Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 38
In a word, all the wives present laughed secretly, and those young ladies blushed.Ji Liangruo's face turns red and then turns pale. It seems that the queen mother let her conceive Qin Yunyao's child within half a year, and the whole emperor knows about it!

She didn't answer, just sat there in a daze.Everyone laughed enough, seeing her with a sullen face, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to deal with it.

Yin Chuxin said softly: "Princess's words are wrong. According to my palace, the prince is very considerate and right. Although the queen mother gave me half a year, the early rejoicing is the early peace of mind. Otherwise, if it is a day late, Liang Ruo will not know how much pain she will suffer." , how could the prince be willing?"

Qin Yunluo nodded again and again: "Emperor's sister-in-law is absolutely right! I can't imagine that fourth brother with such a cold temper would have such tenderness."

After hearing this, Yin Chuxin's face froze slightly.Picking up the wine glass with ten fingers, he glanced at Ji Liangruo below from the corner of his eyes while drinking.

After the banquet, Yin Chuxin was going to take a nap, and asked the maid to pack up the bedding for everyone in the side hall: "Just had a drink, you should also rest, wake up and go boating on the lake, where the lotus flowers are in full bloom."

She was talking about Youxian Lake.Youxian Lake occupies most of the area of ​​the inner palace, and the main palaces of the harem are arranged around it.

Youxian Lake is a major attraction of the Imperial Palace. You can go boating on the lake all year round. In summer, it is even more lively because of the cool breeze on the lake and the lotus flowers in the lake.

Ji Liang Ruofu said, "I want to pay my respects to the Queen Mother and Taiji."

Yin Chuxin glanced at her: "Forget it, I think you miss Taiji very much. Yunluo has already gone to greet her when she came, so don't delay, lest the Queen Mother will be unhappy. It's just that the Queen Mother also wants to take a nap. If you wait It’s getting late, so we’ll go directly to the Star Picking Pavilion, where we’ll board the ship. By the way, you invited the Queen Mother for me. I didn’t invite her this morning, but she likes you so much, and she went out to enjoy the scenery. It’s not certain that it will come.”

"The concubine obeys." Ji Liangruo said so, but he didn't dare to do it in his heart.She didn't even invite the Queen Mother here, if she invited her, wouldn't she slap her face hard?In that case, the enmity will become bigger.

If Ji Liang goes to Longfu Palace, he will go to see the Empress Dowager first.The queen mother was taking a nap, and when she heard that she was coming, she called her to the bedside and turned away the others.

The queen mother was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, not asleep.Liang Ruo took a fan to fan her, waiting for her to ask questions.After a while, she asked, "You and Yunyao, have you consummated your marriage?"

Ji Liangruo hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes...just about the night before yesterday..."

The Queen Mother lifted the corners of her mouth in satisfaction and believed her words: "How is Yun Yao treating you?"

Ji Liangruo frowned, and said slowly: "It's hot and cold, I really don't understand him. He suspects that I'm real, and he doesn't know what's up his mind."

The queen mother smiled, and looked at her with open eyes: "I think he likes you! He likes you at the same time, but at the same time he has to be on guard, so it's hot and cold."

Ji Liangruo paused, feeling suddenly enlightened.

"If he is really interested in you, you have to grasp it carefully." The queen mother's eyes were shining, "but, you must not develop feelings for him too! If he proves your identity as a spy, no matter how much he treats you." The feelings will disappear immediately, so what is your feeling for him?"

"Your servant understands, but your servant does not." Ji Liangruo replied honestly, with a calm expression on his face, looking very indifferent.

When the queen mother saw it, she was a little distracted, and sighed: "You look a bit like him..."

"Empress Dowager—" Ji Liangruo was startled, terrified.When did she look like Qin Yun?Does the Queen Mother not believe her?

"Don't be afraid." The queen mother waved her hand, "Just thinking about Yun Yao's cold-hearted appearance, it is impossible to have any feelings. According to Ai's family, he probably deliberately disturbed your mind and let you guess his mind. In this way, you are playing hide-and-seek with him, and you are the one who is led by the nose... This is really a simple and effective trick of his."

Ji Liangruo heaved a sigh of relief: "This servant also thought about it before, so I decided to act with him. It seems a bit futile to act in the current situation..."

"Very good." The queen mother smiled and looked at her, "Do you know what the emperor summoned him for today?"

"The slave does not know."

The queen mother looked a little proud: "You should know when you go back, and you will also know the plans of Aijia and the emperor."

"Yes." Ji Liangruo answered in a low voice. Seeing her turning inwards, she must have fallen asleep, so he said, "Maidservant to visit Tai Ji?"

"Go." She waved her hand.

Ji Liangruo got up, put the fan on the long table where the incense burner was placed, and left lightly.

"Liangruo." The Queen Mother suddenly called out.

She turned around: "What other orders does the Queen Mother have?"

"How is Ruixue?" The queen mother's voice did not have the temperature just now, "What did the Ai family tell you?"

Ji Liangruo froze for a moment, then replied in fear: "Your servant will take care of it..."

The queen mother hummed, she took a deep breath, and quickly exited.

Qin Yunyao had lunch in the palace and went home.As soon as the carriage entered the door, before getting out of the carriage, Liu Yuan's voice sounded outside: "My lord, my concubine has entered the palace!"

He was taken aback, and asked angrily, "Who let her into the palace?"

"It's the empress who hosted the banquet."

"How long have you been there?" He sat in the car without moving, and had no intention of getting out of the car.

"A moment after the prince left, the princess left."

so long?I don't know if Yin Chuxin and Qin Yunguang will do anything to her... He rubbed his forehead and called Mo Yan: "Enter the palace!"

Mo Yan didn't ask the reason, but simply answered "yes" before driving the carriage and going out again.

Ji Liangruo left the Queen Mother's place, and then went to Ruji's room.Walking outside the room, I heard the eighth princess ask: "Didn't you say that my cousin is here? Will she come to our place?"

"It will come soon..." Ruji's voice was not sure.

The maid at the door saw her and hurriedly said to the inside: "Miss Ji—oh, no, the concubine is here!"

She smiled, raised her skirt and walked in, the eighth princess had already run over and embraced her: "Cousin, I miss you so much."

"I miss you too..." Ji Liangruo smiled softly, hugged her, and led her to Ruji's side.

Ru Ji looked at her and smiled gently: "Have you gone to pay the queen mother well?"

"Please." She lowered her head, saw a plate of melon seeds on the table, sat down and peeled them.

When the eighth princess saw it, she said happily: "My cousin still remembers me, I want to peel off a hundred of them and eat them together!"

Ji Liangruo patted her head, but what he was thinking about was Qin Yunyao.Whatever is emotional or not, deliberately ignoring it makes her unable to sleep.From now on, she doesn't care, just let it go!Thinking about it this way, there is really no pressure in my heart.She smiled and really ignored it.

If Ji asked her if she was doing well, she was naturally doing well.Ruji also knew that this was a polite remark, and she wouldn't say it even if it wasn't good, but she was worried and couldn't help but ask.

"Anything else for a while?" Ruji asked.

"The queen said to go boating on the lake to pick lotus."

Ruji nodded: "She came to invite the queen mother in the morning, but the queen mother didn't go, and then asked who she had invited. She read a few names without you, so the queen mother asked her, and she said to invite you."

"I said why did I arrive last." Ji Liangruo smiled, and put down the few unpeeled melon seeds, "I'll just pass..." As she spoke, her voice choked up.

She didn't dare to stay with Ru Ji in private for too long, for fear that the Queen Mother might suspect that they had some secret plans.If she took refuge in Qin Yunyao, and Qin Yunyao supported Qin Yunhuang, they might really cooperate with Ru Ji, get news from the palace, and even kill these powerful people in the palace...

When the eighth princess heard that she was leaving, she grabbed her and said, "You are here!"

Ruji understands the current situation and stakes better than her, and is more worried about the comfort of the few people than she is, so she pulls the eighth princess back: "Cousin is busy with work, we will have a good chat when she comes next time."
