The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

While talking, the palace people had already laid out the meal.

The two simply put aside the matter of the queen and sat down at the dining table.

Yao Xingde was originally going to provide food for Lu Zhaolin, but Jiang Shiying took this job away today.

Lu Zhaolin looked at her with some suspicion: "Why is Aying so attentive today?"

Jiang Shiying smiled flatteringly: "Ah Ying may have caused a little trouble for His Majesty today."

"Oh?"

Jiang Shiying told the story about Concubine Jade: "Concubine Jade insisted on asking Ah Ying about Concubine Qi. But Your Majesty didn't say anything, how could Ah Ying tell her? So Ah Ying told Concubine Yu that , if she really wants to know, she can ask His Majesty herself."

Lu Zhaolin tapped her nose angrily and said, "You know how to push me."

Jiang Shiying smiled and said, "Ah Ying is also telling the truth!"

Lu Zhaolin raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Do you still have a valid reason?"

Jiang Shiying twisted her thumb and index finger together, placed them at the same height as her forehead, blinked and said, "There is still a little bit of truth."

Seeing that Lu Zhaolin still had an expression that was half-smiling, she nuzzled up to him and said, "Your Majesty has a lot of food, so let A-ying enjoy the shade under your majesty's big tree."

Lu Zhaolin said: "Then it depends on whether your service is adequate today."

Jiang Shiying stood up, cleared her throat first, and then said: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this jade soup? Do you want Aying to serve one for you?"

Lu Zhaolin was almost amused by her, so he suppressed his laughter and said, "Then let's have one."

After he had taken two mouthfuls of the jade soup, Jiang Shiying said, "What do you think of this mutton biscuit? Can I give you a piece?"

Lu Zhaolin looked at the cake and said, "Okay, let's have one."

After finishing eating the biscuits, he said, "Okay, you've passed the test. Sit down and use something."

Jiang Shiying didn't refuse and sat next to him with a smile.

Just after breakfast, I heard a message from a young eunuch saying that Concubine Jade wanted to see her.

Lu Zhaolin pondered for a moment and then said: "Let Concubine Yu go back."

At the entrance of the palace, Concubine Jade saw the little eunuch who was delivering the message coming out, and walked two steps forward: "How is it? Your Majesty wants to see me?"

The little eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please let me go back."

Concubine Yu was stunned, she didn't expect this.

Then, she heard her say: "I will not go back unless Your Majesty sees me."

In Dongnuan Pavilion, Lu Zhaolin and Jiang Shiying both heard the little eunuch pass on Concubine Yu's words.

Lu Zhaolin frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, then heard Jiang Shiying sigh: "Hey, the Jade Concubine looks like this. She must have been favored by His Majesty before."

Lu Zhaolin was worried at first, but after hearing her words, he laughed out of nowhere and said, "Are you jealous?"

Jiang Shiying shook her head: "Ah Ying didn't, I just feel lucky."

"Oh? What are you thankful for?"

Jiang Shiying hugged his arm and said, "I'm glad that Jade Concubine doesn't know how to cherish, so she gave Aying the chance to enter His Majesty's heart."

"You." Lu Zhaolin nodded her forehead. His heart seemed dull and warm, and he didn't know what to say.

The little eunuch who had delivered the message before was still standing there with his head lowered, not daring to interrupt the two masters above.

Finally, Lu Zhaolin thought of him and ordered: "If Concubine Yu wants to wait, just let her wait."

The little eunuch bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Shiying: "Wait a minute."

Lu Zhaolin and the little eunuch both looked at her, wondering what she was going to do.

Jiang Shiying said: "Bring a hand stove to Concubine Jade. It's cold outside, so don't catch a cold."

Lu Zhaolin felt that Jiang Shiying was kind-hearted, but Concubine Yu outside the gate of Jingyang Palace did not think so.

She glanced at the hand stove that was handed to her and said coldly, "I don't need it."

When she said this, the little eunuch no longer insisted.

This young eunuch was originally from Jingyang Palace, and his heart naturally favored Jiang Shiying. At this moment, I just felt that my mother-in-law's good intentions were being regarded as nothing more than donkey's liver and lungs.

Anyway, he offered Concubine Yu a stove, but she refused. She is a concubine and he is a young eunuch. How can he force her to accept it? Just don't want it, she deserves to be cold.

Lu Zhaolin and Jiang Shiying in Dongnuan Pavilion also knew about this. Lu Zhaolin only said: "Then let her be."

In this way, Concubine Yu stood at the door of Jingyang Palace all day long, from the end of Chenshi to the zenith of the moon, and Lu Zhaolin did not relent to see her.

During such a whole day, many people in the palace who came and went saw her, and the masters in the harem also knew about it.

In Xianfu Palace, the imperial concubine sneered: "She is just confused. Do you really think that His Majesty's affection for her will never change in your lifetime?"

After saying this, I thought of myself again.

Concubine Yu is confused, so why is she different?

The beauties broke off their friendship before they were old, so she wanted to see if Chun Zhaoyi could avoid this incident.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen didn't know whether she should breathe a sigh of relief.

She sighed: "It seems that Concubine Yu is no longer useful, but she has a more difficult Chun Zhaoyi. It's better for them to be evenly matched, and I can sit on the Diaoyutai securely."

When paying respects the next day, someone indeed mentioned this matter, and it was the queen who mentioned it.

"I heard that Concubine Yu stood in the cold wind all day yesterday. Is she feeling well?"

Concubine Jade stood up and bowed, but she still had the same cold and indifferent attitude that no one wanted to talk to: "Everything is fine with me, I thank you, the Queen, for your trouble."

After the greetings were over, everyone dispersed.

On the way back, Jiang Shiying heard Qiu Yu say: "Your Majesty, Dong Cainu has been kept by the Queen."

Jiang Shiying chuckled lightly: "The child she left behind is not Dong Cainu, but the child in Dong Cainu's belly."

Seeing that His Majesty was tired of the middle palace, the Queen thought it was difficult to have a child by herself, so she turned to the lower-ranking concubines.

She had been eyeing Zhen Meiren before, but after all, Zhen Meiren was only one step away from becoming a concubine. No matter how beautiful she thought, the emperor and Zhen Meiren might not let her get her wish.

Now that we have someone like Dong Cainu who is really humble and easy to handle, why don't we put more effort into her?

However, Dong Cainu may seem obedient, but she may not be willing to give her the child. Just wait and see, this matter is still going to cause a lot of fuss.

After returning to Jingyang Palace, just after breakfast, someone from the Shenxing Department came back to talk.

The one who came this time was Grandma Sun.

Jiang Shiying looked at Lu Zhaolin: "Your Majesty, do you need me to avoid you?"

After all, the focus of Qi Bin's interrogation was not how she killed Chanyi, but what secrets she was hiding.

This secret may not be suitable for her to know.

After Lu Zhaolin pondered for a moment, I didn't know what he was thinking, but he shook his head: "No need."

Then, he looked at Nanny Sun and said, "Tell me what Concubine Qi told me."

Grandma Sun handed Concubine Qi's testimony to Yao Xingde, who then handed it to Lu Zhaolin with both hands.

Lu Zhaolin took the testimony, but just put it aside.

Nanny Sun lowered her head and replied: "Your Majesty, Chun Zhaoyi, the reason why Concubine Qi killed Miss Chanyi was because Miss Chanyi heard her discussing with Xia Zhu about Concubine Jade and the Sixth Prince."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaolin frowned. He did not expect that this matter would involve Concubine Jade and the Sixth Prince.

Grandma Sun continued: "According to Concubine Qi, when the Sixth Prince died that year, she took advantage of her friendship with the Jade Concubine and took the opportunity to add sesame powder to the meal of the Sixth Prince's wet nurse. The sesame seeds in the little eunuch's room were Fan, she bribed someone to put it in secretly." (Chapter 67, Death of the Sixth Prince)

Jiang Shiying covered her mouth in surprise: "Hasn't she always been on good terms with Concubine Jade? Yesterday, Concubine Yu stood outside Jingyang Palace all day for her."

Grandma Sun said: "Qi Concubine said that she has been jealous of Concubine Yu since she was a child. Obviously both of them are legitimate daughters in the family. Concubine Yu was doted on by her family since she was a child, but Concubine Qi's family only values ​​their son and treats her as a daughter. neglect.

After the two entered the palace, the Jade Concubine was deeply favored by the Holy Spirit, while the Qi Concubine favored Ping Ping. Later, Qi Concubine became pregnant with the emperor's heir first and was promoted to a higher position, but Jade Concubine was able to be equal to her just by being favored.

Later, after the Jade Concubine had the sixth prince, His Majesty first promoted her to be the first of the nine concubines, and later he even relented and wanted to make her a concubine. But Qi Concubine has five princes under her knees, but she is just a noble concubine.

Concubine Qi hated the Jade Concubine in her heart. The better the Jade Concubine treated her, the more jealous she became. Because of this, he took action to kill the Sixth Prince. "

What she didn't say was that when Concubine Qi explained these things, she was in a state of complete madness. Even an old woman like her, who has been on duty in the Department of Punishment for many years, finds it a bit scary.

Jiang Shiying turned around slightly, took Lu Zhaolin's hand, and said: "Ah Ying originally envied the relationship between Qi Bin and Yu Fei, and felt that they were much luckier than Ah Ying. Now it seems that only Yu Fei is the one. He speaks sincerely, but unfortunately this sincerity is--"

She couldn't say anything worse, but Lu Zhaolin had no scruples: "It's a pity that this sincerity was fed to the dog."

Grandma Sun lowered her head, not caring. Aren’t all the ladies in this harem like this? On the surface, the elder sister and younger sister scream nicely, but secretly they want to send each other to death.

At this time, Lu Zhaolin said: "According to my decree, Qi's concubine has failed in virtue and acted viciously. She was demoted to a commoner and was thrown into the cold palace. The fifth prince was raised by Concubine Yu."
