Chapter 175 - Fun at the New Year's Eve (1)

Yun Qin glanced at Ye Han beside him. Other than Ye Han, who had the capability to become the war god of the Sky Dragon Empire, amongst the princes present, who could bring their troops to battle and win a hundred battles?

However, Ye Han pretended not to hear and continued to drink. Apparently, he had no intention to go.

Due to Crown Prince's rejection, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Queen smiled gently to ease the atmosphere, "Your Majesty, this New Year's Eve family will be reunited with us. Let's not talk about the matters on the battlefield anymore. Come, chenqie will pour some wine for you."

The Emperor glanced at Ye Han and saw that he was not saying a word, and did not want to make the atmosphere too tense, so he followed Queen's words: "Yes, Queen is right.

The Queen nodded and looked at Ye Yi, indicating for him to be a little more obedient.

With a ball for the Emperor, the Queen said, "This year's New Year's Eve is not as lively as it used to be. In the past, the princes and princes of Princess were still young, and there were also many cheers and laughter in the palace." With that, the Queen looked at Yun Qin with a gentle and harmless look. "Princess has been married into the Prince Mansion for almost a year, I hope that you can help the Prince Mansion get more money soon, so that the palace will become more lively in the future.

Queen's words sounded like she was hoping for a child, but anyone who understood it would know that she was secretly ridiculing Yun Qin for marrying into the Prince Mansion for half a year without any movement from the belly.

The emperor's eyes narrowed in agreement. "That's right, Queen and I look forward to you bringing a grandson for us as soon as possible."

Yun Qin put down her jade chopsticks, everyone knew that it would not be too excessive to say such words to an outsider in the ancient times. Queen wanted her to be mocked in front of so many people, all in all, to be laughed at by everyone.

Situ Yuanwan's hand that was holding the food trembled slightly, and beads of sweat dripped down from the center of her palm. Because only she knew that Yun Qin already had an identity, and was afraid that the Queen would spout out out the joyful news.

She picked up a piece of Scented Fish and fed it to Ye Han, while listening to Yun Qin speak in a calm and composed manner: "This concubine wishes to live as well, but this concubine has no strength to do something like this by herself."

With just one sentence, she pushed all the blame to Ye Han.

The crowd wondered, could it be that there was something wrong with the prince?

The Emperor Eye Color also changed and looked at Ye Han with a complicated gaze.

Only Situ Yuanwan secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

Ye Han's expression stiffened slightly as he pinched Yun Qin's thigh under the table. Yun Qin bit his lips and said in a merry voice to save his, "Your highness wants to stay carefree for two more years, even I can't do anything."

With that, she raised her eyebrows, signalling Ye Han to let go.

"Oh, looks like This Emperor will have to wait a few more years for This Emperor to carry his grandson." In his heart, he felt that it was good that Yun Qin was unable to give birth to children.

Situ Yuanwan was puzzled. This was clearly a good opportunity, why would Yun Qin hide the matter of him being pregnant from them?

She raised her eyes and swept her gaze toward the nearby Ye Ya. With a slight smirk, Situ Yuanwan lowered her gaze.

After the meal, Yun Qin stood up and called Yu Er over: "Let's go to the Jade River to relax."

At night, the cold wind seeped into their bones, and a crescent moon in the sky emitted a faint glow. It shone upon the master and servant by the Jade River, causing their silhouettes to become slender.

Yu Er said softly. In the silent night, her voice seemed to be a little clear, "Princess, it was a good opportunity at the banquet just now. Why didn't you say it?"

Yun Qin knew that she was referring to the child in her womb. She raised her hand and caressed her slightly protruding abdomen, as if she could feel the existence of her child.

Yu Er knew that she had spent a lot of effort into doing this, so she nodded and did not say anymore.

On the other side, at the banquet, Ye Han and Ye Qun began to talk. Fu Er walked over to Situ Yuanwan's side and said softly: "Empress, Princess has gone in the direction of the Jade River."

"Find someone to secretly send a message to Su Zhan, tell him that Yun Qin has arranged to meet you at the Jade River." Situ Yuanwan curled her lips, a cold smile appearing in her eyes, it was even sharper than the winter.

"Yes." Fu Er nodded her head and followed along.

Fu Er found a palace maid to pass a message to Su Zhan. Su Zhan was suspicious; Glancing at Ye Ya, who was chatting with a few imperial concubines not too far away, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

When Situ Yuanwan saw this, she slowly walked to Ye Ya's side and nodded slightly towards her. When she thought about how the two of them together did not kill Yun Qin last time, she felt unresigned in her heart. However, after the previous collaboration, the two of them had become more familiar with each other.

Ye Ya knew that Situ Yuanwan and her were people that shared a heart and soul, so her attitude towards couldn't help but become more fervent. She smiled, revealing a row of plain teeth: "Sister-in-law, is there anything you need?"

"The prince is chatting with them. I'm not familiar with this palace as well as my sister. How about you accompany me to the Jade River Lake?" Situ Yuanwan invited them gently.

Ye Ya's impression of Situ Yuanwan was not bad, compared to the annoying Yun Qin, she did not know how she was doing, so when she took the initiative to invite him, she smiled and agreed, "Alright, since that's the case, little sister and sister-in-law can go take a look at the Jade River."

By the jade river, Yun Qin saw that many of the palace maids were lighting lanterns by the lake and was immediately interested. Seeing that she wanted to light them, Yu Er went to ask the eunuch who had placed the lanterns not far away for two, and when the young eunuch heard that the banquet Princess wanted them, he naturally did not dare delay any further and picked out the two most beautiful lanterns, smiling as he passed them to Yu Er.

"Thank you, Young Eunuch." Yu Er carried the lanterns and returned to Yun Qin's side.

Yun Qin received the flower lamp that looked like a green leaf. Even though it was only a small green leaf, its color had an unspeakable beauty. The flickering light made the lamplight slightly hazy, and a faint warmth came from the center of her palm.

She wanted to find a place with fewer people to put them, so she and Yu Er walked forward a little further, and seeing that the number of palace maids who kept the lanterns lessened, she walked step by step to the side of the river, placed the leaf lamps in her hands into the water, and imitated the appearance of the palace maids, and made a wish with her eyes closed.

Su Zhan walked along the jade river until he finally saw Yun Qin's figure. The oculi revealed a slight smile on its face as it lifted its leg and walked towards Yun Qin.

Yun Qin did not know that someone was approaching from behind and focused on watching her lanterns swim downwards unhindered, making Yu Er put the other lantern into the river as well. She smiled mischievously as she looked at her: "Let me guess, what wishes Yu Er has made, will it be to find my husband as soon as possible?"

Yu Er was so amused by her that her cheeks were burning hot. Just as she was about to attack Yun Qin, Yun Qin got up and ran.

Yu Er hurriedly stepped forward to support the retreating Yun Qin. Seeing Su Zhan in front of him, she quickly lowered her body and bowed. "Prince Consort Ma."

"Yes." Su Zhan responded neither lightly nor seriously, his gentle gaze falling on Yun Qin as he said, "Did I hurt you just now?"

Yun Qin shook her head and subconsciously raised her guard.
