And the two of them didn't talk to each other at all.
The last time the two of them sat face to face at the table with no one else around was more than ten years ago when they were both still married.
Ye Peizhu looked at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh that they were all old.
"I wonder why Princess Ning suddenly came to visit?
Princess Ning isn't here to reminisce about the past, is she?
Ye Peizhu was very rational and picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Lin Jingru looked at the gentleness in Ye Peizhu's eyebrows and her good complexion, and couldn't help feeling jealous.
It was obvious that Ye Peizhu had just given birth to a child more than a month ago, but there was no trace of fatigue on her face, she did not look old, and her figure was still in shape.
This is enough to show that Ye Peizhu had a good confinement period.
Oh yes, there are no concubines in Prince Kang’s Mansion, only Ye Peizhu is the mistress!
During her confinement period, Ye Peizhu didn't have to worry about her husband going to rest in one of his concubine's rooms!
If she had married King Kang back then...
Lin Jingru clenched her hands under her sleeves, lowered her eyes and tried hard to hide the emotions in her eyes.
"Peizhu, we were good friends once, so it's normal for me to come and reminisce about the past.
Or do you still remember what happened back then and don't want to forgive me?"
Ye Peizhu curled her lips and said, "Princess Ning, whether I forgive you or not is my business.
There's no need for me to tell you whether I've forgiven you or not.
As for reminiscing about the past that you mentioned, I don't think that apart from the relationship between sisters-in-law, we have any other relationship that can reminisce about the past.
Princess Ning, why don’t you tell me your purpose earlier, or do you want to come and see my husband?
Unfortunately, the prince has gone to the palace."
Ye Peizhu felt that what she said had given Lin Jingru enough face.
If Lin Jingru doesn't stop and says some disgusting words to bring back her disgusting memories from the past.
Then she would really be rude to her!
Seeing that playing the emotional card was useless, Lin Jingru also restrained her useless expression.
"Princess Kang, I came here today to ask for something.
Princess Kang should know that cousin Shufei is the Queen Mother's cousin. The Queen Mother asked my prince and me to help find you and Prince Kang to plead with cousin Shufei so that she can leave the cold palace as soon as possible.
It's winter now, and we don't know if there will be another snowstorm. If you stay in the cold palace for too long, you could die."
Lin Jingru went straight to the point and stated her purpose.
Ye Peizhu didn't know that Concubine Shu had been banished to the cold palace, and whether she could leave the cold palace depended on whether Concubine Gui had calmed down.
When she first heard what Lin Jingru said, she was actually a little confused.
However, she knew that it was Concubine Shu who instructed Mei Cui to poison Concubine Gui. When she thought about it this way, she understood.
So the emperor's punishment for Concubine Shu was just to send her to the cold palace?
That’s it?
If it weren't for her Jiuer who accidentally discovered the problem in the imperial concubine's sachet, this matter would have been exposed earlier.
I'm afraid that the imperial concubine's mother will be like what Jiuer said in her previous life. She didn't know who poisoned her until she died of the poison. She still thought how loyal Mei Cui was to her until she died!
The Queen actually thought it would be so easy to make the Imperial Concubine forgive the culprit, the Concubine Shu?
Even let Princess Ning act as a lobbyist?
What a joke!
If she gave in so easily, she would be too unfair to her poor mother, the Imperial Concubine in her previous life!
"Princess Ning, you were also there at my Jiuer's full moon ceremony that day, right?"
Lin Jingru didn't know why Ye Peizhu suddenly mentioned the full moon ceremony, but she nodded anyway.
"Yes, I was there that day."
"Then you should have seen it too. Because Concubine Shu ordered someone to poison Concubine Gui's mother, my daughter, who just turned one month old, had a nosebleed and fell into a coma!
If the imperial physician had not arrived in time, and if my daughter had not been poisoned too severely, can you imagine what would have happened to her, a one-month-old baby?
Let’s not talk about whether the Imperial Concubine is willing to forgive the culprit, Concubine Shu. My daughter was hurt because of Concubine Shu, and I will never forgive Concubine Shu!
Princess Ning, you have found the wrong person. If you want the Imperial Concubine to forgive the Imperial Concubine, then you should go directly to the Imperial Concubine instead of coming to me.
Similarly, you don’t need to look for the prince, because the prince’s ideas are the same as mine.
If this is the only thing you have come to say, you may go back."
Ye Peizhu finished speaking word by word, looking at Lin Jingru with a bit of coldness in her eyes.
When Lin Jingru heard this, she also remembered this matter.
It was her negligence, she forgot about it.
No wonder Ye Peizhu refused so emotionally.
If her daughter was implicated, she would never forgive the culprit.
But the purpose of her coming today was to persuade Ye Peizhu.
If she hadn't done this...
Lin Jingru's eyes flashed, "Princess Kang, I understand how you feel.
But this matter concerns the Queen Mother. As you know, Concubine Shu is the Queen Mother's cousin. If you are willing to give in on this matter, you can also persuade the Imperial Concubine to forgive Concubine Shu.
The Queen Mother will appreciate your kindness. I can help you talk to her and ask her to agree to a request from your Prince Kang's Mansion. How about that?"
Ye Peizhu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Princess Ning, does Prince Ning know what you said?
Or does the Queen Mother know? Does the Queen Mother know that you agreed to a request from Prince Kang's Mansion on her behalf?"
Lin Jingru's expression froze.
"Oh, I knew it. Over ten years have passed, and your ability to tell lies with open eyes and fabricate stories has become even more perfect."
Ye Peizhu sneered, and the look in her eyes that seemed to see through everything made Lin Jingru's eyes flash.
"Peizhu, you misunderstood me. It's not like that."
"Misunderstanding? Do you dare to guarantee it? Do you dare to promise it on behalf of the Queen?
If you don't dare, then don't try to be so arrogant! Come on, show him away! "
Ye Peizhu stood up and shouted for help.
Lin Jingru stood up and took Ye Peizhu's arm.
"Peizhu, can you please think about it again?
I will tell my mother about this. If you agree, I will ask her to agree to one condition from your Kangwang Mansion!"
Lin Jingru's tone was humble and pleading.
"Do you really think the Queen will agree? The Queen can do a limited amount, but she can do a lot.
If the Queen agrees to give our Prince Kang's Mansion a condition, do you think Prince Ning will be happy?
You worked so hard to marry Prince Ning and become his consort. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by Prince Ning for this?"
Ye Peizhu looked at Lin Jingru as if she were a fool.
Lin Jingru pursed her lips and said, "Can I agree to one condition of yours?"
"You?" Ye Peizhu looked as if she had heard something funny, "Could you betray Prince Ning for me?
It's impossible, Lin Jingru, from the day you and I became sisters-in-law, we were destined to never go back to the past."
