093 Admitted to the East Palace as a side concubine for the prince
Concubine Jing was three days later in the evening, only to find that her waist was thick, the palace banquet, you have to make up according to the quality, but when Aunt Huai waited for her to wear the concubine's court clothes, she found that the plum blossom plate buckle on the side could not be buckled at all.
Aunt Ahuai was in a hurry, and she pulled a little hard, and Concubine Jing had just had dinner again, only to feel a strangulation on her waist, she frowned unhappily, and said, "Why is it not good, if you miss the banquet, you will have to eat and hang up in the palace." ”
"Hui, Hui Niangniang's words......" Aunt Huai's face was complicated, she glanced at Concubine Jing cautiously, and said, "Have you eaten too much recently?" The buckles of this court dress are a little unbuttonable! ”
When Concubine Jing heard this, she lowered her head, and subconsciously looked at her waist, which was not tight, she was startled when she saw it, you must know that this court dress was just made a few years ago, at that time, in order to look solemn, she also deliberately let the royal embroidery room pinch the waist two inches wider, but now she not only holds the two inches of relaxation strongly, but even the plum blossom buckle on the side can not be buckled!
How much weight has she gained?!
She pursed her pale lips tightly, and her eyes were filled with black clouds that were about to destroy the city.
"Why don't the slaves remove this plum blossom buckle and put it on the edge of the court dress?" Aunt Ah Huai was afraid that she wouldn't be able to catch up with the big feast, so she thought for a moment and tried to propose.
There's no way around it! Concubine Jing nodded helplessly, "You go get a needle and thread!" ”
"Yes, Niangniang," Aunt Ah Huai agreed, and retreated, and not long after, she took a sewing kit over, first picked out the gold thread on the plum blossom buckle with a very thin hook, and then compared it to Concubine Jing's waist, and sewed the buckle back into the right position......
After buttoning the buckle, she took a closer look at the needle and thread, and said, "Don't worry, that is, to deal with this feast, after today, the slave maid immediately instructed the embroidery lady in the imperial embroidery room to redo a court dress for you." ”
Concubine Jing said "um", and walked towards the vertical bronze mirror next to the makeup mirror table with a dark face.
But when did you start getting fat? She remembers that her diet has been very regular in the past six months, and she only eats half a bowl at most...... Could it be that there is something wrong with her stomach and she can't restrain it?
Thinking like this, she looked sideways at Aunt Huai, "How long is it until the feast starts?" ”
"If you go back to your mother, there will be nearly an hour."
"It's too late," Concubine Jing's eyes flickered, and she ordered, "You go to the Tai Hospital right now, and invite the hospital to the palace!" ”
"Whoa." Aunt Ah Huai could guess what her master meant, she agreed, and then retreated outside, and sent a little eunuch with quick legs and feet to invite Liang Yuanzheng from the Tai Hospital.
Liang Yuan was on duty today, and when he heard Concubine Jing's invitation, he immediately rushed to Chonghua Palace with the medicine box on his back.
After arriving at Chonghua Palace, Aunt Ah Huai took him into the inner room, and when he saw Concubine Jing for the first time, his eyes showed a little surprise.
Concubine Jing caught it, glanced at him without being angry, and said forcefully, "Liang Yizheng has seen something, you might as well say it directly." ”
Doctor Liang said that he was a medical officer of the Tai Hospital, but in front of the real royal people, in the final analysis, he was a minion, he didn't dare to hide it, bowed his head and arched his hand, and said, "Niangniang seems to have gained a lot of weight, and her complexion is much better." ”
"Really?" Concubine Jing raised her eyebrows, stretched out a snow-white wrist at him, and motioned for him to step forward and take his pulse, "This palace wants to know why I have gained so much weight." ”
Liang Yizheng also knew that the harem woman valued beauty, he stepped forward on his knees, put his wrist on Concubine Jing's wrist through the handkerchief, and after a while, he withdrew his hand and said, "There is nothing wrong with Niangniang's body, as for the fat many, maybe Niangniang has eaten more recently and moved less." ”
Concubine Jing didn't believe it, her brows furrowed tightly, "There really isn't any problem with the body of this palace?" ”
Doctor Liang bowed his head, "Weichen dares to guarantee with his life." ”
Concubine Jing saw that Liang Yizheng was so serious, and she had to believe it if she didn't believe it, she glanced at him lazily, and waved her hand helplessly, "Since this is the case, then the palace will soon stay in Liang Yuanzheng, Ah Huai, send Liang Yuan Zheng out for this palace!" ”
"Yes, sissy." Aunt Huai agreed, and made a gesture of invitation to Liang Yuanzheng.
Liang Yuanzheng arched his hand again, and then bowed his body and walked out with Aunt Huai.
On the other side, Kunning Palace.
Lu Nianjin also entered the palace today, and she and Jiang Rongyue went to the queen's palace before and after.
At this time, the queen was looking at her and asked softly, "Why don't you bring Ji'er into the palace too, I haven't seen him in this palace for a long time." ”
Lu Nianjin smiled, not soft or hard, "After returning to my mother, Ji'er's body has been very poor since he was poisoned last time, and before he is three years old, it is better to recuperate and not go out to see the wind." ”
When the queen heard her say this, her quiet and gentle face stiffened slightly, and she coughed lightly with a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and said, "Jin'er...... Are you still blaming Hongu? ”
"The daughter-in-law doesn't dare," Lu Nianjin said lightly, the queen listened, but her face was even worse, she coughed hard again, and sighed, "You still blame the palace after all." ”
"......" Lu Nianjin didn't know how to answer, so he simply stopped talking.
It was Jiang Rongyue, seeing that the queen was uncomfortable like this, she gently held the queen's hand and said to Lu Nianjin, "Cousin-in-law, aunt, she is the grandmother of the little emperor's grandson, and she definitely doesn't want the little emperor's grandson to suffer!" The little emperor and grandson were poisoned, and the torment in her heart was no less than that of her cousin-in-law......"
Hearing her say this, Lu Nianjin took a deep breath and said patiently, "I said it all, I don't blame the queen." "So you can't understand people?
Jiang Rongyue bit her tender lower lip, "Can the cousin-in-law take a look for my aunt, my aunt has been coughing for several days, and she has drunk a lot of medicine, but she has never seen better!" ”
"Okay!" Lu Nianjin said, stood up and walked towards the queen.
However, the queen was a little embarrassed, waved her hand and refused with a smile, "I won't work for you, it's just a little cold, and it will be good in a few days." ”
"The daughter-in-law obeys." Lu Nianjin said, glancing at Jiang Rongyue with a vague gaze, as if to say: It was the queen who disagreed, and now you can't blame me?
Jiang Rongyue was looked at like this, and a touch of embarrassment appeared on her face, "It's my fault, and it's messed up if I care." ”
Lu Nianjin didn't say anything, and the queen gently patted her niece's hand.
In the main hall, the atmosphere was a little stiff.
After a long time, the queen changed the topic and asked about Mrs. Jiang's condition.
Lu Nianjin glanced at the queen, and said lightly, "In two months, my grandfather's leg will recover better, and I will come to the door to give him an injection." ”
The queen nodded with satisfaction, "You don't have to forget about it." ”
Lu Nianjin smiled, a little meaningful, "The daughter-in-law will not forget." ”
Then, silence followed.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that Yao Huang walked in from outside, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Empress Qiyu, the feast has begun, the emperor has sent someone over, please move to Zhanghua Palace." ”
"This palace knows," the queen smiled and glanced at Lu Nianjin and Jiang Rongyue again, "Let's go." ”
"I'm holding my aunt!" Jiang Rongyue took a step forward and held the queen, but the queen didn't look at her, but looked at Lu Nianjin meaningfully, "Jin'er, you'll help Rongrong later, right?" ”
Lu Nianjin knew that the queen was talking about harmony, so she nodded imperceptibly.
If Princess Huyang used any conspiracy, it would be nothing for her to help Jiang Rongyue, after all, she was Xiao Xun's cousin, and the two of them had no deep hatred, if she had to go to the place where birds don't in the country alone, she would actually be quite willing to kick Huyang away.
The three of them rode all the way to Zhanghua Palace, and when they arrived, Concubine Lu and Concubine Jing had already arrived.
Lu Nianjin only glanced at it casually, and noticed that Concubine Jing's waist was a lot rounder and her chin was square.
Looking at her like this, she felt a sneer in her heart, this is just the beginning, she will get fatter and fatter in the future, until it becomes difficult to even walk.
She thought so, but she didn't delay saluting the emperor on her face.
After the salute, the queen went to sit next to the emperor, Jiang Rongyue had no family to attend the banquet, so she had to follow her to the East Palace, looking like a side concubine in the East Palace.
The two sat down beside Xiao Xun respectively, and when Xiao Xun saw Lu Nianjin, his face was still a little soft, but as soon as Jiang Rongyue beside him spoke, his brows immediately wrinkled, he glanced at her coldly, and turned to Lu Nianjin and said, "You sit here in the palace, and the palace sits there in you." ”
Lu Nianjin didn't know what he had, and he was confused, "Why?" Isn't it good to sit now? ”
Xiao Xun glared at her, "If you want to come over, you will come!" ”
"Oh!" Lu Nianjin was murdered by him, so he responded sullenly, got up and changed seats with him.
On the other side, Jiang Rongyue was so disgusted that her face was black! How can the prince's cousin be like this, not to mention anything else, she is also the first beauty in the capital, does she treat beauties like this?
Lu Nianjin was close to Jiang Rongyue, and noticed the grievances and anger in her heart, so she reacted in hindsight, why did Xiao ask why she changed seats with her.
She laughed dryly, patted Jiang Rongyue's hand, and explained, "Don't pay attention to your cousin, he has always loved sweets, and the white sugar cake in the seat over there is his favorite." Whatever he is, come, we two drink! As she spoke, she picked up a wine bottle and stuffed another one for Jiang Rongyue.
Jiang Rongyue stiffly held the wine bottle, in the end, she didn't refute Lu Nianjin's face, and when she went down the stairs, the two touched the wine bottle, and drank back and forth before the atmosphere eased up.
Xiao Xun looked at the women around him who only cared about Jiang Rongyue, but ignored him, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, and secretly held her waist and eyes under the cover of the case, and pinched it lightly and heavily.
"Ahh ”
"No, it's okay," Lu Nianjin smiled awkwardly, "It's that there seem to be bugs in the hall, and I was bitten just now." ”
"Bugs?" Jiang Rongyue looked at Lu Nianjin suspiciously, "How is this possible, for the sake of the big banquet, my aunt asked a hundred palace people to clean up here for three days, besides, my cousin-in-law didn't have incense balls on her body, how dare insects approach you?" ”
"Oh, that's probably what I'm feeling wrong, come on, let's keep drinking......" she said, pouring another glass of wine and shoving the bottle into her hand without refusal.
Jiang Rongyue was caught off guard and could only sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman.
By the time the emperor announced that the prince had come to see him, the two of them had already drunk a whole pot of wine.
Xiao Xun was already expressionless when Lu Nianjin was angry.
After several rounds of communication, the "famous" prince finally walked in from outside......
Jiang Rongyue and Lu Nianjin also finally put down the wine bottle in their hands.
Jiang Rongyue had half a mouthful of wine in her mouth that she hadn't swallowed, and after seeing the prince of the widow, she almost used all her strength to pinch Lu Nianjin so that she didn't squirt out.
He is five feet tall and has a strong build, a dark complexion, and vigorous hair...... Where does this look like a prince, not even like a human? It is the black bear spirit that runs out of the deep mountains and old forests.
"Light, light, light......" Lu Nianjin was pinched by Jiang Rongyue and gasped, she didn't have to look at it, she knew that her thighs must have been pinched out of purple beans by her.
"......" and Jiang Rongyue, when she heard Lu Nianjin's suggestion, she let go and apologized in a low voice, "Cousin-in-law, I really didn't mean it, I was just too shocked, I was going to pinch my thigh, but I don't know how, I pinched your leg!" ”
"I understand you!" Lu Nianjin patted her hand lightly, and said sympathetically, if she knew that she might marry such a "prince" like a black bear spirit, it is estimated that her reaction would be greater.
At this time, the black bear spirit ...... Oh no, the prince of the Japanese Dynasty has already finished saluting the emperor in a broken official language, his name is Akihito, because he admired the Yun Dynasty and asked, so he gave himself the name of the Yun Dynasty, Mo Mingren.
Lu Nianjin felt that this name was not bad, it was very in line with the appearance of the prince of the Japanese king, and he could be called a person like his name.
The emperor didn't know how to praise him when he looked at such a prince, and he held back for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence - Mo Mingren, the prince is really as good as his name.
Mo Mingren didn't know much about Han culture, and when he heard this, he was very happy to accept the emperor's praise.
After the greetings, he got straight to the point and proposed the matter of harmony.
After he made this request, before the emperor and the queen could speak, Lu He stepped forward and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been a tradition of establishing diplomatic relations with relatives, and the minister thinks that my Yun Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom are friendly neighbors, since the prince proposed peace, then we should grant the prince's request, and make the most beautiful noble daughter of the Yun Dynasty a princess and marry the prince, so as to promote the eternal friendship between the Yun Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom." ”
Besides, the emperor, although he usually doesn't like Lu He and Lu Guifei, but now Lu He's words have spoken to his heart.
is just as Lu Nianjin and Xiao Xun guessed, no matter how bad Princess Huyang is, she is also his biological daughter, her own child is not good, just teach her, how can she be forced to die because she made a mistake once!
As for Jiang Rongyue, she was first a courtier, and then the queen's niece, she could be named a princess and marry Huyang, that was her honor, and it was also the honor of the Jiang family.
However, the queen sat beside him, and she was furious, and he could not immediately agree, so he glanced at the courtiers below, and said, "What do you think?" ”
The ministers of Lu He's faction stood up one after another, the lord of Shengping County is the first beauty of the Yun Dynasty, it is best for such an excellent noble girl to go to the country and relatives, as for Princess Huyang, she is too young, and she has always been rude and willful, so she should be taught by Lu Guifei for a few years, and then decline.
Lu Dang's every word scratched the itch of the emperor, and the emperor stroked his beard lightly, looked at the queen, and asked meaningfully, "What does the queen think?" ”
The queen has already seen the lip service of the courtiers of Lu He's faction, and she knows that if she continues to pull the skin, she will definitely not be able to pull them alone, so she simply sank, and said at the bottom of the kettle, "Your Majesty, if the niece of the concubine can share the worries with the emperor and the pro-widow country, the concubine is naturally willing, but ......"
"Just what?" The emperor frowned slightly, and looked at the queen and asked in a deep voice.
The queen looked in the direction of Lu Nianjin and Xiao Xun, and said, "It's just that before today, that is, when Jin'er entered the palace last time, she had already mentioned to her concubine that she wanted to include Rongrong into the East Palace to be Xun'er's side concubine, and Rongrong also agreed." ”
"Really?" After listening to the queen's words, the emperor's brows furrowed even tighter, he raised his eyelids and looked directly at the bottom of the hall.
His gaze fell on Lu Nianjin's table.
Lu Nianjin noticed the emperor's gaze, and immediately felt like a mouse locked in a bellows, angry at both ends.
She was silent and did not reply for a long time. The emperor paused for a moment, and then asked by name, "Crown princess, is it?" ”
Listening to the emperor's words, Jiang Rongyue on the side panicked first, she clutched her snow-white leaf tightly, for fear that Lu Nianjin would deny it, she bit her lip and stood up suddenly, her eyes flashed and said, "Back to the emperor, when my cousin-in-law entered the palace last time, she did mention this matter, and the queen mother and the courtiers also agreed." ”
"Please Emperor Mingjian!" At the end, she made a big gift and added another sentence.
The emperor listened to her words, but there was no reaction, he still looked at Lu Nianjin with heavy eyes, waiting for her answer.
And after Jiang Rongyue spoke, Lu Nianjin felt that she was becoming more and more embarrassed, her hesitant eyes met the emperor, and her delicate red lips like roses in the Western Regions pursed vigorously.
Silence spread in the hall, and just when she thought that she could only solve the current predicament by fainting, Xiao Xun beside her stood up quietly, held her hand tightly, turned to the emperor and queen, and said loudly, "Absolutely, nothing, this, thing!" ”
"Prince, you say it again!" When the emperor heard Xiao Xun's words, his eyes were bright like a drowning man seeing a savior.
Xiao Xun looked at the first emperor and queen, and after a moment of silence, he repeated what he had just said, "This palace said that there is no such thing!" The queen mother never mentioned that she wanted to marry the lord of Shengping to the palace, and the crown princess of the palace never agreed to this. ”
In the main hall, the emperor listened to Xiao Xun's words, as if he had taken a reassuring pill. But the queen beside him had red eyes in an instant, she looked at Xiao Xun who stood up below in disbelief and anger, and never thought that it would be her biological son who ruined her hard work in the end.
She bit her lower lip tightly and looked at him resentfully, almost using all her strength to prevent a mouthful of blood from spurting out.
"What do you say, Queen?" Just when she was the most shameless, the emperor looked at her coldly and asked.
The queen sat on the phoenix seat, and at this moment, she knew that it was too late to explain, and all the dissatisfaction and estrangement had already been planted.
She stood up weakly, bypassed the table, knelt down in front of the emperor, and said with chattering teeth, "The concubine knows her mistake, ask the emperor to surrender!" ”
……
"Come on, bring the queen down!" The emperor didn't want to look at the queen anymore because of what happened just now, he glanced at Father-in-law Fu and commanded in a cold voice.
Father-in-law Fu answered, called the two palace maids to step forward, and helped the queen to walk outside.
"Shengping County Lord also retreat!" After the queen left, the emperor glanced at Jiang Rongyue again and said coldly.
Jiang Rongyue knew that the general trend had gone when the queen knelt down, and at that moment, she no longer defended, but just glanced at Lu Nianjin in despair, and retreated.
Lu Nianjin watched her leave, and for some reason, her last look always made her feel a little numb.
"Sit down!" Xiao Xun saw that she didn't belong to her thoughts, so he gently pinched her palm and said soothingly, "With this palace here, I will never let anyone embarrass you." ”
Lu Nianjin knew that Xiao Xun was telling the truth, but her heart still couldn't settle down, she looked at him secretly, and asked in a low voice, "You said Jiang Rongyue...... She's not going to kill herself, is she? ”
"She won't." Xiao Xun shook his head and said firmly, "Even if she wants to kill herself, she will wait until after marrying into the Japanese Kingdom." ”
"Really?"
Xiao Xun nodded, "What any noble girl in the capital carries is not only their own future and future, but also the entire family!" ”
"Jiang Rongyue is the same, the Jiang family is so depressed now, if she dies again, then the Jiang family will be completely hopeless, but she is married, and the Jiang family may still have a chance of life. When she figured it out, she knew what to do. ”
Lu Nianjin was relieved when she heard Xiao Xun say this, she exhaled softly and said, "I hope!" ”
After that, she was always worried about the second half of the feast.
On the other side, Jiang Rongyue was imprisoned in Kunning Palace with the queen.
In the unlit hall, Jiang Rongyue knelt in front of the queen, crying in despair and guilt, "Auntie, I'm sorry for you, if it wasn't for Rongrong, why would you not be able to identify your cousin and sister-in-law, and be reprimanded by the emperor like ......?"
The queen heard Jiang Rongyue mention Lu Nianjin, in the dark, a vicious cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and trembled, "That woman, she was blind in this palace at the beginning, and she was blind in this palace......
will hire such a woman who doesn't care about the overall situation to come back!
Jiang Rongyue cried even more, and said sentence by sentence, "It's no wonder that my aunt ......."
