Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

"Sister, you have so many jewels, why don't I see you wearing them normally?"

"I don't like these things, but my mother keeps buying them for me. This time, she even specifically asked me to bring them so that I can dress like the noble ladies in the imperial capital. I don't want to imitate others!"

After Ji Shuangshuang finished speaking, she picked up the collar, unbuttoned it and put it around Chang Ru's neck.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"Sister, don't move." Ji Shuangshuang took off all the bad hairpins on Chang Ru's head and inserted her own hairpins into Chang Ru's hair.

"Sister, you see, these things are more suitable for you. These things will just gather dust here. Why don't you wear them? Just think of it as helping your sister." Ji Shuangshuang pulled Chang Ru's hand and acted coquettishly.

"No, no, these things are too valuable, I can't take them." Chang Ru hurriedly tried to take them.

"I have accepted my sister's things, why doesn't she accept mine? Since my sister doesn't want my things, then she doesn't want me as her sister either."

"How can I not have you as my sister!" Chang Ru said immediately.

"Okay, that means sister has accepted it. Hurry up and pack it up for sister." Ji Shuangshuang shouted generously.

The people around Chang Ru immediately helped to put it away.

"Sister, no, no." Chang Ru was still making excuses.

"Hurry up and help your sister get it back first." Ji Shuangshuang urged.

Chang Ru's men picked up these things and ran away, showing their great foresight at this moment.

"You guys..." Chang Ru looked embarrassed.

"Sister, please stop making excuses." Ji Shuangshuang continued to persuade.

"Okay, thank you for your kindness, sister." After saying this, Chang Ru suddenly knelt in front of Ji Shuangshuang.

"Sister, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Ji Shuangshuang hurried to support Chang Ru.

"Sister, please save my life." Chang Ru said sincerely with tears in her eyes.

"Sister, if you have anything to say, please get up and talk." Ji Shuangshuang helped Chang Ru up with difficulty.

"Sister, I want to seek your protection. I am in a dilemma now. The emperor will not let me go and will not let me give birth to the child smoothly. The emperor cares about you so much, and you have General Ji to protect you. I believe he will definitely give me a way out."

"Sister, the emperor has told me that he wants to make me the queen. I will definitely protect you."

"No, sister, the situation is urgent now. The emperor is going to get rid of the baby in my belly soon. If I lose the baby, I will die."

"What should we do then?" Ji Shuangshuang was anxious.

"Sister, aren't you going to meet General Ji tomorrow? Just help me pass a message to General Ji, and maybe, I can be saved."

"What message do you want to convey, sister?"

"The child in my belly is the Grand Empress Dowager's bargaining chip against the Emperor."

"Is that all you need to say?"

"Yes, that's all it takes." Chang Ru nodded gently.

"Okay, I will definitely convey this message to you! Sister, don't worry, I will also ask my father to save you."

"Thank you, sister. It is my great honor to meet you."

……

The next morning, General Ji and his wife arrived at the imperial capital.

In the court, General Ji walked straight to the front and knelt down to salute.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

Xiao Wenxuan walked down from the dragon throne and personally helped General Ji up.

"General Ji has come a long way and you must have worked hard on the journey."

"The emperor has summoned me to court, and I wish I could ride as fast as I can to see him. How can I say it's hard work?"

"When I was young, the late emperor told me about General Ji's prestige. A few days ago, Shuangshuang won three games in a row in horse racing, archery and jockey in the palace. Many men felt inferior to her. She is indeed the daughter raised by the general. Shuangshuang was very happy to hear that the general and his wife came to the imperial capital together. After the general and his wife are settled in the temporary palace, I will let her go and reunite with the general and his wife."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding of my longing for my daughter." After General Ji said this, he looked behind the curtain.

Knowing that the person sitting behind her was the Empress Dowager, he was about to salute her, but the Emperor held his arm.

"General Ji, I'll have someone send you back to the palace first. Shuangshuang can't wait to see you." After Xiao Wenxuan said this, he immediately called the eunuch on duty.

"Send General Ji to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing the emperor's firm attitude and thinking that he had completely abandoned the Empress Dowager, General Ji didn't care so much.

It was understandable that he was a general who had been away from home all year round and had no idea what was going on in the court, let alone that the Empress Dowager was sitting behind the curtain.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now." General Ji bowed and left.

If the Empress Dowager's reminiscing with General Nan yesterday made the Emperor lose face, then today the Emperor and General Ji, the father-in-law and son-in-law, were getting along so well that he didn't give the Empress Dowager any face at all.

Even General Ji completely ignored the existence of the Empress Dowager.

Just from this point, everyone felt the urgency of the situation.

……

Palace.

General Ji and Madam Ji had just settled down when they heard a voice from outside.

"The royal concubine has arrived."

"General, our daughter is here!" Mrs. Ji hurried out.

Ji Shuangshuang was sitting in a sedan chair, carried by eight eunuchs, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. She was also wearing a red dress today, but it was a gorgeous dress. Her hair was tied into a bun and intertwined with pearls and jade, looking very wealthy.

Ji almost didn't recognize him.

General Ji tugged at her sleeve and said, "Quick, salute the Imperial Concubine."

Only then did Ji react.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine." The two said in unison.

"Father, Mother! What are you doing?" Ji Shuangshuang hurriedly got off the sedan chair and went to help General Ji and his wife.

"This is as it should be. You are now the Imperial Concubine. If we don't pay our respects, we will be disrespectful."

"I don't care about these rules!" Ji Shuangshuang said, and threw herself into Ji's arms, "Mother, I miss you so much."

"Mother misses you, too."

"Don't stand outside, go inside and talk." General Ji reminded.

Mrs. Ji took Ji Shuangshuang's hand and walked into the house.

General Ji ordered his men to guard outside and called Ji Shuangshuang to come over.

"Didn't you say in your letter that you wanted to marry Xiao Yan'an? How did you enter the palace and become a concubine?" General Ji asked his doubts directly.

"My daughter was plotted against! Father, Ji Chuhe was afraid that I would marry Xiao Yan'an and threaten her position, so she plotted against me losing my virginity to the emperor on the training ground. Later, my cousin, the princess, advised me to go with the flow and not offend the emperor, so I entered the palace."

Madam Ji was very satisfied when she saw her daughter's appearance. "General, I think it's not bad for my daughter to be a concubine. Look at how glorious our daughter was just now. Why should she be a concubine of the prince? Even if we get rid of Ji Chuhe and let her make room for our daughter, it would still be unfair to our daughter."
