Chapter 322: Three Invitations to Lin Qingjun
The person who knows Ji Chenchuan best is Zong Yuancheng.
He immediately saw the connection here.
Ji Chenchuan refused to attend the banquet because his mother was too willful and arrogant. Not only did she not even send a notice of invitation, but she also only asked a small eunuch to pass on the message.
If it happened to someone else, they would not only attend the banquet, but also come happily. But it would not happen to Ji Chenchuan.
"Mother, why don't you post something over there?"
Concubine Ning smiled. "I have been doing this for many years. Why should I change my rules just for him? If he doesn't come, I will ask His Majesty to personally issue an order for him to come. In short, I will not issue this order."
This is her capital and her privilege.
She continued, "If I change this rule this time, how will I establish my authority in the future? Will my previous actions be laughed at? I can't afford to lose face like that."
Zong Yuancheng nodded. What she said made sense. Once this rule was broken, it would be gone, and it would be very embarrassing.
Can.
"Mother, have you ever thought that we were indeed too much and too ostentatious before?"
Concubine Ning was startled.
It was not because of what Zong Yuancheng said, but because Ji Chenchuan said the same thing not long ago.
At that time, Zong Yuancheng fell in love with Lin Qingjun. She didn't want to ruin her prince because of a woman, so she gave her portrait to the prince, hoping to kill her with the prince's hand. But who would have thought that Ji Chenchuan found out, and he also said that she was too arrogant and too high-profile, which led to the prince falling into the water.
As it turned out, it was indeed beneficial for her to keep a low profile. The prince is still under house arrest.
Perhaps she had lived a very peaceful life these days, so she put the matter behind her.
She gritted her teeth and said, "But how could I be willing to change all this?"
"Cheng'er, you should understand that I got this special case from your father bit by bit. It was carefully planned by me. If it is destroyed because of this, I, I..."
She had finally gotten it because a man loved her so much. Before that, she had been constantly acting like a spoiled child, constantly testing the bottom line of this most noble man in the Great Qi Kingdom. But Ji Chenchuan's words of disapproval had made all her efforts go to waste? How could she accept this?
Zong Yuancheng didn't even offer a word of comfort, but simply said, "Mother, some things need to change."
When Concubine Ning heard this, she nodded tremblingly.
Ji Chenchuan lay gently beside Lin Qingjun, with a quilt between them.
He really wanted to sleep with the woman who was sleeping so soundly in his arms, but he would never do so without her consent.
Respect is actually a kind of deep love. If you love her, you should respect her and respect everything about her. You should not be presumptuous to her just because she has a little affection for him. This is wrong and it is like being a hooligan.
He was already very happy to be able to lie in the same bed with her.
Xie Yang came over to report, "Sir, Concubine Ning sent an invitation to the palace banquet."
Ji Chenchuan raised his eyebrows. Not bad, she reacted quickly enough to actually know what he was thinking? Was there someone behind her giving her guidance?
But it must be said that she is capable. She has finally obtained this special exception from the emperor after so many years, but she can let it go so quickly. She should understand that without this special exception, she will be no different from those concubines in the harem.
But, that’s not enough.
He waved his hand and said the same two words, "No."
Concubine Ning is also ridiculous. This cannot be called a special case. This kind of special case should not exist. She is just a result of the emperor's favor for her. It is the bad result of being arrogant because of the favor.
The era when a single eunuch could persuade all the ladies to come to the palace for banquets was finally coming to an end with him.
He didn't care what his previous wives did. He only cared that his wife must not be ordered around by a rootless person just because of what she said.
I won’t go, I won’t go.
Bang.
Concubine Ning was so angry that she overturned the teacup.
"Who the hell is Ji Chenchuan? How dare he disobey me like this?"
"Believe it or not, I will go to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion and raid his house right now?"
She was so angry, really so angry, how dare Ji Chenchuan do that?
and.
"How can he, a man who is about to die, still be so arrogant?"
Instead of taking good care of his body and thinking about how to prolong his life, he went against her again and again?
Didn't he know that the future emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom might very well be her son? And that she might very well be the future empress dowager? How could he dare?
Concubine Ning never imagined that this man who had not returned to Shangjing for more than ten years would be so disobedient?
"Cheng'er, please say something." She was anxious.
Zong Yuancheng's brows also furrowed, and a hint of impatience appeared in his eyes.
He never thought that Ji Chenchuan was smarter than him, because he could play him in the palm of his hand since he was a child. And his father, the emperor, played the role of a dandy prince in front of him. Undoubtedly, he was successful. His father still thought that he had accomplished nothing and was secretly worried about him.
But now, Ji Chenchuan not only knew his true nature a long time ago, but was also able to ignore him, which made him lose all his face.
What made him even more annoyed was that he could only see through one or two things about Ji Chenchuan, but not seven or eight things about him. How could he not be annoyed?
When Concubine Ning saw that he didn't say anything, she started cursing again.
"Alright, if he's so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude. I'll give him a few beautiful maids right now. I don't believe he can refuse."
"And that Lin Qingjun, doesn't she think she can become arrogant just because she has Ji Chenchuan as her backer? The day after tomorrow I will let Lin Yingxue return to the Lin Mansion and give her a lesson when she returns home."
etc.
When Zong Yuancheng heard this, he suddenly understood something.
"Mother, did you just say the Lin residence is the day after tomorrow?"
Concubine Ning was confused. "Yes, but what does that have to do with the present?"
Zong Yuancheng laughed heartily. "Yes, yes, yes, that's right. Ji Chenchuan is really very cunning. Why didn't I think of this?"
"Mother, please post another message and tell them that you are inviting Lin Qingjun to a banquet tomorrow."
Next?
"Cheng'er, are you crazy? This will be my third invitation. How could a noble concubine like me invite you three times in this world?"
"Then mother, do you want to help me vent my anger?"
"this?"
Of course she did, but it was too embarrassing for her.
Zong Yuancheng ignored her emotions and said, "If you want, then please come again. But this time, please add the time. Instead of three days later, change it to the day after tomorrow."
That was the day when Lin Qingjun returned home after three days.
Ji Chenchuan had his thoughts hidden deep inside. He didn't want to attend the banquet, but he didn't want Lin Qingjun to return home three days later and be tortured by the Qi family.
But if the date is changed to this day, the three-day return visit can be skipped, so he will definitely come to this palace banquet.
Zong Yuancheng smiled confidently, thinking he had everything under control.
