After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at the Queen's Kunning Palace.
It's still early now and the ministers haven't entered the palace yet, that is to say, the princes have to contact the emperor first before entering the palace, and their family members have already entered the palace.
The other princes were fine, but they only brought the main concubine and no other female family members. Only Prince Rui brought a concubine and a concubine.
It would be fine if he brought Concubine Lin with him. After all, Concubine Lin is the honorable princess, the eldest daughter of the Duke's palace, and the queen is her niece. With such a background, who among the princesses here can compare with her.
Both Princess Wei and Princess Shu came to the Queen's Palace early to drink tea with them. At this time, they saw a palace official coming to tell them that Princess Anyang was here.
In Kunning Palace, they always called Lin Xuezhi the princess.
After Jin Xin and Concubine Lin came in, the queen's calm face looked surprised when she looked at Jin Xin again.
No wonder Prince Rui doted on this concubine. She was indeed very good-looking, but her appearance was a bit seductive. Thinking of the concubines in the emperor's harem, they all had such looks.
Probably, men like this type of woman.
After a brief glance, she withdrew her gaze.
The emperor was much older than her, and they had no affection for each other. She didn't care about the affection between men. She was used to being aloof from the world. Seeing these women competing for the upper hand and being jealous, she preferred to watch them play tricks on each other.
"Greetings to my aunt."
"My concubine, Mrs. Jiang, pays homage to the Queen. I wish the Queen good luck."
One of them bowed slightly. He knelt down and bowed to the ground.
The queen nodded with satisfaction and waved to Concubine Lin, "Anyang, come to me. I will take a look at you."
Concubine Lin immediately stepped forward, smiling cutely.
The Queen looked her up and down and felt that she looked good, so she immediately smiled and said, "It seems that you are having a good time in Prince Rui's Mansion these days, your face is rounded."
"Really? Then I can't eat anymore. If I get fat, I'll look ugly." Concubine Lin covered her face nervously, feeling a little uneasy.
Everyone laughed when they heard this, it seemed that Concubine Lin was still the ignorant little princess.
But he ignored Jin Xin, who was still kneeling on the ground.
The Queen then looked at Jin Xin who was on the ground and said, "Raise your head."
Jin Xin immediately raised her head, and the queen looked her up and down and nodded, "She is born with a good skin, and she is indeed very beautiful."
"Thank you for the compliment, Queen." Jin Xin said respectfully.
"Is this Prince Rui's concubine Jiang? I heard that you were born in the Qiyuan Marquis Mansion and are the princess's sister, but I don't know why Princess Rui didn't enter the palace today?" The woman sitting next to her As he spoke, he looked about 27 or 28 years old. Although he was not that old, his face was a little gloomy, but he had a good temperament.
The eldest son of the prince, King Xian, is thirty-two years old, the second son, King Wei, is twenty-nine years old, the third son, King Shu, is twenty-five years old, King Rui is the second in line, twenty-year-old, the fifth son is eight years old, and the sixth son is eight years old. Three years old and the seventh son is one year old.
Judging from the age of this woman, she must be Princess Wei, and the one sitting next to her is Princess Shu.
"Returning to Princess Wei, my concubine is the Jiang family, the concubine of Prince Rui, and she is indeed from the Qiyuan Marquis Mansion. My sister-in-law was ill and was unable to attend the palace banquet."
Princess Wei chuckled when she heard this, "Although you are a concubine, you are somewhat knowledgeable. You actually know who I am. Princess Rui must have taught you a lot."
"The princess only teaches the maids and concubines how to share the prince's worries and stay safe. There is no need for the maids and concubines to understand other matters."
Princess Wei chuckled and said, "I hope you will keep to yourself as your sister said, and don't be domineering in the backyard just because you have a face."
The faces of everyone present sounded wrong.
The King of Wei's backyard has always been unjust, and people often died. The King of Wei also had a concubine whom he loved very much. She was born in Yangzhou and became a side concubine. She was troubled and troubled one after another. Princess Wei was furious.
Now that I saw a concubine entering the room, I became angry again.
The queen knew that if she didn't speak, Princess Wei would lose her temper again.
"Princess Wei, drink tea." The queen said warmly.
Princess Wei's face paled, and then she didn't say anything, picked up the tea and drank it.
The queen looked at Jin Xin and said, "Jiang, please get up."
As soon as Jin Xin got up, a servant brought her a stool, and the palace servant next to her came to speak in her ear. Jin Xin immediately stood up and followed the palace servant to the inner room.
Two imperial doctors were waiting here, and the palace officials asked Jin Xin to sit down and check her pulse.
After reading the pulse, the queen happened to come in and immediately stepped forward to reply.
"How is it? How is her pulse? Is she in good health?"
"Back to the Queen, Concubine Jiang is in good health and her fetus is in good condition," the imperial doctor replied.
The queen nodded when she heard the words, "That's good. Doctor Chen, you have superb medical skills. You will take care of Concubine Jiang's fetus until she gives birth."
Doctor Chen had no choice but to accept the order.
Concubine Lin's face changed slightly when she heard this. She was about to speak, but was stopped by the queen's cold eyes.
Afterwards, Jin Xin was sent out.
Concubine Lin and the queen were the only ones left in the inner room.
"Aunt, why are you protecting her fetus? If she is not lucky enough to have children, it is because she has no ability." Concubine Lin was a little angry.
The queen's face turned cold and she stared at her, "You are really ignorant, getting angry over such a trivial matter. If Prince Rui knew your temper, do you think he would help you become his concubine in the future?"
Concubine Lin stopped talking.
"I only have Lin'er under my knees now. He is disabled and naturally cannot inherit the throne. However, Prince Rui is also my child in name. If he succeeds to the throne in the future, you will be the queen. The child born to him will be Even if he is a direct descendant, even if Jiang gives birth to his eldest son, he is still a commoner, and the years are still long, can he still be guaranteed to be healthy for the rest of his life?"
Just like his own son, he was only happy for a few years, but now...
After Concubine Lin heard this, her expression softened, and she finally smiled, "Thank you, Auntie, for your careful planning for your niece."
The queen sighed helplessly and held her hand, "I want you to get along well with others after entering the palace. Be kind to others everywhere, and don't be unruly or aggressive. The most important thing is to let Prince Rui recognize your abilities, not I am worried about your identity, this is all to pave the way for you to become a queen in the future, if you cannot understand my painstaking efforts, then you will really disappoint me."
Concubine Lin hurriedly knelt down and said anxiously, "My niece follows my aunt's teachings and has never forgotten it."
"Really? Then why did you embarrass the Jiang family before? Did you ruin Prince Rui's favor?" the queen asked in a cold voice.
When Concubine Lin heard this, she knew she was in the wrong. She was too anxious about the matter. Seeing Jiang Jinxin being so held in her heart by the prince, she wanted to endure it, but how could she really endure it if she really loved someone deeply.
The queen understood her mood, so she didn't make it too difficult. Instead, she pulled her up, patted her hand gently and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to mess around anymore, do you understand?"
Concubine Lin nodded, then let Jiang be proud of herself. In the future, she will die when she straightens herself.
