Chapter 692 Concubine Chang
Jiang Fenghua asked again: "Who was the emperor's former lover to the woman who looks like me?"
Could it be that Xie Shang liked her because she looked like the woman he liked? No wonder she always felt that when Xie Shang looked at her, there was a flash of sadness in his eyes first, and then joy.
Xie Shang did not answer her because he did not know how to answer. The woman in front of him was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, bright and beautiful, with rosy cheeks, and lively and active.
He said, "You said your name is Ruan Ruan, you are my queen, you are my wife, I don't have this blessing, I hope I won't owe her in the next life."
Jiang Fenghua frowned and suddenly woke up from her dream. When she woke up, she was still lying on Xie Shang. Xie Shang was still sleeping. His appearance had not changed and he was still as handsome as ever.
She felt dizzy and murmured, "Did I just dream? Why did I have such a strange dream? I thought Xie Shang and I had the same dream, but it turns out not to be the case!"
"Xie Shang, are you hiding a woman who looks like me in your heart?" She leaned close to his face and pinched it. It was alive. She grabbed his ears and pulled them. She was sure that she was not dreaming.
She took off her shoes, socks and clothes, went to bed and fell asleep. It was too tiring to hold a banquet. In the future, she must change the rules so that she would not have to hold banquets for every festival.
Just after Jiang Fenghua fell asleep, Xie Shang slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed his temples. He just felt uncomfortable after being drunk. He didn't have a good alcohol tolerance and would get drunk if he drank too much.
Jiang Fenghua had returned, also reeking of alcohol, and was sleeping quietly in her seat inside.
He remembered that he had a dream in which he dreamt of his past life. He felt really guilty for his whole life and he didn't even know her name, but he knew that she was his Ruan Ruan.
Xie Shang knew that he would feel very uncomfortable after being drunk. He stood up and saw that the sobering soup on the table was still warm. He took the sobering soup on the table and took a big sip, then brought it to Jiang Fenghua and said in a gentle voice: "Ruan Ruan, drink some sobering soup before going to bed, otherwise you will have a headache when you wake up tomorrow."
Jiang Fenghua responded with a nasal voice, "I'm so sleepy and want to sleep. Xie Shang, please don't bother me. I want to go back to my dream and ask clearly..."
Xie Shang frowned slightly, "What are you going back to?"
"In...a dream." she said.
Xie Shang didn't know what she meant, so he had to help her up and feed her some sobering soup bit by bit. Jiang Fenghua was very thirsty and drank half a bowl of it without realizing it. When she couldn't drink any more, she pushed Xie Shang away and went back to sleep.
Xie Shang touched her face and smiled happily, "Fortunately, I found you in this life, otherwise I would have to live alone again."
He held her waist and slept beside her again, fearing that she would be lost like in the dream.

At the same time, Shu Yan thought that since the emperor was drunk tonight and the queen was not with him, she would have a chance to get close to him, but she did not expect to fail.
On the way back to the palace, her face turned blue with anger. She was angry at herself for being so unlucky. Was she going to be an old maid in the palace for the rest of her life? She was not ugly. At least she was prettier than Concubine Song Shufei and more petite than Concubine Gao. Why didn't she have their good luck?
In terms of family background, the Shu family is not bad! How could the emperor not like her? There must be someone who is interfering. This person is the queen. But she also tried to curry favor with the queen, but it was useless.
The woman outside the palace today is obviously Concubine Han. Are you all blind?
Shu Xue's actions today were clearly intended to drag the Jiang family into the water, but unfortunately she failed. If it was proven that Concubine Han and Jiang Jinyan were involved, she would slap her hands violently, regretting that she failed. Her father did not allow her to get involved in dirty matters to avoid getting herself into trouble, and also told her to be careful with her words and actions, but she has been in the palace for so many years, and sooner or later she will be driven crazy.
Shu Yan felt more and more that the recent events in the palace were weird. People died one after another, and finally even Concubine Lan died, and she still wanted to join forces with her.
She sighed, and as she walked, she saw two women in very simple clothes walking towards her.
I saw Concubine Chang being supported by a maid and walking slowly towards the West Palace.
Shu Yan didn't know Concubine Chang either, and the two of them left each other without saying goodbye to each other.
She suddenly shouted at Concubine Chang and the other two, "Stop."
Concubine Chang and the maid exchanged glances and stopped. Shu Yan walked up to them and said in a deep voice, "Which palace are you from? Why don't you show respect to me?"
She was angry but had no place to vent, thinking she had met someone who was easy to bully. Seeing that the two did not speak, Shu Yan said again: "I am asking you a question."
The nanny beside Concubine Chang said in a deep voice, "Which palace are you from? How dare you shout in the palace? Look carefully, the person in front of you is Concubine Chang."
Shu Yan didn't believe it. After being scolded, she became even more unconvinced. "You, a lowly servant, dare to disrespect me. I will teach you a lesson."
She raised her hand and was about to hit him.
"Empress Ronghua, please wait. She should not be a palace maid. She might really be the dowager empress in the palace." The nanny who served Shu Yan saw that the woman opposite had her hair tied up and was not dressed like a servant, but like an empress in the palace.
The nanny whispered, "The late emperor had many concubines. I heard that the young ones were buried alive with the emperor, and the old ones who had princes lived with them. The one in front of us should be Concubine Chang who lives in the West Palace. She is the mother of the Fourth Prince and has the support of the Fourth Prince. We can't afford to offend her. Let's go."
Shu Yan was stunned. Why would the Queen Dowager be dressed like this? She was even worse than the ladies of the noble families outside the palace. Since she was the biological mother of the Fourth Prince, why was she still suffering in the palace?
According to etiquette, Shu Yan should pay respects to Concubine Chang, but she had no awareness of this. She thought that since she was the Concubine Chang, it would be difficult for her to fight her, so she prepared to leave.
Concubine Chang kept a faint smile on her lips, "You are Shu Ronghua, right?"
Shu Yan paused, "Concubine Chang knows me."
"I often hear the Fourth Princess mention the daughter of the Shu family. The most beautiful daughter of the Shu family has entered the palace to become a queen." Concubine Chang said in a gentle voice.
Shu Yan was in a good mood when she was praised for her beauty. She was the most beautiful daughter in the Shu family, but it was a pity that she had never been favored by the emperor.
Concubine Chang continued, "My lady, you drank too much at the Lantern Festival banquet! Your face is as rosy as a peach. I have some snacks here. My lady, please try them. You should fill your stomach after drinking so as not to hurt your body."
Seeing how kind she was, and seeing that the snacks she handed over were very delicate and cute, Shu Yan's eyes immediately lit up, "I have never seen such delicate snacks. Are these made by the Concubine Dowager?"
"I have lived in the West Palace for my whole life. I haven't learned any other skills, but I can make some cakes to pass the time. If you like them, I will give them to you!"
