Chapter 7 The Regent's Sickly Concubine



Zhizhi is still unaware of these dirty things.

She felt like she was suffocating.

I felt inexplicably stuffy in my chest, and I didn't even want to eat the delicious food I used to enjoy.

Zhizhi didn't understand what was wrong with her.

He was listless all day long, curled up in the rocking chair and unwilling to move.

Xiaohong is only sixteen years old, two or three years younger than Zhizhi, and is even more ignorant.

She brought out fresh food and coaxed Zhizhi to open her mouth like an old mother.

"Madam, the chef in the kitchen has received some fresh wild vegetables and made a delicious soup. Please drink some, it may help you feel better."

Zhizhi was depressed, and took a look, and found that her appearance was indeed good.

I barely managed to use a few mouthfuls.

After swallowing it, Zhizhi felt chest tightness again.

She looked down at her chest and suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Xiaohong, look."

Xiaohong came over and blushed as well, she mumbled,

"Ma'am, you seem to have grown a lot."

After all, she had given Zhizhi a bath before.

Zhizhi then became depressed and frowned.

"No wonder I feel so swollen and heavy."

She sighed and Xiaohong felt bad seeing this.

I don’t know if it’s because of the harsh summer these days, but the lady doesn’t eat anything every day.

·

Zhizhi rested for a while and felt hungry for the first time in the afternoon. She called Xiaohong excitedly.

“I’m hungry!”

The house was quiet, without a sound at all.

She opened the curtain and saw Xiaohong running in happily from outside.

Excitedly told her the good news,

"Madam is so kind. The one in the Prime Minister's Mansion is not our future princess."

Zhizhi was confused. What happened?

Xiaohong said to Zhizhi,

"I just saw outside that the betrothal gifts from the Prime Minister's Mansion have all been sent back. I heard that the prince suddenly felt that the young lady was not suitable and broke off the engagement on the spot."

Zhizhi was full of curiosity. Break off the engagement?

Can human marriages be canceled at will?

In their family, a male fox only has one female fox in his life, but a female fox can have many partners.

So Zhizhi looked down upon Nie Rong's behavior.

but--

Zhizhi suddenly remembered the plot that the system sent her, and it seemed like something was wrong?

If Nie Rong doesn't marry the Prime Minister's daughter, who will he marry?

"What's it to you who I marry?!"

Nie Rong looked coldly at the emperor sitting alone in the hall. At this moment, his ambition seemed to no longer be suppressed.

The man stood proudly, his expression cold.

"Your Majesty, please mind your own business. Even if you are my uncle, please do not interfere in my family affairs."

The emperor was furious. "Am I not your family member? My nephew broke off Lin Piaoyi's engagement. Where will her face be?"

face?

Nie Rong sneered, "Lin Piaoyi's mother and my mother were close friends back then, and the marriage was arranged long ago. If my mother hadn't forced me before her death, how could I have agreed to this marriage?"

The emperor was stunned.

"There is no possibility between this prince and the Lin family. If Your Majesty has other good nephews, please arrange a marriage for them."

Nie Rong's marriage has always been a highly anticipated event in the court.

When he agreed to the emperor's marriage, everyone thought that Nie Rong was showing weakness to the emperor. After all, Prime Minister Lin was from the queen's family.

In the end, no one expected that there was such a twist.

Even Mrs. Lin, Prime Minister, had forgotten about it. She looked anxiously at the truly ill Lin Piaoyi, wiping away tears with heartache.

"How could I have known that the Crown Princess would actually take the joke we made when we were little seriously? Piaoyi, my Piaoyi, what should she do now?!"

Prime Minister Lin's forehead veins bulged as he cursed impatiently, "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry. Where's that arrogance you had when you were planning to control the prince's concubine? I told you to be more cautious. You insisted on bringing her down before the wedding and causing the prince to break off the engagement!"

Hearing this, Lin Piaoyi looked at Prime Minister Lin with grievance, "She has come to my shop to show off. Everyone in the shop says she is extremely beautiful. If I don't sell her off in advance, after the marriage, the prince will definitely be soft on her because she is a concubine. How can I live well then?"

Prime Minister Lin was angry, "Now that the marriage is called off, you don't have to worry about it."

The mother and daughter immediately hugged each other and cried bitterly. Lin Piaoyi said unwillingly,

"I've liked him for so long, how could he be so heartless!"

If Nie Rong knew what these people in Prime Minister Lin's mansion were thinking, he would want to kill them.

Since that day when he got to know Zhizhi, he became more and more interested in her.

He just refused to leave her.

He had been busy with the Lin Mansion's affairs these days and hadn't even touched Zhizhi's little hand.

Fortunately, it had a good ending in the end.

The Lin family broke off the engagement, and he dealt with all these matters at once and threw them to Qing'an.

"Replace all the betrothal gifts and keep the good ones for Zhizhi."

Qing'an nodded.

What else could he do? He had to work hard.

Nie Rong lost his good attitude towards the emperor, and his position in the court gradually became delicate.

The Regent's ambition is exposed?

The emperor pondered for a long time and did not dare to disturb him again.

So Nie Rong took a rare moment of free time to pack up the jewelry he had recently taken the time to tailor for Zhizhi and took it to the side yard.

·

inside the house.

Zhizhi was measuring her waist in front of the mirror, while Xiaohong looked worried and shook her head.

Zhizhi suddenly collapsed.

"How come I'm so fat?"

I can't even wear a piece of clothing.

She pulled at the beautiful skirt that she could wear last month, and the more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

"Xiaohong, have I become ugly?"
