Chapter 242 I'm not with you(1/2)
Seeing that she refused to say it, Princess Qinglan held her hand and smiled, "Sometimes you are just too focused, but this is not good, it will affect your lifespan." Finally, she was obviously a little worried.
When Rong Jingqiu heard this, she was a little confused. Why was it related to Shousho? "I'm really afraid that you will dare to slut out of nothing."
When Princess Qinglan heard this, she heard the implication. Her eyes looked at the towering Fengming Palace behind her. It was related to the queen? After all, there were ears in the walls, and some words were indeed not suitable, and she understood instantly.
Rong Jingqiu didn't continue talking about this topic anymore. I hope she thought about it too much. She would rather be a villain than be a gentleman than fall into the trap of others. When she thought about it this way, her expression became serious.
Although she shouldn't think too much, she must be careful and deal with it carefully.
Princess Dora saw them whispering, but when she was turned aside, her face suddenly looked a little bad. They used to be around her, but now she has become the royal daughter-in-law of the Da'an Dynasty, but her status has plummeted.
Today, the Eastern Palace is decorated with lights and full of joy. Although it is a blessing from the concubine, it gives enough face to the Rong family of the Marquis of Dingyuan. Except for some of the ceremonies of the princes, it cannot be used, and the scale is comparable to the eighth prince who married his wife in the last time.
The arrival of Rong Jingqiu and the other two did not attract much attention. After all, which one here is not a royal relative? Anyone who can be called out can be named.
Zhao Yu has a very close relationship with the prince, and this time the bride is Rong Jingqiu's real sister, so he must help to greet the guests.
He saw Rong Jingqiu at a glance, and then whispered a few words to the people around him. The other party also looked at Rong Jingqiu, smiled, reached out to pat Zhao Yu on the shoulder, and then Zhao Yu walked towards Rong Jingqiu.
As soon as Rong Jingqiu entered here, she deliberately kept a distance from Princess Dora. Although she was at a loss when she saw Princess Dora not knowing people, she would definitely not be kind this time, so it would be better not to get too close to the two of them.
When she saw Zhao Yu coming, she stood still. Princess Qinglan shook at her, and Zhiqu got to go to someone else to talk to him. It was so almost that Rong Jingqiu had no time to catch her.
"Your Highness Nine." Seeing Zhao Yu approaching, she tugged and smiled, and saluted him.
Zhao Yu coughed lightly and signaled her to go to the side to talk. She knew how to walk with him to another place where there were not many people.
Zhao Yu then said, "Don't go around later, don't go to places with few people. I'll let Xiao Douzi come and serve you later, and let him follow you wherever you go."
Rong Jingqiu nodded. She was not arrogant. In this palace, her connections were limited. Who else could she listen to if she didn't listen to Zhao Yu? Thinking of this, she still pulled Zhao Yu's sleeve. Seeing him raise an eyebrow at her, she immediately raised her eyebrows. She was talking serious now, not to flirt with him.
Zhao Yu then put away his little thoughts and signaled her to speak.
Rong Jingqiu glanced at him, then secretly pointed at Princess Dora. At this moment, Princess Dora had found someone to talk to her, and seemed to be a little adapted, not as helpless as before.
Zhao Yu suddenly discovered that the color of the clothes that Princess Banbang was exactly the same as that of Rong Jingqiu. If you look from behind, you may recognize the wrong person if you don’t look carefully. He immediately narrowed his eyes, "The color of the clothes that the queen chose."
It hit the nail on the head.
Zhao Yu knew what kind of personality the queen was. He had been engaged to Rong Jingqiu for a while, and she had not done anything unusual. It seemed that she no longer planned to make a fuss about his marriage, but now it seemed that she was waiting for an opportunity, or she would do something tonight.
Thinking of this, he wanted to bring Rong Jingqiu to take care of her, but this was not realistic at all. Men and women were separated when they were held at wedding banquets. He had to be responsible for greeting the male guests here, and Rong Jingqiu had to get the female relatives in the backyard.
"Let Hongshang and Green Sweet accompany you together, or you can, pull Princess Dora up..."
Rong Jingqiu was stunned, "Why? I was afraid something might happen with her, so I deliberately stayed away from her. I didn't want to be affected by the fish."
After all, she didn't know what the Seventh Prince was going to do, so she would try not to get too close.
Wait, the Seventh Prince?
In the flash of lightning, she seemed to have figured out something.
Zhao Yu flicked her forehead at this time. When she felt pain, she immediately glared at him, reached out to rub the place where the bounced hurt, and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"See if you have become stupid?" Zhao Yu smiled innocently.
Rong Jingqiu cursed in anger, "You have become stupid." She also wanted to scold you, your whole family was stupid, but in the end she thought that his father was the emperor, so she stopped talking immediately to avoid being caught in the braid.
"You two will be easily targeted only if you are separated. As long as you are close, there will be some excuses that will be difficult to find." Zhao Yu looked at her annoyed and hurriedly spoke to divert her attention.
Sure enough, Rong Jingqiu stopped mentioning what had happened just now, but nodded in recognition, "I just thought so, don't worry, I'll go find her later..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw someone coming over and laughed and teased, "Isn't you getting married yet? I just got together and whispered. After getting married, wouldn't you become a conjoined baby?"
Rong Jingqiu saw the visitor at a glance, and she was busy and blessed, "I have met Your Highness the Eighth Highness."
"Miss Rong doesn't need to be too polite." The eighth prince waved.
However, the Eighth Prince's Concubine He grabbed Rong Jingqiu, "Ignore them, let's talk together and let the two brothers go."
He's brother He was engaged to Rong Jingsi and could also be considered in-laws with Rong Jingqiu. In addition, he was about the same age and was both a royal daughter-in-law, so he naturally wanted to have a good relationship with Rong Jingqiu.
Zhao Yu immediately saluted the Eighth Prince's Concubine He, "Eighth Sister-in-law, then she will be handed over to you."
He smiled and said, "Uncle Ninth does not need to be polite. Without you, I will not let my future ninth brother and sister down." Then he secretly pinched the eighth prince's arm and asked him to learn more from others.
The eighth prince was in pain and glared at her. He was as fierce as her and wouldn't he let her ride on his head and act as a mighty person?
When Rong Jingqiu saw the couple's little movements, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made He very embarrassed and hurriedly pulled her away.
The Eighth Prince said to Zhao Yu with the thoughts of those who have experienced it, "Mr. Confucius said, it is hard to raise women and villains. The ancients did not deceive me. Ninth brother, please be more at ease. Now you have been so kind to her before getting married. After getting married, be careful that she will ride on your head, and you will suffer from your suffering at that time."
When Zhao Yu saw his starling brother gritting his teeth, he joked, "Sister-in-law has given you a lot of trouble?"
"She dares?" The eighth prince said with wide eyes, unwilling to admit that his husband's principles were incorrect.
Zhao Yu touched his chin and said, "Why did I hear that you accidentally entered your concubine's room recently because you were drunk and threw it out of the door by your eighth sister-in-law. Brother, is there any such thing?"
The eighth prince's aroused anger immediately became dull. He still lives in the prince's office and is a neighbor with Zhao Yu. He may not have seen his jokes from other brothers. Zhao Yu saw them all. When he thought of this, he covered Zhao Yu's mouth and looked around. He didn't see other brothers there. Then he let go of Zhao Yu's mouth with confidence, and then warned, "Ninth brother, have I offended you? You can eat things randomly, but you can't talk nonsense..."
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I can guarantee that I won't talk nonsense. But for this matter, I'm not sure if I'm the only one I see."
So you should ask for blessings.
After saying that, he went to greet other guests, leaving the Eighth Prince there so angry that he jumped.
Rong Jingqiu, who was pulled away by the Eighth Princess Princess, took Princess Dora away, which made Princess Dora a bit flattered. After all, it was very difficult for her to deal with those whom she didn't know. She didn't understand what kind of thoughts these people were holding. Compared to this, Rong Jingqiu was more reliable.
After some introduction, she recognized the Eighth Princess as the bride who attended the wedding when she first came. Without heavy makeup, the Eighth Princess's appearance was much better than what she saw last time.
Everyone was about the same age and became familiar with each other. Princess Dora also talked more. She also asked Rong Jingqiu when her sister's sedan chair would arrive.
"It should be soon." Rong Jingqiu looked at the hourglass and stretched her neck out at the same time.
Because the Crown Princess Rong Jingchun passed away, the new Crown Princess was to be decided. When the ceremony was delivered, Rong Jingji did not have to offer tea to his wife, but this was saved. In addition, Rong Jingchun also came from Rong's family, so naturally no one would make a big fuss with the dead official family, which saved some embarrassment.
The Eighth Prince's Concubine He looked at Rong Jingqiu more. This relationship is embarrassing. In the future, the new crown princess will be in place. During the family banquets, some troubles may occur. As for whether Rong Jingji will climb to the throne of the crown princess, this is almost impossible.
If the queen valued Rong Jingji, she would not have given her only a concubine. This is obvious.
Rong Jingqiu is no longer surprised by such a sight. At least most of the royal women in the house will look at her subconsciously, but everyone is tacitly speaking, so she pretends not to see it.
The bride's wedding sedan chair was carried in. Compared to the wife's eight-carriage sedan chair, Rong Jingji only came in in a four-carriage sedan chair. Fortunately, the color was bright red, and it looked festive, and there was less embarrassment of taking a concubine.
The prince was dressed in red, and he cooperated with the relevant etiquette. Then he took out Rong Jingji from the wedding sedan chair and looked at the expression on his face, which made people feel happy. This did not make people understand what he was thinking.
There was no ceremony for the church. Rong Jingji calmly accepted this kind of concubine-taking ceremony. There was no joy on her face under the red veil. The wedding she had imagined had long been broken. The color of her life had turned black and white when she was carried out from her parents' home. She lived for her younger brother Rong Lu.
When she was sent into the bridal chamber, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally she didn't have to face the scenes that made her embarrassed.
As soon as she entered the wedding room arranged for her, she pulled the red veil off. The wedding girl shouted from the side. Rong Jingji just calmly threw the red veil aside, "It's better not to have a trick to deceive yourself."
So what about the etiquette of taking concubines with a super standard? After all, isn’t he a concubine?
The wedding lady wanted to say anything else, but when she saw the coldness on the bride's face, she finally stopped talking and didn't dare to say anything else.
There was no food in the room, so Rong Jingji calmly asked her maid to find the pastries she brought, and it was more important to fill her stomach first.
At this moment, a woman in gorgeous clothes walked in with a proud look surrounded by many people.
Rong Jingji looked up and saw that she was a woman in her twenties. No need to guess, she already knew who was coming, but the two of them had the same grade, so she didn't plan to get up to greet her.
"Miss Rong Liu is so calm. Let's see, what does it look like?" Concubine Qi stepped forward and pinched Rong Jingji's chin without hesitation, forcing her to raise her head.
Rong Jingji slapped her hand without hesitation, "Please respect yourself, I am not a cat or a dog and bully you."
Concubine Qi looked at her hand that was being slapped red and was so angry that she clenched her silver teeth, "What's so great? Isn't it just a concubine?"
"I'll send this back to Concubine Qi." Rong Jingji retorted insults, "If you treat me as an enemy, then you will be helpless. If you want to become the crown princess, it will be useless to put your strength on me."
Of course, Concubine Qi knew that Rong Jingji could not help her ascend to the throne of the Crown Princess, but she was so angry that she was jealous of Rong Jingji's youthful beauty. Seeing such a newcomer entering the East Palace, she was afraid that she would become yesterday's yellow flower.
Especially now when she saw Rong Jingji's calm face, her hands couldn't help but clench her hands. How could she be so calm?
Seeing this, the nanny beside her hurriedly pulled her and whispered, "Personal concubine, it's not worth getting angry at this moment. Don't forget why we came?"
Of course, Concubine Qi knew that she touched her lower abdomen and had taken the wise medicine. She heard that Rong Jingqiu was cured by the famous doctor in Jiangnan, and she couldn't help but feel ready. If this person could be asked to treat her, wouldn't she have a son and a half of her daughter?
Only with children can life have hope, and she will not be afraid of her sister Qi Aoer picking peaches in the future. The child is her amulet.
Siyi, she put away her concubine's face, and sat on the chair the maid brought to her face, facing Rong Jingji, who was sitting on the bed of the joy.
Rong Jingji has never talked much. Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, she didn't urge her. When she saw the maid bringing the pastry, she took it and started eating it in a small mouthful.
Concubine Qi waited for a long time, but could not see Rong Jingji say a word. She just kept burying her head and was really unhappy to be left aside. She couldn't help but say angrily, "Are you a pig? You just know how to eat."
Rong Jingji looked up and glanced at her. It turned out that you didn’t have to eat? Then why don’t you go and drink the northwest wind quickly.
Concubine Qi suddenly saw what she meant by this glance, and suddenly became angry. What happened to this Rong girl? She was not old and she was quite choking.
"Person, let's do the business quickly. The prince will turn around later. I'm afraid I'll be unhappy when I see you here." The nanny reminded again.
Concubine Qi didn't want to meet the prince, so she held back her anger and waited for Rong Jingji to finish her pastry and waited for her to clean up her hands and start drinking tea. Then she said, "You and I are in the same situation. When the new crown princess takes office in the future, you and I will be thorns in her eyes. Since that's the case, why don't we unite to deal with her?"
Rong Jingji was not surprised that the concubine Qi came to her to form an alliance, and even couldn't wait to come to her today, afraid that she would give her a warning before and mention the unity, so that she could gain the upper hand. These little thoughts only made her feel ridiculous.
She shook her head, "What did I enter the Eastern Palace? Concubine Qi knew in her heart that I would not interfere with your favor competition, taking care of the emperor's grandson is my main task." Finally, she raised her head and looked at Concubine Qi, "You and I are not the same person, and my appeal is different. Sorry, I will not work with you to deal with anyone."
Concubine Qi was immediately angry. She stood up in anger and pointed at Rong Jingji and said, "Are you a fool? What are you worried about other people's children? Women can rely on their own flesh and blood," then suddenly realized, "Are you playing hard to get? Let me tell you, Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't eat your trick..."
"What does it have to do with me if your prince believes it or not?" Rong Jingji interrupted her, "I just need to do my part, and I believe that your prince will not make things difficult for me."
Concubine Qi thought about it for a long time, but she never expected that Rong Jingji would have this kind of personality. After all, she is an old man from the East Palace. In addition, she is much older, so she will definitely win over the little girl. In the future, she will use her to test the details of the new crown princess. If she operates well, she may even be able to pull the new crown princess off.
