Chapter 41 Return to the Palace Step by Step (Second Update)

When returning, Xiao Yuanqi specially went to take a look at the "South-to-North Water Diversion" strategy proposed a few years ago. Then arrived in Xijing City at the end of the month. This trip took more than a month. Fortunately, there was nothing serious in the court, which reassured Xiao Yuanqi a lot.

When the team arrived at the imperial city, the civil and military officials led by the prime minister came to welcome the holy driver.

"Welcome long live my emperor." Wang Chu and Chen Xun were dressed in red robes and stood respectfully in front of the gate. Xiao Yuanqi's Luan was opened by the palace people on both sides, and Xiao Yuanqi, who changed into a dragon robe, was in high spirits.

"All of you are in peace."

With the support of everyone, the team slowly entered the imperial city and entered the inner city. Wang Shu led Dong Keying, who had been pregnant for more than three months, and the rest of the concubines.

Xiao Yuanqi came forward to avoid Dong Keying's salute. Dong Keying's face was stunned, and then looked left and right of Xiao Yuanqi in a panic. When he saw Shen Sirong, there was a helpless smile on the corners of his mouth.

Shen Sirong remembers Dong Keying's behavior in his heart, but his face is not flawed at all.

"Cough...cough..." Shen Sirong coughed gently. Xiao Yuanqi frowned and immediately called Shen Sirong back to Yongqing Palace.

The palace is well-in-in-chief, and he has long known that Shen Sirong was injured in order to save the emperor. In order to cater to the holy will, both the concubine and the palace people pay special attention to this noble concubine.

Shen Sirong was not polite. Although she tried her best to walk slowly along the way, it still made her a little unsistful.

That night, a banquet rose in the palace. The courtiers were in the front hall and the concubines were in the apse. Xiao Yuanqi chatted with the courtiers in the front hall and then retreated to the back hall. The long-awaited concubines are full of joy, and I don't know who can get the first luck of the king's return tonight.

"Sister Li, what's wrong with this dish?"

Wang Shu seemed to have firmly grasped the internal affairs of the harem during this period. Shen Sirong did not say a word during the banquet. If she didn't look at the seat clothes, I'm afraid she would think that Wang Shu was the master of the harem.

Wang Shuben and Li Jingwan are from the same boat, but when Li Jingwan no longer deserves her attention, she will not show mercy. Isn't it just right to stand up for her?

However, at this critical time, neither Xiao Yuanqi nor Shen Sirong will care about her. On the contrary, the more Wang Shu is, the more comfortable they will be.

Li Jingwan was asked by Wang Shu, and her shoulders shrank unconsciously, which was very different from the arrogance of the past.

"No, no."

What Li Jingwan doesn't know is that the more she shows weakness in this cannibal place, the more she has no place to stand. Her weak words aroused a lot of heart to add fuel to the fire.

Is that right? That's right. My sister just had a funeral. I'm afraid she's not in the mood. Zhang Yufang, who was beside her, had a rare opportunity to suppress this high-ranking beauty. How could she let go of the opportunity?

Seeing that Xiao Yuanqi was not blamed, the rest of the people mocked Li Jingwan unscrupulously. Li Jingwan, who has always been spoiled, could not stand this anger. She almost got up and quarreled with others, and Shen Sirong's words recalled her mind. She looked at Xiao Yuanqi, who was embarrassed and felt a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is a little tired." Shen Sirong saw the movements clearly. If Li Jingwan couldn't help it, she was afraid that there would be no place to turn over.

Xiao Yuanqi put down the ivory jade chopsticks: "I'll send you back."

After saying that, he left in the eyes of everyone's sadness or jealousy.

The next day, Shen Sirong sent Hanmei to send some exquisite snacks to the Cold Hall to Wan Ying. She thought about getting better and then went to see her in person.

And Yongqing Palace is not quiet. Wu Wanqing and Liu Ran met her later. Wu Wanqing is now more and more obedient to her. Compared with Liu Ran, she is much more estranged.

It seems that when you go out, the wind in the palace has been divided into two factions.

However, a man disguised himself as a palace maid came to Yongqing Palace, which surprised Shen Sirong. This person is not someone else, but Dong Keying, who is pregnant with dragons.

"I have met the noble sister." A palace woman bowed in front of Shen Sirong and called "sister noble concubine", which made Shen Sirong know the identity of the visitor. The woman slowly raised her head, which was clearly Dong Keying. Looking up, Hanmei, who knew the inside story, had already sent out a palace person in the hall, and Shen Sirong was relieved.

Shen Sirong raised his hand and said, "Sister Dong, sit down. You have a body, but you can't be careless." The tea cup on the table was picked up by Dong Keying. She took a slight sip, but in fact, she didn't drink it.

This is the woman in the palace, especially when she is pregnant, and she dares not eat in other people's palace at will for fear of accidents.

Shen Sirong's smile tightened Dong Keying's throat. She couldn't wait for Shen Sirong's question for a long time, so she had to stand up and kneel down again.

"I told you that you don't have to say goodbye to my sister." Shen Sirong has never got up to pull her. He must not have the intention of harming others and the intention of preventing others. If she gets close, it's easy to get into trouble.

"If the Empress doesn't agree, I will never get up." Dong Keying changed her impression of gentleness and generousness. At this moment, her dignified face was depicted with profound firmness, which moved Shen Sirong. She exchanged her left and right hands and pressed them for a while, and Shen Sirong finally answered.

"Sister, let's talk about it first. If I agree but can't do it, won't I become a trustworthy person?" As soon as Shen Sirong opened his mouth, Dong Keying's firmness broke into pieces, like a plate of scattered sand, and replaced by deep panic and... fear.

"What are you afraid of?" The other party never opened his mouth, and Shen Sirong said Dong Keying's thoughts questionably.

"Help me, help me." Dong Keying's sudden crying gushed out, making Shen Sirong's heart tremble.

"Sister, get up and speak slowly."

Dong Keying stood up tremblingly. She held the stool and sat down: "I came today to rely on my sister. I don't know if my sister is willing to accept my stupid sister."

"Why does the beauty suddenly want to come to this palace? You don't have to go around the circle. I like to speak bluntly.

Shen Sirong stroked his forehead and waited for Dong Keying to say.

"To tell you the truth, Wang's concubine has taken care of me in these days, but it's just because the emperor asked me to deliver it to her, but now that the emperor is back and there is no one to protect me, I'm afraid there will be no time for the child in my belly."

"The emperor will protect you. You can rest assured." Shen Sirong comforted him.

"No." Hearing that Shen Sirong had the intention to shirk, Dong Keying said hurriedly, "Sister, don't panic. I shouldn't have said anything bad about anyone, but every time I see their look when they look at my stomach, I..."

Shen Sirong listened to what Dong Keying said and had a plan in his mind. Anyway, it was Xiao Yuanqi's child.

She smiled and agreed, but the smile was very bitter...
