The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Concubine Jing put her hand on Wang Ying's arm. As she walked in with such grace and grace, several people in the room looked at her, making Concubine An, who was in her twenties, look pale in comparison.

"Your Majesty, Hello, Queen." After bending over and performing the salute, Imperial Concubine Jing glanced at His Majesty with a seductive look, which made Emperor Jianyuan pause slightly as he stroked his beard.

Concubine An followed behind her, cautiously and shyly, with a kind of fragility that made people pity her. "Your Majesty, how are the Queen?" Her voice was filled with the pleasant Wu dialect.

Concubine Shu stood up from her chair and greeted the two of them.

Imperial Concubine Jing smiled meaningfully: "It's rare to see my sister visiting us."

Concubine Shu smiled and replied, "Just now the Queen said that we are destined to meet today, so I will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and pass on these words to you, sister."

Princess Zhao Xuan bowed and shouted, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. The loquats in the palace are ripe. I just wonder if there is anything that Concubine Jing, who has been ill for some time, is averse to eating?"

Imperial Concubine Jing looked at the Emperor and Empress who were sitting on the upper Luohan bed. There was a plate of fruit on the table between them. She waved a round fan in her hand:

"I appreciate the kindness of the Princess and Consort Shu, but loquats taste sour, and I am not as blessed as the Empress."

"Speaking of sour taste..." The Queen held a small orange-yellow fruit, seemingly lost in memories:

"That winter, Huipin kept talking about wanting to eat loquats. It was her first pregnancy and she had severe morning sickness. Where could we find this for her in the middle of winter..."

The smile on Concubine Jing's face froze for a moment, and then the smile lines at the corners of her lips deepened. "Thinking back then, Huipin followed the Empress' lead in everything. She has been in the cold palace for so many years, I'm sure the Empress has taken good care of her, right?"

The teacup in Emperor Jianyuan's hand fell lightly on the table on the kang. Seeing this, the Empress ordered the chief eunuch:

"Wang Quan, go and take a look. Didn't they just say that Lord Jiang and Princess Anping would be here soon? They didn't know that His Majesty was delayed in Kunning Palace."

After hearing this, Wang Quan agreed and trotted out.

When Concubine Jing heard the words "Princess of Anping County", she looked at the Empress who was praised for her virtue, talent, gentleness and virtue, and smiled.

Seeing this, Emperor Jianyuan asked, "My beloved concubine, you haven't been out for a long time. Are you feeling better now?"

Although Concubine Jing was of humble origin, and not as magnanimous as the Empress, nor as dignified and beautiful as Concubine Shu, she was a stunningly beautiful woman when she was young.

Although she is a little jealous, it is also a kind of interest, so she has been favored in this deep palace for many years.

Hearing the emperor's question, she turned her head and looked at Emperor Jianyuan with a smile and said:

"I am just worried about the second prince's marriage. That child is very kind and always talks about respecting elders in private."

"He insisted on waiting until his brother married the eldest princess before he would consider his own marriage."

The queen took the wet towel that Fang Ruo handed to her, wiped her hands and said softly:

"I heard that the Second Prince was in love with the girl from the Shen family. Now that the Shen family has been vindicated, it would be a good thing if they could rekindle their past relationship."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Jing snorted softly, with an undisguised look of disdain on her face:

"That Shen Meishuang is now an orphan, how can she be worthy of my Xu'er? The Queen is so cruel, does she want such a tough person to be the nemesis of the Second Prince?"

When Concubine Shu heard her words, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and looked towards the door, hiding the expression on her face that was somewhat out of control.

No one in the harem has been more beautiful than Concubine Jing in these years. She is simple-minded but always shows her happiness, which is why the emperor thinks she is simple-minded and has favored her for many years.

Her words touched the queen's sore spot, and she harshly criticized her, "You are so outrageous!"

The Queen's upbringing prevents her from saying anything unpleasant, not to mention that she also has to consider the Emperor.

Emperor Jianyuan beside her also looked surprised, as the eldest prince and the second prince were both his children.

The innuendos made by Concubine Jing were not only inappropriate but also extremely treasonous.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, "Sir Jiang, the Princess of Anping is here!"

Concubine Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Shu, "Speaking of the girl from the Shen family, didn't Master Jiang Wu discuss marriage with her before? Now she..."

Concubine Shu looked over coldly, her voice was colder than ever before, "Sister, your body hasn't recovered yet, right? Otherwise, how dare you speak so recklessly in front of the Emperor and the Empress?"

After saying this, she turned her head and looked at Emperor Jianyuan, "Although I was born in the military family of Duke Dingguo, I also know that the harem has no right to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. If the censor knew what happened today, the emperor would not be able to hear in peace again."

As they were talking, the chief eunuch Wang Quan led Gu Jinchu and Jiang Nansheng in.

The quiet and luxurious Kunning Palace now has a dull and depressing feeling.

Their entry seemed to bring a breath of fresh air. One was handsome and the other was beautiful like a flower, which dazzled everyone in the room.

Especially the Queen and Imperial Concubine Jing, who only knew today that the Princess of Anping County would be so beautiful. Standing next to the famous Fifth Master Jiang in Shengjing, she was not inferior at all.

"Your servant Jiang Nansheng...Your servant Gu Jinchu pays respects to the Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine Shu, Imperial Concubine Jing, the Princess, and the Imperial Concubine An."

Jiang Nansheng and Gu Jinchu paid their respects to the nobles in Kunning Palace.

The emperor and empress at the top had returned to normal. Emperor Jianyuan raised his hand and said, "This is not the former court. You two don't have to be too reserved."

Gu Jinchu placed his hand on the hand that Jiang Nansheng extended to him, stood up, and looked up at the Emperor and Empress.

After taking a look, he looked away obediently. With just one glance, he found that Emperor Jianyuan had changed a lot from the last time.

His face looked much more rosy, as if a dying person had suddenly regained youth.

"Lord Jiang and Princess Anping are a perfect example of a talented man and a beautiful woman. I feel very happy just by looking at them. My mood has become better for no reason. Lord Jiang is so lucky."

The Queen asked Fang Ruo to take out the gift she had prepared:

"The eldest prince went to Sanjiang City this time, thanks to General Zheng's care. I didn't have a chance to say thank you. When Princess Anping meets the old lady of the Zheng family, remember to say hello to me."

Gu Jinchu took the gift and bowed to express his gratitude: "Third uncle is a minister. The eldest prince went to comfort the soldiers there on behalf of the emperor. This is the greatest recognition of their efforts. He is just doing what all subjects should do."

Emperor Jianyuan nodded, and the worry he had felt not long ago now became relaxed and indifferent, "As expected of a Zheng family member, you are courageous and sensible."

Zheng Wenyang, who is far away in Sanjiang Fortress, and Zheng Kaicheng, who is now on duty in the Ministry of Personnel, both have deep thoughts, ideals and ambitions, and their ability to act far exceeds many people. They are rare talents.

Lady An, who had been silent the whole time, took a deep look at Gu Jinchu and Jiang Nansheng and said:

"The dress of Anping County Princess today is somewhat inconsistent with the rules, and it is too disrespectful..."
