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

"Okay," Qi Junyi pinched the soft flesh on her waist, "then I'll help you solve your doubts."

After saying this, he called Liu Rong in and told him to summon Concubine Xian and Lady Zhao to come for an audience.

It was so hot outside, he had no intention of taking the girl to the concubine palace.

It is naturally not a good idea to summon concubines in Guang'an Palace.

The two went to the back hall.

Jiang Lingyue sat on the soft chair, declined the emperor's service, and peeled a grape by herself.

Her fingertips, as white as scallions, were stained with purple juice, but she didn't care at all. She slowly tore off the grape skin and put it into her mouth.

In such a hot day, as soon as she took a bite of the fresh chilled grapes, her eyes narrowed slightly in comfort, and Qi Junyi's eyes were filled with tears.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he said, "Peel one for me."

Jiang Lingyue glanced at him and didn't refuse. She peeled another one quickly and put it to his lips.

Qi Junyi opened his lips and took the cool fruit flesh in. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his warm lips touched her fingertips and took away the grape juice on them.

Jiang Lingyue's knuckles trembled and she looked at him with pursed lips.

Although she was a little bolder, she did not dare to scold the current emperor. She could only stare at him with her eyes that were more watery than grapes.

After Qi Junyi swallowed the fruit pulp, he smiled and said, "I didn't mean it."

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

Just now, she was just suspicious.

Now, after he explained it.

She has confirmed it.

He did it on purpose.

There were a group of palace maids in the hall. It was unbelievable that the emperor was so unbelievable.

Jiang Lingyue felt a little embarrassed, and also a little angry.

At this time, a eunuch came in to report.

The virtuous concubine is here.

Her palace was closer, so she arrived first.

Qi Junyi said: "Let her in."

When the concubines arrived, Jiang Lingyue prided herself on her image and didn't want to eat fruit that would make her hands sticky. After washing her hands, she took out a handkerchief to wipe them, but the person next to her intercepted the handkerchief.

When Concubine Xian came in, she saw the aloof, dignified and indifferent emperor wiping the hands of the girl beside him with a handkerchief.

His eyes were gentle, affectionate and extremely focused.

That was a tenderness that had never been shown to anyone.

She paused for a moment, then slowly stepped into the center, knelt on both knees, holding her belly, and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

This is a great gift.

When a concubine was pregnant, she would be called up before she even bent her knees when she met the emperor.

Such a grand gift is rarely given.

But the emperor in front of her refused to show mercy, so she carefully touched her forehead to the ground.

Jiang Lingyue's gaze fell first.

This is her cousin.

She is the eldest daughter of her uncle.

In terms of blood, the two should actually be very close.

She even had a verbal engagement with her younger brother, the eldest son of the Yongle Marquisate.

If her uncle and aunt agree, she will marry into the marquis's mansion after she reaches the age of fifteen.

But since her grandmother passed away, the Yongle Marquis Mansion never looked at her again.

I'm afraid of being caught by her.

When she was young, her grandmother took pity on her because her mother died early, so she brought her up to teach her and doted on her so much that even her own granddaughter did not.

Perhaps out of jealousy, this cousin never gave her a good look.

Later, he even took the lead in humiliating her.

The last time they met in the Imperial Garden was the first time they met after growing up.

At that time, one of them was the fiancée of a foreign official, and the other was the emperor's concubine, one of the three concubines, and a first-rank official.

She was the only one who had the right to greet the other party.

And now.

She sat at the top of the table alongside the emperor.

The virtuous concubine knelt down and kowtowed politely.
