister's belly is also my child, and I feel much better in my heart!"

She looked at Liu Xu again and said, "My sister is the hero of our palace, and the prince can reward my sister well!"

"What does the princess think is appropriate to reward the third lady?" asked Liu Xu.

The princess rolled her eyes and said, "The fourth lady gave birth to a son for the prince, and the third lady is also pregnant now, how about the prince promote the two to side concubines?"

The third lady was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "This is absolutely unacceptable! The fourth lady gave birth to a son, and her character in the palace is also praised by everyone, and she is qualified to become a side concubine!

"However, this king has decided to play his father and canonize the second lady as a side concubine today, but this matter has made this king a little embarrassed. Liu Xu thought for a while and said.
