As soon as He Ying's mother and daughter left, Chu Lian turned to look at He Sanlang with a smile, his moist almond eyes blinked, making He Sanlang's heart itch when he looked at him with a cold and hard face.
He rolled his throat, put down the spoon in his hand, and asked solemnly, "What's wrong?"
Then Chu Lian let out a crisp laugh, "I didn't expect you to be very good."
He Sanlang felt that what his wife said was nonsense, when was he not good enough
Even so, he was still in high spirits because of Chu Lian's praise.
He snorted arrogantly, "Now you know how powerful your husband is?"
Chu Lian smiled, it was rare that he didn't refute him this time, "Yes, I just know. You are so powerful, I will listen to you in everything from now on."
At this time, Nanny Zhong brought a bowl of soup with her mouth raised, "Third Grandma, drink the soup."
After drinking for several days, Chu Lian felt like vomiting when she smelled the tonic soup. She got up to leave, but He Sanlang grabbed her slender wrist.
"Drink the soup, don't you remember what you said just now?"
Chu Lian really wanted to find a piece of tofu to kill her, and it was really "the misfortune came from her mouth", why did she listen to He Changdi for everything in a twitch!
She is digging a hole and jumping by herself!
There was no other way, and she didn't take it for granted, so she could only frown and drank the soup in one gulp.
Inside the Jiuzhong Palace, even after nightfall, it is still magnificent and magnificent.
The highest hall here is a symbol of power.
As soon as King Jin came out of Qinzheng Hall, a eunuch ran over with a smile.
King Jin's blue eyes fell on the eunuch, showing no emotion.
The eunuch was cheerful, and when he ran in front of King Jin, he gave a deep salute first, and then said warmly: "Your Highness, Concubine Liang, please go over and have dinner!"
This father-in-law, dressed in a dark red eunuch uniform, is Concubine Liang's confidant. His name is Liu Buyong. He is almost forty years old. He grew up with King Jin.
King Jin didn't answer immediately, he stood on the white marble steps outside Qinzheng Hall, looking down at Liu Buyong who already had wrinkles on his face.
Liu Buyong suddenly felt a chill down his spine, with a trace of panic and confusion on his face, wondering why the always gentle Fourth Highness suddenly became puzzling.
Just when Liu Buyong couldn't hold back his gaze, he suddenly heard the voice of His Royal Highness King Jin.
"Lead the way."
As soon as the voice fell, Liu Buyong felt that the tight strings of the whole portrait were relaxed, and his high-pitched heart also fell. He wanted to confirm the emotions of the Fourth Highness, but he didn't dare to look at it because of lingering fear. His Highness the Fourth Highness had no choice but to bow his head to lead the way for His Highness the Fourth Highness.
When he got to the entrance of Chengxiang Hall, King Jin saw a long and thin figure standing in the corridor from afar.
The man's back was facing the gate of the Chengxiang Hall, and the hazy yellow light came from behind him, as if it had coated him with a warm halo, but it was too dark to see his face and expression clearly. .
This shadow King Jin is all too familiar. It is the second prince who grew up with him. No, he has already inherited the position of the crown prince after the death of the eldest brother of the prince, which is the current East Palace.
Usually at this time, he would definitely go up to meet him immediately, and then call out to Second Brother affectionately, but this time, he couldn't call out anymore.
Who would have thought that the good concubine he admired as his own mother would be the real murderer who killed his mother and concubine!
His mother concubine and concubine Liang are first cousins!
Jin Wang Qingbi's eyes flashed, and he remembered every detail of getting along with Concubine Liang for so many years.
If he hadn't personally investigated the big case in Zhangzhou, he would never have suspected Concubine Liang.
When he was young, he lost his mother, and it was Concubine Liang who begged the emperor to bring him here and raise him under her own name. The second brother was only two years older than him. When the children were fighting for favor, Concubine Liang treated him better than the second brother. Even better, he also taught the second elder brother that he is a younger brother, and he should give in to him in everything.
The second elder brother was dissatisfied with him many times because of this, thinking that he took away the favor of Concubine Liang.
Every time the father rewards something good, Concubine Liang will let him choose first, and the rest will be the second brother's turn.
He was grateful for this kindness, and even when he was older and more sensible, he kept helping his second brother.
Even the position of the crown prince was managed by him for the second brother.
The second prince's qualifications are mediocre. Without his help, after the eldest brother of the prince died of an illness, the position of the crown prince would fall on his head
Originally, he never thought about the supreme position, and only hoped that his second brother would ascend the throne, and he would be able to retire after success.
But knowing this, his heart was already cold.
When the second elder brother ascends the throne and Concubine Liang becomes the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid he will be the first person to be destroyed!
Liu Buyong beside him saw that King Jin had been standing still for quite a while, so he boldly reminded: "Your Highness, it's cold outside, you'd better go in quickly, His Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting for you under the eaves!"
King Jin was brought back to his senses by Liu Buyong's words, his face remained unchanged, but he walked into Chengxiang Hall.
After being reminded by the servant next to him, the prince turned his head and looked at King Jin who was walking from a distance.
A flash of resentment flashed in the prince's eyes, and he hid it well.
When King Jin came to the prince and bent down to salute, he was helped up by the prince.
"Fourth brother and I, why are you being polite, let's go, come in quickly, my concubine is waiting impatiently, I heard from Liu Buyong that tonight's dishes are all cooked by my concubine herself, I can't wait to try her concubine's Craftsmanship!"
King Jin was dragged into the main hall of Chengxiang Hall by the crown prince.
More than a dozen palace lanterns were lit on both sides of the main hall, illuminating the entire Chengxiang Hall as bright as day.
Sitting on the soft couch at the top of the main hall is a kind and thin middle-aged woman. She is wearing a simple patterned Chu-color palace dress, and a emerald five-phoenix hairpin on her head. The tassels hang down to her temples, shaking slightly. Added a touch of anger to the woman.
The woman's complexion was slightly pale, with curved eyebrows and long eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin red lips. At first glance, she looked like a gentle and gentle lady.
Although his complexion was not good, it did not cover much of the woman's splendor and beauty.
This luxurious but elegant woman is the concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang sat cross-legged on the couch, her eyes fell on the door, when she saw the crown prince and King Jin walking in together, her eyes lit up, she stood up happily and went to greet her personally.
"Ah Sheng, Ayi, I'm finally expecting you all to come, come, let me have a good look, but I haven't seen Ayi for many days."
Concubine Liang's eyes were full of kindness, and she looked Jin Wang up and down carefully, with tears in her eyes.
The crown prince was left on the sidelines. If someone who didn't know saw this situation, he would think that the fourth prince was the biological son of Concubine Liang!
From an angle invisible to others, the prince looked at King Jin with jealousy.
"He's taller and thinner. Ayi must have suffered a lot outside. It's because of my mother and concubine's fault. She couldn't stop your father from letting him give you such a hard job." He was actually sad when he said that. Tears began to flow.
