The Nine Princesses Respect[Transmigration Book]

[Previous story summary: In Chapter 33, because Empress Jiang had no favors and no children for many years?, Liang Guogong and his wife wanted their daughter Jiang Shangxi to marry into the palace and give birth to a prince with the blood of the Jiang family?.Jiang Shangxi was unwilling, but he couldn't resist, so he could only allow his marriage affairs to become a tool in the hands of his parents. 】

"Tweety, turn off the lights."

"How can this be possible!" The maid by the door looked resentful, as if she had suffered a great humiliation, she was shocked and angry, "Miss, tonight is your queen's wedding night? But..."

But it was already late at night, but the emperor came to the queen's palace for a long time.

Both she and her maid Tweety understood that he probably wouldn't come.

"It's okay."

The girl sitting by the couch spoke softly again, and then looked down at the exquisite wedding dress on her body, feeling a bit tired for no reason.

Her eyes are black and bright, her lips are plump, her nose is small and round, and she is well-born; but her brows are always slightly frowned, which is too dignified, even if she is "poetic and scholarly", she still has some age-appropriate looks. calm.

"Turn it off."

The maid had no choice but to help her lady remove the complicated jewelry from her head, and fetched water to freshen her up, then undressed her, watched her lie down, and then turned off the lights.

"The maidservant is guarding outside, if you have something to do, please call me."

Jiang Shangxi let out a "huh", and gently smoothed the corner of the quilt, even in the dark, it was meticulously smooth, and then closed his eyes.

She still remembers the ardent exhortations of her father and mother before entering the palace:

As a queen, you should always be dignified and self-restraint; when facing the Holy One, you should show the attitude of a little daughter, seduce him to favor him, and have more princes and daughters.

It's as if Jiang's family's honor and favor all depend on how many children Jiang Shangxi can have.

The entrustment of her parents, the future of the whole family... the pressure made her almost breathless.

Jiang Changxi knew what he should do at this time.

The Holy One is her husband-in-law, but he didn't set foot in her palace on the wedding night. Her reaction shouldn't have been so flat.

There are also many ways to deal with it, such as asking the emperor, sending someone to ask the queen mother for help, and sending someone to rush to send a letter to the parents to inform the situation...

But Jiang Shangxi didn't do anything, only silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The former queen was her aunt. For more than ten years, she has always regarded the Holy One as her uncle; now her uncle has suddenly become her husband, so that Jiang Shangxi is somewhat conflicted psychologically.

Thinking of her uncle, who is nearly 20 years older than her, consummating the house with her... Jiang Shangxi felt sick.

The fact that the Holy Majesty didn't come over could be regarded as meeting her wish somehow.

She didn't want to flatter him?

However, His Majesty has always regarded Jiang's family seriously, why did he suddenly do such a thing tonight?Abandoning the queen at the night of the big wedding is blatantly slapping the Jiang family in the face.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shangxi felt very contradictory in his heart. He felt that he only cared about his own likes and dislikes, disregarding the overall situation, and acted so selfishly and willfully.

"Are you ashamed of your parents' entrustment?"

"Who?" Jiang Shangxi suddenly sat up and looked around when the thoughts in his mind were clarified.

"What's the matter, miss?" Tweety, who was on guard at the door, heard the movement and asked softly, "Who is what?"

"There...someone."

"Ah?" Cui'er hurried in with a lamp, and searched carefully for a long time, but found that everything in the bedroom was as usual, not even a fly, let alone a person, "Are you haunted?"

Jiang Changxi was stunned.

Tweety is the personal maid she brought from the manor, she is loyal; with her guarding the door, no one will be able to come in.

But, did she hear wrong?Just now, a woman's voice clearly came from the room, right next to her ears.I recalled it carefully, but I couldn't remember what that voice was like at all.

"That's all." She said slowly, "I'm the one who's dying, let's go down."

"Miss, do you really not need slaves to invite the Holy One?" Tweety asked again.

"no need."

...Jiang Changxi wanted to be selfish for a while.

This is the wedding night that every girl in the boudoir looks forward to; she can't make decisions for herself, and she already has a lot of regrets for not being able to marry the person she likes.

She didn't want to consummate the house with her uncle again.

That night, Jiang Shangxi fell into a deep sleep, and did not hear any strange sounds, but had a dream.

In the dream, the little fox he had rescued before had grown into a big one, rubbing against her neck affectionately, making clear and crisp sounds.

Its fiery red fur was still as smooth and smooth as usual, so gorgeous that it almost burned people's eyes. It opened its mouth and gently bit Jiang Shangxi's finger, as if begging for food obediently.

It's a pity that Jiang Shangxi knew that all of this was not true, because as early as a few years ago, her parents would not allow her to keep it anymore, saying it was against the rules.

And the father said this only because he liked its fur and wanted to strip it off to make clothes.

How could she let the little fox suffer so much, so she had to secretly release it.

The time spent playing with it is the only happy memory in Jiang Shangxi's boring and difficult life.

So precious, yet so fleeting.

She misses it so much.

***

Before dawn the next day, Jiang Shangxi was awakened by Tweety, and then a group of maids filed in to wait for the empress to wash and dress up, and waited for everyone in the harem to come to say hello.

After one night, the fact that the Holy Majesty did not come to her palace was no longer a secret; these maids were always flattering, and when they looked at Jiang Shangxi, there was a bit of contempt mixed in.

So what about being young and beautiful?

Not to be loved.

The maid Cui'er could see it naturally, and gave these people a hard look.

While combing Jiang Shangxi's hair, he whispered in her ear, "Miss, last night the Holy One stayed with the imperial concubine."

Concubine?

Jiang Changxi knew a little about the concubines in the harem, and made preparations before entering the palace.

If it is a noble concubine, then naturally it is Concubine Shi who gave birth to the first prince? and the fifth princess. However, she has long since contracted a serious illness and went to the palace to recuperate.

But I don't know, this noble concubine is...

"The edict was just issued last night, and Empress Zhaoyuan was lifted up as a noble concubine." Cui'er's face was ugly, "there are four concubines, noble, succinct, virtuous, and virtuous, of course there is only one concubine; now that Concubine Shi Gui is still here, there is Another concubine..."

Jiang Changxi couldn't help but stare blankly.

It's ridiculous.

She knew that this Yun Zhaoyuan was the daughter of Jinxian from a small country affiliated to her. After entering the palace for more than a month, she became a special favor, which made the Holy Majesty linger every night; but she didn't expect the degree to be so exaggerated. Given his background, he shouldn't have been granted such a high position.

Jiang Changxi didn't have any feelings for the Holy Majesty, so naturally he didn't feel it at this moment? What kind of jealousy did he mean, but he couldn't help being a little curious.

What kind of beauty is...?Only then can people be so obsessed.

But wait a little longer, she will be able to see.

After the new queen was first sealed off, all the concubines of the palace came to say hello, Yingyingyanyan's beauties of all colors flocked in, saluted Jiang Shangxi, and stood up and took her seat under her nod.

It's just that the queen lowered her head, and the seat closest to her was still vacant, and no one dared to sit on it.

Jiang Shangxi cast her eyes on the second-best concubine De:

"I don't know who hasn't arrived yet?"

As soon as I said it, I already had the answer in my heart.

Just now everyone has reported their names to her, only one person is missing, that is Concubine Yun Gui.

Concubine De smiled bitterly and said: "Empress, how can the courtiers and concubines have the guts to come late on the day of your first appointment and flout the rules? Naturally, it is the one who is specially favored..."

"Who is Defei empress talking about?"

Jiang Shangxi sat at the first place, facing the door, and when he looked up, he saw a fiery red figure striding into the hall.

Not to mention concubines, ordinary ladies in official families can't walk arrogantly, but this person was born to walk recklessly, without any trace of dignified and virtuous.

Today is a scorching summer day, but the concubines are also dressed very formally and cumbersomely because they came to see the empress.

But this person is different, he only has a thin concubine-colored dress on his body, which tightly outlines his exquisite figure; although it is not revealing, but the slender and fair neck is wrapped around the opening of the clothes, just one glance can make you feel People blush and heartbeat.

This is the case with Jiang Shangxi.

Before she had time to look at the man's appearance, she subconsciously moved her eyes away.

"Have you seen Yun Ni? Been to the empress."

The man stood in the hall and saluted; when Jiang Shangxi looked over again, Yun Ni stood up charmingly, with a pair of raised fox eyes, smiling and staring at her intently.

She didn't comb her hair in a bun as a concubine should. She just used a hairpin to pull it up casually, and a few strands of hair hung loosely on her cheeks, making her skin whiter than snow.

It is indeed...it is stunning.

Jiang Shangxi felt her face was burning, but what she said blurted out was not the case:

"presumptuous!"

In fact, she couldn't tell if she was really angry, or if she was just using it to cover up the big blush on her face that she didn't even need to look at.

"How dare you stare at me like that? Really? There are no rules!"

Yun Ni has always been eloquent, and everyone has been frustrated by her; seeing the empress empress confronting her when she first arrived, they can't help but secretly wait for a good show.

"Oh."

Unexpectedly, Yun Ni didn't say anything to refute, but just pursed her red lips and saluted softly again,

"If the Empress doesn't like it, Yun Ni won't stare at you."

Perhaps because Yun Ni came from a foreign country, listening to her speak Daning's official dialect was always a bit strange, and it wasn't that there was something wrong with the pronunciation, it was just... an inexplicable feeling of jerkyness.

Although these words were still not very respectful, compared to Yun Ni's usual arrogant attitude, it was quite rare, and it made everyone suspicious.

Why did he suddenly give in to the empress?

But Jiang Shangxi naturally didn't know this; to her, Yun Ni was still extremely rude.

It's just that today, after all, it's not appropriate to make too much noise, and she is not a person who cares about every detail; since Yun Ni voluntarily backed down, Jiang Shangxi had to step down.

"...a seat."

***

Jiang Changxi didn't know the concubines well, so she didn't have much to talk about except recognizing people; she also controlled the time herself, so she didn't want to keep them for too long, and after only two sticks of incense, she allowed everyone to return to the palace.

The phoenix crown was adorned with countless pearls and precious stones, and it was heavy on her head, making her uncomfortable; as soon as she got up, she almost lost her balance due to the heavy weight on her head, and it was difficult to walk because of the high pads of her shoes .

"Tweety, come and help me."

This is what Jiang Shangxi wanted to say, but when the words came to his lips, it turned into...

"Yun Ni, help me."

The moment she heard her own voice, she froze in place.

Is this really what I said?

Yun Ni was the last one to leave. She had already reached the door, but when she heard this, she looked back and smiled? She rolled her eyes:

"Huh? As ordered."

"No." Jiang Shangxi quickly changed his words, signaling Yun Ni to stay away from him, "I made a slip of the tongue for a while, so the imperial concubine doesn't have to."

What happened to her?Why can Tweety be called Yunni by mistake? !

"Oh?"

Yun Ni squatted down a few steps away from her, the hall was empty, and those maids had disappeared, at this moment, only their queen and concubine were left.

"What does the Empress want to say?"

She began to stare straight at Jiang Shangxi again.

The corners of Yun Ni's eyes and chin are sharp and delicate, and her partial lips are as gorgeous as a peony, which makes the light amber color in her eyes more attractive; even her hair is a little lighter. After that, there is even a faint red color.

I don't know if it's a scent of powder or something, and after a little sniff, my mind is swayed.

Before Jiang Shangxi had time to blush, she fell into a trance for a while, as if her mind was captured, her mouth opened and closed involuntarily, losing control of her body:

"Yunni..."

Yun Ni propped her chin, and took her leisure time: "Yes."

"……hug me."

The author has something to say: the second pair is here, and I personally think it is very fragrant!
