The full moon banquet was quite grand, and many people came. Jinxin obtained the emperor's permission and gave invitations to the official family members outside the palace. Jinxin screened out many family members of hard-working officials and dignitaries.
Jin Xin was just testing the officials' attitude toward her, so she could observe who were coming.
Now that the Zuo Prime Minister is married to the Jiang family, Jiang Quwu was transferred out of the Hanlin Academy by the emperor and served in the Ministry of Rites. Although it is not an important position, this position is almost always in the transition period before promotion. The emperor has other important uses for Jiang Quwu. , in short, not bad.
If you can understand the worldly nature of officialdom, you should know how to make decisions.
Jin Xin now wants to wander among the noble family members in advance. She naturally wants to take care of the harem matters, but Jin Xin also wants to win over these family members.
No one knows the power of pillow wind better than Jin Xin.
The queen and Concubine De Gui accompanied the emperor out, one on the left and the other on the right. Many people came, and Jin Xin was very satisfied with the scene.
During her confinement, she began to get information about the family members of these officials. At least the people she wanted to win over were all here.
However, some officials involved with the Queen Mother did not come much and only sent gifts.
Jin Xin didn't care, she was old and couldn't last more than a few years.
The princess was taken out, moved around briefly, and then sent back.
In the current scene, this dynasty’s Princess Ronghuan has this honor.
The full moon banquet ended successfully, and the palace slowly fell silent again.
The emperor was in Chengen Palace at the moment. He looked at Jin Xin and felt warm in his heart. He took her hand and said warmly, "You have worked hard today."
Jin Xin looked at him and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. Today's banquet was specially arranged with His Majesty's permission. I am very grateful."
"This full moon banquet is because I value Huan'er, not to make up for anything." He explained.
"Then will the emperor love her forever?" she asked seriously.
The emperor frowned when he heard this, "Do I seem to be the kind of father who doesn't love his children?"
Jin Xin withdrew her hand, lowered her head, and said in a calm tone, "I have not been able to give birth to a prince, and now I am just a princess. If the emperor had not felt guilty, would you have held this full moon banquet for Huan'er?"
These words made the emperor unhappy, and his face turned cold, "I am not that kind of father who looks down on his daughter, but you think of me so much, who do you think I am?"
"I know that I am guilty." She tilted her head, not knowing that she was guilty, but that she had to admit that she was guilty.
The emperor's frown deepened.
"You're still angry," he said.
"I don't dare. It's just that today, many sisters said that when the princess grows up, she will eventually get married. When I heard this, I was heartbroken and even more worried about Huan'er." She sighed, full of sadness.
After the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, with a hint of anger, "What kind of talkative woman is so talkative? The princess's marriage is for the stability of the country, the country, and the country. Is this a bad thing? Besides, the princess has grown up and is more than ten years old. Years ago, am I so stupid and incompetent that I still have to rely on the princess to get peace after more than ten years?"
He sounded really angry.
Jin Xin raised her eyes, sat in front of him, and raised her face, "The emperor is wise and powerful, so naturally he will not be so incompetent. Those people said it deliberately to provoke me. The emperor will definitely love our daughter even more. I believe it." your."
When the emperor heard this, his aura finally subsided a bit. It was not that he didn't know the meaning of her words. How could any other concubine talk about these gossips? It was just that she wanted to speak for herself.
He immediately held her shoulders and said, "I know that you no longer believe in me because of what happened last time, but I promise you now that I will never let our Huan'er get married."
When Jin Xin heard this, she immediately stood up and thanked her, "I thank you for your grace, my concubine."
The emperor pulled her up, held her slender hands with both hands, and rubbed the back of her hands. He looked melancholy, sighed slightly, and said, "I know you are insecure and feel that I don't trust you enough. As for you, you don't have a good family background." Obviously, I want to plan more for myself. I also know it. I lost my mother when I was young. If I had my biological mother to plan more for me, I wouldn’t have to rely on myself for everything. It’s normal for you to think more for yourself. ."
Listening to his heartfelt words, Jin Xin knew that he wanted her to sympathize with his childhood, forgive his suspicion, and understand his difficulties.
But Jin Xin doesn't understand that the past is the past after all. His bad childhood made him plan for himself at a young age. He has a precocious mind and understands that people's hearts are sinister, so he feels that people's hearts are unreliable.
This kind of temperament is formed at a young age and cannot be changed after adulthood.
Jin Xin also knew very well what he wanted to express and how he wanted to respond. He hated betrayal, and he would not trust anyone wholeheartedly.
So she understood that she couldn't hold his heart forever.
His miserable childhood was just his past, and now he was an emperor.
But Jin Xin knew how to respond to him.
She pondered her emotions and looked at him with soft eyes, looking at him with a very motherly look, "Then the emperor should not be suspicious of my concubine in the future. I am attached to the emperor and born like a vine wrapped around a tree. If the emperor is If you continue to doubt me more, I will be helpless. It is better for you to abolish me and let me leave the palace."
These words moved him, and he hugged her sadly, "It's my fault."
After some tenderness, Jin Xin looked at the sleeping man next to her, but she opened her eyes and let herself go with an indifferent expression. Then she turned her head and looked at the emperor sleeping peacefully. She simply turned around, pulled up the quilt again, and said to herself Went to sleep.
Early in the morning, the emperor went to court.
Jin Xin slowly got up and went to dress up.
Although her twenty-year-old face looks ageless and even very colorful, even after giving birth to two children, her facial features are bright and delicate, with thick and long eyelashes. A little makeup can bring out her full potential. Beauty.
But she didn't care so much about this face anymore.
She used to think that this was her weapon, but now she saw that this weapon was the most important thing only when she had nothing.
But if it weren't for this face, she wouldn't be sent to the emperor's bed by the Jiang family.
The hand holding the dressing box tightened slightly, which made Lianrong a little nervous, so she hurriedly asked, "Mother, did I hurt you?"
Jin Xin then let go of her hand and said, "No."
At this time, Cuigu walked in and backed away from the maid standing beside her, leaving only Lianrong to continue dressing.
Jin Xin looked sideways at Cui Gu, waiting for her to reply.
"The Queen Mother seems to be dying. Physician Fang gave me the news that the emperor ordered Physician Wen to do it. She had a sudden headache last night and is now unconscious."
Jin Xin's eyes became serious when she heard this, "If the Queen Mother is gone, the Queen will have no one to support her."
Cui Gu nodded silently, and the faces of the three of them became a little excited.
Jin Xin was constrained everywhere because the Queen Mother secretly supported the Queen and the concubines with different statuses, but Jin Xin was unable to fight against the Queen Mother.
If the Queen Mother goes, Jin Xin will have no one to suppress her. With the Queen's methods, she will not be her opponent.
