When Song Xi returned to the room, he couldn't help showing off to Jiang Yi.
Although she was a concubine's daughter, she grew up under the care of the eldest lady, who always doted on her, so the sisters in other rooms of the Song family were also willing to pamper her.
Song Xi was used to being praised by others. When she arrived at the palace, she could no longer see her former sisters, so naturally she could only find a sense of existence from Jiang Yi.
Song Xi said to Jiang Yi: "My sister said that it's not that she doesn't want to help me, but because she is afraid that the emperor will be jealous of our Song family, so she only let me be a Baolin."
"But my sister also said that after I sleep with her, she will promote my status, and after I have children, she will give me four concubines."
After she finished speaking, she waited for Jiang Yi to praise her.
Jiang Yi's reaction was very cold.
"Oh, giving birth to a baby, that's still a long way to go." Jiang Yi said lightly.
Song Xi said: "Why do you say that? My sister will arrange for me to sleep with her as soon as possible."
"Will you definitely have a child if you sleep with him?" Jiang Yi said quietly, "The Emperor has been on the throne for three years now, and there has never been a shortage of beautiful women in the harem, but I haven't heard any news from any of the concubines."
"Otherwise, the Song family wouldn't have sent you to the palace after having a queen. This shows that it's not an easy task."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Song Baolin to become a concubine."
Every time Jiang Yi said something, Song Xi's expression became more embarrassed. Jiang Yi then said, "But that's not necessarily the case. Maybe Song Baolin has such good luck."
"However, after Song Baolin gave birth to the child, the child still had to be given to the Queen to raise. Of course, Song Baolin and the Queen were sisters, so the Queen would naturally not prevent Song Baolin from being close to the child, but..."
Jiang Yi didn't say the rest, but Song Xi thought more.
No one wants their son, born out of nowhere, to become a stepping stone for others. Song Xi was raised in the pampering of Mrs. Song. Such a person is truly brainless and selfish.
But Song Xi is someone who doesn't know how to hide her feelings. If she has any opinions about Queen Song, she will show it on her face, and then the two sisters will start fighting each other.
Song Xi was worried about her future and felt unfair, so she naturally didn't care about Jiang Yi. However, she still said, "No matter what, I am better than you."
Jiang Yi hurriedly said, "That's right. Song Baolin and I entered the palace together and came from the same mansion. Naturally, I hope Song Baolin will get better. In the future, I can also benefit from your help."
After sending Song Xi away, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the maidservant beside the queen came in and said to Jiang Yi, "The queen has summoned Jiang Baolin. Jiang Baolin, please follow me."
In the previous life, Jiang Yi died today.
The queen had to have her thrown into the Taiye Lake on false charges without much effort.
In this life, although Jiang Yi had been prepared for a long time, she still felt uneasy about what was about to happen.
Jiang Yi smiled and said to the palace maid, "Let me clean up a bit."
Jiang Yi was deliberately delaying time because in her previous life, the emperor happened to come over after she was thrown into Taiye Lake.
So this time she would go later, at least to meet the emperor.
If the emperor was present, perhaps the queen would not have thrown herself into the Taiye Lake so hastily this time?
But she is not afraid even if she is thrown in, but at least she wants to leave an impression in front of the emperor.
So when Jiang Yi rushed to Fengluan Palace, the emperor had already arrived.
The emperor was talking to the queen. Jiang Yi stood there and could only see a bright yellow figure out of the corner of her eye. She did not look up at the emperor, but stood there honestly.
The Empress took the initiative to mention her to the Emperor, "This is my distant cousin. She just entered the palace yesterday. Your Majesty hasn't met her yet, right? Could you take a look?"
Jiang Yi felt a pair of eyes on him, but the eyes quickly moved away.
The emperor's voice was somewhat gentle. "Since she is Aluan's cousin, Aluan will take care of her. I am here with you, Aluan. There is absolutely no reason for Aluan to push me away."
"How can Your Majesty have the nerve to talk about this in front of your sister?" Queen Song scolded him.
The emperor soon started talking about other things with the queen.
When outsiders talked about this emperor, they only said that he was of humble origin. The few who knew the emperor's background even sneered at him.
He only ascended the throne by luck, but in the final analysis he was just a puppet in the hands of the Song family.
What dignity can a puppet emperor have?
But what Jiang Yi saw today was not the case.
The emperor and empress were very affectionate with each other. The emperor seemed to treat Empress Song very well, and every word he said was affectionate. However, Empress Song, the eldest daughter of the Song family who was carefully nurtured, actually showed a bit of shyness in front of the emperor.
There was none of the arrogance inherent in the Song family, nor was there any way for the Song family girl to boss a puppet around.
But soon, Queen Song turned her gaze back to Jiang Yi.
"Jiang Baolin," Queen Song waved to Jiang Yi, "Come here and have a cup of tea."
Queen Song wanted to hand the teacup to Jiang Yi personally.
The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Aluan is really kind to your distant cousin."
Jiang Yi stepped forward. She knew that the queen would not call her for no reason. If she called her like that, it was likely that she was going to attack her.
But she could only step forward and take the teacup from Queen Song's hand. Queen Song did not hide her feelings at all and threw the teacup directly into her hand. She stepped back in pain.
Empress Song said unhappily, "I asked you to catch a teacup, but you couldn't even catch it. How can you serve the Emperor in the future if you are so clumsy? Drag her down and throw her into the Taiye Lake to sober her up. We can fish her out when she's fully clear-headed."
Jiang Yi's face suddenly showed a trace of panic. She looked at the Queen in panic, "Queen, please spare me. It was my fault. I will never do it again. Queen, please spare me."
She was even so honest that she thought it was really her own carelessness. A hint of surprise flashed across the Queen's heart.
She didn't expect that her brother would fall in love with such an honest and somewhat stupid person.
Compared to Song Xi, Jiang Yi is really too honest.
If such an honest person is a sister of the Song family, then it would be a good idea for her to stay and give birth to children for her. At least she is much better than Song Xi, who is ignorant of the immensity of the world.
But alas...
The queen only felt regretful for a moment before ordering the man to be taken away.
Jiang Yi was really at his wit's end, so he turned to the emperor for help.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Please ask the Empress for mercy on my behalf. It's so cold in winter, and I will die if I go down there."
She was wearing a pear blossom-patterned White House dress. She was really pretty, and even with tears streaming down her face, she didn't look embarrassed at all, but rather pitiful.
The queen now understood why her brother fell in love with Jiang Yi.
Perhaps men all like women like this, because they make people want to protect them.
So what about the emperor?
Empress Song looked at the emperor with interest, "Your Majesty, will you plead for her? If you do, then I, for your sake, will naturally let her go."
