Chapter 320 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Sixty-nine)
Ji Wei looked at Cui Li in surprise. She saw two concubines in the pavilion from afar. One was Gu Chongyi, and the other one was Concubine Cui when she looked closer.
Concubine Cui, who hasn't left Chengqian Palace for such a long time, actually came out!
Moreover, Concubine Cui looked radiant, her complexion was better than before, and her every move was full of charm. If she stood next to Cui Li, she would definitely be dimmed.
Besides, she was pregnant. She dared to show off in front of people like Ma Chongyuan because these women were of lower status than her. In front of the queen and the imperial concubine, she could only act like a quail.
She was afraid that Concubine Cui would find a reason to punish her by making her kneel. If she had a miscarriage, her hope for rebirth would be shattered.
That's why she wanted to avoid it quietly, but she didn't expect that she would be discovered after hiding and watching for a while. She didn't expect that Concubine Cui seemed not to recognize her.
"Why would Your Majesty ask such a question? How many times have you seen me?"
Cui Li: "I injured my head and lost my memory, but His Majesty has told me many things, but I just can't tell him. I finally recovered from my injury and can finally come out and get some fresh air."
Amnesia? Really?
So she hasn't left the palace for so long because she's lost her memory? The emperor won't let her out?
Ji Wei saw the curiosity in Cui Li's eyes and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am indeed from the Ji Kingdom. My sister and I were just enjoying the scenery in the Imperial Garden, but my sister has returned to the palace first, and I am also preparing to go back. I didn't expect Your Majesty to have lost her memory. By the way, is Your Majesty's headache feeling better?"
Cui Li: "Thank you for your concern, Consort Ji. My headache is much better now."
Cuiyun then remembered that there was a shortcut for Ji Zhaoyi to return to the palace that passed through the Bamboo Forest Garden. She should have inquired more about the situation today and avoided these concubines.
Cui Li: "You should sit down and rest for a while. The weather is nice today. Please enjoy the freshly brewed tea, Ji Zhaoyi."
At this time, the sunlight was shining through the gaps in the bamboo forest, and the fine and dense sunlight fell around the pavilion, which was indeed very warm.
Ji Wei forced a smile and didn't dare to drink the tea. She just picked up the teacup and covered it with her sleeve, pretending to take a sip of tea.
I wondered what Concubine Cui meant by keeping her here just to have tea?
"The tea here, Madam, is fragrant and delicious. It is indeed good tea."
Cui Li looked at her holding her stomach and asked.
Cui Li: "Are you feeling unwell in your stomach? Do you want to see a doctor?"
Ask the imperial physician?
She's not sick.
Ji Wei put down her hand and said quickly:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The prince is usually very well behaved and rarely makes a fuss. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore."
Cui Li's smile faded a bit, and her eyes fell on Ji Wei's abdomen.
Cui Li: "Really? I saw you put your hand on your abdomen and thought you had abdominal pain, but it turns out it's just a mother's instinct. Take a closer look, your belly is slightly bulging. You are three months pregnant, right?"
Ji Wei went out today and deliberately wore some clothes that showed off her figure. The tight clothes showed off her curves.
"Reporting to the Queen, it has been less than two months."
Cui Li: "Really? Then your baby is doing very well, even better than others who are three months pregnant."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind words. His Majesty dotes on you so much, I believe you will be pregnant soon. Then, my prince will have brothers and sisters to keep him company."
Ji Wei gently stroked her belly and lowered her head shyly, which made Gu Xiaoyu very depressed. She wanted to ridicule Ji Wei severely. Sister Cui has been pregnant for a long time, and there is no need for you to show off here.
Soon you'll have younger brothers and sisters, clearly older brothers or sisters! We'll see if you'll panic then!
"Sister Cui, it's getting late. Why don't we go back first?"
Cui Li nodded, and Gu Chongyi quickly helped Cui Li up and left.
Only after Concubine Cui's sedan chair left did Ji Wei return to the palace from the Bamboo Forest Garden. Along the way, she always felt that she had overlooked something.
But what did she overlook?
