Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

In the Princess's Mansion, the servants were doing things quietly, but there was a hint of excitement on their faces.

In the flower hall, the eldest princess was half lying on the couch. She looked pale, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.

The prince sat opposite her, looking attentive, "Aunt, my father asked me to send a lot of supplements, please take good care of them. During the New Year, my father wants to have a drink with you."

"Yes, yes, yes." The eldest princess smiled, "Is your father in good health? Is he sleeping well? Is he eating well?"

The prince sighed softly, "Alas, ever since my sister passed away, my father has not been able to eat or sleep well, and has been sighing a lot, and has lost weight."

"Speaking of which, this matter is all the fault of Princess Jingning. She held a marriage-seeking meeting for no reason, but attracted such a vicious person, causing the emperor's sister to lose her life at such a young age."

He said bitterly, "She got all the benefits and took advantage of everything, but she hurt the imperial sister."

When talking about his sister's tragic death, he didn't seem very sad, only dissatisfied with Ning Zhiwei.

She refused to give him the money! She didn't even care about him as the crown prince!

The eldest princess saw it and sighed silently. The imperial family had little family affection. There was no such thing as blood ties. There was only interests and power.

However, the prince's coldness is not a good thing for others.

Lin Jingshu, who was standing behind him, said sourly, "Isn't it? She earns a lot of money and can't spend it all in her lifetime."

A cold voice sounded, "The national treasury has received more than one million taels of silver, and Miss Lin has also earned more than 100,000 taels of silver. It is indeed impossible to spend it all in this lifetime."

It was Rong Jing. He was sitting opposite with a very indifferent expression.

Lin Jingshu's expression froze.

However, Xiao Linfeng on the side did not interrupt from beginning to end and just watched coldly.

At this moment, the servant reported, "Jingning County Lady has arrived."

Ning Zhiwei was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat, which made her eyebrows and eyes look like a painting. She bowed and said, "I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess. I wish Her Royal Highness peace, health, and a long life."

She took out a brocade box and said, "This is a white jade Guanyin statue. I hope it can protect you from danger."

This jade Guanyin Buddha is lustrous and has a dignified and compassionate expression. It is a rare treasure.

The princess felt warm in her heart, "You are so thoughtful."

Ning Zhiwei then looked to the other side and said, "Meet the Crown Prince."

There is no harm without comparison. Although the postures of saluting were equally elegant and perfect, the eldest princess was spoken with nice words and a jade Buddha of Guanyin was given as a gift, while the prince was only addressed with four dry words.

The prince is a noble man, how could he have been treated so coldly? "Why don't you have any gifts for me? Do you think I am not worthy of your attention?"

This is nitpicking. Ning Zhiwei spread her hands and said, "How do I know the prince is here? It's etiquette to prepare gifts for the host, isn't it?"

The prince choked.

Lin Jingshu's eyes flashed and she jumped out, "If you want to please the princess, just say it directly. Why are you being so hypocritical?"

"I respect her." Ning Zhiwei didn't expect that she was there too, and her hair was tied up. "Lin Jingshu, are you married?"

Lin Jingshu's eyes were full of pride, and she held her head high, "I entered the prince's mansion and became the prince's person."

Ning Zhiwei was a little surprised. There was chaos that day and Lin Jingshu took advantage of the chaos to escape. Unexpectedly, she hooked up with the prince.

"So it's the Crown Prince's Concubine, congratulations."

One seeks power and the other seeks wealth. They have similar tastes and are a good match, but their paths are different from those in their previous life.

Lin Jingshu's face turned green, she felt ashamed and angry, and she hated Ning Zhiwei even more. "Not yet."

Ning Zhiwei was too surprised. "I paid hundreds of thousands of silver, but I couldn't even get a concubine title? It's a loss. I have to work harder in the future."

She has a really vicious tongue. She turned the so-called beauty-her-hero story into a story of exchanging money for a future.

Although it is true, it is too harsh to hear.

The prince looked at her coldly, but Ning Zhiwei was not afraid at all.

Lin Jingshu sometimes wondered who the time traveler was. She lived a cautious life, studying music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and worked hard to build a reputation, just to pave the way for herself.

However, Ning Zhiwei lived recklessly and even dared to confront the emperor and the prince.

She deliberately said, "After the New Year, I will open a restaurant opposite the Phoenix Building. Please take care of me then."

This is to compete with Ning Zhiwei. With the support of the prince, he will surely be able to poach a large number of customers.

She was full of confidence, and was planning on helping the prince make money and gaining a place in the prince's mansion.

When the prince takes the throne, she will be the master queen, and if she uses some tricks, she may become the queen.

Ning Zhiwei saw through their plan at a glance, her eyes rolling, "A concubine of the Crown Prince can still do business in public? That's really ungentlemanly. In fact, you only need to pay 660,000 to buy the Phoenix Tower."

"really?"

"Really? Pearl is real." Ning Zhiwei smiled sincerely. Anyway, she was planning to run away, so it would be nice to find someone to take over in advance.

When the situation became chaotic, she ran away and the Phoenix Tower was naturally closed down.

Lin Jingshu couldn't figure out her thoughts, so she deliberately asked, "One hundred thousand."

"Eight hundred thousand."

Lin Jingshu was speechless, "How can you bargain like that?" She couldn't figure out the other party's thoughts.

The prince had been eyeing the Phoenix Tower for a long time. How could he miss such a good opportunity? To win the throne, he needed a large sum of money and a platform like this. "Let's take a step back and take a middle number, 300,000, how about that?"

"impossible."

Rong Jing looked at her deeply.

He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."

Xiao Linfeng raised his hand and said, "Bring the person up."

A woman with clothes that were white from washing was brought over, looking timid.

Xiao Linfeng introduced, "This is the granddaughter of the midwife who gave birth to the eldest princess. Li, tell us about what happened back then."

Li was very nervous and spoke stutteringly. When she had just gotten married and moved to Jiangnan, she suddenly received a letter saying that this was her life-saving talisman in case anything happened to her family.

She went to inquire in panic, and heard that the house caught fire in the middle of the night and the whole family was burned to death, even the newborn baby was not spared.

She has been in a state of panic all these years. Her grandmother was there to deliver the eldest princess' baby. After taking this job, she could retire and enjoy her old age. How could something like this suddenly happen?

No matter how stupid she was, she knew that something went wrong in the Princess's Mansion.

"This is the secret letter enclosed in the letter. I have never opened it."

Xiao Linfeng opened the envelope and a peace locket rolled out.

"Give it to me." The eldest princess's face changed.

The princess picked up the peace locket and examined it, her eyes gradually turning red. "This is what I gave to the midwife surnamed Li. She said she had just had a grandson and wanted to share in the joy of the princess's mansion."

This also proves the identity of the midwife.

The letter said that after she entered the princess's mansion, she accidentally saw another midwife sneaking out in the middle of the night. She followed her out and overheard a few words. A man instructed that preparations should be made to change the baby when the princess gave birth.

She recognized the man as the prince consort's personal attendant.

Ever since she overheard the secret, she had a bad feeling and sent the letter just in case.

Xiao Linfeng finally added, "The four midwives back then all died due to various accidents."

Then he raised his voice and ordered, "Bring Ji up here."

A beautiful woman with a charming demeanor was dragged over. "Let me go, let me go. How dare you be so rude to me?"

Ning Zhiwei asked curiously, "Who is this?"

Xiao Linfeng looked strange, "Prince Li's concubine is also Su Mingjin's biological mother."

Whoa, exciting.
