Chapter 82 The death of two children has another reason

Looking at the group of people coming in, Ji Jinyou almost dropped his jaw in surprise.

She counted carefully and found Concubine Shun and Concubine Ning with the eighteenth prince, Concubine Yue, Concubine Fang, and even Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu who were visiting for the first time.

Ji Jinyou really didn't understand. On such a rainy day, why did these people not stay in their own palaces but come to visit together? What on earth did they want to do?

Concubine Ru was also very surprised, but she still smiled gently and greeted everyone.

After exchanging pleasantries, Concubine Ru arranged for everyone to sit down and asked Jin Xing to serve tea and snacks.

Ru Fei was not a talkative person. She just held the teacup and smiled softly without saying a word.

The Eighteenth Prince hid beside Concubine Ning, quietly looking at Little Nine who was sitting on the couch, with curiosity and a hint of awe in his eyes. However, the boy was only six years old, and although the Eighth Princess had explained it to him last time, he still couldn't understand what the barrel ghost was, and didn't know whether it would rush out and bite him.

Ji Jinyou noticed the Eighteenth Prince's evasive gaze, stretched out her little hand to him, and said in a childish voice, "Eighteenth Brother, come over and play."

Who would have thought that Eighteen would retract his head in an instant and hide behind Concubine Ning.

Ningpin smiled awkwardly, stretched out her hand to pull Eighteen out from behind her, gently pushed him forward, and coaxed him in a low voice: "Didn't you tell mother yesterday that you wanted to go play with Brother Seventeen and Sister Nine? Go quickly."

Eighteen feet pressed against the ground, not daring to move forward, and stared at Xiaojiu with a pair of anxious eyes.

Did he still not recover from the shock he received from her in Yu Garden last time? Then he must be too timid.

In order to improve her ferocious image in Shiba's mind, Ji Jinyou smiled like a brilliant sunflower, patted the couch with her chubby hands, and invited him to come over.

Seventeen had just paid his respects to the ladies and was now standing on the ground. Seeing that Xiaojiu seemed to want to play with Eighteen, he stepped forward, grabbed Eighteen's hand, pulled him to the edge of the couch, and pushed him in front of Xiaojiu.

Ji Jinyou looked at the timid little boy who looked like a little rabbit, and couldn't help laughing. She stretched out her little hand and grabbed his hand: "Don't be afraid, Youyou won't hit anyone."

Seeing the younger one coaxing the older one, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Ru Fei found that since everyone entered the room, everyone's eyes were on Youyou, but she didn't think much about it, because in her eyes, Youyou was the cutest doll in the world, and she could never look at her enough, so it was normal for others to look at her a few more times.

Eighteen was being coaxed by his adorable little sister, and since he didn't see that ghost come out to talk, he wasn't so scared anymore and climbed onto the couch and sat down.

Seeing that Xiaojiu was still holding Eighteen's hand, Seventeen returned to the couch, sat next to Xiaojiu, pulled her little hand back, held it in his own, and hugged the little girl in front of him, moving a little away from Eighteen. He didn't want another person to snatch Xiaojiu from him.

Ji Jinyou knew that Seventeen was jealous again, so she patted his shoulder with her little hand to comfort him, and sighed in her heart: [Sure, my brother Seventeen is so clingy to me.]

System: [A sweet burden.]

The seventeenth day was spent with Xiaojiu, and he had become numb to Tongtong's talk. At this moment, it was as if he didn't hear anything. His two thin arms were still around the chubby girl's round waist.

After hearing what Tong Tong said, the concubines' eyes lit up and their backs straightened up.

It is raining today, and the Queen, out of consideration for everyone, has sent word that there is no need to pay respects. However, there are so many concubines in the harem that it would take quite a while for the two young eunuchs from the Fengyi Palace to pass the message all the way.

Some people left home early and heard the news halfway through their journey. When they heard that they didn't have to go to Fengyi Palace, Yue Guiren and Fang Guiren thought of going to Miaoyunxuan to sit and see if there was anything exciting to listen to.

The two met Concubine Shun on the way and invited her warmly. Concubine Shun knew what the purpose of Yuefang and the other two ladies was, and she also loved gossip, so she did not refuse and readily agreed.

Later, she met Concubine Ying, Concubine Mu, and Concubine Ning with the eighteenth prince, and invited them all.

Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu did not have a good relationship. They did not want to be in the same place and did not want to come. However, Concubine Shun relied on her age and dragged them here, and even guaranteed that they would not regret coming.

But after entering the door and sitting down, the two of them sat on the left and right sides, as far away from each other as possible.

At this moment, when the two heard the young man's voice, they were all shocked and stunned. They looked at each other subconsciously, but when their eyes met, they immediately looked away. Before they could look around, they were grabbed by the people next to them.

Yue Guiren stood next to Mupin and said in a very soft voice, "Sister Mupin, please listen first. I will explain it to you later."

Concubine Mu was extremely puzzled, but seeing that no one expressed any emotion, she had no choice but to suppress her doubts.

Concubine Ying was also pulled by Concubine Shun, who was sitting next to her. After whispering a few words, she nodded without saying a word.

The concubines were all fine and didn't make any big noise. But when Eighteen heard that the barrel ghost had come out again, she was frightened and subconsciously moved back, looking at Xiaojiu with uneasiness.

Eighteen's gaze was too straightforward, and Seventeen was afraid that Nine would notice something was wrong, so she reached out to cover her eyes. Ji Jinyou thought Seventeen was playing a prank on her and giggled.

When Eighteen saw Seventeen winking at him, he dared not stay on the couch any longer, so he jumped off the ground and ran back to Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning knew that her son was timid, so she reached out and held him in her arms.

Ji Jinyou pulled away Seventeen's hand that was blocking her, and found that Eighteen had run away. Thinking that Eighteen was timid, she didn't think much about it.

Looking at the group of people sitting on the ground drinking tea silently, she couldn't help but ask again: [Boss, do you know what they are doing here? ]

System: [I don’t know.]

Ji Jinyou asked again: [Do you know about Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu? I feel like they don’t have a good relationship.]

When everyone just walked in together, the two of them accidentally got close to each other, and then immediately separated and walked to the two sides.

The system flipped through the pages: [The relationship between the two of them is complicated.]

All the concubines pricked up their ears, and Seventeen and Eighteen also listened silently.

Only Concubine Ru was sitting quietly with a cup of tea, looking at the chubby girl on the couch with a smile on her face. She didn't realize that there was anything wrong with everyone being silent.

Ji Jinyou: [How complicated? ]

System: [Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu entered the palace in the same year and originally had a very good relationship. However, after their sons, the ninth prince born to Concubine Ying and the eleventh prince born to Concubine Mu, died one after another, their relationship fell apart.]

Ji Jinyou: [Why? ]

When Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu heard the man mention the child, their faces darkened.

The other concubines pretended to casually serve tea and snacks, taking the opportunity to look at the two of them with curious eyes.

System: [They both suspected that the other party killed their sons, but the truth is not that. There are other reasons for the deaths of the two children.]
