many scrapes, and even used him to provoke Qian Si Chen. But seeing him so deeply in love now, she was suddenly afraid.She didn't want to toy with his feelings, didn't want to see the look of utter ha..."I've always been with the Prince, haven't I Is there anything wrong with that" Xiao Yuge feigned ignorance.
But you... you..." The Empress was also speechless. She knew her son wanted to marry Xiao Yuge, but she couldn't bear the thought of her son marrying a woman who had been with countless other men.
"My Empress, if there's nothing else, this servant will take her leave!" Xiao Yuge didn't want to waste any more time talking to her. She had a lot of things to do herself.
"Sister Empress!" a coquettish voice came from behind her.
Xiao Yuge instinctively came back, quickly stepping aside and bowing: "Greetings to Your Highness, Shu Fei!"
It wasn't someone else, but instead Qian Yi'an's biological mother, Empress Consort Jiang!
This was the first time Xiao Yu Ge had met Jiang Shu Fei after the Emperor lifted her ban. You have to know, for Jiang Zhi Yi's sake, Jiang Shu Fei had considered Xiao Yu Ge a thorn in her side, even though so much time had passed, Jiang Shu Fei's eyes still held resentment towards Xiao Yu Ge.
"Well, well, isn't this the Princess of Guoguo How come you're out dancing about just after having a miscarriage The ancients said that people who are treacherous are easy to raise. That certainly rings true!" As soon as they met, Empress Jiang couldn't help but target Xiao Yuge.
Now Xiao Yuge is not someone who swallows her anger silently. She smiled faintly: “It's rare for Your Majesty, the Noble Consort, to remember me after being ill for so long. You've just recovered, and in this sweltering heat, you shouldn't come out too often lest you fall ill again.”
It's just telling her not to go too far with her words, she was only released from house arrest. Doesn't she want to get locked up again
"You!" Shufei was so angry she was about to scold, but when she thought of her son's words, she had to swallow her anger and turn to the Empress beside her: "Sister, I came today because I have something to discuss with you..."
"Since Her Majesty the Empress and Noble Consort have matters to discuss, this servant girl shall take her leave first!" Xiao Yuge couldn't wait to leave this place. This kind of intrigue wasn't suitable for her.
But strangely enough, Consort Shu stopped her: “It's not a secret matter. Princess Huanguo, there’s no harm in you listening.”
Xiao Yu Ge remained silent, feeling a sense of helplessness. Did they really want to force her to watch this play But she couldn't be too disrespectful as the other party was the empress. She could only stay there.
"Sister Shu Fei, come on, what's the matter" The Empress saw Shu Fei's proud face, and she was also very unhappy in her heart, but because she was a queen, she didn't want to be as rude as her.
“Oh, that’s it. My sister saw Your Majesty's body recovering quickly, so she wanted to arrange An'er's marriage. There have been too many things happening recently, and this palace also needs some joyful events to cheer it up.” Although the Emperor had freed her from confinement, he still refused to see her, so she could only come to the Empress for help when she had something to do.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty It's just this, I'll tell you myself, but it's only about taking a concubine. Sister Shu Fei is quite thoughtful, isn't she" The Empress' words were clearly laced with sarcasm.
Ke Shufei seemed to ignore it: "Sister, although it's just taking in a concubine, An'er is still properly married according to tradition, and she is also the adopted daughter of the National Teacher. We certainly wouldn't wrong her."
Yes, she was indeed here to show off. No matter what her son says, he's about to marry a concubine. Once the child is born, it will be the emperor's grandson. Naturally, the emperor will pay even more attention to An'er. The prince behaves recklessly; it’s not certain who will ultimately inherit the position of crown prince.
She used to feel inferior because her son was disabled. Now that her son can walk, she feels proud and upright. If it weren't for her son advising her not to go around the palace, she would have flaunted it everywhere.
To say that having such a mother concubine is truly the misfortune of thousands of years, isn't it
"Alright, this palace will discuss with the Emperor and expedite the marriage between Prince Xian and Miss Ye." The Empress's face was not very pleasant.
"Thank you, sister!"
I thought that Ginger Consort would leave so happily, but she insisted on staying to cause trouble: “By the way, sister, the marriage of the Crown Prince and the two noble maidens…” Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and instinctively covered her mouth: "Oh, me, I said it again! Look at me. The Protectorate County Princess is already with the King, naturally she can't marry the Crown Prince anymore. It’s the marriage of the Crown Prince and the National Security County Princess. When will you host a celebration for them”
The Empress's face was a little strained, but she still said in a measured tone: "This matter also needs to be discussed with Your Majesty."
"That indeed needs a good discussion. Sister, I heard that the Guo'an County Princess has health issues and can't bear children. This Hùguó County Princess is quite healthy, but... there's a saying, I don't know if it's appropriate for me to say it"
"If you know better than to speak, then don't!" The Empress was also fed up with her. Wasn't it just her son taking on a concubine What was there to be proud of.
Seeing the Empress angry, Shu Fei achieved her purpose and quickly left: “Sister is right, so I won’t say anything more. I’ll go back and make some porridge for my future daughter-in-law to nourish her, so that after they get married, they can have three children in two years!” After saying that, she left triumphantly.
The Empress was furious, her fists clenched so tightly that the long fingerless gloves were cutting into her flesh. She didn't even notice, for how could she not hear the provocative undertones in Shu Fei's words Once Xian Wang gave birth to His Majesty's eldest grandson, wouldn't Chen Er's position become precarious
No! She absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen. She had spent half her life battling in this palace, and though she had lost many things, she had never lost, nor would she ever admit defeat!
Because, in the palace, admitting defeat means death!
“Ge’er, you are a smart person. You also saw the situation between this palace and Chen’er. You were betrothed to Chen’er since childhood. Although Chen’er was blinded by some people back then, fortunately, he finally saw through someone's true face. He complained to this palace yesterday. The one he loves most is still you. No matter what happened between you and the Wangye, his love for you has never changed, Ge’er. From when you were eight years old and betrothed to Chen’er until now, this palace believes that you once loved him deeply. It was that scoundrel who hurt your heart, so you became cold towards him. But Ge’er, can't you give Chen’er another chance”
Indeed, for that throne, one can endure anything. Even knowing Xiao Yu Ge had ‘carried’ another man's child and was now with another man in a unclear manner, as the empress, second only to the emperor, she still had to bear it.
"Your Majesty, the matter between my servant girl and the Crown Prince, my servant girl has already explained it to him. Now my servant girl is the wife of the King, no matter what feelings there were between her and the Crown Prince before, it doesn't matter now."
"Song..." Seeing Xiao Yuge was determined, the Empress also panicked. Now Qian Yi'an was about to marry a concubine. If she gave birth to a child, it would be the grandson. The position of Crown Prince would face another crisis. She now pinned her hopes on Xiao Yuge, who was the favored daughter of destiny. of the reasons why he has to get close to her every time he speaks. Of course, the main reason is to see her nervous and embarrassed expression, just like now, he leaned into her ear and whispered so...
