Chapter 209 Concubine Rou's Warning

In the small pavilion next to Rouyi Palace, Concubine Rou stood up and ordered the maid to prepare to eat shit, while Ye Lingxi looked at the flowers and plants in the garden outside the pavilion. Some of them were given to Concubine Rou by her mother back then. Before the family collapsed, Concubine Rou had a good relationship with her aunt. She was much younger than her mother, but because of her aunt, her mother was also kind to her. Knowing that she liked flowers, she gave her many famous products.

"The princess also likes flowers and plants?" Seeing Ye Lingxi staring at the flowers and plants outside, Concubine Rou couldn't help asking.

Ye Lingxi came back to her senses, saw Concubine Rou sitting down opposite her, and said indifferently: "I can't say I like it, but I was just wondering why my uncle wanted to confer the title of Concubine Rou on your mother. It deserves the word 'soft'. These flowers and plants are well taken care of by the empress, and raising flowers and plants is the most tempering of a person's temperament."

"The princess is joking, I just have nothing to do in this palace, so I can only grow flowers and plants to pass the time." Concubine Rou said with a smile.

Ye Lingxi shook her head, "Your Majesty, it's better not to say that. If you don't know, you may think that your Majesty is blaming Uncle for not coming to Rouyi Palace."

Concubine Rou was taken aback, and looked at Ye Lingxi in surprise, obviously she didn't expect her to say that, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the princess has seen something." She raised her head and looked into the distance, sighed, " The emperor has a lot of people in the harem, but the one who really spread the name of the favorite concubine is Concubine Qi, and the name of the favorite concubine of Qi is mostly exaggerated by herself. Before the queen of Chu was still there, the emperor came to the harem for a long time. Many, but because of respect for the empress, the days in the harem of Chu are a little more. After the death of the empress Chu, the emperor was also exposed to the rain and dew in the harem, but the rain and dew were just going to the concubine's palace with heirs once a month. Twice, I was lucky enough to be assigned two or three times. As for Concubine Qi, who was young and beautiful, there were also four or five times. However, this is not considered a special favor in the history books. But compared to other people, Concubine Qi's four Five times is already a lot. It's just that she, who is the most favored, has never had a child."

Ye Lingxi looked at the mocking look on Concubine Rou's mouth, and suddenly said, "Why are you telling me these things?"

Concubine Rou looked at Ye Lingxi fixedly, shook her head, and sighed, "I don't know why I want to tell you these things, but some words have been buried in my heart for too long, and I can't spit them out. And , I don’t know why, when I see you, I always feel like I saw another person.”

"My mother?" Ye Lingxi asked tentatively with her eyebrows twitching.

Concubine Rou shook her head, "No, in fact, I don't think you are similar to Yaoguang. What I mean is your temperament. Yaoguang's temperament is too rigid. The so-called rigidity is easy to break. This is probably the reason for Yaoguang's early death. , she was unwilling to complain in her heart, and she couldn't let it go, so that she died prematurely because of smoldering in her heart. She died of heart disease. But you are not, you obviously know how to weigh the pros and cons better than your mother, you know what to do is more beneficial to yourself, and obviously Every choice you've made so far has made your status even higher."

"Is your empress saying that I am more scheming than my mother?" Ye Lingxi smiled slightly, and a gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Concubine Rou chuckled, "In Liyang City, if there is no scheming, who can survive?! And this palace is a place that cannibalize people without spit out bones. If you don't change yourself, don't let yourself be good at calculating, then She can only be calculated to die by others, just like that person, she is the most holy and flawless snow lotus in this palace, she blooms beautifully, but withers quickly."

"Who?" Ye Lingxi frowned suddenly, vaguely feeling that Concubine Rou would say something secret.Of course, she knew the dangers in the palace. When her aunt was alive, none of those concubines tried to make things difficult for her aunt, just to put herself and her son on the throne.

This time, Concubine Rou didn't answer, she took the snacks from the maid, put them in front of Ye Lingxi, smiled slightly, "This is some snacks I learned in my early years, the Eighth Prince doesn't like them very much on weekdays, So I will eat it myself, you can taste it and see if it tastes good."

Ye Lingxi looked at these desserts made of flowers. She must have learned it from her mother. When she thought of her mother, her attitude towards Concubine Rou couldn't be tough.

She picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite.

"Is it delicious?" Concubine Rou asked with a smile.

Ye Lingxi smiled and nodded, "It's delicious."

"It's good that it's delicious. I'll have someone prepare some for you to eat later." The smile on Concubine Rou's face widened, she was obviously very satisfied with the result.

Ye Lingxi was about to refuse, but Concubine Rou had already ordered the maid.She sighed, this is probably the only thing a lonely woman can do, so it doesn't matter if she accepts it.

"Your mother didn't like to do these things the most before. Her hands were not good at fireworks, but in horseback riding and archery, many men are inferior to her." Concubine Rou turned her head to Ye Ling after ordering the maid. Xi said with a smile.

Ye Lingxi lowered her eyes and said lightly: "I guess the empress didn't just want to tell me these things when she called me over. You mentioned my mother many times, and it happens that I also have many things I want to ask my empress. In the empress's heart What kind of person is my mother?"

"It seems that you are very interested in your mother's past." Concubine Rou sighed, "I guess you asked the Queen Mother about your mother's affairs."

"It seems that the empress has already guessed the result." Ye Lingxi said indifferently.

Concubine Rou smiled softly, "There is no need to guess the result." A look of confusion appeared on her gentle face, "The Queen Mother only has your mother as a daughter, and she has always regarded your mother as the tip of her heart. Before your mother was born, The emperor has already been raised by the empress dowager, so, among the many brothers and sisters, only your mother is regarded as his own sister by the emperor. It's a pity..." At this point, she frowned suddenly, but stopped talking.

"What a pity?" Ye Lingxi frowned, looking at Concubine Rou.

Concubine Rou shook her head, looked at Ye Lingxi, changed the topic and said, "Why doesn't the princess like His Royal Highness King Jing?"

Ye Lingxi froze for a moment, then frowned, "Why should I like him?" Why did everyone ask her this kind of question? What kind of poison did Qin Jingyuan put on them to make them think that marrying him would ensure her to be safe for the rest of her life? worry free.

Seeing Ye Lingxi's impatient expression, Concubine Rou smiled, "His Royal Highness King Jing is a good boy, marrying him will definitely not let you suffer in the future, as for why, you will know later, Don't disappoint the Queen Mother's hard work."

"If you rely on a man in exchange for your own safety, don't you think it's too superficial? If this man changes his mind in the future. There are groups of concubines like the emperor, even if the rain and dew are evenly exposed, I am afraid that all the concubines I also have complaints in my heart." Ye Lingxi retorted.

"Yes, everyone has complaints in their hearts." Concubine Rou sighed, looked at Ye Lingxi, and said meaningfully, "But you don't have to worry about His Royal Highness King Jing changing his mind about you, maybe he doesn't care about you. There is no relationship between a man and a woman, but he always keeps his word and will never treat you badly. I watched him grow up, so I have to admire his character."

"Your Majesty's words are a bit too arbitrary. She won't change her mind and treat me well, but she has no love for men and women. It sounds like Qin Jingyuan likes men." Ye Lingxi suddenly said mockingly. When she was alive, she had heard that Qin Jingyuan liked men, and he hadn't married all these years, and hearing Concubine Rou say this, she suddenly felt that this guess might be true.

Hearing Ye Lingxi's tone, Concubine Rou froze for a moment, staring at her as if she was sizing up something, which made Ye Lingxi feel a little nervous.

"No, now I suddenly feel that maybe King Jing really likes you." Concubine Rou suddenly said with a smile, "Actually, I was surprised when I heard King Jing swear in front of the Queen Mother. Now it feels natural.”

"Why?" Ye Lingxi frowned.

"Some people die, but they will always live in people's hearts. That person will never compete with you for King Jing. If he is still alive, this world will not allow them to be together, so you can relax. Bengong sees that King Jing is serious about you, it has been many years, and this is the first time he told others what he wants in front of everyone." Concubine Rou said with a smile, and the expression on her face softened a lot. few.

Ye Lingxi frowned. What she said meant that Qin Jingyuan really liked a man, and that man was dead. If she had heard the news three years ago, she would have ridiculed him.But now, it has nothing to do with who he likes, and the grievances between her and him will definitely be settled this time.

"This time the envoys from various countries came to celebrate the emperor's birthday. I'm afraid that many people have the intention of marrying. If the princess has any plans to marry, it's better to end it as soon as possible. The emperor will not agree." Concubine Rou said suddenly.

Ye Lingxi's pupils tightened slightly, looked at Concubine Rou, and said without thinking, "Why?"

"Of course the Empress Dowager is not willing to part with you, and the emperor will not part with you either." Concubine Rou said with a smile, but that smile was not real.

Ye Lingxi's eyes deepened, "Your Majesty seems to have been avoiding my questions. My mother, Princess Yaoguang, why did she marry Dingyanghou back then? I think you, as her good friend, should be Clearest."

"Princess, why should you focus on exploring this question. No matter whose daughter you are, it can't change the fact that you are the only daughter of Princess Yaoguang. You are the princess conferred by the emperor. Just know that as long as you are Princess Chongguang, no one can do anything to you. If you give up this honor yourself, then you will lose everything." Concubine Rou looked deeply at Ye Lingxi, "Your mother Although there are deviations in the results, they are almost the same."
