Prince Huai and his wife arrived at the gate of the palace, playing and joking all the way. Zhao Huaijin got off the carriage first. He straightened his clothes before helping Song Qingwan get off.

Just now in the carriage, Song Qingwan almost stripped him naked. If the location did not allow it, Zhao Huaijin had no doubt that his princess would eat him.

The two followed the eunuch who led the way all the way to the Queen's Zhengyang Palace. As soon as they entered, Song Qingwan spotted the Concubine Wan sitting in the last seat.

She blinked at Wan Guiren excitedly, and Wan Guiren responded with a smile.

"Your son and the princess come to pay their respects to the queen mother. Pay their respects to the queen mother."

Zhao Huaijin took Song Qingwan and bowed deeply. Although Concubine Shun was his biological mother, the Queen was the master of the harem, so he still had to do things for the sake of face.

The queen seemed not to have heard anything and just kept playing with her armor without asking the two men to get up.

"Jin'er and Wan'er, please stand up. The queen is old, and you two are talking too softly."

Naturally, Concubine Shun couldn't bear to see her son and daughter-in-law being looked down upon, so she spoke in a sarcastic tone.

The Queen's face darkened. She said that Zhao Huaijin spoke in a low voice. Wasn't that a mockery of her being deaf?

Oh, this bitch!

"I was distracted and didn't notice it just now. Biyu, please wait for His Royal Highness Prince Huai and the Princess to sit down."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhao Huaijin didn't care. The Queen and Concubine Shun had been fighting for more than 20 years, and this kind of scene was commonplace to them.

Song Qingwan blinked and gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up in her heart. She really was worthy of being the daughter of the Yan family and could not bear any bullying at all.

"I think the Princess Huai is really beautiful, even more beautiful than Jun'er's wife."

"Thank you mother for the compliment."

"If we want to compare, Princess Yu can only compare with Princess Huai in terms of knowledge."

Song Qingwan curled her lips. What is this queen pretending to be? It's not like she hasn't seen her before. Why is she scolding her for only using her beauty to please others?

Just because Song Qingwan had never learned the ancient arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, didn't mean she was a fool. The books she had read were enough to kill the queen.

Just as Song Qingwan was about to retort, Concubine Shun spoke first.

"What the Queen said is a bit biased. Although our Wan'er is beautiful and knowledgeable, you can't say in public that Princess Yu can't compare. If Princess Yu knew this, she would be sad."

The concubines below all laughed secretly. In recent years, Concubine Shun would avoid the Queen's sarcasm and harshness, but today she refused to give in for the sake of Princess Huai. This was really the first time.

The Queen didn't gain any advantage and her face looked unhappy. She just wanted to give Song Qingwan a warning today, but she didn't expect to be disrupted by Concubine Shun.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

As the eunuch's shout broke the strange atmosphere in the hall, the emperor strode in.

"It's so lively, I can hear it from far away, but Jin'er is here?"

Everyone knelt down and saluted. The emperor looked around and finally his eyes fell on Wan Guiren, who smiled shyly and lowered her head.

Song Qingwan secretly looked up and noticed all this. She was just wondering how Sister Lin could come. It turned out that the old emperor finally noticed her.

"Everyone, get up. The two princes have married one after another recently. I am very pleased. Hahahaha."

Everyone could see that the emperor was in a good mood, which made the atmosphere around him relaxed. After all, the two high-ranking ladies were confronting each other, and no one dared to say much.

"Jin'er will be an adult after you get married. You should learn more about government affairs from your brother and help him share some of the responsibilities."

"Yes, Father. I understand."

"I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to ask, how is the master's health?"

Song Qingwan heard the emperor's question and stepped forward to answer.

"Replying to Father, Grandpa is in good health. Now that Mother is by his side to show filial piety, he can eat an extra bowl of rice every day."

"Hahaha, that's good. Qingwan, Jin'er's temperament is not as calm as yours. You should encourage him to make progress and stop acting like a child all day long."

"Yes, Father."

The emperor asked Zhao Huaijin some other questions, and Zhao Huaijin's answers made the emperor very satisfied.

At the end of the show, the emperor specially reminded Concubine Wan that he would invite her to sleep with him tonight and asked her to be prepared.

"Yes, I obey your command."

After everyone had left, Song Qingwan asked Zhao Huaijin to wait for her outside while she went to the Yilan Palace of Concubine Wan.

"Sister Lin, tell me quickly, is it that the emperor favors you?"

"Well, Wan'er, the incense you gave me is really effective. The emperor can't stop using it."

Song Qingwan looked at Wan Guiren, whose face was a little red but with a smile in her eyes, and was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

She believed that with the wisdom and beauty of the late noble lady, plus her help, she would be able to win the emperor's heart.

"Remember to take the medicine I gave you after your period. Don't take too much. Don't take it unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Wan'er, since I have decided to compete for your favor, I must try every possible means to get pregnant as soon as possible, so I will definitely take this medicine."

Song Qingwan sighed and thought, never mind, once you enter the palace it’s like entering a deep sea, Sister Lin has no choice, the worst that can happen is that she will just have to worry a little more.

The medicine Song Qingwan took was actually an ovulation-inducing drug, which could help with pregnancy, but it could easily lead to multiple pregnancies, which could damage the mother's body.

"Then if you feel any discomfort after eating, you must tell me immediately, understand?"

"it is good."

Song Qingwan left some perfume for Concubine Wan and gave her some instructions before leaving.

"Wan'er, seeing you and Prince Huai so affectionate, I'm really happy for you."

"Sister Lin, take care of yourself. Good days are coming soon."

Just as the two were standing at the door of Yilan Palace to say goodbye, a weird female voice sounded.

"Who else did I think it was? Isn't this the Princess Huai who rose to fame and became a phoenix?"

Song Qingwan turned around and saw Xiang Guiren Li Caiwei walking towards her with a twisted waist, holding a wooden sword in her hand.

"I have flown to the treetops and become a phoenix, unlike some people who are like plucked pheasants, neither fish nor fowl."

"You... Hehe, Song Qingwan, no matter how powerful you are, you are just a princess. When I give birth to a dragon son, I will be the mother of the prince. Then I will slowly deal with you!"

"May I ask the future prince's mother, how did I offend you? Why do you hate me so much?"

"Why are you pretending to be confused? You killed my brother Li Jinjiang, do you want to deny it?"

Song Qingwan nodded in understanding. It turned out to be because of that scumbag. They were indeed siblings, two different kinds of people who could not come out of the same belly.

Song Qingwan originally thought that Li Jinjiang was an isolated case, but she didn't expect that the scumbag was from the Lun family.

"Tsk tsk, a fool like you was actually named a noble. The emperor must be so hungry that he doesn't care what he eats. Is he that hungry?"

"Song Qingwan, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Someone only taught you to imitate others, but didn't tell you what the emperor's taboo is?"

"What's the taboo?"

"It's so sad that Xiang Guiren knew nothing about this. The person behind you is really vicious."

Seeing the suspicion emerging on Xiang Guiren's face, Song Qingwan knew that her words had worked.

Haha, it's not a big deal if there are two snakes and rats in the same nest. It just depends on which one is smarter, the snake or the rat. Those who cooperate simply for the sake of benefits will eventually turn against each other because of benefits.
