Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

"Sister Concubine Qi, why haven't you had a good rest? Why do you look so bad? Look at Concubine Jing, your complexion is so good today, it makes the flowers lose their color."

The troupe is about to start and everyone has arrived.

Xu Cairen leaned close to Concubine Jing and said softly.

Everyone looked at Concubine Qi. She did not look well, her eyes were blue, as if she had not slept well all night, and even rouge and gouache could not hide her haggard look.

Looking at Concubine Jing again, although she is not as gorgeous as Concubine Qi, she seems to be in a good mood and has a faint smile on her face. Everything she wears on her body and hair is exquisite.

You know, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always looked at what people are doing. In the past, when Concubine Qi was favored, good things were naturally sent there first. Even the queen at that time was not as popular as she was. But now, who doesn't know that the emperor's favorite woman is Concubine Jing?

The things in the harem are all brought to Concubine Jing first, and the rest belongs to others.

As the saying goes, wealth nourishes people, doesn’t Concubine Jing look good?

What's more, no one present knew that this troupe was invited into the palace by Concubine Qi. They had discussed it with the Emperor in advance, but before they even watched this scene, Concubine Jing snatched the first scene. She even entertained the harem at a banquet. It's strange that Concubine Qi looked so good.

Xu Cairen was originally the beauty that the third prince had found from among the people, so he wanted to curry favor with Concubine Jing. She looked like a bitch, and although she offended Concubine Qi, she managed to please Concubine Jing. From then on, Concubine Jing became the queen. , she might be able to advance to a higher position.

Concubine Qi was pulled and stepped on, her face darkened, she snorted coldly, but did not speak.

Only then did Concubine Jing speak slowly: "Sister Concubine Qi, you should have a good rest and take good care of yourself. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can go back and rest."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became as silent as cicadas, not daring to speak out.

Concubine Jing has always been gentle with others and has never been embarrassed by others. Unexpectedly, not long after the Queen's death, she had already mastered the yin and yang of Concubine Qi.

But then I thought about it, Concubine Jing's attack was not sudden. The fourth prince was sentenced to death, and now only three adult princes, the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince were left.

Among them, the second prince is disabled and has a biological mother who is a concubine, so it is impossible to inherit the throne. There is only one eldest prince, Prince Ling, who can compete with the third prince.

And Prince Ling’s biological mother was Concubine Qi.

In the past, Concubine Qi was the noble concubine Qi, and she could dominate Concubine Jing. Now that they are both concubines, it is obvious that Concubine Jing is the woman that the emperor loves more, and the third prince is also more favored by the emperor.

It is reasonable for Concubine Jing to suppress Concubine Qi, otherwise she would not have stolen Concubine Qi's troupe.

Concubine Qi was so angry that she stood up directly.

She looked bad because she wanted Jun Yuyan to send her two children to stay in the palace, but Jun Yuyan refused without hesitation. She was so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night, not because of Concubine Jing!

But now, Concubine Jing really annoyed her.

"Empress...started to sing."

The palace maid Huaping held Concubine Qi's hand and whispered.

At this time, there were babbling sounds on the field, which immediately attracted Concubine Qi's attention.

She loved going to the theater, and the palace originally had a lot of actors. When the emperor doted on her, what did he want? Later, when she fell out of favor, the emperor found an excuse to send those actors out of the palace at will.

The emperor is ruthless, nothing more than that.

Concubine Qi had not cared about the emperor for a long time. After thinking about it, she didn't need to care about a country woman like Concubine Jing, which disturbed her mood of watching the theater, so she sat down.

It was pitiful to say that she had to get the emperor's permission even if she wanted to go to the theater. She didn't think the palace was scary before, but now she has deeply discovered the pity of the women in the palace. If she didn't marry into the royal family, she would just be the matriarch of the family. Isn't it simple to just watch a show?

Ordinary people would go to the streets to watch plays every time there was a temple fair, but she was really not as good as ordinary people.

After watching the show, Concubine Qi still found it difficult to calm down. But to be fair, these actors from the south are very talented, and many of the concubines in the room cried when they sang "Mother Yang Sends Off Her Son".

Just as Concubine Qi was about to leave the stage early, she suddenly noticed that Concubine Jing was looking at an elegant middle-aged man from a distance at the back right of the stage!

Something is wrong!

In a flash of lightning, Concubine Qi somehow thought of Concubine Jing's origin.

Concubine Jing entered the palace as a maid, and she was not brought into the palace by the emperor. She happened to be among the batch of maids who entered the palace that year, so she did not attract the attention of others.

Concubine Jing later went to the emperor's side as a maid. When she became pregnant, the emperor pretended to be drunk and messed around. He casually gave Concubine Jing a small position and assigned her to a very remote palace. The emperor did not go there a few more times.

Everyone thought that Concubine Jing was not favored, and Concubine Qi had never put her in her eyes.

Back then, Concubine Qi even laughed at Concubine Jing because she had a southern accent.

At this moment, Concubine Qi suddenly remembered that Concubine Jing was from Jiangnan, and this troupe was also from Jiangnan.

Just by looking at Concubine Jing's expression of being too surprised to cover up, one knew that Concubine Jing and this middle-aged class leader must be old acquaintances.

Concubine Qi sat back again and observed Concubine Jing quietly, but Concubine Jing was already looking at the stage and no longer looking at the elegant class leader.

Until all the plays were finished, Concubine Jing never took her eyes off the stage.

However, the class leader kept standing there, looking over with a vague look.

Back in her palace, Concubine Qi was smiling and even hummed a ditty.

"Huaping, if you ask someone to go to Prince Ling's Mansion again and ask them to send Zhijin Zhiyu to the palace, tell them that I have a secret about Concubine Jing that I want to tell them."

Huaping's eyes moved slightly, then he responded with a smile.

"Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law has very keen observation skills. It was only the first scene today and she discovered that there is a story between Concubine Jing and Leader Mei."

When the news came back to Prince Ling's Mansion, Jun Yuyan refused directly.

Murong Jiu couldn't help but smile and said.

It turned out that this opera troupe was invited to the capital by Jun Yuyan earlier. Because Concubine Qi liked opera, he specifically asked Huaping to talk to her in front of her. As expected, Concubine Qi invited them to the palace.

Even if Concubine Jing doesn't steal Concubine Qi's limelight, she will meet Master Mei sooner or later when she starts singing in the palace.

Concubine Jing began to target Concubine Qi, deliberately suppressing her and taking away the troupe, which made things go more smoothly.

Jun Yuyan said: "Don't worry about her, there are some things that you can't tell her in advance."

"I'm just afraid that she will do something bad and scare the snake away."

"Don't worry, Huaping will watch her carefully and won't let her do anything bad. As for Zhijin Zhiyu, let her meet her in her dream."

Jun Yuyan did not allow his two children to enter the palace, not only because the palace was in danger, but also because he was not happy with Concubine Qi.

He could ignore the grievances he had suffered in the past, but he could not tolerate Ajiu suffering the slightest grievance from his mother and concubine.

When will Concubine Qi learn to respect Ah Jiu, and when will he consider letting his children see her.
