Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 118 Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the Queen Mother returns to the palace

The prince of the Western Regions and the princess of the Western Regions entered the palace to meet the emperor. On that day, the princess of the Western Regions was given the title of Concubine Qin and entered the Yongle Palace.

This Concubine Qin was full of exotic amorous feelings, and she was indeed very beautiful. When I heard that the emperor rested in Yongle Palace for several nights in a row, Concubine Qin was favored by her all the time.

But Murong Jiu, who checked the emperor's pulse, knew very well that the emperor was just doing this to show the envoys from the Western Regions.

Although the emperor does have a problem with beauty, ever since Hui Guiren overused the secret incense, the emperor's kidney energy has been insufficient, and he is no longer as powerful as before.

Maybe he and Concubine Qin were just chatting under the quilt.

It was impossible for Concubine Qin to publicize the emperor's incompetence. After all, she had received many rewards and had a place in the palace.

The most important thing is that the princess of the Western Regions came to get married in order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries. It was enough for her to be "favored" in the palace.

However, the other concubines did not want Concubine Qin to be favored by herself. They did not know that the emperor was in severe physical condition and was still sparing no effort in various palace fights.

Only Jing'an Palace, far away from Leng Palace, was peaceful at this time.

Concubine Jing, who has been lingering on the sickbed for many years and has almost no trace of this person, is lying in the emperor's arms, flipping through a book and turning a string of Buddhist beads in her other hand.

Her face was rosy, and there was something sick about her.

Her facial features are beautiful and delicate, not as flamboyantly beautiful as Concubine Qi, nor as dignified and majestic as the Queen. She has a kind of tranquility that is not found in other concubines, and it seems to calm people's hearts.

The emperor would come here from the tunnel to take a rest every afternoon.

In the emperor's opinion, this is a small piece of world that belongs to him and Jingbin, and it is also his safe haven.

Here, he doesn't have to think about the court, the harem, and no intrigues.

He played with a strand of Jingbin's hair and said with some emotion: "You and Huan'er have suffered so much these years."

Huan'er was his and his concubine's son, the third prince Jun Jinghuan.

"With His Majesty's favor, what's the point of saying anything bitter? Your Majesty, please don't say this again, I don't want to hear it."

Jing Bin said softly and touched the emperor's mouth with her index finger.

She said: "Back then, I was just a little commoner. Only after being favored by His Majesty could I enter the palace as a maid and accompany His Majesty. If it weren't for Huan'er, I couldn't hide it anymore. I would still be willing to stay with Your Majesty day and night. Serving His Majesty at your side."

The emperor just liked the way she looked at him with her heart and eyes full.

The other concubines all have backing and various forces, but only Concubine Jing, who is devoted to him wholeheartedly, without any distracting thoughts.

The emperor felt this in his heart, held Concubine Jing's hand in his, and said to her:

"I know your thoughts, and so does Huan'er. He never complains to me. The more this happens, the more I feel guilty. The boss and the second brother are now fighting, and I will interfere with it and let Huan'er reap the benefits. profit."

A flash of light flashed in Jingbin's calm eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She said worriedly:

"Your Majesty, Huan'er, like my concubine, doesn't care about the position. Your emperor's grace is so great that we, mother and son, are satisfied and never dare to think about anything. I am also afraid that your thoughts will be discovered..."

"Don't be afraid. I'm in serious physical condition this year, so I have to make plans for you and my son early. You don't have to worry, I won't let anyone pay attention to you and your son."

The emperor's words were like a reassurance for Concubine Jing.

As soon as the emperor left, Concubine Jing dropped the Buddhist beads in her hand. Her eyes were dark and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

In the afternoon of that day, the emperor had a sudden idea to teach and test the knowledge of several of his sons.

Unexpectedly, the third prince didn't know what to ask. The emperor was so angry that he threw the tea cup and ordered him to study at Yingtian Academy. When he had learned enough, he would return to the capital.

It's like a signal.

The third prince, who was not favored to begin with, has now become even more disgusted by the emperor.It is almost impossible to have another chance to turn around. After all, he has no chance of becoming the crown prince.

Before leaving, the second prince personally gave the third prince a ride in order to show his brotherly bearing.

Murong Jiu finally found an opportunity to talk to Jun Yuyan about the third prince in a vague way.

It was hard for her to tell that there was a tunnel connecting Jingbin's Jing'an Palace and the Emperor's Yangxin Palace. Jun Yuyan had many informants in the palace, and even his people didn't notice it. How could she know?

She was afraid that Jun Yuyan would treat her like a monster because of her strange power.

Although she subconsciously felt that Jun Yuyan would not look at her like this.

However, now she really has never thought about the fact that Tongjun Yuyan said that she was reborn. She didn't dare to let anyone know. Firstly, others might not believe her if she told her, and secondly, she was afraid of leaking the secret. Knock her back.

So she told Jun Yuyan to send someone to Yingtian Academy to observe secretly to see who the teacher assigned by the emperor was for the third prince.

Jun Yuyan knew she had a secret, but he tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions. As she said, he sent a few of his confidants to Yingtian Academy.

Yingtian Academy is located in Yuzhou, not far or near the capital. Even if the emperor wants to summon the third prince to the capital with secrets, it will be an easy thing.

This matter will not be mentioned for the time being.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and a palace banquet was held in the palace. Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu naturally had to attend.

The third prince was kicked out of the capital before the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, which cemented his reputation as being unpopular.

This time entering the palace required dressing up and wearing heavy princess clothes, but Jun Yuyan didn't want her to suffer, so he asked her to wear a light skirt without losing her nobility.

When greeting the queen, the queen smiled with unknown meaning: "Prince Ling really feels sorry for the princess, even abandoning the ancestral rules."

"Everything happens for a reason, so you don't have to stick to the rules."

At this time, the Queen Mother walked into the palace with the support of her nanny.

The princes and princesses present all saluted and greeted the Queen Mother.

The queen quickly put on a smile: "Mother, you have finally returned to the palace. It's great. Your Majesty will be very happy if he knows."

The Queen Mother devoted herself to worshiping Buddha in the royal temple and rarely returned to the palace.

Murong Jiu felt happy when she heard the Queen Mother's voice. In her previous life, the Queen Mother was the only person in this huge palace who had any kindness towards her.

However, the Queen Mother died earlier than she did.

The Queen Mother was not the biological mother of the Emperor. When the former Emperor passed away, the Queen Mother had been in the palace for a few years.

Speaking of which, the Queen Mother is not a few years older than the current Queen, and even looks younger.

It's just that the Queen Mother, wearing ancient Buddha green lanterns, is dressed plainly and old-fashioned, and is serious in speech and expression. She looks very serious, which adds a bit of majesty.

With a smile on her face, the Queen sat down at the top of the table facing the Queen Mother.

Although the Queen Mother rarely returns to the palace, she is a noble person who cannot be surpassed by anyone in the harem.

"Princess Ling, get up and show the Ai family."

As soon as the Queen Mother sat down, she waved to Murong Jiu.

Murong Jiu was flattered. He didn't expect that she and the Queen Mother had never interacted before, and the Queen Mother in this life was also friendly to her.
