The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Xia Yan and the others went forward to greet the empress and noble lady. The empress is over forty years old, she is well maintained but does not look old, she has been in a high position all the year round but does not have the aura of superiority. Perhaps she is not favored, only the emperor's respect and the son of the prince At first glance, she looked no different from an ordinary official woman. She smiled and asked Xia Yan and the others to stand up, with a very honest and friendly expression.

Concubine Xian is a little younger, she looks cute and cute, with a kind of innocence that doesn't know the world, no wonder she gave birth to a son with mediocre qualifications like the fourth prince Ye Lang. Concubine De is old, and she sits dignified and virtuous, worthy of the word "virtue". The fifth prince Ye Hua's reputation in the court is also very stable, loyal, filial and brave, at least he is a virtuous person.

Concubine Shu was born beautiful and charming. If Concubine Chen is a misty rain in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, Concubine Shu is a bright color on the exotic grassland. She is also very capricious and aggressive, and Princess Heyi inherited her beauty as well as her temperament, and she is also willful and domineering.

And the one who looked the softest and most beautiful sitting next to the queen was Concubine Chen Guifei. If it is said that the queen and the other concubines still have the demeanor of nobles in the palace, this one is like an ordinary Jiangnan girl, without the slightest refinement, and sitting here is out of place with the palace, as if the whole area All brought into the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiang Ruan bowed down with a smile, but her heart seemed to froze at that moment. The people in this place are all old acquaintances from the previous life, but she is too humble to see these concubines often. However, Chen Guifei is an exception.

Not only would she not laugh at her or belittle her like other concubines, but she would often call her to the Hall of Dreams to talk. Concubine Chen Guifei has a gentle temperament and is also Ye Li's biological mother. In the last life, Jiang Ruan regarded her as a close friend, a sister, and even a mother. A trusted relative in the cold palace.

However, what this Concubine Chen did behind the scenes made her feel like everything was a joke. She is like a vicious beauty snake, with a deadly trap hidden in her gentleness. She and Ye Li are the same kind of people, completely indifferent, use them without reservation, and then abandon them and kill them.

Concubine Chen Guifei looked at Xia Yan and the others, and suddenly said, "You are Miss Jiang, come forward and let me have a look."

The queen was startled, and glanced at Jiang Ruan thoughtfully. Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Ruan unwillingly, with jealousy in her eyes, Jiang Dan lowered his head and did not dare to lift his eyes. Jiang Susu's face froze, as if she couldn't believe it. Jiang Ruan raised his head slowly, and the moment he raised his head, he put away the smile on his lips, and when he raised his head, there was a slightly indifferent face.

Concubine Chen Guifei looked at her carefully, she didn't seem to notice the unhappiness on her face, she smiled and said: "It really is a beautiful child."

Seeing this scene, the wives around began to discuss in low voices. Dong Ying'er, who was sitting on the side, was a little uneasy. Thinking of what her mother had said before, Concubine Chen Gui wanted to choose a concubine for the Eighth Prince, and couldn't help but sweat for Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan said indifferently: "Thank you, Madam, for your praise, Jiang Ruan is ashamed."

There was nothing warm in her words, not even basic respect, only a faint resistance. This gesture of resistance was heard by Concubine Chen, and she paused lightly. After a while, her smile became more cordial: "I don't know if Mrs. Jiang is married to the young lady?"

Xia Yan's body froze, and an unknown fire suddenly burst out from the bottom of his heart. Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan again! Who is this concubine Chen Guifei, the emperor's most beloved woman in the palace, the daughter of the Jiang family who was the first to inquire was Jiang Ruan, not Jiang Susu. Are these people blind? With Jiang Ruansheng's charming face, one could tell that he was not the owner of Ansheng.

However, even though she was thinking a thousand things in her heart, she didn't show the slightest bit on her face. Still humbly replied: "Returning to your mother, Ruan Niang is only twelve years old this year, and she has never promised anyone."

"Ah, that's good." The smile on Concubine Chen's beautiful face was even more sincere, that white and smooth face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, and her emotions were beyond anyone's guess. She spoke surprisingly: "Such a lovely child, of course, can't be married casually. I see that I like Miss Jiang very much, and I really want to marry her personally."

These words were too explicit, and the ladies around couldn't help showing complex expressions of surprise and understanding. Concubine Xian looked at Jiang Ruan with great interest, Concubine De remained calm, Concubine Shu kept smiling, but Concubine Shu couldn't help but said, "Sister Chen, what are you talking about? It's a marriage, we still have to see it." The young lady likes it herself. Is it possible that sister Chen is also old and loves to do things that these ice talents do?"

Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen have always been at odds. Concubine Shu can't get used to Concubine Chen's appearance of lying low and looking like an outsider. Of course, more importantly, she is jealous that Concubine Chen has such an amazingly talented son like Ye Li. And what crawled out of her belly was a daughter, which meant that no matter how much she was favored, she would never have a son who would be the heir apparent. Although the Fifth Prince also had a high voice, Concubine De was not favored, and was even considered very low-key. Compared to Concubine Shu, Concubine Chen was the most hated. Whenever Concubine Chen Gui said something, Concubine Shu would choke on it.

Concubine Chen Gui was not angry after hearing Concubine Shu's words, she just looked at Jiang Ruan and smiled without saying a word. Her natural facial features are gentle, and she looks at someone with a smile so tenderly, I don't know, it's just that she really loves Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan's eyes were slightly lowered, and he did not look at Chen Guifei. Outsiders looked at her shyly, but no one knew that hatred was surging in her heart at the moment. In just a few quarters of an hour, it was like a master's move. The ladies and ladies present couldn't see anything. Only Jiang Ruan knew what she was thinking. Concubine Chen Guifei's gaze was not gentle, it was clearly the poisonous snake that took a fancy to its prey, and regarded herself as something in its pocket.

Poisonous snakes, she has a way to deal with them.

Concubine Chen Gui "loved" Jiang Ruan so much, Xia Yan felt extremely depressed, and the next answer was a little perfunctory, but in the end she still showed a bit of reluctance. It would be fine as usual, but when Master Huijue said about the lone star of the evil spirit, everyone had doubts about her virtuousness and generosity that she had pretended before. Everyone is even more sure of her behavior now, Shang Shu The madam is actually a sweet-hearted person, otherwise Concubine Chen would ask Jiang Ruan why she doesn't look very happy, even a little displeased.

Chen Guifei asked a few more words, and the queen beckoned Jiang Ruan to retreat. As soon as Jiang Ruan sat down with Xia Yan, Dong Yinger got up and walked to Jiang Ruan to sit down, and said in a low voice: "I was really worried about you just now, are you okay." After speaking, she admired: "Sister Ruan You are really brave, just now I saw you talking with the imperial concubine and empress without a trace of nervousness, if it were me, I would have been too scared to speak."

Jiang Ruan smiled: "It's nothing to be afraid of, I didn't do anything, and I won't be punished."

Dong Ying'er hesitated and said: "But... the imperial concubine seems to like you very much, does she want to point you to His Highness the Eighth Highness?" After a change, she calmed down a little, and said: "The imperial concubine seldom cares about people so much, but today she just asked you to talk for a long time, sister Ruan, don't blame me for being careless, I am afraid that all the ladies present here are as angry as I am. With the same consideration, if that's the case, what should you do?"
