Chen Xiang and Chen Xiang
Just after they left.
Jing Xuan said to Concubine Xiao apologetically, "Imperial Mother, I didn't mean it. When the bracelet is repaired, I will send it to Imperial Sister-in-law."
"What do you think?"
Huh?
"What?"
"Previously … you still …"
Concubine Xiao didn't throw out the words directly.
Jing Xuan pursed her lips, sighed, and said, "After these two days, I also understand that we are a family. No matter what, I should be on your side. How can I help outsiders to deal with Imperial Mother and Imperial Brother? In the end, I still have to suffer. "
"You really understand?" Concubine Xiao looked at her.
She nodded vigorously, "Of course, Imperial Mother treats me so well, but I always go against Imperial Mother. Now that I know I was wrong, I will listen to Imperial Mother, take good care of my body, and marry to Huyi in a few days. But when that time comes, it will be difficult for me to see Imperial Mother. So, I don't know if it's too late to admit my mistake and repair the relationship between us. Before, I said a lot of things to hurt Imperial Mother, but I didn't mean it. I blame myself for being too stubborn and mistaking Imperial Mother's good intentions. Thinking about it, I feel that I shouldn't have done it, and I feel extremely vexed. Imperial Mother, please forgive Xuan 'er. Xuan' er takes back all the words I said before. "
There were tears in her eyes.
Her attitude was also very sincere.
Concubine Xiao touched her face, "It's good that you can understand. You must wait until you suffer before you know how good Imperial Mother is."
"Daughter will listen to Imperial Mother in the future."
"You little girl." She lightly tapped Jing Xuan's forehead.
The relationship between mother and daughter finally eased up.
But Concubine Xiao repeatedly reminded her, "Xuan 'er, you can't go see that fool now, understand?"
She readily agreed, "I won't go. He's an idiot. This daughter won't go see him again. It's just that this daughter doesn't understand why Lady Mother brought that idiot into the palace and locked him up."
Concubine Xiao patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't ask too much about this. In any case, don't go see him again."
"Okay."
Very obedient!
Jing Xuan rested her head on her arm and said, "Imperial Mother, why don't I help you rest today?"
"You?"
"I'll leave after Imperial Mother has fallen asleep."
Concubine Xiao did not reject his sincere intentions.
He agreed.
After returning to her room, Jing Xuan removed the accessories on Concubine Xiao's head one by one. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "Right, Imperial Mother, Daughter has a piece of good incense here. If I throw it into the incense burner, it will help Imperial Mother sleep more peacefully."
"Oh? What fragrance? "
"I dried it myself. I wanted to give it to Imperial Mother a long time ago, but I forgot about it."
"Bring it over and let Imperial Mother smell it."
"Alright."
Jing Xuan ordered someone to bring over the incense she had prepared.
Concubine Xiao placed it under her nose and sniffed. "Mmm, it's quite fragrant."
"Then I will throw the incense in."
He nodded.
She cut a small piece and threw it into the incense burner. After Concubine Xiao lay down on the bed to rest, she placed the incense burner by the bedside.
White mist came out from the top of the incense burner, and the whole room was filled with a light and inexplicable fragrance.
"Then I won't disturb Imperial Mother's rest."
"Yes."
Concubine Xiao fell asleep.
Jing Xuan also quietly retreated from the room.
The moment the door closed, that innocent smiling face slowly turned gloomy and cold.
She called over a maid who lit the incense for Concubine Xiao every day and gave her the remaining pieces of incense in her hand.
"Imperial Mother said that she likes this kind of incense very much. From now on, light it every night without stopping and place it by the bedside. Do you understand?"
The little palace maid nodded. "Yes."
Jing Xuan turned back to look at the door. Her gaze seemed to penetrate it and fell straight on Concubine Xiao, who was lying on the bed.
After a long time …
She turned around and walked out, her back straight as she walked forward step by step.
Her eyes were red and glistening with tears.
She hated it!
She wished she could take that woman's life right now!
But there was no rush. Take it slow, take it slow …
… …
On the way back from the Imperial Palace to Prince Yi's Estate, Chen Xiang and Ji Muqing sat face to face in the carriage.
After a long time …
Ji Muqing sneered and said, "Serves her right!"
"What do you mean, Younger Sister?"
"You think you can be so smug just because you chose a good bracelet? Fortunately, evil has its comeuppance. Even the heavens aren't on your side. Serves her right that the bracelet was broken."
"You're not much better than me. None of your hairpins have been broken before."
"You …" Ji Muqing thought for a moment. Her status was much higher than this person in front of her. It would be beneath her to bicker with her. She smiled and said, "This consort is magnanimous and won't bicker with people like you."
Pfft!
Chen Xiang felt too aggrieved. She had a pretty face. So what if she was favored by His Highness? In the end, she was just a chess piece, a worthless chess piece. Just like Jing Yi said, as long as she was no longer needed, she could be sacrificed at any time.
Her heart was filled with anger at the thought.
But suddenly, she felt an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach.
She retched.
Ji Muqing immediately jumped away. "What's wrong with you? I didn't hit you, nor did I scold you. Don't try to frame His Highness. "
Chen Xiang didn't respond and continued to retch.
It was as if she had eaten too much!
Ji Muqing was extremely disgusted. She quickly opened the carriage curtains and stuck her head out.
After a short while, Chen Xiang finally felt a little better. She pressed her chest, panting heavily.
However …
She was smiling!
Smiling brilliantly!
When she returned to Prince Yi's estate, she ordered for a physician.
After the physician took her pulse, he hurriedly congratulated, "Congratulations to the Side Consort for being pregnant."
Chen Xiang's eyes widened in surprise. "Physician, is it true? This consort is really pregnant? "
"This old man has been diagnosing for many years. There's no way I'm wrong. According to the Side Consort's pulse, it's a little heir."
"Little heir?" Chen Xiang was overjoyed. She rubbed her not-yet-pregnant belly. "It's a little heir. That's great!"
She finally had a chance to turn things around!
As long as she gave birth to this child, the position of Princess Consort would be hers sooner or later. The position of Empress would also be hers.
All the maids in the room knelt down. "Congratulations to the Side Consort for being pregnant with a little heir."
She hurriedly ordered, "Quick, quickly inform His Highness."
"Yes!"
The maids hurried off.
When Jing Yi heard that Chen Xiang was pregnant, he immediately tossed aside the books in his hands and rushed over. The moment he entered the room, he saw Chen Xiang getting up. Just as she was about to bow, Jing Yi stepped forward to support her.
"There's no need to be so courteous. You're pregnant now. Sit properly." Jing Yi couldn't conceal his excitement.
The child in her belly was the crown prince he was going to confer.
