Chapter 828: One person goes to the summer resort to enjoy happiness
The eyes of Prince Jin deepened, and while caressing Concubine Qi's cheek, he said, "My royal brother is not a fool."
"He may not be without suspicion of me. I have some dealings with the Shen family, so he may be suspicious of the Shen family. But if I have too frequent dealings with the Shen family, he would wonder if I did it on purpose."
Nothing is too much or too little.
Therefore, after Zhou's funeral, Prince Jin never visited the Shen family again.
Concubine Qi climbed onto Prince Jin's neck and whispered sweetly in his ear: "So the prince took a roundabout way."
"You don't associate with the Shen family openly, but you have some relationship with the Lu family. A small family like the Lu family, other than being a relative of the Shen family, what is there for you to associate with? Your Majesty will definitely think about it..."
Prince Jin pinched Concubine Qi's cheek and said, "You really understand me the best."
"It's a pity that Lu Jianglin has been sent to Xingyang."
But for King Jin, it doesn’t matter.
Because Lu Jianglin is gone, but his wife is still here!
Shen Nanqiao is the key.
She is Shen Maoxue's biological daughter, Concubine Chen's sister, and the Fourth Prince's aunt!
Lu Jiangyue has frequent contacts with her, doesn't that mean she also has a relationship with Prince Jin's Mansion?
After leaving Concubine Qi, Prince Jin went to the courtyard where Lu Jiangyue lived.
Although the Prince of Jin had a hidden flaw, he was extremely generous with money and the concubines in his mansion.
Therefore, when many concubines gathered together privately, they would say things like "When His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is not beating us, he is very good to us."
The courtyard where Lu Jiangyue lives now is bigger than the entire Lu family before. She has already lived a life of luxury and having servants at her disposal!
This is the life Lu Jiangyue has always dreamed of!
But... sometimes when the King of Jin drank wine to favor her, she would suffer a little...
At the beginning, Lu Jiangyue was still thinking that once she gained the favor of King Jin, she might be able to become a concubine in the future!
But now...she just hoped that Prince Jin would never come to her yard.
She really couldn't bear the favor of His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and just wanted to live a good life...
Who knew that at this time, the maid Chuntao came in and reported: "Master, the prince is coming this way, you should get ready to receive him!"
Lu Jiangyue's face turned pale instantly!
However, before she could react, Prince Jin entered the yard.
Lu Jiangyue could only hold back the fear in her heart, and forced a smile to greet him: "My concubine greets the prince!"
King Jin said calmly, "No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When he got closer and saw that there was no smell of alcohol on Prince Jin, Lu Jiangyue breathed a sigh of relief.
In most cases, His Royal Highness Prince Jin would only beat people after drinking. He didn't drink today, so she shouldn't be beaten...
After entering the inner room, Prince Jin asked in a gentle voice, "You have been in the palace for so long, are you used to it?"
In the past, Lu Jiangyue had almost been bewitched by Prince Jin's handsome and gentle appearance countless times and fell in love with him.
However, next time, King Jin will beat her to death again...
Until now, she still has many bruises on her body...
Seeing Prince Jin like this again, Lu Jiangyue didn't feel moved at all. She only felt terrified. She said carefully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine..."
The King of Jin nodded and explained the purpose of his visit: "Your brother and mother have already gone to Xingyang, leaving only your sister-in-law in the capital. She must be lonely on weekdays."
"When you have time, go visit her more often and talk to her."
Lu Jiangyue didn't understand why His Royal Highness Prince Jin suddenly cared about Shen Nanqiao?
Moreover, her relationship with her sister-in-law had deteriorated a long time ago. Every time her sister-in-law saw her, she acted as if she had seen the murderer of her mother. Why would she go up to her and make herself miserable?
But since the King of Jin had said so, Lu Jiangyue did not dare to refute, so she lowered her head and said, "I understand, I will go to visit my sister-in-law tomorrow."
King Jin nodded slightly, then stood up and left.
Lu Jiangyue finally felt relieved.
Fortunately, I didn’t get beaten today…
Chun Tao looked at her with a look of disappointment: "My Lord, the prince finally came to your courtyard with great difficulty, why don't you try to keep him here?"
"Do you really want to be a concubine with no name or status for the rest of your life?"
Doesn’t Lu Jiangyue also want to climb up?
But the prerequisite for climbing up is to be able to withstand the beatings...
Not everyone is Concubine Qi.
However, even if Lu Jiangyue told Chuntao these words, the other party would not understand and would only think that she was incompetent.
Lu Jiangyue said coldly: "Are you the master or am I the master? It is not your turn as a maid to tell me what to do!"
After staying in Prince Jin's Mansion for so long, she is no longer like when she first arrived and Chuntao controlled everything for her.
Chun Tao sneered. Although she used honorifics, her tone was not polite at all: "Of course you are the master."
"But I am doing this for your own good. Why are you so ungrateful?"
She is just the sister of a small-time county magistrate. She entered the Prince of Jin's Mansion by such despicable means as climbing into bed. Does she really think of herself as the master?
ridiculous!
Lu Jiangyue looked at Chuntao, his face darkening slightly: "Tell me, when I go out tomorrow, if I tell His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin that you didn't serve him well at all, what will His Royal Highness do?"
Chuntao's face froze slightly.
To be able to serve in the palace, observing people’s words and expressions is the most basic skill.
The prince definitely did not let Lu Jiangyue return to the Lu family as a guest for no reason.
If she messed up everything, Chuntao couldn't even imagine what would happen to her...
She suppressed her resentment, knelt down in front of Lu Jiangyue, lowered her head and said, "Master, calm down!"
"I am also worried that you will not be able to win the favor of the prince and your life in the palace will be difficult..."
"If you don't like it, I will stop talking in the future..."
Lu Jiangyue snorted coldly.
No matter how nameless a concubine is, her status is higher than that of an ordinary maid. Do you really think she is made of clay and would be ridden on by a maid?
After breakfast the next day, Lu Jiangyue sat in the carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion and went all the way to Lu Mansion.
When they arrived at their destination, the housekeeper of the Lu family opened the door and saw her, and immediately said politely, "My aunt is back!"
"It's just that... Madam is not at home now."
Lu Jiangyue frowned.
She came back on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to make friends with her sister-in-law. How could she explain to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin when she returned without her sister-in-law?
Lu Jiangyue asked: "Did my sister-in-law tell me when she would be back?"
The housekeeper said, "My dear aunt, the lady went to the summer resort outside Beijing half a month ago. I'm afraid she won't be back in the short term."
My sister-in-law knows how to enjoy herself. She didn't go to Xingyang to serve her husband and mother-in-law. Instead, she went to the Summer Resort to enjoy herself alone!
Lu Jiangyue couldn't even imagine such a leisurely and comfortable life.
