The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

"What is it really like?" Jiang Ruan asked back: "No." Her tone was not as gentle as usual, with a slight chill, Dong Yinger's heart skipped a beat. It was only when Jiang Ruan was angry and unwilling to marry the Eighth Prince that he said so, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry too much, I guessed it randomly. Maybe the imperial concubine just simply likes you, and you are still so young at this age , even if it is true, there is no rush."

This comfort was too feeble, and Dong Ying'er herself felt guilty. It's just that Jiang Ruan didn't show any special emotions from the beginning to the end, as if watching other people's affairs with cold eyes.

After a while, seeing that the time was almost up, the queen got up and asked all the ladies and ladies to go to the main hall to start the palace banquet.

In the main hall, the emperor and his family had already taken their seats. Because the flood had just passed, the treasury became a little nervous due to disaster relief. The banquet was simple and not extravagant, which was quite different from the gorgeous ostentation in the past. Even the dishes and pastries at the banquet are very simple.

The female family members sat down on the female family member's table, the emperor and the empress sat on the high seat, and sitting next to him was the current queen mother, the queen mother Yide.

Empress Dowager Yide is now in her sixtieth year, her temples are already spotted and gray. Wearing a brocade robe with turquoise gold inlaid with jade and auspicious cloud patterns. From the face of Empress Dowager Yide now, one can vaguely see her original demeanor. Back then, Empress Dowager Yide was known as the number one beauty in the Great Jin Dynasty. Her facial features are slightly heroic. When she was young, she had two sons and a daughter with the first emperor. When the eight kings seized the throne, she put down the rebels and kept the emperor on the throne all the way. She sacrificed her eldest son and even made her daughter Yuan Rong The princess made peace with other countries, and borrowed troops from the Great Brocade to support the new emperor's ascension to the throne. It can be said that without Empress Dowager Yide, there would be no current Dajin Dynasty and no emperor. Empress Dowager Yide is such a vigorous and resolute person, even a little ruthless.

She looked at the people below indifferently, the ruby ​​armor on her fingers exuded a compelling luster. When she saw a person in the female family's banquet, Empress Dowager Yide was shocked suddenly, sat up straight involuntarily, and looked at that person.

It was a young girl who looked immature, because she couldn't see her face clearly when she was sitting in the lower seat, only the top of her jet-black hair could be seen. She is combing a simple single-snail bun with a magnificently colored rose on it. The peach pink dress is simple and enthusiastic, and it looks particularly fresh and pretty among the well-dressed young ladies.

The distance was too far, but the girl seemed to suddenly feel Empress Dowager Yide's gaze, and suddenly raised her head. When he saw the eyes of Queen Mother Qing Yide, he did not panic. After being slightly surprised, she returned a smile to Empress Yide, that smile was clean and clear, and there was a kind of calmness and understanding that didn't match her age.

It coincided with another person in Empress Dowager Yide's memory.

It was with great difficulty that she resisted the urge to go down and grab the young girl. After the young girl finished laughing, she started talking to the girls around her, as if she didn't notice this at all. Empress Dowager Yide sat upright in her seat, slightly absent-minded.

While Jiang Ruan and Dong Yinger were talking, the corners of their lips twitched involuntarily. From the corner of their eyes, they saw Empress Dowager Yide sitting motionless in her seat, and she could still feel her eyes following him.

Jiang Ruan picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip, seeing that she had achieved her original goal. You must know that for this simple goal and a simple movement, she also practiced hundreds of times in front of the mirror overnight.

Thinking about it, the men's banquet had already awarded the reward, seeing Jiang Xinzhi's eyes smiling, it should be a very generous reward. Jiang Quan's complexion was not very good. The male and female relatives sat separately, and Gu Yi hadn't seen Jiang Ruan for a long time since the last time. Seeing Jiang Ruan sitting in the female family's seat at this moment, the longer the days, the more moving and moving, looking at her with extremely warm eyes.

There was a gentle smile on Ye Li's lips, as if it was no different from the past. But his left hand rubbed unconsciously, which he often did when he was upset. Obviously, even though he tried his best to appear calm about the Prime Minister's Mansion, he still couldn't hide his depression.

Xiao Shao was sitting next to Guan Lianghan, today he was wearing a black brocade dress with flowers and brocade, with delicate bat patterns embroidered on the collar of his clothes, he looked colder and alienated, his appearance was impeccably handsome, and many daughters in the maiden banquet watched him secretly.

Not long after, another beautiful girl came from outside the arena. This girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a feather-blue tufted brocade dress, a silver-red floor-length skirt, and ten brocade tulle. It was already a very gorgeous attire, but this kind of attire did not look mixed on her body, but had a kind of gorgeous beauty on the contrary. Her facial features were profound, with a kind of exotic style, she stepped forward and said with a smile: "Father."

"Heyi, why are you here now?" the emperor blamed, but his tone was very intimate. Princess Heyi won the favor of the emperor.

"Your servant is dazzled in choosing clothes, you can't embarrass your father." Princess Heyi winked at the emperor. The emperor laughed loudly, she glanced at the men's table, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Xiao Shao, but Luo Hua was ruthless, Xiao Shao never looked at her, and a trace of disappointment flashed in Princess He Yi's eyes.

Dong Ying'er touched Jiang Ruan's arm: "Sister Ruan, you said that Princess Heyi likes Prince Xiao, is it true?" Dong Ying'er has always loved hearing these gossips. Now that there are ready-made interesting things, naturally they will not let them go.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, it was no secret that Princess He Yi was obsessed with Xiao Shao in his previous life, it was almost known to everyone in Da Jin Dynasty. Princess Heyi also vowed not to marry Xiao Shao for the rest of her life, and even wanted Concubine Shu to persuade the emperor to marry him, but the emperor actually chose Xiao Shao among his beloved Princess Heyi and Xiao Shao, and asked Xiao Shao first . Xiao Shao was not close to women, so he refused. After hearing the news of Xiao Shao's refusal, Princess Yi and Princess Yi searched for life and death every day, and even went to Prince Jinying's mansion to find an explanation, but the other party was stubborn and remained unmoved. At the end of the last life, Princess He Yi never had any results with Xiao Shao.

Jiang Ruan's eyes were downcast, Princess He Yi's experience was embarrassing, but that did not include her. Just because Princess Heyi was in the palace in her last life, she often tripped her up. Princess Heyi is narrow-minded and jealous by nature. When Jiang Ruan entered the palace, she was the most beautiful among the group of beautiful girls. She was charming and unparalleled, but Princess Heyi was gorgeous, and she didn't want anyone to steal her limelight. They often find some people to make trouble for her. There was even a time when she slandered the maidservants in her courtyard for stealing and killed all the second-class maids in her courtyard. That scene had appeared countless times in Jiang Ruan's dreams, and it often woke her up from nightmares.

None of the old friends in the palace is kind to others.

But at this moment, the Queen Mother suddenly said indifferently: "Vice General Jiang, you said today that tomorrow is your sister's birthday?"

The Empress Dowager Yide did not shy away from the conversations with the male relatives before. She has a very good relationship with the emperor, and there is no need to be on guard. Bringing it up now is thought-provoking.
