Bai Mian laughed first, and then she started to cry. She closed her eyes and lay quietly on the bed. Her face was almost pale and bloodless, and her hair was spread out on the bed in a mess. The contrast between the holy white and the extreme black made her look inexplicably sad and broken.
"Mother of a nation? Jiang Ji, have you really ever considered me your queen? I just want to be an ordinary person. Bai Mian is no longer the same as before. She has a small temperament and cannot be a queen. Jiang Ji... depose her!"
Jiang Ji looked at her painful appearance, and the crown above his head made it difficult for him to breathe. He was the emperor, and everything in Anhuai Kingdom belonged to him. No one could refuse him.
He regained his former dignity, his voice cold and hard, "Bai Mian, forget everything in the past. I will give the child born by Concubine Li to you to raise, and I will also make Jincheng the crown prince. You will still be the honored Empress Dowager in the future."
Bai Mian went crazy when he heard this and threw something at him, "Jiang Ji! What about Ayan? What do you want Ayan to do? Are you going to give up on him? He is my child. Ayan is so smart. He was ruined by Lou Zhuxin and ended up like this. Now you want me to raise someone else's child. What do you mean by empress dowager? I don't care! Jiang Ji, I hate you! Get out!"
Jiang Ji has the majesty of an emperor. Although he feels guilty towards Bai Mian, he will not allow her to be presumptuous.
The man pinched her neck with his cool fingertips, his voice filled with anger, "Bai Mian, you must accept the favor I've given you. I've said you're my queen! Tomorrow, I'll hand the Second Prince over to you to raise. Even if you don't want to, you have to take over. Ah Yan, I won't treat him unfairly either."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
The cold wind rushed into the hall, but Bai Mian didn't feel cold.
Those eyes were filled with sorrow, and the long, thick eyelashes never blinked.
After an unknown amount of time of thinking, the hoarse voice sounded again.
"Yunyan, didn't Changle and Ayan go to the palace today? Why haven't they come to me yet?"
Yunyan just walked in with a plate of freshly made pastries. "The princess and the eldest prince are in the Cining Palace now. They will be here soon. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Bai Mian huddled back into bed, "Okay, I'll... wait for them to come."
Yunyan didn't notice that Bai Mian was in a bad mood today. She saw the silkworm pillow fallen on the ground and picked it up silently.
The Emperor has upset the Empress again.
…
Here, Jiang Qiao and Jiang Yanchuan just came out of the Cining Palace.
She was holding a piece of cake in her hand, which she had just taken from the empress dowager. Jiang Qiao was a little hungry.
While eating, I was thinking about what to do next.
She didn't know if Jiang Ji used the incense she gave him.
Those scents would slowly invade his body. He would become addicted after just one use and would feel tired. After a long time, he would have to spend his whole life in bed.
Jiang Qiao doesn't think he is cruel. Jiang Ji is not worthy of being the emperor!
"Changle, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Yanchuan asked.
Jiang Qiao broke off half of the cake in his hand and gave it to him. "I didn't think much of it."
"fraud."
Jiang Qiao smiled and reached out to pinch his face, "Ayan, you've changed a lot recently. How dare you call your elder sister a liar? Don't you like your elder sister the most?"
Jiang Yanchuan's ears quickly turned red, and he completely forgot to play dumb, "No!"
After saying that, he was stunned.
Jiang Qiao also stood there in a daze. Something was wrong, very wrong. What was wrong?
Ah Yan is no longer stupid? That's not right. In the novel, he was still not well at the age of 18. How could he possibly recover?
She must have been overthinking it.
Wangcai: No, you didn’t think too much!
"Ayan, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yanchuan: "I miss my mother."
Jiang Qiao didn't think about it any more, "I think so too, let's go quickly!"
…
Qiwu Palace.
Here the tranquility has returned to its former state.
When Jiang Qiao came, he could see that Bai Mian was not in a good mood and the smile on his face seemed a little fake.
"Mother, how are you feeling lately?"
Bai Mian smiled and said, "Mother is feeling much better now. Let's go to the Imperial Garden to fly kites together in the spring."
Jiang Qiao agreed.
Jiang Yanchuan looked at Bai Mian without saying a word. He seldom saw her, and this was the first time he saw her after regaining consciousness. To be honest, he didn't have any strong feelings for her.
He can't remember anything before he was five years old.
The mother and daughter chatted and laughed for a while, and Bai Mian suddenly grabbed Jiang Qiao's hand and said, "Changle, you are already eighteen years old. As for your marriage, it is not convenient for me to tell you too much. I just want to remind you to keep your eyes open. I have left you a dowry. Yunyan knows that she will give it to you on your wedding day."
Jiang Qiao's expression changed slightly, and she buried her face in Bai Mian's arms. "Why is Mother saying all this today? When the time comes, Mother will give it to me personally, and I will marry the best man in the world."
Bai Mian gently stroked her face and pulled Jiang Yanchuan to her side. "Mother is not in good health. Who can predict what will happen in the future? Ah Yan, you have grown up. In the future, your elder sister will protect you, and your mother will be at ease."
Jiang Yanchuan thought, she was just after the throne!
Jiang Qiao: "Mother, you will be safe and sound. Stop talking nonsense."
Bai Mian then realized what she had said, and the bitterness made a slight smile appear on her lips.
"Yes, I will be safe and sound, and you should too."
Jiang Qiao and Jiang Yanchuan stayed in Qiwu Palace for a while and then planned to leave the palace.
After walking for a while, I met Chi Qianan at a corner.
What he wore today was not his regular clothes, but armor, which made him look more heroic.
Jiang Qiao called out to him, "General Chi!"
Chi Qi'an didn't dare to look up at her. In his mind, he saw the woman begging him not to marry someone else. "Greetings to the eldest princess and the eldest prince!"
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 68% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
Jiang Qiao held a faint smile on his lips and said, "General Chi, you're welcome. Stand up."
Jiang Yanchuan saw at once that Jiang Qiao had feelings for this man, and couldn't help but feel surprised. Could she really like someone? Wasn't she just trying to exploit him?
"The Princess wants to ask me something?"
Jiang Qiao was just about to tease him a few more times when he caught a glimpse of a figure running towards him out of the corner of his eye.
It's clouds and smoke.
She ran over breathlessly, holding a food box in her arms, "Princess, Princess, it's a good thing you haven't left the palace yet, otherwise we would be late."
Jiang Qiao was puzzled, "What's the delay?"
Yunyan handed the food box to Jiang Qiao, breathing heavily as she spoke. She had just run in such a hurry, "Her Majesty said you love sweet-scented osmanthus cake the most. I happened to make some today, but I forgot to bring it to the princess. The queen just remembered it after the princess left a while ago, so she asked me to bring it to the princess. This sweet-scented osmanthus cake smells so good!"
Jiang Qiao didn't take the food box, and frowned slightly. Bai Mian was friendly to everyone, let alone Yunyan. She was such a kind-hearted person. How could she let Yunyan run so far in such a cold day just to give her this little osmanthus cake?
Bai Mian's instructions today surfaced in her mind. Were those words instructions or last words...
