Only then did Lan Yunyi know that the imperial concubine was actually pregnant. She widened her eyes and looked at the imperial concubine's belly with some curiosity.
The imperial concubine looked at Lan Yunyi's appearance, and the smile on her face gradually became real: "Do you want to touch him? Now there will be some movement occasionally, and by chance you can say hello to him."
Lan Yunyi smiled and nodded, then walked to the imperial concubine and squatted down, then gently touched her belly with curious eyes.
"When did this happen?"
"It's been three or four months and I still haven't shown my pregnancy. No one in this palace has told me." The imperial concubine lowered her eyes and looked at Lan Yunyi's little black head lying in her arms. Her cold beautiful eyes flashed in an instant.
Become as tender as water.
"When the critical period comes, I will come into the palace to take care of you and ensure that you can give birth to a healthy baby!" Lan Yunyi raised her head and smiled at her.
The imperial concubine's eyes slowly returned to their original state. She subconsciously ignored the topic and spoke to Lan Yunyi with a smile.
"When it comes to babies... His Highness Prince Yu is a good man. Even if you don't believe anyone, you should believe in His Highness Prince Yu. He will take care of you."
Yan Yinxiao never attended gatherings in the palace, and he didn't come today either.
Lan Yunyi didn't know that the imperial concubine would suddenly talk about him, so she thought she was talking about her marriage years ago, and she blinked in embarrassment.
"I know he is a very nice person. When we get married, you must come to Prince Yu's Mansion to watch the ceremony and give me face, just like today."
The imperial concubine smiled gently again and did not answer.
Lan Yunyi always felt that the imperial concubine's eyes seemed to be able to speak, and there were thousands of words hidden in them. It was clear that this did not exist before, and she did not know when it became like this.
The urging voice coming from the nuns outside probably meant that the emperor's chariot had arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, and the banquet was about to begin.
So the imperial concubine rubbed Lan Yunyi's head: "The banquet is about to start. Yunyi, please go out first, and then call the nuns outside to come in and help me change my clothes. I will go later."
Lan Yunyi listened, stood up and nodded, then leaned down and held the hand of the imperial concubine sitting on the couch.
"My Lady, if you encounter anything or have any thoughts, you can call me into the palace and let me accompany you."
Her tone was extremely solemn, and her bunny-like eyes were still shining with water.
"Even if there is nothing to do, I still want to see you in the palace to chat. You are so lovable..." The imperial concubine couldn't hold back and touched Lan Yunyi's head.
Then there was another knock, neither light nor heavy: "Okay, get out quickly!"
Lan Yunyi shrank her neck in pain, rubbed her head again, and went out to call her grandma in.
The imperial concubine looked at Lan Yunyi's back as she went out, her cold and soft hands caressing her belly again and again, her gentle eyes full of determination.
And a little bit of sadness.
"I will protect you like I protect my own child."
The imperial concubine stared at the nothingness in front of her eyes, and she didn't know what she thought of, so she said softly.
————————————————
Because of the temporary imperial edict, Lan Yunyi's seat was moved up several levels, and she was arranged to sit next to Princess Chaoyang.
The emperor took the imperial concubine's hand and slowly sat down, and everyone saluted. Just as everyone stood up, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra slowly sounded.
The emperor glanced at Lan Yunyi casually at first, then randomly turned his eyes in the direction of the Mongolian envoy, and said with a smile: "Guests from afar, are you used to eating and drinking in Qiguo?"
The envoy from Mongolia was a prince of the Mongolian tribe, named Dabagan. He was a strong man with a sinewy face and a muscular back. He was also wearing pointed cowhide boots. He looked like he was over thirty years old.
.
Hearing the emperor's question, he led a group of people to the middle of the hall, while Princess Yuancheng and Lord Yasai, who had met Lan Yunyi, followed behind him.
Behind them were a large number of translators and attendants, among whom there were also a few familiar faces that Lan Yunyi recognized, probably from the last time he went to the Ningxiang Pavilion.
Because Lin Yu had been in contact with Princess Yuancheng for half a stick of incense at the Ningxiang Pavilion, Princess Yuancheng's behavior and the people around her at this moment became the focus of Lan Yunyi's attention.
Princess Yuancheng might just be a pure victim, or she might have noticed anything strange about Lin Yu during that half-stick period.
While Lan Yunyi was staring at the people in Mongolia, the Mongolian prince spoke to the emperor.
"Thanks to the care of Emperor Qi Guo, Qi State is vast and rich in resources, and Emperor Qi Guo is warm and hospitable. It is simply a geomantic treasure land, which makes Dabaragan feel flattered."
Dabaragan's words pleased the emperor to a great extent, and the emperor burst out laughing after hearing the translator's translation.
"If the prince likes Qi Guo, he can stay here for a longer time, and I will provide him with good wine and good service!"
After the exchange, Dabaragan presented tributes from Mongolia, mostly pearls, agates and gold and silver products. When the emperor saw these tributes, he smiled even happier on the surface.
Lan Yunyi carefully looked at everyone standing in the middle of the hall. Some of them were too thick, some were too thin, and some were too thin. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that there was something wrong with everyone.
I still need to find opportunities to try it out.
She clicked her tongue lightly, supported her chin with her hands, and looked at them carefully again.
Dabaragan's words sounded again at this moment.
"Not only Dabaragan, but also the distinguished Princess Yuancheng of Mongolia likes Qiguo very much. Not only that, she also made new friends in Qiguo and hopes to play horse racing with Princess Changning of Qiguo.
ball!"
new friend?
Lan Yunyi recalled Princess Yuancheng who was a pariah in Ningxiang Pavilion. She didn't expect that someone like Princess Yuancheng could make new friends in Qiguo?
"I wonder if Princess Changning would be willing to reward Yuan Cheng as a favor and complete a polo match together after the banquet, so as to increase the relationship between Qi Guo and Mongolia?"
The more I heard the name Princess Changning, the more familiar it seemed.
Lan Yunyi pursed her lips and thought seriously.
Princess Changning can play with her for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries. She can really be regarded as a national hero who sacrificed his life for the country.
But looking at Princess Yuancheng's fierce and ferocious appearance, she said she wanted to play polo, but maybe she wanted to kick people like balls.
"I wonder what Princess Changning thinks?"
Dabaragan continued to speak, but no one in the hall stood up to answer.
Lan Yunyi looked at Princess Yuancheng's muscular arms and legs, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for the familiar Princess Changning.
I silently lit three candles for Princess Changning.
But before Lan Yunyi could mourn silently in her heart for a long time, she felt all the eyes around her shooting in her direction.
Lan Yunyi:?
She seemed to suddenly remember something extraordinary.
