Chapter 2 Please Hug Me, Your Majesty
Jiang Shuyi was stunned for too long and did not reply. Pei Yan sat on the edge of the couch and ran out of patience. He tapped his knees with his fingers and said, "Jiang Fei, you are too presumptuous. Kneel down."
He thought his tone was not harsh, but Jiang Shuyi's eyes turned red after hearing this, as if she was shocked by being scolded, and tears filled her eyelashes in an instant.
Pei Yan paused, wondering if he had said something too harsh, when he saw Jiang Shuyi suddenly staggering towards him with tears in her eyes, barefoot and with her black hair loose. She threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and cried, "Your Majesty..."
Jiang Shuyi realized that she was reborn.
The pain, suffocation and unwillingness before death have not yet dissipated. Although she doesn't know why such an incredible thing happened in the blink of an eye, there is no doubt that she is excited and happy at this moment.
She had a good life as a favored concubine. In the palace, the emperor was the eldest, the empress dowager was second, and she would be third. But how did her life turn out like that, going crazy and hurting herself and others? In the end, she was imprisoned and died at the hands of her own sister.
The first person she saw after her rebirth was Pei Yan, and she was very happy.
When she was imprisoned in Zhaoyang Palace two years before her death, even the maids who came with her as a dowry left the palace to get married, and only Pei Yan stayed with her.
Pei Yan often told him that many people outside were criticizing her as a witch concubine, and she could not go out. He would be her only support for the rest of her life.
Over time, Jiang Shuyi naturally became more and more dependent on him.
Just now, she really wanted to tell Pei Yan everything that happened before her death. When she heard the word "kneel down", she immediately came to her senses.
Not now.
During the five years when she was Concubine Jiang, Pei Yan only favored her, which was far from the point where he later abandoned the six palaces and protected her regardless of right or wrong.
If you hear such nonsense, at best you would think she is deceiving your superiors. But if you find something strange, you would catch her as a monster and that would be the end of you.
Suppressing her complicated emotions, Jiang Shuyi looked up at Pei Yan, her voice choking with sobs: "I had a nightmare and was terribly scared. Please, Your Majesty, please don't punish me to kneel. Can you hug me?"
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
It was the middle of the night, and both of them had just woken up. She was wearing a lilac-colored nightgown. The material was soft and thin, wrapping her slender body. There were some hair marks on her snow-white face. She knelt between his legs pitifully, hugged his waist, and acted coquettishly in a crying voice.
Pei Yan unconsciously reached out his hand and gently stroked her cheek, his tone softening: "Tell me what you dreamed about, and I will hug you."
Jiang Shuyi didn't even know what year it was, or what happened before she and Pei Yan went to bed. She was afraid of saying something wrong and being exposed, so she whimpered and pretended to be pitiful: "I dreamed that Your Majesty didn't want me, and I was bullied to death..."
Pei Yan paused and asked curiously: "Who bullied you? Your sister? Or Yu'er?"
Jiang Shuyi almost thought she had heard it wrong.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, grasped his robe tightly, and couldn't help asking in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how did you know?"
Could it be that he was also reborn? !
The next moment, Pei Yan raised his lips slightly: "You were talking in your sleep just now and scolded them."
His expression didn't seem fake. After Jiang Shuyi was stunned for a moment, she felt extremely disappointed.
She actually hoped that Pei Yan would come back with her, so that she wouldn't have to worry about revenge herself, and Pei Yan could arrange everything.
"Okay," Pei Yan leaned over and hugged her, patted her back gently, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Get up and go to sleep. Your sister will enter the palace tomorrow. You must be too happy to have these absurd dreams."
Jiang Wanqing will enter the palace tomorrow!
Jiang Shuyi could still feel the buzzing in her ears until she lay back on the couch.
So now is ten years ago, when she just gave birth to Pei Yu.
Jiang Shuyi couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. Since God had given her a second chance to live her life, why didn't she do it a year earlier? Just one year would have been enough. That way, Pei Yu wouldn't have been born, and Jiang Wanqing wouldn't have had the chance to enter the palace again.
Now that the matter was settled, Jiang Wanqing could still deal with it, but what about Pei Yu? She couldn't just stuff him back into her stomach and keep him alive? Impossible. She felt sick when she thought of this son now, and she just wanted to stay away from him.
She couldn't sleep all night, and only felt sleepy at dawn. She fell into a deep sleep, but was woken up again not long after.
"Your Majesty! It's time to wash up and go to Kunning Palace. Today is the day when the Third Miss enters the palace. It's not good to be late like usual!"
Jiang Shuyi opened her sleepy eyes, tilted her head and saw that there was no one beside her.
Concubines who served the emperor were supposed to sleep on the outside so that it would be convenient for them to serve tea and water at night, and they would not disturb the emperor when they got up in the middle of the night. However, Jiang Shuyi had been afraid of the dark since she was a child, and she felt more at ease sleeping on the inside. Pei Yan agreed, and even went to the morning court by himself, rarely waking her up.
Jiang Shuyi sat on the bed and relaxed for a while, then looked around the hall again, and finally her eyes fell on Jinzhu's face, whom she hadn't seen for two years. She confirmed that last night was not a dream and that she was really reborn.
Jinzhu didn't notice her master's abnormality. She stepped forward and helped her down from the bed, smiling: "Once the Third Miss enters the palace, Your Majesty will have help in the harem. If she gives birth to another prince, our little prince will have a brother to support him in the future. How wonderful."
Jiang Shuyi's face suddenly darkened.
She had two maids who came with her as a dowry, Jinzhu and Yuzhu. Jinzhu was smart and brave, while Yuzhu was gentle and cautious. In her previous life, Jinzhu was devoted to Jiang Wanqing and often said similar things in her ears. At that time, Jiang Shuyi did not think that her own sister would have bad intentions towards her, and thought that Jinzhu was doing good for her. But now, every word she said sounded harsh to her.
Help? As a favorite concubine, she had no shortage of followers. Miao Zhaoyi, Roupin, Feng Meiren, and countless others were all helpers who were willing to serve her.
What did Jiang Wanqing do after entering the palace? She cried all day and said some alarmist words to her, which made her panic.
After Jiang Shuyi decided to deal with those people with bad intentions as her sister mentioned, she said she was timid and afraid, so she stood aside and watched her fight alone.
The second half of Jinzhu's sentence is even more ridiculous.
Let the prince born by Jiang Wanqing support Pei Yu?
There is no brotherhood between the princes. When they grow up, they will almost compete with Pei Yu for the throne!
Jiang Shuyi stopped, turned to look at her, and asked unhappily, "Where did the Third Miss come from in the palace? This is the Imperial Palace, and she is now His Majesty's Concubine Jiang. And what you said, what about support and assistance, if the palace servants in the outer hall heard it and reported it to His Majesty, would you want to implicate me and you and lose your heads together?"
Jinzhu was confused.
She had served the empress for more than ten years and had never been scolded like this. She found it unbelievable.
What's wrong with these words? His Majesty dotes on the queen, so he wouldn't care even if he knew! Why did the queen suddenly nitpick and criticize herself? Could it be that Yuzhu, that two-faced little bitch, was saying bad things about her behind her back?
Jiang Shuyi suddenly remembered another thing and frowned, "Did I ask someone to clean up the east side hall of Zhaoyang Palace and give it to Jiang Wanqing to live in?"
"yes!"
Jinzhu came back to her senses immediately and smiled again: "When the Third Miss, oh no, Concubine Jiang moves in, Zhaoyang Palace will be lively. The ladies and sisters will be reunited and accompany each other day and night. This is a blessing that other ladies can't even envy!"
Jiang Shuyi now feels annoyed whenever she hears her talk.
Lively, but that’s not lively at all, it’s too lively.
Jiang Shuyi didn't waste any more time talking to her. After washing and changing her clothes, she took a sedan chair to Kunning Palace.
