My Lady is well

She raised her eyes to look at Qionghua and smiled like a crescent moon.

His face looked a little broken due to his paleness, but his eyes were extremely determined.

"People of low status naturally dare not compare themselves with the princess. I hope the princess can marry a good family in the future and not have to bow to her husband in everything."

Qionghua looked at her with disdain, his eyes moving around her face, full of contempt.

"How dare you, who do you think you are, interfere with my marriage."

She nodded slightly, the smile on her lips not fading.

"I dare not. It is only a wish for the princess."

Qionghua glared at her arrogantly, and it felt like punching cotton.

He snorted coldly, ignored her and walked past her.

Shen Yueyao slowly stopped smiling and lowered her eyes.

Jin'er saw her walking away and wrinkled her nose at her back.

"She's not even a princess, but she doesn't look like a royal princess at all. In my opinion, she's no different from an ordinary concubine's daughter."

A princess without a mother naturally received a lot of cold stares in the palace.

Some people are just like that by nature, when they have experienced misfortune themselves, they want everyone to experience it too.

She didn't dare to offend those who had supporters, so she could only bully those who were worse off than her to achieve inner balance.

Serve different dishes to different people.

Unfortunately, she didn't have very good eyesight.

Picked a tough bone.

Shen Yueyao raised her lips and smiled, her eyes were cold and unfathomable. Jin'er looked at her and felt a chill in her heart.

He whispered with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

She fixed her eyes on the brocade box in Jin'er's hand and gave the order in a cold voice.

"Send the message out and find out something."

"Yes."

……

The stars are twinkling and the night breeze is cool.

Shen Yueyao, with her hair loose, half leaned on the beauty chair, looking at the stars in the night sky, feeling a little dazed.

A sense of powerlessness emerged in my heart, and I couldn't escape my fate. In the end, I still had to fight against the tiger.

She originally wanted to tell Jing Ruzhang everything about the threats made by Jing Lince in the Imperial Garden that day.

After witnessing Jing Lince's perverted methods today, I gave up this idea.

If she is not careful, she really doesn’t know what Jing Lince will give her.

Seeing that she looked a little dazed, Jin'er poured her a cup of tea and asked softly.

"Master, what happened to you? You looked strange when you came out of Lanyue Palace. What happened?"

Shen Yueyao slowly turned around and lazily took the teacup from her hand.

I looked up and saw her pair of bright dark eyes, filled with concern.

Such a pair of vivid eyes, if...

She suddenly didn't dare to think further, she turned her head away and lowered her eyelids.

When the time comes, you have to rely on yourself.

"Nothing, has the letter been sent?"

Jin'er nodded solemnly.

"Yes, I have sent the letter as you ordered. There will be news from Bai Wang in the next two days."

She nodded thoughtfully.

Qiu Ju came in quickly and bowed: "Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming this way."

Shen Yueyao hummed and said calmly, "I understand."

Jin'er helped her stand up and tidied her hair and clothes in an orderly manner.

She took two steps towards the door, then waited quietly with her head down. Somehow, she became distracted again.

Jin'er gently pulled her sleeve, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that handsome and elegant face.

Perhaps it was the warm light in the house that shone a hint of warmth in those cold eyes, like a pool of fine wine in early spring.

Shen Yueyao's eyes were slightly red, and her long eyelashes drooped, hiding a hint of drunkenness.

She bowed slightly: "I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"stand up."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Shen Yueyao felt that he seemed to be in a good mood today, and even his voice was clear and pleasant.

Jing Ruzhang sat on a rosewood chair beside him. He picked up the tea that Dongxue had just poured and blew away the tea foam gently.

He casually lifted his eyelids, and his deep eyes fixed on her face.

"Have you met the Queen Mother?"

"Well, I got a reward."

"It seems she likes you very much."

Shen Yueyao smiled faintly, took two steps forward, and listened to him again.

"Besides meeting the Queen Mother, have you ever been to any other palace?"

Shen Yueyao's eyes froze, wondering if he was testing her intentionally or just asking casually?

She weighed the pros and cons in her mind before speaking.

"I also went to Concubine Jing's Lanyue Palace and stayed there for a while."

Jing Ruzhang slowly put down the teacup and glanced at her with a slightly scrutinizing look.

"Oh? Concubine Jing, I remember you two had no friendship. What did she ask you to do?"

"Empress Jing invited me to drink some tea and chat about novels for a while."

Jing Ruzhang's expression gradually turned cold, and the joy in his voice also disappeared, leaving only coldness.

"It seems that Concubine Jing likes you very much, too."

The change in his tone made Shen Yueyao feel a little alert.

Looking at him, it seems like he is unaware of Concubine Jing.

Would he also know that Jing Lince met me today?

"I can't say I liked her that much, we just chatted for a while."

Shen Yueyao didn't hear him speak and looked up at him.

At this moment, his eyes turned cold, and he returned to being the cold and resolute Crown Prince. The hint of warmth in his eyes seemed like a momentary illusion.

"You are tired today, take a rest."

He stood up and walked to the door and stopped, as if waiting for something. When he didn't get what he wanted, he left without looking back.

Shen Yueyao's heart tightened, and for a moment she wondered if he knew something.

She couldn't take any chances, no matter what.

……

The palace lanterns illuminate the waterside pavilion of the East Palace.

The wind lifted the gauze curtain, which swayed slightly.

Luo Zhong's face looked as if he had eaten bitter melon. He glanced at the Crown Prince who was playing chess alone, and hesitated to speak, letting out a long sigh in his heart.

Offspring! Offspring!

The Queen Mother scolds the servants all day long. If being scolded by the Queen Mother every day can help Your Highness have another child, it would be fine, but Your Highness doesn't look anxious at all.

Hey, who are you trying to make anxious?

Jiang Ye, dressed in black armor, strode in and bowed to Jing Ruzhang.

"Your Highness."

Jing Ruzhan fixed his eyes on the chessboard and spoke lightly to the servants serving in the pavilion.

"Let's all go back."

Luo Zhong bowed and walked out, rolling his eyes at Jiang Ye as if he was resentful. Jiang Ye frowned blankly.

The white piece in Jing Ruzhang's hand was still not dropped. His brows flashed slightly, and he threw the white piece back into the crystal jar.

"Go ahead."

Jiang Ye lowered his hands and said, "The Sixth Prince did enter the palace today and went to Lanyue Palace. Someone saw..."

He paused and continued, "I saw Concubine Shen coming out of Lanyue Palace with a bad look on her face. She also met Princess Qionghua on the way."

Jing Ruzhang's eyes were dark, as if a storm was brewing. He said nothing and pursed his thin lips.

He raised his eyes and ordered in a cold voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on Liu Fengxuan's every move, and then send someone to Jiangzhou to check on the Shen family."

"Your Highness, you are doubting..."

"You've been talking a lot lately."

Jiang Ye lowered his head and immediately pleaded guilty.

"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."

"How's the situation in Yuzhou?"

"Yuzhou's military movements are frequent, and Liu Zhong has been in close correspondence with Zhao Jin, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Xu Hu, the left censor-in-chief."

"Zhao Jin is not to be feared. Let Wu Chengyu keep an eye on him. As for Xu Hu..."

There was a murderous look in his eyes, and he said indifferently.

"Xu Hu has been the Left Censor-in-Chief for many years. If he takes one more step forward, he will be in the abyss. If he insists on going forward, let Li Yong send him off. I will meet him in person tomorrow."

The Sixth Prince holds the military power of the Yuzhou Jiedushi. As long as there is no chaos in the capital, General Li will take care of it.

Jiang Ye secretly admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as he had noticed the Sixth Prince's thoughts three years ago.

He began to plan and lay out his plans, keeping a firm grip on the movements of important positions in the court and every move of the Sixth Prince under his control.

After a while, Jiang Ye said again: "Concubine Yang..."

Jing Ruzhang's brows darkened.

"No problem, let her do whatever she wants, just keep an eye on Liu Fengxuan."

"Yes."

When Jiang Ye left the pavilion, he deliberately stopped beside Luo Zhong.

Luo Zhong snorted at him with a haughty look on his face.

Jiang Ye was confused. He took two steps and then stepped back, and couldn't help asking.

"Eunuch Luo, has Jiang offended you in any way?"

Luo Zhong glanced at him, saw his innocent look, sighed helplessly, and gave a reminder.

"Guard Jiang, you follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all day long. Don't act like a fool and only know how to do your job. Can you persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to pay more attention to his offspring?"

Jiang Ye was stunned: "This is the Crown Prince's private matter, how can we interfere?"

Luo Zhong rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.

"You are a fool, a bachelor, and it's useless to say anything."

"..."

Jiang Ye's cheeks turned red, and he wanted to argue with him for a few more words, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time, so he could only shake his head in dismay and leave.

He raised his eyes to look at the misty buildings in the distance, and couldn't help but slow down his pace and lower his eyelids to hide the sadness in his eyes.
