The family dinner at the Winter Solstice was attended only by the Queen Mother Qiao, Song Wang Liu Ying, Qiao Jing, Lin Long, Xiao Yi and Qiao Jing’s three-year-old son Liu. This was Xiao Yi’s first time to attend the monthly family dinner held by the Queen Mother, and it was her first time.

This was the first time she met the powerful and ruthless Queen Mother Qiao, and it was also the first time in ten years that she stepped into the Jinghe Palace where her grandma lived. All the furnishings in the Jinghe Palace were like nothing she had ever seen before.

The memories of laughter and laughter have also been wiped away.

Every day when greeting her, she was turned away by the Queen Mother. Different maids around the Queen Mother would say the same thing to her every day: "Ms. Xiao was ill a few days ago, so it is better to go back to rest, and there is no need to meet the Queen Mother to greet her."

"But she still came to Jinghe Hall every morning to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. In Lin Long's words, "You should treat it as a daily walk to maintain your pregnancy and move your muscles and bones."

In order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Yi and Lin Long only met once when they returned the rainbow bead earrings. At this time at the family banquet, they sat next to each other and smiled at each other. Lin Long was already petite and skinny. It has been cold recently, and she

Wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, there was no hint that she was pregnant. Xiao Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for her.

Liu's biological mother, Qiao Jing, has been frequently visiting Xiao Yi's Suhua Palace recently. Ever since Xiao Yi and Lin Long met, Qiao Jing knew that Xiao Yi no longer used illness as an excuse to refuse guests behind closed doors. She had long been curious about this

The subjugated princess of the Qi Kingdom appeared out of nowhere. She had also heard some poems and articles in the market, describing the subjugated princess as a nine-day fairy. Naturally, she wanted to go and see the excitement.

But she never expected that the subjugated princess was actually the pretty tea maid in Yongtai Palace that day. She asked her directly how she changed from a tea maid to a princess of Qi, or how she changed from a princess of Qi to a princess.

Xiao Yi just smiled and said nothing more than saying: "I am a slave of a subjugated country. To be able to serve tea to the king is a great favor to the Queen Mother, the king and Beauty Qiao."

Qiao Jing's curiosity, jealousy and anger at the beginning gradually turned into helplessness and indifference. After all, Xiao Yi has always been polite to her. No matter how she provoked and questioned, Xiao Yi dealt with it indifferently, always telling the truth and lies.

He expressed his appreciation, praise and gratitude to her so much that she gradually lost her temper. At this time, she looked up and down at the subjugated princess and felt that she was not as unreachable as described in the poem. She was just a person.

She's just a groveling, courteous tea maid.

Three-year-old Liu looked curiously at the bride sitting next to Lady Lin and asked her mother: "Concubine, that aunt is so beautiful. Is she the bride of my father?"

Qiao Jing said helplessly: "Yes, she is the princess of Qi State, her name is Xiao Yi. You want to call her Empress Xiao."

Liu was puzzled: "Qi State? Wasn't Qi State destroyed by my grandfather?"

Qiao Jing said: "The Kingdom of Qi is destroyed. She is the princess who lost her country, the last bloodline of the Qi royal family."

Liu was even more puzzled: "Then weren't Empress Xiao's parents killed by my father's father? How could she be willing to marry my father?"

Qiao Jing just didn't know how to answer. Xiao Yi looked at the ignorant child and saw that he had bright eyes and chubby cheeks, and he was looking at her innocently. Xiao Yi felt that the child was really good-looking, and the childish look on his face was so charming.

It was very similar to the longing Liu Ying had when he looked at her. Xiao Yi smiled and waved to him: "Son, come to Empress Xiao."

Qiao Jing suddenly became nervous and looked at her distant aunt, the Queen Mother Qiao. The Queen Mother nodded slightly and acquiesced. Only then did Qiao Jing relax a little. She expected that in full view of everyone, the king was at the table again, so polite and considerate.

Meiren Xiao did not dare to do anything to her child, so she let go of Liu Yixiu and asked him to run to Empress Xiao and Empress Lin.

Lin Long smiled and patted Liu's shoulder and said: "Son, although Empress Xiao is the princess of Qi, she has also received favors from our King, the Queen Mother and your mother. Rather than letting her live among the people alone, it is useless.

If you have no one to rely on, it is better to marry into the palace and give you another sister."

When Liu heard the word "sister", his eyes widened immediately and he asked Xiao Yi: "Can Empress Xiao give Liu Sheng a sister?"

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded. Liu Ying saw it from a distance and couldn't believe that Xiao Yi could show a smile in front of him. He didn't know what Lin Long said to Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi did turn herself into

He got a harem beauty with good manners, which also made his life between Qiao and Xiao Yi much easier.

Qiao Jing snorted and said, "Who knows if he is a younger brother or a younger sister? Does the ninth princess of Chu have the medical skills to rejuvenate her body, or does she have the power to predict the future?"

Lin Long couldn't help but feel funny when he saw that Qiao Jing didn't dare to lose her temper directly to Xiao Yi, but pointed the finger at herself. It seemed that Qiao Jing didn't have the strength to hit the cotton at Xiao Yi's place. Lin Long smiled and said: "Of course it's half

Relying on foresight, half of rejuvenation depends on skillful hands."

Xiao Yi sang and asked: "Sister Lin, what does this mean?"

Lin Long said: "Foretelling means that half of the child in your belly may be a boy and half of it is a girl. Rejuvenation means that if it is a boy, it may die in mid-life, so the half of the child who was a boy before is only half.

It has become impossible. In this case, it can only be a sister."

Liu looked at Lin Long blankly, and then at Xiao Yi blankly.

Before the Queen Mother could get angry, Liu Ying said angrily: "Ms. Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Long said with a playful smile: "Please forgive me the Queen Mother and the King, and please don't mind Sister Xiao. I'm used to playing tricks in Chu State, and I talk nonsense when I open my mouth. Even my father and mother can't control me. But I'm here

It was heard in the Chu Kingdom that all the young masters who succeeded to the throne in the Song Kingdom were single seedlings. When his grandfather, King Wu of Song, ascended the throne, he was the only living son of King Xiao of Song, and when the king ascended the throne, he was also the only living son of King Wu of Song. In this way,

Who knows, when my son ascends the throne, he will be the king's only living son."

Liu Ying slammed the table and said angrily: "How outrageous! Lin Meiren, do you know that you are no longer the ninth princess of the Chu Kingdom but the Lin Meiren in my harem of the Song Dynasty? You are so bold and arrogant, slandering the ancestors and disturbing people's hearts. How can I, the king,

I can’t control you anymore? Come here, imprison this unruly and unscrupulous Lin Long in the Jinxiu Garden for one year!”

Xiao Yi begged: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Sister Lin must have done it unintentionally."

Liu Ying was even more angry: "Xiao Yi! She has cursed your child, and you still speak for her? She gave you a look at her priceless rainbow beads, and you just defended her like this? Summoned the harem, Lin Meiren

She is banned from the Jinxiu Garden for one year. Within that year, no one is allowed to visit her! This matter is not allowed to be reported to the Chu State! Anyone who talks too much in the harem will be punished with severe punishment!"

Lin Long was taken down by An Tai. Before leaving, he turned back and blinked at Liu Ying, as if to say: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering our bet."

Liu Ying glanced at Lin Long speechlessly. She didn't know what kind of tricks this quirky Princess of Chu was playing. How could she turn the frustrated Xiao Yi into a well-mannered and well-mannered princess overnight?

Why did he order the beauty of the harem to be honored after winning the bet, and she was banned from visiting for a year?
