Mother of the Nation
Even though Qi Zhen Emperor had purposely come to meet him by chance, he could not afford to be rude.
After all, they had shared the same bed for many years.
Ji Muqing stood there with a smile on her face.
"No need to stand on ceremony," Qi Zhen Emperor said.
The palace servants hurriedly brought a chair over.
As soon as she sat down, Concubine Xiao took her hand and asked with concern, "How have you been lately?"
"This commoner is very good. When I was at home, my two brothers also loved me very much."
"If you feel bored, you can come to the palace at any time to accompany me."
"Yes, it is this commoner's good fortune to be able to speak with Your Highness."
"What a sensible girl."
F * ck!
Could you not speak in such a disgusting manner?
Qi Zhen Emperor glanced at the two of them and took a sip of tea. He really didn't know what to say, so he casually asked, "Is Miss Ji feeling better?"
Ji Muqing replied softly, "Many thanks for Your Majesty's concern. This humble girl's body is much better now. There are no more major problems."
"That's good. If you are bored staying in the General's Mansion,
We grant you permission to enter the palace at any time. "
"Thank you, your majesty."
Ji Muqing was overjoyed.
When Concubine Xiao heard Qi Zhen Emperor's words, she wanted to seize the opportunity to mention it.
"Your Majesty, Miss Ji is gentle and virtuous. She has grown up to be so generous. She has the demeanor of an imperial family member."
"Yes."
"This concubine thinks …"
Before he could finish, Qi Zhen Emperor abruptly stood up.
Seeing this, Concubine Xiao hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty? What are you doing? "
"I'm a little tired. I'll return to my chambers first. Concubine Xiao, take good care of Miss Ji."
Concubine Xiao's heart tightened, but she could only agree.
After Qi Zhen Emperor left.
Ji Muqing asked worriedly, "Your Ladyship, is His Majesty dissatisfied with me? What about the matter between Prince Yi and me? "
"Muqing, this consort has said before that I will definitely find a way to marry Yi 'er. You are the consort that this consort has chosen. Other than you, no one else can become Prince Yi's consort." Concubine Xiao held her hand and gently patted it a few times.
Ji Muqing's eyes lit up as if she had just picked up a big bag of gold and silver.
She gritted her teeth in determination. Even if she couldn't be the Crown Prince's Consort, she had to be Prince Yi's Consort. When Prince Yi became the Crown Prince and then the Emperor, then she would be the Empress.
Thinking of this, she was filled with joy.
Little did they know that Concubine Xiao's heart was sinking.
She had seen Qi Zhen Emperor's expression just now. His Majesty was obviously avoiding it.
Everyone knew that marrying Ji Muqing was equivalent to roping in the entire Ji Clan.
If Jing Yi were to marry her, it would be the same as securing the position of Crown Prince. More importantly, it would mean that the throne was already in his grasp.
At that time, no one would be able to contend against Jing Yi's forces!
But Qizhen Emperor's attitude …
Concubine Xiao was also puzzled.
Ji Muqing didn't think too much about it. In any case, Concubine Xiao had drawn a big pie for her. All she had to do was open her mouth and take a bite.
Who cares about the consequences!
"Your Highness, I heard that the princess is about to get married?"
"Yeah."
"The Princess is so lucky to be able to marry the Third Prince of Huyi. In the future, when the Third Prince ascends the throne, he will be the King of Huyi, and the Princess will be the Queen."
Concubine Xiao's heart leaped with joy at her words.
"When you marry Yi 'er and become Prince Yi's Consort, Jing Lai can also be a motherly model to the world."
Motherly model to the world, with a phoenix crown and red robe!
Ji Muqing's eyes were filled with a thirst for power.
The position of Empress was hers for sure.
She chatted with Concubine Xiao for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she left the palace and returned to the residence.
But just as she entered, she was called over by Ji Li and Ji Huan.
The two sat in the hall with solemn expressions, looking up and down at Ji Muqing, who stood in the middle as if being interrogated.
The seriousness in Ji Li's eyes deepened when he saw the makeup she was wearing.
"You went to the palace?"
Ji Muqing didn't realize that something was wrong. Instead, she happily said, "Yes, Her Highness Concubine Xiao summoned me to the palace."
"What did she say to you?"
"What else could she say? Just a casual chat and a few casual greetings. "
"Bang!"
Ji Li's face was filled with rage as he slammed his palm on the table.
Ji Muqing was immediately frightened. Her body shrank back as she looked at her own brother with a horrified expression.
Her lips trembled for a while. "Big Brother, you … what's wrong?"
"You still won't tell me the truth?"
"I …" She bit her lip, her eyes wavering.
The truth?
What truth?
Ji Li was playing the bad cop, so Ji Huan was really going to play the bad cop. He lowered his voice slightly, "Muqing, there are no outsiders here. Tell me the truth. What did Her Highness Concubine Xiao summon you to the palace for?"
"…"
"Speak."
She was frightened. After a long while of apprehension, she finally said, "Her Highness Concubine Xiao said that she … had already suggested to His Majesty to let Prince Yi marry me and make me Prince Yi's Consort."
Ah!
Ji Li and Ji Huan were shocked.
They looked at each other.
"You're saying that Concubine Xiao asked His Majesty to make you Prince Yi's Consort?"
She nodded, not daring to make a sound.
Ji Li's expression was extremely ugly. He seemed to have thought of something as he stood up and walked in front of her. He stared at her lowered eyes and questioned, "Tell me, what happened during the few days you were participating in the selection in the imperial palace? You prepared for so many years for the selection. How could you be so careless as to contract an illness? After you hurriedly returned to the residence, you didn't make a fuss. Tell me, are you hiding something from Big Brother? "
"I … no!"
She was obviously not confident.
"Are you still not willing to speak? Now that the Crown Prince is dead, what else do you have to hide? "
She didn't dare to raise her head and retreated.
Ji Li continued to press, "Tell me."
She was forced into a corner.
Raising her stubborn face, she said, "Alright, don't ask anymore. Nothing happened during those few days. I couldn't help it when I got sick and couldn't participate in the selection. Do you want me to cry, throw a tantrum, and threaten to hang myself? Also, Her Highness Concubine Xiao likes me and wants me to be Prince Yi's Consort. She thinks highly of me and the Ji family. You're my Big Brother, shouldn't you be happy for me? As long as I become Prince Yi's Consort, when Prince Yi becomes the Emperor, I will be the Empress of the Empire. In the future, I will be the Empress of the world. "
"You …"
Ji Li raised his hand and was about to slap her, but was stopped by Ji Huan.
"Big Brother, don't be too rash," Ji Li advised.
Ji Muqing's eyes reddened as she looked at the hand that had been caught in midair. She stared at her brother in disbelief.
"Why? What did I do wrong? Ever since I was young, Father and Grandmother always told me that when I grew up, they would send me to the capital and I would become the Crown Prince's Consort and Empress. But that useless Crown Prince died. I was lucky that I didn't marry him. Now that Prince Yi is in power, if I marry him and become Prince Yi's Consort, I will still be the Crown Prince's Consort and Empress. It's fine if you're not happy for me, but you still want to hit me? "
Aggrieved!
She cried like a pear blossom in the rain.
Ji Li suppressed the anger in his heart and solemnly told her.
