Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 25
Walking back to the stage in the imperial garden, I didn't know what everyone was talking about, so I heard Fang Nijin say: "The prince has never spent the night in the concubine's room!"

As soon as the voice fell, the noisy garden suddenly became quiet.

Ji Liangruo thought it was because everyone found them coming, but unexpectedly, the Queen Mother also appeared on the other side.Everyone stood up and greeted the Queen Mother, their voices were extremely low, and their faces were full of anxiety.

The queen mother glanced at Fang Nijin lightly, and walked towards the first seat.There are two first seats, one is her and the other is the emperor.

Qin Yunguang had arrived at some point, and Yin Chuxin was also sitting upright on the lower side.After hearing Fang Nijin's words, the two saw Qin Yunyao and Ji Liangruo appearing again. Qin Yunguang looked at Ji Liangruo with a look of joy in his eyes; Yin Chuxin looked at Qin Yunyao with tenderness in his eyes.

The Empress Dowager sat down, and the two looked away, and respectfully called "Mother Empress".The Queen Mother glanced at Yin Chuxin with dissatisfaction, and said, "As a queen, won't you stop me when you hear nonsense?"

Yin Chu said: "My son just arrived, I don't know what they talked about before, but when I heard such a sentence suddenly, my son was also very shocked."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't blame her, and turned to look at Fang Nijin: "Princess Fang should know the rules."

"The empress dowager, please forgive me! This servant knows his mistake!" Fang Nijin knelt down on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and even called herself a "servant" over and over again.

The Queen Mother sternly taught her a few words, and said, "That's all! You have ruined any good mood!" After she finished speaking, she looked at Ji Liangruo and Qin Yunyao who were still standing motionless by the side of the road, and her face darkened. Order: "Both of you go to Longfu Palace and wait for Aijia!"

"Yes..." Ji Liangruo replied weakly, turned around and pushed Qin Yunyao away.

The Empress Dowager sat for a while sullenly before getting up: "Send me back to the palace!"

"Queen!" Qin Yunguang stood up, "I will send you back."

"The sons and ministers are also sending off to the queen." Yin Chuxin also stood up.

The queen mother glanced at them, did not refuse, but said: "None of you can make Ai's family worry!" After speaking, she let Yin Chuxin help her to leave.

After walking a few steps, she thought of Ru Ji, turned around and said, "Ru Ji, you and the eighth princess should go back with Ai's house."

"Yes." Ruji immediately led the eighth princess to follow.

Entering the Longfu Palace, before Qin Yunyao and Ji Liangruo, who arrived first, had no time to say hello, the Queen Mother shook Yin Chuxin's hand: "Liang Ruo, come with Ai's family, Ai's family has something to ask you."

Ji Liangruo hastily greeted Qin Yunguang and Yin Chuxin, and hurriedly exited the hall.

Entering the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the Empress Dowager shuns everyone else, leaving her alone, and asks: "What's going on? Is what Princess Fang said true?"

She knelt down, confessed what had happened these days, and said: "The prince may be suspicious of the servant, so he deliberately distanced himself from the servant, and did not allow the servant to have any chance to approach him and detect him."

In the main hall, after Ji Liangruo left with the queen mother, Qin Yunguang asked Qin Yunyao: "Is Princess Fang telling the truth? Are you really treating the newly married concubine like this?"

"How does the emperor want me to answer?" Qin Yunyao smiled noncommittally.

Qin Yunguang was slightly taken aback, thinking that he was doubting his feelings for Liang Ruo.Yin Chuxin next to him was afraid of showing his emotions in public, so he sat like a wooden beauty, only drinking tea and not talking, and not looking at anyone.

"If you really do that, the queen mother will be unhappy." Qin Yunguang said casually and didn't continue.

No one else spoke, and the hall fell silent.After a while, Hui Xin came out with Ji Liangruo, and said to Qin Yunyao, "Your Highness, Queen Mother, please go too."

Qin Yunyao looked up, only to see Ji Liangruo lowered his head so that he couldn't see any expression.Hui Xin looked timid, probably because she was afraid that he would not agree.He lowered his eyes, and his voice did not fluctuate: "Who will help this king?"

"Servants come." Hui Xin said.

"Let's go then."

Hui Xin breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and pushed his wheelchair away.Walking outside the bedroom door, there is still a threshold.The two eunuchs next to each other lifted the wheelchair and sent it to the door, and Huixin pushed him to the side of the Queen Mother.

Seeing him, the Queen Mother sighed softly: "Yun Yao, what did you do to that child Liang Ruo?"

"The queen mother has already asked her, so why bother to ask me?"

"If she is willing to say it, the Ai family will not ask you!" The Queen Mother said, "Is what Princess Fang said true?"

"What does the queen mother think?"

"You..." The queen mother suffocated slightly, "If you didn't like her, you shouldn't have married her in the first place! She is Ruji's niece after all. Face Ru Ji face to face?"

Qin Yunyao said: "The queen mother is worrying too much, Ruji won't have any complaints."

He was right, a humble and weak girl like Ruji dare not complain!
"It was the queen mother who asked the son to marry a wife, and the son did so. The mother should be happy." Qin Yunyao said with a harmless smile, "How can others know much about me and Liang Ruo? The queen should not listen to rumors."

"Rumors?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "The Queen Mother is not so confused yet!"

Qin Yunyao sighed: "Some things need time to get used to."

"Break-in?" The Queen Mother sounded suspicious, "I hope..."

At this time, she plays a mother who loves to worry about everything. Although this child was not born by her, it is also her husband's child.

Returning to the main hall with Qin Yunyao, she immediately issued an order: "Liang Ruo, Ai's family ordered you to conceive the prince's heir within half a year, otherwise your position as princess will be abolished!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.Ruji and Yin Chuxin didn't dare to speak, Qin Yunguang said: "Queen mother, this is fourth brother's private affair, why do you bother to intervene and be such a villain?"

"If the Ai family doesn't become such a villain, will your fourth brother have no children or grandchildren?"

"Mother's words are serious." Qin Yunyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't express anything else.

Yin Chuxin cast a resentful glance at him, which was so fleeting that no one noticed it.

Ji Liangruo stood where he was, not knowing how to respond, the Queen Mother was still waiting for an answer.

"Liang Ruo, you still haven't accepted the order!" the queen mother said.Once she said this, the words really became a verbal order, a decree...

Qin Yunguang said kindly: "Mother, I feel that this matter involves the private affairs of their husband and wife. Although we are called relatives, we are outsiders. You should not push too hard, old man."

Liang Ruo remembered that he suddenly appeared in her room on the eve of her wedding and did that frivolous thing to her, her body couldn't help trembling slightly.She knelt down slowly, kowtowed and said: "Liang Ruo leads the decree, the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old..."

There were sighs everywhere, and she didn't know who made them.She knew that this was the empress dowager giving her an upright reason to get close to Qin Yunyao so that she could fulfill her mission as a spy...

The queen mother sent a father-in-law surnamed Wang to the palace to monitor Qin Yunyao and Ji Liangruo's intercourse.When getting off the carriage, Qin Yunyao told him to live in Jingyue Courtyard, and he fell headlong into Bixiao Courtyard as usual.

Back at Jingyue Courtyard, Dongyue asked someone to clean Eunuch Wang's room, and then asked them to clean the whole yard and prepare bath water for Liang Ruo.

Eunuch Wang is in his 40s, deeply eroded by the years in the palace, his words and deeds are inexplicably weird, and he doesn't seem so easy to get along with.When he saw the maidservants in the yard, he asked with a smile, "Are these the prince sent to serve the princess?"

"Yes." Dongyue said, "Except for me and Xun'er, there are ten of them. Why doesn't the prince care about our concubine?"

She personally sent Eunuch Wang back to the room, and then returned to Liang Ruo's room, seeing that Xun'er was preparing Liang Ruo's clothes for a change of clothes, she said: "Take the most beautiful clothes for the princess!"

"Why?" Xun'er asked stupidly.
