Before the flower-viewing banquet ended, the queen indeed called Yuan Qingling and Princess Sun over to ask whose noble daughter they particularly liked.
Princess Sun said a few things, but Yuan Qingling shook her head and said, "No."
These words attracted the attention of the queen and several empresses.
Everyone secretly said that Princess Chu was jealous, and it was true.
However, in front of Concubine Xian, no one said anything.
The queen also forced a smile and said, "Since it doesn't agree with you, then that's it."
Yuan Qingling received a fierce look from Concubine Xian.
When leaving the palace, Aunt Xi said: "The princess should say a few words."
"How many?" Yuan Qingling was depressed, "I don't want to say any of them, how many more?"
Aunt Xi said: "It's just perfunctory. After all, we can't accommodate a few concubines. The queen is hosting the flower appreciation banquet, and she talks about a few she likes. It's also to give the queen face. Does the princess think that Princess Sun is really here?"
It's just a face-saving effort, perfunctory. It doesn't offend the queen, nor does it hurt her own reputation. And the princess will probably be found guilty of being jealous tonight."";
Yuan Qingling silently asked the sky, who knows? s11();
Back at the palace, Yu Wenhao pretended not to care and walked around Yuan Qingling, but he didn't ask anything out loud for fear of asking the wrong topic and offending someone.
Yuan Qingling said angrily: "Sit down. Don't glare at me."
Yu Wenhao sat lazily beside her and asked casually: "How about the flower viewing party tonight?"
"The reward is dazzling." Yuan Qing looked at him, feeling a little irritated, "Does every prince have to have a concubine?"
"Not necessarily." Yu Wenhao held her belly, "If your belly is good, I will have an excuse to refuse to my father."
Yuan Qing Ling was very melancholy, "How can I be successful?"
"Ten or eight."
Yuan Qing was furious, "I'm not a sow."
Yu Wenhao was actually very panicked.
He doesn't want any concubine. He is living a good life. If he comes back with a concubine, Lao Yuan will definitely quarrel with him every day.
Thinking about those days makes me sick.
However, this kind of thing cannot be allowed to be decided by him at all. Even if he refuses in every possible way and has a firm attitude, even if his father decides to give him one by decree, there is nothing he can do.
That's why he told Yuan Qingling tonight that she would not do it, and he didn't care whether she was accused of jealousy or not.
So what if I'm jealous? I'm jealous because I care about him.
Yuan Qingling saw that he was also frowning and said: "The queen asked me, but I said that no one would marry me, but there is a girl who said she wants to marry you."
"Who?" Yu Wenhao raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, bold!
Go kill her tomorrow.
"My name is Yuan Yongyi. She is said to be the granddaughter or daughter of General Yuan. I don't remember. She is a handkerchief to your sister Yu Wenling."
Yu Wenhao was startled, "Girl? She said she wanted to marry me? Absolutely impossible."
"Why is it impossible?" Yuan Qing asked him.
Yu Wenhao sneered, "Every time Yi girl sees me, she is so scared that she hides away. How could she want to marry me as a concubine if she is so afraid of me?"
"But she really said that." Yuan Qing Ling said.
She feels that if a girl avoids him, she may not be really afraid of him, but may be because she likes him, is shy, and doesn't know how to approach him.
She said: "Is it because I like you that I avoid you on purpose? She is shy."
"Shy?" Yu Wenhao laughed loudly, "I believe you when you say you are shy, but I definitely don't believe her when she is shy. This girl is not afraid of anything, even if she is a humble one."
Yuan Qing pointed at him, "We should not be talking about the same person. When I saw her tonight, she looked shy the whole time. Although she was looking straight at me, she would subconsciously dodge when I touched her."
Yu Wenhao was also surprised and said: "Then it must not be the same person. Yi Yatou will never be shy. She is braver than men."
"Then why do you say she is afraid of you?"
Yu Wenhao talked about the past, "When she entered the palace for the first time, she must have been only five or six years old at that time. It was Mrs. Yuan who took her into the palace to meet the emperor's grandmother to pay her respects. I was only eleven or twelve years old at the time.
For fun, there was a little snake in the imperial garden. I caught it and thought it was funny, so I wanted to give it to the imperial grandmother. However, when I let go, the snake burrowed under Yi Yatou's skirt, scaring her so much that she burst into tears on the spot.
After that, the only things she feared most in her life were snakes and me."";
He looked proud when talking about his great achievements.
Emperor Ming Yuan naturally paid great attention to the death of a concubine, and she was still pregnant. The Empress Dowager was also furious. Whether it was a mistake or whether she fell into the lake on her own, the Jingzhao Mansion must investigate clearly.
Strong contrast.
A picture has emerged in Yuan Qingling's mind.
Fell into the lake.
s11(); Yuan Qingling was surprised, "Yuan Yongyi?"
After King Qi's concubine was settled, something happened to one of the concubines in Prince Ji's Mansion.
Yu Wenhao couldn't hide his joy, "Yes, I asked you over the age, the girl you saw that day was Yi Yatou. Chu Mingcui had sex with several girls that night, and one of them was her."
Yuan Qingling was very curious when he heard this.
Two days later, Yu Wenhao came back from the palace happily and took Yuan Qingling into Xiaoyue Pavilion.
Yuan Qing rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are really a hero for scaring a little girl into tears."
The man was out of breath when he was rescued.
King Ji originally had two concubines, but one of them died of a sudden illness. King Ji was disheartened, so he scattered all the concubines and beauties in the palace, leaving only Concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu was naturally unable to ask, so Yu Wenhao still had to ask Prince Ji as usual.
"That's right, girl."
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "Who can hold on and who can't is another matter. But why did Princess Qi choose her? It's not like she doesn't know her temperament."
What's that girl's temperament like?
Yu Wenhao took over the investigation and asked the people serving around Concubine Liu, and found out that Concubine Liu's father had written a letter asking Concubine Liu to intercede with Prince Ji. He really couldn't stay there anymore.
Yuan Qingling was shocked, "That girl, how can she be Chu Mingcui's opponent? Oh my God, King Qi is obsessed with Chu Mingcui, and Chu Mingcui's methods are vicious. That girl can last for half a year after marrying him."
The father of Concubine Liu was the former minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Later, he was convicted by the emperor because of unclear accounts and was sent to a barbaric land to serve as a county magistrate.
Yuan Yongyi huddled in the corner holding her head, sobbing and shaking, looking miserable, while Chu Mingcui sat arrogantly aside and looked at her coldly.
As for whether Concubine Liu interceded with Prince Ji, you have to ask Prince Ji and Concubine Liu.
The Jingzhao Mansion naturally wanted to investigate the matter, and after examining the body, they discovered that the concubine had just become pregnant.
"Who?" Yuan Qingling asked subconsciously.
Yu Wenhao was relaxed. If it was Yi Yatou, there was absolutely no way she would want to marry him.
"Lao Qi's concubine has been decided." He said excitedly.
