The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

"Mother, please calm down, this is what happened."

Five days ago, Qi Yejing and Concubine Hui went boating on the lake. It had rained two days before, and the soil by the lake was very soft. Concubine Hui didn't pay attention and stepped on empty air and fell into the lake.

Qi Yejing's heart skipped a beat and he quickly ordered people to go down and rescue Concubine Hui, but before the palace servants could go down, Concubine Hui was already carried up by someone.

That person was Jiang Xiunv who had not yet been canonized.

However, what caught Qi Yejing's attention was not that such a weak woman could swim and had strong arms, but that she looked very similar to Yun Zhining.

At least 80%.

You will know what happens next.

Originally, Yun Zhining was the most favored concubine in the harem, but she had been ill for some time, and Qi Yejing was unable to summon her to sleep with him. At this time, a person who looked very similar to Yun Zhining appeared, and naturally replaced Yun Zhining's position and became Qi Yejing's new favorite.

Everyone in the harem knew about this, including Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and Empress Dowager Xiaoci.

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan didn't say it because she believed that this so-called Concubine Jiang could not replace Yun Zhining, and Empress Dowager Xiaoci didn't say it because she was afraid that Yun Zhining would get angry and her condition would get worse after she knew about it. Madam Lin and others were worried about this, so they kept it secret from Yun Zhining.

Unfortunately, Yun Zhining was too smart and guessed the truth immediately, so Qingzhu had to explain it clearly.

After listening, Yun Zhining fell silent.

Qingzhu was worried that she would get stuck in a rut and do something to hurt herself, so she spoke quickly.

"The reason why the Emperor favored Consort Jiang was because she looked a bit like Your Majesty, and it was just a way for him to relieve his loneliness. Now that Your Majesty's health has gradually improved, the Emperor will definitely not give up a genuine one and choose a fake one. Please be at ease, Your Majesty, and don't fall into other people's traps."

"That's enough, Qingzhu, are you my maid or the emperor's maid?"

"Of course I am your Majesty's maid."

"Since you are my maid, you have to consider for me. Now, immediately, go out and find out the whereabouts of the emperor and Concubine Jiang. I want to know where they will go this afternoon and when I can meet them."

"Empress,..."

"Why, you don't even listen to me now?"

"The slaves dare not."

"Since you don't dare, then go quickly. I'm in a bad mood right now. If you keep making excuses, don't blame me for asking someone to drag you out and beat you with a stick."

Yun Zhining had made up her mind, and Qingzhu could not persuade her, so she could only do as she was told.

In the afternoon, the sun was not so hot anymore. Qi Yejing brought Jiang Xuanshi to a quiet garden. He played the piano while Jiang Xuanshi danced gracefully. A gust of wind blew, and flowers fell on Jiang Xuanshi's body. She instantly turned into a flower fairy.

"Clap clap clap!"

Yun Zhining had just arrived when she saw such a beautiful scene. She subconsciously clapped and cheered. The applause woke up Qi Yejing who was immersed in it. He quickly stood up and walked over to hold Yun Zhining's hand, saying in surprise.

"Aning, why are you here?"

Yun Zhining did not answer his question, but silently withdrew her hand.

"This morning, I felt a little better, so I went to see Doctor Chen for a checkup. After taking my pulse, Doctor Chen said that I was basically well again and could go out for a walk as a form of exercise. I prepared some food and wanted to send it to His Majesty."

"Who knew that after I went there, I learned that the emperor had taken Concubine Jiang out to play. I was a little sad, but I thought that since they were already out, I would find a place to eat so as not to waste it."

"I never thought that I would meet the emperor here, and there is a beautiful woman beside him, singing and dancing."

"I am really very sad."

Qi Yejing raised his lips and smiled, his eyes looking somewhat malicious.

"A Ning really came here by accident and met me?"

"What if it's true, what if it's false?"

"If it's true, it proves that I didn't favor the wrong person. We two really have a tacit understanding and can understand each other at once."

"If it's false, it means..."

"A Ning likes me very much and doesn't want me to favor other concubines at all."

Yun Zhining did not explain or refute, but climbed up the pole.

"If it is the latter, will His Majesty think that I am trying to harm His Majesty by spying on his mind?"

"Of course not. Aning went to great lengths to find out my whereabouts and tried to create a chance encounter with me, just because she cares about me."

"A Ning cares about me so much, let alone hurting me. If we go on the autumn hunt and someone wants to hurt me, A Ning will definitely rush to protect me without hesitation, right?"

She held Qi Yejing's hand and said with a firm look on her face.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as I am here, no one will dare to harm you."

"Even if I die, I will ensure the safety of the emperor."

"I knew that Aning was the best person to me in the harem. I really didn't favor the wrong person."

The two of them looked at each other and expressed their true feelings to each other. Concubine Jiang on the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"emperor,……"

The beauty let out a cry of anger, and Qi Yejing finally came back to his senses.

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty said that he would accompany me, why did you forget about me as soon as Ming Guipin came?"

"Go away, go away. How can a mere concubine like you be compared with Ming Guipin?"

Having said that, he did not ask Concubine Jiang to go back first, and was determined to hug her left and right.

Yun Zhining sneered inwardly when she saw this.

If this scene was seen by Concubine Shu, who loved him so much, she would definitely be heartbroken. She might even advise Qi Yejing to be careful about his words and deeds, to treat everyone equally, not to favor one person too much, or to summon two concubines at once to have fun with them, so as to avoid gossip among court officials and unrest in the harem.

Fortunately, she only used Qi Yejing as a tool, a stepping stone, and tried her best to please him, but she would not love him wholeheartedly. Seeing this situation, she would only feel a sense of crisis, but not heartache.

She reached out and tugged at Qi Yejing's sleeve, pretending to be angry.

"Your Majesty, look, this sister recognizes me, but I don't know her name. If this gets out, those gossipers in the harem will definitely say that I am arrogant. I can't beat four people with my own fists, and I will definitely be bullied to death by them."

Qi Yejing laughed.

"It's my fault."

"This is Consort Jiang, who lives in Hibiscus Pavilion with Consort Feng."

"It turns out to be Consort Jiang!"

"I have greeted the noble concubine, may the noble concubine live in peace and happiness."

"Mrs. Jiang, there is no need to be so polite."

Yun Zhining withdrew her gaze and turned it to Qi Yejing, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

"Why do I feel that Concubine Jiang looks somewhat similar to me?"
