297 The Ball-like Stomach
He was proud that his daughter was so powerful, but he was disappointed that he was about to pass the throne to his daughter and that this country no longer needed him. However, there was also an advantage. Ever since he agreed to pass on the throne, all the strange things in the palace had returned to normal. Things like birds committing suicide, wild cats crying at night, and tiles falling from the throne room were all normal now. The emperor had to admit that since the real princess had returned, it was time for him to step down. The emperor did not know if he should cry or laugh. If he did not fight for the throne with Wu Tielong back then, the throne would probably still fall into his daughter’s hands.
In the Zhao residence…
“Boss, you have an urgent letter. The guy who wrote it is quite provocative. He even wiped blood on it. Isn’t this challenging your authority, boss? ” Song Yun hurriedly came in and handed the letter to Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi was now more than four months pregnant, and her belly was visibly bigger than before, like a balloon.
“There must be a little fatty in your stomach. In half a month’s time, your stomach will be even bigger.” Song Yun patted Jiang Xi’s stomach. As soon as she put her hand on it, she was kicked. Jiang Xi’s stomach bulged. It was clear that this child had a bad temper. Song Yun’s eyes widened. What? She could not afford to offend the mother, but even the younger one was also so capable?
Jiang Xi opened the letter. Sister Yi next to her was tiptoeing to peek at the contents of the letter. She could not help it, as the body she had transmigrated to was a shorty.
“An abandoned wife? Is it talking about you?” Sister Yi was munching on sunflower seeds and was very surprised. There was actually someone so bold?
“She invited me to attend the wedding of Zhao Ruifeng and the saintess on the sixth day of the lunar month. She sent me ten thousand taels of silver, ten thousand taels of gold, and all kinds of rare treasures. She also asked me to break off my husband and wife relationship with Zhao Ruifeng. The letter said that Zhao Ruifeng and I were not a good match, that I was not worthy of him, and that she and Zhao Ruifeng were the most suitable for each other,” Jiang Xi briefly explained the contents of the letter.
When Sister Yi heard this, her expression instantly turned serious. She looked at Jiang Xi’s smile and held her breath. ‘Look, someone’s looking for death!’
“Are all mistresses in this era so arrogant? She even dared to personally write a letter to provoke the first wife? It seems that if you give up on General Zhao, these things will be your compensation. If you don’t want to give up, you’re welcome to go and snatch him back. Is this person so arrogant?” Song Yun’s eyes widened in disbelief. She had not seen such a fool who was seeking death in a long time!
Zhao Yingying came in from outside. When she heard this, her face turned cold on the spot. “My big brother would never do anything to let sister-in-law down. He would definitely use his life to protect his chastity! This so-called saintess is just talking nonsense because of the distance. Let’s go and beat her up together!” Zhao Yingying hurriedly consoled Jiang Xi, for fear that she would overthink.
Jiang Xi pursed her lips. “I just feel that no one has dared to provoke me like this for many years. I miss it for a moment. I admire the courage of the saintess.” She wanted to see who had the ability to separate her from Zhao Ruifeng, steal her man, and steal the father of her future child!
“Why do I find this arrogant feeling so familiar?” It was those who were not afraid of death and want to attack others. It felt so familiar. Song Yun touched her chin and thought. It would be interesting if things were as she imagined.
“Tomorrow is the coronation ceremony, and it’s the first day you’ve become the empress. When we’re done with our work, we’ll go and get that saintess personally!” Song Yun added fuel to the fire. Her eyes lit up as she was afraid that Jiang Xi would be soft-hearted.
“Ah, the separation of husband and wife, the separation of flesh and blood, this is a tragedy on earth. Without a husband and father, the child in your stomach is really pitiful. Moreover, I don’t know how much torture General Zhao has suffered in a strange place…” Song Yun wiped her tears and continued to fan the flames. At this moment, someone in the saintess’ palace suddenly shivered, and a chill went straight to the top of her head.
Early the next morning, red silk was hung all over Jing City, and red lanterns were hung on the trees. At a glance, it was an ocean of red. Jing City was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The people ran around to tell each other, and Jing City was filled with joy.
The imperial observatory had been prepared in the center of Jing City for a long time. It was a place for sacrifices. Usually, it could only be opened when the empress ascended the throne or died, or when the country was in trouble to offer sacrifices to heaven.
