Chapter 302 Concubine in Prince Chen’s Mansion
Chapter 302 Concubine in Prince Chen’s Mansion
"Princess, don't be too upset. Anyway, the Imperial Concubine is trying to make things difficult for you. She is just repeating the same words over and over again. Just listen with your left ear and let it out with your right ear. Don't take it seriously." Xiuxue looked at her master with heartache and comforted her:
"That's easy for you to say," Jiang Chunxin said, but she didn't plan to say anything more. "By the way, how did you find out about the front yard? Did you find out why the prince has been resting in the front yard all this time?"
Jiang Chunxin was also very surprised that Prince Chen had been resting in the front yard for some time. After all, this had never happened before, so she naturally wanted to find out what was going on.
"The silver was distributed, but after asking around, the servants who received the silver all said that the prince was busy with official duties." Xiuxue said:
Eunuch Zhao was very strict in his management of people, so as long as Eunuch Zhao specifically instructed, no servant would dare to reveal the matter regarding the front yard. So Xiuxue felt very helpless in a situation like this where they only took money but did not do anything.
"Busy with official duties," Jiang Chunxin sneered. "To put it bluntly, the prince is just a filler in the court. Usually he just takes on some minor duties, so how can he be busy with official duties?"
Jiang Chunxin is different from Lan Kouhua. She knows nothing about what happens in the court of Prince Chen. This is the difference between a concubine and a wife.
Although Prince Chen is deeply loved by the Emperor, he is just loved and is not valued by the Emperor.
Therefore, after the Prince of Chen entered the court, the Emperor would not assign important official duties to the Prince of Chen in order to prevent his beloved son from being tired. Instead, he would arrange some easy and undemanding tasks for him to do.
When she thought of this, Jiang Chunxin felt very unbalanced. They were both the imperial concubine's biological sons, so why was there such a big difference between them?
Look at Prince Chen's elder brother, Prince Ying. As soon as he entered the court, he was highly valued by the Emperor and was the most promising prince to succeed the throne. In short, compared with his own brother, Prince Chen was no different from a waste.
But such a waste is a man who favors his concubine and neglects his wife. In short, Jiang Chunxin really feels sorry for herself.
"Princess, do you think the prince has fallen in love with a woman outside?" Xiurong said uncertainly:
"This..." Jiang Chunxin frowned, "It is indeed possible. Otherwise, why would the prince be willing to not see his beloved concubine for so many days? Maybe he really has fallen in love with some woman outside."
"Princess, if this is true, then what should we do?" Xiuxue said worriedly, "The fourth young lady has been in the mansion for so many days, but she still hasn't seen the prince. If the prince's heart is seduced by another woman, then the fourth young lady's dream of sleeping with the prince will be even more distant. After all, the prince doesn't even enter the backyard now."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Chunxin sneered. "If the prince's heart is really seduced by a woman outside, shouldn't Concubine Lan be the one who should be most anxious? Why should this princess be in such a hurry? As for the fourth young lady, there is even less reason to be anxious. Maybe Chunxi can play a greater role."
"Arrange someone to let the people in Concubine Lan's courtyard know that the prince has a woman outside who he likes. Concubine Lan has always been arrogant because of the prince's favor. If she knew that the prince had a woman outside who he likes, I don't believe she wouldn't make trouble with the prince."
"I'll do it right away." Xiuxue said and immediately walked outside.
That night, Prince Chen was really upset, so he went for a walk in the garden alone.
As for what's bothering me...
On the one hand, he didn't know how to face Lan Kouhua in the future. After all, he did like Lan Kouhua over the years. But since he had the dream for half a month, Prince Chen's feelings towards Lan Kouhua became very complicated.
On the other hand, that was the woman he truly loved in his dream, and Prince Chen was eager to find her. He deeply felt that since God had given him a reminder, this pair of star-crossed lovers would definitely meet again in this life, so Prince Chen couldn't wait to find her.
But the problem is, where can he find people in this vast sea of people?
"The moon is above the treetops, I miss you, I am worried. There is no way to get rid of this feeling, it just leaves my brows but stays in my heart."
As soon as Prince Chen arrived at the garden, he heard a sad voice. The voice gave Prince Chen a very familiar feeling, but for a moment he could not remember where he had heard it.
"My lady, it's late at night, let's go back quickly!" Xiao Zhu said behind Jiang Chunxi:
"Xiao Zhu, please let me stay for a while!" Jiang Chunxi's voice was still sad. "Do you think this person really has a past life or a present life? I have been dreaming about a man recently. Although I can't see his face clearly in my dreams, I can clearly feel how much I like him."
Xiao Zhu: "My lady, it was just a dream, why do you take it seriously?"
"No, it was definitely not just a dream," Jiang Chunxi said firmly, "If it was just a dream, how could it explain why I kept dreaming about the same man for so many days? I could feel my burning love for that man in my dream, so I'm sure it wasn't just a dream."
"My lady, I think you are possessed by a demon," Xiao Zhu said helplessly, "Even if it was not just a dream, and there really is such a thing as past lives and present lives, so what? Past lives are past lives, and the most important thing is to look at the present."
"You are now a concubine of Prince Chen's Mansion. Even if you don't expect to be favored, you shouldn't have any wild thoughts. You think about the man in your dream all day long, and you are crazy. I am worried when I see you."
"Alas!" Jiang Chunxi sighed, "It seems that I have really gone insane. But Xiaozhu, I really can't resign myself to this. If I hadn't been forced by my stepmother and step-sister, I wouldn't have been carried into Prince Chen's mansion. If I hadn't entered Prince Chen's mansion, then maybe the man in my dreams and I could have continued our relationship."
Xiao Zhu: "My lady, I don't know whether you can continue your relationship with the man in your dream. I only know that you can marry someone else and become his wife, but you were forced by the lady and the princess to become the concubine of the prince. The most annoying thing is that you can't complain about the princess after entering the prince's mansion, and you have to act obedient and submissive."
"My lady, I really feel sorry for you," Xiao Zhu's voice choked with sobs. "It's her own business that the princess is not favored by the prince. Why does she involve the young lady in this? She keeps saying that she loves you as her sister, but if she really loves you as her sister, how could she let you be the prince's concubine?"
"Don't say any more," Jiang Chunxi said sadly, "Who made me a concubine's daughter?"
"It's windy," Jiang Chunxi pulled her coat closer, "Let's go! Let's go back."
