rich concubine

Chapter 373 Same birthday, different fates

Rong Yi has been thinking, if the Miss Lu family comes, what name will she use? She can't just say it's for me, right?

Young ladies and young men from wealthy families, although they understand some things tacitly, they cannot say them outright. One is to take care of their respective faces, and the other is that if things don't work out, it won't be too embarrassing if they meet again in the future.

It wasn't until June 20 that Rong Yi knew that the eldest princess's birthday would be in [-] days.

It stands to reason that if she said she didn't know about something as big as the birthday of the eldest princess, she would be a bit pretentious, but Rong Yi definitely didn't know. These days were very solemn for Zhaoyiyuan, and Fuling didn't even smile. .

It was not clear yet whether Rong Yi was new here, but later I found out that it turned out that the birthday of the eldest princess was also the birthday of her mother-in-law.

No one has ever said that the mother-in-law and the eldest princess were born on the same day. The strange thing is that they have never heard of the eldest princess hosting a birthday party in these years. This is the original reason.

Poria also revealed a little secret to Rong Yi. Every year on June [-]th, the prince would lock himself in the study room to remember his deceased wife.

After hearing this, Rong Yi didn't know what to think. She didn't know whether she should admire the prince's infatuation or feel sad for the eldest princess.

On her birthday, her husband not only did not accompany her, but also remembered his late wife. How could someone as arrogant as her endure this?

Fu Ling also said: "I have been serving you for so many years, but I can't see this palace clearly. I used to think that the eldest princess was affectionate for the prince, but they always looked at each other coldly and raised their eyes. It seemed that they were treating each other with respect, but in fact they were more like two people. He is a stranger, and seems to have some personal vendetta mixed in with him."

Rong Yi frowned slightly, thinking of the cheerful young man like the wind, and couldn't help but said: "The prince and the eldest princess must be in love, right? Master Yi is already so old."

Fu Ling pursed her lips, spread her hands and said: "I don't know about this. I only know that the only people your prince cares about are you and the first lady. You have to remember that in front of the eldest princess, don't mention the first lady, especially It’s very taboo these days.”

Rong Yi nodded, even if Poria had not said this, Rong Yi would not be stupid enough to advance his mistress in front of the eldest princess.

Rong Yi had always heard about Jiang Shunxiao's mother, and had always admired her after hearing her stories.

It's just that when people die, they should pity the people in front of them. She understands this principle, but the prince doesn't understand?
What happened in their time and how earth-shattering was the relationship between them?So much so that after all this time, the prince still misses his mother-in-law.

But there's one thing Rong Yi can't figure out.

Since the prince could never forget his mother-in-law, why did he take in so many concubines?
If you really love someone, why would you want to get involved with anyone else?

In fact, there has always been a puzzle in Rong Yi's heart, and that is why a man keeps taking concubines while he keeps saying he loves a woman. In her heart, the Duke of Guo and Mrs. Qin are good examples. They really love each other. We know each other, but our feelings have not faded away after so many years.

No one has taught Rong Yi about relationships, but she feels in her heart that the best form of love should be like that between Duke Qin and Mrs. Qin.

"What are you thinking?"

The question drifted to her ears, but Rong Yi didn't pay much attention and said without thinking: "I just want you to say that the prince loves his mother-in-law very much, so why does he have so many concubines?"

After asking, the air became quiet. Rong Yi paused for a while before she realized something was wrong. She looked up and saw Jiang Shunxiao beside her, looking at her deeply.

There was a thump in her heart, and Rong Yi knew she had made a mistake, so she laughed dryly, stood up quickly and said, "Why are you back?" Jiang Shunxiao pursed her thin lips, pressed her shoulders with his hands and asked her to sit down, and he also sat next to her. , glanced at Crystal Boy on the table, his eyes flickered, and he asked her in an unclear tone: "You want to know about my mother?"

Rong Yi looked at him nervously, swallowed her saliva, and stiffened her neck, not knowing whether to nod or shake her head. Curiosity told her to do it, but reason told her not to.

Fu Ling went out at some point. She clearly told her not to mention her mother-in-law in front of him if nothing happened, but why did he catch her.

Nowadays, no one is giving her advice, and Rong Yi is really afraid that if she says something wrong, she will be unhappy.

Meeting her nervous gaze, Jiang Shunxiao sighed slightly and pushed the tea cup in front of her. Rong Yi hurriedly poured a cup of tea for him and handed it to him.

After drinking it in one sip, he clicked his tongue and said, "I'm in a good mood today. If you want to hear the part, I'll tell it to you."

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that there was indeed no displeasure on his face and that he was still a little relaxed, she couldn't hold it back and asked boldly: "I want to know how my mother-in-law and the prince met, and what is their relationship like?"

What others say is a bit untrue, but the person in front of you is also a person involved, so asking him is more truthful.

Jiang Shunxiao played with the porcelain cup, his eyes drooped slightly, blocking the light in his eyes, and said slowly: "My father and mother... In my memory, they are very loving. No one loves my father more than my mother. No one loves my mother more than my father."

A grown man loses his majestic air when talking about love and love, especially a martial artist like Jiang Shunxiao, whose appearance has nothing to do with the world of mortals, but the stories that come out of his mouth are particularly special. It makes people intoxicated and deeply involved.

By the time he finished speaking, Rong Yi had tears in her eyes, and her eyes felt a little pitiful. Most women are emotional. She heard that Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were so loving, but God just took her away. Seeing such a young Mother Jiang, she was quite upset.

Even though Mother Jiang received great honors after her death, when a person dies, she is dead, and when she dies, she no longer has anything. People’s concerns and feelings all follow her departure. After a long period of baptism, a Little by little it fades.

Feeling really uncomfortable, Rong Yi sobbed and said, "If you love your mother-in-law so much, why do you want to marry me again?" After saying that, Rong Yi reflected on herself and said, "It is true that the prince will marry the elder. The princess may have had no choice but to do so, as this involves too much, let’s not mention it, but why are there so many concubines in the courtyard?”

Jiang Shunxiao looked into her eyes, his heart skipped a beat, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and whispered: "Because, all the concubines in the courtyard have the shadow of their mother."

Rong Yi choked and paused for a long time, looking at him in surprise with confusion in her eyes.

What does it really look like to love someone?Rong Yi didn't experience it personally, and couldn't express her feelings, but it was hard to imagine what kind of love it was that made the prince look for the shadow of his mother-in-law again and again, and found one or two. Can it really fill the vacancy in his heart?If it can be filled up, how can there be a house full of concubines?

He said that every time the prince took a concubine, he would lock himself in the study for a whole day. No one knew what he did in the study, and it was definitely not a good thing.
