"Your Majesty, you are joking. These few things of mine are just for display. It would be better to take them out now and do you a favor..."

Seeing the emperor coming in, Concubine Jing smiled and bowed respectfully.

"My beloved, please don't be so polite. These are just some external things. As long as you are happy..."

The emperor felt a little sad and reached out to help Concubine Jing up.

He still had some genuine feelings for this woman, but the situation in the court was such that there was nothing he could do. He could only let her down in this life.

However, except for not being able to give her a child, he has tried his best to make up for this regret in other aspects over the years.

Looking at the things in the room, the emperor sighed, took Concubine Jing's hand and sat down.

"I'm sorry for having wronged you over the years. Once the peace talks with the Northern Di are over, I will accompany you back to Prince Ning's Mansion and let you have a good talk with them..."

"Then I will take note of this. Your Majesty must keep his word."

When Empress Jing heard that she could reunite with her family, her eyes immediately lit up. She glanced at the emperor coquettishly and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Hahaha... Don't worry, my beloved concubine. These are my words, and I must keep them..."

Of course the emperor would be happy when a woman acted coquettishly towards him.

He reached out and gently stroked her shoulders, his eyes full of tenderness.

Although there are countless beauties in his harem, the most relaxing place is still with Concubine Jing.

Although he comes from a family of military generals, he has a gentle personality and is very tactful in his actions.

Besides, she doesn't have any children of her own, so she won't get involved in all that mess, which will allow her to have some peace and quiet.

Before the two of them had said a few words, a palace servant came in to report that everyone from Prince Ning's mansion had entered the palace.

Concubine Jing had already sent people to meet them at the palace gate. At this time, Yuxiu and the others got on the sedan chairs and were carried by several sturdy old women, walking unsteadily inside the palace.

Xu Qinghe was taken by his elder brother Xu Jinren through the other side into the palace and waited outside the hall where the emperor usually worked.

The emperor had been waiting in Concubine Jing's palace until Yuxiu and others arrived. After saying a few words, he told people to serve him well and stood up to meet Xu Qinghe and others.

Concubine Jing was extremely excited. She had already prepared a lot of things to say to her family. However, when she saw them, her nose felt sore and she started to cry.

Of course, the women understood her feelings and started crying too.

This dense palace wall has isolated their family for so many years.

Yuxiu was also very emotional. Although she had never lived in the harem, she had watched a lot of TV dramas about this in her previous life.

Any woman who enters here, no matter how innocent she is, will be forced to become evil.

There is really no way. Even if you don't harm others, they will not forgive you.

Only by fighting and competing, and then climbing up step by step to a higher position, and stepping on those who want to plot against you, can you breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Concubine Jing's condition should be much better than that of others.

Coming from a family of military generals, her brothers and nephews are now leading troops to fight in wars. No matter whether it is the Queen or the Consort Xian, they can only try to win over and please her.

The main reason, of course, was that she had not been able to give birth to a child in all the years since she entered the palace. There was no reason for her to fight for it, and others naturally excluded her if they wanted to beat or kill her.

In addition, Concubine Jing had a gentle personality and the emperor valued her very much, so he would go to her bedroom to accompany her from time to time.

Although others would be jealous, they would feel relieved when they thought that going to her palace was better than going to the palace of their mortal enemy.

In their minds, as long as they don't give birth to a prince, it will be of no use even if they are favored.

It was not appropriate to ask too much about royal affairs, so the Cui family members only talked a few words about family matters.

Concubine Jing was listening with sparkling eyes. Her longing look hurt the hearts of the Cui women. Even Yuxiu felt a little bit sorry for them.

But Concubine Jing refused to change the subject. She asked about the old princess' health, then about Cui's two children, and asked more about Xu Qinghe, her brother whom she had never met.

Yuxiu then told her about several things that happened in Xujia Village in the past. Although she tried to speak in a lighthearted tone, Concubine Jing was still very angry and sad after hearing it.

Fortunately, she had felt a little conflicted before, and sometimes she would feel sorry for Xu Jinran, her former third brother.

The main reason is that she has been good to Xu Jinran's family over the years. Although Qin and Xu Letie have some small thoughts, they can't show them in front of her, so the impression left on them is still good.

Besides, Xu Jinran was still a little kid who knew nothing at that time. Although his parents were indeed hateful, the situation at that time was not something that a little kid like him could decide.

But after listening to what Yuxiu and Cui said today, I completely suppressed those thoughts.

Ha ha……

I feel sorry for their whole family, but who will feel sorry for my brothers?

Although Concubine Jing has a gentle temperament, she also hates evil.

In her eyes, since those people from the Xu family bullied Xu Qinghe and others, they were definitely bad guys.

But she quickly came out of her emotions, looked at Cui with a face full of satisfaction, and said with a sigh:

"This might be God's special arrangement. If he hadn't experienced that, he wouldn't have met a woman as good as you in his life, let alone have these children..."

This is really the truth. With Xu Qinghe's status as the third master of Ning Wangfu, any woman he marries would not be a country girl.

"Well, our family should thank that woman. If it weren't for her mischief, we wouldn't have such a miraculous doctor in our family..."

Princess Ning made a joke, and everyone else laughed along, and the atmosphere in the room became a lot more relaxed.

Ever since the truth of the matter was revealed, the old princess announced that the name of Xu Muyun was not allowed to be mentioned in the family.

So sometimes when people mention this person, they use that woman instead.

After chatting and laughing for a few words, Concubine Jing was just about to take them to see the things she had prepared today when a palace maid came in to report.

It was said that the Empress Dowager and Consort Xian had sent people to invite the wives of Princess Ning to their palace for a visit.
