The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again
Chapter 680: The Coveted Minister's Wife 29
When Jiang Nanqiu entered the main hall of Guanju Palace, he saw the emperor sitting on the main seat.
The Guanju Palace is very large and spacious. The walls and pillars in the palace are decorated with clouds and patterns in various shapes and sizes, which are extremely gorgeous.
Emperor Huiying was sitting on the throne wearing a crown, and the white jade beads hanging in front of his eyes obscured his royal face, so his expression and appearance could not be seen clearly. However, Jiang Nanqiu could see He Yuxiang, who was standing next to Emperor Huiying, very clearly.
Although he looked straight ahead and cold, when he met Jiang Nanqiu's gaze, his eyes flashed with a gentle and comforting smile.
Emperor Huiying sat sideways, looking lazy and tired. According to Nanny Su, the emperor was reviewing memorials and heard from somewhere that she had entered the palace and was about to leave, so he came to Guanju Palace specifically to see her.
Jiang Nanqiu was actually a little nervous. She really couldn't understand what was there to see for herself, the daughter of a merchant.
However, Jiang Nanqiu always felt that it couldn't be a good thing that the current emperor noticed him and came to take a look.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanqiu knelt down and bowed her head, saying, "I, your wife Pei, pay my respects to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. May the Emperor live long and may the Imperial Concubine live a thousand years."
Emperor Huiying probably already knew from the Imperial Concubine that Jiang Nanqiu had a veil on her face, so he asked, "How does Madam Pei feel now? Are you feeling better?"
Jiang Nanqiu replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. After drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, I feel much better. However, the red spots on my face have not yet faded, so I can only wear a veil to avoid disturbing your majesty."
Emperor Huiying didn't say anything, but Concubine Chen interrupted and said, "You are quite tactful."
"It's just that I heard that your face was covered with red spots after you came out of the Queen's Palace. The imperial physician also said that you ate something that you were allergic to. What did you eat in the Queen's Palace that caused this?"
Jiang Nanqiu couldn't afford to offend the Imperial Concubine, nor did she dare to offend the Empress, so she quickly explained, "My Imperial Concubine, this matter has nothing to do with the Empress. It's my own health problem. Whenever I don't get enough sleep or have a serious illness, my body will be weak. At this time, even if I eat my normal diet, I will get this kind of rash all over my face."
"Although it is not contagious, it does affect the appearance. I was so excited to go to the palace to see the Queen that I didn't sleep well for two nights in a row, so this is what happened."
After hearing this, Concubine Chen snorted and stopped talking.
Emperor Huiying listened quietly to the chat between Concubine Chen and Jiang Nanqiu without interrupting.
Emperor Huiying had known that Jiang Nanqiu would enter the palace today. He had no intention of meeting Jiang Nanqiu. After all, the disputes between the Fifth Prince and the Imperial Concubine had happened more than once or twice.
But after Jiang Nan entered the palace today, he heard from the eunuch Liu Rong beside him that the imperial concubine and the fifth prince had quarreled again. It seemed that it was still because of a woman.
Emperor Huiying immediately thought of Jiang Nanqiu and became unhappy.
A woman caused disputes between her imperial concubine and her beloved son again and again. In an ordinary family, parents and elders would think it was the woman's fault, because she disturbed the peace of the family. Although the royal family is much larger and more complicated than an ordinary family, it also longs for happiness and peace. Although the Fifth Prince was wrong in this matter, it takes two to tango. If Jiang Nanqiu was really innocent, how could his Fifth Prince do such a thing as forcibly occupying the grandson of Pei Taigong?
Although the Fifth Prince likes beautiful women, there are so many beautiful women in the world. Over the years, I have never heard of the Fifth Prince liking women from other families!
Although others would think that Emperor Huiying was being too protective of his shortcomings without distinguishing right from wrong, since the matter was not made public, Emperor Huiying was not afraid of being scolded behind his back.
Emperor Huiying thought so, looking at Jiang Nanqiu's graceful figure and her sparkling, a little too beautiful eyes, and he had an idea in his mind.
"I heard that not long after you married into the Pei family, you took all your dowry back to your parents' home and planned to divorce the Pei family. Is this true?"
Jiang Nanqiu was a little hesitant.
She didn't know the deep meaning of the emperor's question. Because originally, she hadn't prepared for this. After all, she was going to the palace to see the queen today. Who knew that the emperor and the imperial concubine also wanted to see her.
What is the deep meaning of the emperor's question? Jiang Nanqiu wanted to say directly that he did want to divorce Pei Shao. But he was afraid that he could not grasp the emperor's meaning and face other storms. But if he went against his own wishes and his parents' wishes and said that he had no such intention? In that case, he would be deceiving the emperor. Moreover, he would eventually have to take the path of completely parting ways with the Pei family.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanqiu raised her head and replied to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I do have this intention." After saying that, Jiang Nanqiu lowered her head again and stopped talking.
Emperor Hui Ying probably didn't expect Jiang Nanqiu to answer his question so directly, so he didn't speak immediately.
However, Concubine Chen, who was sitting next to Emperor Huiying, said angrily, "People usually say that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. You have only been married into the Pei family for a few days. How can you ruthlessly abandon the young master of the Pei family and divorce him just because he was convicted and imprisoned?"
No one likes being talked about like this by others, especially when the meaning is misinterpreted.
Jiang Nanqiu was very unconvinced. She raised her head, her eyes misty. "I am not that kind of person. It's just that I have only known my husband for a short time and have no feelings for him. And since our wedding night, too many things have happened one after another. I am really tired and scared. I just want to go home and live a peaceful life."
She sounded so weak, heartbroken, and exhausted when she spoke these words that Concubine Chen almost jumped up.
Emperor Huiying quickly held the imperial concubine's hand in a comforting manner.
Jiang Nanqiu knelt for a long time before facing Jiang Nanqiu again. However, his expression was no longer as gentle as it was at the beginning, but very cold instead.
Jiang Nanqiu could understand.
No matter what, the imperial concubine is always his family, and no matter how right Jiang Nanqiu is, he is still an outsider. When family members and outsiders are together, it is rare that they will support the right instead of the relatives.
Even with his head lowered, Jiang Nanqiu could still feel the sharp and cold gaze coming from where the emperor was sitting.
Just when Jiang Nanqiu didn't know what would happen next, he heard Emperor Huiying say in a cold and ruthless voice, "As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. Perhaps you and the young master of the Pei family are not destined to be husband and wife. In this case, summon the young master of the Pei family into the palace."
Jiang Nanqiu had his head lowered, but after hearing these words, he suddenly raised it with a look of disbelief on his face.
