Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

The next moment, the pavilion's curtains were lifted, and Yue Zeyuan stepped in.

Yue Zeyuan's arrival was sudden, catching Yue Zerui off guard. He was startled and stood up abruptly, bowing and greeting Yue Zeyuan.

"Brother Royal."

When Yue Zeyuan saw Qi Ning and Yue Zerui in the pavilion, his expression immediately turned cold.

"Why are you here?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I was just passing by and happened to meet Your Majesty's wife."

Yue Zerui grinned and tried to brush it off with jokes.

He dared to ask Qi Ning those questions, but he would never dare to ask Yue Zeyuan.

"Really?" Yue Zeyuan looked at him. "If it was a chance encounter, what are you doing here?"

Moreover, it was just the two of them talking inside, while Yulan stood guard outside.

Although there was only a curtain separating them, it was still inappropriate.

Yue Zerui explained, "It's like this, just now the Empress Dowager felt dizzy and almost fell, so I sent someone to fetch the imperial physician for her."

He kept referring to her as his sister-in-law, and then mentioned that Qi Ning was unwell and almost fell, before Yue Zeyuan finally looked at Qi Ning.

He frowned and walked over to Qi Ning: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qi Ning shook her head: "It's nothing, I was just a little dizzy, but I feel much better now."

Just then, the eunuch Yue Zerui sent out arrived with the imperial physician.

Yue Zerui breathed a sigh of relief.

Only after seeing the imperial physician did Yue Zeyuan believe Yue Zerui's explanation.

He immediately ordered the imperial physician to examine Qi Ning's pulse.

Yue Zeyuan glanced at Yue Zerui, who was still standing to the side, and seeing that his gaze seemed to be fixed on Qi Ning, he said in an unhappy tone, "What are you still doing here?"

Yue Zerui immediately looked away: "Your Majesty, then I shall take my leave."

Yue Zeyuan waved his hand, signaling him to hurry up and leave.

Yue Zerui then left with his men.

Even after he left, Yue Zeyuan's expression remained unchanged. However, since the imperial physician was examining Qi Ning's pulse, he didn't say anything.

However, judging from Qi Ning's natural and composed expression, it was clear that nothing had happened just now.

But Yue Zeyuan still felt uneasy.

After a while, the imperial physician withdrew his hand from taking Qi Ning's pulse.

"How is the Empress?" Yue Zeyuan asked immediately.

The imperial physician knelt down with a smile and offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress! Your Majesty is pregnant!"

Qi Ning wasn't particularly surprised by these words, as she was confident in her health.

But Yue Zeyuan froze after hearing the imperial physician's words.

"What did you say? The Empress is pregnant?"

"Indeed," the imperial physician replied. "Her Majesty the Empress is about a month along with the imperial heir."

"it is good!"

Yue Zeyuan's cold expression vanished instantly.

He smiled and took Qi Ning's hand: "Ning'er, that's wonderful, we have a child."

Qi Ning snorted lightly: "I told you, let nature take its course, what's meant to be will be."

Yue Zeyuan still believed that this was the result of his hard work over the past few days, but now that Qi Ning was pregnant, he naturally went along with whatever she said.

"Yes, you are right."

Upon learning that Qi Ning was pregnant, Yue Zeyuan treated her like an even more precious treasure, saying it was too cold outside and quickly taking her back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Yue Zeyuan held Qi Ning in his arms and sat on the couch, stroking her lower abdomen, his gaze fixed on her belly.

Seeing Yue Zeyuan's expression, Qi Ning found it somewhat amusing: "So what if you're pregnant? Are you that happy?"

Yue Zeyuan looked up at Qi Ning: "Of course I'm happy."

At this point, Yue Zeyuan calmed down a little from the joy of learning that Qi Ning was pregnant and remembered what had happened in the pavilion earlier.

What were you and Yue Zerui talking about in the pavilion just now?

Qi Ning knew he would ask.

She had no guilty conscience at all and told Yue Zeyuan everything that had happened in the pavilion.

“…That’s it.”

After hearing this, Yue Zeyuan snorted coldly: "That seventh brother!"

Prince Rui was the seventh son in his family.

After a moment, Yue Zeyuan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "I originally did not want to hold a talent show, but now it seems that holding one is not impossible."

"what?"

Qi Ning glared at Yue Zeyuan.

Yue Zeyuan smiled and kissed Qi Ning's cheek: "That's not what I meant."

Qi Ning had served as a spy for Yue Zeyuan in the State of Chu for many years, and he also contributed to Yue Zeyuan's strategy and assistance in conquering the State of Chu.

With these two merits, coupled with Yue Zeyuan's favor towards her, her position as empress was as secure as could be, and even the noble families of Yue dared not object to it.

Even if Yue Zeyuan didn't participate in the talent show for Qi Ning's sake, they didn't dare to say anything.

However, after conquering the Chu Kingdom, the noble families of Chu had their own agendas. In order to curry favor with Yue Zeyuan, they wanted to send women into the palace.

The matter that the adults had just discussed with Yue Zeyuan was about the talent show, but Yue Zeyuan flatly refused.

Who knew that when Yue Zeyuan returned, he would run into Yue Zerui and Qi Ning talking in the pavilion.

At that moment, he changed his mind.

"Since those people want to curry favor with me, and it just so happens that Prince Heng loves beautiful women, and Prince Rui is also of marriageable age, why don't we let them choose a few?"

Yue Zeyuan rubbed Qi Ning's hand: "Originally, the selection of concubines should have been handled by you, the Empress, but now that you are pregnant, you cannot do such a thing. I will personally arrange the marriage for Prince Rui."

As he said this, a strange light flashed in Yue Zeyuan's eyes.

Qi Ning could tell at a glance that Prince Rui was probably going to be in trouble.

Sure enough, a few months later, Prince Rui was personally betrothed by Yue Zeyuan. Not long after the marriage, he would frequently enter the palace to complain that Princess Rui was a shrew who had assaulted him, and demand that Yue Zeyuan grant them a divorce.

Yue Zeyuan ignored this and told him to figure out a solution himself.

He's busy; Qi Ning is about to give birth, so he doesn't have time to meddle in other people's business.

Prince Rui regretted his actions, realizing he had been tricked by his elder brother, the Emperor.

At the end of that year, Qi Ning gave birth to a prince.

Emperor Yue Zeyuan was overjoyed and named the child Yue Zhen, who was then made crown prince when the child was a month old.

When His Highness the Crown Prince was two years old, Qi Ning gave birth to another princess, whom Yue Zeyuan named Yue Li, and he doted on the little princess even more.

With Yue Zhen and Yue Li as his children, Yue Zeyuan was completely content. Every day, besides being busy with state affairs, he spent his time with Qi Ning and the two children.

But Yue Zerui's life wasn't so easy. He had been married for several years, but he still often had fights with his princess.

That day, Yue Zerui stormed into the palace again, wanting to find Yue Zeyuan and demand an explanation.

"This time, I must persuade my elder brother to issue an edict for me to divorce that woman. I simply cannot bear it any longer!"

Unexpectedly, when passing through the Imperial Garden, Yue Zerui happened to run into Yue Zhen and Yue Li, who were playing there.

The two little ones ran towards Yue Zerui as soon as they saw him.

"Seventh Imperial Uncle!"

Yue Zerui paused, then quickly stopped to catch Yue Li, who was running towards him.

"Your Highness, be careful, don't fall!"

Yue Li, only three years old, nestled in Yue Zerui's arms, giggling and acting coquettishly: "Uncle, have you come to the palace to see Father again?"
