Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 21 The Poor Little One in the Palace Fighting Novel (21)
Shi Qing arrived late. She was wearing a concubine's palace dress and had a beautiful face, just like Rong Ji when she was young.
In addition to Pei Xingzhou, the man standing in the hall had a pair of heterochromia eyes but was extremely handsome. He must be her uncle, the Khitan King Helian.
She supported her pregnant belly, stood up, bowed gracefully, and saluted Pei Xingzhou, "Your Highness, I greet you."
Then he bowed deeply to Helian and said, "Qingqing greets uncle."
Pei Xingzhou stood up and helped Shi Qing up, then glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice.
"My beloved concubine must have something to say to my uncle. I have official business to attend to, so I will not disturb you."
After saying that, Pei Xingzhou helped Shi Qing to the couch, ordered Liu'er to serve Shi Qing carefully, and took Xiao Xuanzi to the Golden Palace.
Helian looked at the graceful Shi Qing and said with emotion.
"Your mother was always worried about you being bullied, so she reminded your uncle to come to the capital to see you. Look at your hair covered in pearls and jade, and even the brocade you wear is worth a thousand gold pieces. The emperor treats you with great affection and loyalty, right?"
Shi Qing Furong's face was flushed, and her smile was as bright as a peach blossom.
"Uncle, the Emperor treats me very well. When Shi Huanyun plotted to have me sleep with him, it was the Emperor who gave me the position. He is a very good husband. Uncle, please don't dislike him."
Outside the palace, the emperor, who had been eavesdropping in the corner, raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard these words. It seemed that Qingqing had him in her heart after all.
His expression was no longer as cold as before, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare a midnight snack and send it to my uncle and Concubine Chen later. Don't neglect my uncle."
The young eunuch serving Pei Xingzhou replied respectfully, "Yes, I understand."
In the palace, Helian was lost in thought. "Qingqing, your mother has returned to Khitan. She misses you very much. I wonder if you will stay in the capital or leave with me..."
Shi Qing stroked her belly and said, "Uncle, Qingqing is pregnant. I am the Emperor's Imperial Consort and cannot leave the palace. Besides, the Emperor treats me very well. Qingqing is willing to stay."
Helian also had a plan in mind. He originally wanted to negotiate with Emperor Yong'an and pay a small price to take Qingqing away. Now it seems that Qingqing is unwilling to leave.
If this is the case, he can only discuss it carefully with Emperor Yong'an and make plans for Qingqing.
The Shi family has fallen, and Shi Qing has no backing.
Perhaps, she could use her Khitan princess's identity to become a royal concubine in the Southern Kingdom's harem, and even if she became the queen in the future, no one in the world would dare to criticize her.
However, the position of empress also depends on Emperor Yong'an's opinion. No matter what, he will naturally not let Qingqing suffer any grievances with him around.
After the two finished their conversation, a palace maid brought in a midnight snack outside the Yangxin Palace, saying that it was arranged by the emperor.
Shi Qing felt relieved. Pei Xingzhou was acting steadily. Seeing that his uncle Helian's expression had improved, he must have approved of Pei Xingzhou.
She casually ate two bites of snacks and put down her bowl and chopsticks. After the meal was over, Helian left Rong Ji's letter home and said slowly as he left.
"Qingqing, your uncle and mother have left you a way out. As long as you are willing, your uncle will take you back to Khitan at any time."
Shi Qing was very touched, "Thank you, uncle."
That night, Helian left the palace, but his original idea of letting Shi Qing fake his death to escape was gone. He planned to leave some dowry for Shi Qing, so that Shi Qing would at least have a way out.
After Helian left, Shi Qing returned to Changle Palace. As a pregnant woman, she was a little overwhelmed by the whole night's troubles, but the biggest crisis in the palace was resolved.
She lay on the chaise longue and fell into a deep sleep, not even noticing when Pei Xingzhou returned to the palace.
Pei Xingzhou sat on the soft stool, stroked Shi Qing's cheek with his palm, and spoke in a low and gentle voice.
"My dear, you must be a gift from God to me."
The emperor, who was usually stern and serious, had a slight smile on his face at this moment, as if he never had to be too reserved in front of Shi Qing.
He reached out and stroked Shi Qing's lower abdomen, and spoke in a very pleasant voice.
"My son, you must be good and don't make your mother suffer, otherwise I will not forgive you when you are born."
After saying that, he stood up and kissed Shi Qing on the cheek.
The girl's face was rosy and pink, and she looked very cute. She had almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and a slightly pouty mouth, which couldn't be cuter.
Pei Xingzhou took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his lapel. In the bedroom where candlelight flickered, he was seen writing on the imperial edict with an extremely serious expression, as if he was explaining something.
After finishing writing the imperial edict, he solemnly handed it to his most trusted shadow guard.
"After I am gone, everything will be subject to my imperial decree and the imperial seal. Even if anyone in the court attempts to overthrow me, the Empress and eldest son of our Southern Dynasty will only be Shi Qing and her unborn child."
The shadow guard had followed Emperor Yong'an for many years. After hearing these words, he felt a little sad and quickly retorted.
"Your Majesty, you are in your prime, and it is natural for you to make arrangements at court. How could you leave such an important matter to the Imperial Concubine? She loves you so much, how could she accept this..."
Pei Xingzhou paused slightly, then looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and after a long time he found his voice.
"Man proposes, God disposes. My body is already at the end of its strength, and I don't have much time left. I want to accompany her. You just need to remember my arrangements, and there is no need to say anything else."
The shadow guard didn't dare to refute, so he could only say respectfully, "Yes, I understand."
After the shadow guard left, Pei Xingzhou took off his bright yellow robe and slept overnight in Changle Palace.
Helian stayed in the capital for only two days. When he left, he left a document, in which he gave the most important city in Khitan to Shi Qing as his dowry.
He left the attendant he valued most in the capital to protect Shi Qing's safety. As long as Khitan was safe, she would always be the princess of Khitan.
This is also the sincerity of Khitan.
When Helian was in Khitan, someone secretly asked him to seize power. As long as Shi Qing gave birth to a prince, he would use a trick to make Emperor Yong'an die unexpectedly.
The young emperor is the easiest to control, and all plans are under control.
However, Helian rejected his confidant's proposal and at the same time, punished him for his crime. He and Rong Ji were twins, a boy and a girl, and they grew up fighting for power.
During the years that Rong Ji was exploited by others, he felt only self-blame in his heart. If it weren't for his negligence, his sister would not have been exploited.
Rongji's intelligence should have made her worthy of the most heroic man on the grassland, instead of being trapped in the backyard of the capital for half her life.
Shi Qing wanted Rong Ji to enter the palace. How could he bear to use his only niece, who was his only relative? He would naturally govern Khitan well and make it Shi Qing's most powerful backing.
The Shi family was facing a catastrophe. In order to prevent Shi Qing from being criticized by the world, Emperor Yong'an deliberately concealed Shi Qing's life experience. However, even so, he was still suspected by some people.
Some court officials even thought that the Shi family was plotting a rebellion and that Concubine Chen must have been involved, so they asked Emperor Yong'an to punish Shi Qing.
Shi Qing's life experience became known to everyone at this time, and it was also Emperor Yong'an who intentionally revealed it.
It turns out that Concubine Chen was not a humble concubine of the Shi family, but a little princess of the Khitan who was raised in pampered condition since childhood.
