"you...".
Jiang Ranli's refusal made Concubine Yi frown, and her face was full of displeasure.
"Mother, don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, I will have made a big mistake. The Ninth Master has always doted on my younger sister, the concubine. It was all my wishful thinking and selfishness. I even dreamed of serving the Ninth Master together with my younger sister, the concubine, and having children for him. Mother, don't be angry. I don't want children around me anymore, and I won't have these fantasies anymore," Naren began to comfort Concubine Yi. Her words were pitiful, sensible, and polite, and she looked even more pitiful.
After hearing what she said, Concubine Yi felt extremely pity for her, but looked at Jiang Ranli coldly.
"An Jia, look at how magnanimous Naren is, and then look at you, you are so petty. Do you think that just because you monopolize Old Nine, Old Nine will only favor you forever? A woman serving the king with her beauty will not last long," Concubine Yi scolded Jiang Ranli.
Serve the king with beauty?
Listening to Concubine Yi's evaluation of herself, Jiang Ranli just wanted to sneer. If Concubine Yi said that she was occupying Yinzhen, she would admit it even if it was not true. After all, Yinzhen dismissed the harem for her, and had her as his exclusive lover, and he looked down on other women. But if she said that she was serving the emperor with her beauty, she would not admit it.
Because the relationship between her and Yinzhen was not based on each other's looks, so what is the meaning of "serving the emperor with beauty"?
"First of all, I am not monopolizing the Ninth Master. Secondly, I know that serving the emperor with my beauty will not last long. If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first. I met Eunuch Li when I entered the palace just now. The Emperor asked me to go to him."
After saying that, Jiang Ranli bowed gently to Concubine Yi and turned to leave.
But as soon as she turned around, she saw the maid beside Naren holding a child.
The child was crying loudly in the maid's arms. The moment Jiang Ranli saw him, she recognized that it was her child, one of the twins - Hongqi.
Aren't Hongqi and Hongxiang being looked after by Sidai in the mansion? How come they were brought to the palace by Naren's maid?
Jiang Ranli was full of doubts, but she didn't have time to think carefully. She stepped forward, stopped Naren's maid, and held Hongqi in her arms.
"Anjia, what are you doing?" Concubine Yi's voice came from behind her.
Jiang Ranli turned around, her eyes as cold as a sharp blade. Hongqi's voice was hoarse from crying at this time. He must have cried all the way from the mansion to here. Others did not feel any sympathy, but her heart as a mother was almost broken, and now Concubine Yi actually asked her what she was doing in such a stern tone.
"Concubine, may I ask why Hongqi was brought into the palace by your maid?" Jiang Ranli did not answer Concubine Yi's words, but looked at Naren with a pair of cold eyes.
Seeing this, Naren showed a look of fear on her face. She moved her feet and hid beside Concubine Yi. She looked as if she had met an unforgivable villain.
"Mother, I thought that my younger sister, the concubine, would agree, so I ordered someone to bring Hongqi here. I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't expect that my younger sister, the concubine, would disagree." Naren did not answer Jiang Ranli's words, but explained to Concubine Yi.
Her words made the already furious Concubine Yi even more furious. What she wanted most was to see Yin'er have many children and grandchildren. Jiang Ranli's behavior made her feel that Yin'er would have few children and that having many children and grandchildren would never come true.
"An Jia, I thought you were sensible and obedient, but I didn't expect you to be so disappointing. How could the Ninth Prince fall for a woman like you who is as vicious as a snake?" Concubine Yi pointed at Jiang Ranli with disappointment in her eyes.
At this moment, Jiang Ranli's eyes were also full of disappointment.
