Li Qitian nodded expressionlessly, but his hands gripped the hem of his robe under the table.
This Pang Zhixi really wouldn't let him live peacefully in any way!
When he didn't have a son, Pang Zhixi had a twin first. It wasn't easy for the heavens to open their eyes and let Pang Zhixi lose his son, but now his wife had another? Pang Zhixi didn't have any concubines, only this one woman. He had three palaces and six courtyards, but he still only had one eldest son.
He wasn't much older than Pang Zhixi, so why couldn't he do it?
"Order people to secretly protect the Prince Zhongshun's consort." Li Qitian ordered in a deep voice.
The Spies naturally understood Li Qitian's meaning. After following the Emperor for so long, they had seen a lot of things in the dark. How could they not know the Emperor's fear and jealousy of the Prince Zhongshun? Although it was said to be protection, they all understood what this "protection" meant. It was fine as long as they didn't lose track of the person.
"As you wish." The Spies cupped their hands and bowed, then quickly retreated.
Li Qitian rubbed between his eyebrows tiredly. Looking at the booklets on the table, he only felt annoyed.
He simply stood up and walked out.
"Let's go to Kunning Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty will go to Kunning Palace!" Xiong Jinshui shouted and quickly followed behind Li Qitian.
It was almost lunchtime, and the Empress was playing with the eldest son.
"Hao 'er, come, come to mother." The empress had a loving smile on her face. She shook the rattle drum in her hand. The small red drum shook twice. Two red coral beads fell on the surface of the drum with lotuses drawn on it. It caused the children in red to giggle and stumble forward.
Li Qitian entered and saw this scene. When he learned that Pang Xiao's woman was pregnant, his jealousy reached its peak.
"Your Majesty." When the Empress saw Li Qitian, she hurriedly curtsied.
The wet nurse also hurried forward to support Brother Hao. The child's charmingly naive body also bowed to Li Qitian and called out in a childish voice, "Daddy!"
Only then did Li Qitian reveal a slight smile.
The Empress hurriedly hugged her son, "Hao ge 'er, you have to call Imperial Father. Come, say this son greets Imperial Father."
The child blinked his big eyes and looked up at Li Qitian. He squatted down again obediently. "Ercheng, please greet Father Hua."
The child's voice was soft and obedient. Coupled with his unclear pronunciation, Li Qitian burst into laughter. She bent down and held Hao Ge 'er's armpits to pick him up.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Empress secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. Your Majesty's appearance when he entered the door scared her so much that she almost wanted to ask the wet nurse to quickly send her son away so that he would not be frightened. Fortunately, she did not do so.

Qin Yining's journey to Golden Harbor was very smooth. Because she had come here more than once, she was familiar with the road. This time, she was going to Golden Harbor on the same road as the previous disaster relief. Therefore, whenever Qin Yining showed her face, the people she met were all extremely respectful and grateful to her.
At this time, it was already the time when spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. Except for the men who had followed Pang Xiao to join the army, the common people in various places had started to cultivate intensively. In addition, they were rebuilding their homes. So, the scenery they encountered along the way was filled with a thriving atmosphere.
The more Qin Yining walked, the more relaxed she felt. Even the matter of handling the food was more skillful. With Xie Yue present, she often only needed to give a general idea and Xie Yue would be able to arrange it properly. Qin Yining really did not need to work too hard.
"Wang Fei, Golden Harbor City is up ahead." Bing Tang lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out the window with a smile. Everywhere she saw was green, "Along the way, everywhere is full of vitality. Wang Ye's disaster relief efforts were really not in vain. "
Qin Yining had a preserved sour plum in her mouth and a small bump on her cheek. Hearing this, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "That's right. We met many familiar faces along the way. Back then, we were so hungry that we were just skin and bones. Now, we are much better. If the heavens favor us and give us a stable year, everyone will recover in less than three years. "
"That's right. All of this is thanks to Wang Ye." Ji Yun also smiled.
They arrived at the city gate smoothly and saw a small group of people standing not far away. The person in the lead was dressed in a dark green robe with narrow sleeves and a white jade buckle around his waist. His hair was neatly tied up at the top of his head. His handsome features carried some vicissitudes and tiredness, but it did not diminish his elegance at all.
"It's Boss Qiu." Bing Tang frowned. "She's waiting here. Could it be that she knows that our team is about to arrive?"
Ji Yun's expression became serious and she looked inquiringly at Qin Yining. "Wang Fei, do you want to see her? I keep feeling that she's up to no good. "
Qin Yining was a little hesitant, but he nodded and said, "Our standpoints are different. It's human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Although she's quite calculative, she didn't really hurt us. Moreover, whether she wants to avenge her grandfather or not is her own choice. It has nothing to do with us. She's Mu gongzi's wife, so it's better not to make things too stiff. "
"Then you must be careful. We're now out of Wang Ye's protection, and the four-way number is everywhere. I'm afraid that if she's up to no good, we won't be able to deal with it." Ji Yun couldn't help but stroke the soft sword wrapped around her waist, as if she was thinking about what angle she should choose to attack if Qiu Feishan wanted to harm Qin Yining.
Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh at her serious appearance. "No, she and Wang Ye have common interests now. She still hopes that Wang Ye will defeat Lu Heng so that the Qiu family can be completely stabilized. Even if she's scheming, it's a matter for the future. "
As he spoke, the carriage stopped in front of Qiu Feishan.
Qin Yining lifted the curtain and met Qiu Feishan's eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "Boss Qiu, why are you waiting here?"
Qiu Feishan saw that Qin Yining was amiable and didn't directly make her lose face like Pang Xiao, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wangfei." Qiu Feishan cupped her hands and said with a smile, "I heard that you came here, so I've been waiting here."
"You heard?" Qin Yining raised an eyebrow and asked.
Qiu Feishan smiled and said, "Wangfei is a smart person. Naturally, you know where I heard it from."
"Naturally, I still know the ability of the Qiu family."
Qin Yining knew that Qiu Feishan was inadvertently showing the strength of the Qiu family to him, so that their cooperation would look more attractive.
After all, the Qiu family also had a complicated relationship in the court. In the past, when the Lu family didn't make any mistakes, the reclusive families should act in a low-key manner according to the ancestral teachings. So the people trained by the Qiu family only appeared when the Lu family completely fell.
But now, many officials in the court had inextricable ties with the Qiu family. She was indirectly telling him that now that Pang Xiao was fighting in the front line, there was a time when the Qiu family was needed.
Qiu Feishan raised the corner of her lips, "It's refreshing to talk with a smart person like wangfei. There's no need to waste time explaining. Wangfei suddenly came here, so you must have not bought a house or a field. I have prepared a house with two courtyards. The location is excellent. It's not remote, and it's not too noisy. It's most suitable for wangfei's elegant temperament. I wonder if wangfei is willing to go? "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "To be honest, I have ordered people to prepare a house first, but I still thank boss Qiu for her kindness."
Qiu Feishan was a little disappointed, "It seems that wangfei is the same as Wang Ye, still angry."
"No, boss Qiu misunderstood. It's just that I bought a house, so there's no need for boss Qiu to spend money. As for Wang Ye, he's not angry. The person who's really angry is Mu gongzi. After all, we're all outsiders. Everyone has their own standpoints. You didn't directly harm me and Wang Ye, so why should we be angry? "
Although this was the truth, for Qiu Feishan, it was the most painful. She wanted to share a box with Pang Xiao, but whether Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were angry or not, she didn't care at all. She always cared about Mu Jinghu.
If she knew that Mu Jinghu would have such a big reaction, she would have thought of a more careful way to not let him find out.
Qiu Feishan sighed, "As a wangfei, I feel more and more uneasy."
Qin Yining looked around, then smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk. If boss Qiu doesn't mind, you can get on the carriage and come with me to see the new house."
Qiu Feishan was surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect Qin Yining to take the initiative to invite her, so she hurried forward.
Bing Tang and Ji Yun looked at each other, then looked at Qin Yining questioningly.
After all, the space in the carriage was limited, and the master wanted to talk business. If they didn't leave, it would be unreasonable. But they didn't want to leave Qin Yining's safety to Qiu Feishan.
Bing Tang got off the carriage. Ji Yun ignored Qin Yining's signal and refused to get off. She just tried to sit in front of the door, giving her seat to Qiu Feishan who just got on the carriage.
Qiu Feishan saw that Qin Yining's maid refused to leave, so she smiled and didn't care. But when she saw Qin Yining's slightly bulging belly, she couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
"Wangfei is pregnant again?"
Qin Yining was wearing a pea green robe. This robe was made after she gave birth to Zhao Ge 'er and Han Ge' er. At that time, she was more plump. Now that she wore it, the rest of her body was much looser. Only the belly was just right. She sat in the carriage all day and liked to wear such loose and soft material. Her hair was simply tied up with a ribbon, looking very casual.
So her pregnancy was very obvious at this time.
"Yes, it's been more than four months. If not, I would have followed Wang Ye to the battlefield. But Wang Ye didn't allow it. He insisted that I come to Jin Gang to nurture the baby."
Qiu Feishan couldn't help but sigh with envy, "Wangfei is really lucky."
She originally had no feelings for children, but now that she had Yan Ge 'er, although she still had to run Si Tong Shop, she had already divided her attention to the children. She also wanted to have a few more children, but unfortunately, Mu Jinghu was determined to not accept her anymore.
Qin Yining saw Qiu Feishan's sad expression and said softly, "Boss Qiu, I have something to say. It's from the perspective of a friend, and also from the perspective of a woman. I don't know if you're willing to listen to me."
Qiu Feishan nodded, "Wangfei, please speak. I'm all ears."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Boss Qiu is a smart woman. You're very capable. Many men can't compare to you. You're in the business world and have a superior status. You've also developed a lot of pride and principles. These are all understandable. But Boss Qiu seems to have misjudged the human heart. Especially a man who is equally outstanding and full of pride.
