Chapter 24 Above the Queen



As an emperor, Emperor Qin Huan was naturally the last person to appear at the banquet.When Bai Yuzhi arrived at Jixian Palace with Emperor Qin Huan in an imperial chariot, the others had already taken their seats.

Including the Queen and the Queen Mother.

At this moment, the Queen Mother was sitting on the throne parallel to the right side of Emperor Qin Huan's Dragon Throne, and the Queen was just below the Queen Mother.

Seeing Emperor Qin Huan and Bai Yuzhi coming together, the Queen Mother had already narrowed her eyes with a smile and stood up to greet them.

After Emperor Qin Huan was holding his white jade waist, the Queen Mother stepped forward and took her hand: "How are you today? Is the child good in your belly?"

Bai Yuzhi already had fetal movements when she was four months old. The child was quite lively. The Queen Mother had personally seen the child rolling in her belly, so she asked this question.

While walking to the seat prepared for her, she answered the Queen Mother's words: "He has been quite good recently and hasn't kicked me much."

Through the figures of the guests and concubines coming and going, Bai Yuzhi accurately saw the queen sitting alone on the steps. Her face was cold at this time, and she could not detect it when Emperor Qin Huan and the Queen Mother were surrounding Bai Yuzhi. He frowned, then stood up to greet Emperor Qin Huan.

All the envoys, courtiers, and concubines knelt down and bowed, and even the Queen Mother and Bai Yuzhi also accepted these etiquettes.Forget about the Queen Mother, after all, she is the biological mother of Emperor Qin Huan, but even the Queen is not qualified to kneel down, not to mention that she is only a noble concubine, not to mention the Queen, but also the position of the Imperial Concubine.

But Emperor Qin Huan had no intention of asking Bai Yuzhi to avoid him, so he felt at ease and allowed her to receive etiquette higher than that of a queen.

Whether it is the envoys who can come to worship or the ministers in the court who are qualified to attend the banquet, any one of them is not a human spirit. How can he not understand the meaning of Emperor Qin Huan? He looked at the queen and Bai Yuzhi for a moment. It's all a little subtle.

The white jade position is at the bottom of the steps on the Queen Mother's side, opposite Concubine Rong. Above it are Emperor Qin Huan, the Queen Mother and the Queen.After arriving at the location, she wanted to walk over, but she didn't expect that Emperor Qin Huan had no intention of letting her out of his sight. He directly supported the person and walked up.

"Your Majesty, there is no seat for my concubines there."

Emperor Qin Huan didn't look sideways: "Sit next to me."

The emperor's desk is of course very large. Not to mention an extra white jade table, even two more people would probably be able to sit on it. However, the position must be considered carefully.

Emperor Qin Huan's position at the banquet was of course in the middle, with the Queen Mother on the right and the Queen on the lower left.If Bai Yuzhi sits on the right, it will overwhelm the Queen Mother; if she sits on the left, it will hit the Queen in the face.

The Queen Mother obviously thought of this, but felt that it was natural for Emperor Qin Huan to take care of Bai Yuzhi in this way, so she voluntarily took a step back and said, "Let Concubine Heng sit between you and me."

The tense queen breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to be beaten down by the imperial concubine in front of the courtiers and envoys and then become the laughing stock of the entire Qin Dynasty and even the world.

But she was only halfway relieved when Emperor Qin Huan gave her a hard mental slap.

"The imperial concubine is a junior, so naturally she can't sit next to the Queen Mother, so she can sit on the left."

Bai Yuzhi had no intention of getting closer to the right, but as soon as Emperor Qin Huan's words came out, she naturally sat on the left side of Emperor Qin Huan, a position that was more honorable than the queen.

The queen's face was already ugly at this time, but she was worried that she was still in front of the courtiers and envoys, so she could only sit in her seat and talk to Bai Yuzhi in a low voice. How could the queen dare to tell Emperor Qin Huan about this directly? Bai Yuzhi could tell Emperor Qin Huan that he didn't want to sit here.

"Concubine Heng, do you think it's comfortable to sit here? You must be not used to it. The guests here are all staring at you, and they can't even eat well."

The white jade woman pretended not to understand the Queen's words and maintained an innocent expression: "Thank you, Queen, for your concern. Your Majesty is right next to me. Who among your servants has the courage to look directly at the sky? I'm afraid it's the Queen." Worrying too much.”

She didn't want to target the queen. Bai Yuzhi's direct targets were only Concubine Rong and the Duke of Jin.She didn't even think about pursuing the matter of the Queen Mother poisoning her.But since the last time the queen heard the words of Emperor Qin Huan about deposing the queen in the Zichen Palace, the queen's recent behavior has become more and more strange, and Bai Yuzhi had to take advantage of it first.

"... Concubine Heng hasn't been as happy as usual pregnant women recently. I see there is some fish on the table. If Concubine Heng feels unwell, you must tell her."

The queen did not give up and continued to try to find some excuse to make Bai Yuzhi leave this seat.

But the speaker was unintentional and the listener was interested. The queen's original intention was to make Bai Yuzhi feel that the fishy smell of the fish would cause discomfort and voluntarily leave the table. However, in Concubine Rong's ears, it was a good idea to test whether Bai Yuzhi was really pregnant. Chance.

After the incident of the Qianqiu Banquet passed, the Duke of Jin sent someone to deliver the news to Concubine Rong again. The Duke of Jin believed that Bai Yuzhi was likely to have a false pregnancy like Jiang Meiren, and that this false pregnancy was arranged by Emperor Qin Huan himself. I hope Concubine Rong can investigate the situation clearly.

Concubine Rong herself also felt that the possibility of the matter was not small. After all, Emperor Qin Huan had not had an heir for 20 years. How could a concubine suddenly appear pregnant when he was nearly forty years old?

So Concubine Rong laughed, neither humble nor arrogant: "The Queen is right. Although I have never given birth to a child, I have many younger siblings, so I know a lot about the taboos of women during pregnancy. For example, this fish, I heard that many women are overjoyed when they are pregnant and don’t smell fishy at all, but I didn’t expect Concubine Heng to be not afraid at all.”

Bai Yuzhi looked at Concubine Rong and felt that one day he would be able to see Concubine Rong and the Queen joining forces. In order to find out some of their mistakes, these two women would really use any means.

However, the Queen Mother did not see the hint here, and said cheerfully: "Concubine Heng is indeed blessed. It has been five months, and the child has not bothered her at all. The food is delicious."

Concubine Rong's eyes flashed, and she felt that the white jade fake pregnancy was very close, so she agreed with a few words that Concubine Heng was indeed different and gave up.The queen also noticed something and looked at the white jade belly not far away from her. There was a very natural curvature there. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the belly, but the white jade didn't react at all...

The queen wanted to test it out again and get more evidence for her bold conjecture, but was interrupted by Emperor Qin Huan's cold eyes.

"Don't disturb the imperial concubine's meal."

It turned out that while several people were testing each other, the banquet had officially begun.

An envoy from a small border country stood up and toasted Emperor Qin Huan in the not very fluent Daqin language: "A toast to the noble Emperor of Daqin!"

He saw the white jade sitting next to Emperor Qin Huan again with a full belly, looking like he suddenly realized: "Since the Queen of your country is pregnant, I will not propose a toast! Congratulations to the Emperor on the birth of his precious son!"

The envoy was not good at Chinese and did not know that the announcement of the birth of a baby had to be made after the child was born. However, no one bothered about this because everyone realized that the envoy recognized Concubine Heng as the queen.

At the originally lively banquet, the officials of Great Qin all bowed their heads and fell silent.The other envoys didn't know why, and they all looked at the superior Qin Huan Emperor, trying to get some clues from his face.

The queen, on the other hand, had already turned pale and almost lost her composure even at the palace banquet.

In the silence, Emperor Qin Huan drank the wine in his glass slowly and then looked at the envoy who was toasting.

He obviously realized that he had said something wrong, and now he fell to his knees trembling.

Emperor Qin Huan said something, and the envoys relaxed a lot, but the Qin court officials all had their eyes cracked.
