Chapter 360 Grace
Chapter 360 Grace
The emperor spent the night with Concubine Xi again, but he did not hear her calling for water in the middle of the night.
It can be seen that the emperor did not touch Concubine Xi.
This made everyone in the harem dumbfounded. What on earth was going on with the emperor?
You say he doesn't like it, but he is with Xi Cairen almost the whole day.
You say he likes it, but he refuses to sleep with Xi Cairen.
However, in the next two or three days, the emperor would still accompany Concubine Xi every day, but he would not sleep with her.
Shen Yueqing was eagerly waiting for the emperor's favor, but this emperor seemed to be welded to Concubine Xi.
They couldn't even see the emperor, let alone be favored by him.
Shen Yueqing was naturally anxious, but there was nothing she could do but write a letter to her parents' home.
The second wife of the Shen family was extremely angry after reading the contents of the letter.
She concluded that Xi Cairen was deliberately sent by Jiang Sujin to check and balance her daughter.
She was just afraid that her daughter would gain favor and ascend to the throne and become the Queen.
She just couldn't stand seeing their family doing well, and she concluded that Jiang Sujin was bad.
The second aunt became more and more angry the more she thought about it, so she went straight to find Jiang Sujin.
Jiang Sujin was admiring the plum blossoms in the yard when her second aunt came over angrily.
"Niece-in-law, you seem to be quite comfortable now!" Second Aunt said sarcastically with a red face.
Jiang Sujin glanced at Second Aunt, then put the hot water bottle in her hand directly on the table.
"What happened to Second Aunt?"
Second Aunt suppressed her anger and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that Qingqing wrote a letter today. Concubine Xi has monopolized the emperor's favor. She can't even see the emperor."
Jiang Sujin: "And then?"
Second Aunt looked at her with a red face and said, "This Xi Cairen is my niece's cousin. I think you need to write a letter to Xi Cairen and tell her not to monopolize the emperor."
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but sneered when she heard this: "I'll go write a letter to Xi Cairen. Second Aunt, who am I? Do I have the right to control who the emperor favors?"
Second Aunt: "Isn't Concubine Xi yours? Since you can arrange for her to enter the palace, she will listen to whatever you say."
Jiang Sujin: "Why should I ask Xi Cairen not to show me favor?"
Second Aunt: "You are a member of the Shen family. Our Shen family has a high position in the palace, which is beneficial to the Shen family."
"Don't forget, you have two sons."
Jiang Sujin: "My son must be capable and worthy of the emperor's appreciation, so that he can rise to prominence."
Second Aunt: "But you have to know that no matter how capable you are, it won't work if you don't have someone in the harem that the emperor appreciates."
"Not only the concubines, but also the future princes. The princes will be able to ascend the throne in the future."
Jiang Sujin raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Second Aunt, are you planning to take over the Emperor's throne?"
When Second Aunt heard this, her face turned pale with fear: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm talking about the prince."
Jiang Sujin: "First, my eldest son can inherit the title of Prince of Yong'an, and my second son can inherit our gold, silver and treasures."
"What we give them is enough for them to live a life of luxury."
"Secondly, isn't there already a talented person named Xi?"
Second Aunt: "You...you are still counting on her. If she really becomes successful in the future, she will help her family!"
Jiang Sujin: "Her biological mother has long passed away, and she is not close to her stepmother. Do you think she will help her own family?"
"If she wants to gain a foothold in the palace, she will only cling to me, the big tree, tightly."
Second Aunt: "So you just don't plan to support the Shen family?"
Jiang Sujin looked at her and raised her lips and said, "Support the Shen family? Judging from Second Aunt's anxious attitude now, if you really gain power, how could you still have eyes for people like us?"
When Second Aunt heard this, her expression instantly became even uglier.
"But no matter what, Qingqing is a member of our Shen family!"
Jiang Sujin looked at her with a sullen face and said, "Let me tell you this, Qingqing, you'd better not be favored. Her arrogant problem is exactly the same as yours."
"If she really gets the upper hand, she will offend His Majesty without knowing the consequences."
"By then, maybe the Shen family will be implicated by her."
Second Aunt's eyes widened as she said, "It's fine if you don't want to help, but how can you curse Qingqing?"
Jiang Sujin: "If you really want to help your daughter, then let her wait patiently."
"She is a daughter of the Shen family. The emperor will give her some face just for the sake of the Shen family."
"If you think I'm cursing you, you can figure it out on your own and just don't bother me."
Second Aunt looked at Jiang Sujin with an unpleasant expression. She didn't expect that she would be so disrespectful to her.
She had already planned not to rely on Qingqing, so she deliberately arranged for her cousin to get close to the emperor.
Now she is letting her cousin snatch her daughter's favor. It is so abominable.
No wonder the old lady was so picky about her, and the deceased eldest lady was also so picky about her. She is really not a good person.
Second Aunt finally left Jiang Sujin's yard with a gloomy face, and then went to the old man to complain.
Second Aunt cried for a long time in front of the old man, but the old man was old after all, so he couldn't support her.
Seeing that no one was taking care of the matter, Second Aunt joined forces with Second Master of the Shen Family and went to find Shen Changfeng.
Shen Changfeng has always attached great importance to family. In addition, he has high expectations for his niece and has always hoped that his family can produce another queen.
So when he heard about this, he was so angry that he slammed the table.
Jiang Sujin was watching the children playing games with Shen Yanfeng when the servants came hurriedly.
"My Lord and Madam, the Master invites you to come over."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanfeng frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"
"I don't know either, but it seems like the Second Madam is there!"
When Jiang Sujin heard this, she knew that Second Aunt must be so angry that she went to complain.
"I know what's going on."
"What's going on?" Shen Yanfeng asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Jiang Sujin: "Let's go first. I'll talk to you on the way."
Shen Yanfeng frowned, then stood up.
The two chatted along the way and arrived at Shen Changfeng's yard.
At this time, not only the second brother's family, but also the third brother's family were called over.
As soon as Jiang Sujin and Shen Yanfeng entered, they felt the low pressure inside.
Shen Changfeng looked at Jiang Sujin with a dark face and said, "Sujin, your second aunt has told me everything."
"The matter has come to this. I am not going to punish you. You just need to give me a way to make up for it now."
"You must make sure that Qingqing is favored by the Emperor."
Shen Yanfeng: "Dad, what are you talking about? No matter what Susu thinks, she can't tell the emperor to do anything!"
Shen Changfeng: "Did I talk to you, little bastard?"
Jiang Sujin: "Father is really forcing me. The most fundamental reason why Qingqing is not favored by the emperor is because her appearance is not outstanding and she failed to impress the emperor."
"What can I do to remedy this situation? I can't just change her appearance, right?"
After she said this, the faces of Second Aunt and Second Uncle instantly became extremely ugly.
