Chapter 40: The Desireless Prince vs. the Scheming Concubine in the Buddhist Temple 16
In a corner of the Imperial Garden, Pei Xiaoran was secretly observing with her good sister Xiao Zhiman. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she pointed at Meng Jiao in the crowd.
"Manman, Manman, it seems to be that one?"
Xiao Zhiman followed the princess's gaze and saw a pretty figure standing in the crowd. The red peonies beside her were blooming brightly, but they did not obscure her beauty in the slightest. Instead, they made her look even more beautiful than the flowers.
"The green dress and butterfly hairpin, if what Your Highness said is correct, it should be her."
Pei Xiaoran seemed to notice her good sister's low mood, so she spoke to comfort her.
"She's just pretty, but she's just a concubine. Don't worry. With your reputation as the most talented woman in Kyoto, when big brother gets over the novelty, won't his position as his principal wife be yours? Don't worry~"
She said so, but her eyes never left Meng Jiao.
Xiao Zhiman felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She had been well versed in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Her family had taught her etiquette and manners since she could remember.
Xiao Zhiman is the best in everything, striving to be the best in everything, just to be the match for the most noble man in the world in the future.
Pei Jinye had never treated anyone specially in the past, but this time he openly showed his affection to a woman. After all, she was still a little panicked in her heart, and she couldn't help but look at Meng Jiao with a critical eye.
On the other side, Meng Jiao sat down obediently with the other girls in the flower-viewing pavilion. She did not notice the gazes of the two people not far away, and was quietly waiting for the host of the banquet, the queen, to appear.
When his eyes met the beautiful girls in the garden, he couldn't help but think of Pei Jinye's past experience among these noble ladies. Although it was not his intention, he still felt jealous.
The royal family is so noble, with girls coming one after another. Pei Jinye can get a lot of girls just by raising his hand, Meng Jiao thought as she stroked her belly.
Pei Jinye greeted the emperor and then accompanied the emperor and empress into the imperial garden where the flower viewing banquet was held. As soon as he entered the garden, his eyes could not help but lock onto that charming figure.
The little girl was bowing with a group of people, but her little mouth was bulging with something stuffed in it...
It turned out to be an ancient-style pastry at Meng Jiao's novel banquet. It looked like peach blossoms, delicate and cute, and she could eat one in one bite. But who could tell her why there was five-nut filling inside when she bit it open!
Why! Why would this fictional dynasty have five-nut fillings!
Meng Jiao wrinkled her little face and took advantage of the Queen's request to get up and when no one was paying attention, she spat the cake into her embroidered handkerchief and exhaled deeply, only to feel the taste of the five-nut in her mouth still invading her five senses.
Taking advantage of the people around her to block her view, she quietly picked up a cup that looked like green tea and drank it in one gulp, hoping to dilute the strange taste in her mouth.
"puff!"
Meng Jiao's voice was neither loud nor soft.
Upon hearing this, the noble ladies around who knew her identity all looked at her with disdain, thinking to themselves that she was, after all, a concubine's daughter who had never seen the world. Even if she married the prince, she would still be vulgar and stupid.
Meng Jiao was busy dealing with the wine in her mouth, not paying much attention to the whispers of the people around her, but all of this was seen by the few people who were paying attention to her.
Pei Xiaoran was really dying of Meng Jiao's cuteness. She looked small, fair, and pretty like a porcelain doll. If someone else made the expression on her face, it would probably be ugly, but she made it look very cute.
Originally, she was just curious about who the concubine that the Crown Prince was interested in would be. After all, in her heart, a man as handsome as the Crown Prince could only be matched with a dignified and virtuous woman like Zhiman.
But today, when she met Meng Jiao, she really grew up in her heart. How could someone be so beautiful?
At the same time, Pei Jinye also saluted the queen. Seeing that the little girl was still in pain, he couldn't help but walk forward, crossed the carefully decorated Baihua Bridge in the Imperial Garden and walked straight towards her.
He was tall and slender, wearing a dark purple brocade robe, with luxurious jade pendants on his waist. His elegant and handsome face was as beautiful as a god, so gentle and graceful. He protected Meng Jiao by his side, and his doting and caring attitude made the noble ladies behind him feel dazed.
Meng Jiao was unaware of all this, except for the pain in her throat caused by the fruit wine. She loved wine, but she had two little ones in her stomach, so she was so scared that she vomited them out quickly.
Seeing Pei Jinye striding towards her across the crowd, she endured the sting in her throat and bowed politely.
"Your Highness,"
Pei Jinye helped her up and stopped her from bowing. Hearing her hoarse voice and glancing at the empty wine glass on the table, he understood.
"Are you okay?"
Meng Jiao saw the concern in his eyes, and her heart was filled with honey. She shook her head and spoke obediently.
"I am fine, Your Highness, don't worry."
Pei Jinye nodded, took her hand and walked through the crowd towards the position of the emperor and empress. When he passed by the noble ladies who had just looked down on Meng Jiao, he glanced at them fiercely, which made them feel cold in their hearts.
Meng Jiao followed him obediently. Seeing this, she understood something. Looking at the man's broad back, she felt sweet in her heart.
At the beginning of the banquet, the Emperor and Empress were chatting with Princess Duan Ning after receiving greetings from the crowd. The flower viewing banquet officially began. Everyone stood up and began to recite poems and gossip in front of the flowers in the garden.
Pei Jinye took Meng Jiao forward and spoke to the three people whose eyes were full of gossip.
Although the three of them didn't show it on their faces, they looked at each other and didn't miss the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Father, Mother, this is Jiaojiao, the title of Liang Di that I asked your permission to confer upon her earlier."
Meng Jiao also followed Pei Jinye and bowed to the emperor and empress, with standard manners and grace.
"Your son bows to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress. Long live my father, and a thousand years to my mother."
"Okay, okay, get up now, no need to be so polite."
As the Queen spoke, she stared at Meng Jiao's little face without blinking, secretly sighing that the Emperor had good taste. If these two had a child, who knows how good-looking it would be.
Thinking of this, and thinking of the purpose of summoning Pei Jinye to the backyard today, he ordered people to summon Concubine Wen and the others.
When everyone was present, the tone was joking but the deep meaning could not be concealed.
"I called you here today, first, to enjoy the flowers in the garden, and second, I have prepared some small gifts for you. This year you must continue to work hard to expand my royal family, do you understand?"
As she spoke, the maid beside the queen handed out some jade bracelets that had been prepared long ago to several people. The emperor beside her saw this, stroked his beard and nodded seriously.
It's time to punish these children. He's so anxious that they haven't given him a grandson yet.
Thinking of this, he also encouraged and agreed, and at the same time signaled to Pei Jinye
"You have to work hard! Whoever lets me hold my little grandson first will be rewarded handsomely! And you, among all the beautiful girls in the garden, if you like any of them, just tell your father."
Pei Jinye stood aside helplessly, frowning and smiling bitterly. He had not expected that his father and mother would use this trick to force him, but he felt bitter in his heart, and he did not mean it.
Meng Jiao calculated the days until her pregnancy ended, wondering if the imperial doctors of this era could diagnose the disease in just over a month.
Using her sleeves to cover her eyes, Meng Jiao quietly hooked Pei Jinye's little finger and smiled at him.
Pei Jinye felt a little relieved.
Yes, he has Jiaojiao now.
