Chapter 75 Is It Too Selfish?
In the side courtyard, Wang Zhiyan was sitting in front of the dressing table, fixing her hair in front of the mirror. Ruolan, who was standing aside, lowered her head and waited cautiously.
"Miss, that guard Zhu has been brought back by the prince again."
“Bang!”
As soon as Ruolan finished speaking, Wang Zhiyan's hand swung out like lightning and slapped Ruolan hard in the face, making stars appear in her eyes.
"What did you call me?"
Ruolan was so dizzy from the slap that her eyes instantly filled with tears. However, she was so frightened that she didn't even have time to cover her aching face. Her knees softened and she fell to the ground with a plop, kowtowing and begging for mercy:
"I deserve to die. Please forgive me, Madam Concubine." Her voice was filled with tears and her body was shaking slightly.
Wang Zhiyan looked down at Ruolan who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes full of disdain and cruelty:
"If it happens next time, I'll just cut off your tongue." Her tone was so cold as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
When Ruolan heard this, the miserable state of Mei Xue in the firewood room of the Shangshu Mansion instantly emerged in her mind. She knew that her master was really capable of doing such a thing.
She kowtowed desperately in fear: "I dare not do it again, Madam Concubine, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time?"
Wang Zhiyan snorted coldly, letting Ruolan go for the time being. She sat back in front of the dressing table, picked up the comb, and slowly combed her hair in front of the mirror. Her tone returned to that arrogant tone:
"You just said that the prince brought that bitch back again?"
Ruolan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I just went to fetch water and heard the servants in the mansion say so."
Wang Zhiyan sneered, with a hint of pride in her eyes:
"I am now the concubine of King Zhaonan, and it was personally appointed by the Queen Mother. Isn't that bitch coming back to ask for trouble?"
As she spoke, she carefully looked at herself in the mirror.
"No matter how much the prince loves me, how can a man compare to me?"
Although Wang Zhiyan was cunning, she also understood that the only princes left were the Crown Prince and King Zhaonan. Both the emperor and the civil and military officials would force them to give birth to a prince, otherwise the Decheng Dynasty would be cut off.
"Tomorrow is the return visit day, let's see how sad that bitch is."
Wang Zhiyan became more and more excited as she spoke. She stood up and squinted her eyes:
"I am the concubine appointed by the Queen Mother herself. On the day of my return home, I was in great glory. That bitch could only watch helplessly. She must have been pissed to death. It makes me happy just thinking about it."
"Then the whole palace will know who is the real person of status in this palace. That bitch is not worthy to compare with me."
——
Although it was the twelfth lunar month and it was freezing cold outside, the bedroom in the main courtyard was warm because of the floor heating.
Zhu Wenqin was lying on the soft bed, his body wrapped in warmth. He was sleeping soundly in Jing Siye's arms. His face, which was pale yesterday, was smoked by the heat like a ripe apple. He occasionally uttered a few unclear mumblings in his sleep, looking extremely adorable.
Jing Siye lay on his side beside her, his eyes fixed on Zhu Wenqin's sleeping face, his eyes full of doting. He has always had a regular schedule, but at this moment, he was afraid that the slightest movement would disturb the little one in his arms, so he was willing to stay in bed with his little one.
I don't take the return visit seriously at all.
After Wang Zhiyan dressed up carefully, she waited in the cold wind for half an hour, warming her hands. Seeing that Jing Siye had not come out yet, he couldn't help but walk towards the main courtyard.
Lu Bo was on duty in the main courtyard today. When Wang Zhiyan was about to swagger into the main courtyard gate, Lu Bo stopped her without any hesitation.
Wang Zhiyan raised her chin: "How dare you stop me, do you want to lose your head?"
Lu Bo resisted the urge to scold him and took a deep breath.
"Miss Wang, please go back. The prince hasn't woken up yet."
Wang Zhiyan: "What a joke! The prince gets up at dawn every day to practice martial arts. Who doesn't know this?"
"And," she took a step forward, her eyes threatening.
"What did you call me just now?"
Lu Bo felt a surge of anger rushing to his head, and his fists were clenched as tight as they could be. However, when he thought about not disturbing Guard Zhu, he suppressed his anger.
"Miss Wang, please leave immediately. You can't afford to disturb Guard Zhu."
"Can't afford it?" Wang Zhiyan felt as if she had heard a huge joke.
"I was appointed by the Queen Mother herself. If you offend me, I will report you to the Queen Mother and see who can bear the consequences."
At this moment, in the bedroom, Zhu Wenqin raised her head slowly from Jing Siye's arms with her eyes half covered, her voice lazily and confused as if she had just woken up:
"Your Highness, why is it so noisy outside?"
Jing Siye stroked his back gently and said softly:
"Qin'er, please sleep for a while. I will go and take care of it."
Zhu Wenqin shook her head and sat up: "No, Your Majesty, Qin'er is a little hungry and wants to eat."
"Okay, I'll give the order right away."
As he spoke, he kissed Zhu Wenqin on the forehead, then stood up, put on his outer robe, and strode towards the door.
When Wang Zhiyan saw Jing Siye coming out, she shouted excitedly:
"Your Majesty, you finally came out. Yan'er knows that Your Majesty will definitely accompany Yan'er back home."
Jing Siye: "Wang Zhiyan, you disturbed my Qin'er. I will give you two choices. First, kneel here for two hours. Second, go back to your Shangshu Mansion and never come back."
Wang Zhiyan was shocked when she heard this. She couldn't make either choice. She asked unwillingly:
"Your Highness, why? Today is the day we return home. Yan'er just came to remind you, Your Highness, in case you forgot."
"What's so good about that guard? He can't give birth to a child for you, my lord. The prince only has two daughters now. The queen mother said that no matter who gives birth to a boy first, ..."
"ah……"
Before Wang Zhiyan could finish her words, Jing Siye kicked her in the chest. She flew two meters away, spitting blood, and lay unconscious on the ground.
Zhu Wenqin quietly closed the door of the bedroom. Although Wang Zhiyan had not finished her words just now, it was not difficult to think that no matter whether it was the prince or the prince, whoever gave birth to a boy first would have the possibility of inheriting the throne.
Jing Siye ordered his men to take Wang Zhiyan away and quickly walked towards the bedroom. Seeing Zhu Wenqin's lost expression, he knew that he had heard everything that had just been said.
Jing Siye: "Qin'er, don't listen to Wang Zhiyan's nonsense. It's estimated that she won't appear at the gate of this courtyard for a while."
Zhu Wenqin: "Your Majesty, if you treat her like this, what if she really reports it to the Queen Mother?"
Jing Siye: "Qin'er, don't worry. I have my own plans."
Although Zhu Wenqin believed Jing Siye's words without a doubt, he felt uneasy when he thought about the heir of the Decheng Dynasty.
Am I too selfish?
[The prince has not had a son for so many years,]
[If the prince married a woman, maybe he would have it.]
[If it is because of me that the Decheng Dynasty has no heir, even if I am with the prince,]
[Can Qin'er really be happy? 】
