Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 84
When Concubine Qing and Qin Yunwei came, the eyes of both mother and daughter were swollen like walnuts, presumably they cried all night.

The queen mother couldn't help sighing, took Qin Yunwei's hand, hugged her into her arms, and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "Sooner or later you will marry, and you will always cry, but don't be too sad, or you will hurt yourself." What about the eyes? There's still a month left, so you can't cry every day!"

"I know, I won't cry anymore." Qin Yunwei said in a low voice, her tone was sincere, it sounded like she really made up her mind not to cry anymore.

Ji Liangruo felt distressed and confused, did she accept her fate, or did she make some decision?or something else...

For her dowry, there are thousands of pieces of jewelry, hundreds of dresses, thousands of silks and satins of various kinds, and dozens of boxes of pearls and agates... This money will definitely not let Qing Dowager Or Qin Yunyang, either the Queen Mother and the Emperor paid for it themselves, or used the treasury, no matter what, they are quite willing.

The queen mother asked Qin Yunwei what she wanted to bring with her, and Qin Yunwei said: "I want to bring a copy of all the books that Wansheng has. As long as it is Wansheng's things, I can bring one. I will be homesick in the future. Look at it. It can relieve lovesickness." She wanted to move away all the things she used to use, but after thinking about it, she should keep it.Otherwise, when Fifth Brother came back, she would be gone along with her belongings. He didn't want to doubt whether he had ever had this younger sister.

"Sure!" said the queen mother, "you make up your own mind, and let people find what you want!"

Ji Liangruo went back to Qingluan Palace after having lunch with everyone in Longfu Palace. When she walked into the main hall, she couldn't help being taken aback when she saw Yin Chuxin and Cen Fumei sitting together drinking tea.

Yin Chuxin waved to her, and said with a smile: "Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I rarely go out during my pregnancy, so life is really boring. Originally, you were here, so you could chat, but who knows that even the air in the Queen Mother's place is fragrant, you I’m so reluctant to come back!”

Hearing her calm and sour tone, Ji Liangruo sat down in embarrassment, and said softly: "Yi Zhange came to fix the dowry for the princess, we discuss it together, even the concubines dare not leave."

"Losing Ben Palace is still waiting for you to have lunch." Yin Chuxin blamed, and then said, "This is Cen Fumei, who was newly appointed by the emperor not long ago. I think you will hit it off."

Cen Fumei's expression was the least embarrassing, she was completely speechless, forced a smile at Ji Liangruo, and then drank tea with her head down.

Ji Liangruo didn't understand why Yin Chuxin did this.Is this interesting?Not to embarrass yourself!
"I remember that the queen mother said in the middle of the year that if the concubine fails to conceive the prince's child within half a year, she will be punished." Yin Chuxin looked at Ji Liangruo, "It's more than two months before it's due, right? Concubine, hurry up! Don't be like Ben Gong who only conceived this one in ten years."

Hearing this, Cen Fumei looked at her stomach.She smiled indifferently and said: "I think this Palace has not been favored by God in this aspect, and it is lucky to have this one. If the emperor wants to have many children, he must have Sister Laucen!"

"I don't dare to be a concubine." Cen Fumei said, "The old ancestors set a rule to select good daughters every five years, fill the harem, and reproduce for the emperor. The emperor has been on the throne for five years, and he has not been selected because of various things. The concubine thinks, the election will start next year or the next year, right? At that time, I'm afraid it won't be the concubine's turn."

"But you are his heartache!" Yin Chuxin laughed, "Look at how much he loves you!"

"The concubine is not as good as the empress." Cen Fumei said humbly, "The emperor has favored the empress for nearly ten years, and everyone envies her. The concubine is just lucky. One month has passed, can it be two months? It's hard to say."

Yin Chuxin chuckled: "Sister is modest. I think Your Majesty is not a ruthless person. After doting on me for ten years, it's not certain that I can dote on my sister for 20 years!" It's not that he didn't sleep with other maids in those ten years, but No credits!This Cen Fumei, who was fortunate to look similar to Ji Liangruo, flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix!
Who knows why he didn't stand up for others in the past, could it be that he was waiting for Ji Liangruo?Hmph, in the end it was all for naught, and she was treated like someone else's concubine!Should she say he deserved it?

Seeing that Ji Liangruo remained silent, she asked, "Why doesn't the princess speak?"

"The concubine doesn't know what to say." Ji Liangruo replied.

"You always chat, right?" Compared to Cen Fumei, Yin Chuxin certainly hates her more, "The more I look at the princess and Fumei, the more I feel that you look alike. Could it be that Fumei is also Tai Ji's niece?"

Cen Fumei smiled stiffly: "I was born as a concubine and a lowly maidservant, so I don't have the luck to be a relative of Empress Taiji."

Ji Liangruo didn't know how to answer these words, so he just kept smiling.Seeing Cen Fumei's appearance, she must have guessed why she was favored.Ji Liangruo thought for a moment, picked up the teapot to pour tea, and accidentally knocked it over, splashing water all over Cen Fumei's body and face.

The tea flowed down the table, and Cen Fumei, holding a cup of tea, was stunned by this sudden accident.

There was a moment of silence in the room.Then, everyone acted at the same time.Several maids helped Yin Chuxin to go away so that the tea wouldn't flow on her; Cen Fumei's maid frantically wiped her with a veil.

Ji Liangruo left his seat and knelt on the ground: "The concubine should die, I disturbed the empress, please forgive me!"

Cen Fumei snatched the handkerchief from the maid's hand, wiped it twice, and knelt on the ground: "The concubine's face is disheveled, and I offended the empress, please forgive me!"

"Forget it, it was just an accident, and I can't blame you." Yin Chuxin looked at her kindly, but scolded Ji Liangruo sharply, "It's just a matter of pouring tea and calling the palace maid. Do you need your majestic princess to do it yourself? You are deliberately embarrassing me, Do you want people to say that Ben Gong kept you here to use you?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me! This concubine has been used to it since she was a child, and I can't change it for a while!"

Ji Liangruo kowtowed vigorously, although she didn't touch the ground, but her head was still injured, Yin Chuxin was afraid that she would kowtow a few more times and cause problems, when the two men came to make trouble for her, she couldn't explain it, so she couldn't help scolding He said: "Stop knocking! You really came here to find Ben Gong bad luck! If someone sees you, it's an injury that Ben Gong bullies you! Stand up for Ben Gong!"

"Yes!" Ji Liangruo hurriedly stood up, not daring to vent his breath.

Yin Chuxin looked at her fiercely for a moment, then snorted: "Having been a princess for half a year, you still can't change it? You are really a born lowly maid!"

The word "bad maid" made Cen Fumei on the ground tremble.

She saw it and said: "Cen Fumei, go back and change your clothes. Have a good rest and ask the imperial doctor to take a look and don't catch a cold. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain it to the emperor."

"Thank you Empress Long En, and my concubine will leave." Cen Fumei kowtowed and stood up, slowly retreated to the door, turned and left.

Yin Chuxin looked at Ji Liangruo: "Don't think that this palace didn't see your tricks! Did you deliberately push her away to save her? Hmph, she may not be in favor of you! Besides, how do you know she's not enjoying it? She is a lowly servant girl who has become a beauty in one step. She doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and she must be thinking about how to climb up! Seeing that the palace has fallen out of favor, she must be thinking about her life in the future! Hmph, don't even look at her status, empress Let a person who was born as a lowly maidservant take the position?"

Ji Liangruo didn't know what she was doing scolding Cen Fumei in front of him, so he didn't dare to answer.

Yin Chuxin laughed again and said: "It's you, although you are also here as a palace maid, but Ruji is on top, so your status is naturally different."

It turns out...he's waiting for her here...

Ji Liangruo didn't raise his head, and knelt on the ground with a plop, and just knelt like that, without saying a word.

Yin Chuxin seemed quite satisfied, he smiled triumphantly, and said to everyone: "Everyone back down, close the palace door, I want to talk to the princess alone!"

Ruixue glanced at Ji Liangruo nervously, not daring to make any resistance, so she had to quit with everyone.

Several maids were closing the doors, and every time a door was closed, the light in the hall became weaker.Yin Chuxin frowned, and ordered to light the lamps, and the maid lit a few more lamps before they all retreated.

Yin Chuxin sat down on the stool next to Ji Liangruo, looked down at her, and said bitterly, "You want to be a queen? You're too overwhelmed!"
