Ferocious Princess - C402 Not in the least bit secretive
Shangguan Minghao stood up and looked out of the window, his eyes was drifting about, his face had a bit of ice on it, “We don’t know, but cats are more likely to get pregnant this autumn!” Shangguan Minghao was actually mocking him like this, with a murderous look on his face.
Fei Yan laughed, “If Concubine Ping knew that you compared her to a female cat, do you think she would think that you are that male cat?” Fei Yan said without a care, she did not care that Shangguan Minghao’s face was darker than Charcoal at all.
Shangguan Minghao frowned and looked at Fei Yan. “Since you said this, aren’t you afraid that we’ll be displeased?”
“If you do, then you’re not the Shangguan Minghao that I like!” Fei Yan retracted her smile. She was always talking with such an imposing manner and was not the slightest bit afraid.
Shangguan Minghao looked at the Fei Yan who had such an expression on her face, and felt both love and anger. “Just you wait, I want to see what exactly they dare to do. I am the only one who has ever schemed against me. Since when has it been someone else’s turn!” Shangguan Minghao scoffed, and spoke some arrogant words.
Fei Yan stared blankly. This kind of Shangguan Minghao made her feel a little unfamiliar, and that last sentence made her heart tremble. What was going on?
However, how smart was Fei Yan? Although she had her questions, and wanted to believe them, but she would secretly investigate and definitely not interrogate him so openly. She thought that doing so was stupid.
Shangguan Minghao looked at Fei Yan’s serious expression and caressed her face painfully. He thought that she was worrying about the matters of the Concubine Ping, so he embraced her gently and said, “With us here, we won’t let you suffer anymore. Go back to the palace another day!” Shangguan Minghao’s exhausted voice came from the top of his head.
But now, Fei Yan had a tinge of sarcasm in her voice. Returning to the palace, and returning to the palace at this time, how could she not understand?
“Of course, this concubine is already pregnant with my husband’s child. As his wife, how could I avoid watching the show!” Fei Yan said those words sarcastically as she came out of Shangguan Minghao’s embrace.
Shangguan Minghao was startled, he did not catch sight of Fei Yan’s expression that flashed past, and nodded in agreement.
“Empress Dowager, thank you so much for what happened that day!” Concubine Ping sat beside the empress dowager, her face beaming with happiness.
“Right now, we are both on the same boat, helping you is also helping the I ourselves. But don’t forget your current identity, don’t overdo things, you are still just a Concubine Ping, although the Emperor gave you a ‘pregnancy’ of a dragon, but you must know that women can survive in this palace, other than the Emperor’s favor, the other thing is power, and the Emperor’s love will change very soon, only with power, you can effectively use it, so you must not make too many enemies. If you have the power, you can bully one of them!” Empress Dowager’s words had some meaning, but it could also be considered as her warning to Concubine Ping as an experienced person.
Concubine Ping listened attentively to what the empress dowager had to say and said it was always against the ears. Although her words didn’t sound very nice, she knew that the empress dowager treated her well and was actually kind to herself. That way, if she didn’t make any mistakes, it would be easier for her to achieve some sort of objective.
“Thank you for the empress dowager’s advice. I understands, I will be cautious and do his best to seize the emperor’s heart. The best thing would be for Fei Yan to scram!” When Concubine Ping mentioned Fei Yan, his eyes were full of ruthlessness.
Although she didn’t know why the Concubine Ping felt so deep hostility towards Fei Yan, this didn’t stop the empress dowager from making her own decision.
“However, I must remind you, the current Empress is not an ordinary person. Don’t underestimate her, be careful not to fall for her mistakes and get caught!” Her Majesty reminded her solemnly.
When the Concubine Ping heard the empress dowager’s words, she felt aggrieved in her heart. She didn’t think that it would be like that, if it really was like that, how could she be so angry at herself and leave. “Yes, empress dowager, I will remember this!” Although Concubine Ping said that, in her heart, she still did not agree with Fei Yan at all.
The empress dowager saw that Concubine Ping seemed to have heard his words, and didn’t say much. He waved his hand to allow Concubine Ping to leave.
How could the news of the Concubine Ping being pregnant with a dragon seed become a secret? Not to mention the palace, even before the ministers, the news spread like wildfire, with no secrets at all.
Shangguan Minghao looked at the expressions of the ministers in the hall, pretended not to hear anything, and waved his hand, “Withdraw!” After leaving the hall.
When Shangguan Minghao left the palace, everyone started to boil with excitement. It had to be said that the emperor’s prince was extremely important, but the emperor had actually not told everyone about it, and had even made light of it. Could it be that he wanted to protect the Concubine Ping, but the emperor had taken a liking to the Concubine Ping because he looked like a queen? This emperor’s temperament is really hard to understand.
“General Zhuo, how do you think the empress would react to this news?” If a busybody knew that the empress was staying in the Zhuo Mansion, the emperor wouldn’t care. If she stayed in the Zhuo Mansion and didn’t return to the palace, then the emperor must be disappointed in the empress.
“That’s right, how would the empress react?” The other official had also heard of the reason for the empress leaving the palace. He couldn’t stand it at first, but now that things had turned out like this, he wondered if it was going to cause a ruckus.
Zhuo Jun looked at the ministers with a look of watching a good show, and said in disdain, “This empress is virtuous and virtuous, adding a dragon to the empress is something to be happy about. Naturally, empress should be happy to the point of reaction!”
Zhuo Jun’s words had unwittingly caused the two people to smash their own feet with stones. Unexpectedly, after a few days of not knowing, Zhuo Jun had also become this tactful.
“Big Brother, Big Brother, I have something to talk to you about!” Once Zhuo Jun returned to the Zhuo Mansion, he looked like a traveller. His words were spoken without care for anything else, carrying with it the rough and unrestrained manner of a soldier.
Zhuo Lei was currently in the study looking at the account book. Zhuo Jun’s voice was so far away, yet when he heard the anxiousness in Zhuo Jun’s tone, he knew that Zhuo Jun definitely had something important to say. That was why he put down the brush in his hand, and directly opened the door, walking out.
“What is it that makes you so anxious?” Zhuo Lei looked at Zhuo Jun standing outside his own room, his expression solemn.
The moment Zhuo Jun heard Zhuo Lei’s voice, his face brightened and he turned around. Thinking of the matter, he became serious again.
“You don’t know yet, but I heard those people discussing in the imperial court today …” After Zhuo Jun said this, she looked around, as if she was afraid that someone might hear him, and did not notice anyone else. Then, he opened her mouth and said: “Discussion, saying that the Concubine Ping is pregnant with a dragon!”
Zhuo Lei looked at Zhuo Jun in disbelief, and quickly climbed onto his shoulder, “Really? “Are you sure this is not a rumor?” How could Zhuo Lei have never thought that Shangguan Minghao would be so heartless? He had been so infatuated with Fei Yan before, but not long after he returned, he actually ignored him and did not talk about it.
“Big brother, little brother promises that this news is absolutely true. Moreover, I heard that the Emperor has been staying in Concubine Ping’s sleeping quarters for the past few days. It’s not strange for you to say that you’re pregnant!” Although Zhuo Jun was very worried, but in the end, what she said was the truth. He knew that Zhuo Lei would be very excited after hearing the news, hence she was very careful.
Zhuo Lei stabilized his senses, looked at Zhuo Jun and said: “This matter, Fei Yan must not know!”
“What can’t I know? “Big brother?” Just when the two were worried that Fei Yan would know, they did not expect Fei Yan to actually appear on her own, and seemed to have overheard their conversation.
Zhuo Lei’s face changed, but she was afraid that Fei Yan would see through something, so she tried her best to control her temper and said seriously: “Fei Yan, what is it? Small matters… It’s a small matter, right, Zhuo Jun! ” Saying that, Zhuo Lei glanced at Zhuo Jun and gave him a meaningful glance.
However, Zhuo Jun was secretly complaining in his heart. He was a coarse person, he obviously knew how to lie, so he looked at Fei Yan and said, “That’s right, Empress, you are overthinking it!”
With a single glance, Fei Yan felt as if she was wearing a simple shirt as she stood amidst the cold winter.
“Brother, second brother doesn’t know how to lie, and you know I’m most adept at seeing people’s expressions, you’re all lying!” In truth, when Fei Yan saw Zhuo Jun appearing in Zhuo Lei’s courtyard, in addition to the two’s strange expressions, she knew what was going on. However, she had to end this play before it was over, which was why she had such a cold look in her eyes.
This Zhuo Jun trembled as he looked at Zhuo Lei, begging for help.
Zhuo Lei knew that Fei Yan was smart, so he smiled and waved his hand to allow Zhuo Jun to go down, since he could not hide it from him, he could only say it.
“Yaner, Big Brother will tell you, but you must promise Big Brother, no matter what you hear, do not be nervous, do not be sad, and even more so, do not lose your calm!” Zhuo Lei nervously said these words. He himself was already so angry, but he was afraid that Fei Yan would be hurt even more. Then, he didn’t know how to foresee the consequences anymore.
Fei Yan nodded and laughed. Speak, I will treat you calmly! ”
“Concubine Ping is pregnant with Shangguan Minghao’s child!” When Zhuo Lei said these words with great difficulty, each word was worth thousands of gold. So it turned out to be this kind of value method, he was afraid that Fei Yan wouldn’t be able to control his own emotions, so he looked at Fei Yan nervously.
However, Fei Yan’s expression didn’t change at all, and she only said “oh” calmly, so that would be the end of what she had heard.
Zhuo Lei looked at Fei Yan in disbelief. How could Fei Yan be this calm when it was something like this, so calm that it seemed abnormal, that’s right, Fei Yan was just trying to be brave now, Zhuo Lei thought so as he looked at Fei Yan and said resolutely, “Yaner, if you have anything else you want to say, just say it, don’t hold back the pain in your heart!”
Fei Yan smiled indifferently, thought for a while, “Oh, I’m going to prepare to return to the palace!” Then, before Zhuo Lei could react, Fei Yan had already stepped out of Zhuo Lei’s courtyard.
Zhuo Lei stood there blankly, he did not regain his senses for a long time, he did not expect Fei Yan to be so calm, to the point that he did not care at all, it did not seem like it to be Fei Yan’s personality, but he felt that her calmness was even stronger than before, could it be that the palace had changed Fei Yan once again?
However, he didn’t have the time to think about it carefully. Fei Yan had already finished preparing for the journey and was heading back to the palace.
“The empress has arrived!” On Fei Yan’s side, once she returned to the palace, she did not stop for even a moment, and directly went to Concubine Ping’s place.
