Ji Muqing
How could Ji Muqing be the Empress?
Concubine Xiao would never take a woman like that into her eyes.
"From the very beginning, this seat never intended for Ji Muqing to be Prince Yi's Consort."
Minister Liang asked, "Then why did Your Ladyship …"
"Minister Liang should know that the Ji family has Ji Li and Ji Huan, two men with great military power. If we can make use of them and help Prince Yi ascend the throne, then what's wrong with marrying her as Prince Yi's consort? But how could that woman be the Empress? She's not even comparable to a common girl. "
She spoke harshly.
That woman had neither virtue nor talent. Concubine Xiao was an arrogant person who thought highly of herself. How could she possibly be interested in a woman like Ji Muqing?
Pfft!
She wasn't even qualified to be her foot-washing maid.
Hearing this, Minister Liang finally understood. His voice trembled as he said, "So, Your Ladyship wasn't trying to seek justice for my daughter, but to let Prince Yi marry Miss Ji and win the Ji brothers over to the throne."
"That's right, that's indeed the case."
Minister Liang's head was full of wrinkles.
The resentment in his heart burst forth from his eyes, scarlet like fire. It was one thing for the culprit to get away with his daughter's tragic death, but now she was Prince Yi's Consort. Just thinking about it made him want to annihilate the entire Ji family.
Concubine Xiao could see his unwillingness. She got up and walked over, speaking slowly, "Minister Liang, listen to this seat. Although she is Prince Yi's Consort, when Prince Yi ascends to the throne with the Ji brothers' help, she will no longer have any value and will become a pawn that can be discarded at any time. She can forget about becoming the Empress. At that time, she will either be banished to the Cold Palace or tortured to death for the rest of her life. Only by slowly torturing her like this can she truly avenge Xu 'er."
She smiled sinisterly as she spoke.
"Moreover, she won't have an easy life after marrying into Prince Yi's household. Who knows, she might die before Prince Yi ascends to the throne." She curled her red lips. "This seat heard that Minister Liang has a niece who is as beautiful as a flower and bears some resemblance to Xu 'er."
Eh?
"Why would Your Ladyship mention Luo Li?"
"Oh? Her name is Luo Li? Her name is really pleasant to the ears. She really lives up to her name. This consort has also heard that she is proficient in the four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is gentle, virtuous, and graceful. Currently, she is still unmarried. "
This means …
Minister Liang seemed to understand, and his brows furrowed imperceptibly.
Concubine Xiao continued, "Such a woman is rare in this world. A true Empress should be like this. When the time is right, I guarantee that your niece, Luo Li, will be the best candidate for Motherland."
Wow, what a big pie.
Minister Liang was initially furious, but now, his anger had somewhat subsided.
However, he was still skeptical.
"Is what Her Highness said true?"
"This consort's every word is true, so Minister Liang can rest assured. As long as the Ji family helps Prince Yi ascend the throne, the Ji family will be nothing more than a pile of useless trash that can be discarded at any time. At that time, this consort will allow Prince Yi to marry Luo Li and make her his Empress. Your Liang family will then be a relative of the Imperial Family."
A relative of the Emperor!
These four words smashed towards Minister Liang like they were filled with power.
He was dizzy from the impact.
Concubine Xiao struck while the iron was hot. "This is this consort's promise. I will never go back on my word."
Minister Liang deliberated in his heart. Finally, he gritted his teeth and bowed. "Very well, this subject will believe Her Highness."
"A wise man submits to circumstances. Minister Liang, you will not be disappointed. In the future, the Liang family will surely soar."
What else could he say?
This big pie had already knocked him out.
Concubine Xiao continued, "But regarding Gao Bingze, Minister Liang, you must not speak of it, lest … unnecessary trouble."
He cupped his hands. "This subject will not divulge a single word."
Concubine Xiao smiled and turned back to her seat.
"The day that Miss Ji gets married will be the beginning of her nightmare."
Her sinister laughter reverberated in the main hall.
… …
The next day, Prince Yi's wedding.
The entire Prince Yi's Estate was in a festive mood. Red satin, red lanterns, and red candlesticks were hung everywhere …
Early in the morning, the threshold of Prince Yi's Estate was trampled by people. All the officials of the Imperial Court had come, as well as many of the nobility's descendants.
There was an endless stream of congratulations, and the sound of firecrackers was incessant.
Even the congratulatory gifts were piled up in several rooms.
Early in the morning, the bridal procession set off from Prince Yi's Estate towards the General's Estate.
At this time, Ji Muqing was still in her room dressing up. She wore a bright red wedding gown embroidered with lifelike mandarin ducks. Not a single piece of gold or silver jewelry was missing.
She held a red lipstick in her hand. Her lips were slightly pursed, a fiery crimson that complemented her wedding gown.
Her makeup was exquisite, her almond-shaped eyes bright, and her eyebrows thin like willows …
She was a beauty!
The hairpin and jade pendant in her hair were particularly eye-catching, but it didn't seem exaggerated. Instead, it was full of nobility.
She sat quietly in front of her dressing table, waiting for her husband to take the wedding.
For some reason, Ji Muqing had treated Ji Wanxin exceptionally well these past two days. She had given her many gifts from the Emperor, and on the day of her wedding, she had even asked Ji Wanxin to help her dress.
Ji Wanxin inserted the last hairpin into Ji Muqing's hair. Looking at her exquisite reflection in the mirror, she smiled and praised.
"Big Sister is so beautiful today."
Sister, don't you feel hurt?
Ji Muqing smiled shyly, then frowned, "Wanxin, am I a little nervous now?"
"There will be a matchmaker to guide you later. Just follow her."
"Mn."
At this time …
A voice came from outside, "The auspicious hour is here."
A manservant ran in, panting. "Miss, the bride of Prince Yi's estate is already at the door. Old Master told me to tell you that you have to hurry to the flower bridge to avoid delaying the auspicious hour."
Hearing this, all the maids in the room began to panic. They hurriedly pulled the bride up, put some 'messy' things on her, and stuffed a bright red apple into her hand.
Then …
She covered her head with a handkerchief!
She was married.
Ji Shuhan and the others were standing at the main entrance.
When he saw his daughter coming out in a bright red wedding gown, his eyes immediately turned red.
He instructed, "Be careful when you go to Prince Yi's estate."
Ji Muqing nodded.
The bride couldn't speak.
Ji Shuhan held back his tears and personally sent his daughter to the bride. As he watched the bride leave, he secretly wiped away his tears.
Ji Li, on the other hand, had a troubled look on his face.
When Ji Shuhan saw him, he immediately reprimanded him. "Today is your little sister's big day, but as the big brother, you still have a gloomy look on your face. If someone were to see you like this, they would think that something big has happened to our Ji family."
The person Ji Li respected the most in his life was Ji Shuhan.
He lowered his head and said, "This child knows his mistake. “
"Alright, go in."
