The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 508: The Scheming Black Lotus Daughter Vs the Noble and Arrogant Prince 35

As soon as Jiang Nanqiu recovered, he went to Wang to show his filial piety.

Wang took pity on her frail body and refused to let her come to Tongyuan to serve her no matter what. "Now the most important thing for you is to take good care of Anzhi. It would be best if I could have a grandson as soon as possible, so that my love for you will not be in vain." Wang looked at Jiang Nanqiu's pretty face, called her to her side affectionately, and said so.

Jiang Nanqiu had always been filial and kind in front of Wang. Now that her health had improved a little, she came to Tongyuan attentively, which made Wang feel emotional.

After finally driving Jiang Nanqiu away, Wang said to Rong Mama, "Among all the girls from the noble families in the capital, there is no one who is more resourceful and capable than Jiang. Where in the world is there a daughter-in-law who is truly filial to her mother-in-law? Isn't it just to please her husband? But she can do this to the fullest."

Aunt Rong also praised Jiang Nanqiu highly, "I also admire the character of the Crown Prince's wife."

As soon as she finished speaking, Caixia, the head maid, came down the corridor. She glanced at Wang, who was sitting on the couch, and said anxiously, "Madam, someone is coming from the palace."

Wang was shocked by this and asked Caixia, "Why is there someone in the underground palace out of nowhere? Who is it?"

Caixia replied in a serious tone, "It was Wang De, the chief steward of the imperial court."

Wang's face turned grim. Wang De was a eunuch who had served Emperor Zhang of Han since he was a child. He held a special position in the palace. Moreover, he was a man who would not do anything without profit, and believed in the principle of not visiting the palace without a reason.

Wang hurriedly asked Rong Ma to help her go to the inner chamber and change into imperial servants. She then said to Caixia with a serious face, "Go to Bieyun Pavilion and call the woman over."

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Nanqiu, dressed up, rushed to the front yard accompanied by Yu'er, Ling Han and Ling Qing.

Yu'er couldn't stop shaking all over, she had never seen the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and she didn't know what rules the women in the inner chamber should follow when meeting angels.

She was so worried that Jiang Nanqiu might not be able to remain calm.

"Madam, do you have any instructions?" She asked Ling Qing as she walked on the corridor.

Ling Qing shook her head and said, "No, there have been very few rewards from the palace in recent years, and I haven't seen an envoy from the palace for two or three years."

Jiang Nanqiu had some vague guesses in his mind. He guessed that it was because Jing Anzhi had made great contributions at the polo match that day, so the palace sent someone to reward the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

After thinking about this, Jiang Nanqiu felt a little more at ease.

Not long after, Aunt Rong, who was beside Wang, saw Jiang Nanqiu in the corridor and waved to her anxiously.

As soon as he entered the front hall, Jiang Nanqiu saw the chief steward Wang De, who was wearing a dark blue robe with gold patterns. Behind him were a few young eunuchs. Although they had a smile on their faces, their whole bodies were filled with solemnity.

"Qiu'er is here." Wang stood under the plaque in the front hall. She was wearing the clothes of a first-rank imperial official and did not show the slightest sign of timidity.

Wang De turned around and glanced at Jiang Nanqiu who hurried over. He had seen too many fairy-like beauties in his life. The Queen and Concubine Shen were both outstanding, but their looks when they were young were not as good as this unknown concubine in front of him. It was said that the concubine of the Jiang family, a sixth-rank official, had a humble background and it was unknown what she had done to catch the eye of the Duke of Zhenguo. But she had a pair of affectionate almond eyes and a delicate goose nose with red lips.

Wang De put away the surprise in his eyes and said to Wang in a shrill voice, "We have come to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion today specially, firstly to check on your health, the wife of the Duke, and secondly to convey Concubine Shen's decree." There was not even the slightest intention of commending Jing Anzhi in his words, and he even mentioned Concubine Shen inexplicably.

Wang was confused, and even Jiang Nanqiu didn't know the deeper meaning of Wang De's words, so he just sat obediently below Wang, waiting for Wang Shun to say the next word.

"Noble Concubine Shen?" Although Wang saw Wang De coming with the imperial edict, his attitude did not seem very respectful.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was also a prominent family with a history of hundreds of years, and it had a strong foundation. As the wife of the Duke, she did not have to bow down to a eunuch who was neither male nor female.

"We feel relieved to see that Madam is doing well." Wang De seemed to have noticed Wang's unusually cold attitude and said so.

Wang smiled and asked the maid to serve tea. She said, "The Duke has gone to the northwest. Now it's just Qiu'er and I who are guarding this huge mansion. It's my blessing that Manager Wang cares about me." As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nanqiu also noticed Wang's glance and smiled to join in the fun, "Qiu'er is also lucky to be able to serve mother."

After being fooled by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wang almost forgot the original purpose of coming to the Zhenguo Mansion. He glanced at the beautiful Jiang Nanqiu and said with a fake smile, "The Imperial Concubine is deeply grateful for the favor of the Zhenguo Mansion's prince for rescuing Princess Qixia, so she specially sent us to invite Madam to the palace to talk."

Wang's face suddenly fell.

The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion had no relationship with Concubine Shen, so why did she summon Jiang Nanqiu to the palace for no reason? What was she planning?

Seeing Wang's unhappy expression, Wang added with a smile, "The Imperial Concubine is a kind person and will definitely not treat Madam badly. Please rest assured, Madam."

This was not a matter of concern. Jiang Nanqiu had never been to the palace before and did not know the palace rules. If he made a mistake, losing face for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would be a small matter, but being punished by malicious people in the palace would be a big deal.

Wang immediately said to Wang Zongguan, "My daughter-in-law has only been married for a few months. She doesn't know any rules or etiquette. She is not even qualified to appear at the palace banquet, let alone enter the palace alone."

As she spoke, Rong Mama stepped forward and said, "Why don't you accompany Madam to the palace? It's been a long time since you last paid your respects to the Imperial Concubine. It's time for you to go to the palace."

Wang was about to nod, but Manager Wang interrupted the conversation between Madam Rong and Wang with a low laugh, "The Imperial Concubine means that only your lady is allowed to enter the palace, without the need for anyone else to accompany her." His supervisory voice carried some sinister meaning.

Steward Wang acted as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal. No matter how Wang tried to refuse Jiang Nanqiu from entering the palace, he always had reasons to refute her.

As a result, Jiang Nanqiu was caught in a dilemma. Even if Wang Shi was not afraid of Concubine Shen's power in the palace, it would be disadvantageous to the Zhenguo Mansion if she had a grudge against such a favorite concubine.

So after a brief thought, Jiang Nanqiu agreed to what Manager Wang said.

"I heard that the nobles in the palace are all kind and gentle people. I think even if I don't know the rules, the imperial concubine will be able to be more sympathetic."

After hearing this, Wang sighed and said, "In this case, I, the daughter-in-law, will rely on your care, Manager Wang."

Steward Wang took the silver bag handed over by Rong Mama with a smile and said, "We understand."

After a brief confrontation, Steward Wang declared his victory with a sinister laugh and led Jiang Nanqiu towards the palace.

As soon as the figure of Wang Zongguan disappeared from Wang's sight, she became serious and said to Rong Mama, "No one comes to visit you for no reason. I don't know what Concubine Rong is up to. You should quickly send someone to inform Hui Anzhi. At least Nan Qiu must not be in trouble."

Madam Rong quickly agreed. She went to the corridor and called a quick maid to go find Jing Anzhi immediately.
