The honest Yupin, Yupin
's character is not worthy of this title. How can such a superficial and sinister woman be pure and honest?
Not only Jiang Ruohua thought so, Princess Shangyang disliked her even more, but Yupin now had the status of an elder. She sat in the pavilion and gently stroked her bulging belly. She was pregnant and it looked like she would give birth in a few months.
Yupin was very proud. If she gave birth to a prince, she should be able to move up one or two positions. Unfortunately, her brother was not doing well.
"Since Concubine Yupin wants to rest here, Shangyang will take her leave." Princess Shangyang was not very friendly. She took Jiang Ruohua and planned to leave.
"Hey, the weather is nice today, why does the princess want to leave as soon as I arrive?"
Unfortunately, Concubine Yu is ignorant of appearances. Although she is a little smart, she is too self-righteous. She thinks she can do whatever she wants now that she is favored.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness." Jiang Ruohua bowed and said, "It's not that Her Highness the Princess is unwilling to accompany you, but the Empress is still waiting for Her Highness the Princess and me. If we are late, I'm afraid the Empress will be unhappy." After
these words came out, Yupin was immediately annoyed: "You are so brave. When did I tell you to speak when I was talking to the princess?"
Jiang Ruohua raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "Your Highness is joking. If Her Highness the Princess wants to leave, she doesn't need to say anything to you according to palace rules. But for me, you are the Empress in the palace. If you ask, I must answer. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disrespect to you, Your Highness?"
She was the guest of Princess Shangyang. Wherever Princess Shangyang went, she would naturally follow.
But Jiang Ruohua didn't pretend to be anything to Yupin. Yupin wanted to blame her on purpose, so it wasn't aggressive for her to fight back with palace rules, right?
Yupin glared at him, this bastard was clearly offending her! She would soon become the biological mother of the prince, and the mother would be the son's daughter. How could a woman who was disliked by the royal family think that she could talk to her like this just because she attached herself to a princess?
"Miss Jiang is quite eloquent. I am really surprised that you have not been able to use your talent on King Ying. It's such a pity, otherwise you would be a real princess now."
"I am terrified." Jiang Ruohua said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I really don't understand why Your Majesty praises me for my eloquence. Your Majesty has been doing my duty. I only know that women should not talk too much. How come it is a good thing in Your Majesty's eyes?"
"Please teach me, Your Majesty."
What a joke. No matter how strained her relationship with that bastard was, no matter how wrong her way of handling the problem was, a lady from a Duke's Mansion did not need to be so humble and petty for this. She would not learn from Zhao Yuexi and talk about love and romance with men outside her family. That would be really despicable!
Yupin used this to praise her, so she had to ask Yupin if she was trying to confuse right and wrong.
"How dare you!" Yupin's face turned red and she was a little angry. "Why are you pretending to be innocent in front of me? This is a violation of the order of the superiors. Someone, come!"
"Yupin..." "
Madam Yupin, calm down." Jiang Ruohua didn't intend to let Princess Shangyang stand up for her. If she left like this today, Yupin would only be angry for a moment and not feel any pain or itch. Some people will keep clamoring as long as there is room for struggle, not giving others a peaceful day. How can she wait for such people to come to her door again and again before fighting back?
She stood frankly in front of Yupin, full of confusion: "To punish the wives of court officials, the decision must be made by the Empress. You are pregnant with a prince, you really shouldn't interfere in this groundless trouble, otherwise wouldn't it ruin the future of you and the prince in your belly?"
"Please think twice, Your Majesty." She smiled and bowed, using the most gentle words, but she was pinching Yupin's most critical point!
Jiang Ruohua spoke the truth, and there was nothing wrong with what she said. If Yupin was just making trouble, naturally no one would punish her because of her favor. But if she insisted on interfering in other people's affairs and taking Jiang Ruohua down on the spot, wouldn't she, a small concubine, be able to bear the consequences?
Princess Shangyang looked at Yupin's blushing face, and said with a change of eyes: "Yes, if Madam Yupin wants to punish you, I will order someone to invite my mother to come. You should take care of your body."
Yupin sat on the stone bench, holding her belly and staring at the two of them. One was an abandoned bitch, and the other was just a legitimate princess. Now they were in cahoots with each other to show her face!
What if she is a legitimate princess now without a brother to support her? When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, who will this Princess Shangyang be?
If she is not a legitimate princess, how can she be worthy of her brother?
"Your servant is courageous." Jiang Ruohua knelt again to salute. She now realized that being polite has its advantages. For example, now, who can find fault with her?
Yingying smiled, without any malicious intent on her face: "If your Majesty feels that the Empress is biased, you can ask someone to send the Emperor." Just
as Yupin pointed out her faults, she then accused Yupin of slandering the Empress unfairly.
When their eyes met, Yupin's eyes seemed to turn into two knives to chop her into pieces!
Jiang Ruohua stood beside Princess Shangyang leisurely, waiting for Yupin to make her own choice.
If Yupin was a little smarter, she would know that neither choice was a good one, and it would be best for her to just admit her fault and leave. If she was hopelessly stupid, she could kill the entire Minghou Mansion today!
It feels so good to send someone off to the west.
Yupin glared at the two of them, but she still had some rationality in her heart. She held the hand of
a palace maid and left: "Wait for me!" Yan Qi left angrily with a group of people. This audacious Jiang Ruohua actually dared to plot against her! Did she think she could do whatever she wanted by getting back together with Princess Shangyang? She is just a princess without brothers, so what if she is a legitimate princess? She is just glorious for a while, but she still looks down on her own brother. Her brother is the next Marquis of Ming, how can he not be worthy of a princess? He
really doesn't like toasts and then drinks punishment!
After Concubine Yu left, Princess Shangyang couldn't help but sigh: "You are implicated as well."
"Don't say that, Your Highness." Jiang Ruohua shook her head gently, "From the moment I jumped in, I knew this time would come. The prince of Minghou Mansion has done many evil things, and I kicked him after he went into the water. Naturally, he had to come to the palace to seek justice for himself."
Unfortunately, in the dream, the two of them had already become intimate. The emperor loved Princess Shangyang very much, but it was impossible for him to directly execute the Minghou Mansion. Due to the secular world, he had to marry the princess to the Minghou Mansion.
Princess Shangyang still felt a little nervous, but she was not the type to swallow her anger: "This matter involves too many things. Now it seems that I should talk to my mother about what happened back then."
"Sorry, I don't want to get involved." Princess Shangyang was a little helpless. "My mother is in charge of the entire harem. If I target Concubine Yu too much, it will not be good in the end. So if there are many things that I can solve by myself, I don't want to bother my mother."
