The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again
Chapter 418: Evil and Scheming True Gold 36
During the morning court session, the court officials quickly got the news about Jiang Nanqiu entering the palace, so they started again and began to persuade Jiang Nanqiu to participate in the selection.
"There is no need to mention this matter anymore. I will not hold a beauty contest for the time being." Xiao Jinghui refused with a cold face.
If he had one more lifetime, he would select a concubine and, like the kings before him, work hard to produce offspring and fulfill his responsibilities.
But he only has three years, and these three years were given to him by the emperor's uncle, so he must cherish these three years and cannot spend too much time in the harem, but should spend it in the front court.
Besides, he already had such a stunning woman. With her, all other women became vulgar women. He didn't even care about them.
............
"Uncle, you finally entered the palace." Jiang Jing stood up to greet him.
This was the first time Xiao Chenyan entered the palace in these few months.
Today was a palace banquet, and he knew that the emperor's uncle would come, so he kept waiting. Besides him, his grandmother was also waiting.
"Yeah." Xiao Chenyan's voice was low.
"Uncle, please take a seat with me later." Xiao Jinghui said.
Xiao Chenyan shook his head and said, "I'll just sit down there." He didn't care about that anymore. He just wanted to find Jiang Nanqiu as soon as possible.
After this palace banquet, he planned to leave the capital, and he also needed to explain this matter clearly to his mother.
Xiao Jing didn't refute it verbally, but he still arranged Xiao Chenyan's seat next to him. He always knew in his heart who this position really belonged to.
"Uncle, I now understand how hateful those stubborn old men in the court are."
Jiang Nanqiu couldn't stop getting angry when he thought of the repeated tests, manipulations, and overt and covert threats from these old guys over the past few days.
Xiao Chenyan understood: "Your methods are a bit more ruthless, using both kindness and force. You need to figure out the right balance."
"Don't show the slightest sign of weakness, or they will seize the opportunity and climb over your head."
Xiao Chenyan knew that there were too many old foxes among these court officials. In front of him, they did not dare to test him too much, because he would really kill them. But in front of Xiao Jinghui, these old guys took advantage of him.
"It is appropriate to arrest one person to serve as a warning to others, and Li Gelao is a suitable person."
"Thank you for your teachings, uncle." Xiao Jinghui was very moved.
Xiao Jinghui couldn't help but secretly look at him.
"What is it?"
Xiao Jinghui really admired the emperor's uncle's sharpness. Every time he peeked at him, he seemed to be discovered: "My nephew just felt that the emperor's uncle seemed to be in a slightly better state than before, and I was happy."
Xiao Chenyan remained silent. He did not feel that his condition had improved. It was only recently that he did not get drunk again when he was about to go to the palace to meet his mother.
But without alcohol to numb the pain, his mind was clear and his heart was in even more agony. He was thinking about Jiang Nanqiu all the time.
All these thoughts, pains, tortures and worries made him feel mixed emotions of love and hate towards her.
If he found her, he would never let her escape. He would lock her up by his side, and they would be together for the rest of their lives.
.............
Jiang Nanqiu had to show up at this palace banquet. Xiao Jing returned to the harem and now she was the only one there. She was also a high-ranking concubine. Moreover, even the Empress Dowager summoned her once. At that time, she was amazed by her appearance and did not find anything wrong. No one would have thought that she was Jiang Nanqiu, the former Princess of Wei. After all, her appearance had been adjusted. This was a completely different face. Xiao Chenyan would not have noticed it either.
Jiang Nanqiu could only comfort himself in this way.
"Uncle, it's still early to leave the banquet. The Royal Grandmother is still waiting for you. Do you want to go over there?" Xiao Jinghui did not forget the task that the Royal Grandmother had assigned him today.
Xiao Chenyan nodded: "I'll go over now."
"it is good."
Guessing that the mother and son must have something to say, Xiao Jinghui tactfully followed them and handled state affairs on his own.
...........
Xiao Chenyan walked towards the residence of the Grand Empress Dowager with a stern expression, but he suddenly stopped on the way.
"Who is that woman?" Xiao Chenyan's voice was cold.
He only saw a figure from a distance, but inexplicably felt that it resembled Jiang Nanqiu.
Xiao Chenyan quickly quickened his pace. The eunuch followed him and answered, "Your Highness, judging from the support, it should be Concubine Lan. She was the concubine that the emperor brought in from outside the palace not long ago. She is the only concubine in the harem now."
Xiao Chenyan had vaguely heard Gu Zhao mention this matter.
"Last name Lan?"
Xiao Chenyan was tall and had quick steps. He did not ride in a sedan chair and quickly caught up.
Xiao Chenyan thought he was probably crazy. Whenever he saw someone who looked like her, he would have hope in his heart. Now, he thought it was her just by seeing her back. But if he didn't confirm it, he would never feel at ease.
Xiao Chenyan grabbed the person in front of him.
"It's not her..." The moment he saw this person's appearance, Xiao Chenyan had to feel disappointed.
The person in front of him had nothing in common with Jiang Nanqiu.
She was indeed very beautiful, no wonder Xiao Jinghui brought her back to the palace. But she was not the one he was looking for.
"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Xiao Chenyan's face was cold and his voice was even colder.
Jiang Nanqiu's heart was also trembling with fear. He appeared so suddenly that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Facing him at this moment, she couldn't even say a word. He was indeed not doing well and looked so haggard.
"My queen, are you scared?" The maid beside her came forward and asked with concern.
Jiang Nanqiu then lowered her head and nodded slightly.
Xiao Chenyan didn't think much about it, just thought she was really frightened. He continued to walk towards the palace of the Empress Dowager. He planned to tell his mother today that he was leaving Beijing. But just after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back for some unknown reason. He saw that this Concubine Lan was still standing there, and she seemed to be looking at him.
However, the two of them were quite far apart, and Xiao Chenyan could not clearly see the expression on her face.
When she noticed Xiao Chenyan turning back, Jiang Nanqiu turned around quickly. She clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves to avoid being too panicked and arousing suspicion when Xiao Chenyan turned back.
"Your Highness, could it be that Consort Lan has taken a fancy to you? We have been walking for a while and Consort Lan is still staring at you, Your Highness."
Eunuch Zhu had been with Xiao Chenyan all along and had seen many young women fall in love with the prince at first sight. The fiancée that the late emperor had chosen for the emperor had once privately expressed her feelings to the prince. At that time, before Xiao Jinghui ascended the throne, the woman came to the palace and said that she was willing to be the prince's concubine.
Eunuch Zhu felt as if thunder was rolling in the sky. Is the past going to happen again?
Xiao Chenyan said, "Go see the Queen Mother."
