Chapter 119 Selling Information
An Lingrong stayed in the palace with Hongning, and Tara said that she had no one to talk to, so she also stayed in the palace.
Jingpin came to the Shangxiatianguang with a bit of trepidation. After being let in, she found Wenpin looking at her with a smile.
After paying respect to Jiang Ruyin, Wenpin took the initiative to come forward and took Jingpin's hand and bowed, "Sister Jingpin, I was just thinking of you and came here now. I have become a worm in your stomach."
Jingpin was a little uncomfortable, but she still smiled and replied, "Then you have to let me hear it. Are you blaming me for not coming to chat and laugh with you guys?"
"Oh, it's true. Look, my sister is here soon. It shows that we are in sync with each other." Concubine Wen also agreed with her.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Concubine Wen suddenly sighed, "Ah, it's so rare to chat with you two sisters, it's really refreshing. If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Concubine has been so depressed recently, I wouldn't have had this opportunity to get together with you two."
Jingpin paused and suddenly started selling information.
Jiang Ruyin slowly picked up the teacup and casually continued, "The Emperor loves to go to the Qingliang Palace, why is Concubine Hua still so unhappy?"
Concubine Wen showed a helpless expression and said slowly, "Songzhi, who is beside the Imperial Concubine, is also a pretty girl. She always serves the Imperial Concubine very well. I don't know what happened recently, but the Emperor has noticed her. After all, she is the Imperial Concubine's dowry, so the Imperial Concubine is naturally reluctant to let her go."
Jiang Ruyin had only heard about this from a palace maid in her previous life, so she didn't know the details. She only knew that this was a sign that the emperor was about to take action against the Nian family.
Jiang Ruyin took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, we grew up together and it's not an exaggeration to say we are sisters. I would be reluctant to let you go too."
Jingpin gathered her thoughts, her eyes quickly scanning Jiang Ruyin and Wenpin, wondering: Did Cao Qinmo take the wrong medicine today? Seeing Jiang Ruyin's indifferent expression, it's hard to say if the two of them haven't been colluding for a long time. If it's a two-person scheme, one has to play the good cop and the other the bad cop, right? Looking at the way they're acting, am I the bad cop?
"You are right, but this is the emperor's harem after all. Every woman is the emperor's woman." Jingpin said this tentatively.
"Yes, so, the Imperial Concubine also intends to take the initiative and can't wait for the Emperor to speak, right?" Wenpin said this as she leisurely sipped her tea.
Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Jingpin's mind was in a mess and she almost forgot her purpose.
"Hmm... The emperor suddenly wants to take a new concubine. Could it be that when he arrived at the Old Summer Palace, he thought of the two princes who were raised outside, and this gave him this idea. Hasn't he also visited all the sisters these days?" Jingpin boldly made a guess, while carefully glancing at the expressions of the two.
Seeing that both of them looked thoughtful, Jingpin continued with confidence, "Thinking about it this way, I'm reminded of the third princess. She's a very healthy child. She'll be as lovable as Wen Yi in the future."
What mother doesn't like to hear others praise her children? Wenpin covered her mouth and laughed, "It's not as good as what my sister said. The emperor has never forgotten us old friends. Look, Concubine Xin and her daughter are reunited, and Concubine Jing has also become familiar with palace affairs in the past few months. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to raise a child in the future."
Jiang Ruyin and Wenpin said everything that could and couldn't be said to each other as if they were family members. Hearing Wenpin say this, Jingpin looked at Jiang Ruyin again, and seeing that she just smiled and said nothing, Jingpin felt like a huge stone in her heart was about to fall, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Jingpin continued, "When I was still unmarried, my mother always complained about my younger brothers and sisters being noisy. But now I see that Hongxuan and Wenyi are very well behaved, aren't they, Empress Fangfei?"
Jiang Ruyin's scalp suddenly felt a sharp pain, and her smile froze for a moment. "Children are always well-behaved outside, but they act a little unruly in front of their mother. With Concubine Wen, are you afraid that you won't be able to endure the hardship of having a child in the future, Concubine Jing?"
Concubine Wen looked at Concubine Jing with her sharp eyes. A huge stone in Concubine Jing's heart fell completely, and she smiled at Concubine Wen a little embarrassedly.
......
The emperor wanted to see his concubines living in harmony, so Concubine Hua held a banquet by the Imperial Lake to enjoy the scenery. Except for the three new concubines who had entered the palace, no one else had been to the Old Summer Palace several times.
Su Da Ying excitedly pulled that Da Ying around, while Guo Chang Zai stayed on the periphery to listen to the conversation of several people gathered together.
Concubine Xin was granted an imperial decree to keep the princess by her side. Although she was not brought out today, she was obviously much more active and would chat with everyone.
Turning around, she saw Zhen Huan, Chun Changzai, and Guo Changzai chatting, and Xin Guiren asked, "Wanpin came so early today. The emperor loves you to serve him with his writing materials. I thought Wanpin would arrive later."
Zhen Huan smiled and replied, "The Emperor is discussing important matters with the others, so I'm free to go out and play." She glanced back at Concubine Hua, not even trying to lower her voice. "Besides, who has more favor than Concubine Zhi these days? It's Concubine Zhi who should be worried about this matter today."
Concubine Hua, knowing that these two had been submitting frequent memorials impeaching her brother, glared at them. "This palace is hosting a banquet to maintain harmony among the six palaces. Why is Concubine Wan bringing up matters of the past? Do you really think you can interfere in government affairs at will?"
After these words were spoken, Guo Changzai quietly retreated from Zhen Huan's side.
Zhen Huan looked innocent, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I didn't say it was from the previous dynasty."
Concubine Hua choked and pushed away Concubine Wen and Songzhi who were holding her. She gritted her teeth as she walked away, saying, "Concubine Wan is as eloquent as she was back then, but you seem a lot bolder now than when you first entered the palace. Do you really think I dare not punish you?"
Zhen Huan greeted him with a smile, "Whether you can tolerate it depends on your majesty's temperament, and whether you can make your majesty tolerate it depends on my ability."
Concubine Hua waved her hand and returned to the main seat.
Concubine Chun was chatting and laughing beside Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan also smiled sincerely.
Zhen Huan was wary of Lou Yong'er from the bottom of her heart. Ever since Sister Mei distanced herself from her, Zhen Huan became more and more dependent on Concubine Chun.
Seeing that Concubine Hua was no match for Zhen Huan, Concubine Guo hesitated for a moment and walked around the group of people surrounding Jiang Ruyin.
Jingpin was always easy to talk to, so she naturally brought Guo Changzai along. Cheng Guiren glanced at her and continued to talk to Jiang Ruyin and Jingpin.
"Noble Lady Xin has a cheerful personality, but I didn't expect Princess Shuhe to be so quiet. I went to Noble Lady Xin's place yesterday, and Shuhe wasn't afraid of people. She called me sweetly. This girl is quiet and sensible. I saw Noble Lady Xin talking for a while, and Shuhe even poured us tea." Noble Lady Cheng shared enthusiastically.
Jingpin suddenly became interested, "That's right, last time Concubine Fang also said that daughters are more caring than sons."
Concubine Xin heard it with her sharp eyes, but did not interrupt. Instead, her nose felt sore, and when she put on a smile again, there was a hint of sadness.
