After I was reborn, I became the queen mother by fortune telling

Chapter 275 The Concubine Yu Is Here
Jiang Yu said lightly, "But I'm from Daxia."

"It's okay, after staying for a long time, it will naturally belong to our country." Meng Yunqing smiled.

Meng Yunqing looked at the sky: "It's getting late, is Miss Jiang going to talk to me in the yard until dawn?"

He clapped his hands twice, and Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing walked out of the room.

"The weather is warm today, let's have a banquet in the yard!" He ordered.

The two little maids agreed, and Xiaotao called a few more maids to come out, set up tables and chairs in the yard, and placed many dishes, melons and fruits on the tables, and even wine in crystal glasses.

"Miss Jiang, please." Meng Yunqing raised his glass.

Jiang Yu looked at the wine in the glass and smiled faintly: "My husband's life or death is uncertain now, does Your Majesty think I have any mood to drink?"

Meng Yunqing was not angry when she heard the words, she put down her glass and said, "Miss Jiang won't drink, so I won't drink either. Xiaotao, take the wine down."

Xiaotao came forward with a wooden tray, and took down the wine glass.

"If you don't drink wine, you still have to eat, right?"

Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't intend to move his chopsticks, Meng Yunqing persuaded him graciously.

Jiang Yu thought about it, even if she didn't eat, Meng Yunqing would probably use some method to make herself eat, and wouldn't let herself out because of this.

She looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her and started to move her chopsticks.

Meng Yunqing smiled: "Miss Jiang, try some of Ningqiu's special dishes. How does it taste?"

"It's not much different from Yangzhou." Jiang Yu replied lightly.

Meng Yunqing was not angry either, and laughed: "They are close, so it's normal that the difference is not big. However, there are some things that Yangzhou doesn't have, so take your time."

During this meal, Meng Yunqing didn't mention the war between the two countries any more, but just talked about gossip.

Jiang Yu asked several times, and Meng Yunqing finally said quietly: "I will tell you when Miss Jiang really cares about me."

After dinner, Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing came to invite Jiang Yu to rest, and asked Meng Yunqing if he wanted to stay. Meng Yunqing looked at Jiang Yu's face, smiled wryly and shook his head.

Jiang Yu felt relieved, it seemed that Meng Yunqing still wanted to be decent for the time being, and would not use force.

But now no one may know that he is here, and he can only rely on himself if he wants to leave.

In the next few days, gifts like flowing water were sent to the small courtyard where Jiang Yu lived.

There are all kinds of clothes and jewelry, antiques, books, exquisite food, fresh melons and fruits.

Meng Yunqing came to see Jiang Yu occasionally, and would bring her some small things.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing kept saying good things for Meng Yunqing, saying that although Meng Yunqing was good to the women around him, he had never cared so much for Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu thought, this is probably because she was born better than others, and also, Meng Yunqing didn't get herself.

If he was like the women around him, he would not be so concerned about him for a year or so, or even a few months.

"The main concubine that His Majesty married when he was a prince passed away long ago, and now there is only a side concubine in the palace. If Miss agrees to His Majesty, she might be able to become a queen!" Xiao Tao said while dressing Jiang Yu in the morning.

Jiang Yu laughed out loud.

In my previous life, I was the Queen and Empress Dowager of the Great Xia Kingdom, so do I still care about being the queen of the Ningqiu Kingdom?

Furthermore, even if there was no reason for this, how could a man like Meng Yunqing who ascended to the throne from a prince without inheritance rights to the throne of king, make a woman whose background he couldn't tell be queen, at best a concubine.

Even if she is favored all her life, she is just a concubine.

I don't want to be a plaything in the hands of men.

"Miss, don't you believe me? The woman from Ningqiu Middle School who wants to marry His Majesty to be queen can be sent out of the palace." Seeing Jiang Yu's indifferent look, Xiaotao defended Meng Yunqing.

"So you've thought about it too?" After becoming acquainted with the two little maids, Jiang Yu occasionally joked with them.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tao blushed: "I thought about it, but how is this possible! This servant is just a little maid, and she is not beautiful."

"You're pretty handsome, too."

"Your Majesty likes beautiful women. The dozen or so concubines in the palace are all the most beautiful women."

Jiang Yu was startled.

Dozens of princesses...

But she thought about it again, Mu Qingyuan's harem is more than a dozen, it's just that he doesn't like women, otherwise there might be more concubines in the harem.

Thinking that he didn't like women, Jiang Yu's heart was shaken.

Thinking of the night of parting, in the dim tent, she and Mu Qingyuan embraced each other tightly, she could clearly feel his heartbeat, his reluctance, his pity for herself and...

"But—" Xiaotao continued.

"But what?"

"Now His Majesty's concubines are not as beautiful as Miss. So Miss doesn't have to worry."

Jiang Yu was startled.

This reason is really sufficient.

She knew that she was beautiful, but she never thought of using her beauty as a tool to exchange for prosperity and wealth from men.

Xiao Xing happened to come over, and when she heard this topic, she also became interested.

"Sister Xiaotao, if your words are heard by Concubine Yu or her people, you will be in bad luck."

Jiang Yu was a little curious: "Who is the concubine Yu you are talking about?"

Xiao Xing answered first: "Concubine Yu is the most favored concubine in the palace, and His Majesty spends half of a month spending the night with her. The other ladies are jealous!"

Xiaotao patted her on the shoulder: "You can say the word jealous? It's not big or small."

They were chatting when they suddenly heard loud voices coming from outside the door.

Jiang Yu didn't care at first, but the voice got louder and louder, and it looked like someone was arguing outside.

"Xiao Xing, go out and see what's going on?" Xiao Tao ordered.

Xiao Xing hurried out, and soon she came back.

"Someone quarreled with the guard at the door."

"Who?"

"It looks like Empress Yufei and the people in her palace."

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment: "Is that the Concubine Yu who favors the harem you just mentioned?"

"Exactly. Miss, do you want to go out and have a look?"

When Jiang Yu heard that the quarrel outside was getting louder and there was no tendency to stop, she shook her head slightly: "I don't know her, so just leave it alone."

Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing looked at each other, and just about to speak, they suddenly heard someone outside the room asking loudly: "Is Miss Xiao Tao there?"

Xiaotao quickly replied: "Yes, I am!"

She left Jiang Yu and Xiao Xing behind, walked out quickly, and after talking to the people outside, she walked into the room again.

"It's the elder guard who guards the door. He came to ask Miss. He said that Concubine Yu came to see Miss. His Majesty had ordered that no one should be allowed in. The guards stopped them, but now there is a lot of trouble. The elder guard is afraid of Concubine Yu. Going to sue, so I came here to ask Miss if I could let her in."

　Thank you for the little cutie (*^▽^*)
