After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Qi Zi seemed to have lost all his strength and retreated uncontrollably.

Ye Jiu was quick to act and supported Qi Zi. The moment they touched, Ye Jiu felt Qi Zi's body shaking violently.

It seemed that even though she had no hope for this mother, she still couldn't accept this fact.

Ye Jiu didn't say anything and accompanied Qi Zi silently.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Zi sighed and asked in a hoarse voice, "How many months?"

Ye Jiu replied, "Less than two months."

Qi Zi looked at Ye Jiu and asked again, "Did you prescribe abortion pills for her?"

Ye Jiu shook his head. "It's a medicine that will make her bleed a little and make her think the baby is gone."

The moment he felt the pregnant pulse, Ye Jiu made a decision. On Emperor Qi's birthday half a month later, he must make things clear and nail Concubine Yin to death.

Ye Jiu was silent for a while, "I'm sorry."

Qi Zi knew what he meant, "You don't have to say sorry, your position is there, I understand it all."

Qi Zi looked at Ye Jiu steadily, "Does what you said before still count?"

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and smiled broadly, "Of course it counts."

Qi Zi also smiled back at him.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xuan Yelan and Qi Wuyou were also ready to show up.

When Emperor Qi received Xuan Yelan's letter, he was still lying in Meiji's arms. It took him a long time to react before he hurriedly sent He Yun out of the city to greet him.

Of course, this was all an illusion. Xuan Yelan and Qi Wuyou just sneaked out of the city and joined up with the guards sent by Lu Yu later.

Kyoto, outside the city gate.

Xuan Yelan and Qi Wuyou sat in the carriage and were greeted by the ministers of the court.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I hope you are well. I am waiting for you both to enter the capital."

"Lord He, long time no see." Xuan Yelan nodded.

The two met politely but distantly, and there was nothing wrong at all.

After entering the city, people lined the streets to welcome her, just like when Ai Wuyou got married.

It was even worse than before. The people blocked the roads and it was extremely difficult for carriages to move.

"The princess is back, long live the princess!"

"Princess Chitose!"

……

Qi Wuyou opened the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the simple faces outside. Her eyes were sore. She just moved to a different place to enjoy a good life without suffering any hardship, yet they were so grateful to her.

The journey from the city gate to the post station, which should have taken one hour, actually took three hours.

Qi Wuyou and Xuan Yelan were fine; they were sitting in the carriage and their clothes were not messy.

But the guards following behind were not so good, as they were almost torn down by the group of common people.

He insisted on stuffing something into their hands, saying it was a gift for their queen.

It was not a good idea to accept or not accept this thing. They didn't dare to force it on the Empress, so they used it to hold her back.

As for the ministers of Qi, except He Yun, they had all been dispersed long ago.

Qi Wuyou looked at the people behind him whose faces were covered with chicken feathers, duck feathers, etc. It was a horrible sight. There was even someone carrying a lamb.

Alas, the eyes of the masses are sharp, and their enthusiasm is hard to resist.

Ye Ba came over carrying half a bag of biscuits, looking worried, "You were so enthusiastic when you came here, won't you go crazy when we leave?"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of bread. It was just an ordinary coarse grain cake, but upon closer inspection, white flour was added into it.

Ye Bayou noticed that the person who delivered the gift was a young woman holding a child. Her clothes were all patched up. It seemed that the cake was the only thing she could offer.

Qi Wuyou reached out for a piece, tasted it, and found it a bit sore to the throat, but it tasted good and was still hot.

She used to eat such pancakes often when she was in the orphanage, but the cook would always secretly put some minced meat in them.

He Yun was considerate of being outside, so he didn't get too close and left after a short while. Before leaving, he told Xuan Yelan that the Emperor of Qi would host a banquet to entertain the envoys tomorrow.

Qi Wuyou's first reaction after hearing this was that he didn't want to go. He pinched the pancake and tugged at Xuan Yelan's sleeve, "Do I have to go to the banquet tomorrow, too?"

Xuan Yelan nodded, "You are the Queen of Xuan State and the Princess of Qi State, so you must be present tomorrow."

Qi Wuyou curled her lips. Doesn't that mean she would have to wear a very heavy dress and a very heavy phoenix crown again?

"Besides," Xuan Yelan looked at Qi Wuyou and smiled, "There might be acquaintances tomorrow. Aren't you curious?"

Qi Wuyou frowned and thought for a while, "Acquaintance? Who?" Who could she be familiar with? She had just arrived in this world for a few days when she set off for marriage and stayed in the palace all day in Xuan State.

Don’t even mention the old emperor, don’t even mention her, even if it’s the original owner, the number of times he’s seen her can be counted on one hand.

Xuan Yelan smiled and rubbed Qi Wuyou's head. "Guess who the envoy from Wu is?"

Qi Wuyou looked at Xuan Yelan, who seemed to be enjoying the fun, and asked, "Could it be that pair of brainless siblings?"

Xuan Yelan nodded, "How smart."

Qi Wuyou thought of the brother and sister's actions and couldn't help asking, "Are they also here to be maids?"

Xuan Yelan nodded seriously, "It's possible."

Then he added, "Maybe the target this time is not the palace, but..." Xuan Yelan glanced at Qi Wuyou, and Qi Wuyou immediately understood.

"The Fourth Prince's Mansion." They said in unison.

Qi Wuyou was speechless, "Why don't these two have brains? Is it genetic?"

She asked Xuan Yelan, "Are their parents also stupid?"

Xuan Yelan shook his head. He did not deal with the State of Wu because this country was far away, had a small territory, and was poor. There was no need to attack it.

Qi Wuyou shrugged indifferently, broke off a piece of biscuit and threw it into his mouth, "It doesn't matter, we are here to watch a play anyway. It doesn't matter whether we watch a play or a monkey, we just want to have fun."

Xuan Yelan had already noticed what Qi Wuyou was holding, "What is this?"

He has lived in the palace since he was a child. Although he had a miserable life in his previous life, he also ate rotten and moldy steamed buns.

As for this life, he was adopted by the Queen Mother early on and became the legitimate son. He lived a life of luxury every day. How could he not have seen cakes?

"It's the cake that ordinary poor people eat. Someone just gave it to me," Qi Wuyou broke off a piece for him.

Xuan Yelan took it, tasted it, and nodded, "It tastes good. What is it made of?"

"Corn is ground with a millstone, added with flour, and steamed, and it becomes like this." Qi Wuyou looked at the pancake thoughtfully.

Seeing Qi Wuyou in a daze, Xuan Yelan raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about?"

Qi Wuyou came back to his senses, "I'm thinking about how to increase the yield of corn."

Xuan Yelan became more excited. Now the main source of food for the people is corn. It would be great if the output of corn could be increased.

Qi Wuyou nodded, "I have some ideas, wait for me to go back and think about it carefully."

Xuan Yelan was so excited, "Okay, don't worry, take your time to think about it."

In his opinion, since Qi Wuyou said he had an idea, then it must be possible.
