Li Jingui said somewhat sadly, "For someone like me, if I want to change my fate, do I have any other choice?" So, even though she knew that Huang Rongxian had bad intentions and that the Fourth Prince would not let her off easily, Li Jingui still walked forward without hesitation.

The woman was silent for a moment. “You are the one who keeps saying that you are not convinced, and you are the one who feels wronged now. Today, the master will teach you a lesson: do not regret after making a move. Since you have done it, there is nothing to regret.” Isn’t it the same when she made a wrong move in chess and ended up in this situation now?

Li Jingui put away her negative emotions and said obediently, "Thank you very much for your teachings, Master."

The woman began her inquiry, "How is Ulanara now?"

Ulanara clan? Isn't the only Ulanara clan in Prince Yong's mansion the wife? Li Jingui couldn't help but wonder who this woman who called herself Ulanara clan was.

But on the surface, Li Jingui did not dare to delay and answered, "If the master is talking about Prince Yong's wife, the fourth wife is well-known for her virtue, and her eldest son is smart and sensible. Who wouldn't envy the fourth wife for marrying well?"

The woman's face changed drastically. She squeezed Li Jingui's hand hard and said, "I asked you to open your mouth because I want to hear how proud the Ulanara family is now?"

Li Jingui tried to pull her hand back in pain, but the hand was pressed tightly under the woman's shoe. Li Jingui did not dare to anger the woman again. "I am just a maid cleaning Changchun Garden. I really don't know anything about Prince Yong's Mansion."

The woman calmed down and asked based on her past experience, "Then Prince Yong's mansion has no concubines, no concubines to cause trouble for the Ulanara family?"

Li Jingui knew that, "There are two concubines in the palace. One is Concubine Li who gave birth to the third prince, and the other is Concubine Nian who was selected in the fifty-second year. The other favored ones include Concubine Qi, Princess Lü who gave birth to the second princess, and Princess Fei who entered the palace in this year's selection."

The woman listened to these familiar and unfamiliar names and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a new generation replacing the old. Back then, Qi Yuebin could hardly see the master once a month, but now she's a concubine."

Seeing the woman's interest, Li Jingui continued to tell her what she knew, "I heard that Concubine Qi is particularly good at playing the pipa, and it was with this skill that she won the prince's favor."

The woman laughed out loud when she heard this. Let me tell you a joke: Qi Yuebin is good at playing the pipa.

"Do you know what the Qi family does?" the woman asked Li Jingui.

Li Jingui shook his head.

"He made contributions on the battlefield." The woman revealed the answer. How could a general on horseback teach his daughter to think so much? In the woman's memory, Qi Yuebin was a bit heroic, but his quiet appearance concealed that temperament.

"I have no idea about that." Li Jingui had no idea what Qi Yuebin's family did, let alone how Qi Yuebin had undergone such a transformation.

After talking about Qi Yuebin, the woman talked about Nian Shilan again, "Concubine Nian has the support of the Nian family, and she is so respectful to the Ulanara family?"

They are all concubines, who would believe that Nian Shilan didn't have any thoughts of rebellion?

I don't know much about this Li Jingui. "Since she entered the palace, Concubine Nian has been the most favored by the prince, but I have never heard of Concubine Nian being disrespectful to the concubine. I think it may be because of the help of Lord Jiang outside, Concubine Nian dare not offend the concubine."

Nian Gengyao had not yet made any military achievements and was not yet the mighty General Nian. Facing Jiang Chen, a senior official in the central government who held some power in the Ministry of Personnel, Nian Shilan had to bow his head, and Nian Gengyao also had to bow his head.

Because the woman was trapped in Qujinxuan, she had no way of getting any news from inside the mansion, but her family would still periodically send her some news from the previous dynasty, warning her not to offend anyone casually.

Jiang Chen has been promoted quickly in recent years, and the woman has been repeatedly warned about this. The current situation is different from the past. The Guarjia clan has been liquidated because of the deposed crown prince, so she must not offend Jiang Chen and Yixiu again. Therefore, even if she was unwilling in her heart, she did not do anything out of line.

The woman even felt regretful in her heart. If she had known that the prince was so unreliable, there would be no need for her to be so impatient. If she were still a concubine, she could at least protect the family.

I'm just thankful that my father knew how to adapt to the times and followed the Fourth Prince, bringing the whole family through the turmoil of the deposed Crown Prince, and even got promoted to a higher level. But in the end, I was the one who implicated him and he gradually faded out of the Fourth Prince's core circle of power.

The woman was silent for too long, and Li Jingui thought she wanted to hear something else, so she continued to talk about Jiang Chen, "Lord Jiang is now the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Who knows, one day, the emperor may be so pleased that he will promote Lord Jiang to the position of Shangshu and put him in charge of the Ministry of Personnel."

Li Jingui didn't know the twists and turns in the officialdom, but Jiang Chen was too legendary. She grew up listening to Jiang Chen's stories. When she was on duty, she and other young palace maids also secretly looked at Jiang Chen. He was indeed as handsome and elegant as described in the opera. In her shallow view, the position of assistant minister or minister was nothing. Lord Jiang would definitely become a king and a prime minister.

Seeing Li Jingui's longing expression, the woman also remembered the day when she was completely sent to hell. At that time, she was only concerned about making sure Yi Xiu died without a burial place, and she didn't pay attention to Jiang Chen's appearance.

"What's wrong? You say you want to serve the prince, but in your heart you're thinking about that wild man." Thinking of Jiang Chen's most embarrassing day, the woman spoke impolitely.

Li Jingui has gradually begun to adapt to the woman's mood swings. "Lord Jiang has a bright future, and he is willing to stay with the princess and live a clean life. Not to mention me, every woman in the world envies Princess Duanjing's good fortune."

The woman was not envious at all. As long as she thought of Jiang Chen and Yi Xiu's staged Jedi counterattack, she had no good feelings towards Jiang Chen. Yes, although there was no evidence, the woman's intuition told her that the two of them had teamed up to trick her.

Being prejudiced against Jiang Chen, the woman naturally did not understand Li Jingui's admiration for him. She just thought that Li Jingui was blind and actually thought that Jiang Chen, who was as black as ink, was a gentleman.

"Alright, put away your silly look, it's disgusting to look at." The woman crushed Li Jingui's hand again, "What I dislike most in my life is the Ulanara family and your Lord Jiang. If you can't learn to speak in the future, you don't have to speak anymore."

Li Jingui felt that the woman was really sick. This was not right, and that was not right. She was also miserable. She thought that she could get rid of the hard life when she came to Prince Yong's mansion, but she was thrown into this broken place and forced to serve a violent crazy woman.

"Yes, I will obey the master's orders. The master's wishes are the slave's wishes. If I say a nice word again in the future, the master doesn't need to do anything, I will smash my mouth myself."
