The Rongguo Mansion is wealthy and well-established, with a century-old foundation. Before Xie Guanlan ascended the throne, many princes, with their eyes on the throne, secretly tried to win over Rongguo Duke Jia Shichang in order to gain the support of the Rongguo Mansion.
After Xie Guanlan ascended the throne, he took action to suppress the rebellion and recovered many imperial farms and lands, but a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The Rongguo Mansion is still rich and luxurious. Although not as rich as before, it still has a place in the court.
Yuan Qingyin's expression was solemn. "Jia Yueling is arrogant and sinister, with vicious methods. She regards human life as worthless. She relied on her status as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Rong to secretly kill many innocent people."
In her previous life, Jia Yueling entered the harem as she wished with the help of the empress dowager and was given the status of a noble concubine. Although she was only a noble concubine, she was already the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, so she tortured everyone in the harem in every way, including her.
She was the duke of a fallen country brought back by Xie Guanlan. Xie Guanlan had never favored her and even forgot her existence, but it still caused dissatisfaction in Jia Yueling.
Jia Yueling was a powerful woman, but she was a prisoner of war. Everyone in the palace was more noble than her. Her life was extremely difficult during that time, and she even...
Yuan Qingyin's eyes brimmed with hatred. Jia Yueling had even sent eunuchs to force her to have sex with them! If she hadn't been truly destitute, why would she have considered seducing the vicious, cruel, and merciless Xie Guanlan?
She never expected that Xie Guanlan would pierce her throat with a sword. She died with her eyes open, and was reborn afterwards.
"Sister, I caught a glimpse of Jia Yueling through the carriage curtain today." Yuan Jiang's long, slender eyelashes trembled. She leaned against Yuan Qingyin softly, blinking her innocent fox eyes with a look of sorrow and fear. "It seems that Jia Yueling saw me. Her eyes looked like she wanted to eat me."
"Sister, I'm so scared." She shrugged her thin shoulders slightly, as if she was really scared.
Yuan Qingyin frowned and patted Yuan Jiang soothingly, "Look at you, you're such a loser! His Majesty is in love with you. All you have to do is seduce His Majesty. If His Majesty is obsessed with you, you can have whatever you want."
She was reborn. In her previous life, Xie Guanlan was not interested in women, but in this life, he fell in love with Jiang Mei at first sight and was very gentle and considerate to her. The more difficult a person is to approach, the more he will be honored and favored once he falls in love with her.
What's more, Jiang Mei's appearance and figure were so stunning that not only Xie Guanlan but even she sometimes lost her mind.
Her sister was born to be a queen!
"Sister, is it true?" A faint smile appeared in Yuan Jiang's beautiful eyes, and her voice was soft and gentle.
"If I'm the real one, would I lie to you?"
"I feel relieved with what you said, sister." Yuan Jiang replied in a low voice.
There seemed to be rippling light flowing between her beautiful and charming eyebrows, revealing a crystal clear light. Her rose-like lips were gently raised, and when she raised her eyes to look at Yuan Qingyin, her charm and enchantment became more intense.
Yuan Qingyin was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Yuan Jiang say, "Your Majesty can only be my wife, no one else can snatch it away from me."
Yuan Jiang's slender white fingers brushed the black hair by her ear, and her eyes were full of water as she looked at Yuan Qingyin: "Sister, is that so?"
"Yes... yes." Yuan Qingyin swallowed helplessly, feeling that Yuan Jiang's expression was similar to the vixen in calligraphy and painting.
If she, as a woman, is fascinated by it, then wouldn't Your Majesty... be completely obsessed with it too?
At the same time, Jia Yueling had entered the harem and came to the Queen Mother's residence.
"Empress Dowager, Yueling is here to pay her respects to you." Jia Yueling bowed politely, lowered her eyebrows obediently, and had a gentle demeanor.
"You girl, it's already late today, why are you coming to the palace on purpose?" The empress dowager showed a loving smile. She had been in the cold palace for more than ten years. In the past, she had Xie Guanlan to accompany her. But after Xie Guanlan became emperor and she became the empress dowager, they had no time to spend together.
She didn't like the people in the harem. She had seen enough of the servants' faces when she was in the cold palace. Now that she was the empress dowager, she was also disgusted by the servants' fawning looks. Often, there was no one to talk to.
But Jia Yueling was gentle, kind, sweet-mouthed and considerate, and she often stayed in the palace with her. As a result, the empress dowager felt more pity for Jia Yueling.
"Empress Dowager..." Jia Yueling slowly raised her face, tears streaming down her red eyes. She knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly, "Yueling has been secretly in love with Your Majesty since a year ago. A few days ago, I heard that Your Majesty was going back to the capital, and I waited at the city gate every day. Today, I finally waited for Your Majesty to come back, but..."
"But Your Majesty has another woman by his side. Yue Ling doesn't blame Your Majesty, but only blames herself for not being able to endure hardship and not accompanying Your Majesty in the battles. Otherwise, how could she have given others the opportunity to take advantage of her?"
The Queen Mother frowned, her tone becoming colder: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Not to mention that there is only one woman by your side, even if there are ten or eight women, that is as it should be!"
"What's the meaning of your aggrieved attitude? My prince never made any promise to you!"
