Fragrant willow catkins

Seeing how pitiful he was, Ningxu felt too embarrassed to tease him anymore. She stood up, moved a chair for him, let him sit next to her, and the two of them discussed the matter properly.

Ningxu: "Then tell me, why did she do this?"

Third Master: "In order to make me think that I have ruined the girl's innocence, so as to better secure the position of queen?"

Ning Xu: "But she is a concubine and has to sleep with the emperor. If she wants to secure her position as empress, she still needs to have..."

Ningxu seemed to have thought of something, and began to count the days on her fingers. There were twenty days until the ceremony of the coronation of the empress. Even if there was any trouble at the ceremony, and the Mo family or the emperor found a way to prevent Concubine Lin from becoming the empress, Concubine Lin only needed to announce that she was pregnant, and everyone would calculate the days and it would match, and the position of empress would be secure.

The Third Master also understood Ningxu's words, "She wants to fake a pregnancy?"

Ningxu nodded, "Otherwise there is no point in giving me the medicine."

The Third Master's face changed drastically when he heard this. "Slander! She is slandering me!"

He is angry and disgusted now. For the throne, all the blame is put on him, right?

Ningxu touched the Third Master's head and comforted him, "Ah~ It's okay~ It's okay, don't be angry~"

The Third Master slowly calmed down, "Wife, please go back to the palace. They bully me when you are not here."

Ning Xu: "Be patient, be patient. A real man should be upright and a man who does great things should not be fussy about small matters. Be patient for a while and I will wipe them out!"

Of course, the Third Master knew about this and just wanted to vent his emotions.

But at this moment he remembered something very serious, "Meng'er, if Concubine Lin really wants to fake her pregnancy, she must not be allowed to be the queen."

Ningxu: "Why?"

Their plan at that time was to let the Bai family ascend to the throne as they wished and enjoy themselves for a few days. The bigger their ambitions were, the earlier they would take action, and Princess Lin could not wait that long.

Third Master: "It is a taboo to mess up the royal bloodline. I must eliminate any possibility of this happening. When Concubine Lin becomes the queen, the child in her belly will naturally be given the title of crown prince. This title can save Concubine Lin's life."

If the prince was taken as a bastard, his father would really come up and take him away.

Ningxu: "What I mean is, if she is just a concubine, the child will only be a prince, which is not a big deal."

Third Master: "Yes, the ceremony of crowning Concubine Lin cannot be allowed to proceed smoothly."

The Third Master had a serious expression. They had really gone too far this time. In Prime Minister Bai's opinion, his plan was going to work.

Ningxu comforted the Third Master, "It's okay, leave it to me."

The Third Master was a little surprised but a little uncertain, "Meng'er, what can you do?"

Ningxu looked mysterious, "You'll know when the time comes. Now... do you have to go back?"

Third Master: “Ah?”

Ningxu: "You have to lie back down before she wakes up. Otherwise, how will she know your reaction? She won't know if it's done. Otherwise, she will drug you again in the future."

The Third Master was completely discouraged. He looked out the window. It was still midnight.

Third Master: "I will go back when I attend the morning court. Meng'er, I will coax you to sleep!"

As he said that, the Third Master stood up and jumped onto Ningxu's bed, covering her with the quilt. "Come quickly."

Ningxu couldn't do anything about him, so she turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The Third Master calculated the time and was afraid of waking up Ningxu, so he sneaked back to the palace, returned to Concubine Lin's palace, and lay down again. This time he deliberately stayed away from Concubine Lin.

Early the next morning, a voice came from outside the door. It was Mr. He calling the Third Master to go to court.

The Third Master woke up, and Concubine Lin also pretended to wake up, with even less clothes on her.

Concubine Lin stood up, holding the quilt, revealing a hint of red on the bed sheet. She looked at the Third Master with a shy and affectionate face.

The Third Master looked calm. He said, "Take good care of your injuries," then stood up, put on his clothes and left.

Outside the door, Elder He looked at the Third Master anxiously, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

The Third Master shook his head and the two left.

Lin Fei was secretly delighted in the room, thinking that all the preparations she had made early in the morning were worth it. Lin Fei stroked her belly through the quilt and smiled, thinking that everything was going well.

Everyone's trajectory was proceeding as planned. The Queen Mother still disliked the Third Master during this period and rejected his greetings several times.

The Third Master was helpless and continued to attend the morning court and handle affairs as usual.

In order to ensure that the ceremony could go smoothly, Prime Minister Bai ordered his men to be extremely alert and not delay anything. He also sent people to guard outside the National Temple in advance, so that nothing could delay the ceremony, no matter how big it was.

Concubine Lin stayed in the harem peacefully, and gave instructions for everything carefully and cautiously.

Noble Lady Bai was jealous of Concubine Lin's position as queen in the palace, but she didn't have the courage to ruin Prime Minister Bai's plan. She could only chew her handkerchief silently in her room, hating why it was Bai Yilin who got the throne instead of her.

During the first few days when Master Mo attended court, he disliked Prime Minister Bai in every way. He directly opposed him and did not even look at him, and was in a bad mood.

But Ningxu was having a great time in the mansion and was happy every day, as if she didn't care about the matter at all. The elders of the Mo family became relieved and no longer insisted on the matter of the queen's title. Master Mo also stopped paying attention to Prime Minister Bai.

The officials in the court who wanted to see the fight between the two families could not join in the fun, so they dispersed and no longer paid attention to the relationship between Ningxu and the emperor.

I guess the king is fickle and will just be like that when he gets tired of playing.

In mid-April, the Yilin Palace finally had a festive look. Concubine Lin saw it, and although she felt sad, she felt that after all the hard work, there was a happy ending, and her future days would become more and more smooth.

Whether as the queen or the daughter of the Bai family, she has a way out on both sides.

At night, someone came and took the Phoenix Seal away for use in the grand ceremony tomorrow.

Concubine Lin's injury has completely healed. She tried on the phoenix robe in the palace. It was a bright yellow robe with a phoenix pattern. This was what she deserved!

At this time, Ningxu was lying in the second wife's yard, rocking in a rattan chair and eating snacks.

The Second Lady was drinking tea at the table. "Xu'er, there will be no chance of redemption tomorrow."

Ningxu: “Hmm?”

Second Madam: "She's crowned as the Queen!"

Ningxu suddenly stood up, "Tomorrow?!" She seemed to be looking forward to it. "That's pretty fast."

Second Madam: "Are you still so happy?"

Ningxu thought about it in her head. It seems that she has not yet decided how to appear tomorrow? No! She needs to practice it carefully.

He stood up and stuffed the snack into his mouth. His mouth was full and his words were not very clear. "Mom, I have something else to do. I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, she disappeared.

The second wife was still thinking that she could spend a leisurely afternoon with her daughter, but this child...she loses focus when it comes to serious matters.

Ningxu returned to her own courtyard, looked around quietly, closed the door, locked it nervously, made all the preparations, walked to the closet, took out the cloud feather robe that had been kept at the bottom of the box, and put it on with a domineering look. In the process, she also pulled the green jade pendant outside the clothes.

He stood up straight and said solemnly, "Today!..."

After saying just two words, she stood there awkwardly. Uh... She didn't know the rules of the ceremony, and she wasn't sure when she would appear...
