Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 386 The unspeakable feeling
These women in the deep palace have been oppressed by the queen and high-ranking concubines all year round. They have a lot of anger but no place to vent it. In addition, there is a bit of competition among women. When they see someone living a better life than themselves, they feel uncomfortable as if they were being scratched by a cat.
In the past, Prince Gong held Princess Gong in his hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in his mouth for fear of her melting. They even wore the same clothes with her in public. Their display of affection made the unfavored concubines jealous.
They seem glamorous on the surface, like high and mighty queens, but only they themselves know the bitterness behind it.
Emperor Beiling was a notoriously fickle person, and getting tired of the old and loving the new was as common as eating. Most of the concubines in the harem were thrown aside after their virgin night, and some of them almost forgot what Emperor Beiling looked like.
So, seeing Jiang Xue being treated like a treasure by Xiao Zhan, I felt so jealous.
When they heard the news that Princess Gong had fallen out of favor, they all became excited and rushed over, wishing they could step on her, as if this could prove that their lives were not so bad.
"Oh, I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Gong has been as cold as a popsicle towards Princess Gong recently. What's going on? Could it be that Princess Gong is not good enough and His Royal Highness has lost interest in her?"
The words became more and more outrageous, even Fu Dong, who usually had a good temper, became a little furious and wanted to start a direct fight.
Not to mention Xiaochun, his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound. If Fudong hadn't stopped him, he would have punched him right away.
"This lady is so interested in the secrets of Changle and His Highness's boudoir."
Jiang Xue suppressed her anger, raised her eyes and stared at the concubine who had a sharp tongue. Her cold eyes frightened the other person so much that his scalp went numb. He swallowed the words back, and the gloating expression on his face froze. He involuntarily took a half step back.
"Madam Liu is concerned about Princess Gong, so why should she be angry? Maybe what Madam Liu said does make sense, which is why you are so furious?" Concubine Shu glanced at Madam Liu and cursed her in her heart for being a coward, then took a step forward and said to Jiang Xue.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. Changle is not angry, but I just feel strange. I didn't expect that the ladies in the harem would gossip about the same things as the aunties at the entrance of the village, gossiping about the neighbors. Instead of gossiping about other people's private affairs, you might as well think more about the emperor's preferences. Maybe in this way, the emperor's grace will be bestowed upon you."
If it comes to talking, Jiang Xue has never met an opponent in her life.
Since the other party attacked first, she had to fight back and hit the other party where it hurt.
As soon as these words came out, the ladies who had been sneering at her just now blushed like monkeys' butts. This woman was really sharp-tongued. She knew very well that they were not favored, but she still used the emperor's grace to poke at their sore spots.
Comparing them to country aunties? That's too much.
"Princess Gong, please watch your words!" Concubine Shu shouted, staring at her.
It would have been fine if she just scolded those small characters, but she even dragged me, Zhao Jinyan, into this. It seemed that if this woman wasn't taught a lesson, she really wouldn't know her place.
"Princess Gong, Qinwen knows that you were wronged by His Royal Highness Prince Gong and you feel bad, but you can't take your anger out on the ladies who care about you. They asked all kinds of questions for your own good and wanted to help you with advice, but you turned them away and hurt everyone's feelings."
Wu Meifeng and Concubine Shu exchanged glances and slowly walked forward, only to see Concubine Shu move aside to make room for her.
"Jiang Xue, judging from your expression, you probably don't know that the Emperor has already issued an order yesterday for His Royal Highness Prince Gong to take a concubine, and His Royal Highness Prince Gong has already agreed."
Wu Meifeng slowly approached Jiang Xue, their necks brushed against each other, and she leaned close to Jiang Xue's ear and whispered.
This news was like a bolt from the blue to Jiang Xue, shaking her to pieces.
The originally calm sea of heart was suddenly stirred up by huge waves.
Yun Che had never mentioned a single word to her about taking a concubine.
"I told you this with good intentions, you should thank me."
Noticing Jiang Xue's shock, Wu Meifeng laughed so hard that she shook with laughter.
Yes, this was the expression she wanted to see.
After battling wits and courage with Jiang Xue for so long, Wu Meifeng finally tasted the sweetness of victory.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, do you feel lonely sleeping alone these nights?"
After the heavy blow, Wu Meifeng's words were like a fatal punch, hitting Jiang Xue's heart hard.
How did she know that she had been sleeping alone these days?
Her mind was working rapidly, and after a moment, Jiang Xue suddenly looked up.
Is it...
"Just as you thought, Sister Changle."
When she cried "sister", Jiang Xue seemed to hear the sound of a broken heart.
"Changle! Changle!" In Luanyi Palace, the Queen Mother shouted twice before Jiang Xue came back to her senses.
She felt a sharp pain in her finger and looked down. It turned out that the embroidery needle had pierced her finger. Bright red blood dripped onto the silk handkerchief, staining the plum blossom she had embroidered red.
"Girl, what are you thinking about? You're so obsessed. You didn't even notice that your finger was pricked."
When the Queen Mother saw that Jiang Xue's finger was injured, she put down the embroidery needle with heartache and asked Mo Yan to quickly get the best ointment and apply it to her carefully.
“Queen Dowager, I heard that Yun Che wants to marry a young lady?”
Jiang Xue muttered to herself, with an indescribable feeling in her voice.
When the Queen Mother heard this, her movements paused slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and continued to work.
"Changle, it's common for a royal man to have three wives and four concubines. You have to learn to be more open-minded."
Three wives and four concubines... common...
Jiang Xue savored these six words over and over again, feeling a bitter taste in her mouth.
Yes, looking at the ten countries, which royal family didn't have many wives and concubines? Even though her father loved her mother so much, there were still three or four concubines in the harem.
She was so immersed in her love with Xiao Zhan that she forgot that he would eventually get married.
She didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly.
In the dream, when she learned that Jun Li was surrounded by women, she felt similarly.
I thought this kind of feeling would never happen again in this life, but fate likes to play jokes.
"I served your husband well during the night when I was alone in the empty room." The words Wu Meifeng said when she left were like a poisonous snake that drilled into Jiang Xue's ears and bit her heart fiercely.
She dared to tell her, obviously not afraid of her speaking out.
Jealousy once again emerged from the bottom of her heart, and she once again experienced the same heart-wrenching pain as in her previous life.
In the following days, the Queen Mother noticed that Jiang Xue did not look very well. She knew that she must be unhappy about taking a concubine. She sighed and let her go home to rest early.
After returning to Prince Gong's Mansion, Jiang Xue locked herself in the room and sat alone at the table, neither speaking nor moving.
"What's wrong with the princess?" Qing Feng stayed in the mansion to help because his injury had not yet healed. Seeing Jiang Xue acting so abnormally after returning, he went to find the two girls guarding the door to inquire about the situation.
