Chapter 370 Brother's Death and Brother's Death 9
When Concubine Jing came to the Golden Palace with the blood swallows given by the Empress Dowager, Jiang Chunxi was accompanying the emperor inside.
"It's moving again," the emperor put his hand on Jiang Chunxi's belly and said with a happy smile, "He's so active, he must be a boy."
"Your Majesty is partial," Jiang Chunxi said coquettishly, "According to what your Majesty meant, if the child in my belly is a princess, would your Majesty not like it?"
"Humph! Your Majesty is clearly favoring boys over girls?"
"You!" The emperor pinched Jiang Chunxi's nose with amusement, "I didn't say anything, but you accused me of favoring boys over girls. If it weren't for your pregnancy, I would definitely punish you severely."
"Your Majesty is the one who can't bear to do it." Jiang Chunxi leaned on the emperor and said, "Your Majesty likes me so much, how could he be willing to punish me? Anyway, I don't care, Your Majesty must pamper me. Even if I really did something wrong, Your Majesty is not allowed to punish me, otherwise I will never care about Your Majesty again."
"You are simply being spoiled by your favor, aren't you?" Although he said this, the emperor was not angry. "Okay, okay, can't I do whatever you want? As long as you give birth to the baby in your belly, and as long as you don't make any serious mistakes, I won't punish you for anything."
It is undeniable that the emperor really likes Jiang Chunxi, but that is all. No matter how much he likes Jiang Chunxi, he will not lose his mind because of doting on a woman.
Just look at the Queen's fate and you will know. After all, the Queen is still the Emperor's true love.
Although this true love was a bit watery, it was much more important than his love for Jiang Chunxi. But the emperor still deposed the queen.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is outside asking for an audience." Just then, the eunuch outside came in and reported:
The smile on the emperor's face immediately faded. After all, he really didn't know how to face Concubine Jing now. But after all, she was the one he loved in his heart, so the emperor still let Concubine Jing in.
Jiang Chunxi hurried to get up, but was stopped by the emperor: "You are pregnant, just sit down."
Since the emperor had said so, Jiang Chunxi would naturally not refuse hypocritically. So when Concubine Jing came in, she saw the emperor and Jiang Chunxi sitting together intimately.
This naturally made Concubine Jing feel very uncomfortable. Although she did not love the emperor, she was greatly benefited by the emperor's preference for her over the years.
Therefore, seeing that the emperor favored other women, it would be strange for Concubine Jing to feel good.
"May Your Majesty be blessed with good health." Concubine Jing bowed to the Emperor and said:
"Get up!" the emperor said in a light voice:
"Empress Jing, I'm sorry I can't stand up and salute you," Jiang Chunxi stroked her belly and looked at Concubine Jing provocatively. "After all, I'm pregnant, so it's really inconvenient for me to stand up and salute you. I don't think Empress Jing will mind!"
"Of course not," Concubine Jing could only endure it no matter how much she gnashed her teeth in her heart, "Sister is pregnant with the heir to the throne, let alone not paying respects to me, even if she doesn't pay respects to the emperor, it's probably nothing, so why would I bother with sister?"
What Concubine Jing meant was that Jiang Chunxi relied on her pregnancy to not only ignore her but also the emperor. In short, she was so proud that she became arrogant.
"I have already exempted Concubine Jiang from the formalities," the emperor said, "What does Concubine Jing want to see me for? If not, please leave!"
The Emperor had no way of getting over what Concubine Jing had done, so he naturally stood on Jiang Chunxi's side. Moreover, among the many heirs to the throne who had been lost, only the baby in Jiang Chunxi's belly had been saved, which made the baby in Concubine Jiang's belly particularly precious.
Therefore, the emperor would only feel annoyed by Concubine Jing's provocative words, and there was no way he would take her provocative words to heart.
Concubine Jing secretly hated him, but she didn't dare to lose her temper. "I just went to Ningshou Palace, and my mother asked me to bring a bowl of blood swallows to the emperor."
"Empress Jing is no longer the Queen. Isn't it too presumptuous to call the Queen Mother "Mother"? Jiang Chunxi said:
"Jiang concubine, you are so insolent," Concubine Jing could no longer hold back. "Although I am no longer the queen, I am not someone you, a concubine, can challenge. Don't think that you can commit crimes against your superiors just because you are pregnant with the heir to the throne. You keep challenging me again and again."
For a woman like Concubine Jing, who had always been flattered, it was already good enough that she could endure Jiang Chunxi's provocation just now. How could she allow others to ignore her again and again?
"There is nothing wrong with what Concubine Jiang said. How can you say that Concubine Jiang is committing a crime against you?" Although he said this, the emperor still felt soft-hearted towards Concubine Jing, so he said to Jiang Chunxi, "I will have someone send you back. I will go to your palace later to have dinner with you."
"Then Your Majesty must keep his word and don't let me down." Jiang Chunxi decided to stop while she was ahead, and after she finished speaking, she stood up and left.
"Your Majesty, do you really hate me so much now?" As soon as Jiang Fei left, Jing Fei burst into tears. "Since you hate me so much now, why do you want to let me out? It would be better to lock me up for the rest of my life, so that I don't have to endure such heart-wrenching pain."
"You helped Concubine Jiang to humiliate me. Do you know how much it hurts my heart?" Concubine Jing pointed at her chest. "I feel like there is a big hole in my heart. It hurts so much that I can't breathe."
"Your Majesty, how can you be so cruel to me!" Concubine Jing slowly collapsed to the ground. "Even if I did something wrong, the beautiful feelings we once had were all fake. So how can you help other women to humiliate me? You might as well just kill me."
"You still have the nerve to blame me," the emperor said sullenly, "If it weren't for our childhood sweetheart relationship, do you think you can still stand in front of me now? As for Concubine Jiang..."
"Ha!" The emperor sneered, "Jiang Concubine's baby was almost gone before, so what's wrong with Jiang Concubine's behavior towards you just now? She is not a Bodhisattva. Facing the culprit who almost made her lose her child, she just provoked you with a few words. To put it bluntly, this is already good enough for you."
"But you, on the other hand, actually feel that Jiangpin is humiliating you and have no guilt towards Jiangpin at all. You make me wonder if I made a mistake in releasing you."
"I didn't," Jing Fei cried out, "I did do something wrong, but I didn't harm the baby in Jiang Fei's belly, let alone the other heirs."
