The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Chapter 148 The Returned Bracelet

Seeing Lu Lingxi looking at Concubine Shang worriedly, Queen Gu sneered in her heart, you still have time to care about others.

Then he said, "Alas! I remember that there were two concubines in Yu'er's house? Didn't Su come today? Speaking of Su, I have seen her several times. She is a gentle and lovely girl.

"Alas! I remember that she entered the Prince's Mansion on the same day as Lingxi, right? It was fate. Alas! To be honest, Yu'er is really lucky! The people in this mansion are young and lively, calm and capable, gentle and considerate, knowledgeable, rich, plump, slender, and all kinds of beauties. They all get along so well, she really enjoys the best of both worlds! Hahaha!"

The words pointed out that Nan Wangyu was fickle and valued his childhood sweetheart, Concubine Su, the most. He asked her to enter the mansion on the same day as Lu Lingxi to slap her in the face. Lu Lingxi was in the prince's mansion, dealing with concubines every day, and her life was not easy. After saying this, he laughed loudly and exaggeratedly.

Lu Lingxi was speechless. He really didn't understand what was the point of speaking in such a sarcastic way. These words would only be uncomfortable for those who cared about them. For those who didn't care, like Sister Shangjia, just pretend not to hear them. If you really don't understand, what's the point of agreeing with them? It won't hurt anyway.

Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi suddenly had an idea. The others pretended not to hear and just smiled innocently and said, "Since this is the first time we meet, did the Queen Mother prepare a gift for Concubine Shang?"

Queen Gu was stunned by the question. She left the palace today to celebrate the full moon of her precious grandson. She only prepared gifts for her grandson, so why would she think of preparing gifts for others? But now that it was said, the Crown Princess's concubine was not a lowly concubine, so she should give her a gift. Otherwise, so many people would look at her and think she was stingy.

After thinking for a while, Queen Gu straightened her sleeves and planned to take off the jade bracelet on her left hand. As she took it off, she said, "Shang, when I saw you today, I felt very attracted to you. So I will give you my favorite jade bracelet. Do you like it?"

After saying this, he took off the bracelet and handed it to Concubine Shang.

Concubine Shang was about to take it, but Lu Lingxi took it first and looked at it carefully, muttering, "Hey! Why does this bracelet look so familiar?"

Queen Gu and Concubine Shang were surprised by Lu Lingxi's action of snatching the bracelet, and they didn't react to stop her. She continued, "Oh! I remember, isn't this the bracelet that my mother gave to Sister Gu from the Prime Minister's Mansion at the Mid-Autumn Festival last year? She planned to let Sister Gu be your..."

Before she could finish her words, Lu Lingxi seemed to suddenly come to her senses. Now that the Princess of Qi had been replaced and Sister Gu had chosen her own brother, she could no longer mention the fact that Queen Gu wanted Gu Yan'er to be the Princess of Qi.

Then, as if throwing away a hot potato, he stuffed the fine imperial green jade bracelet back into Queen Gu's hand, muttering, "It's not a big deal to be a daughter-in-law."

Queen Gu's face was so dark that ink was about to drip out. Not long after giving the bracelet to Gu Yan'er, she fell seriously ill and the arranged marriage was cancelled. After that, Gu Ying'er was promoted to Princess Qi, and she said, "This bracelet is what my sister doesn't want, so I don't want it either." Now even the concubines of the Prince's Mansion dare to dislike this bracelet of mine. These young people nowadays really don't know the rules. When I was a daughter-in-law, I never dared to disobey the Queen Mother like this.

Now that the bracelet has returned to her hands, it would be inappropriate for Queen Gu to give it away, let alone wear it back on her hand.

Fortunately, Nanny Li was sensible and clever. She quickly took the bracelet, looked at it in the sun, and said, "Ah, how come I see a crack on this jade bracelet? Maybe it was because you accidentally tripped in the Imperial Garden last time and the bracelet hit the rockery and broke. Since it is broken, it is not good to give it to others. I will keep it for you."

Queen Gu knew that Nanny Li was trying to save face, so she said, "Alas! Look at my memory. As I get older, I tend to forget things. I forgot something that happened less than a month ago. Luckily, Lingxi interrupted me just now, otherwise I would have made a big fool of myself. Hahaha!"

Lu Lingxi didn't know what to say, so she just smiled foolishly, "Hehe!" She played the role of an innocent little girl to the fullest.

Queen Gu laughed to herself twice, then casually pulled out a hairpin from her head and handed it to Concubine Shang, saying, "This hairpin was given to me by the Queen Mother. I wear it every day and I don't want to take it off. If it weren't for you being so well-behaved, I wouldn't have been willing to give it to you."

This time, Concubine Shang accepted it smoothly, knelt down and thanked her, saying, "Daughter-in-law Shang, thank you for the reward from your mother."

I thought to myself, "The Crown Princess looks like she is ignorant of worldly affairs. Even the Empress, who has been in the palace for more than 20 years, is not her match. How could I have the nerve to speak up for her before?"

Queen Gu had suffered several losses from Lu Lingxi, and her originally good mood today was also ruined. She didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore. After hearing Concubine Shang thanked her for the gift, she said, "Okay, get up quickly. You young people are bound to be restrained here with an old lady like me, so go and have fun by yourselves. I'm a little tired, so I'll go to the backyard to rest for a while, so that I can be refreshed for the banquet later."

After Concubine Shang stood up, Lu Lingxi led her to pay her respects to Queen Gu again and said, "Goodbye, mother. The daughters-in-law are leaving." Then they went to the garden together.

Queen Gu took Nanny Li to the backyard and confirmed that Lu Lingxi and Concubine Shang were not visible, and there was no one else around her. Then she said, "I thought this little girl was young and inexperienced, so she would be easy to control. But I didn't expect that she could embarrass me every time."

Nanny Li naturally knew that Queen Gu was talking about Crown Princess Lu Lingxi, and responded, "It is not easy for the Marquis of Zhenguo to sit in his current position without the support of his family. The daughter he raised must not be really innocent. Her previous performance was mostly acting."

Queen Gu had some integrity: "This little girl dared to play tricks in front of me at such a young age. I was careless before. I will not let her down in the future."

Seeing that Queen Gu was a little angry, Nanny Li comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. These quarrels are harmless. The most important thing now is the eldest grandson of the legitimate emperor. His Majesty doesn't only favor the one in the Eastern Palace now. He is also very good to the eldest grandson of the legitimate emperor. If the Eastern Palace has no children, maybe His Majesty will change his mind one day."

Queen Gu nodded in agreement, then thought of the words "no children at all", and after thinking for a moment, she whispered something in Li Ma's ear.

After listening to this, Madam Li replied, "Today's matter must be dealt with later. I will do it immediately after returning to the palace."
