Beauty Scheming: Remnant King and Concubine

Chapter 1

Wansheng Dynasty, the beginning of the fifth year of Daye, the imperial capital.

Just after the new year, it is still the season of cold spring, and many people get sick at this time.

"Cough cough..."

In the side hall of Longfu Palace, a court lady stood beside the antique rack, holding a rag in one hand and propping up the wall with the other, coughing hard.After coughing, she moved lotus steps, picked up the porcelain on the shelf, and wiped the dust on it with the rag in her hand.

"Liang Ruo, why are you still getting dusty when you cough like this?"

A voice suddenly came from behind, Ji Liangruo turned around and saw Hui Xin beside the Queen Mother.

"Why is Sister Huixin here?" She asked.

"The Empress Dowager asked you to go to the main hall." Hui Xin walked over, took the rag in her hand, and frowned slightly, "Why are you so disrespectful to yourself? You are already sick, and you just need to have a good rest. Why do you still come to work?"

"How can I not do things." She smiled and walked to the corner.

"If you can't do it, don't do it. Your identity is a little different from ours."

Ji Liangruo didn't speak, there was a basin of clear water on the low stool in the corner, she soaked her hands in the water, washed it, took out a handkerchief to dry, and said, "Let's go."

Hui Xin nodded and went out with her.When Lu met the maids cleaning the corridor, Ji Liangruo said to them: "I'll go to the Queen Mother, and you collect the water and cloth in the house."

"Yes." The maid agreed.

The two continued to walk forward, Hui Xin smiled and said, "You are really careful."

"My sister praised it." She said.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and she couldn't help shrinking her neck.

Hui Xin sighed: "Every year at this time, there are always a lot of sick people, why did you meet them this year?"

After a while, they arrived at the main hall, Ji Liangruo walked in after her, and unexpectedly saw the emperor and queen, and the fourth prince who hadn't been out of the palace for three years.

Seeing the rare fourth prince in a hundred years, she was taken aback.And the fourth prince seemed to notice her gaze, and cast a sidelong glance at her.

Those eyes were cold and swishing, if they were eyes, it would be better to say they were icicles.She shivered all over, came back to her senses, and hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects.

The queen mother smiled and said "Pingshen", and said to everyone: "This is Liangruo, relatives of Taiji's natal family, you should have an impression?"

Ji Liangruo stood in the hall with his head down, not daring to move.Earlier Huixin said that her identity was a little different, and that was the difference—Ru Taiji was her aunt.

"Naturally." Qin Yunguang, who was wearing a dragon robe, smiled slightly, picked up his teacup, and cast his eyes lazily on her, "Even if I don't remember it before, I have often seen it by my mother's side these few years, and I still have an impression."

The previous emperor passed away five years ago. As usual, the Empress Dowager moved into Longfu Palace, and all other concubines moved into Yi'an Palace.But Ruji is an exception, she has eight princesses.The eighth princess was only five years old at the time, and the queen mother couldn't bear her to live with a group of outdated concubines at such a young age, and couldn't bear to separate their mother and daughter and hand her over to a group of palace people to take care of her, so she specially allowed them to move into Longfu Palace as companions .

If Ji Liang was Ru Ji's personal court lady, he would naturally follow.She was 14 years old that year, and she was leaving behind the figure of a child to grow into a slim girl...

"Liang Ruo has been in the palace for ten years—" The queen mother was not sure, and asked Liang Ruo, "Really?"

"Back to the queen mother, yes." Ji Liangruo was in a panic, not knowing what happened.She has always behaved in her own right, and she has done nothing and made no mistakes.Therefore, the queen mother neither likes nor dislikes her.But today he specially summoned her...

After listening to her answer, the queen mother nodded slightly satisfied, and said to the fourth prince Qin Yunyao: "A very well-behaved child, Taiji is her aunt, and she is never proud. She can do better than other court ladies."

"En." Qin Yunyao responded almost inaudibly, leaning his elbows lazily on the armrest of the chair, supporting his delicate chin.

He is a handsome man, handsome as a woman.It's a pity that his face is covered with frost, not to mention making people get close, even daring to take a look.

His eyes, sometimes like a clear spring, sometimes like a secluded pool, are not only attractive to people, they can even be said to be charming; his lips are as thin as peach blossoms, but the edge of the peach blossoms is like a sharp knife edge, which makes people feel ashamed. He can stare but cannot touch; his fingers are as long as jade...

"How do you feel?" asked the Queen Mother.

Ji Liangruo couldn't help but look up, how about what?
"It's all up to the queen mother to decide." Qin Yunyao said flatly.

"That's good." The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Ji Liangruo, "Liangruo, would the Ai family betroth you to the Fourth Prince?"

Ji Liangruo's eyes widened, and he suddenly looked at Qin Yunyao.Qin Yunyao looked at her without moving, turned his body sideways, put down his hand on his chin, and stroked the thin blanket covering his lap.

He is in a wheelchair.

His actions startled the others, and the queen mother shouted angrily: "Liangruo!"

Liang Ruo turned around and looked at her in horror.

"Liang Ruo, don't hesitate to thank you." Ru Taiji reminded softly, lest she offend the Queen Mother.

She knelt down with a plop, and said loudly: "My servant thanked the Queen Mother Long En! Everything depends on the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed into a line, she was silent for a long moment, and said coldly: "In this case, the Ai family will make you the princess of Yahe, and marry the Fourth Prince at a certain date."

"Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness..." Ji Liangruo replied panting lightly, her heart beating non-stop.
