Chapter 212 212, an affair

Concubine Xian lives in Qingliang Hall.

This hall is located in the northwest of the palace, close to the lotus pond.

In summer, when you are in the Qingliang Hall, you can see the infinite green lotus leaves touching the sky, the lotus leaves fluttering in the wind, and the pink lotus slenderly rippling on the water... Especially in the early morning, when the lake water is filled with mist, it is a fairyland.

It's so breathtaking and beautiful that it's like a fairyland.

After entering the Qingliang Hall, a palace maid brought a dress on a tray. It was light pink in color and the material seemed to be of the highest quality. It was also decorated with various jade stones.

Concubine Xian said with a smile: "This is a dress I made before I entered the palace. The material was very expensive at that time, and I only wore it once or twice. Later, when I became pregnant, I couldn't wear it anymore."

"After the confinement period, I couldn't lose weight and couldn't wear it anymore. I had no choice but to store it at the bottom of the box. I couldn't bear to throw it away, so it stayed idle for several years.

"Now that I have seen the little princess, I feel that you are destined to wear it at a glance. Today, I will give it to the little princess to wear..."

Mu Yunjiang stroked the dress. The material was really good and the workmanship was exquisite: "Since I am the most beloved of Concubine Xian, how can I give it to Yunjiang? Otherwise, forget it?"

I feel like this dress is very special to her.

She was on guard and wanted to politely refuse, but she was afraid of getting herself into trouble.

"No matter how much you like it, your figure will be out of shape and you can't wear it. No matter how beautiful the dress is, it's useless. You, don't be polite to me, go and change it... Xiaoxin, take the little princess to the side hall to change..."

Concubine Xian ordered her maid to take her to the side hall.

Mu Yunjiang thought for a moment, and realized that a large area of ​​his body was wet. It was extremely cold, which made him feel uncomfortable. Since he had already come here, he should change into something.

When they arrived at the side hall, the maid named Xiaoxin wanted to help her change her clothes, but she refused and wouldn't let anyone get close to her.

Asking the maid to retreat, she came to the screen and took off her wet dress. Then she put on Concubine Xian's dress. She looked in the mirror and saw that she was pink and tender. The color matched her skin tone very well.

.

When he came out of the side hall, there was no one at the door, and Xiaoxin ran away without knowing where he was.

Mu Yunjiang went to the main hall, but saw no sign of her. He only saw a few palace maids guarding there, so he asked, "Where is Concubine Xian?"

"Go back to the little princess. Your Majesty is in the study!"

One of them answered.

Mu Yunjiang went to the study room, but heard a faint argument coming from inside:

"In all these years, you have never looked at me. How am I inferior to that little concubine? If you hadn't wanted me back then, I wouldn't have married into the palace to be a widow."

That hateful voice is—Concubine Xian?

Mu Yunjiang froze.

What's the meaning?

Who does she hatefully call a "little concubine"?

Yourself?

So, all her enthusiasm just now was just an act?

Also, who is in the study?

"Concubine Xian, don't talk nonsense. I will remember your kindness back then, but I will never have any personal feelings with you!"

It was Xiao Qiyu who was arguing.

"No personal relationship? Then what does it mean to celebrate my birthday with me? What does it mean to give me clothes? What kind of thing is it to stand up for me and beat me to a bloody head?

"Xiao Qiyu, just because your father is interested in me, you don't dare to compete with your father?

"You have harmed me all my life. Do you know that for these years, I have lived in this deep palace, and my days and nights have been like years, lifeless, like a walking corpse. I accompany you for a while, and this is how you repay me?"

"Before, didn't you keep saying that you would never marry in this life? If you really didn't marry, I would admit it. But now, you have married, and it is a grand wedding?

"So, let me ask you, what do you think of the years I spent with you?"

Those pitiful cries really made me feel pitiful!

Mu Yunjiang was surprised. She never thought that her man would have an affair with this Concubine Xian?

The prince and his stepmother have such a quarrelsome relationship. Once it is exposed, the prince's future will be ruined.

No, it would be fine if others heard such words, so she deliberately shouted loudly:

"Concubine Xian, are you here? Concubine Xian, if you are not here, I will go look for my husband..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qiyu rushed out of the study room and shouted: "Ajiang..."

But when he saw the clothes she was wearing, his eyes dimmed and his expression was very strange.

"My lord, you are here too!"

Mu Yunjiang immediately greeted him with a smile.

Xiao Qiyu suddenly gave Mu Yunjiang a sharp look, "Who asked you to wear these clothes?"

The tone was unprecedentedly harsh.

Mu Yunjiang's expression froze, oh, he is so promising, he dares to yell at himself?

"The clothes in this palace are all old clothes, but this one is the latest, so it should be given to you as a wedding gift..."

Concubine Xian's eyes were full of provocation.

Mu Yunjiang was a smart man and immediately understood that there was a story behind this skirt—could it be given by this man?

"Then I'd better change into my own body!"

She was still holding the skirt she had just changed into.

Xiao Qiyu pursed his lips, enduring unknown anger, and looked at her and said, "Forget it, let's go!"

He stepped over, pulled Mu Yunjiang up and left, taking extremely long strides.

Mu Yunjiang was small and had short legs, so she couldn't keep up and almost tripped.

Concubine Xian stared at them coldly from behind and smiled: "Xiao Qiyu, you are the most ruthless and unjust person in the world. I curse you and your wife to go to the eighteenth level of hell..."

The sun was shining brightly, but Mu Yunjiang felt a chill on her back. The big palm she held was squeezed tighter and tighter, which hurt her.

After leaving Qingliang Hall, Mu Yunjiang couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Xiao Qiyu, I'm not leaving. You're walking so fast, how can I keep up with you? Hand in hand, let go, let go quickly, my hands are all gone."

It hurts you..."

Xiao Qiyu finally came back to his senses and said nervously: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention... What do you think, let me take a look!"

She shook him off.

He wanted to catch him and investigate him closely.

She refused: "It's okay, the pain is invisible."

Looking around, there was no one around. She wanted to ask, but in the end she didn't ask. She just said, "We'll talk about it when we get back..."

I'm afraid that walls have ears. After all, this Concubine Xian is now the emperor's concubine. If she really wants to spread the word about what is right and wrong, it will do Xiao Qiyu no good at all.

Xiao Qiyu's eyes flashed and he nodded: "Well, let's talk about it when we go home. Now we go to see Concubine De... This one is probably not easy to deal with. You just beat up her Aunt Liu yesterday..."

Mu Yunjiang raised her eyebrows: "Have I ever been afraid of anyone?"

Yes, she is so courageous, what is she afraid of?

But in the palace, if you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe - just at the beginning, his eyelids were twitching, hoping that no accident would happen next.

As long as they worship the concubine, they can leave the palace smoothly.

So the two of them walked to Concubine De's Ningde Palace, with only one chamberlain behind them. All the gifts that were supposed to be given before had been given, and now there was only one left. As for the Empress Dowager's share, Xiao Qiyu had already given it to someone first.

Sent over.

The gate of Ningde Palace is closed.

After Xiao Qiyu and Mu Yunjiang came over to explain their intention, the palace maid went in to report and then welcomed them over.

The concubine De, who was dressed prudently and neatly, was leisurely feeding the fish. Her expression looked extremely leisurely. Her light purple dress made her look extremely graceful and dignified.

The palace maid stepped forward and called out: "Your Majesty, King Jingbei and Princess Jingbei have come to pay their respects..."

Concubine De turned her head, her face was extremely dignified and arrogant, her cheeks looked extremely young, and she did not look like she had given birth to an adult prince at all.

She took a warm face towel from the maid's hand, wiped her white hands, smiled faintly, and sat on the high seat.

Xiao Qiyu and Mu Yunjiang knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I pay my respects to Concubine De..."

Concubine De raised her sleeves and leaned back lazily. Her eyes flicked across the face of the little princess, and then she stared at King Jingbei and said:

"Third brother, I heard that yesterday, the little princess beat up Aunt Liu who was sent by me. What's going on?

"Mama Liu is quite old. Why don't you kids know how to respect the old people in the palace?

"Although I am only a slave, my court values ​​filial piety, respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a virtue. Is there anything that cannot be said properly without resorting to violence?

"If it really spreads, it will definitely harm your reputation as King Jingbei. Doesn't King Jingbei cherish his reputation the most?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he came to support his own grandma.
