The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
106. Negative Points
The spacious hall tonight looks festive. Lanterns are installed on the right and left sides of the street that divides the palace garden overgrown with summer flowers. From inside the hall came the boisterous sounds of several people who were busy chatting. Occasionally the sound of laughter also rumbled. The table inside looked almost full. All of the guests were almost all present.
Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu sat at one of the tables in the first row. Pei Zhang Xi patiently fed Lu Jing Yu with the snacks provided on the table. To his right, King Pei Zhong Min's table was filled only by Qin Sui Lan along with three concubines Pei Zhong Min and their children. Everyone at the table glanced hatefully at the happy young couple at the table next door.
In contrast to the dislike gaze from the right the gaze from the left table looked at this couple with a warm gaze. Beside him was the table of King Wei who occasionally smiled looking at their relationship. Yun Ying and Pei Wu Shan were married on equal terms. Both had their feelings before they got married. The two began to love each other in silence since they often met at the delivered Poetry forum held by the imperial academy. Both have a common interest in literature, especially poetry. Among the princes, Pei Wu Shan was a very visible prince not intending to ascend the throne.
Ignoring that, however, the voices of the girls and nobles were busy talking about Zhu Man Xie. About the kindness of Empress Xuan who had helped the victims of the drought by setting up a porridge-sharing tent for the poor using her own money.
"Empress Xuan is indeed very good. I heard he even sold his jewels to provide porridge for refugees coming from villages around the capital stranded by drought." A beautiful young girl whispered in the back. Not just him. Some girls talk about the same thing.
"It's a good move if King Xuan ascends the throne. A queen like Empress Xuan was what this empire needed the most. That way he would be able to help King Xuan rule."
"really. Both are very kind and have affection. If a couple like this inherits the throne, it would be nice."
"I think King Xuan is the most qualified. King Yuan went to the border. I guess the reason is not as simple as it spreads. It must be because of a mistake he made."
"I feel so too. While King Rui despite his qualifications, he had already declared that he would not accept any Concubines. If it was like that how could the descendants of the royal family be passed on?"
"Especially seeing King Rui who treated his empress spoiled. If they were to ascend the throne, in the end the fate of this empire would not be able to calm down. King Rui will be busy pleasing his wife without knowing how to carry out his duties."
"There's actually no problem with King Rui. Empress Rul is not good. If King Rui remarries and lowers the current position of Empress and gives it to his new wife, I think the title of Emperor can still be carried by her." Some of the people he spoke to nodded their heads in agreement. In their heads, they began to recall the young girl in his family who stood out who might be about to replace the position of empress Rui.
"But I think the one with more potential than King Rui remains King Xuan. King Xuan was the direct descendant of the Emperor she was the Queen. After all King Xuan was also the outer grandson of Lord Zhu. Empress Xuan was also her own granddaughter. If King Xuan. Wanting to ascend the throne I can't believe Mr. Zhu won't help him."
"Isn't King Xuan's RESIDENCE also willing to raise a concubine. The second and third wives were still empty. If King Xuan becomes Crown Prince, this is a good opportunity to include my daughter to become one of his wives." The muttered of a minister sitting near the table of Pei Qin Yang who was thrilling the talks of these palace officials.
In the end, the thinking of the officials was still the same. They would still support anyone who would later ascend to the throne as long as they could profit from it.
Zhu Man Xie who vaguely heard their conversation sneered inwardly. They have to see who is more likely now and see what they will do. Then he turned his head and saw Pei Qin Yang who was talking to the ministers. She hoped that her married husband would actually keep his word to try to get the position of crown prince. But regarding lifting the concubine, she had her own arrangements.
As for Pei Zhang Xi who despite looking very calm as he continued to feed Lu Jing Yu, he still heard everyone talk. Pei Zhang Xi gnashed his teeth upon hearing people start to compare the girls in their families with Lu Jing Yu.
Lu Jing Yu's attention was only seen from the food on the table as she saw that her father had already arrived she was walking towards him with a sincere smile. Behind him, there were of course Lu Jing Yi and Du Mei. These mother and daughter pairs certainly play their part well by being considerate mothers and sisters. They immediately showed their attention to Lu Jing Yu. They immediately approached Lu Jing Yu as soon as they saw her.
"Yu'er mom misses you so much. This few times your sister has come to Rui's residence to visit you but Aunt Wu always says that you are resting. Your mother and sister are very worried about your situation. Fear your womb is having trouble again. You're okay, right?" Du Mei touched Lu Jing Yu's hand.
Du Mei was very skilled at playing her role. His face even looked very worried with tears welling up in his eyes. If he is currently in the RESIDENCE of King Rui, it is certain he will look for a basin to vomit because of nausea.
"It's okay mom. I've just been feeling tired a lot lately. So ask aunt Wu not to accept the visit."
"It's okay. The most important thing right now is that he's seen you all right."
"real brother. I don't eat because I think about my sister. Sister is pregnant and is confirmed to be the residence of King Rui alone. She also had no previous experience of pregnancy. So I keep worrying."
Du Mei's voice was not low because the woman even amplified her voice. The few people who were around were certain to hear with class and again felt dissatisfied at Lu Jing Yu whom they thought was too arrogant.
Women who are pregnant often feel tired. But to refuse a mother who wants to visit him is a disgraceful act. Add to that the negative points that Lu Jing Yu collected without her noticing.
