Having a secret meeting with the guards?
When Si Jinyue heard these words, her face turned pale!
She only felt her heart pounding very violently, her legs felt like mud, shaking like chaff, and she couldn't walk at all!
She quickly leaned against the wall, hoping to gain some strength to prevent herself from falling to the ground.
Chunyu was standing by and naturally heard what Concubine Zheng said.
She looked at her princess's expression and quickly shook her head at the maid outside the hall door, signaling her to keep quiet.
She supported her princess and gently helped her to calm down. Then she leaned close to Si Jinyue's ear and whispered:
"Princess, don't be anxious. If she really knew, she wouldn't have asked Concubine Zheng to come along.
Maybe she just wants to find out something, we can't lose our composure first!"
Si Jinyue only felt that she was numb from head to toe!
She had never imagined that one day, she would actually... betray the prince she loved so much and do such a shameful thing with another man!
Si Jinyue forced herself to suppress the endless panic in her heart and let out a long breath.
Now that things have happened, if she doesn't fight back, she will be a fish on the chopping board!
She reached out and pulled up the collar of her shirt, her usual gentle and docile smile appeared on her face again, and she walked inside.
In the flower hall, Zheng Ranran was holding a cup of tea but didn't drink a sip.
Having a secret meeting with the guards?
What if you have heard it? What if you have not heard it?
She glanced slightly sideways at Concubine Liu's flat belly, then withdrew her gaze and continued:
"That secret meeting is all nonsense. This is the palace of the emperor. Sister Liu, please don't listen to rumors casually."
Concubine Liu stroked her belly, which was not yet visible, and said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, sister, you are very thoughtful. I think it must be a fabrication by the servants."
After she finished speaking, she saw Concubine Zheng closing her eyes and resting calmly.
Concubine Liu withdrew her gaze from her face, and a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes.
I heard that Concubine Zheng was pregnant before, but she accidentally fell and lost the baby!
No wonder the prince rarely goes to her Linglong Garden now. How can a woman who can't even give birth to a child deserve the prince's favor?
The two concubines chatted for a while, and then they heard the maid outside the door singing:
"The princess has arrived!"
The two concubines, Zheng and Liu, quickly stood up and knelt respectfully in the direction of the newcomer, saying:
"Greetings to the princess."
Si Jinyue stretched out her hand with a smile on her face, gave the two of them a helping hand, and said:
"We are all sisters, why do we need to go through all this formality?"
The three of them sat down, and Si Jinyue said with a smile:
"Our prince is the most considerate of his sisters. He has long said that you don't need to come and pay your respects every day.
Especially you, Sister Liu, you are now the treasure of our family, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes!
You guys, serve the prince well, give birth to a son or daughter for him as soon as possible, and make our house lively. This is the most important thing right now.
On my side, there's no need to bother you with running back and forth all day long!"
Concubine Liu was the last to enter the palace, but she had lofty ambitions.
After hearing what Si Jinyue said, she smiled and continued:
"Your Highness is right. I told Your Highness last night that I would come to pay my respects to you today.
The prince then said, since you are still pregnant, you don’t need to go to Cuijing Pavilion every day to set rules.
The prince also said that our princess is the most generous and kind person and will definitely not blame me!
Hearing what the princess said today, I can see that what the prince said was right! "
After hearing this, the smile on Si Jinyue's face faded a lot.
Open your mouth and close your mouth, pregnant, pregnant, is this just to annoy her?
She felt angry when she saw Concubine Liu's smug look on her face.
But she was the one who said it just now, how could she take it back?
She could only nod, put on a gentle and honest look, and said:
"Sister Liu is a blessed person. Not long after entering the mansion, she became pregnant.
I think in just six months, I’ll be able to give birth to a little prince for the prince, which will really make the sisters in the mansion envious! "
After Si Jinyue finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Concubine Zheng who had remained silent, and then spoke again:
"Sister Zheng, you have to hold on tight."
Zheng Ranran, who was named, heard this, his eyes darkened, and he said expressionlessly:
"What the princess said is true, but I want to say something presumptuous.
The princess is considerate of her sisters, but she shouldn't be too kind. When the prince needs to stay overnight at Cuijing Pavilion, he should stay.
After all, our palace doesn't have a legitimate heir yet!"
Si Jinyue was holding a cup of tea and was about to take a sip when she heard these words. Her hand trembled and the hot tea spilled all over her hand.
Concubine Liu exclaimed when she saw this,
"Princess, are you burned? Sister Zheng is also worried about you, please don't take it to heart."
Fortunately, the tea was hot but not scalding. Chunyu wiped the tea with a handkerchief and stepped aside.
Si Jinyue shook her head at Concubine Liu and said with a smile:
"No, it's just that my subordinates didn't hold it firmly.
I still believe that whether a child comes or stays is all about fate, and there's no need to rush it!
So what if Zheng Ranran was pregnant before?
She got pregnant and then lost the baby, so in the end, wasn't it all just a false alarm?
As she spoke, she looked at Concubine Zheng, but saw that she was not moved at all and her expression did not change!
Si Jinyue felt as if a fist had hit soft cotton, and her heart felt heavy.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Liu praised repeatedly:
“The princess is truly kind to us!
It's just that the weather is cold now, and the wind is blowing, making me feel very cold. I'd better quickly dry my wet cuffs!"
After she finished speaking, she continued without waiting for Si Jinyue to speak:
"It's just that...it's ok for the princess to be lenient towards us sisters, but she should be more disciplined towards the people in the mansion.
I was just telling Sister Zheng that there were rumors down there that someone had a secret meeting with a guard in the mansion!
The princess should sell out those who spread the rumors as soon as possible to prevent people outside from spreading false information!
If we bring shame to our Rui Palace, I'm afraid the prince will also vent his anger on the princess, right?"
When Si Jinyue heard this, her face suddenly changed. What on earth was Concubine Liu planning?
She calmed herself down, pretended to be furious, and said:
"Can you take this seriously? Who spread these rumors?
Our family has always had strict rules, how could someone have a secret meeting? Aren't you afraid of death?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the taciturn Zheng Ranran looking at her.
Zheng Ranran curled her lips and smiled, saying:
"What the princess said is right. Anyone who can do something like that must not be afraid of death, right?"
When Si Jinyue heard this, her head buzzed and she felt a chill all over her body.
She's not afraid of death? How could she not be afraid of death?
But at this moment, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door!
Then came the voice of the messenger outside the door, kneeling and saluting: "Your Highness!"
