Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 40 Father wants to have a grandson as soon as possible

Murong Jiu knew that Concubine Qi didn't like him.

The reason why he was asked to enter the palace should only be for the sake of the royal family's face. After all, he was Princess Ling.

In her previous life, Concubine Qi did not celebrate her birthday this year because Jun Yuyan was injured and punished for his incompetence.

And from this year onwards, Concubine Qi has been favored year after year. She has lost her former glory, and no one is currying favor with holding a grand birthday party for her.

"Of course I'm going."

She nodded towards Jun Yuyan and said.

Jun Yuyan helped her a lot, and she just accompanied him to the palace to celebrate Concubine Qi's birthday. She should go.

On this day, Jun Yuyan still slept here with her.

It was strange that she should have had a hard time falling asleep with an unfamiliar man sleeping next to her, but in fact, she had another comfortable night's sleep. When she woke up, she felt comfortable all over, and her pregnancy reaction in the morning was also minimal.

Because she was going to the palace today, when she got up, she saw that Jun Yuyan had not left and was reading in the study.

When she saw him, Murong Jiu had the illusion that she was really married and living with this man.

Jun Yuyan raised his head from the book. He was not wearing a mask, and the scars on his face were getting lighter. His expression was gentle, and he smiled at her:
"Are you awake? Chuntao, ask Eunuch Shi to pass on the food."

"Yes, my lord!"

Chuntao went away happily.

For some reason, Jun Yuyan's eyes made Murong Jiu feel a little embarrassed, so he nodded and looked away.

Pearl came over and dressed her up diligently, saying that she was about to enter the palace, but Chuntao was too clumsy to comb her hair into a bun.

She wanted to gain some respect in front of Murong Jiu so that she could follow him into the palace.

She was afraid that the second prince would think she was incapable of doing things, so she had to find a chance to meet him.

Moreover, she felt that Murong Jiu had a very weird personality now, and he had never punished her to kneel in the rain before. It would have been better if she could have found another way out earlier.

Murong Jiu did not reveal her intentions, and planned to take advantage of the situation and bring Pearl into the palace.

She didn't go to Jun Haoze's appointment the day before yesterday, and she ruined Jun Haoze's important event yesterday. It was when this man was so angry that she had to give him a taste of the sweetness to avoid irritating him and causing trouble for her.

Chang Chonghai hasn't come back yet, and he hasn't been in the palace all the time. If Jun Haoze finds out that he has no love for him anymore, based on his understanding of him, he will ruthlessly kill anyone who will hinder him.

You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. It is not yet time to show off.

As long as Jun Haoze feels that he is still useful to him and can listen to his orders in the future, the safety of himself and his children will not be threatened.

"Princess, this Zhu Chai really suits you. It makes your face even more rosy."

Pearl flattered her diligently.

Murong Jiu looked at the bronze mirror and saw the face reflected in it, with the black birthmark occupying all his eyes.

Just like everyone, the first thing they saw when they saw her was this ugly birthmark. After the first glance, they didn't want to look at it a second time. Who would pay attention to what kind of red hairpin she had on her head.

She only looked at whether the bun fit properly and then looked away.

The joy of receiving those silks, satins, and jewelry yesterday was lost because of this face.

Beautiful clothes should match a beautiful woman, and she is still suitable for plain and inconspicuous clothes.

After breakfast, Murong Jiu and Jun Yuyan entered the palace together.

The palace of Concubine Qi was very lively, because she was the most favored, and many concubines who were not favored would fawn over her and look for opportunities to show their faces in front of the emperor.

Speaking of which, the women in the palace were also pitiful. The emperor was sentimental and ruthless, but he was kinder to Concubine Qi.

Most of the other concubines were forgotten as soon as the novelty wore off.The deep palace is like a cold palace. Without the emperor's favor, he can't even wear a new set of clothes, let alone glory and wealth.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace are best at flattering you and flattering you. Seeing that you have no chance to stand up, the little maids will bully you to the point of defeat.

Murong Jiu never thought that the palace was a good place.

"Mother, the prince and the ninth sister are here."

As soon as Murong Jiu and Jun Yuyan walked into Concubine Qi's palace, they heard Murong Man's familiar soft voice.

She is everywhere.

"The Queen Mother is well."

Murong Jiu followed Jun Yuyan to greet Concubine Qi, and then gave her the birthday gift chosen by Jun Yuyan.

Concubine Qi was in a very good mood, with a smile on her delicate face.

Because Jun Yuyan made a great contribution yesterday and caught the remnants of the previous dynasty who wanted to cause trouble, the emperor stayed in her palace last night and praised her for giving birth to a good son.

She is naturally proud of herself.

Everyone in the palace was just a loser. After her son was injured, many people turned to the queen's side. Little did they know that in the emperor's heart, her son was still the one he valued most.

She looked at the other concubines and said, "You all should go back. I will talk to the eldest prince."

Everyone said a few words of flattery and left.

In the end, only Murong Man was left beside Concubine Qi, rubbing her shoulders.

"Yu Yan, sit down quickly. Yesterday, my concubine didn't have time to see you, so you went back home. Please tell my concubine quickly, were you injured yesterday?"

Concubine Qi asked with concern.

Murong Man's eyes flashed, and he agreed: "Yes, I heard that yesterday a remnant of the previous dynasty killed people in the street, and many people died. The prince must have been in danger at that time, right?"

Jun Yuyan said softly: "Back to my mother and concubine, I brought a master with me at the time and was not injured."

"That's good, that's good. I heard from Man'er that those remnants of the previous dynasty still brought dead soldiers with them. Fortunately, you were prepared. Otherwise, the mother-in-law would not have dared to think about it. It's great. You have made a contribution again. Your father is very happy, and your mother and concubine are also proud of you."

Jun Yuyan's expression became even calmer.

In fact, Murong Jiu had discovered a long time ago that there seemed to be no close relationship between Jun Yuyan and Concubine Qi, mother and son.

She heard that when Jun Yuyan was first injured, his disfigurement was so severe that Concubine Qi was so frightened that Concubine Qi screamed. Later, Concubine Qi was looking for prescriptions to have another baby, but she didn't know if this rumor was true.

If this is the case, then it is normal for Jun Yuyan to feel cold.

However, the gift that Jun Yuyan chose for Concubine Qi was obvious at first glance. Maybe he prefers to hide his emotions deep in his heart.

At this time, Concubine Qi suddenly said:

"Yu Yan, you are not young anymore. My mother-in-law plans to marry you a concubine. Do you have one you like?"

Murong Jiu raised his head. Concubine Qi really didn't like him. He said this directly in front of her.

But it doesn't matter to her. She and Jun Yuyan are a fake couple. Whether or not she marries a concubine has nothing to do with her.

Jun Yuyan glanced at her subconsciously, and when he saw her expression was as usual, his brows under his mask frowned slightly.

"No need, I have no intention of marrying a concubine."

Concubine Qi said: "The person you were supposed to marry was Man'er, but you ended up marrying Murong Jiu. My mother-in-law felt that you had been wronged, and she also talked about it with your father yesterday. He agreed with her and wanted to get married as soon as possible." You have a grandson, so you can’t be willful.”
