The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

The door was opened, the cold wind whistled in, and Wang Shaofu left without looking back.

The servants in the yard were silent.

Xie Anning stood there in a daze for a long time, tears streaming down his eyes.

Peirong saw it all when she came in. Her heart ached and her face showed heartache.

"My girl has been wronged..." She was furious as she recalled the mistreatment her girl had endured. "If the master and mistress were still alive, how could they allow the Wang family to bully you like this!"

Her daughter was the apple of the general's eye and the most proud and unbridled noblewoman in the capital in the past.

General Xie had been in the army for a long time and was injured. He only had one daughter. He wanted to stay at home to find a son-in-law, but his son-in-law repeatedly came to his house to ask for her hand in marriage, promising that if he could marry Xie Mingzhu, he would cherish her and never marry another woman in his life.

And now?

Taking a concubine on the grounds of having no children is understandable.

However, Old Lady Wang often uses her eldest daughter-in-law to set rules for her and repeatedly loses her temper in front of the servants. Which family behaves like this?

And the son-in-law... slammed the door and left in anger, asking me to cherish it?

This is because there is no successor in the general's mansion and her daughter has no brothers to help her!

After being married for more than ten years, Xie An Ning looked a little lost when she heard the unfamiliar name again.

"Peirong... tell me," she murmured, "was I wrong back then?"

She should stay in the Xie family, listen to her parents, choose one of the deputy generals under her father as her son-in-law, and continue to bring glory to the Xie family.

Instead of disliking the vulgarity of warriors, she was completely attracted to Wang Shaofu, who came from a noble family, was well-mannered, had a good appearance, and was gentle and considerate.

…………

Ning'an Palace, main hall.

The matter of Wang Wan falling into the water was thoroughly investigated.

The Yao family came to apologize, and the Wang family gladly accepted it.

Nanny Qian, who had successfully completed her mission, was now standing in the main hall, bowing and reporting.

He told her everything he had seen and heard in the Wang family over the past few days, no matter how big or small.

She spoke in detail and Jiang Lingyue listened attentively without interrupting her, but her brows furrowed more and more.

After Madam Qian finished speaking, she put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Madam Wang scolded her eldest daughter-in-law in front of the servants. What did Wang Shaofu do for a living, just to let his wife lose face?"

"Lord Wang hadn't returned home yet," Nanny Qian said fairly. "In front of Lord Wang, Old Madam Wang did restrain herself a little."

Hearing this, Jiang Lingyue's expression did not improve.

She didn't expect that the loving couple in the past would end up hating each other.

No children, took a concubine.

The harsh criticism from the mother-in-law and the infidelity of the husband are enough to make a woman in the harem miserable.

It is conceivable how unhappy Aunt Xie must be at this moment.

In her previous life, something happened to her only daughter.

After a series of blows, Aunt Xie, who came from a military family and had a strong mind, left her unfaithful husband and died with her daughter.

Just by thinking about it, Jiang Lingyue felt a slight pain in her heart.

Aunt Xie had a very miserable life in her previous life.

In comparison, the pain that Wang Shaofu suffered, whose temperament changed drastically after the loss of his wife and daughter, was nothing.

Jiang Lingyue pondered for a few breaths and said, "Wanniang wants to cancel the engagement, and Aunt Xie agrees, but the Wang family won't allow it. Is that what you mean?"

"That's right," Nanny Qian replied respectfully. "The Yao family is sincere in their apology, and they've already agreed that only after the eldest son Yao turns thirty can he be born a bastard. The Wang family has happily agreed."

From the Wang family's perspective, this matter is not wrong.

With Aunt Xie's influence in the Wang family, it can be said that she has no chance of influencing her daughter's marriage.

If that's the case, doesn't that mean Wan Niang has to marry into the Yao family even if she doesn't want to?

Jiang Lingyue of course stood on Xie Anning's side.

She said with an unpleasant expression, "When you return to the palace, did Aunt Xie ask you to bring a message to me?"

"Yes," Nanny Qian said, "Madam Wang said that when Miss Wang is well again, she will bring her daughter to the palace to thank you."

As for asking the palace to intervene and cancel his daughter's engagement, there was no mention of it.

Obviously, Aunt Xie is unwilling, at least not yet, to seek help from outside forces to solve her own problems.

Since this is the case, she certainly can't interfere without permission.

The hall was quiet for a few moments, and Jiang Lingyue said, "You've worked hard these past few days, Madam. Go down and rest."

Nanny Qian said she dared not and bowed and retreated.

…………

It was afternoon now, the sky was gray and very cold.

Winter began a few days ago and the weather became increasingly cold. Jiang Lingyue was reluctant to go out unless necessary.

His Majesty the Emperor, who wished she could accompany him in Chengming Palace every day, no longer forced her to go with him.

Because he simply opened a study next to the Ning'an Palace bedroom and moved many memorials there.

Apart from meeting with ministers and holding meetings in Chengming Hall, he also reviewed memorials every day in Ning'an Palace.

In other words, Jiang Lingyue now lives in the same palace with His Majesty the Emperor, and they are together day and night.

Being the exclusive favorite of the imperial concubine, countless people inside and outside the government envied her, but Jiang Lingyue only felt a headache.

She has no peace and quiet day and night!

Fortunately, because she could not leave the palace, perhaps worried that she would be bored, the Emperor relented and allowed Lu Chonghua and others to come and keep her company.

As for sending them out of the palace, we have to wait until the beginning of next spring.

Jiang Lingyue revealed what the emperor had said that day, reminding them that if they had someone they loved, they should not hide it and tell the emperor, and they would be granted marriage.

It would be ridiculous to tell anyone that His Majesty the Emperor arranged marriages for his concubines.

But since the concubines had been dismissed before, Lu Chonghua and the others had no choice but to believe it.

Thinking of Jiang Lingyue's kindness and wanting to accumulate more affection, they came more frequently every day.

There was singing and dancing, laughter and joy in Ning'an Palace every day, it was very lively.

Just now, Nanny Qian came back to report. The few people were good at observing people's expressions and tactfully took their leave.

And now, the hall, which had been bustling all day, finally quieted down for a few moments. As soon as Nanny Qian left, His Majesty the Emperor walked in.

After today's grand court meeting, Qi Junyi stayed in Chengming Hall to discuss matters with his ministers, so he came from Chengming Hall.

The wind was strong outside, and he was wearing a navy blue cloak, a jade crown to tie his hair, and a tall figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was really handsome.

The hall was filled with warmth from the heating in the hall. Qi Junyi untied his cloak and handed it to Liu Rong who was following closely behind him. He was wearing a black casual suit and walked towards the girl sitting in the main seat.

Jiang Lingyue interrupted her thoughts, glanced at him, and said, "Are you back?"

Qi Junyi hummed, walked over to sit beside her, put his arm around her shoulders, lowered his head and placed a kiss on her temples, and asked, "Those guys came over again today?"

"Yes," Jiang Lingyue said indifferently, "We knew you were coming back. That's why they hurriedly left first. It really stood out."

To be honest, no one knows what happened. The concubines who were quite ambitious a few months ago, now rush to take their leave as soon as the emperor shows up.

It seemed as if they were afraid of being misunderstood as wanting to win favor.

Jiang Lingyue boasted that she did not have such a strong deterrent power that made them so afraid.

Who is it that makes them afraid to have the desire to make progress? Need I say more?

Perhaps her tone was too stiff, Qi Junyi laughed when he heard it. After the coldness in his body completely dissipated, he gently exerted force on the hand on her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

During these days, His Majesty the Emperor had done all the more intimate things to her on the bed. After experiencing so many incredible things, in Jiang Lingyue's eyes now, such a hug was nothing.

She did not resist, but rested her head on his chest obediently, listening to the strong heartbeat beneath his chest without saying a word.

Qi Junyi hugged her for a while, and couldn't help but lower his head again. This time, his slightly cool lips fell on her earlobe, and his hot breath sprayed on her ear, staining the girl's delicate neck with a light red.

The man who had seen all the changes had a darkened look in his eyes, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and his lips moved, trying to divert attention. He said, "That beautiful lady Zhao, is here today too?"
