Chapter 991 Willing to Give Up the Position of Imperial Concubine
Princess Yun'an has always been a straightforward person. She has endured for so long, but now seeing Prince Jin being wronged, she really can't bear it anymore.
"How come I don't know when Concubine Chen developed such a keen eye that she can tell whether an ancient painting is real or fake with just one glance?"
"What if you wronged Bage today?!"
It was because she knew that her royal brother doted on Concubine Chen too much, even to the point of not being able to distinguish right from wrong, that she wanted to settle this matter first.
Otherwise, after the truth comes out, my royal brother will make a big fuss about this matter and let it go, letting Concubine Chen go.
Princess Qingyang sat next to Princess Yun'an, gently pulled her sleeve, and whispered: "Third sister..."
Although they are the eldest princesses, the court is no longer the same as when their father was still alive. In the final analysis, their marriages are all decided by their brother.
The emperor doted on Concubine Chen so much. What if they offended Concubine Chen? Concubine Chen whispered something in the emperor's ear. If the emperor really listened, he would arrange a bad marriage for them or even send them to marry a foreign prince. What should they do?
The third sister has a bad temper, and she would never dare to offend Concubine Chen!
Little did she know that the more Princess Qingyang acted like this, the more Princess Yun'an refused to give in!
They are the sisters of the emperor and the eldest princesses of the Great Zhou. They should not fear the powerful!
Even if Imperial Concubine Chen seduces the emperor and whispers in his brother's ear, so what?
For her to watch myna being wronged and wronged but not dare to stand up and speak out would be an insult to the eldest princess's status!
Thinking of this, Princess Yun'an looked at Shen Zhinian and asked coldly, "Why is Concubine Chen silent?"
"Could it be that he knows that he is making up stories and slandering the starling, so he is speechless?!"
Shen Zhinian met Princess Yun'an's gaze and frowned slightly.
Because of her memories from her previous life, she knew that Princess Yun'an had a strong temper and eventually died tragically in a foreign land while trying to assassinate the Huns' Chanyu.
So in this life, even though Princess Yun'an offended her many times, Shen Zhinian never held a grudge against her.
I didn't expect that Princess Yun'an is still so confused today.
Although Princess Yun'an is not a bad person by nature, Shen Zhinian is not obligated to tolerate her all the time.
"If it is true that I wronged His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin during the Mid-Autumn Festival and almost affected the brotherhood between the Prince of Jin and Your Majesty, I will bear the consequences and am willing to give up this position of Imperial Concubine and retreat to the fourth concubine!"
As soon as Shen Zhinian finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene!
You know, although there is only one rank difference between the Imperial Concubine and the Four Concubines, the gap between them is like an inconceivable chasm!
What's more, Concubine Chen is the first concubine with a title since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is only one step away from the position of Imperial Concubine!
Most people believe that in His Majesty's mind, she is the next candidate for Queen.
But tonight, because of a painting called "Fishing Alone on a Cold River", Concubine Chen is willing to stop being a concubine? !
Especially the concubines in the harem, their breathing suddenly stagnated.
The eyes of some ambitious people brightened up!
They originally thought that since Concubine Chen was the most noble among all the concubines, they would never be able to surpass her in their lifetime. Unexpectedly, a turning point would occur at tonight's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
If there was no imperial concubine in the palace, they could all fight for the supreme position...
The color on Xuanpin's face faded instantly, and she shook her head repeatedly at Shen Zhinian: "Sister Concubine Chen, don't be impulsive!"
Although she was the person in the harem who had spent the longest time with Concubine Chen, she knew that Concubine Chen was always smart and would not do anything without confidence.
But the stakes are too high!
What if, what if Sister Concubine Chen was mistaken, and this painting "Fishing Alone in a Cold River" is real?
By then, Sister Chen Guifei will lose her position as Guifei for such a ridiculous reason and will become a laughing stock!
This is not a big deal. What is important is that it will be difficult for her to return to her previous position.
Xuanpin really didn't understand why Sister Guifei Chen would gamble her own future and target His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?
Could it be that there is some personal grudge between her and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin that she is not aware of?
At this moment, Concubine Xuan was in a state of confusion and her eyes were full of tension.
Concubine Xue also frowned slightly, wondering why Concubine Chen did this.
She put down the wine glass in her hand and said coldly, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone is gathered together for a banquet given by His Majesty. I believe that Concubine Chen is very happy to see her relatives whom she has not seen for a long time, so she drank a few more glasses of wine."
"How can you take drunken words seriously? The imperial kitchen should quickly prepare a bowl of hangover soup for Concubine Chen."
This paved a way for Shen Zhinian.
As long as she goes along, all the words just now can be regarded as drunken nonsense.
Concubine Chun had finally waited for Concubine Chen to dig her own grave, so how could she let go of such a great opportunity?
She suppressed her discomfort and chuckled, "I think that Concubine Chen is very sober, and Concubine Xue must be worrying too much."
Wangpin's eyes flickered, and she really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury.
But she understood the importance of Concubine Chen in His Majesty's heart.
She had finally turned from evil to good and gained His Majesty's trust. If she were to be disliked by His Majesty because of this, it would be a loss.
Therefore, Wangpin could only take a deep breath and suppress the impulse in her heart.
Anyway, a big tree attracts the wind. Who knows how many people want to take the opportunity to step on Concubine Chen today, and she won’t make any difference.
Maybe she could watch them fighting each other coldly and still be the one who benefits.
Thinking of this, Wangpin smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a sip.
Concubine Zhuang frowned slightly and looked at Concubine Chun with great disapproval: "Concubine Xue is right. Concubine Chen must have drunk too much and said something out of turn."
"We are both sisters in the harem, how can Sister Chun watch the fun without complaining?"
Concubine Chun sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm.
In her opinion, the one who most wanted to pull Concubine Chen down from the position of Concubine was Concubine Zhuang!
Who are you pretending to be a bodhisattva for? You don't even think it's disgusting!
However, there is a difference between the high and the low, and Concubine Chun only dared to think about this in her heart. If she said it out loud, she would definitely be punished.
Concubine Chun leaned back in her chair and said slowly, "Madam Zhuang, I am just discussing the matter at hand."
"Look, Concubine Chen is walking so steadily and her eyes are so clear. How can she look like she has drunk too much?"
"She's obviously fine, but you insist on saying she's drunk. Isn't that nonsense in front of His Majesty?"
Wangpin's eyes suddenly lit up!
She was worried that she couldn't find evidence of Concubine Chun and Prince Jin having an abnormal relationship, but she didn't expect Concubine Chun to come to her door on her own initiative.
So what is happening now cannot prove anything, but she can plant a thorn in His Majesty's heart!
