After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!
Chapter 64: Harem Fight
Although Li Jing was unhappy in his heart, he still had a flawless smile on his face and took Zhang Youwei to her residence: Mingyue Pavilion!
The Mingyue Pavilion was indeed quite remote. It took the two of them nearly half an hour to walk west from the Imperial Garden to reach the Mingyue Pavilion!
The courtyard of Mingyue Pavilion was much smaller than those of other palaces. Zhang Youwei stepped inside and saw that there was nothing else except the furnishings needed for daily life.
There is a small side hall behind the palace, in which is placed a Buddha statue and a table for copying scriptures.
If it were someone else, they would naturally think that this was where a palace maid lived. This place was remote, without sunlight, and the furnishings were simple. It was even hard to tell that this was where a concubine lived.
Zhang Youwei even felt sorry for her. She had been ostracized and targeted by everyone in the harem for the sake of wealth and glory. But in the end, she had to live like this in the palace.
The emperor will favor anyone who looks like his dead white moonlight until someone more similar appears.
You will be his only one at present. If someone more similar appears, then he will discard him like a worn-out shoe. There are too many Li Jings in this harem.
Some people got it for the sake of wealth and glory, and imitated the emperor's white moonlight step by step. Some were snatched from the people by the emperor when he went on a secret visit.
If the family had some foundation, it would not be so hard to live in the harem. At least the family would give a little money. If the family was already poor, I am afraid that life would only look a little better than before.
Li Jing naturally saw through Zhang Youwei's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Sister, do you think my place is too shabby?"
Zhang Youwei shook her head and said, "I don't dislike you. I'm just thinking that you've been in this palace for so many years and I've never come to see you. I remember when you were favored, your life was so glorious. But how come you're living like this now? There are so many sarcastic voices about you outside!"
After listening to this, Li Jing's smile froze for a moment and he said, "Yes! My life is so miserable now. That's why everyone can bully me! I was quite favored at first. But then new people came in. Isn't this a world where only new people laugh and old people cry?"
Zhang Youwei also knew what kind of person the emperor was. What Li Jing said was of course true. The emperor had only been deceiving himself, and he loved his own white moonlight the most!
Li Jing saw Zhang Youwei in a trance, so he asked: "Sister, what's the matter with you coming here today? Just tell me directly. I know you are not here to make fun of me."
Zhang Youwei looked around, and finally set her eyes on Li Jing and said: "The turmoil in the palace has started again recently. Or it has never stopped!"
As he spoke, he looked at Li Jing's expression. Li Jing said calmly, "Isn't this normal? Where there are people, there will be disputes and disturbances!
My sister has long been oblivious to what is happening outside. She just prays to Buddha and copies Buddhist scriptures every day, which is the best thing for her! "
Zhang Youwei listened to Li Jing's words, and cast her eyes to the side room. With a barely perceptible smile on her lips, she said, "Sister is really pure and unselfish. She has been able to copy Buddhist scriptures for so many years."
After walking around the side hall, I found that it was not what Zhang Youwei thought. Although there was a statue of Buddha inside, there was no sign of burning incense.
On the table inside were Buddhist scriptures, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. But the ink looked like it had not been used for many years.
When Zhang Youwei went in to see, Li Jing was already a little panicked. He immediately said, "Sister, do you think my sister didn't burn incense and worship Buddha properly?"
Zhang Youwei had long guessed that Li Jing had only been pretending all these years. He was trying to keep a low profile. He said he didn't care about anything, but he didn't miss anything that he should fight for.
Zhang Youwei also sneered at this time and said: "Stop pretending! Aren't you tired of pretending for so many years? You pretend to be unpopular on the surface, but you still have a lot to fight for behind the scenes!"
After hearing these words, Li Jing was already confused, but he still had a decent smile on his face.
Li Jing knew that she couldn't be discovered, so she changed her tone and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? When did my sister pretend? I'm already so poor here. How can I pretend?"
Zhang Youwei looked at Li Jing, who did not show any embarrassment on his face.
He smiled and said: "Sister, you are really a good actor. No wonder the emperor was able to take a fancy to you.
It's worth it that my sister has endured so many years of scolding. Sister, the things you put here can fool others, but they can't fool me! "
Then he pointed at the Buddha statue and said: "If you really believe in Buddhism, then it is impossible for the Buddha to stop burning incense. Look at this incense burner, it has not been burned for a long time, right?
Look at this Buddha statue again, it is already covered with dust. If someone is really caring, it is impossible to let the Buddha statue become like this. "
Zhang Youwei looked at Li Jing whose expression changed slightly.
He immediately pointed to the table next to him and said, "Although this table is piled with Buddhist scriptures, this book is too new. If you really copied the Buddhist scriptures, it is impossible for the book to be so new.
Your writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone are all covered in dust.
I don’t know if my sister is deceiving others or herself!”
Li Jing didn't expect that Zhang Youwei could see that she was pretending so easily. The hand hidden in her sleeve clenched into a fist.
On the surface, she pretended to be calm and said, "Sister, you are not here to reminisce about the past. Just say whatever you want to say!"
Zhang Youwei looked at Li Jing's pretentious look and said, "Of course I'm not here to reminisce about the past. What's there to reminisce about with you? How did you climb from my room to the emperor's bed?"
Li Jing's face turned awkward as he said, "Sister, are you blaming me? But sister, it was the Emperor who insisted!"
Zhang Youwei couldn't bear to listen any longer, and immediately said, "There's nothing to talk about in the past. It's your freedom to climb into bed or not. But you hurt my son. I'm not done with you!"
Li Jing was already feeling scared. She was always cautious in her actions. So she was sure that Zhang Youwei couldn't know.
Li Jing immediately pretended to be wronged and said: "Sister, your son's legs are broken.
You can't blame all this on your sister, can you? You can't vent all your anger on me, can you? "
Zhang Youwei looked at her and approached Li Jing step by step.
Li Jing stepped back in fear and said, "What are you going to do, sister? Is it because I have fallen out of favor? So you are targeting me?"
Li Jing was so scared that she collapsed to the ground. Zhang Youwei looked down at her and said, "You have fallen out of favor, why would I target you? But you are targeting my son. This matter is not over yet!"
Li Jing immediately said, "Why are you talking nonsense when there is no evidence?"
Zhang Youwei raised her hand and slapped Li Jing in the face and said, "No evidence? Didn't you hurt my son?"
Li Jing shook his head frantically!
Zhang Youwei looked at the book she wrote to Li Jingdi and said slowly, "If you hadn't said something to the Second Prince, do you think he would have done something to my son?
You really are good at it! Killing two birds with one stone. Do you think your son can sit firmly on the throne?"
The expression on Li Jing's face was wonderful. She really couldn't imagine what kind of person Zhang Youwei was.
She still said stubbornly: "Sister, please don't slander me. When did I go to see the Second Prince?
Your son and the second prince are at odds with each other. You blame me for this. This is clearly slander!"
Zhang Youwei immediately began to clap and said, "Sister, you really have great acting skills.
When I was serving you in the past, I really didn't know it!
Do you think I don't know what you did?"
Li Jing was already panicking at this time, but the viciousness flashing in her eyes was naturally seen by Zhang Youwei.
Zhang Youwei admired Li Jing and said, "On the night of the celebration banquet, you went to find Shen Yige. That night, my son got into trouble. Do you think all this really has nothing to do with you?"
Li Jing immediately said: "The accident happened to Luo Qingqing's carriage. What does it have to do with your son!"
Zhang Youwei smiled as she watched. No one knows that my son had an accident in Luo Qingqing's carriage. How did you know? Do you still think you are innocent?
Li Jing immediately put aside his previous panic and said, "Luo Qingqing's car, your son showed up.
Isn't it your son who should be blamed? Why blame me? "
Zhang Youwei pinched Li Jing's neck and said: "You just want Luo Qingqing to get into trouble. Your son should go and save her.
Then your son could take advantage of the situation. But my son didn't give you the chance.
Could it be that my son's death was not indirectly caused by you?
Why are you pretending to be such a fool here? "
Li Jing couldn't struggle now, he just smiled brightly at Zhang Youwei.
Zhang Youwei looked at Li Jing like this and let go.
After Zhang Youwei let go, Li Jing smiled provocatively at her and said, "Your mother's family is powerful. You still don't dare to kill me.
If you kill me, my son will definitely not let you go.
And your son, don’t let him die without knowing how he died.”
Zhang Youwei looked at her and said with a smile: "Your son? Who is your son? Do you really think your son is a big shot?
Even if your son were to throw himself at Luo Qingqing, she wouldn't necessarily want him to do that.
What are you still proud of here?
Besides, who told you that your son will surely become the future emperor?
Tell your son to stop being a troublemaker. Otherwise, he will die without knowing how he died. "
Talking about Li Jing's son, Li Jing naturally said, "You don't like my son. Are you interested in buying a disabled son of yours?
The disabled person and my son, everyone knows who to choose! "
Zhang Youwei smiled brightly and said: "Do you think everyone is like you and likes to share a husband with others?
Doesn’t your son like his cousin very much?
I even took him to travel around Jiangnan. Do you think everyone is like you?"
Li Jing rushed over and tried to hit Zhang Youwei, but Zhang Youwei kicked her in the stomach.
Li Jing rolled on the ground in pain. He kept saying, "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with sharing a husband?"
My son still has the right to inherit the throne just like your son.
I can snatch the emperor from you.
My son will naturally seize the throne from your son.
I don't believe there is anyone who is not interested in the throne.
Luo Qingqing is not so ungrateful. She is nice to my son because my son is giving her face. "
Zhang Youwei looked at Li Jing like this and didn't know what to feel for a moment.
In his heart, he said to her with full of sarcasm: "How can you be so confident? And you even like your son.
Don't forget, the emperor said so.
Whoever Luo Qingqing marries will be the future emperor.
It's not that others are trying to get ahead of you, but that you are trying to get ahead of others!
Would I be so stupid as to come here and share a husband with someone else?
Or do you think that no one else is qualified to inherit the throne except your son?
My son is disabled. What a pity. Even if he is disabled, my mother's family will still protect him.
Your son is not disabled. How many people in the court are willing to support your son?
Don't forget, the emperor said that in five years, the second prince might also resume his position!
What do you think your son's chances are?
If your son really had a chance of winning, then you wouldn't have gone to curry favor with Luo Qingqing today!
I didn't say these things at the beginning because I was giving you face.
Since you are so ungrateful, I won't give you any face!"
Li Jing spat on the ground and said, "Do you think the emperor would allow a disabled person to inherit the throne?
A healthy person and an unhealthy person, who should you choose?
So what if you have so many supporters?
As long as Luo Qingqing and the emperor don't choose you?
Aren’t you still a loser?"
Zhang Youwei looked at Li Jing's angry expression and thought she was really funny.
So he continued, "Yes. I won't choose a disabled one. But there are still two princes who are still competitive.
Can your abilities compare to those people?
Your son is with Luo Qingqing. Isn't it because the Prime Minister can support your son?
You yourself are of humble origin, yet you still look down on Luo Qingqing who is also of humble origin! How noble do you think you are?
Do you think you will let Luo Qingqing marry your son? "
Li Jing's secret was exposed. He immediately started to curse: "You bitch. You will definitely die a miserable death in the future!
My son will definitely ascend the throne!
Just wait! When the time comes, let your son watch my son ascend the throne himself.
And you, too, must look at me and salute!"
Zhang Youwei took out a dagger from her waist and said, "Oh? You're not going to die well? Then let's see who dies first?
Aren't you thinking too highly of your useless son?
You are not good at studying, and you are not good at being a human being. You are the only one who still treats me like a baby, right?
Look at your son. Take a good look!
Only Luo Qingqing doesn't dislike your son. You still chose him. Who gave you the courage?
Or, Luo Qingqing dotes on your son too much. Have you forgotten what your son looks like?"
As he spoke, the dagger approached Li Jing's waist. Li Jing immediately looked at Zhang Youwei with a deathly pale face.
