The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again
Chapter 688: The Coveted Minister's Wife 37
The eldest aunt sighed and said, "Do you know what outsiders say about Nan Qiu? They all say behind her back that she has a bad fate and is unlucky for her husband. The Pei family was doing well before she got married, but on the night she got married, her ex-husband was arrested and thrown into jail twice. Now he is being exiled to such a faraway place..."
This was something my great aunt-in-law overheard when she went to watch an opera. She was so angry that she almost had a fight with the person who was speaking!
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people in the Jiang family changed.
Jiang Nanqiu's elder brother Jiang Yuxian asked, "What was the Pei family like before? Do you think everyone doesn't know? That incident happened many years ago, and you're dragging my sister into it?"
My aunt said, "Why are you trying to reason with those fools? They have spread the word like this, and the false has become true and profitable. If Nan Qiu doesn't find a decent man while she is still young, she will not be able to find anyone in the future. If she was a first-time bride, there would be no gossip outside, and I would not agree to come and help. What's the benefit of harming your own child?"
This made Jiang's father speechless. He was angry but couldn't vent it. But it was not easy to break up with this aunt, so he could only leave angrily.
Jiang's mother had no choice but to apologize to her sister-in-law with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you have good intentions, we all know that. He is just that kind of person, and he can't let it go. Please don't be offended, sister-in-law."
My aunt snorted coldly, "You've been married to him for so many years, I know his temper. He's just a child. If you really want to make a fuss about it, I'll be the one who suffers. But what do you think about the Lin family's matter? They're still waiting for a reply."
At this time, it was Jiang Nanqiu's eldest sister-in-law, Sun, who was witty. She said, "To be honest, it's hard to deal with the Lin family's affairs for the time being. Yesterday, someone from my mother's family proposed a marriage to my younger sister. He is a scholar with a clean appearance. His parents are gone, and the family is very simple. If she marries him, she will be the head of the family. We will wait for my younger sister to see the scholar and make a decision. If she doesn't like him, we can look at the Lin family."
Sun didn't dare to say it firmly, otherwise if the aunt-in-law found out something was wrong, it would ruin the relationship between the two families.
My aunt took it seriously and said, "That's much better than the Lin family. There are fewer people, so they don't have to suffer as much. It's also good for scholars. Even if they are a little poor, your family gave them more dowry, so they will have a chance to become rich in the future. You can quickly send Nan Qiu to take a look, and I will delay the Lin family."
After saying this, my uncle’s wife stopped drinking her tea and left in a hurry.
Jiang Yuxian smiled at his wife Sun and said, "My wife, this is a really good idea. At least I didn't offend anyone."
Mother Jiang said, "Although Auntie is a bit old-fashioned, she also loves your sister."
But then, Jiang's mother became worried again. The lie had been told, but how could she cover it up?
.............
In the palace, there has been peace and quiet for more than half a month. The palace maids and eunuchs are still doing their own jobs, but the apparent calm is not real calm.
Concubine Chen has been feeling very anxious these days, and she has nightmares all the time.
But the next day she could not remember what she had dreamed about, and she felt inexplicably uneasy.
This made her temper even worse, and the palace maids and eunuchs who served her closely lived in fear, fearing that their queen would lose her temper again and take her anger out on the servants the next second.
Concubine Chen sat there during the day, often thinking of the Fifth Prince, and then asked the palace servants around her, "How long has the Fifth Prince not come to the palace? Has he caused any trouble?"
However, she was talking to herself after all, and did not need the palace servants to answer for her. The palace servants who served the imperial concubine lowered their heads and did not answer, including Qiao Shuang.
Because this kind of situation happened to me a long time ago.
Those who answer this question will not have any good results.
Concubine Chen seemed to be thinking of the Fifth Prince and the last dispute.
After all, the last time they separated, both of them were unhappy. After so many days, the Fifth Prince had not come to Guanju Palace once, and Concubine Chen was not very satisfied. But Concubine Chen was not willing to ask her son first.
"It's been so long, do I, as a mother, have to admit my mistakes?"
Madam Qian smiled and said, "Perhaps the Emperor knows."
In this palace, the only person who can speak in front of the imperial concubine is Madam Qian. There was such a person before, but she is dead.
Concubine Chen was stunned, "You are right."
"But the emperor hasn't come to Guanju Palace for several days."
It is said that the emperor stayed in his own Qianqing Palace these days, and even when the empress looked for him, she could not see him.
Thinking of this, Concubine Chen felt more and more uneasy.
"I don't know why, but I feel more and more uneasy. Mammy, what do you think is going on?" Concubine Chen muttered to herself again.
This time, Nanny Qian didn't say anything.
She has already told you the solution, and the Empress knows exactly what to do.
Concubine Chen had no idea what to do the whole morning and spent it in a daze and emptiness. However, after lunch, after procrastinating for a long time, she finally followed her heart and went to the imperial study to find Emperor Huiying with Nanny Qian, bringing a bowl of very soft and glutinous longan and lotus seed soup cooked in the small kitchen.
Emperor Huiying spent the daytime these days carefully reviewing memorials in the imperial study, and would not return to his bedroom in the Qianqing Palace until late at night to sleep alone.
But even if I tried to sleep, I couldn't fall asleep.
In front of the ministers, his expression was the same as usual. However, only he and Liu Rong, who served him closely, knew that he was not good.
Recently, Emperor Huiying has been thinking about many things from the past, about him, the Imperial Concubine, the Fifth Prince, and Shuyu. Emperor Huiying has just discovered that during the many days when he was coaxing the Imperial Concubine, Shuyu not only had to deal with the two adults, but also had to take care of the Fifth Prince.
The fifth prince was also very attached to her. But he couldn't remember when this mother-son-like attachment had changed.
After many days of diligent investigation, the secret guards finally drew portraits of all the women favored by the Fifth Prince over the years, and now they are presenting them to him.
Emperor Huiying held those portraits in his hands, and the little hope he had always held in his heart was also shattered.
The calmness on his face, which he was always proud of, was broken, and now showed a fragile and dilapidated look.
If it was a coincidence that Sui Huan, who looked so much like Shu Yu, was involved with the Fifth Prince, it was a frame-up. Then why did so many women of the Fifth Prince's past have similarities with Shu Yu in their eyebrows and feathers?
It’s either the eyes, the nose, the mouth, or between the eyebrows.
It turns out the truth is really cruel.
Emperor Huiying looked at the secret guard standing in front of him and said dignifiedly, "This matter must be kept to ourselves. Not a single word of it can be leaked out. Do you understand?"
The secret guard immediately bowed expressionlessly and said, "Yes!"
Then retreat quietly!
Outside the Imperial Study Room
The chief eunuch Liu Rong listened to the eunuch's message and sighed inwardly.
He looked at Concubine Chen standing in the cold wind, and somehow thought of his godson Liuquan, whom he had always favored. Thinking of him being beaten to death, and the same fate of the palace servants in Biluozhai, his body shuddered suddenly and he stood up straighter. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still walked in and knocked on the door of the imperial study.
"Come in!" A majestic voice came from inside.
Liu Rong just gently pushed open the door of the imperial study and looked up slightly, and saw Emperor Huiying's eyes, like cold arrows, shooting at him.
Liu Rong fell to his knees with a thud and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Imperial Concubine Chen is here and is waiting outside!" After saying that, he lowered his head even more submissively.
Emperor Huiying really wanted to say, "No, let her go," but in the end, he didn't say it.
After sitting for a long time, Emperor Huiying said, "Let her in."
