After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 168 Everything happens for a reason

Xuan Yelan saw through Qi Wuyou's thoughts and said, "It's not that we're just going to leave it alone, but we have to have a reason for what we're doing."

Qi Wuyou scratched his head after hearing this, and it took him a long time to react, "Wu Jin."

Xuan Yelan nodded and said with a smile, "Not too stupid."

Qi Wuyou rolled his eyes, "Even if she really did that, can she have a child?"

After all, her father was already over sixty years old, and Ye Jiu seemed to have drugged him.

Xuan Yelan spread his hands, "It could also be fake. With Ye Jiu, isn't anything possible?"

Qi Wuyou sat up straight, "Even if Ye Jiu has a way, how can he get close to Wu Jin?"

Xuan Yelan sighed upon hearing this, "Have you read Concubine Rou's letter carefully?"

Qi Wuyou pouted, "Of course, isn't it just that Wu Jin is always..."

At this point, Qi Wuyou paused, "She stays with Concubine Rou every day."

Xuan Yelan raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this the opportunity?"

Qi State.

This is the countless days that Wu Jin has stayed in Jingyang Palace since he entered the palace.

Wu Jin is almost going to live here, and if you don’t know them, you would think they know each other very well.

Concubine Li is now showing signs of being pregnant, with a slightly bulging belly, but because she usually wears loose clothes, it is hardly noticeable.

Ever since Qi Wuyou left, Concubine Li found an excuse to move in with Concubine Rou.

But she didn't expect that Wu State not only planned to send someone, but this person actually came to them all day long, making it impossible for them to say anything.

In fact, Wu Jin came here reluctantly. In her eyes, a peasant girl and a prostitute were not worthy of being with her.

But her mother insisted that she interact more with them.

It is said that they are trying to share in the good fortune and have a child.

But she has been in the palace for so long, and has been favored more than once or twice, but there has been no movement.

Wu Jin felt depressed when she thought about how she, a young girl, married an old man whose body was half buried in the ground.

God knows how long she has to prepare herself mentally to hold back from vomiting every time she goes to bed with him.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Concubine Li. She looked quite young. How could she bear it?

Concubine Li was happily enjoying the special meal prepared for her by Zui Xiang, when she suddenly felt someone was watching her.

When she turned around, she met Wu Jin's gaze. Wu Jin didn't expect her to turn around suddenly. He was startled and quickly looked away.

Concubine Li rolled her eyes and ignored her, calling Zui Xiang, "Zui Xiang, bring me another bun, with meat."

Zui Xiang was impatient. All day long, she did nothing but serve Concubine Li with food and drink.

"Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. Others can't eat, but you just open your mouth and beg for food every day."

"Other people can't even eat after retching all day, but you eat six meals a day."

Although she said so, Zui Xiang still went to get food for Concubine Li as soon as possible.

Ever since Concubine Li came, Zui Xiang had to go into the small kitchen no less than ten times a day.

After breakfast, Concubine Li would have morning tea, which included cakes and meat porridge.

After lunch, Concubine Li had to drink a bowl of bird's nest with meat buns.

Before going to bed, you need a midnight snack.

Hearing this, Concubine Li puffed out her stomach and said, "I can't help it. I'm hungry."

Zui Xiang rolled her eyes, walked out quickly, and came back after a while with a basket of dumplings.

"It's not time yet, and the small kitchen isn't ready yet, so use this as a cushion first."

Concubine Li took the steamed bun and said as she ate it, "It's okay, it's okay. Anything is fine."

Concubine Rou took a sip of tea and smiled when she saw this, "You are an honest child."

"I heard that the princess can no longer stand the smell of meat."

Concubine Li smiled proudly, "Of course, it doesn't matter whose child it is."

Zui Xiang snorted coldly, "Indeed, that is the normal reaction of the princess."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Concubine Li and said, "You are nothing like me, a foodie."

Wu Jin has long been accustomed to the way the three of them get along.

If her maid dared to speak to her like that, she would be skinned alive.

But Concubine Li didn't care and just followed Zuixiang with a smile. After all, she still had to rely on Zuixiang for her food.

Zui Xiang tried to pretend in front of Wu Jin at first, but after a few days, she became too lazy to pretend.

Wu Jin kept staring at Concubine Li's belly, touching his own belly from time to time, feeling secretly sad.

Seeing this, Concubine Rou remembered the secret letter Ye Jiu had given her and coughed softly, "What is Concubine Jin thinking? But I can't guess what she's thinking?"

That tea was specially given to her. While Wu Jin is favored in the past two days, she must drink the medicine quickly.

Wu Jin came back to his senses, raised his teacup, and took a sip, "No, it's just what I wanted."

Concubine Rou saw that she had drunk it and smiled. It seemed that it was almost time for lunch, so Concubine Jin should stay and have lunch!

Wu Jin was a little surprised when she heard this. This was the first time that Concubine Rou took the initiative to invite her to dinner. In the past, she had always been shameless enough to stay and eat for free.

After eating the dumplings, Concubine Li wiped her mouth and said, "Yes, stay and join us."

After saying that, she covered her lips and smiled, "I heard that today's lunch is fish porridge."

Wu Jin nodded when he heard that. That was good, so she wouldn't have to find a reason to stay and eat for free.

What's more, the fish porridge in Jingyang Palace is really delicious.

Concubine Rou smiled and nodded, then gave Zuixiang a look without any expression.

Zui Xiang understood and bowed, "Since Lady Jinpin is staying for dinner, I will go and ask the kitchen to add a few more dishes."

In fact, he wanted to add the medicine given by Ye Jiu into Wu Jin's meal.

Although they cooked together, only Concubine Rou and Wu Jin's porridge were cooked together, while Concubine Li's porridge was specially made by Ye Jiu.

The reason was simple. Concubine Li had no problem eating, but she would vomit when she smelled the medicine, and she couldn't drink even a single sip of the pregnancy-preserving medicine.

The imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau tried many methods to reduce the bitterness of the medicine as much as possible, but Concubine Li just couldn't drink it.

It was Ye Jiu who came up with an idea to add pregnancy-preserving medicine to Concubine Li's diet.

Therefore, Concubine Li would have a bowl of special fish porridge every day.

In order to avoid Wu Jin's suspicion, she added the fake pregnancy drug into the pot of porridge that she and Concubine Rou were cooking.

But Concubine Rou had taken the antidote in advance, so the only one who was faking pregnancy was Wu Jin.

As for the food for several people, there is naturally no problem with it.

Zui Xiang hadn't come back yet, but Qi Zi and Ye Jiu came.

"Princess, Prince Consort." Concubine Rou and Concubine Li saluted.

Although Wu Jin was reluctant, he had no choice but to follow suit and salute.

After completing the ceremony, Concubine Li naturally extended her hand in front of Ye Jiu.

Wu Jin didn't understand, because Ye Jiu always came when Wu Jin was not around.

He came today on purpose while Wu Jin was around, for no other reason than that he had to watch Wu Jin take the medicine.

In addition, Ye Jiu's treatment of Concubine Li was just a verbal order from Emperor Qi, so Wu Jin was not aware of it.

Ye Jiu also touched Concubine Li's wrist very familiarly.

Wu Jin's eyes widened and he immediately jumped up, "What are you doing?"

This man is too bold. How dare he seduce the emperor's concubine in front of so many people?
