Chapter 156 Guilt
Halfway through the party.
The flower fighting session is in full swing.
The queen has a lucky draw, and the winner in the end can win a golden phoenix crown.
This is a great honor.
Moreover, if you show your face in front of the Queen, you will most likely be selected as the prince's concubine.
If the right time and place are right, it is not impossible for her to be chosen to become the Crown Princess.
In order to express themselves, the ladies worked hard.
Mrs. Du also brought a girl of appropriate age to the banquet. She is a concubine in the family and was not qualified to attend such occasions before.
Now that the two legitimate daughters have fallen into the quagmire, the concubine has a chance to stand out.
At this moment, he was led by Mrs. Du and answered in front of the imperial concubine.
The banquet hall was very lively.
For a while, no one paid attention to Ji Mingzhu anymore.
Apart from facing each other across the lake, Xie Yunzheng was sitting in the male guest seat.
Knowing that today was not peaceful, Ji Mingzhu did not dare to relax, for fear that the imperial concubine would suddenly make a move.
There was a tight string in my mind.
When fighting in the inner house, there are still flashes of swords and shadows.
What's more, this is a deep palace and involves a power struggle.
One careless move could result in a river of blood.
Ji Mingzhu died once and knew how difficult it was to live. No matter how calm she acted, she was not without any fear in her heart.
Looking at Xie Yunzheng from afar, the tight string finally loosened.
She had to admit that Xie Yunzheng did give her enough sense of security in this life.
Although Ji Mingzhu's expression could not be clearly seen, Xie Yunzheng was filled with joy when she took one look at her.
I heard that during the Dragon Boat Festival, you should give a colorful rope to the girl you like and tie it around your wrist to keep her safe.
He had nothing to do, so he asked people to bring him materials and started tinkering with them himself.
Several small golden bells can be tied to both ends of the colorful rope.
In this way, he can always pay attention to the movement of the pearl.
With a smile on her lips, she imagined how the pearl would look when she put it on.
Her skin is fair and delicate, and her wrists are slender. This thing must match her very well!
The prince followed His Majesty out of the palace, and there were only a few princes and clan members at the table.
The queen chose a wife for them and arranged for them to come and see it with their own eyes.
Initially, everyone's attention was on the other side, until Xie Yunzheng knitted colorful ropes.
It's really shameless for a grown man to play with such things.
A dandy clan member asked: "Your Excellency, which beauty are you giving this to?"
Xie Yunzheng paused and glanced at the speaker coolly, "What do you think?"
"That is definitely not the wife of the family. She has married her back home. There is no need to make such gadgets with her own hands to make her happy."
Xie Yunzheng's eyes looked like he was looking at a fool.
“If you don’t pamper your baby whom you finally brought home with great difficulty, will you wait to be abandoned by your husband?”
The words "abandon husband and son" came out of Xie Yunzheng's mouth, and they were incredibly powerful.
There was silence at the table.
Everyone knows who the baby he is talking about is.
Although Ji Mingzhu has a stunning appearance, she has no backer, so why should she be so nervous?
She can't run away!
And there are so many beauties, as long as Xie Yunzheng is willing, he is afraid that he will not find another beauty?
Several people's eyes fell on Ji Mingzhu.
Could it be that besides her beauty, she has other qualities that make her special?
Otherwise, how could Xie Yunzheng be thinking about him.
They have already married and are still worried about being abandoned by Ji Mingzhu!
Ji Mingzhu will be particularly sensitive to sight.
I was a little confused.
Did Xie Yunzheng say something? Why did the princes all look at her?
He touched the bracelet uncomfortably.
I wanted to drink some tea, but just then the imperial concubine's eyes glanced over.
Ji Mingzhu gave up the idea again.
Say silently: Be careful.
The banquet is still in progress.
Concubine Xu, who was sitting not far away, suddenly came to look for Ji Mingzhu. He whispered: "I came to Guishui. I have severe abdominal pain. Can you help me go to the palace next to me to have a rest and change my clothes?"
Ji Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly wanted to leave.
An incredible idea came to my mind.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Concubine Xu was his savior and asked her to do her best to cooperate with Concubine Xu.
Concubine Xu and the imperial concubine... no matter how you think about it, they shouldn't be on the same page.
The hand holding the veil tightened.
Finally, Ji Mingzhu stood up and supported Concubine Xu.
"It doesn't matter, do you need me to help you find a doctor?"
In just a moment, Concubine Xu's complexion paled considerably.
He shook his head and said, "I am a doctor myself and know what is going on."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He tightened his grip on Ji Mingzhu's hand and said, "I didn't prepare a menstrual belt. If I delay any longer, I might be disobedient. I can't bear the blame from my mother."
Concubine Xu was in tears, her eyes full of requests.
"Your Highness has told you that the only one I can trust is you."
Ji Mingzhu subconsciously went to see Xie Yunzheng.
The other party is also looking at her.
Without any further hesitation, Ji Mingzhu supported Xu Concubine and quietly left the table.
In the palace not far away, there was a palace specially set aside for banquet guests to deal with emergencies.
Ji Mingzhu helped Concubine Xu into the inner hall and saw a blood stain on the back of her skirt.
It's really my period.
That thought disappeared for the most part in an instant.
He quickly ordered the palace maid to fetch water, and also prepared a menstrual belt and a change of clothes.
Concubine Xu looked guilty, "I didn't expect to come to Guishui. I didn't prepare any clothes to change. This place is far away from the East Palace. It takes a long time to come back. Can you stay with me? I'm afraid someone will suddenly Break in.”
Glancing outside, Xu Concubine lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "His Highness said something will happen today, so let me follow you closely."
Ji Mingzhu's long eyelashes twitched slightly, and she became more and more suspicious. Did she think too much?
Cleared her throat, "I'll go outside and guard the door for you."
Concubine Xu bit her lip and finally agreed.
"Then I'll call you if I need anything."
Ji Mingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put the brocade quilt on Concubine Xu's belly, "You must keep warm during menstruation, otherwise the abdominal pain will be more serious."
The movement of leaning forward narrowed the distance between Ji Mingzhu and Xu Concubine.
The fragrance is astounding.
Ji Mingzhu didn't have time to think, so she fell limply beside the bed.
At the same time, he lost consciousness.
Xu He finally shed tears in his eyes and whispered: "I'm sorry."
She didn't know what the imperial concubine's next plans were, she only knew that her mission was completed.
Maybe, the imperial concubine will send the man in.
This was used to ruin Ji Mingzhu's reputation so that she could vent her anger on the woman named Du Peifang.
He might also do other things to Ji Mingzhu.
Either way, Ji Mingzhu is destined to be ruined.
Xu He felt guilty, but she had no choice.
She didn't want the princess to appear in the East Palace.
The imperial concubine was right, she was powerless and the future crown princess would not be able to tolerate her.
People who want to be concubines will also regard her as a thorn in their side.
She could only consolidate her position by seizing the time to have a child.
Disrupting today's concubine selection banquet was her only way to delay time.
Move Ji Mingzhu to the bed and cover her with a quilt.
Then light the incense.
After taking a final look at Ji Mingzhu, Xu He followed the tips given by others and found the entrance to the secret passage.
She knew that someone was following Ji Mingzhu secretly, and only by leaving through the secret passage would she not alert him.
