Concubine Allure: Pick up a prince and grab the country

Chapter 243 Chapter 274
It turned out that she herself would have made a mistake, so she smiled awkwardly.

"No, of course there is no problem."

Yan Qingcheng lowered his eyes, quietly sipping his own tea, with an inaudible sarcasm floating on the corner of his lips.

A moment later, a pregnant woman with a pregnant belly in a concubine's palace dress came over one after another accompanied by a maid.

Yan Qingcheng raised his eyes and took a careful look at the concubine's feet. As he followed the feet all the way up to the other's protruding belly, the corners of his lips curled up into an inexplicable arc.

After the concubine entered the pavilion, she knelt down to salute Chu Xun and Bai Guifei.

"The concubine has seen His Majesty and the Concubine."

Bai Guifei raised her hand to the concubine and said with a smile:

"My sister is pregnant, get up quickly."

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am."

After the concubine got up, she sat down with the help of the maid.

Concubine Bai looked at Yan Qingcheng, smiled and said:

"Princess, this is Wu Jieyu. She is pregnant with Liujia and will give birth next month. Do you know whether she is pregnant with a prince or a princess?"

Yan Qingcheng met Bai Guifei's probing gaze, and replied neither overbearing nor humble:
"Go back to your mother, the servant girl doesn't know."

A strange look flashed in Bai Guifei's eyes. She turned her eyes and glanced at Chu Xun. Chu Xun was sipping tea. Half of his face was hidden behind the teacup. His expression could not be seen clearly. Bai Guifei had no choice but to ask:
"Can't you predict the future?"

Yan Qingcheng immediately understood that the emperor announcing her here today presumably wanted to use the words of Concubine Bai to test herself, whether she had the ability to predict the future and change fate against the sky.

She smiled lightly and bowed her head.

"Back to your mother, the courtiers are not gods."

Concubine Bai narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about the truth of Yan Qingcheng's words.

After a while, she glanced at Wu Jieyu lightly, and said with compassion:

"The supervisor of the Qin Tianjian made a fortune for the child in Wu Jieyu's womb, saying that the child in Wu Jieyu's womb was destined to be evil, and would be incompatible with His Majesty's horoscope. The disaster of blood and light is coming, so if this child's fate is hard to change, he will die when he is born. I heard that the princess has the ability to change fate against the sky. Why don't you change the fate of this child? The child is alive and well."

Yan Qingcheng took a special look at Wu Jieyu, she could only be regarded as pretty, she sat there respectfully and quietly from the beginning to the end, she didn't say a word, her lowered eyes were calm , calmly like an outsider.

Yan Qingcheng stood up, bowed deeply to Concubine Bai, and said with a sincere apology:
"Back to the empress, I don't know the rumors I heard from the empress. The minister is just a mortal, and she doesn't have the ability to predict the future and change fate against the sky. Qingcheng is very worried about the matter of Empress Jieyu, but please forgive Qingcheng for her incompetence. There's nothing I can do to help."

Concubine Bai sat upright, her voice suddenly raised a bit, with an aggressive aura.

"You really don't?"

Yan Qingcheng lowered her eyes.

"No."

Concubine Bai stared deeply at Yan Qingcheng's face, hoping to catch a trace of uneasiness after lying on her face, but she was disappointed. Yan Qingcheng's face was calm and impeccable, so she couldn't catch any clues.

Somewhat discouraged, she sat back down and raised her hand to wave at Wu Jieyu.

"Send Wu Jieyu back first."

"Chen and concubine retire."

Wu Jieyu stood up docilely, bowed to salute, and exited Longze Pavilion with the accompanying maids.

Yan Qingcheng glanced at Wu Jieyu's back again from the corner of her eye, the dark light in her eyes became even darker.
