Kong Yu from the palace?
Jing Yi did not respond for a long time.
After a while, Concubine Xiao noticed that Jing Yi did not respond. She became a little anxious and used her sleeve to nudge him.
She said, "Did you hear what Lady Mother said just now?"
Jing Yi regained his composure and nodded. "This son understands. This year's gift must be carefully prepared."
"Not only must you be careful, but you must also choose the best."
"Yes!"
"Of course, Imperial Mother will also plan for you. I will probe your Imperial Father's opinion and see what you like."
"Thank you, Imperial Mother."
After a while, Concubine Xiao sighed.
She then muttered, "I wonder what Jing Rong's gift this year will be?"
Jing Rong had always been low-key. The gifts he gave were neither expensive nor shabby. They were just ordinary birthday gifts.
But this year, Jing Rong began to investigate the 'Lin Capital Case'. With the addition of a clever Teacher Ji, he naturally stood out.
Naturally, countless pairs of eyes in the imperial court began to watch closely.
Concubine Xiao had no choice but to be on guard.
This birthday banquet had undoubtedly become a competition between the princes.
Who would win and who would lose? Everyone was waiting to see.
Not long after Jing Yi left Zhangzhi Hall, Sang Lan ran in and shouted, "Your Ladyship, the Princess fainted in her chambers."
"What?"
"When Xiao Mei went in, the Princess fell to the ground."
Concubine Xiao's face turned pale. She was stunned for a moment before she rushed to Jing Xuan's chambers.
She did not forget to order, "Quickly summon the imperial physician!"
The entire Zhangzhi Hall was in an uproar.
At this moment, Jing Xuan was unconscious on the bed. There was a large bruise in the center of her forehead. It was bruised and bleeding.
Concubine Xiao had just arrived when the imperial physician came over.
After examining her, the imperial physician prostrated himself on the ground. "Although the Princess is unconscious from the bruise, it is not a serious problem. She will be fine after the bruise has dispersed. This official will prescribe a few medicines for the Princess to take on time."
'It's fine!
It's fine as long as she's fine! '
Concubine Xiao felt relieved.
He waved his hand to dismiss the old imperial physician.
Concubine Xiao sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her pitiful daughter. She reached out and touched Jing Xuan's thin face. Her heart ached. "What would I do if something happened to you?"
His eyes were red!
Sang Lan said from the side, "Niang niang, the imperial physician said that the princess is fine, niang niang …"
Pa —
Before he could finish speaking, Concubine Xiao raised her hand and slapped him.
His nail polish cut Sang Lan's fair face in the instant he swung his hand, the nail polish on her nail polish pierced her skin.
A red scar was left on his body!
Sang Lan covered her face and knelt down with a thud. All the servants in the room also knelt down.
"This servant knows her mistake, please spare me, Your Highness!"
Concubine Xiao angrily pointed at the people in the room. "You're all a bunch of useless dogs. Fortunately, the princess is fine. If something had happened, I would have taken your heads."
As it turned out, Concubine Xiao was only using Sang Lan as a warning to others!
"Your Highness, please spare my life."
The servants crouched down and trembled, afraid that if they were not careful, their heads would be separated from their bodies.
Concubine Xiao was already in a bad mood. The more she looked at these servants, the more displeased she became.
Fortunately, Jing Xuan woke up!
She coughed a few times.
When Jing Xuan opened her eyes, she saw her mother sitting on the edge of the bed.
She murmured, "Imperial Mother?"
"Xuan 'er, you're awake? Do you feel uncomfortable? "Her tone softened.
"I'm fine."
"You really scared Imperial Mother to death."
She pouted her dry lips with a fake expression on her face.
Her eyes reddened involuntarily, and she felt wronged as she called out, "Imperial Mother!"
Concubine Xiao's heart softened and she held Jing Xuan's cold hands.
"Do you want to eat something? Tell Imperial Mother and I'll have the imperial kitchen prepare it. "
She shook her head.
"I know Imperial Mother did it for my own good, so you let Sister Yu take my place. Fortunately, this matter has been dropped. Otherwise, this daughter will feel uneasy for the rest of my life. "
As she spoke, she began to cry.
Concubine Xiao couldn't get angry. She sighed, "Alright, alright. It's all in the past. Don't mention it anymore. It's my fault for locking you up in the palace these past few days."
"Then, Imperial Mother, can you promise me one thing?"
"Speak!"
"Since Sister Yu doesn't need to go to Qujiang for the marriage, can Imperial Mother ask Imperial Father to let her leave the palace? I know she doesn't like it at all. "
Her tone was filled with longing.
Concubine Xiao's heart tightened.
If Jing Xuan knew that she planned to marry Kong Yu to the Crown Prince and spend the rest of her life in the palace, she would probably die of sadness.
So …
She lied!
"Alright, Imperial Mother promises you that I will definitely ask your Imperial Father to let her leave the palace."
"Really?"
Jing Xuan's eyes lit up.
Concubine Xiao nodded and smiled. She turned to the servants who were still kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Ladyship."
"Go and inform the imperial kitchen to make some dishes that the princess likes to eat and some appetizers."
"Yes!"
The two palace maids hurried to carry out the task.
Jing Xuan sat up on the bed. Her face was pale, but she smiled happily.
Kong Yu didn't need to go to Qujiang in her place and could leave the palace.
The huge stone in her heart was lifted.
Not long after, the imperial kitchen sent some snacks and Kong Yu also arrived.
When she heard that Jing Xuan had hit her head, she rushed over from Shaoxian Hall.
Concubine Xiao held Kong Yu's hand and said with a loving expression, "Huiwen, you must have suffered in your heart these days. Fortunately, it's all in the past. Look at Xuan 'er, she doesn't let me be at ease. You should come and accompany her more often. Both of you are about the same age, so you can talk."
Her tone was so sweet that it couldn't be more sweet.
Kong Yu only smiled faintly and nodded.
Concubine Xiao patted the back of her hand and said a few words to Jing Xuan before leaving.
The servants in the room also let out a long sigh of relief.
Jing Xuan got off the bed and pulled Kong Yu to sit on the soft cushion.
"Sister Yu, do you still blame me?"
"Silly, I already said that this matter has nothing to do with you."
"But …"
Kong Yu interrupted her.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore."
Jing Xuan's eyes drooped, then she raised her head and said, "Right, Sister Yu, Imperial Mother has promised me that she will ask Imperial Father to let you leave the palace and go home."
This was supposed to be something to be happy about, but Kong Yu didn't get excited.
He only replied with a "Yes".
"What's wrong? Sister Yu, you don't want to leave the palace? "Jing Xuan asked, puzzled.
Of course she wanted to leave the palace, and she couldn't wait to leave.
But …
She knew what kind of person Concubine Xiao was.
Letting her leave the palace just like that?
Even a fool wouldn't believe it!
However, Kong Yu didn't want Jing Xuan to blame herself, so she smiled gently. "It's good to be able to leave the palace."
"Sister Yu, don't worry. Since Imperial Mother has promised me, she will definitely do it."
She had a look of complete trust!
In a good mood, she picked up a pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.
After being locked in the palace for the past few days, she had lost her appetite. Now that the stone in her heart had been lifted, her appetite naturally increased.
She ate with great relish.
