Chapter 230
"In such a desperate situation, this is the only way to keep Longyue in the capital."
The more she spoke, the more fluent Hui Taipin's words became.
"Having lost her chastity, she is no longer worthy of being married off to a foreign alliance. Even if the Queen Mother wants to send Longyue to Dzungar, she has no reason to do so."
"After all, the purpose of the marriage is to maintain peace on the border. Sending a princess who has lost her chastity would be a slap in the face of the Dzungars, wouldn't it?"
"Neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor would do such a thing."
Concubine Hui's words changed Concubine Jing's expression from fear to determination.
Looking steadily at the ground in front of him, he replied, "But, a marriage always requires the sacrifice of a princess. If something happens to Longyue, there will be no one to replace her. If the Queen Mother blames her, won't she be killed in an instant?"
Concubine Hui suddenly exerted force with both hands and tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hands.
"Sister, how can there be no one to replace you? The Imperial Noble Consort Wen Yi is older than Long Yue."
"A princess who has reached marriage age is better than Longyue, right?"
A gleam of ruthlessness flashed across Concubine Hui's eyes, which suddenly ignited hope in Concubine Jing's eyes.
"Yes, there is also Wen Yi, and Wen Yi..."
He muttered a few words and then said, "But Longyue is still ignorant of human nature. How can she agree to such a thing? If she really does it, how can she live her life in the future?"
Concubine Hui closed her eyes.
"Sister, there's no need for Longyue to agree. Naturally, she can't know about this kind of thing."
"Only by being the victim can she appease the wrath of the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
Concubine Jing's heart skipped a beat. "Sister, what do you mean by that?"
Concubine Hui opened her eyes and turned to stare at Concubine Jing.
"Sister, only Longyue was kept in the dark and forced to lose her virginity, so she could escape this disaster. Otherwise, even if she was spared the long journey to Junggar, she would not have survived."
"So, sister, are you willing to risk your life for Longyue?"
Concubine Jing's eyes were slightly evasive.
But for a moment, he was firm.
"Sister, you're right. Few princesses who marry into other countries can live to a ripe old age. I can't let Longyue suffer like this."
"You have Jinghe as your child, so you can't take any risks. I'm the only one who can do this."
"Don't worry, I will use my life to exchange for Longyue's peaceful life for the rest of her life. I have no complaints."
Concubine Hui's vigilance was slightly reduced.
Fortunately, the person in front of me is a person who values love.
"Sister, Longyue is lucky to have you as her adoptive mother."
...
The weather is getting colder day by day.
In the blink of an eye, it was winter and the fifth prince was about to turn one month old.
Qingying did not ask anyone else to do anything for her and personally organized the Fifth Prince's full moon banquet and Hailan's promotion ceremony to the position of concubine.
The position of concubine was legitimate. Qingying discussed with Hongli and restored Shufei's power to assist in managing the six palaces, handing over most of the palace affairs.
The days are rare and quiet.
Concubine Zhemin has passed away for a long time, and the emperor's appearance of deep love for her is enough.
As he was about to put pen to paper, the harem became lively again.
Previously, Concubine Zhao had been favored for many days, and before Concubine Zhemin passed away, it was Concubine Yi who was about to be favored.
But now, for some reason, the emperor thought of Concubine Ke who came from Mongolia.
Liang Jinrui walked out of the Yangxin Palace holding the silver tray, but his expression was a little unhappy.
He looked up and greeted Li Yu, then walked out muttering to himself.
The young disciple next to him came forward with a smile on his face, "Master, I'm going to Yonghe Palace to deliver a message."
Liang Jinrui spat and casually threw the silver plate to the eunuch. "You little dog slave, you have no eyesight at all. The sign the emperor flipped today is the sign of Concubine Ke!"
"Mr. Ke? Master, this..."
The young eunuch's face changed, and Liang Jinrui's expression also looked unhappy.
Concubine Yi was very generous and had sent good things to the Jingshifang several times, both openly and secretly.
The purpose is to make her the first one to appear on the emperor's card after he regains his favor.
Today, Liang Jinrui took a risk and placed the name card of Concubine Yi in front of Concubine Zhao.
But unexpectedly, the emperor didn't even look at it and directly turned over the other person's card.
Concubine Yi was of noble birth and had a quick temper.
