Chapter 31: The imperial concubine who died suddenly more than ten years ago
After leaving Qianqing Palace, Jiang Yueqing's heart was full of anger and disappointment, and the speed of his feet subconsciously increased a lot.
Qin Zhili finally raised his head and followed her closely.
She ran, he chased her, but she couldn't fly...
After all, Jiang Yueqing was a woman. She couldn't get rid of him no matter what. She could only stop and turned around and said bitterly: "Qin Zhili, why are you following me?"
"Yueqing, I..."
"Please be respectful. There is a difference between you and me. I am Princess Leyang. How can you have the courage to call me by my first name?"
"Princess Leyang, I..."
"Looking at your submissive look, I really misjudged you!"
Jiang Yueqing became more and more disappointed, especially when he saw that Qin Zhili did not dare to look at him, he became even more angry and turned around and left immediately.
Qin Zhili panicked and wanted to reach out to stop her, but she unexpectedly slapped her face with her backhand. The face that had just subsided suddenly became swollen again.
He was stunned and could only let Jiang Yueqing leave.
Concubine Lin smiled apologetically at Qin Ke: "Master Qin, what happened today is not what we expected. I apologize to you two on behalf of my daughter."
Qin Ke bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are so polite!"
Concubine Lin shook her head and chased after her.
Qin Ke patted Qin Zhili's shoulder and whispered a few words of comfort, but Qin Zhili pushed his hand away as if he had lost his soul, and staggered out of the palace.
…
Chengqian Palace.
"Yueqing! All men in the world are lucky. In the past, you were just blinded by Qin Zhili. Now that you have recognized a man's face, why don't you marry a powerful man?"
Concubine Lin is good at tempting.
Jiang Leqing glanced at her coldly: "Mother! Since your goal has been achieved, why bother adding insult to injury? Do you have to be satisfied with me sticking to Zhao Hao like those brothel girls?"
Lin Guifei was so sarcastic by her, the anger in her eyes flashed away, but in the end it turned into a touch of heartache.
She touched her daughter's face and said, "Are you angry with me as a mother?"
Jiang Leqing snorted coldly: "I wouldn't dare!"
Concubine Lin shook her head: "We are the only two in the room now. If you have any grievances, just tell us."
Jiang Yueqing finally couldn't help it anymore: "You abandoned your daughter's happiness in order to climb to the top of Zhenguo Mansion. What else is there to say?"
Concubine Lin sighed: "Of course my mother is happy to see this result, but do you really think that this matter was reversed if she wanted to? From the time Qin Ke decided to come to see your father, everything has changed It’s all done!”
Jiang Yueqing was dissatisfied and said: "There are only three concubines in the harem. You are obviously one of my father's favorite concubines. We are obviously reasonable. As long as you speak, you can make my father take your life back!" "
Concubine Lin smiled miserably: "Silly Yueqing! Do you really think that your status as a concubine and your father's favor are the gold medal?"
Jiang Yueqing was stunned for a moment: "But usually my father treats you..."
"If your father is really such a loving and kind man, why did Qin Ke come over in such a hurry to break off the engagement? Do you really think it's all because of the prestige of Zhenguo Mansion?"
Concubine Lin shook her head: "There is one thing I have never told you. In the past, there was only one concubine in the harem. Your father almost ignored the entire harem and doted on her alone. For a year in a row, even the queen's I’ve never been to the bedroom.”
Jiang Yueqing was a little curious. This was indeed the first time she heard about this matter. She couldn't help but ask: "Is that noble concubine beautiful?"
Concubine Lin nodded: "Absolutely beautiful! In front of her, I don't even have the courage to look at her!"
Jiang Yueqing was really shocked now. She had always been proud of her appearance, and her appearance was inherited from Concubine Lin.
But now, Concubine Lin said that she didn't even have the courage to look at that woman!
How stunning is this?
She became even more curious: "Why have I never seen this person since I was a child?"
Concubine Lin said with a hint of heart palpitations: "Because she is dead!"
Jiang Yueqing was startled: "Dead? How did you die? Did you die of illness?"
Concubine Lin shook her head: "I don't know! No one knows the cause of that concubine's death. Before her death, except for your father, only the maids and eunuchs could enter the Zhongcui Palace, and even the imperial doctor had no contact with her.
Later she died, and all the maids and eunuchs in Zhongcui Palace were buried with her. Later, a new batch of maids and eunuchs were replaced. From the time they entered, they never came out again. Even the supplies were eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Deliver it to the door and be picked up by someone inside."
"this……"
Jiang Yueqing was also frightened.
Before the imperial concubine died, there was not even an imperial doctor coming and going, which meant that she did not die of illness at all!
If he didn't die from illness, how else could he die?
It’s scary to think about it!
Concubine Lin shook her head: "Speaking of which, I have to thank that woman. Unless she dies, I won't be able to make her a concubine. Your father's favor will not be on my head, but my mother will never rely on these favors.
What to ask for.
Whatever your father wants to do, follow his wishes. Just because I am a noble concubine today does not mean that I will not be a corpse tomorrow! If you think about it carefully, although your mother didn’t help you just now, did she ever add insult to injury and say half-heartedly?
Any words to persuade your father to regret his marriage?"
Jiang Yueqing was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
Not only did Concubine Lin not add insult to injury, she even rarely spoke.
It's just that... her father, who used to be kind and stern at the same time in her eyes, seemed to have suddenly changed his image today.
This image was very unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that it made her feel a little chilly in her heart.
It took a long time for the mother and daughter to recover from the depressing atmosphere.
Concubine Lin sighed: "So Yueqing, in the royal family, especially as your father's concubine and daughter, what we have to consider is not what we should do, but how to follow your father's wishes. So even if this
This time I wanted you to get married, but I didn’t dare to show it in front of outsiders!"
Jiang Yueqing sighed, accepting her fate, especially under the condition that Qin Zhili disappointed her in this way.
She forced a smile: "Mom, who lives in Zhongcui Palace now?"
Concubine Lin sighed softly: "I heard that she is the daughter of that concubine..."
Jiang Yueqing thought about it and asked: "Princess Anyang?"
She knew the titles of all the princesses, but she had never seen this Princess Anyang.
There are also some legends about Zhongcui Palace circulating in the palace, and the princesses often discuss them among themselves. Although they don't know the specific scenes inside, they know that Jiang Zheng only enters Zhongcui Palace once a year.
That was before the royal family dinner on New Year's Eve.
She also noticed that during this royal family banquet, Jiang Zheng's appetite was much smaller than usual.
Come to think of it... I went to accompany that special daughter.
Dining alone with the emperor is something that many princes and princesses cannot ask for, but Princess Anyang can experience it once a year.
But Jiang Yueqing didn't envy her at all: "She... is also a poor person!"
…
night!
Zhenguo Mansion!
"Brother Ritian! Something big happened!"
"A lot of gambling shop owners came to us just now, insisting on giving me a lot of money!"
