Qiandai couldn't hide the joy on her face. The master and the emperor were obviously concerned about each other, but a rift arose between them because of an irrelevant person. Both of them were proud people, and neither of them was willing to bow their heads first.
This is why the two of them tortured each other for so long, and it also made Concubine Lan become powerful and arrogant. After giving birth to the prince, she no longer took her master seriously.
Now that the emperor is willing to bow his head, she has to help her master seize the opportunity.
Having said that, Qiandai helped Concubine Jing to wash up. Concubine Jing was still shocked by the emperor's words and had not yet fully recovered. Instead, Qiandai helped her to wash up.
It was not until she had washed up and changed into her pajamas that Concubine Jing regained her senses. She wondered why the emperor seemed like a different person today.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she suddenly felt her body lighten and someone picked her up. She couldn't help but scream out in surprise, and her hands subconsciously wrapped around the neck of the person who was holding her.
Only then did Concubine Jing see clearly that it was the emperor who suddenly picked her up. Just as she was about to struggle, Gu Qilan had already put her down. She was only a few steps away from the bed.
For a moment, Concubine Jing didn't know what to say. Finally, Gu Qilan put Concubine Jing on the inside of the bed, and then he lay down on the outside and said softly, "You are not feeling well, go to bed early."
After saying that, Gu Qilan closed his eyes first, leaving Concubine Jing alone, her heart restless for a long time. Looking at the emperor's handsome sleeping face under the dim candlelight, her heart gradually calmed down.
It had been a long time since she had looked at the emperor at such a close distance. Seeing the fatigue that could not be concealed between the emperor's brows, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Then she remembered what Concubine Yi had said inadvertently in the Imperial Garden before: Feeling sorry for a man is the beginning of misfortune. Thinking of what the emperor had done, Concubine Jing's trace of pity faded a little.
When she heard these words, she just took them as a casual remark and didn't take them to heart. What does misfortune have to do with feeling sorry for a man?
But now that she thought about it carefully, weren't her, or rather the women in this palace, all of their misfortunes caused by a man?
If you feel sorry for him, it means that he is in your heart. If you have a man who has countless women in your heart, isn't that your misfortune?
Concubine Jing curled the corners of her lips in self-mockery, no longer looking at the emperor beside her, turned her back to him and fell asleep.
The emperor opened his eyes when Concubine Jing turned around. He could feel that Xiang'er still had feelings for him. He could feel the strong gaze after he closed his eyes just now.
But for some reason, after a while, his Xiang'er turned her back to him. Does this mean that Xiang'er is not going to forgive him and reconcile with him?
Gu Qilan frowned and thought, but he didn't think for long before he felt his eyelids heavy. He couldn't help but fell into a deep sleep. He had been feeling very tired recently, probably because of the busy state affairs.
The two of them went to bed with different thoughts, but outsiders thought that Concubine Jing had regained her favor. After all, the emperor had stayed and the lights in the room were off.
In Lanpin's palace, just as she had sent away the maid who had come to tell her the news, the sound of shattering porcelain echoed in the hallway: "Bitch! Bitch! You pretend to be so noble, but in fact, you are still hoping that the emperor will come to her bed! You pushed the emperor away in the past, it was all fake, bitch, why are you being so hypocritical!"
Seeing her master's scolding getting more and more harsh, Biyun was afraid that someone with ulterior motives might overhear her, so she hurried to comfort him, "Master, calm down. Now is not the time to scold. If Concubine Jing regains her favor, it could very well be a threat to you. We must be prepared."
After all, the favor of his master was basically snatched from Concubine Jing.
When Concubine Lan heard this, she came to her senses immediately. Now, favor is the most important thing to her.
She stood up suddenly. Concubine Jing had always refused to let the emperor stay, and the two of them were in a stalemate. Now that the emperor stayed, it meant that the conflict between them was resolved. Then... what did she have to do with it?
After so many days, she finally understood everything. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to say that the emperor's favor towards her was largely due to Concubine Jing.
Because the emperor was frustrated with Concubine Jing, and she went to comfort him at this time, it was natural for her to keep the emperor.
Now that the emperor is staying with Concubine Jing and the two have reconciled, the emperor has even less eyes for her. Just think about it, the emperor was so focused on Concubine Jing's illness that he didn't even care about her sixth prince's illness.
Now that the Emperor and Concubine Jing have reconciled, wouldn't there be even less hope for her and the Sixth Prince?
Thinking of this, Lanpin's eyes deepened slightly. "You're right. We must be prepared early. When I was in the boudoir, I was always outshined by Lan Xiang. Do I have to be outshined forever? I don't believe that even though I have a son, I can't compare to her who can't have children!"
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve palace banquet. Not long after Ning Yuxi brought the three little ones to the scene, the palace banquet officially began.
At the banquet, the concubines heard Concubine Lan talking non-stop, and she was basically talking to Concubine Jing.
"Sister Jing Fei, you and the Emperor have finally reconciled. As your younger sister, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Since the day the emperor stayed overnight in Concubine Jing's palace, he stayed there for several days in a row. Everyone knew how much the emperor doted on Concubine Jing in the past, so no one dared to say that he only favored one person.
After hearing what Lanpin said, Jingfei's expression remained unchanged. The emperor had been to her place for several days in a row. She used the excuse that she was not well yet and just covered herself with a quilt to sleep, so she didn't bother to pay attention to what Lanpin said.
But seeing that Lanpin was still about to continue, Jingfei thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor and I have never had any quarrels, so how can we talk about reconciliation? It's just that I was not feeling well before."
Concubine Jing's words really made Concubine Lan choke. She laughed dryly and said, "Haha, yes, my sister and the emperor have a very deep relationship. How can there be any talk of reconciliation? I was wrong."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing frowned slightly, but she didn't like arguing with others and was too lazy to pay attention to Concubine Lan, so she didn't say anything else.
But not long after, Concubine Lan asked the wet nurse to bring the Sixth Prince over. After playing with him for a while, she said to Concubine Jing, "Sister Jing, look at your little nephew. He keeps babbling to you. It seems like he wants you to hold him."
As she spoke, Lanpin stood up and walked to Concubine Jing, handing the Sixth Prince to her: "Sister, you see how much the Sixth Prince likes you as his aunt. Speaking of which, the Sixth Prince has been born for three months.
Sister, you haven't held him yet. We are sisters from the same family. The Sixth Prince has the same blood as you, so we should be closer."
Concubine Jing looked at the Sixth Prince who was looking at her with a confused face. When she looked over, he smiled happily at her. The tender child's voice touched her heart, making her involuntarily feel a little good about this little baby.
