Family Has a Concubine

The woman rescued from the lake was still lying there, about seventeen or eighteen years old, her eyes were tightly closed, but she could still see her pretty face. An orange-red dress was wetly attached to her body, making her look even more graceful.

"Madam Mei? Madam Mei?" Two servant girls rushed over and pushed the woman who fell into the water.

"Hmm...cough..." Mrs. Mei opened her eyes, then clutched her chest, looking uncomfortable, choking on water.

The two maids quickly patted her on the back.

"Mei Ji, are you alright?" Concubine Lu walked in, "Quick, carry it back!"

Mrs. Mei's face was frighteningly pale: "Sister Lu...I...vomit..." He choked out another mouthful of water.

"Slowly, at least spit out all the water." Madam Mei's maid said.

"What's going on, why did you fall into the water?" At this time, a luxuriously dressed woman walked in, in her early twenties, with a bright appearance. It was another side concubine of King Liang, surnamed Chen.

"Side concubine, I saw it." In the crowd, a pretty girl of thirteen or fourteen suddenly said, "This girl knocked someone down."

As the noble lady spoke, she looked towards a place not far away.

Everyone followed her line of sight, and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl standing in the crowd with a small white face.

A chest-length skirt with dark pattern of cherry blossoms on the top and red on the bottom, and the skirt tied like a butterfly on the chest hangs down to the hem of the skirt. On the head is a simple single-snail bun, with only a peach blossom inlaid with rubies Hua Sheng. The skin is fair and tender, the eyebrows are curved, and a pair of watery black grape eyes flashed with panic.

Seeing her, Ye Tangcai was startled, isn't this Princess Liang Zhao Yingqi?

Concubine Liang seldom appears in front of the public, some people don't recognize her, but many people still have an impression of her.

A lady said: "This seems to be Princess Liang!"

Another one said: "The one who fell into the water was the prince's concubine, who was accepted into the house a month ago."

Everyone suddenly realized that they were jealous, and they couldn't help looking at Zhao Yingqi with contempt.

A noble lady said with a low smile: "This Concubine Liang doesn't want Mrs. Mei to be favored, so she pushes people into the water. It's too much."

Another young woman said: "With her like this, she is not qualified to be a housekeeper for His Royal Highness Liang Wang, but she got lucky and became a princess, so she should keep her own place. Why bother to act like a monster like this."

Concubine Liang's family background is low, and her personality is soft and deceptive. People here look down on her.

In the eyes of these aristocrats, Concubine Liang is a grass chicken climbing high branches, and she has no other talents, so she is not worthy of being a princess. Moreover, King Liang is still so handsome and charming, and his first wife is actually such a person! It's hard to believe.

"Princess pushed you? Meiji, is it true?" Concubine Chen gloated in her eyes.

Mei Ji frowned: "I, I don't know..." Then she cried aggrievedly.

"My lord!" Concubine Lu suddenly called out.

I saw the people behind make way, and Liang Wang, who was dressed in a purple noble python robe, walked in with a sullen face: "What's the matter?"

Concubine Chen walked up to King Liang, curled her lips: "Sister Meiji was pushed into the water. The little girl said that she saw the concubine pushing her. We don't know what's going on." She swept Zhao Ying Pray for a look.

He said he didn't know what was going on, but everyone here knew it well. The princess was jealous of a concubine Ji and pushed her into the water.

Liang Wangjun's face darkened, and he glanced at Zhao Yingqi coldly. Zhao Yingqi's face turned even paler, she lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.

"It's just a misunderstanding, which made everyone laugh." Concubine Lu hurriedly smoothed things over. She knows the principle of not showing family ugliness outside, and enough is enough. "It's already noon, and there is a banquet at Xuyi Pavilion, everyone, please come to the table."

Only then did everyone leave in whispers.

Mei Ji closed her eyes weakly and bit her lip. The witty old woman brought a small soft sedan chair and helped Meiji get on the sedan chair. Meiji glanced at King Liang, and she couldn't help but shed tears: "My lord..."

"I'm going to see the prince first, and I'll see you later." King Liang held her soft and boneless little hand.

Only then did Meiji laugh through her tears, hummed and got on the sedan chair.

Concubine Lu and Concubine Chen felt sour and uncomfortable when they saw Meiji and Liang Wang getting bored.

King Liang cast a cold glance at Zhao Yingqi, Zhao Yingqi couldn't stay any longer, and ran away with her skirt hanging down her head.

King Liang looked at the direction in which she disappeared, and also turned around and strode away.

After leaving Yuhu Lake, there is a willow branch passage with few people. Liang Wang said coldly: "This stupid woman, one day my king will divorce her!"

Yan Dong said: "Retire, the position of concubine is vacant, Concubine Chen and Concubine Lu are going to fight."

"That's all she needs." Liang Wang snorted coldly.

Yandong and Yanxi looked at each other and remained silent.

This concubine was given to the prince by Empress Zheng, and the prince was very disgusted. And what she wants, what she doesn't know how to do. but……

By the fishing lake——

As King Liang left, the crowd dispersed one after another.

"Little sister-in-law." Chu Miaoshu and Chu Miaohua ran over not far away. Chu Miaoshu was out of breath: "Didn't you say there is excitement here?"

Concubine Lu turned her head and said with a smile: "Sister Tang, please take your seats!"

Ye Tang gave a hum, and together with the sisters of the Chu family, Bao Yue and Wu Xuemei, followed Concubine Lu to the Xuyi Pavilion where the banquet was held.

After everyone entered the table, they began to eat.

Ye Tangcai picked up the food twice with the chopsticks, absent-mindedly, she said to Chu Miao, "I'm going to change clothes."

This meant going to the latrine, Chu Miaohua and the two nodded, and Ye Tangcai left the table and went out.

At this time, the maids were also invited down for dinner, so Qiuju was not there.

Ye Tang plucked Xu Yixuan, followed the cobblestone path, scattered flowers and willows all the way, turned around, and finally found the garden when he first came to Liang Wang's mansion and met Liang Wang.

Surrounded by purple and red houses, lush vegetation and flowers everywhere, an octagonal gazebo can be vaguely seen not far away, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard, it is undoubtedly the place last time.

Ye Tangcai walked to the river, under the osmanthus tree, on the big bluestone, a petite figure was facing her, it was Zhao Yingqi.

Ye Tangcai just came out to try her luck, she didn't think she was actually here.

She lowered her head, revealing a section of her snow-white neck, and was still reading. But this time it was the one she gave her last time.

The light yellow flowers of the osmanthus tree on the head fell between the lines in the book, and with a flick of a slender and slightly pointed finger, the yellow flowers fell into the water, whirled a little, and drifted away with the flowing water.

When Ye Tangcai walked behind her, Zhao Yingqi turned around and said with a smile, "I've finished reading this book again."

"I brought you a lot." Ye Tangcai was wearing a wide-sleeved cross-neck skirt with big sleeve pockets today, and took out three books inside, fanning them out, "Is it all here?"

Zhao Yingqi was very happy, her slender fingers brushed over several books, but only took one: "I can't hide too many books."

Ye Tangcai felt bad for her, she didn't even have the freedom to read.

Zhao Yingqi was not in a hurry to read anymore, she just returned the old book to Ye Tangcai, and put the new book into her arms: "I don't know your name yet?"

"I am the third grandma of the Chu family, and my name is Ye Tangcai."

Zhao Yingqi's face was joyful: "Well, will you come more in the future?"

Ye Tangcai frowned slightly: "Maybe not."

Disappointment flashed across Zhao Yingqi's eyes, and she said again: "Are you here to see me today?"

Ye Tangcai smiled and said, "Half and half."

She knew that the reason why King Liang sent her a post was because Chu Yunpan wanted to protect her. Let the prince be afraid and dare not go too far. King Liang sent her a post as a means, so she doesn't have to come. But on the one hand, she wanted to watch the big drama between the prince and Bai Ruyan, and on the other hand, she also thought of Zhao Yingqi.

Zhao Yingqi was very happy to hear her words.

In the past, when there were banquets at home, she never participated in them all, and just stayed quietly in the room. The last time she read a book here, there was a girl who approached and talked with her, and even gave her a book.

She was happy, but she didn't know who the girl was.

Today, at the prince's birthday banquet, she thought, the last time she was able to come to the palace, she should be familiar with the prince or the people in the palace. I don't know if the prince's birthday banquet will come.

So she ran outside and didn't want this to happen.

"Princess!" A stern voice sounded not far away.

Ye Tangcai frowned, turned around, and saw the old woman in black standing among the flowers again!

The nun in black said coldly: "After such a big incident, the concubine is still playing here, go back quickly!"

Zhao Yingqi's face turned pale, thanked Ye Tangcai, then turned and left.

With a sullen face, Ye Tang glanced at the nun in black. This nanny is really powerful, I'm afraid it's someone from King Liang, who made Zhao Yingqi look like this.

Seeing Zhao Yingqi's back disappear into the flowers, she frowned and had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Zhao Yingqi followed the old woman on the white jade passage, walked through the garden all the way, and soon returned to her own courtyard, Pingting Xiaozhu.

Just after stepping into the courtyard gate, I saw the servant girl kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, and there was even the sound of throwing teacups in the room.

As soon as Zhao Yingqi's face changed, she knew that King Liang was inside.

She stood outside the door, and soon saw four servant girls leaving the room with pale expressions. She didn't dare to look at it anymore, this was the maid who served her, and they always had to change batches in a month or two.

"Princess, go in quickly!" The nanny said coldly, standing outside the door, not intending to go in.

Zhao Yingqi pursed her lips, and walked in to the large living room. Looking west, there was no one in the living room, but she saw the tall figure of King Liang sitting on the grand master's chair by the east bedroom window.

In the big room, the light was bright, but Liang Wang's charming and romantic face was icy, staring at her.

Zhao Yingqi walked in, but stood far away, with her head down, not daring to make a sound.

Liang Wang said coldly: "What are you doing at the fishing lake today? You got everyone into the water!"

Zhao Yingqi lowered her eyes: "Go out for a stroll, there are too many people... I don't know who squeezed them, and knocked them into the water." When it came to this, she was also confused.

Liang Wang's face darkened: "Do you never use your brain when you go out?"

Zhao Yingqi bowed her head.

Seeing her standing far away, King Liang's expression turned colder: "What are you doing standing so far away? Get over here! Take off your clothes, lie on the bed, and don't move!"

Zhao Yingqi trembled all over, had no choice but to undress, almost crying. Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the junior high school, and I have to take off my clothes and lie on the bed without moving.
