The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Ning Yi went to the Queen to pay New Year's greetings again.

If we talk about Ning Yi's attachment to the palace, it is definitely the Queen's place that he remembers the most.

As soon as he entered Kunning Palace and was informed by the palace maids, he entered the main hall.

What surprised him was that the queen was behind the screen and did not show up at all.

Ning Yi was puzzled and took the initiative to salute: "Your son wishes the Queen a happy new year and long life."

Behind the screen, a woman can be vaguely seen sitting on a chair, motionless.

An old palace maid came over and said calmly, "Sixth Prince, the Queen has been unwell recently. Your New Year's greetings have been received by the Queen. Please go back first."

Ning Yi frowned in confusion. This shouldn't be the case.

He felt that maybe one of the queen's relatives had come.

But even if relatives come, it is impossible not to even see them.

He thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report and would like to discuss it with you."

But behind the screen, Dongfang Qing's lazy voice came: "I don't want to hear anything now. If there is anything, go to the emperor to report it."

This completely confused Ning Yi. What's wrong with this woman?

I, your man, came here specifically to see you. We haven’t seen each other for so long. Don’t you miss me?

You always complained to me that I didn't come to the palace to see you.

Why don’t you want to meet me now?

Of course, as a prince, it is only natural for him to come and pay New Year's greetings to the queen during the New Year.

Not only him, but also several other princes and princesses will come to pay New Year's greetings.

After all, Dongfang Qing is the queen of a country. If anyone does not come to pay New Year's greetings, it would be disrespectful to etiquette.

The old palace maid said, "Sixth Prince, please go back and don't disturb the Queen's recuperation."

Ning Yi was depressed and really wanted to leave.

But there are some things he must figure out.

In this palace, the queen has always been under his control.

Using threats and emotional bondage, how could he allow this woman not to meet him?

Ning Yi seriously suspected that Dongfang Qing probably saw that the old emperor was full of energy again recently.

There is no hope that the old emperor will die, and maybe he has lost interest in following him. This is not a good thing.

Ning Yi had no choice but to continue, "Empress, please give me a chance to meet you and explain myself. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain myself."

The old maid was getting impatient: "Sixth Prince, how could you do this? Are you trying to force the Empress?"

Ning Yi quite disliked this old palace maid.

He said calmly, "This prince just wants to meet the Empress once. How can this be considered coercion?"

"You are framing this prince."

The old palace maid was also unhappy. If it were normal times, she would naturally hide when meeting the Sixth Prince.

After all, he was almost crippled by the Sixth Prince last time.

But now she is an important servant of the Queen.

His temper was very good: "Sixth Prince, if the Emperor knew that you had disturbed the Empress's meditation, you would be severely punished."

Seeing that this old palace maid kept stopping him, Ning Yi became very angry.

He was about to lose his temper, thinking, she was just an old palace maid, he could deal with her at any time. He didn't believe that Dongfang Qing would dare to turn against him for such an old woman.

At this time, Dongfang Qing, who was behind the screen, finally said, "Grandma Zhang, please go out first."

Old Madam Zhang, the old palace maid, looked over worriedly and said, "Empress, your health is very important now. You can't worry about other things anymore. You need to rest well."

"I understand. You can go out first." Dongfang Qing's words revealed a serious and unquestionable attitude.

Old Madam Zhang had no choice but to retreat and leave, closing the door behind her.

She also always thought that every time the Queen and the Sixth Prince met alone, it was actually to talk about the Dongfang family.

Because the first time they met was because of the issue of the Queen's nephew.

Moreover, she knew that Dongfang Qing later wrote letters to her hometown, asking the Dongfang family to do business with the Sixth Prince.

Now the Sixth Prince is the commander-in-chief of Hushan Pass, and it is said that he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command.

He also has a close relationship with the Dongfang family outside the palace, and this time he should also discuss it with the Queen Mother.

A woman, especially an old maid in the palace, can probably only think of this much.

Ning Yi finally walked around the screen and snorted coldly, "Empress, you are really arrogant now. It's so difficult for this prince to see you once."

"Do you think this prince is unimportant now?"

……

But when Ning Yi saw her officially, he was stunned for a moment.

Dongfang Qing was seen sitting lazily on a big chair, wearing heavy clothes.

His hair was simply combed, and his handsome face looked a little fatter.

However, her beautiful eyes were full of temptation. She looked at Ning Yi who was walking towards her calmly, and finally said, "Go on, keep talking."

Ning Yi stared at her bulging belly in a daze.

I can't believe it. Just looking at this belly, it looks like it's been several months old for at least.

Ning Yi walked quickly to her and looked down at her: "How many months?"

Dongfang Qing rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, "Do you still care about me?"

"Isn't that nonsense?" Ning Yi stood in front of her anxiously: "Tell me, how many months has it been?"

Dongfang Qing felt a little warmer in her heart when she saw his anxious look.

Finally, he lowered his head and muttered, "Seven months."

Ning Yi quickly calculated the time and found that it was the time when he was old and was having an affair with the Queen.

However, Ning Yi immediately thought something was wrong and frowned, "I'm suddenly pregnant again, will the old emperor not be suspicious?"

"Tell me, did he take advantage of me again?"

"You bastard." Dongfang Qing glared at him angrily. "Wu Lingyun, you bastard, you lecher, how dare you slander me like this? Get out of here!"

This kind of words really slanders her.

I am already so advanced in age and it is very inconvenient.

I was looking forward to this heartless and unfaithful man coming back, but in order to prevent any accidents, I could only endure it, watch him through the screen, and then let him leave to avoid distraction.

But seeing that Ning Yi refused to leave, she couldn't help but look at him.

But when they met, he didn't care about her at all, but instead slandered her.

As the high and mighty First Queen of the Great Wu Kingdom, she helped this bastard get pregnant. Now she is being spoken ill of in such a way, it would be strange if she is happy.

Seeing her getting angry, Ning Yi helplessly held her little hand.

But Dongfang Qing was angry and wanted to pull him out.

Ning Yi gently advised: "Qing'er, you are my woman. I don't want any man to touch you. Naturally, I am anxious and nervous."

These words were indeed very damaging to Dongfang Qing who was in the deep palace.

Dongfang Qing looked at him aggrievedly: "Then you doubt me."

"I'm just scared." Ning Yi held her in his arms and explained patiently, "I'm afraid that old man will bully you again. If that happens, I'll cry to death."

With Ning Yi's comfort, Dongfang Qing also saw his care and concern.

Finally, she couldn't help but mutter in his arms with red eyes: "I wasn't touched by him."
