The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor
Chapter 21: Flirting, flirting, and undercurrents
I haven't seen her for so many days. She has lost a lot of weight. I didn't go to see her. Shouldn't she be happy, eat well, drink well and sleep well?
This dress looks good and suits her skin tone very well, making her look delicate and bright.
Jiang Wange accepted Xiahou Xuan's gaze openly, but in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were just flirting with each other.
"Xuan'er——"
The Queen Mother called out in a low voice, bringing Xiahou Xuan back to consciousness, and he then withdrew his gaze.
Concubine Shu glared at Jiang Wange angrily:
This vixen seduced Your Majesty as soon as Your Majesty arrived!
When seeing Concubine Shu's shocked look, Jiang Wange smiled softly and did not take her seriously. Instead, she just enjoyed the snacks on the small table.
She hadn't eaten such exquisite and delicious snacks for a long time, so she had to make up for it tonight.
"My lady, you should pay attention to your image. What concubine would attend a banquet just to eat like you?" Qianyue reminded Jiang Wange helplessly.
"If I don't eat it tonight, there won't be such delicious snacks later. I'll eat it first to make up for the cost."
Jiang Wange didn’t care what Qianyue said, all she had eyes for was food!
While dealing with the Queen Mother, Xiahou Xuan secretly watched Jiang Wange. Seeing that she was only focused on eating at the banquet, he secretly cursed her for being useless.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Yong'an has returned to the capital. Why can't I see Prince Yong'an's people?" Concubine Shu asked Xiahou Xuan with a smile.
Just as Xiahou Xuan was about to respond, he saw Xiahou Cong and Chen Fei appear together.
"Please forgive me, my royal brother. I ran into the Empress Chen on the road. She sprained her ankle, so I sent her back. That's why I'm late."
Xiahou Cong strode up to Xiahou Xuan and explained why he came so late.
"Is Qingyu okay? Do you need Doctor Xuan to take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Xuan frowned and asked with a little concern.
"Don't worry, my royal brother. The Empress Chen is fine. I have sent the imperial physician to see her. She just can't attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The Empress Chen asked me to apologize to you, my royal brother."
"It's okay. Health is the most important thing. Just let her recover well."
The two brothers kept arguing with each other, not taking Concubine Shu and the Queen Mother seriously at all. Then Xiahou Cong sat next to Xiahou Xuan.
As soon as Xiahou Cong sat down, he whispered to Xiahou Xuan:
"Brother, please point out to me who is Concubine Jiang?"
"He is the best-looking one in the crowd." Xiahou Xuan said confidently.
Xiahou Cong looked in the direction where the concubines were gathered, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Wange in red palace dress.
At the first sight, Xiahou Cong was stunned by Jiang Wange's beauty.
"The one in red clothes is Concubine Jiang? Your Majesty is so lucky to have such a beauty. I am so envious of her." Xiahou Cong teased in a low voice.
"Envy? Do you dare to say that in front of Qingyu?" Xiahou Xuan rolled his eyes secretly:
You little bastard, you actually dared to make fun of him!
"Brother Emperor, I was wrong. Please don't say anything nonsense in front of Qingyu. I only have Qingyu in my heart and eyes."
When Xiahou Cong heard this, he immediately gave in and begged Xiahou Xuan to spare him.
"Qianyue, this Prince Yong'an really looks like Your Majesty, but Prince Yong'an looks a lot more lively and active than Your Majesty, more like a spirited young man."
From a modern aesthetic point of view, isn't Prince Yong'an a typical little wolfdog? This type of boy is very popular with girls.
Jiang Wange liked this type of boy and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
"My lady, just take a look. Don't keep staring at Prince Yong'an. You are His Majesty's noble. It's not good to keep staring at Prince Yong'an like this."
Lian Qianyue noticed that Jiang Wange's gaze was too scorching, and quickly reminded her to avoid being used as an excuse.
"Everyone loves beauty. I look at Prince Yong'an with admiration. Don't be so dirty-minded."
Qianyue: .....I am dirty???
Xiahou Xuan also noticed that Jiang Wange seemed to have a great interest in Xiahou Cong. His eyes kept lingering on Xiahou Cong and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Xiahou Cong hadn't noticed anything yet. He was drinking and watching the singing and dancing performances, unaware at all that his royal brother's gaze was looking as if he wanted to gouge him out!
"Your Majesty, I offer a toast to Your Majesty and Prince Yong'an, wishing Your Majesty and Prince Yong'an brothers to live in harmony, and wishing Fengyu Kingdom to be prosperous and peaceful forever—"
Concubine Shu raised her glass and moved closer to Xiahou Xuan. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Especially after Concubine Shu said these two words of blessing, it would be difficult for either Xiahou Xuan or Xiahou Cong to refuse.
At the same time, the Queen Mother glanced at the eunuch who was pouring wine for Xiahou Xuan. The eunuch immediately understood and filled Xiahou Xuan's glass.
"It's been a long time since we last met. Madam Shufei is getting better and better at talking. I'll drink this wine first as a sign of respect—"
Xiahou Cong raised the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. When Xiahou Xuan saw the glass touching his lips, he was slightly stunned and then drank the wine in the glass all in one gulp.
The moment the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu saw Xiahou Xuan drink the wine, they couldn't hide the gleam in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you have been busy with state affairs for many days and have not been to the harem for a long time. Why don't you go to the harem tonight and take a walk around, so that you can have more children for the royal family as soon as possible."
"That's what the Queen Mother advised." Xiahou Xuan responded softly, without any further words.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother continued:
"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet was organized very well by Concubine Shu. As a reward, how about Your Majesty staying in Chenghuan Palace tonight?"
The Queen Mother had made it clear by what she had said. If Xiahou Xuan refused, it would inevitably offend the Queen Mother.
"My dear Concubine Shu, you have done a good job. I will stay in Chenghuan Palace tonight."
When Xiahou Xuan said this, he glanced at Jiang Wange specifically, and seeing that she was still concentrating on eating, he couldn't help but get angry.
Eat, eat, eat. Why don't you eat me to death? Didn't you hear that I'm going to Concubine Shu's palace tonight? Why don't you show any sign of anything?
Xiahou Cong also looked at his brother with great pity:
I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager is still so keen on sending people to my brother. It's really hard for my brother. He has to deal with a vicious woman like Concubine Shu tonight!
Seeing Xiahou Xuan agreed, the Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction.
Concubine Shu also began to look forward to tonight's sleepover with great joy, and she couldn't suppress the blush on her face.
"My lady, please drink less. This wine has a strong aftereffect. I won't be able to support you by myself." Qianyue saw that Jiang Wange had already drunk several glasses of wine and couldn't help but remind him.
"Okay, I won't drink it then."
Jiang Wange didn't want to get drunk and have to be carried back, which would be too embarrassing.
But after a while, Jiang Wange felt unwell.
"Qianyue, I seem to be a little drunk. Please help me get some fresh air to wake myself up."
