Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 14
Jiang Li said indifferently: "How about him?"

Qing Ge said angrily: "It's the second wife! You were even asked to marry that person! I heard that a fire seven years ago burned King Qi's face. I was so frightened that I fainted. The emperor was furious at the time, so he ordered King Qi not to show his face without approval. Look, how ugly it is to scare people into fainting! Also, Because King Qi was suffering from a serious illness, his whole body was emitting a stench. Even his maid was disgusted and had to take a detour. Three years ago, when his car was going out, he was blocked by the prince's servant, so his status was low. To such an extent! Girl, you marry him, how can you live like this!"

Jiang Li looked at Qing Ge with fire in his eyes, and said flatly: "It's just rumors from outsiders. We are outsiders, so how can we see so clearly. Don't listen to other people's nonsense."

Qing Ge looked at Jiang Li's quiet eyes looking directly at her, and couldn't help being stunned, finally bowed her head in shame, and said, "Yes."

Just as Qing Ge's voice fell, a burst of chaotic footsteps came, appearing somewhat dignified in the empty courtyard.

Jiang Li stood up and ordered: "Qing Ge, bring me that thick cloak, people from the palace are here to look for us."

Qing Ge didn't know how her own girl knew, but she hurried back to the house and put on the rabbit fur cloak with red background and white flowers. Just as she turned to leave the door, she saw the eunuch from the palace coming, and announced an order to summon the three girls together. When entering the palace, there is no need to bring a maid.

Sitting in the green leather sedan chair, Jiang Li waved at Qing Ge, and calmly waited for the storm that was about to occur.

The distance to the palace is quite far, and it was Weishi when Jiang Li was in the palace just now, and it was the beginning of Youshi when he arrived outside the palace gate.When winter comes, it gets dark early. At this time, the twilight is suppressed, and the biting wind is blowing, slightly piercing, and it seems that there will be snow again.

Jiang Li stepped out of the sedan chair, and saw three beauties standing aside, one of them had already stepped into the carriage that came to welcome her, she glanced at her, she had a beautiful face, and she thought it was Princess Gu Ling.

The other two beauties in beautiful clothes are naturally Liu Ying and He Yueyao. Liu Ying glanced at her coldly, the makeup under her eyes was heavily applied, but Jiang Li could still tell at a glance that her body hadn't fully recovered.

The three of them got into their respective carriages, and then walked towards the palace.

I don't know how long it took, and the carriage stopped after passing through many checkpoints.

When Jiang Li got out of the carriage, his eyes were pierced by the lights in front of him, and the distance and near were shrouded in the clear glass lamps. A row of maids in green clothes stood in front of them, holding horn lamps, and lowered their heads to guide them.

In the distance, the water is rippling, the lights of the flourishing age reflect the brilliance, and the marble white bridge runs across, connecting the lively voices over there with the silence here.

Huangfu Linlang was at the front, and Jiang Li was at the end, led by the maid to go there via the White Bridge.

Looking at the level of prosperity, Jiang Li thought to himself that Chu State really lived up to the title of the richest.

Slowly advancing, the four were brought to the field, and everyone's eyes were on their faces.

The first thing that catches the eye is naturally Huangfu Linlang. Today she is wearing a chrysanthemum-patterned top and a long skirt embroidered with juan yarn and gold silk. Tu Zhu, with snowy skin and beautiful face, made all the men on the field stare straight at him, thinking in his heart that this "Twin Lady of the World" really lived up to its reputation, the Seventh Prince is really lucky.After a long time, everyone's eyes slowly moved past the two beauties Liu Ying and He Yueyao, and landed on Jiang Li.

I saw that although the complexion of the woman in front of her was not as good as Huangfu Linlang's, she was superior in her leisurely demeanor, Qing Lingling's eyes were flowing quietly like water, as if nothing had caught her eyes.If it was said that Huangfu Linlang's direct gaze just now was filled with innate arrogance, then Jiang Li's eyes were innately clear, without ripples.

Jiang Li raised his head neither humble nor overbearing, and looked at the woman above. Although the woman was in her early thirties, she looked only in her twenties. She was dressed in a phoenix dress, and she was supposed to be the imperial concubine who controlled the harem.

The imperial concubine turned her eyes to the person next to her, and said with a smile: "Seventh prince, your imperial concubine is inferior to all the ladies in our royal capital. This appearance and demeanor remind me of the former empress."

As soon as the words "the first empress" came out, everyone couldn't help but fell silent, but at the small table next to him, a man in brocade clothes turned around and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine is absurd. Lin Lang is far worse than the first empress." Far."

The man was about twenty-one-two, with a jade belt around his waist and a jade crown on his temples. He had a handsome face, sword eyebrows and star eyes.At a glance, they are all outstanding talents, and they are outstanding everywhere.

Presumably it was the Seventh Prince Chu Yuan.

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "I haven't passed the door yet, but I called you all kinds of times. I really fell in love with a beautiful woman at first sight. It turns out that I have never seen you care so much about women."

Chu Yuan said: "Imperial Concubine, please stop making fun of me."

Jiang Li glanced at Lin Lang, and saw that her eyes were like stars in the sky, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. Presumably, she was very satisfied with the seventh prince.

The imperial concubine laughed, then turned her head to the crowd beside her and said, "Li Lin, Sima Yan, come out and have a look."

At this time, two men stood out from the crowd, both under thirty, one was imposing and the other was straight, they were General Li Lin and Zuo Xiang Sima Yan.

Seeing this, Liu Ying and He Yueyao both blushed quietly and lowered their heads.

However, the imperial concubine's eyes fell on Jiang Li lightly, she was slightly cold, and said slowly: "Are you Jiang Li, the daughter-in-law of Marquis Ding'an?"

"My daughter is." Jiang Li said.

Such a clear and faint voice really made it impossible for people to connect with the news she inquired about, let alone it was related to that person!
Her voice became cold, and she ordered: "Sit down first."

Immediately, a maid led them to the positions of the female relatives.

After Jiang Li sat down on his knees, the princess and lady next to her couldn't help but frowned in disgust, and quietly moved her body to the side.

Jiang Li didn't care, as if she didn't pay attention to anything, she reached out to add a glass of light wine, and looked ahead with a calm expression.

And at this time, a small body quietly leaned towards this side, and then squeezed beside Jiangli, with a clear and lovely voice.

"Sister, I like you."

Jiang Li suddenly saw a small head popping out, wearing a pink gauze skirt and a luxurious cloak, only twelve or thirteen years old, pink and cute, and I don't know which princess it is.

Jiang Li smiled at her.

The little princess leaned forward, snatched the wine glass from Jiang Li's hand unceremoniously, ate it all in one gulp, then pointed to a group of male customers opposite and whispered: "Sister, look, that man is so tall. Have a good look."
