Luo Nianxi was a little skeptical about what she said.

After all, there wasn't much about her that people could trust.

Last time, she said that her sister was imprisoned by Leng Yifei, but she was made a concubine by Leng Yifei.

This time, she said that Leng Yifei wanted to rebel, but Leng Yifei did not move.

She always felt that this Lady Mei might be lacking a sense of security and always wanted to find something to do.

"Madam Mei, I advise you that if the emperor doesn't investigate what you did to him before, you should just hide in your room and be happy secretly, and be a good imperial concubine. Isn't that great!"

Hearing her say this, Concubine Mei suddenly choked up.

She raised the handkerchief in her hand, wiped her eyes, and shook her head.

"I am different from you. The prince has only one principal wife, and you two have a good relationship. He regards you as a treasure. But if I don't sleep with him for three days, people will gossip about me. If I don't sleep with him for seven days, people will point fingers at me and ridicule me. If I don't sleep with him for half a month, even the servants in the palace will look down on me..."

Even if what Concubine Mei said made sense, she didn't feel sorry for her. In other words, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person!

"No matter what you think, I can't take you to see the emperor. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Leaving these words behind, she strode forward. Looking at her back, Mei Fei raised her finger and pointed at her angrily, muttering softly,

"They are all people who use me like a donkey and then turn their backs on me. After they use me, no one cares about me anymore."

Xiaodie was beside her and whispered:

"My lady, let's go back!"

She turned around and looked at Xiaodie, pouting in grievance.

"Xiao Die, do you think the emperor doesn't like me anymore? Why doesn't he want to see me?"

"My lady, I think it's a good thing that the emperor doesn't want to see you. Think about what you did to the emperor before. Even if the emperor was confused at that time, he should be able to sense it now. He didn't see you, but he didn't blame you. This shows that he still has you in his heart. You should go back to the Plum Blossom Pavilion and stay there. One day, the emperor will invite you over."

Mei Fei raised her eyes and looked at her.

"Are you serious? Will the Emperor really let me sleep with him someday?"

Xiaodie was just comforting her, and seeing that she believed it so much, she could only nod.

"How could I lie to you? Let's go back now!"

In this harem, the only one who can be sincere to Concubine Mei is probably the maid Xiaodie!

"What about Jing'er? Leng Yifei refuses to come to see me, how can I see Jing'er? I want to go to Prince Duan's Mansion, but the emperor won't see me, and I can't get the token to leave the palace. What should I do?"

"Your Highness, please don't worry. Prince Duan has not caused any trouble, which means he is still serving as the prince peacefully. Miss Jing'er is still Consort Duan, and she will be fine."

"But I haven't seen her for a year. Last time at Concubine Ying's birthday party, I wanted to go over and ask about her recent situation. She is my only sister..."

"My lady, I have already asked someone to check it out. I think it's time for a reply. Let's go back now!"

Hearing this, Mei Fei nodded eagerly, muttering,

"Okay, there's news about Jing'er, go back quickly, go back quickly."

Her steps were hurried and her expression was nervous.

Prince Duan's Mansion

On the day Leng Yiyan was named the crown prince, Leng Yifei canceled the rebellion he had prepared in advance, which made many of his brothers who had followed him for many years quite dissatisfied. Among these people, Sun Quan was the most angry.

But he didn't give anyone a reason or explain to anyone, which made these brothers very disappointed.

He sat in the main hall of Prince Duan's mansion, feeling indescribable.

Steward Deng walked slowly here and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, the food you asked me to prepare is ready."

Hearing this, he showed an expectant look in his eyes, and then stood up.

"Okay, let's go to the Prince's Mansion."

"Your Highness, this is neither a festival nor an important day. We have never had any exchanges with the Crown Prince's Mansion. Is it appropriate for you to send these things over?"

"What's inappropriate?"

After saying this, he rolled his eyes at Butler Deng. Butler Deng tightened his eyes and dared not say a word.

When he arrived at the East Palace Prince's Mansion with the gifts, Leng Yiyan and Luo Nianxi were not there. After Chuntao welcomed him into the main hall, she looked at the two large bags on the ground and asked curiously:

"Prince Duan, what are you doing?"

He frowned and asked calmly:

"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are not here?"

"No, they are very busy recently."

"What about... the children?"

"They are all taking classes in the backyard."

"Can I go take a look?"

Ever since Jinyu left Prince Duan's Mansion, he has been in a state of disarray, even sadder than when Mo Xiaowan had just left.

His daughter was so cute and smart, but she couldn't always be with him. He felt that he was the most pitiful man in the world.

Chuntao thought for a while and nodded.

After all, he is a prince, and it is not excessive to make such a small request.

Besides, this is in the Prince's Mansion, what else can he do?

"Prince Duan, please come this way."

Seeing Chuntao gesturing in front, Leng Yifei hurriedly took out a bag of pastries from the food box, and then quickly followed his footsteps.

Ever since they moved into the Prince's Mansion, Leng Yiyan specially invited Yang Daxueshi, the most virtuous scholar in the court, to teach the three children.

These three children were smart and obedient, which made Academician Yang have high hopes for them. Therefore, he was particularly strict in disciplining them in class.

Leng Yifei stood at the entrance of the academy, looked at Jinyu who was sitting there with her back straight, and suddenly smiled.

Her back looks so much like Mo Xiaowan.

Looking at her shaking her head while reciting, he seemed to see what Mo Xiaowan looked like when she was her age.

Thinking about the past, his eyes suddenly became moist.

At this time, Yang Daxueshi clapped his bamboo board and reminded:

"Children, this class is over. Please copy down the text you learned today. I will check it tomorrow morning."

The three children stood up together and bowed to Yang Daxueshi.

"Understood. Take care, Mr. Yang."

Only then did Grand Secretary Yang nod to the three of them, put one hand behind his back, and walked away.

When he arrived at the door, he saw Leng Yifei and stepped forward to salute him.

"Prince Duan..."

Leng Yifei didn't have much of a good impression of this Grand Secretary Yang before. His ancestors had been officials for generations, and he could be considered a veteran of two dynasties. He was also a relatively upright person. When he was an official in the court, he never associated with anyone, and he always liked to point out things he didn't like to people's faces.

Ever since the Emperor took Concubine Mei as his concubine, he has been claiming to be sick and staying at home since he stopped attending the morning court.

It was not easy for Leng Yiyan to invite him out this time. Leng Yifei couldn't help but think in his heart that the only person in the court who could invite him was Leng Yiyan.

However, thinking that this Grand Scholar Yang was also teaching his daughter, he actually developed some favorable impression towards this Grand Scholar Yang.
