Doting on concubines and destroying wives?Come back and spread your family's ashes

Chapter 144 Lin Qingxue fell into the water on purpose

This small banquet was very lively, and many ladies were keeping an eye on every suitable person for their children.

Of course, the imperial concubine is no exception.

At this time, she looked very fond of Chu Yueru, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Miss Chu is dignified and beautiful, with a gentle personality, and her talents are famous in the capital. Many young men are attracted to her.

It's just that Prime Minister Chu and his wife love their daughter very much, and they have never been willing to marry their daughter, saying that they want to keep her daughter for a few more years.

In fact, the biggest reason why the imperial concubine likes Miss Chu is because of her identity.

The Prime Minister of Chu was the head of the civil servants of Chu. He had a high reputation in the court and had many disciples.

Several sons of the Chu family also held important positions in the court and were extremely powerful.

If Gu Junqi marries Chu Yueru, he will have the support of most of the civil servants in the court.

In the fight with the prince, he would not fall behind, and might even gain the upper hand.

Therefore, even during the banquet, Chu Yueru was taken care of and attentive to.

This appearance made many people feel something different in their hearts. It seemed that the imperial concubine valued the young lady of the Chu family.

However, Lin Jinglan was a little dissatisfied. The Chu family's foundation in the government and the public was indeed very strong, and its status was deep enough.

But this family is upright and upright, and they have never sought power or wealth.

So he never thought about marrying his daughter into the palace.

The Chu family doesn't need these at all.

Therefore, even though the imperial concubine was equally good in her previous life, she still did not let the second prince marry Chu Yueru.

"Sister, I'm a little tired. I really can't join in the fun anymore, so I'm going back to rest. My sister has a birthday today, so I must be happy."

At this moment, the queen suddenly said something to the noble concubine, her expression was calm and gentle, and there was a faint hint of fatigue in her eyes.

"Okay, then Queen, please go back quickly and have a good rest."

Before the imperial concubine could say anything, the emperor spoke, looking at the empress with some worry.

"Then I will accompany you."

Princess Jin also stood up and helped the queen to leave.

After all, it was not a formal banquet, and the emperor did not stay here all the time. After doing it for a while, he went to the imperial study room with King Jin.

"Everyone, please enjoy the scenery and chat. The noble concubine must greet your guests."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know this well."

The imperial concubine smiled softly and said softly.

Although she is already in her 30s, she is well-maintained and looks like she was in her early twenties, with the charm that a mature woman should have.

No wonder she has been favored by the emperor for so many years. She really has some capital of her own.

After the emperor and empress left, the heavy and solemn atmosphere here suddenly relaxed a little.

The imperial concubine seemed to know this, so she smiled and said, "Let everyone do as they please. Today we are just joining in the fun, and we must return home having a good time."

"Jinglan, let's go over there. The lake view is pretty good today."

The fifth princess also felt bored, so she took Lin Jinglan and Mo Yuling towards the pavilion by the lake not far from the Imperial Garden.

Lin Jinglan smiled and was pulled away by the fifth princess.

Just before leaving, I took another look at Lin Qingxue.

As expected, Lin Qingxue's eyes were fixed on the second prince, Gu Junqi, with eyes determined to win, as if she would get Gu Junqi no matter what.

Much like what she thought, Lin Qingxue really had that thought.If that's the case, then you don't have to do anything more and just let them develop.

"Yueru, come and sit next to me. I have something I want to tell you."

At this time, the imperial concubine looked at Chu Yueru with a smile, and asked her to sit next to her in an affectionate manner.

Lin Qingxue didn't care about this and just focused on the second prince. When the second prince went to chat with several young masters, he also left the place quietly.

Not knowing what Lin Qingxue would do, Lin Jinglan ignored her. At this moment, she was sitting by the lake, feeling the breeze blowing from the lake, and listening to the chattering words of the fifth princess and Mo Yuling beside her.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously, and his mood relaxed a little unconsciously.

"Jinglan, didn't you hear what we said? Don't you even want to care about Junheng?"

The fifth princess suddenly patted Lin Jinglan and said this.

Gu Junheng?

At the mention of this name, Lin Jinglan's brows frowned unconsciously.

She asked Zi Ling to send someone to pay attention to Gu Junheng's news, but after these days, she still didn't know anything about Gu Junheng's current situation.

Whether they have reached the Western Territory or not, the war has already begun.

She shook her head slightly, not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't know Gu Junheng's situation now.

"Are you still concerned about Gu Junheng's sudden departure on the wedding day?"

Every time she thought of this, the fifth princess felt helpless.

"Actually, there is nothing we can do about it. The Western Territory is in danger, but I don't know what my father asked his dandy disciple to do. Should he die? Don't let my brother, the crown prince, protect him when the time comes."

When it comes to this, not only the fifth princess has an opinion, but also Mo Yuling disagrees.

"That's right. Even if Prince Jun goes, what role can he play? It's better to stay in the capital. At least he will be safe."

But looking back, Jun Heng shook his head again.

The two of them were confused and didn't quite understand what she meant by shaking her head.

"Gu Junheng is very good. He will definitely be useful in the Western Region."

Of course, this was said very euphemistically.

Lin Jinglan knew Gu Junheng's methods and abilities very well. When he went to the Western Region, he might play a greater role than the prince.

The emperor and Prince Jin obviously understood this, otherwise they would not have ordered Gu Junheng to leave immediately, not even in time for the wedding ceremony.

"Okay, okay, it seems that you have Prince Jun in your heart now. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, no matter what, it is good."

Mo Yuling joked, and the fifth princess also laughed.

However, Lin Jinglan's own heart suddenly shook. Did she have different feelings for Gu Junheng?
No, how could she fall in love with a man again? Wasn't she hurt enough in her previous life?
Lin Jinglan kept talking to herself in her heart, and her expression slowly calmed down.

When they were about to talk again, they suddenly felt a lot of movement on the other side of the lake.

Turning around, he saw several women, who seemed to be Xu Huaian's sister from Prince Zhao's palace, Lin Qingxue, and even Chu Yueru.

The few people seemed to be arguing about something, and soon they started pushing and shoving.

"what"

Lin Qingxue seemed to be pushed, her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell directly from the shore into the lake.

"Help, help, help"

Lin Qingxue, who was in the water, kept flopping around and shouted for help.

When the eunuch on the side wanted to jump into the lake to save people, a figure was faster than all of them. He jumped directly into the lake and caught Lin Qingxue who was sinking.
