The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 78 You Win the Bet
Jiang Qingyue opened her red hijab and sat quietly on the bed until someone else came in and this person held her hands.

"You won the bet." Shen Shuning's voice trembled, "He really let go."

Jiang Qingyue threw herself into Shen Shuning's arms and hugged her tightly.

From the moment he broke into the wedding room, came to her, and threw her phoenix crown, she thought Shen Xiao was here to rob her and wanted to take her to the palace and imprison her.

Fortunately, the rest of his life has been reborn since then.

Shen Shuning said: "Speaking of which, what do you think of my twelfth brother?"

Jiang Qingyue said honestly: "Brother."

Shen Shuning was speechless.

She didn't ask any more questions and talked about the business: "When Zhang Yunhui finds out who King Xuan married, he will probably understand who Zhang Zhiye brought home, and then he will no longer be looking for someone in the city. People. Zhang Shulan’s incident was a source of worry before, but with two happy events in the family, Sun Hongling’s troubles have long since passed.”

Jiang Qingyue said: "Will Liu Qingshu no longer sit back and wait for death?"

The Liu and Zhang clans were already in turmoil, and she would never continue to remain indifferent and sit idly by in the harem.

Shen Shuning nodded, "Yes, she plans to compete with Zhang Shuting for the position of queen."

……

Sun Hongling had not gone out for a while because of her daughter Shulan's incident, but when she saw Shuting being concubine, she got the imperial concubine, and her back became tougher again.

Jiang Qingyue sat in the private room of Xunfang Pavilion.

Only separated by a screen, Sun Hongling's proud laughter could be heard clearly: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense. We are not seeking those false reputations. The noble concubine and the emperor also have true feelings. As long as they are in love, I will be happy!"

Zhang Zhiye said loudly from the side: "Mom, you are being humble. The emperor cherishes his sister so much that he even gave her the title of mother for her sake. No wonder my father said that our family is going to have a queen!"

There was a moment of silence.

What kind of place is this? This is Xunfang Pavilion, a place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather when they have nothing to do. Each private room is only separated by a screen, and others can clearly hear what is said.

His lofty talk blatantly involved the position of the queen, how could it not attract people's attention.

Sun Hongling said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did your father say that? Your sister has never thought about the lower position!"

She was also unlucky today. She met this bastard at the door of Xunfang Pavilion. Zhang Zhiye called her mother, and so many people were watching, so she had no choice but to take Zhang Zhiye to the banquet together.

But no matter how stern she was, others only remembered a little bit.

Now that the imperial concubine is going to be the emperor, the Duke of Zhenguo has received the news, and the Marquis of Yongchang has made it clear.

Jiang Qingyue smiled and tasted the pine nut and lily cake. This snack was a specialty of Xunfang Pavilion and she had loved it in the past.

In the private room next door, Zhang Zhiye said with a look of knowing he was wrong: "My son made a mistake. Mother just calm down and my son shuts up!"

Sun Hongling was furious, but she couldn't continue to scold her and asked others to see her family's joke.

She glanced at Zhang Zhiye, then looked around at the ladies at the table, and smiled awkwardly: "Our Zhiyi is used to talking nonsense, so don't take it seriously."

Mrs. Duan, the wife of the Minister of Rites, sat beside her with a calm smile: "Mrs. Zhenguo, you treat us too much as outsiders. We have already heard that the emperor intends to make the imperial concubine his queen. This Who else in the city doesn’t know this?”

Another wife of the Vice Minister of Zhongshu was the first to congratulate: "Congratulations to Mrs. Zhenguo first."

Others at the table also echoed: "Congratulations, Mrs. Zhenguo!"

Sun Hongling felt a little smug when she heard their congratulations. Indeed, who else could the position of queen go to?
But she did not lose her sense of proportion after all, and reminded her again and again: "The matter has not yet been decided. Sisters, please don't talk nonsense. It is a great blessing for Shuting to be named a noble concubine. Our family really has no reason to think more and let others listen." Go ahead and think we are too ambitious."

The words were useless.

After leaving the private room and going down the stairs, there were still people congratulating Sun Hongling loudly.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Zhenguo!" "Congratulations!"

After listening too much, Sun Hongling became a little erratic.

Could it be that the emperor really released the news that he would make Shuting his queen?

She was dealing with the congratulations of others when suddenly Mrs. Duan beside her said: "Isn't that Princess Xuan?"

Sun Hongling followed Mrs. Duan's line of sight, and Jiang Qingyue was also looking towards her.

The moment their eyes met, Sun Hongling moved her eyes away and quickened her pace to go out.

Jiang Qingyue blocked her way.

The expressions on the faces of the ladies beside Sun Hongling were a little strange. Not only were they strange, but they also had a sense of curiosity about watching a show.

How many people don’t know about the unbearable past between Jiang Qingyue’s mother, Lu Yunjin, and Zhang Yunhui?
As Zhang Yunhui's legal wife, how should Sun Hongling deal with Lu Yunjin's daughter now?

"Mrs. Zhenguo," Jiang Qingyue greeted her, "Long time no see."

The tone was normal.

In this case, Sun Hongling stood gracefully in front of her, with a kind smile on her face: "It's Qingyue. She has become more and more beautiful after not seeing her for several years. I almost didn't recognize her."

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said: "Mrs. Zhenguo is the same. I haven't seen much difference in a few years. Time is not forgiving."

An almost invisible crack appeared on Sun Hongling's dignified face.

She is extremely concerned about her age and appearance, and uses precious medicines to nourish her skin every day. Outsiders praise her for still looking like a young woman, but Jiang Qingyue says that time is not forgiving...

Sun Hongling coughed slightly and said warmly: "Yes, every woman will grow old."

She, Jiang Qingyue, will always have this day, just wait and see.

Jiang Qingyue didn't care about her words and continued: "I heard that Marquis Yongchang is usually at Chunfengxuan these days. Is Mrs. Zhenguo out to look for him?"

Chunfengxuan is the largest brothel in Jinling City.

Sun Hongling smiled awkwardly again, "Prince Xuan is also a frequent visitor to Chunfengxuan. It was Prince Xuan who told you about my Marquis."

She thought to herself: My men visit brothels, and so do your men. No one is better than the other.

"Yes," Jiang Qingyue said calmly, "The prince and I talk about everything."

Sun Hongling found it interesting and took the initiative to hold her hand.

"You are a person whose engagement has been annulled. It is your blessing that King Xuan is willing to treat you like this."

Jiang Qingyue held her hand back affectionately, and sighed in front of everyone: "It's a pity, Mrs. Zhenguo, that you were so infatuated with the Marquis. Who could know that the Marquis failed to marry him to his liking?" The woman, Mrs. Zhenguo, did you take action? You have put a lot of thought into the Marquis, but I am in love, but I have no intention of doing so."

Sun Hongling suddenly withdrew her hand.

She looked around, and everyone else looked away in embarrassment.

"Jiang Qingyue, what are you talking about?!"

Jiang Qingyue covered her mouth, pretending to be surprised: "Why, doesn't the Marquis know about this?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Sun Hongling blushed, "My husband and I were married by the late emperor. I never..."

"What woman would admit such a thing? Are you right?" Jiang Qingyue bit her tongue and said word by word, "Mrs. Zhenguo."
