Chapter 133: Concubine Jiang's Secret
The air is exceptionally fresh under the quiet moonlight, and the beautiful scenery in the palace is also exceptionally peaceful.
"My concubine! I wonder what your instructions are for summoning my concubine?"
In the Yifeng Palace, Concubine Jiang was twirling chess pieces with her cheeks and hands, tapping the table secretly and playing chess with Xia Ruyan on the floor!
"Since you have become the Crown Princess from now on, you must set an example for the people below you!"
After Concubine Jiang thought for a while, suddenly a black chess piece struck Xia Ruyan with a majestic and murderous sound.
"Oh...concubine! You are so powerful! I can't get rid of you! It seems like I'm doomed! Forget it! I'd better give in!"
Xia Ruyan pouted her lips as she spoke, and her deliberately coquettish look made Concubine Jiang laugh. She couldn't help but remind Concubine Jiang of her daughter who had been separated since birth.
"My child! Look, come on! Concubine Mother, let me teach you! This is how things should be done here. Look, doesn't this solve this trick of mine?"
Concubine Jiang said with a smile and used her other hand to press her cheek.
"Oh! So that's it! Oh my god! The mother-in-law is so wise! The child is so far behind! It seems that the child should really learn from the mother-in-law!"
Xia Ruyan's face blossomed into a smile as she spoke, then she stood up and walked around to Concubine Jiang, and massaged her shoulders intimately. Seeing Concubine Jiang smiling happily, she struck while the iron was hot.
"My concubine! My child doesn't understand something. I would like you to answer my questions. I wonder if my concubine will agree?"
Concubine Jiang put her hand on her shoulder and patted Xia Ruyan's hand gently. The smile on her face made her feel particularly comfortable.
"Yan'er! Why does your hand feel so comfortable when it's on my shoulder? It's much better than what the maid usually does!"
"Really? I have never been a maid before! Hahahahaha... I never thought that my newbie would be praised by my mother and concubine today! Maybe I was a maid in my previous life? So although I haven't been in this life
After doing it, I still do it! Hahahahahaha ... "
As Xia Ruyan said this, she and Jiang Guifei laughed together, which made the two of them feel closer in an instant.
"You kid! You're so funny! I didn't expect that I really misjudged you before!"
After Concubine Jiang smiled like this, tears suddenly overflowed her eyelids.
"Hey...it's not easy! In fact, it would be unconscionable to say that I have never done these things! When I was a child, I often did these things for my mother and concubine in the Xiahou Mansion!"
Xia Ruyan sighed softly as she spoke, and then she shook her head and said, "If you want to do it easily, how many people can really do it well?"
"oh?!!!………………"
When Concubine Jiang heard this, her expression suddenly darkened. Judging from her years of experience in observing words and expressions, she seemed to have smelled something.
"Haha! But there is no need to worry, mother-in-law. In fact, Ruyan has suffered some hardships since she was a child. Concubine Liu, the concubine's mother-in-law, once taught her children that the unique skill that women must learn is the art of massaging. No matter what
It will come in handy for both being a wife and a mother in the future! So the child has grown up doing these things for his mother, the concubine Liu, since he was a child! Do you think the child can be easily picked up? Haha..."
Although Xia Ruyan's words were unintentional by the speaker, they made the listener interested.
"Did you say that you have personally done these things for your mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, since she was a child?"
Concubine Jiang asked seriously, as if she was afraid that she heard wrongly.
"Yes!......Indeed......It is true!"
Xia Ruyan heard this and replied tremblingly.
But I secretly thought: "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
However, she quickly pretended to be calm and explained calmly: "Mother and concubine, don't worry too much! In fact, the child is quite happy to do these things. After all, now I feel that it is a blessing in life to be able to stand by your side and perform my own stunts for you.
Ah! If it weren’t for the strict teachings given by my mother, Concubine Liu, to my concubine when I was young, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to enjoy my concubine’s unique skills now!”
"oh………………"
Concubine Jiang was quietly distracted, and she was thinking secretly in her heart: "It seems that this child is different if he is not her biological child! It stands to reason that how many mothers from wealthy families are willing to treat their daughters so harshly?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but come back to her senses and asked again: "So, how is your relationship with your Liu family's mother and concubine?"
When Xia Ruyan heard this, she suddenly thought for a moment: "Well... I can't say that it's particularly good! I always feel that she always compares me with that Xia Lingyue! Every time she compares me with Xia Lingyue
I hate it so much! I always say that Xia Lingyue is good here and there is good there, so I said since she is so nice, why don’t she call you mother? No matter how nice she is, she is not your biological daughter. Aren’t those words of yours just in vain?
Is it just adding to the worries?"
After Concubine Jiang heard this, she became more and more determined in her thoughts.
"It seems like it's not my biological child. It's really different!"
As a result, Concubine Jiang became more energetic when she thought of this.
"So, since you suspect that you are not your biological child, have you heard any rumors from anywhere? For example, have you heard any clues from any old nanny?"
Xia Ruyan saw that Concubine Jiang had a strange look on her face, and she couldn't help but frown secretly and thought: "Eh? Why would she ask me this? Is there something hidden?"
"Really? Why didn't you say anything?"
Concubine Jiang turned her head and urged her.
"Oh...concubine! Isn't this my concubine just reminiscing? I certainly can't think of so many things at once, so far away!"
Seeing that Concubine Jiang was so concerned about this issue, Xia Ruyan couldn't help but start thinking about how to phrase it.
"Oh! Concubine! I actually don't know how to answer this question! After all, some things may not be rigorous if you just guess them out of thin air."
When Concubine Jiang heard Xia Ruyan's words, her appetite was suddenly whetted again: "I don't blame you for not being strict. We are just chatting together. You don't need to be too reserved to have a happy and interesting chat!"
Her words made Xia Ruyan more sure of her doubts.
"Could it be...could it be the mother-in-law? You once lost a daughter who was exactly the same as your child, right?"
Although Xia Ruyan asked the question with trepidation, her words hit the pain point in Jiang Guifei's heart.
"Uh...haha!"
Faced with such a sentence, Concubine Jiang didn't know how to answer for a moment, and she even started to hesitantly start talking haha.
"Oh...I'm sorry! I'm wrong! What I actually want to say is that I am so close to you! If...if you really have a lost daughter, how great it would be if that person were me!
Although... although the child understands in his heart, this may be a wishful thinking! But, what girl can have no fantasy when meeting such a good mother and concubine like you? Haha..."
After hearing this, Concubine Jiang secretly admired Xia Ruyan's intelligence and agility, and couldn't help but think about it in her heart for a long time.
"Look at this child, she really looks like me when I was young. Whether it's her agility in dealing with things or the degree of advancement and retreat in her conversation, plus she still has the keepsake that I gave away to her hanging around her neck. She's at least eighty-nine years old.
It’s a certainty!”
Thinking of this, Concubine Jiang unexpectedly asked again: "Seeing that you are so well-behaved, smart and alert, your mother-in-law must be reluctant to marry you, right?"
"Haha... It would be great if she couldn't bear to let go! It's a pity that she hopes that I get married soon, so that no one will disturb the world between her and her husband after I get married!"
Xia Ruyanran smiled coldly, a hint of self-deprecation secretly forming on her lips.
"Oh?!!! There is such a mother in the world?"
The more Concubine Jiang talked, the more she felt that the person in front of her was becoming more and more lovable. She was her daughter whom she had lost twenty years ago.
"In that case, I have something to tell you!"
When Xia Ruyan heard this, her eyes suddenly shone with crystal clear light, looking a little impatient.
"Really? Then the kid is willing to listen!"…………
