Chapter 250 Wishful Thinking
"Don't let this matter get out. If I find out that my father and mother know about this, don't blame me for being rude."
"Your Highness, please calm down. I will keep my mouth shut." Doctor Fang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and wished he could escape from here immediately.
Pei Yan's eyes moved slightly.
She thought that Jiang Hong would divorce her or take a concubine immediately after knowing that she was infertile, but she never expected that the first thing he said was to cover up for himself.
She bit her lip, and after the imperial physician left, she stepped into the hall.
Jiang Hong was a little surprised to see her: "Why did you think of coming here today?"
He wanted to help Pei Yan, but she avoided him without leaving a trace.
"The Queen Mother wants you to take a concubine."
Pei Yan told Jiang Hong what the queen said straightforwardly.
Jiang Hong didn't say anything for a long while, just staring at her, his face unable to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Is it the Queen Mother who wants to do this, or is it you who wants to do this?"
Pei Yan stopped talking and stared back at him quietly, like a beautiful but hollow doll.
"Good, good, good."
Jiang Hong felt something explode in his chest, and his bloody internal organs flew everywhere. He smiled and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will do as you wish."
"Come here, send the Crown Princess back. I am going to take a concubine soon, and I don't want to see the Crown Princess for the time being."
The palace maids all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
Judging from the current situation, is it possible that the Crown Princess is going to fall out of favor?
The cold wind brought the chilly moonlight into the room, changing the night into a glazed fire and the endless sky.
……
The sky is bright as snow, and the clouds are so peaceful that people feel like they are in the clouds.
To be exact, it was in a pile of clothes as soft as a cloud.
Early this morning, thinking that Yun Shuning's birthday was approaching, Song Rao dragged her to the street to buy new clothes. Yun Shuning didn't want to refuse Song Rao's kindness, so she went with her.
Song Rao visited several shops along the way and tried many clothes, but she didn't find anything she liked until she entered the last cloth shop, where a graceful young woman walked out.
She smiled with curved eyebrows and was about to greet the guest, but when she looked up and saw Song Rao's face, she was stunned, and then a look of joy appeared: "Arao, it's really you!"
Song Rao was also obviously surprised: "Cheng Yue, how did you start a cloth shop business?"
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Not long after you left Beijing, I married a merchant and now I am learning how to do business."
Obviously, Song Rao and Cheng Yue are old acquaintances.
Seeing that the two were chatting enthusiastically, Yun Shuning simply gave them some time to spend together, and then turned around and went out to buy some cakes so that she could take them back home.
With this in mind, she went straight to the most famous Fu Ji pastry shop in Yanjing, and waited for a long time before it was finally her turn.
Yun Shuning was holding the osmanthus cake and was feeling very happy. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, she met two familiar faces.
Zhou Yuan and Lin Rouan.
Life is really... we meet each other everywhere.
Yun Shuning ignored him and was about to leave, but was stopped by a voice calling "Miss Yun".
Zhou Yuan looked Yun Shuning up and down, with surprise in his eyes.
Maybe it's the climate and soil of the Zhenguo Mansion that make the girl beautiful. When I saw Yun Shuning today, I found that she was even more beautiful than before.
Especially those bright and sparkling eyes, just looking at him so coldly that it almost took away one's soul.
Zhou Yuan stared straight at Yun Shuning, the desire in his eyes was self-evident.
Lin Rouan saw this scene and suddenly became furious. She gritted her teeth and endured it again and again, and finally reached out and pulled Zhou Yuan's arm.
Zhou Yuan frowned in displeasure, but finally came to his senses and didn't lose his composure too much.
Lin Rouan forced a smile: "It turns out to be my sister, what a coincidence."
Yun Shuning could naturally hear the gritting of teeth in her words, and said calmly: "Unfortunately, I think I am not going the same way as you guys."
"Also, I'm not your sister, don't try to make connections."
The last sentence made Lin Rouan's face turn red with choking.
On the other hand, Zhou Yuan looked more and more foolish, his eyes glued to Yun Shuning.
He approached her attentively, his tone flattering: "After all, we were sisters once, why are you so distant? I often hear Rou'er mention you, now is the right time, why don't you come to my house as a guest, so that you two sisters can reminisce about the past."
Who wants to reminisce with her?
Lin Rouan looked at Zhou Yuan with resentment.
After such a long time, his dirty thoughts have not diminished but increased. Now he even wants to do improper things openly under the guise of Lin Rouan.
Yun Shuning noticed the expressions of the two people and said with amusement, "No need. We are not that familiar with each other yet."
Lin Rouan couldn't help but sneer, "Some people are just ungrateful. The Shangshu Mansion has raised you for more than ten years, and in the end you turned around and cut ties with us for a better place. Why does the daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion need to go out and buy cakes in person?"
No matter how much Yun Shuning disdained Lin Rouan, he had to say something at this moment.
Lin Rouan's ability to confuse right and wrong is much more clever than her shameful tactics of house fighting.
After all, this skill only requires thick skin.
Yun Shuning's expression remained unchanged, as if she was not affected at all: "Please make way, you are blocking the way."
She was carrying osmanthus cake, walked past calmly, and gradually disappeared in the crowd.
"Snapped!"
"Bitch! It's all your fault!"
Seeing that Yun Shuning left without saying a few words to him, Zhou Yuan was furious and slapped Lin Rouan hard in the face.
Lin Rouan covered her red, swollen and hot left face and looked at him in disbelief. In the past, Zhou Yuan would only hit her at home for the sake of the Duke's Mansion's reputation. She didn't expect that today he would beat her in public for that bitch Yun Shuning.
Zhou Yuan pointed at Lin Rouan and scolded her viciously, "Mind your own business! You're the one who pissed her off. A vicious woman is a vicious woman. Nothing good can come out of her mouth!"
Lin Rouan screamed angrily, "Don't forget, Yun Shuning is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. You are just a son born out of wedlock. How dare you covet her? It's simply wishful thinking!"
Zhou Yuan's eyes turned fierce, obviously he was touched by her. With a livid face, he raised his hand and slapped Lin Rouan hard again.
……
"Oh? So they quarreled in the street?"
In the pavilion beside the Bi Bo Pond in the Imperial Garden of Dayan Palace, Concubine An leaned against the edge of the pavilion, looking at the flowers and the water.
Her long sleeves fell on the water, and her moon-white brocade sleeves were like a cloud, gently skimming over the clear water, creating round ripples like the moon. Her waist was slender, her fingers were as white as flowers, and she turned her back to the palace maid Yun Que who came to tell her gossip to entertain her. She flicked her sleeves gently and sang:
"The ice wheel on the island is turning, and the Jade Rabbit is seen rising in the east... The ice wheel is leaving the island, and the sky is exceptionally bright... The bright moon is in the sky, and it is Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace..."
Yun Que observed her expression and waited until she finished singing a paragraph. When she showed satisfaction, she replied, "To answer your Majesty, it is true. It made quite a noise."
"As I recall, Yun Shuning was previously engaged to Yuan'er, but was later married off to her by Lin Rouan, right?"
"That's right," Yun Que took a few steps closer to Concubine An, "Look at the scene today. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Prince Zhou is still deeply in love with Yun Shuning and can't forget her. He resents that Lin Rouan took away his position as the wife of the Duke's Mansion."
She paused, and said with some contempt: "To be honest, Lin Rouan does have some skills. She is worthy of being trained by Wang since she was a child. It's a pity that our Prince Zhou doesn't want her. Wang is not a good person either. She dared to steal the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Now she is still imprisoned..."
As Yunque kept talking, Concubine An's eyes were filled with golden light, as if she had thought of something. She suddenly giggled and waved her hand gently. Yunque immediately fell silent and bent down.
