RPAGF Chapter 181 Tangtang's Mouth
Chapter 181 Tangtang's Mouth
Jiang Li was a little surprised that the Queen would speak so bluntly, but when she saw Concubine Rou couldn't control her ashen face, she understood roughly what was going on.
It turns out that the queen can also be so sinister. As long as she can make Concubine Rou angry, she will not hesitate to go against her own personality.
"Yes, I will retire."
Jiang Li left the pavilion without hesitation. After standing behind the queen for so long, her calf muscles were slightly sore.
When Lin Qingtang, who was not far away, saw Jiang Li walking towards her, stars lit up in her excited eyes, and then she couldn't wait to jog towards her.
"Pear!"
"Tangtang..."
The two of them hadn't seen each other for nearly a month. After seeing that Jiang Li had lost so much weight, Lin Qingtang's smiling face instantly wrinkled, and his eyes were full of heartache.
"How come you've lost so much weight..."
She pulled Jiang Li around and around, and then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her breasts were still plump.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose weight in places where I shouldn't..."
Jiang Li couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead and chuckled. She didn't expect that in ancient times with such feudal thinking, she could meet such an open-minded baby.
"If Madam Lin hears what you say, she will definitely fine you again."
Lin Qingtang stuck out his tongue at her, his tone nonchalant.
"If we don't tell her, she won't know."
"Okay, okay, there are too many people here, let's go somewhere far away to talk!"
Lin Qingtang grabbed Jiang Li's wrist and was about to walk to a secluded place, but Jiang Li grabbed her back.
"and many more……"
The girl looked back at the pavilion and found that the queen was indeed staring at her.
Hey, that’s all.
"Let's just stay here. The mission the Queen assigned to me hasn't been completed yet..."
Lin Qingtang also looked towards the pavilion curiously, but when she met the Queen's gaze, she immediately lowered her head, just like when she was in school, not daring to look the teacher in the eye.
"What's wrong? What mission did the Queen give you?"
Hearing Lin Qingtang's question, Jiang Li didn't plan to hide it from her. After all, the purpose of this banquet was so clear that anyone with a discerning eye could guess it.
After hearing the reason, Lin Qingtang's eyes widened in disbelief.
"The Queen asked you to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!?"
Lin Qingtang couldn't hold back his voice out of surprise.
Jiang Li immediately held her arm and signaled her to speak softly and not be so excited.
The girl covered her mouth obediently, but her expression was still stunned.
She knew how close Lili and the Crown Prince were, and now that the Queen had done this, Lili would surely be heartbroken...
And most importantly, she was even in the Queen's selection range!? This was truly terrifying...
"Don't worry, Lili! I have absolutely no intention of getting involved with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! But with so many girls here today, it seems the Queen wants to stuff quite a few people into the Crown Prince's backyard."
When Lin Qingtang said the first half of the sentence, he looked determined as if he wanted to join the party. Jiang Li couldn't help laughing when she saw him.
Of course she knew that she had no feelings for Li Jinyuan, but she didn't know which young man would marry Tangtang, who was free and unrestrained.
"This is normal procedure. How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's East Palace backyard be empty..."
Jiang Li's voice was soft and her expression was calm, which made Lin Qingtang feel even more distressed.
For some reason, she felt that Lili was just forcing herself, but in reality, she must be very sad...
"That being said, it's not your place to choose this concubine..."
Isn't this just rubbing salt into someone's wounds...
"What concubine?"
The sudden cold male voice immediately sent chills down the backs of the two whispering girls.
Jiang Li turned her head first, and when she saw Li Jinyuan standing not far behind her, her pupils couldn't help but tremble.
The man was dressed in dark purple court robes, his hair slightly disheveled at the temples. It was obvious that he had just finished court...
"Why are you here..."
Jiang Li asked subconsciously, but Li Jinyuan did not answer. Instead, he was still obsessed with the question he had just heard.
"What concubine? Why do you have to choose?"
Jiang Li pursed her lips, and looked towards the Queen with her big eyes, which were clearly black and white. For a moment, she didn't know how to talk to him.
To be honest, she was afraid that, just like last time, the man would be dissatisfied with the queen.
She knew how much he disliked the topic of taking a concubine. If he knew that the queen was so insistent on this matter, he would probably be even more dissatisfied with the queen.
Last time, the Queen took the initiative to send a bunch of girls to the Third Prince's Palace. The next day, he ran to the Queen Mother to plead for his second brother's marriage.
The Empress Dowager was already concerned about Li Yian who was wandering outside. When she saw that his biological mother not only did not care about his marriage, but instead went after Li Jinyuan who was already married and put someone in his backyard, she was furious.
During the time when Jiang Li and Li Jinyuan went to the border, the Empress Dowager gave the Queen an ultimatum, asking her to send someone to bring Li Yian back before the Spring Festival. All of a sudden, the Queen had to restrain her thoughts on Li Jinyuan.
But unexpectedly, the queen became worried again as soon as they returned.
Jiang Li was very conflicted, and her two little hands were twisted together behind her back.
But if I don't explain it clearly, he might mistakenly think that I'm going to take him a concubine...
Thinking of this, Jiang Li looked up at the man's dark face and was so frightened that her heart trembled.
Lin Qingtang, who was standing by, was very nervous because of the tense atmosphere between the two. Although she was a little afraid of Li Jinyuan, for the sake of her good sister's happiness, she couldn't bear to see Li Jinyuan misunderstand her like this.
"Your Highness...this isn't Lili's fault!"
"It wasn't Lili who chose a concubine for you! She was also ordered by the Queen... Besides, she's already very sad, you can't be mean to her..."
Lin Qingtang had never realized that she could speak so weakly. When Li Jinyuan glanced at her, the end of her voice immediately trembled. She was so pathetic...
Li Jinyuan's Adam's apple rolled, and his gaze fell back on the person with his little head hanging in front of him.
From his perspective, he could only see the top of her black hair. The man wanted to raise his hand to rub her head, but he had already begun to imagine how aggrieved that invisible little face must be...
"Why is Lili sad?"
His big hand touched the back of the girl's head as he wished, and with a light push, he let her rest against his chest.
Seeing this, Lin Qingtang couldn't help but smile like an auntie, and then she took advantage of the victory and responded on behalf of her good sister,
"What else could it be! Of course Lili doesn't want to choose a concubine for Your Highness the Crown Prince! No woman in the world would like to share a husband with someone else. Of course she'll be heartbroken..."
"And she has to choose the concubine herself. How disgusting!"
