After sitting at the banquet, the Crown Princess made a rare move and asked the palace servants to pour her wine.

"It is just the time when King Xuan and Princess Xuan return to Beijing. It should be a happy event. My daughter-in-law should pay respect to her father first. I believe this year's Chinese New Year will be very lively..." The Crown Princess said as she paid respect to the emperor first.

Then came King Xuan and the four princesses... No one was left behind, and they all seemed polite and distant to everyone.

The princess was the first to get drunk.

"Hel her back." Emperor Liang De ordered.

The palace man stepped forward in response, and the Crown Princess buried her head in the palace man's arm, her eyes scanning Xue Qingyin and Prince Xuan through the gap... She didn't close her eyes until she was helped out of the hall.

Xue Qingyin didn't expect that the Crown Princess would stay in the palace for so long... She thought she should have gone back to Yangzhou long ago.

Xue Qingyin did not show any doubt or concern, and only asked: "Why don't you see Princess Jinque?"

Emperor Liang De said: "On the fiefdom."

Xue Qingyin nodded. It seemed that she listened to what she said to Princess Jinque and did not spend any more time in the capital.

Emperor Liang De smiled and said: "You still remember to ask about her... Speaking of which, she should also be the matchmaker between you and King Xuan."

Xue Qingyin nodded: "Yes, if we hadn't met at the princess's house, what would have happened later. It's a pity that the princess went to the fiefdom, otherwise, if we met now, she, a great matchmaker, should have given her a good life before she was born.

My nephew should give me a big red envelope."

Emperor Liang De: "..." You can't say anything without the benefits, right?

After the fourth princess heard this conversation, she felt as if she was being bitten by an ant while sitting nearby.

She wished Xue Qingyin would also ask her.

But she also knew in her heart that Xue Qingyin couldn't ask.

While Xue Qingyin was talking, she looked at Qiao Xinyu again: "Is Concubine Qiao... giving birth?"

Qiao Xinyu nodded with a dull face, fearing that the close relationship between the two would be revealed.

Xue Qingyin didn't ask again.

Now that Qiao Xinyu's child was born safely, Prince Wei's palace should have fallen under her control. Liu Yuerong completely lost power.

Xue Qingyin sighed, thinking that the meal was tasteless... With Emperor Liang De here, he would not speak casually.

Emperor Liang De asked: "Why are you sighing? Who has wronged you again?"

Xue Qingyin said coyly: "Don't you think that I still have some days to go through?"

Emperor Liang De asked: "You are still vomiting?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "It's better. But there are still other problems."

It would be better if we didn't have this child. Emperor Liang De thought.

But the words cannot be spoken.

Xue Qingyin took a few bites and then left the palace to see Xu Zhi.

Emperor Liang De also felt that the meal was tasteless, far less harmonious and relaxed than before.

He immediately ordered a few imperial guards to accompany Xue Qingyin out of the palace.

"Don't stay out too late. I won't send anyone to pick you up if you encounter palace restrictions when you come back." Emperor Liang De confessed.

Xue Qingyin responded: "I know, I know."

At first glance, they really look like father and daughter.

The others had no chance to interrupt, so they could only watch Xue Qingyin and King Xuan go away with caution and restraint.

Stepping out of the palace gate, Xue Qingyin walked very slowly. She and King Xuan walked side by side, whispering in their ears: "Did you really take me with you last night?"

King Xuan: "Gone."

Xue Qingyin wondered: "Then why do I have no memory at all?" She raised her hand and patted her head: "Are you really pregnant for three years?"

"You are sleeping deeply." King Xuan grabbed her hand to prevent her from patting himself again.

"Why don't you wake me up?"

"Yinyin, you have to know that as long as I take you with me, it will be enough to make them angry."

Xue Qingyin smacked her lips: "Really? Am I so hated?"

"It's not to make people hate you... They will be jealous, they will be jealous that I have you."

Xue Qingyin suddenly became speechless and her ears felt a little burning. Is she so good?

They then rode out of the palace gate in a sedan, where a new soft sedan was already waiting.

The imperial guard walked over, lifted up the soft sedan, and said to Xue Qingyin: "Princess, please."

Xue Qingyin said: "Remember to walk around the city."

The guard's mouth twitched, but he still obeyed the order: "Yes."

Xue Qingyin thought to herself that it was one thing to break up with the emperor, but it would not affect her at all in continuing to use the emperor's influence to let people in the capital know that she, Princess Xuan, was still walking sideways.

From a distance, the concierge of the Xu family saw the majestic group approaching.

The concierge thought he was here to arrest someone, and said quickly: "Quick, go find the master and my aunt!"

Seeing their panic, Xue Qingyin reluctantly stuck her head out: "Look, don't you recognize them?"

The concierge stayed there for a long time, and then said in a voiceless voice: "Cousin!"

As soon as these words came out.

Xu Qi and others also came out.

"Oh! My eldest niece!" Xu Qi burst into tears, "You, you are back!"

Xu Qi was not afraid of anything at all.

At this time, King Xuan drove his horse forward.

Everyone in the Xu family was even more shocked when they saw him, and they quickly knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to His Highness King Xuan."

Xu Zhi stepped forward, her eyes filled with tears.

She watched King Xuan get off his horse and carefully took her daughter off the sedan.

When Xue Qingyin stood firm, everyone saw her bulging belly.

Xu Zhi's nose felt sour and she cursed: "What are you doing when you come back with your body like this? If there is something bad or bad on your way..."

Xue Qingyin's eyes turned red and she said, "Someone forced me to come back."

Xu Zhi was shocked when she heard this. Could it be that the emperor forced her back?

Then you can't say this outside! This silly boy!

Xu Zhi couldn't care about anything else, stepped forward, grabbed Xue Qingyin's hand, and led her inside.

Xu Qi went to entertain King Xuan tremblingly.

Xu Qi also muttered: "Your Highness really shouldn't have brought the princess back. I don't know if the one in the capital is suffering from bone steaming disease... Fortunately, no one in our family has contracted the disease."

As he spoke, he was startled and looked at the person following King Xuan: "Who is this?"

"Royal doctor."

Xu Qi was puzzled: "None of us are sick, why did Your Highness bring the imperial doctor here?"

"It will come in handy." King Xuan said concisely and in a cold tone.

This time Xu Zhi took Xue Qingyin to her courtyard.

Xue Qingyin turned her head and stepped back, then took out the letter He Songning had written to her.

After much thought, she realized that Xu Zhi's situation was really an unsolvable problem.

She is indeed not Xu Zhi's daughter...

She is just an outsider who is greedy for Xu Zhi's maternal love...

Strictly speaking, there is indeed no difference between her and He Songning.

But things have to be dealt with wherever they are.

Just like the maggot on the tarsal bone, no matter how painful it is, you have to dig it out of the wound. After that, whether you live or die, you have to leave it to fate.

"Auntie, please take a look." Xue Qingyin handed it over with both hands.

Xu Zhi took it and asked doubtfully: "Huh? Show me what this is for?... It seems to be your elder brother's handwriting."

Xue Qingyin slowly clenched her fingers and her breathing became slow.

I did a lot of mental construction along the way, but when I got there, I still felt like I couldn't breathe.

Nothing...nothing...this is the most appropriate time.

She is pregnant, and her mother-in-law would be reluctant to be so angry with her...right?

Xue Qingyin's vision blurred for a moment.
