Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

665 See off 1
　The auspicious day when Yuan Qingluo and Zhu Qiqi set off for Duzhou finally arrived.The night before arriving in Duzhou, the emperor and empress held a family banquet in Shangxuan Hall to see Yuan Qingluo and Zhu Qiqi off.

　When they arrived at the palace, originally Yuan Qingluo only wanted to take Zhu Qiqi with him, but Zhu Qiqi said that since Wang Yunqin and Deng Jiayu had passed through the door and became his side concubines, it would be unreasonable not to bring them along.

　Yuan Qingluo was not thinking about them, but about Zhu Qiqi.

　People outside rumored that Zhu Qiqi was a jealous woman.The side concubine entered the door, turned a blind eye, hid in the room and refused to come out to accept the salute and tea, the next day the side concubine paid her respects, but still refused to come out to meet.

　This incident was widely spread in the capital.

　Zhu Qiqi didn't care what others said.But Yuan Qingluo thought, if he insisted on not taking Wang Yunqin and Deng Jiayu to the palace, if the emperor and empress blamed Zhu Qiqi, saying that she would not allow them, and there was an unpleasant scene, then it would be bad.

　The Empress Dowager did not come.

　The queen mother couldn't bear to say goodbye, for fear of causing sadness.

　In addition to the emperor and empress, Concubine Pan Shu, Concubine Sun Hui, Concubine Yang Li, Concubine Guo Hua and other high-status concubines all came, and Deng Xueer also came.At this time, Deng Xueer was extremely favored by the emperor, and she had been promoted from Jieyu to Concubine Chen, living in Huachen Palace where Hu Qingmei used to live.

　The queen handed over most of the internal affairs of the palace to Deng Xueer to take care of.Although her status is still below Concubine Pan Shu, Concubine Sun Hui, Concubine Yang Li, and Concubine Guo Hua, invisibly, Deng Xueer's status in the palace is already a privileged figure above everyone except the queen.

　Despite this, Deng Xueer was not proud of it. She was cautious in her words and deeds, followed the rules, and acted according to the etiquette. She had no intention of competing for favor or gaining power. It was also recognized by other concubines.

　Nangong Yiwei and Princess Luoyang also came.

　Nangong Yiyi was as vigorous and charming as ever, but he had a sharper and sharper temperament than when Zhu Qiqi first met him.And Princess Luoyang is much more round and smooth than before, probably living a very comfortable life, so she has a big heart and a fat body.When she saw Zhu Qiqi, her eyes fell on her face, she stared at her for a long time, then suddenly lowered her head, her eyes were slightly red.

　Knowing that she thought of Ye Qiqi, Zhu Qiqi smiled at her, "Princess Luoyang—"

　Princess Luoyang just nodded to her politely.In the end, she was Zhu Qiqi and not Ye Qiqi.

Yuan Qingwu also came, bringing Nangong Concubine, Zheng Concubine, and Zhao Ji.Concubine Nangong was valued by Yuan Qingwu because of her elder brother Nangong Yiwei's relationship. Now she is several months pregnant and has a big belly.And Zhao Ji is even more proud of her spring breeze, and has given birth to the eldest son Yuan Jiajing for Yuan Qingwu.

Yuan Jiajing, who was several months old, was held by the nanny and also came.

The queen dismissed her little grandson.
The Queen's contempt made Yuan Qingwu very dissatisfied.Concubine Ji's son is also his flesh and blood, right?What's more, Zhao Ji, who gave birth to a son, is the woman he likes.Although Yuan Qingwu had recently taken in several more beautiful concubines, it did not change Zhao Ji's status in his heart.

For the death of Crown Princess Deng Aimin, the queen has always been brooding.

Afterwards, she had someone call Yuan Qingwu to the palace, scolded her severely, and insisted that Yuan Qingwu had nothing to do with Deng Aimin's death, and he must have forced her to die.
