"Oh, I see."

After hearing this, Qinghe first breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground!

But immediately afterwards, there was an indescribable sense of loss in my heart...

She was afraid that he would come, but at the same time, she secretly hoped that he would come. The two thoughts were fighting with each other and were very contradictory!

Finally, after being in a daze for a while, she smiled slightly with some self-mockery, then walked to the dressing table, began to take off the hairpins and bun, changed into pajamas, and went to bed, without sleeping all night.

……

late at night.

In Prince Jing's mansion, Du Lianjun was comforting her daughter.

Just now, the maid Xuehui came over and whispered to her that after the princess came back from outside, she locked herself in the room in a depressed mood and didn't even eat dinner!

Du Lianjun was worried that her daughter's body had not recovered yet and that starvation would make her condition worse, so she asked the kitchen to stew lily and bird's nest porridge and American ginseng and teal soup and send them to her.

After a while, Xue Hui came over and whispered to her, "Madam, the princess was upset today and feels bad, so she can't eat anything!"

Du Lianjun was very surprised after hearing this and asked, "Who made her angry? Didn't she go to have tea with Miss Luo during the day? What happened? What happened?"

Xuehui looked around and saw no one was around, then she leaned close to Mrs. Du's ear and said to Du Lianjun in a low voice, "When we left the teahouse today, we happened to see Mr. Jiang and a woman entering Tingyu Pavilion.

I heard that it was his newlywed wife. The princess was in a bad mood at the time and felt unwell after returning. I dare not persuade her. Would you mind going to take a look at her, Madam?"

Du Lianjun couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and a helpless look appeared in her beautiful eyes: This child is simply obsessed! For such a small matter, is it really that serious?

She is really not up to the task. She is so depressed by a small setback. How will she live after marrying into the Jiang family? !

Wouldn't he be so irritated by that little girl that he loses his appetite every day?

Du Lianjun immediately got up and went to Ninglu Garden. As soon as he entered, he saw Jingying lying face down on the bed, motionless.

She came to the bedside and asked softly, "Jingying, why don't you eat again when you haven't recovered yet?"

But Jingying acted as if she didn't hear anything and just lay there motionless.

Du Lianjun gently pushed her again, "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"

After a long while, Jingying turned around and sat up. She looked at Mrs. Du with resentment and said, "Mother, I saw Mr. Jiang and that little village girl today! They walked into Tingyu Pavilion very intimately!"

"Oh?"

Mrs. Du looked at her daughter calmly after hearing this and said calmly, "They are originally husband and wife. What's so strange about them drinking tea together?"

Unexpectedly, Jingying stared at Du angrily after hearing this, and shouted excitedly: "But I have known Mr. Jiang for such a long time, and he has never been with me anywhere! But today he was very intimate with that little country girl! How can I bear this?!"

Mrs. Du looked at her daughter speechlessly and said, "So what if you have known him for a long time? Who is it that his family won't let him marry you?

As long as he doesn't marry you, you have no right to appear in front of everyone with him!

Instead of being angry, you might as well think about how to proceed to the next step! If you can marry him, you will be the one to have tea with him today!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Jingying screamed like crazy, picked up a pillow and threw it on the bed! Then she still felt unsatisfied, so she threw the pillow to the ground, and then she tore the quilt frantically, screaming loudly: "I won't accept it! I won't accept it!"

When the maidservant and the wet nurse heard this, they rushed in to check. They saw the princess screaming with her hair disheveled. Mrs. Du tried to comfort her while saying to everyone, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and make a bowl of soothing soup. The princess just had a nightmare and was frightened!"

The maids and servants lowered their heads and retreated.

Du Lianjun hugged her disheveled daughter and comforted her repeatedly, "Good Jingying, don't get excited! There will always be a way! There will always be a way!"

Jingying leaned in Du's arms and cried loudly: "Mom, I can't stand it anymore! I have done everything I can, but the Jiang family just won't accept me. What should I do?

Do you know how upset I feel every time I go to see his grandmother? I try so hard to please her, but she just won’t accept me! What can I do…”

After hearing this, Mrs. Du couldn't help but shed tears...

How could she not know the injustice her daughter had suffered? She herself had gone through the same thing in the beginning. In order to be able to enter the palace, she had suffered so much anger and shed so many tears that she barely had a place to live now!

But he never expected that his daughter would continue to follow his old path!

This made Mrs. Du sad and helpless, but there was nothing she could do. She had chosen the path herself, and she had to finish it even if she gritted her teeth!

She stroked Jingying's hair and comforted her softly, "My dear, don't be sad. Mother knows you have tried your best!"

Jingying cried and said sadly: "Mom, I am really desperate..."

Xue Hui came in with a bowl of soothing soup, "Madam, the soup is ready."

Mrs. Du said in a deep voice: "After leaving it there, get out! Remember, don't let anyone else in!"

"Yes."

Xuehui placed the soup on the square table beside the bed and quietly walked out.

Mrs. Du brought the tranquilizing soup over, scooped up a spoonful and gently fed Jingying to drink, saying softly: "Mother knows how much pain you are in, but there is no other way. If you want to marry into a wealthy family, you must endure what ordinary people cannot endure!

In fact, you don't have to put yourself in a difficult position. As long as you don't mind your future husband's status and position, you don't have to suffer these hardships and can get married directly.

Hasn't Li Jian always been interested in you? As long as you are willing, you don't have to work so hard now. I will ask your father to give him a job, and then give you a generous dowry. When you get married, you will be the mistress of the house!

But, Jingying, are you willing? You have been strong-willed since childhood. Are you really willing to marry an incompetent man and live a miserable life?"

Mrs. Du’s words touched Jingying’s heart!

She raised her watery eyes and said bitterly, "Mom, I won't accept this! Why should I choose to marry a man who has no ability when I am so outstanding? Then all our years of trying to please others and swallowing our anger will be in vain, right?

No! I want to marry a man from a prominent family and be his principal wife! It will be worth it that you have loved me so much and suffered so much for me!"

When she spoke of the latter part, Jingying's eyes, which were almost on the verge of collapse, became cold and resolute again!

She gritted her teeth and said angrily like a madman: "I must break them up! I must break them up!"

Mrs. Du looked at her daughter's crazy state with a trace of worry in her eyes, but she had no better way, so she could only comfort her softly, "Since you are unwilling to give up, then cheer up! Don't commit suicide for such a small matter. What kind of person are you?

You have done well before, as long as you continue to look for opportunities, you will definitely get what you want!"

Jingying said painfully and helplessly: "But I have tried my best! I don't know what else I can do!"

Madam Du looked confident and said softly, "Child, starting from tomorrow, you have to go to the palace every day to pay your respects to the Concubine Dowager!"

Who would have thought that Jingying, who had calmed down, burst into tears again upon hearing this...

She shouted at Madam Du with a face full of grief and indignation, "Why, don't you think I've been humiliated enough? My father went to ask the Concubine Dowager for an arranged marriage and came back in vain, why did I go? Don't you think I've been humiliated enough?"

Looking at her daughter who was already overwhelmed by anger, Mrs. Du couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart!

If this girl was half as capable as she was back then, she wouldn't be unable to even enter the Jiang family's door until now.

She asked Jingying meaningfully, "Does entering the palace mean that I must ask for an arranged marriage?"

Jingying was stunned for a moment!

If you don't ask for an arranged marriage when entering the palace, what else do you want?

Could it be that he was dissatisfied with his life and was asking the concubine to give him some humiliation?

Mrs. Du looked at her daughter seriously and said slowly, "Since it has come to this, you should take a long-term view and start by getting close to Mr. Jiang. You should find a way to move to the Jiang family!"

Jingying thought she had heard wrongly, "Move to the Jiang family?!"

She angrily asked, "Mom, why should I move over there? Do I want to watch them being so affectionate and intimate every day and make myself unhappy?"

Mrs. Du said with a bit of condemnation in her eyes: "You are too short-sighted, you can only see the things in front of you... Since Mr. Jiang is married, and you can't let him go, you have to find a way to appear by his side more often and remind him that besides that woman, he has you as his choice!

By then, his new wife will definitely hate you and will try every means to get rid of you! If things go wrong, she will even quarrel with him! By then, you just need to wait quietly, and when they quarrel, let Mr. Jiang know that you are more considerate, gentle and sensible than his new wife!

There is no such thing as a solid relationship between husband and wife. There are always loopholes. As long as you are willing to put your heart into it, you will definitely succeed!

It's not a good idea to always ask Young Master Jiang to come and see you. It's okay once or twice, but if it happens too often, he'll get tired of it. You have to find a way to move to the Jiang family and stay for a while through the concubine!"

Hope had rekindled in Jingying's eyes, but when she heard the last sentence, it immediately dimmed...

She said with an annoyed look on her face: "The Concubine is the Princess's distant cousin, how could she be willing to help me?"

"That depends on your efforts."
