Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Murong Jiu entered the palace only in the afternoon.

First of all, it was already known that her relationship with Concubine Qi, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not harmonious, so there was no need to do these face-saving tricks.

Secondly, she has always been prone to headaches recently. The master said that she might be recovering her memory soon. The decoction given to her can help her sleep, and she didn't get up until about three o'clock in the morning.

After sleeping for a long time, I feel bad.

She played with Zhijin Zhiyu for more than half an hour before she regained her energy. Then she dressed up and went out in fancy clothes.

The birthday banquet for the concubines in the harem was attended only by women, so Jun Yuyan accompanied her into the palace, congratulated Concubine Qi alone, and then went to the emperor's side.

According to the emperor's recent cold treatment of Concubine Qi, I am afraid that she will not show up at the banquet today.

Everyone who came here could see that Concubine Qi's birthday banquet was very "simple" today. Although the emperor had spoken a few days ago, asking everyone to follow Concubine Jing's example of being thrifty and virtuous, but in reality it was all superficial. No matter what happened, I didn't expect that the birthday banquet of the former noble concubine and now Concubine Qi would be so shabby.

How Concubine Qi is treated in the harem is closely related to the emperor's attitude.

It was said that the emperor wanted to make the third prince his heir, and it seemed that was indeed the case.

All the married women had their own little Jiujiu in their hearts. Although they congratulated Concubine Qi eagerly, they were already thinking about how to go back and talk to their masters.

As soon as Concubine Jing arrived, all the wives gathered around her and asked her for help, which was called enthusiasm.

Moreover, compared with Concubine Qi's appearance, which looked like she had not slept well at first sight, Concubine Jing seemed to be well nourished and her face was rosy. Although her appearance was not as gorgeous and delicate as Concubine Qi's, as the saying goes, beauty nourishes people and pampering nourishes her. As a person, Concubine Jing gives people a sense of grace and luxury.

These women poured out nice compliments as if they were free, for fear that Concubine Jing would not remember them.

Concubine Qi saw all this with cold eyes, especially those women who secretly stepped on the ground and promoted them. She would make sure to look good to them one day.

Murong Jiu watched quietly, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at Concubine Qi or at these important wives of the imperial court.

It didn't take long to wait. Before the banquet ended, Concubine Jing's "good fortune" that she had enjoyed for so many years would soon be over.

However, Murong Jiu wanted to be quiet for a while, but some people did not agree with her wishes.

"Sister Princess Ling, why are you sitting here alone? Are you sick? Why do you look sick?"

The person who spoke was Yun Weiwei, the second prince's concubine.

Li Yuhan, the third princess who was lagging behind, also came over and said with a smile: "What Princess Xiu said, Princess Ling's sister is obviously rosy and radiant, how come she looks sick in Princess Xiu's mouth?"

Murong Jiu smiled but said nothing.

After hearing what Li Yuhan said, Yun Weiwei was not annoyed at all. She sat down on the seat next to Murong Jiu and said with a smile:

"Maybe it's my sister who reminds me of the concubine in our family. She had a hard time getting pregnant. She was as thin as a monkey, with a big belly and a sickly look on her face. She and Princess Ling used to be in the same family. Sisters, it’s a pity..."

At this point, she suddenly covered her mouth: "Look at my careless mouth. The Hou Mansion was so bad to Princess Ling back then. How can our concubine be a sister to Princess Ling?"

Murong Jiu didn't know what her purpose was. If she just wanted to show her superiority, there was no need for it. Now in people's eyes, the second prince is not only a cripple, but also the son of a sinner. There are very few people who support him. Who cares about the grudge between Yun Weiwei and Murong Man.

Of course, what Murong Man is pregnant with is a bastard. The second prince is infertile. This child cannot be aborted. Now the second prince has to be swallowed even if his teeth break it. He has to admit it even if he doesn’t recognize it. Raising a bastard is always It's better than letting people know that he can't have children.

It is impossible for Yun Weiwei to be pregnant. She said this to pave the way for Murong Man's poor health. When the child is born, the second prince should deal with her. When outsiders hear the news of Murong Man's death, they will not You will be surprised that Yun Weiwei can also keep that bastard under her knees.

Given the second prince's character, he might not be raising Murong Mansheng's bastard in the future, but a baby of about the same size from a clan with which he is related.

But these have nothing to do with Murong Jiu.

Everyone who has anything to do with the second prince has fallen into the mud, and there will be more bad luck waiting for them in the future.

No matter how "unlucky" they are, they will reap the consequences.

The third prince's concubine, Li Yuhan, smiled and showed her kindness to Murong Jiu, and her words were words of encouragement to Yun Weiwei.

Murong Jiu didn't say anything, as if he couldn't hear Li Yuhan's good intentions.

It's not that she is arrogant, but not long ago, Jun Yuyan investigated the Rui Princess Li Yuhan clearly.

Although the other party is the daughter of an upright official, and her appearance is not outstanding, she is known as a talented woman, and her mother's family is also a scholarly family. She is the concubine carefully selected by the emperor for the third prince. In the eyes of the emperor, she will be the mother of the world in the future. It belongs to the queen, so naturally she can't let her relatives be too strong.

The emperor is indeed very concerned about the third prince, and everything is for the sake of the third prince.

However, although Li Yuhan has a good reputation and is generous in behavior, she is actually a very scheming and vicious woman.

She looked like her mother and was very ordinary in appearance. It was precisely because of this that her father had two beautiful concubines and later gave birth to two concubines, both of whom were prettier than her.

But of the two concubines, one was dragged into an alley by some homeless people when they were discussing marriage, and the other had a fire in the yard late at night, destroying her appearance.

The investigation found that it was all Li Yuhan's fault.

She was very jealous and could not tolerate her concubines being better than her. She even hated the fact that the two concubines were so beautiful that they overshadowed her.

Especially the concubine who was defiled during the marriage proposal. The person she was proposing to marry was a man she also liked. However, the man was from an ordinary background and her mother would not let her marry him. However, the man liked her concubine and invited her. A matchmaker comes to arrange a marriage.

She couldn't get it, so she didn't want her concubine to get it either.

So, she destroyed her concubine.

The poor concubine lost her reputation and almost hanged from the beam. She was discovered in time and saved, but she was sent to a nunnery far away by her family. She could only stay with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng for the rest of her life. .

Fortunately, the man who liked her did not dislike her because of this, and went to the nunnery without telling the two families to carry water and chop wood for her. But even so, this kind of thing is a lifetime for a woman. Hurt, it was difficult for her to let go of her heart and be with that man without any scruples.

Who could have imagined it?

The third prince's concubine, who seems generous, kind, low-key and gentle, is such a jealous and vicious woman in private?
