My Lady is well

Shen Yueyao saw two women walking side by side in front of her, their waists swaying and their skirts fluttering.

She slowed down her pace and followed behind, not too far away but not too close, just enough to hear their conversation.

"Did you hear that the prince even went into Liu Fengxuan yesterday? Hehe..."

"This sister is so pitiful."

"Why pity her? Who the hell is she? How can a lowly thing from the market be equal to us?"

"..."

Shen Yueyao entered Changning Palace just after them. Only then did she realize that the people who had just spoken were Concubine Yang and Concubine Li.

One is charming, the other is elegant, each with her own style.

Yang Li and Li Biyun, one is the second daughter of the Minister of Justice, and the other is the youngest daughter of a reader in the Hanlin Academy.

None of Jing Ruzhang's women were married at will.

Although Li Biyun was the daughter of a fifth-rank imperial scholar, there were no poor families above the fourth rank in the dynasty, and the fifth rank was already the pinnacle for poor family students.

Li Biyun's father, Li Tangchun, is a role model for the poor in the world.

For Jing Ruzhang, he was determined to win.

Jing Ruzhang had his own considerations, including the marriage with the Shen family.

He originally wanted to marry An Baizhi, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, but unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince Jing Lince got there first and made him the Sixth Prince's Consort.

The purse is gone.

At this time Shen Yongba came over, and he readily agreed to marry Shen Yun.

As for the original owner, Shen Yueyao, she was simply not very smart.

Instead of being a rich woman, she insists on diving into a group of women.

Shen Yueyao bowed to them and called out, "Sister."

After all, Concubine Li came from a scholarly family and was very polite.

He also bowed and responded.

"Sister Shen."

Concubine Yang stroked her hair, snorted coldly, and pretended not to hear.

In the gilded incense burner facing the red phoenix and the sun, the black agarwood evaporated into a light white mist, which slowly rose and dissipated.

Only then did Shen Yueyao hear the sound of tinkling bead curtains.

Two palace maids helped a sickly beauty out and sat her down on a chair with a gilded carved screen.

She had a dignified demeanor and a look of dignity. She was a few years older than Shen Yueyao. Even with makeup on, she couldn't hide her gloomy look.

Shen Yueyao bowed deeply with them.

"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."

"Get up and sit down."

Shen Yueyao took the tea from Jin'er's hand, held it in front of the Crown Princess, and bowed respectfully.

The Crown Princess raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth and coughed twice. After taking a few breaths, she took the teacup.

He looked up at her with a dim look in his eyes for a moment, and then took a sip.

She handed it to the maid beside her, held the handkerchief and raised her hand gently.

"You can sit down too."

"Thank you, Princess."

She looked at Shen Yueyao calmly for a few times. She was used to the Crown Prince taking concubines and it was not a novelty to her.

But when I heard that Shen Yueyao was brought back by the prince himself, I became a little more cautious.

Today, Nanny Cui came back and said that the prince did not stay in Liufengxuan last night, and she couldn't help but look at her with a hint of sympathy.

There is a friendly smile on the lips.

"Since Miss Shen has entered the East Palace, we will be our sisters from now on."

Shen Yueyao smiled and nodded. Apart from the fact that she loved to send contraceptive soup to Jing Ruzhang's concubines, Song Yuanyi was a pretty nice person.

There are many rewards for those who drink it voluntarily.

As for those who are ignorant of the current situation, Nanny Cui is an old and capable person and will not cause her any worries.

Seeing that she looked pale and haggard, Song Yuanyi spoke to comfort her.

"The emperor is seriously ill right now, and the crown prince is busy with government affairs, so he can't take care of you for the time being. You should be more considerate of the crown prince."

Shen Yueyao lowered her eyebrows and looked submissive, with a hint of grievance in her voice.

"I understand."

Concubine Yang looked at her openly and mocked her half-jokingly.

"Oh, Sister Shen is such a beauty. Look at how pale her face is. The Crown Prince is really so. He doesn't know how to be gentle with women at all. I'll say a few words for him later."

It is not difficult to judge from her words that she is now the most favored person around Jing Ruzhang.

If Shen Yueyao has done many evil things, then Yang Li might as well let her off more.

The two of them worked together and caused a lot of trouble.

Every time Wen Xueshu was framed, it was Yang Li's doing.

Shen Yueyao smiled faintly. Although she and Yang Li had different feelings, they both felt that they were both wanderers in this world.

The Crown Princess turned a deaf ear to Yang Li's words, apparently not surprised.

Yang Li's father is the Minister of Justice, and Jing Ruzhang now has to rely on her father to keep the Ministry of Justice under control.

For Yang Li, as long as she doesn't go too far.

The Crown Princess would choose to turn a blind eye, she turned to the palace maid beside her and said.

"Go and fetch the pair of blue and white jade vases that the Empress gave last year. Sister Shen is new here, so this is a small gift from me."

The palace maid presented two transparent porcelain bottles to Shen Yueyao. Shen Yueyao asked Jin'er to take them and she stepped forward to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Princess."

Song Yuanyi didn't care how many concubines the prince had. As long as it didn't threaten the status of the eldest son Cheng'an, she could handle anything properly.

The reason why she sent contraceptive soup to the newly married concubine was because Cheng'an was only two years old.

She did her best to buy time for him, hoping that he would grow up a little more.

Yang Li curled the corner of his lips in disdain and glanced at Shen Yueyao with contempt.

She raised her pale hands to tidy up her hair and started a conversation.

"When did the birth of the concubine of the Eastern Palace become so low? He really brought anyone back. I really don't know what His Highness is thinking. It will be a lively time in the future."

Yang Li looked down on Shen Yueyao from the bottom of her heart because she came from a family of merchants. She really didn't know how they became collusion with each other later.

The emperor is seriously ill and this is a critical time for the crown prince, and he cannot allow any fire to break out in the backyard.

The Crown Princess coughed twice and her face turned cold.

"Concubine Yang, watch your words and actions."

Yang Li frowned and retorted.

"What? Did I say something wrong? And that Li is as cold as a god all day long. She doesn't care about anything else except swordplay. I heard that there was a maid in her room who jumped into a well for some reason a few days ago. She didn't even come to tell the Crown Princess. Does she still have respect for the inferior? Now this..."

She picked up the handkerchief and put it to her lips, chuckling softly, her sarcasm fully revealed.

"Sister Shen, you are just a business woman. How did you get His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to agree to take you into the Eastern Palace? Tell us so that we can also learn how to win His Royal Highness's favor."

Shen Yueyao and Yang Li are both concubines, but their statuses are very different.

Facing Yang Li's ridicule at this time, Shen Yueyao remained calm and just spoke in a calm voice.

"I am a merchant, but it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came to ask for my hand in marriage. I dare not speculate on His Royal Highness's intentions."

Song Yuanyi heard her answer, which was neither humble nor arrogant, and she knew when to advance and retreat, and there was some admiration in her eyes.

She knew clearly that Jing Ruzhang would not bring Shen Yueyao back casually, and the Shen family must be useful to him.

She would never let Yang Li ruin his plan.

The Crown Princess suppressed her friendly temper, a sense of oppression gathered in her eyes, and she looked at Concubine Yang coldly.

"Alright, Prince, this is a critical moment. I won't allow you to stir up trouble. All of you should restrain yourself. If I know that someone dares to cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude. Remember this."

Shen Yueyao bowed along with the other two in response.

"Follow the instructions of the Crown Princess."

Concubine Yang's eyes were filled with resentment, and she glanced at Shen Yueyao lightly.

Shen Yueyao was a concubine, or in layman's terms, a concubine.

She has a high level of awareness.

Even if the Crown Princess asked her to kneel, she would never lie prone.

After all, apart from Jing Ruzhang, she is the most powerful person in the Eastern Palace.

Shen Yueyao was generous in giving away anything that the Crown Princess liked.

After all, who doesn’t want to have a rich and low-key friend around them?

Shen Yueyao always reminds herself to be a good person and resolutely avoid the fate of being tortured to death.

She would cry for a long time if her hand was cut by a knife, let alone being cut into pieces!
