Bringing love across time and space
Chapter 15: Concubine Jing's Test
Concubine Jing sat on an exquisite jade-carved chair, her eyes like the clear water in a pond.
Seemingly calm, but unfathomable.
Her eyes were fixed on Lin Qingya, who was eating cakes in an elegant manner.
It's like tasting the most delicious food in the world.
Concubine Jing looked at Lin Qingya, the newly promoted Princess of Chen.
Every move of the former Second Prince's wife revealed that she was different from before.
Lin Qingya sat upright on the cushion. She gently picked up a piece of pastry with her slender fingers and put it into her mouth elegantly.
Concubine Jing saw it all, but sneered in her heart.
She thought Lin Qingya had really become smart, but it turned out that he was just a vulgar person who was greedy for food.
However, Lin Qingya is not as simple as she seems.
She knew in her heart that the replaced cake was mixed with poison. If she didn't eat it,
Today, it would be difficult to get the Emperor and Concubine Jing in front of him to let her and Gu Yuchen leave the palace without worry.
Lin Qingya sat there quietly, holding a delicate teacup in her hand.
Savor the sweet tea carefully.
Every sip is as nourishing as nectar, bringing endless comfort and tranquility.
The tea flowed on the tip of her tongue, and she felt the unique aroma.
It seemed like a gift from nature, which deeply nourished her soul.
And those cakes were not Jingfei's cakes. They came from the software Youxuanmao.
Lin Qingya can purchase rare items from various worlds.
Although these cakes look the same as Jingfei cakes,
But in fact, it has been specially processed and is not only non-toxic but also beneficial to the body.
Lin Qingya savored the sweetness of the pastries carefully, but her heart was calm.
She knew that the reason Concubine Jing was testing her was simply to put him to death.
And everything that happened today was within her expectations.
Seeing Lin Qingya taking it so calmly, Concubine Jing began to doubt her own judgment.
Did Lin Qingya always pretend to be stupid?
But why did Lin Qingya pretend to be stupid? Could it be that the Second Prince’s wife is not as good as the current Princess Chen?
But if not, how to explain Lin Qingya's performance today!
It seems that Lin Qingya is still very powerful! She was able to fool everyone without them even noticing!
As time went by, Concubine Jing's patience gradually wore away.
She began to look for the next breakthrough.
He tried to find a flaw in King Chen from Lin Qingya. However,
No matter how she tried, Lin Qingya always remained smiling and calm, as if everything was under her control.
Finally, Concubine Jing could no longer suppress her anger, she stood up and
Concubine Jing opened her red lips and said elegantly, "I have been here for such a long time without realizing it.
Why don't you have dinner at my place before you go back?" Her words seemed to hint at some expectation.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingya immediately stood up and responded respectfully:
"Your Majesty is right. It is indeed late. The prince is still waiting for Qingya, so I won't disturb the Empress Jingfei from having dinner.
Qingya is extremely grateful for the hospitality from the Empress today, and will take her leave now."
Her voice was soft yet firm, revealing a sense of calmness and courtesy.
Although the conversation between the two was brief, it revealed the unique etiquette and propriety of the court, and also hinted at the complexity and subtlety of court life.
Concubine Jing was shocked by Lin Qingya's words. She had never seen anyone so calm in facing her temptation.
I have never seen such a firm and confident look in his eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that she might have underestimated the Princess Chen.
Lin Qingya also knew that although the test was over, the fight would never stop.
She must remain vigilant and smart at all times to survive in this dangerous environment.
However, Lin Qingya did not become complacent because she knew she still had a long way to go.
There are more challenges and opportunities ahead waiting for her to explore and conquer.
But she believes that as long as she maintains a brave and determined heart, she will be able to go further and higher.
And everything that happened today was within her expectations.
Lin Qingya's figure gradually disappeared in the depths of the palace, and Concubine Jing walked lightly towards the side hall.
The maid's whispered report was like a sharp sword piercing her heart, making her so angry that she could hardly control herself.
In this deep palace, every slight movement could cause a huge uproar.
If the emperor heard what happened today, it would undoubtedly not be a good thing for the second prince.
Although the emperor may not punish the second prince directly, there will always be prejudice, which is enough to affect the second prince's position in the emperor's heart.
Concubine Jing knew very well that in this treacherous palace, the slightest prejudice could become the key to determining victory or defeat.
She returned to the main hall with a serious look on her face, and asked the palace maids to wait outside the side hall, awaiting the arrival of the second prince.
Her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She felt angry and disappointed with what the Second Prince had done today.
But when she thought of the tea and pastries that Lin Qingya had enjoyed, she couldn't help but reveal a subtle smile.
"Prince Chen will soon be confiscated and exiled. Where will you go, Lin Qingya? I want to see how you can fight against us."
Concubine Jing thought silently in her heart, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Soon, the second prince appeared at the entrance of the main hall. He bowed and said respectfully, "Your son greets you, mother. Today I have good news for you."
Concubine Jing glanced at him indifferently, with a hint of disdain in her tone: "What good news can you have? I'm lucky that you don't make me angry."
However, when the Second Prince told her the news that Lin Qingjiao was pregnant, Concubine Jing's mood instantly became happy.
This news was undoubtedly great news for her.
If Lin Qingjiao can successfully give birth to the eldest grandson, the second prince's position in the succession to the throne will be more stable.
Concubine Jing has always been quite satisfied with Lin Qingjiao. Not only is Lin Qingjiao outstanding in appearance, but she is also smart and knows how to please her.
Every time Lin Qingjiao came to see Concubine Jing, she would bring expensive jewelry as a gift. She also learned the court etiquette very well and was able to make Concubine Jing happy every time.
Now, the news of Lin Qingjiao's pregnancy made Concubine Jing even more delighted.
She secretly thought in her heart that if she could successfully give birth to the eldest grandson, then she would definitely train the child well and make him the future emperor.
Concubine Jing was lost in thought. To be honest, she was thinking too far ahead. Her son hadn't even become the crown prince yet, but she was already thinking about her grandson becoming the emperor.
She was thinking too much because it was night time. As the saying goes, dreams can bring about anything.
Concubine Jing also wanted to set the wedding date as soon as possible, but she had no say in this matter. These matters had to be decided by the emperor.
But it is not appropriate to go to the emperor now. Every time the emperor talks with Prince Chen, he is in a bad mood. Going now will definitely bring bad luck.
