King Yu couldn't help being taken aback: "Uncle?"

Concubine Qi nodded: "Yes, Li Xiao and I had a marriage contract, but it was just a verbal agreement between your grandfather and Mr. Wen at that time. For official career, he chose to leave Kyoto to travel around the world. The two families decided to cancel the engagement after discussion. In order not to damage the relationship between the two families, your grandfather recognized Li Xiao as his adopted son, which means that he is my elder brother, that is, your uncle."

He said these words with tears in his eyes many years ago, in order to prevent the marriage contract between them from being used by others to criticize her one day. For so many years, she recalled the scenes of the previous separation in her heart all the time. Those pains were like tarsal maggots, tormenting her day and night. She thought that she would be numb from the pain when they met again, but unexpectedly, they were defeated all at once.

King Yu looked at the deep pain in Concubine Qi's eyes, and knew in his heart that this would never be the case, but for the sake of the reputation of his mother and concubine, he could only follow the trend: "Jun Yu has seen Uncle."

Wen Lixiao turned his head slightly following the voice: "Your Highness, you don't need to be too polite, because I left in a hurry when I left the capital, and I haven't returned for many years, and no one knows about the relationship with my adoptive father. We met in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare a gift, so please don't mind your Highness."

"Uncle is too polite."

King Ling frowned suddenly, and stared at Wen Lixiao: "You have to think about something before you say it!" This man had clearly agreed to him before, would admit that he had an affair with Concubine Qi, and would help him with Concubine Qi was destroyed, but unexpectedly, she suddenly changed her mind!

Wen Lixiao turned his head away: "His Royal Highness, thank you for bringing the grass people into the palace so that I can meet my righteous sister."

"You..." King Ling turned his head to look at the emperor on the throne, and quickly saluted and said, "Father, it was Wen Lixiao who took the initiative to find his son, saying that he had an affair with Concubine Qi. A marriage contract was made, but Concubine Qi loves vanity, concealed this marriage, and entered the palace to become your concubine. She had a relationship with Wen Lixiao before..."

"Jun Ling, have you had enough trouble!" The emperor's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of disappointment. He knew that King Ling had never been very smart, but he didn't expect him to be so stupid. Is this New Year's banquet good for him? Moreover, there is still an envoy from Northern Xinjiang present today. Doesn't he know how to cherish the dignity of the royal family?

King Ling's expression froze suddenly: "Father, son..."

"I already knew what happened before Noble Concubine Qi entered the palace. Duke Wei also told me that you should step back."

"Father..."

"Back off!" the emperor sneered coldly, his eyes were commanding.

King Ling gritted his teeth and stepped back unwillingly.

Concubine Qi's body was stiff, and she didn't dare to raise her head to see the emperor's expression: "Brother Li Xiao, since you have returned to Beijing, go home and have a look..."

"No need," Wen Lixiao shook his head. Although he couldn't see, he still pointed in the direction of Concubine Qi persistently. "I am terminally ill and I am near the end of my life. This time I came here mainly to see righteousness." Sister's last side."

Concubine Qi bit her teeth tightly, her mouth smelled bloody: "Brother Li Xiao..."

Wen Lixiao bent down and hugged the guqin on the table in his arms: "The wish is already made, and I don't have to regret it from now on." This guqin was chosen and bought by the two of them together. Unexpectedly, once she entered the palace as a concubine, this guqin would become his only consolation for many years, accompanying him through most of the Dali dynasty in the dark.

Concubine Qi slowly held back her tears, and looked deeply at the man in front of her eyes. She hadn't seen him for many years, and he was no longer the handsome man he used to be. The elegant and inclusive atmosphere of being alone has never changed: "Brother, have a good journey."

"Okay." Wen Lixiao turned around, and immediately a maid came to lead the way.

King Ling's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Wen Lixiao with a look of ruthlessness, how dare this man lie to him! And father, why does he trust Concubine Qi so much? Doesn't he have the slightest doubt in his heart? Is he the only one who does everything wrong?

Seeing him like this, Li Qingzhou hastily gestured with his eyes that the emperor was already very angry, and he must not speak out to provoke him at this time.

Mu Yunyao watched quietly, and suddenly saw Princess Yu beckoning to her, she couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Concubine Yu felt relieved, and helped Concubine Qi go to her seat: "Concubine Mother, since uncle has returned to the capital, there is still a chance to meet again in the future, you... um..."

Princess Yu was speaking, and suddenly clutched her chest and retched.

Concubine Qi looked over quickly: "Fanghua, what's wrong with you?"

"Mother, I'm fine...uh..."

Mu Yunyao stepped forward, stretched out her hand to hold Princess Yu's wrist, and after a short pause, a bright smile appeared on her face: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to His Royal Highness, Princess Yu is happy, according to the pulse condition, It should be almost two months."

King Yu was stunned, and suddenly became ecstatic: "You are happy? You are happy! I am going to be a father!" From grief to ecstasy, King Yu didn't know what to do with the expression on his face. My princess picked it up and turned around a few times.

The emperor was in a displeased mood, but when he heard the news, his expression gradually became more relaxed: he had already regarded King Yu as the next prince in his heart, and now that he has an heir, it can be said that he has a successor, which is naturally a happy event: "Okay, Concubine Yu has meritorious service, reward!"

As soon as the emperor's words came out, there were bursts of congratulations all around, and the unhappiness just now was overturned in the blink of an eye. Only the hatred in King Ling's heart was stronger, and he swept across King Yu and Princess Yu with a gloomy look, with a deep chill in his eyes.

The emperor's mood improved, seeing the pleasing smile on Mu Yunyao's face, his tone became a little more relaxed: "Yao'er, why didn't I see you give me a congratulatory gift?"

Mu Yunyao blinked, smiling brightly and warming people's hearts: "Reporting to the emperor, just now I was fascinated by the congratulatory gifts presented by the princes, and I feel that my presents are a bit too much to give."

"If you say that, it shows that you didn't prepare carefully. I will definitely take a good look at it. If you are not satisfied, I will definitely punish you."

"Grandmother..." Mu Yunyao quickly looked at Elder Princess Yide with a look of grievance.

Princess Yide immediately felt distressed: "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to punish us Yao'er. She spent a lot of time preparing a gift for you. Even I was amazed when I saw it."

"Oh? Yao'er, hurry up and present the gift." The emperor felt a little more curious, which made his imperial sister say she was amazing, which showed that the gift was extraordinary.
