The next day, Tian Guang Xiwei and Jiang Nianjiao got up early.
A detailed talk with Zhao Yanzhen last night had completely changed her depressed attitude when she first entered the palace.
When they arrived at Fengchen Palace, the only person who came to greet him was a young and unfamiliar maid.
Because every morning, all the concubines and concubines of the palace would come to Queen Min to calm down in the morning and dusk. Therefore, when Jiang Nianjiao came over, it was the first time she saw these beauties in the harem.
When Jiang Nianjiao was looking at them, their eyes naturally fell on Jiang Nianjiao with a vagueness.
The women in this harem may know nothing about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but they are very aware of the trivial matters in this harem.
After Zhang Guifei's accident, Concubine Yuxian returned to favor. Although Concubine Yuxian had a temperament that did not form alliances with others, there were still many low-ranking concubines who came to her.
Among the young and beautiful low-ranking concubines, one of them was about the same age as Concubine Yuxian. However, the palace concubine, who had a sallow complexion and a fat body, was particularly eye-catching.
The woman only took the initiative to greet Concubine Yuxian. Her loud voice and greeting only made everyone around her look at her and chuckle at her rude behavior, but she herself seemed unaware of it.
Before Concubine Yuxian could even exchange a few polite words with her, she took the initiative and spoke to Ruohong Zhong, "Concubine Xian, we haven't seen each other for a while. Are your illnesses cured? If not, I think it's okay." You don’t have to come over to invite me. Anyway, the emperor is considerate of you. Running back and forth like this will not be good if you get sick again."
Hearing what she said, Jiang Nianjiao always felt that she was being arrogant, but Concubine Yuxian showed no annoyance on her face and said, "Thank you, Sister Miaobi, for your concern. Fortunately, my illness is not serious now. Besides, the Holy One is considerate of me. The empress is generous and doesn't care about me. That's the kindness they gave me, but I can't use this kindness as a privilege. My sister said I am not justified in what I said."
After hearing what she said, the concubine seemed to find it too convoluted. She just said, "Why does this involve privileges? Isn't this a detailed analysis of specific matters?"
This concubine was obviously very dissatisfied with what Concubine Yu Xian said. If Jiang Nianjiao just thought that this person was very scheming and had hidden secrets in her words, now she only suspected that the other party could not speak at all.
Concubine Yu Xian didn't want to argue too much with Miao Concubine. She just said softly, "Miao Concubine, let's not argue here. Let's go see the empress first."
Miao Bi was about to respond, but then his eyes fell on Jiang Nianjiao again.
Jiang Nianjiao felt something was wrong as soon as her eyes met.
Sure enough, as soon as she saw Jiang Nianjiao, she also said hello, "Is this your little niece who is having an affair with the Queen? She has a pretty face, right?"
Hearing her unbuttoned greeting, Jiang Nianjiao felt like she was vomiting three liters of blood.
And her voice was not quiet. She was exposed in front of her face on the palace road where people were coming and going. What kind of social death scene was this?
After hearing her words, the concubine couldn't help but snickered again.
Even Concubine Yu Xian, who was relatively gentle to her, could not help but frown and solemnly said to Miaobin, "Sister Miaobin, the rumors between my niece and the Third Highness are just rumors. It would be better for you not to take them seriously. "
However, Miao Bi didn't take it seriously and said, "What are the rumors? Didn't it say that she was caught by someone? Why should I be so nervous? It's a good thing that someone is chasing her. It means that my daughter is excellent. If I were you, it would be too late for me to be happy."
Then, in order to prove that she was really praising Jiang Nianjiao, she pointed to the concubines who were just watching the joke and said, "Look at them, they have been in the palace for many years, let alone being pursued by others, they are a bit People can't even see the emperor, if I were them I should cry."
This wonderful concubine is really a wonderful person, and her words only offended the whole audience.
The person who just saw the joke no longer saw the joke. Hearing her words, Youxin arrogantly just snorted softly, then flicked his sleeves and walked away. The rest quickly followed.
Concubine Yu Xian obviously did not want to talk to this wonderful concubine. However, this concubine did not flirt with Concubine Yu Xian. At this time, she only pulled Jiang Nianjiao and looked at her carefully. She looked and praised her like a butcher studying. Where should you cut a piece of fat?
"But little girl, you are good-looking. Don't just be good-looking. We women have to give birth to children first. Look at your small body. From now on,
Giving birth to a child will definitely involve a lot of hardships. Listen to my advice, you must not make yourself so thin just to pursue good looks. "
Jiang Nianjiao had never seen such a bold and familiar person before, and being stared at at this moment felt like a thorn in her back.
In the end, a palace official from Fengchen Palace came out to relieve the situation. "Ms. Xian Fei, Miao Bi, the empress has invited you in her room."
Only then did Miaobin stop talking.
Because Jiang Nianjiao was not a palace concubine after all, when the palace concubines paid their respects, Jiang Nianjiao was only invited to a side hall.
Unexpectedly, when she followed the maids to the side hall, Chen Jinghuai was also there.
The two of them were a little surprised when they suddenly wanted to meet each other.
The little palace maid who led her here quickly left after sending Jiang Nianjiao to the location. Even before leaving, the little palace maid did not forget to close the door for the two of them very thoughtfully.
They seem to think that if this is the case, the two of them can make fire and reunite.
However, they obviously still underestimated the determination of these two people.
Chen Jinghuai was obviously a little embarrassed. While sitting in the seat next to him, he couldn't help but secretly look at Jiang Nianjiao, but he couldn't say a word.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't speak at this time.
The two of them sat in the hall.
It wasn't until Queen Min and her aunt appeared at the same time that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Queen Min and Concubine Yuxian were talking and laughing before they came in, but they found that the two children in the room had zero communication throughout the whole process, and they were all in bad ways.
Queen Min's face turned a little cold.
She glared at Chen Jinghuai and said, "Huai'er, what are you doing here? Are you turning a deaf ear to what my aunt told you last night?"
After listening to Queen Min's words, Concubine Yu Xian also winked at Jiang Nianjiao.
Jiang Nianjiao knew that Concubine Yuxian wanted her to apologize to Chen Jinghuai.
Naturally, she did not intend to cooperate with Concubine Yuxian at this time, and Chen Jinghuai obviously had the same idea as her.
Before Jiang Nianjiao opened her mouth, Chen Jinghuai reacted first.
He only made a thump and knelt down in the direction of Queen Min.
Queen Min was shocked by his kneeling down. She asked Chen Jinghuai to say a few symbolic words to appease Jiang Nianjiao and apologize for breaking off the engagement so impulsively.
But she didn't ask him to perform such a big salute, and he was obviously kneeling in the wrong direction.
"What are you doing?" Queen Min asked to help him up.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Jinghuai went to help her, he suddenly put his head on his knees and said, "Queen, my nephew knows that you mentioned this marriage to my nephew, so naturally I think highly of my nephew. The Jiang family is indeed a high-ranking family. I am very grateful for this.”
"My nephew has no intention of blaming anyone for what happened to Miss Jiang. It's just that my nephew really can't pass the threshold in his heart. I would also like to ask the queen to fulfill my nephew's wish. Let Miss Jiang and I break off our engagement, and we can live well in the future." .”
Hearing his words, Concubine Yuxian's face turned pale. Even though she wanted to bring Jiang Nianjiao and Chen Jinghuai together, Chen Jinghuai's words were so clear that she naturally didn't have to drag her niece and others to apologize. reason.
Queen Min was obviously very angry at his words. If she hadn't been concerned that the occasion was inappropriate, she might have started to accuse him.
"The rumors between Miss Jiang and my son are all nonsense. How can you believe those words."
Chen Jinghuai remained silent. He seemed to have made up his mind to break off the engagement. No matter how much Empress Min tried to persuade him, he would always act like he had made up his mind. .
Chen Jinghuai's breakup of the engagement caused such a big fuss, so Queen Min was naturally not in a position to buy or sell by force.
She had no choice but to look at Jiang Nianjiao again. She seemed to be counting on Jiang Nianjiao to convince Chen Jinghuai. However, when she herself could not convince anyone, how could Jiang Nianjiao, an outsider, change Chen Jinghuai's opinion of her.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao just didn't know when Empress Min looked at her several times.
In the end, Queen Min could only ask simply, "Jiaojiao, don't you have nothing to say about this matter?"
After being directly named by Queen Min, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore. She stood up, but did not follow Chen Jinghuai's example and kneel down towards Queen Min or Concubine Yuxian.
she looked
Chen Jinghuai actually seemed to have a bit of regret in his eyes.
"Colonel Chen, it is really not my fault that you have suffered so much during this time. I would like to apologize to you."
When he heard her sincere apology, not to mention anyone else, even Chen Jinghuai couldn't help but look up at him, his eyes obviously full of confusion.
He had not forgotten her resolute look when she confessed everything to him that day.
Why is she starting to apologize to herself now? Could it be that she still misses her a little bit in her heart.
But he hasn't had time to decide whether to accept Jiang Nianjiao.
Jiang Nianjiao's next words shattered all illusions.
"But as Captain Chen said, since neither of us has any intention of maintaining this marriage, I also want to ask the Queen to take it back."
For some reason, Chen Jinghuai, who should have breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, only felt a lump in his throat.
However, he still echoed Jiang Nianjiao's words and said, "Please take back your life and terminate the engagement between the two of us."
After receiving such a unanimous reply from the two of them, Queen Min's face became a little ugly.
But she didn't have a seizure. She only said, "I originally thought that you two were a match made in heaven. If it could happen, it would be perfect. I didn't ask you two what you meant at that time. You both knew it at the time." It's because the man is in love with his concubine. Everything was fine before, but now why can't he even recognize such rumors?"
Then she added, "Forget it, I will no longer care about this matter. I will go to His Highness in a few days to ask for an order and let him make the decision."
Chen Jinghuai and Jiang Nianjiao originally thought that Queen Min would not be so easy to persuade, but today Queen Min only scolded her a few times before agreeing to the request.
Both of them were a little surprised for a moment.
