Concubine Shun lowered her head, with a bitter look on her face, "I'm really scared. There are many beautiful women in the palace. Their family background is higher than that of concubine. There are also many who are good at singing and dancing. There is no shortage of talented people. Concubine is really scared." , I don’t know why this great blessing came to my concubines.”
She had been puzzled for a long time, but she really couldn't figure it out and was very uneasy. When she entered the palace, she was given the title of concubine and lived alone in Changle Palace. She was given a special title. She was just the daughter of a general magistrate, and she might not be able to bear this wealth.
Jin Xin smiled when she heard this. She was sober in the world and had not lost her mind. I know that my favor comes from a strange place.
Jin Xin didn't hide it from her. Anyway, she would know sooner or later. Let her know in advance so that she could remember her kindness.
"Did you know that there once was a jade concubine?"
"I've heard it often." Concubine Shun nodded.
But I don’t know much. I just know that there was this concubine, and I can’t find out much about it.
"That is the person who misses the most in His Majesty's heart. He grew up with his childhood sweetheart and saved him. He is the only person that His Majesty has ever purely loved. And you have a face similar to hers."
Jin Xin's words shocked Shun Bin extremely.
No wonder she was noticed when she went to the lake. She was not a peerless beauty. She really couldn't figure this out, but now that she said it, it made sense.
But instead of being very happy, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Then it is even more impossible to want to leave the palace on your own.
"Is Your Majesty waiting to meet my concubine?" Concubine Shun bit her lip, somewhat resigned to her fate.
"Now that you have entered the palace, the things that happened in the past and outside the palace don't count. You can only strive for the best life you can. This is what I have to say. How to grasp it? It's up to you. Enlightenment.”
Concubine Shun's heart skipped a beat when she was treated like this. She looked at Jin Xin in surprise, and when she saw her eyes glaring at him, she lowered her head guiltily and said, "Empress, I don't want to sleep with you."
"For General Gu, right?" Jin Xin made the point immediately, no need to twist around.
Concubine Shun was startled, then realized what she was doing, quickly got out of bed and knelt down, "I don't dare."
"You don't dare or you can't. You have no results, so why persist. If you don't hide your thoughts and let others find out, General Gu's future and life will be ruined, and so will you."
Concubine Shun lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
She still had a glimmer of hope and wanted to wait for Gu Zhao to return from the victorious battle, wait for the emperor to forget her existence, and forget herself in the harem like those beautiful ladies who had not been betrayed. It was best not to think of herself.
Now that the queen came here in person to enlighten her and let her know that she could never be forgotten by the emperor, she gave up that little hope.
"Concubine, thank you for your advice. I will take care of myself for two more days and then I can sleep with you." Concubine Shun said helplessly.
Jin Xin pulled her up, patted the back of her hand, and said gently, "For the sake of your family, look forward."
Shunbi nodded and forced a smile.
"Tomorrow the emperor will host a banquet at Qionghua Palace. If you feel better, you can come. If not, I will wait for you to feel better and then let your name be displayed in the honorary affairs room."
Give her one night to think about it.
After the queen left Changle Palace, Concubine Shun stood up in despair and sat on the bed.
Xiaohui looked at her worriedly, "Empress, did the Queen's words threaten you just now?"
"You are overthinking. She just reminded me that if she really wants to threaten me, she can expose my affair with General Gu in front of the imperial court." Shun Bin said calmly, without any emotion.
There is always a sadness about her that makes people want to pity her a little more.
"I heard that the queen is very domineering and she has dealt with all the concubines in the palace. Your Majesty, you should be more careful."
"Who did you listen to?" Shun Bin asked with a frown.
"When I was going to find the way, the maid from Yilan Palace took care of me and told me the secrets of the palace. I think it's quite credible." Xiao Hui said with a serious look.
"Don't get close to people from Yilan Palace in the future. You'd better keep these words in your stomach. If you keep talking nonsense, you won't even know you were assassinated." Shun Bin said coldly.
When Xiaohui heard this, she quickly covered her mouth.
Although Concubine Shun came to the palace for the first time, Concubine Xuan frequently came to express her goodwill in the past few days. She didn't answer her, and Concubine Xuan turned around and became angry. She still remembered it.
Although she didn't know the situation in the palace, Yilan Palace had such obvious contact with her palace maid and told her these secrets, and she had an intention at first sight.
The queen doesn't look like a cruel and vicious person.
"Let's prepare for the banquet tomorrow." Shun Bin sighed.
Not long after returning to Kunning Palace, Changle Palace sent someone to tell me that I would like to attend the banquet tomorrow.
"She is quite enlightened." Jin Xin said with a smile.
"This concubine is soft-tempered, but she is a straightforward person." Cui Gu said.
"She can't help but just go ahead. If she delays it any longer, good things will turn into bad things."
Finally, she looked at Cui Gu, "Tell me, what does it feel like to love someone?"
Jin Xin is very curious. What she loves most is her family, mother, and younger brother. Of course, love is passed down. The first thing Jin Xin loves is her children.
But when it comes to men, she has never had that overwhelming urge to love.
She was moved by the emperor at first, and then she wanted to stay with him well, and wanted to keep his heart so that she could get more.
In fact, she felt that she loved the emperor very much at first, but when she wanted to withdraw, she actually didn't struggle too much at all.
Therefore, Jin Xin felt that this was not love.
She said how much she loved the emperor, but she could say those words without even feeling in her heart.
Jin Xin was sure that the emperor had never been loved before, otherwise how could he not tell that he was lying.
Cui Gu listened to Jin Xin's request and laughed out loud, "Mother, there are many kinds of love. You love the prince and the princess, and you love them too."
"I'm asking about the kind of love a man loves and a woman loves."
When Cui Gu thought about it seriously, she actually looked a little dazed, as if she was stuck in memories.
"Probably, when I see him, I immediately feel that he is this person in this life. I will pay special attention to everything about him. If he responds a little bit, I will be overjoyed. The stop of his gaze is better than anything else in the world. , It’s like they are destined to be together, as if the two of them are destined to be together.”
"What if we can't stay together?" Jin Xin asked again.
"I don't know this, so I will probably regret it, right?" Cui Gu smiled bitterly.
She and her husband-in-law were very happy at first. The two of them were not so poetic. They just wanted to live a good life together. Later, it faded away, but they still wanted to live together.
As for later, she worked in the Marquis's Mansion, followed by the Prince's Mansion, and entered the Palace. She was only responsible for her family.
There is nothing as unforgettable as the words in the book. They are ordinary people, so how can they have so much mood to study those things.
Jin Xin couldn't figure out the answer, so she stopped worrying.
She was just curious about how Guan Jiaojiao could miss Gu Zhao so much just because she had met Gu Zhao once.
She probably would never understand what it felt like to be in love but not be able to do so.
