Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 395 Gossip
In mid-July, the sky was blue and cloudy.

In the outer hall of the Jiuyou Palace bedroom, Ruan Mianmian stared at the floating clouds in the sky in a daze.

Xiao Jiujiu was held in Lian'er's arms, her little arms and legs kept dangling towards her, as if she really wanted to nestle in her mother's arms.

Lian'er and Hsinchu hurriedly coaxed him, at this moment it was obvious that the mother was distracted, and her expression was a little dazed, as if she was thinking about something unhappy.

Still, it's better not to disturb.

Hsinchu couldn't help wondering, the empress should be very happy, everything is fine now, why not happy.

Lian'er also didn't understand, the two of you looked at me and I looked at you, looking at His Royal Highness's naughty spirit, it is more important to find a nanny to coax the child in the past.

After a while, Rongyu came over from the outside, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Princess Lausanne and the third concubine have arrived."

Ruan Mianmian slowly came back to her senses, looked at Xiao Jiujiu who kept baring her teeth and claws, smiled and said: "Xinzhu, Lian'er, take the prince to the bedroom, let the nurse coax him well, it's time for a nap."

Hsinchu nodded quickly, Lian'er stretched out her hand to tease His Royal Highness, and also smiled and carried His Highness to the inner hall of the bedroom.

"Rongyu, just let Hsinchu, Lian'er and Ronghe wait, you follow here, and make tea for Princess Lausanne and the third concubine later."

Rongyu nodded quickly, the empress looked a little pale today, even paler than usual.

When the empress was not talking, laughing or distracted, she was so quiet that it almost didn't exist, and they were all a little worried.

"Mother, Princess Lausanne and the third concubine are here." A little maid came in from outside, followed by Ruan Rongrong and Ruan Qingqing.

Ruan Mianmian signaled the little maid to back out, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Concubine..."

"Two sisters, please get up, there are no outsiders here." Before Ruan Rongrong and Ruan Qingqing could finish speaking, Ruan Mianmian walked over and helped them up.

Knowing that the empress is not in good health, Rongyu quickly went to help Princess Lausanne, and at the same time asked the maid to move the chair over, and helped the two of them to the chair.

Ruan Rongrong and Ruan Qingqing were determined not to sit down, Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "Eldest sister, second sister, there are really no outsiders here."

Ruan Mianmian took the hands of the two and asked them to sit down one by one.

"Rongyu, make tea." Ruan Mianmian ordered softly, and sat down on the chair opposite the two.

When they met again, Ruan Mianmian did not sit in the main seat in the hall like last time, but abandoned the main seat and sat face to face with Ruan Rongrong and Ruan Qingqing.

Ruan Rongrong and Ruan Qingqing were so frightened that they stood up quickly.

Ruan Mianmian looked at them and smiled slightly: "The two sisters don't bother the younger sister, so the younger sister has to get up and stand with the two older sisters."

Rongyu said very considerately: "Concubine Lausanne and the third concubine please sit down, the empress is not in good health and cannot stand such torture."

Ruan Rongrong and Ruan Qingqing were a little worried again, and they finally sat down anxiously.

Ever since they knew that the queen was their fourth sister, their hearts had long been in turmoil.Ruan Rongrong knew a little earlier that she got nothing after returning to the palace last time, so the prince asked her and explained the reason.

The queen has a thin temper and doesn't like to talk, so she has nothing to say at all.Later, when the emperor returned to the palace, they didn't dare to stay any longer.

In the end, she found out on the same day that the current empress was actually the taciturn and dull Ruan Mianmian who used to be in the prime minister's mansion.

At that time, she didn't believe it, but she had to believe what the prince said.She was in a daze for a day, thinking that if the queen was the fourth sister Ruan Mianmian, why did she not recognize her when she met her in the palace?

She admitted that she didn't care about this fourth sister since she was a child, and she never cared about it.But she remembered that the second younger sister Qingqing loved and cared for the fourth younger sister, and was always there to help her.

It wasn't until she remembered that in Huaqing Palace that day, the queen who had been living in Jiuyou Palace for a long time brought her maidservant to Huaqing Palace to deliver a message, that she suddenly understood.

The rumor was just an excuse, and she guessed right at the time, the queen was indeed helping them.And the person who troubled Concubine Qing that day was the second sister Ruan Qingqing.

"Eldest sister, second sister, Mianmian scared you." Ruan Mianmian said softly.

Ruan Rongrong and Ruan Qingqing said repeatedly: "The empress is serious."

Ruan Mianmian knew that they were afraid of her identity, so she glanced at Rongyu, Rongyu nodded and walked out without moving, leaving only the three sisters in the whole hall.

Ruan Mianmian said softly: "Before Mianmian's identity was not made public, so she will not recognize each other. Please don't be offended by the two sisters."

Ruan Rongrong hurriedly said respectfully: "Where, the empress is serious."

Ruan Qingqing's nose was a little sore, her throat was a little stuffy, and she couldn't speak.

She always thought that the fourth sister was already dead, and she died the day when Secret Door Qingyin was executed.At that time, she couldn't afford to be sick, and only hated herself for being powerless.

"Mian... Your Majesty." Ruan Qingqing gritted her teeth, with tears in her eyes.

The tip of Ruan Mianmian's nose was also a little sour, but she looked at Ruan Qingqing and smiled like a youthful smile: "Second sister, Mianmian is fine now, and second sister will not worry about Mianmian anymore."

"Eldest sister, second sister, just call me Mianmian, you are my own sisters." Ruan Mianmian said softly.

Sitting down is already like sitting on pins and needles, how dare you call the queen by her name?

In the Jiuyou Palace, there are countless guards in the open and in the dark, and their conversations will be recorded verbatim, and passed to the ears of the emperor whose temperament is unstable.

Although Ruan Qingqing wanted to call her Mianmian, she held back thinking of her husband's instructions when she went out.

In any case, their current status does not allow them to make any mistakes in this palace.The queen may not mind, but what about the emperor?

No one can be called brother and brother with the emperor, there has always been only the distinction between the monarch and his ministers, after the emperor and his ministers, are brothers and sisters.

"Qingqing, I know you miss your fourth younger sister, but now she is the empress of a country, and the emperor treats her dearly very tightly."

"If something happened to her and the emperor got angry, we couldn't bear it."

"The queen has a good temper and is a very kind person, but your identities in these systems don't allow you to be like you used to be, do you understand?"

She understands, she understands everything.

She understood why Mianmian didn't recognize them when she first saw them, but sat there and talked to them indifferently, as if they were strangers.

Because of her identity, and at that time, Mianmian's identity had not been made public, but now that it was made public, she was really worried that the Gu family would not let Mianmian go.

The husband said that Mian Mian's husband is the king of a country, so she doesn't need to worry.

She knew she was worrying too much, but she couldn't help it.She always has more than enough heart but not enough energy, even if she is not protected by her husband, she might not be in this world.

The husband laughed at her, saying that it was only natural for a man to protect his beloved woman, and he was very fortunate that he could always protect her like this.

She won't cause trouble, and every time she enters the palace, she is very careful, not daring to be slighted.

It is true to say that you are concerned, but it is more of a precaution.

Now she is a frightened bird, if the king of Lausanne and the elder sister hadn't come to the door, she would never have thought too much.But that doesn't mean she doesn't know.

She didn't agree to the eldest sister's conditions, how about persuading her husband.

She listened to her husband and acted as a little woman, but she didn't ask any court affairs.She is just a little woman, and she can't control so much.

She just wanted to live well, and hoped that her loved ones around her would also be well.

Her heart is very small, and the small one can only hold one person, and can only put down their home.
