Chapter 14: Wailing and Weeping
go out for a while. Besides, we're almost out of food at home, so I need to go outside and buy some more delicious food to replenish your body."To avoid raising Chun Tao's suspicion, Qing Xuan picked...Now everyone in the palace believes Nán Gōng Yè is a castaway, they don't even look at him. Even if she accuses Chūn Táo in front of Jiāng Fēi, without Chūn Táo, Xià Táo and Qiū Táo continue to act arrogantly. 。Now she needs to focus most of her energy on curing Nan Gong Ye's illness and doesn't have the time or energy to manage the affairs of the entire palace. 。
Qingxuan responded to Chun Tao, "Now you just need to follow this princess's orders, and this princess won't make things difficult for you in front of Jiang Fei."
Chun Tao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
In the front hall, Jiang Fei was already seated in the main seat drinking tea.
"Son has seen Mother Empress." 。"As Qingxuan knelt before Jiang Fei to pay her respects, Jiang Fei looked her up and down." 。
Qingsuan did not miss the fleeting surprise in Jiangfei's eyes.
"Xuan'er, wake up quickly.
"Since marrying into the Wangfu these past few days, do you still feel like you're adjusting" Qingxuan pursed her lips, neither sad nor angry. "Mother once said, 'Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.' Now that I have married the King, I am his wife." 。Regardless of how the King's health is, I must do what a wife should. 。At this time, Ginger Fei's eyes were fixed on her face, trying to discern if she was speaking. 。After a long while, Jiang Fei saw the grief and forbearance in her eyes. She then shifted her gaze away. 。It seems that Marquis Ji's household has raised a good daughter. Please sit down, don't stand and speak. 。“Qingxuan furrowed her brow and nodded: “Xie mufei” 。As soon as Qingxuan sat down, Jiangfei ordered her maid to hand her a beautifully lacquered box. 。"This contains my years of collected millennium ginseng, it can be used to save Ye'er's life at a critical moment." 。"The ginger concubine said this, looking out the window and sighing: "Although Ye'er is not my biological son, I have always treated him as my own. If that time comes, I also want to send him off on his final journey." 。It has to be said, in the harem there are two capable women, their acting skills are not bad. 。In the blink of an eye, tears welled up in Jiang Fei's eyes. If she hadn't unconsciously looked to the upper right when she spoke, I would have believed her nonsense. 。
Anyone can act!
Qingxuan began to recall the scene of her pet hamster dying.
She hung her head, tears falling silently. 。The ginger concubine's voice sounded beside her ear, ostensibly comforting her: "Silly child, my son hasn't reached that point yet" 。Before, there was a fortune teller who said that if my son got married during this period, his life could be extended. 。Now it seems the celestial master was right. 。To put it plainly, the reason the Qiandu Houfu was forced to give their daughter to Nan Gong Ye was for a marriage of convenience. 。Qingxuan didn't ignore the subtext in Jiangfei's words. Jiangfei hadn't mentioned her return visit in three days today, saying these words was just to inquire about Nangong Ye's current situation. 。
Qing Xuan, hearing this, cried even harder.
She red-eyed looked up at the Imperial Concubine Jiang: "Mother concubine, when I married into the Wangfu on the day before yesterday, His Highness's condition was already very bad. These past two days have been even worse, with red eyes and a gaze like that of a hell demon staring at me
I know that marrying the lord is a done deal. Even in the worst-case scenario, I can only endure it and serve him carefully. 。The concubine ginger paused her tea drinking: “Ye'er still has the strength to glare at you...” 。It seems like the Celestial Master was right, Ye'er's life has been extended. 。However, when the ginger concubine said this, there was no joy in her eyes. 。
This stepmother is truly ruthless.
Qing Xuan pretended not to see Jiang Fei's expression at this moment, and continued to weep with her eyes downcast.
Chun Tao stood aside, seeing that she had no intention of reporting her. She even stepped forward to comfort her: "Your Highness, don't be sad. The King has a good omen from the celestial master, and he won't be in any danger for now.
Qingxuan seized Chun Tao's hand, becoming even more distressed, as if she wanted to cry out all the great injustices in the world. 。
At first, her hamster died a really horrible death! It got run over by the wheel and was left as a puddle of blood, its body couldn't even be retrieved.
It's all her fault for not watching the hamster properly in the first place, letting it run out of its cage! Thinking back to this, she couldn't help but mutter: "Even if there were celestial masters giving auspicious predictions, he… wouldn't live long anyway. I married into this family, just to wait and die alongside the Lord…"Qingxuan's emotions shifted from her earlier restraint to utter despair now. 。
Seeing this, Jiang Fei frowned: "Your Highness is tired, quickly help Your Highness rest.
"Mother, your son is not tired." 。“I still want to chat with my mother more. I don’t want to go back to that courtyard…”
However, before she could finish her words, the old nanny beside Ginger Concubine and Chun Tao together pulled her back to the courtyard where Nangong Ye lived. 。are either very wealthy or very noble. 。The man following them was merely a guard by Nangong Hua's side. Even if he were sold, he wouldn't be worth a thousand taels, so naturally, he couldn't afford t...
