"Help me! Otherwise I will die!" Jiang Xingkuo pounced on Huanyan the first time he saw her.

Huanyan held her head in disgust. "How did you die?"

"I'm so angry!" Jiang Xingkuo raised his head, his eyes full of tears.

"Hey, who can make you angry?" Huanyan sat down, gloating over other people's misfortune.

"Ayan." Her voice suddenly became serious.

"Ok?"

"Xiao'e is dead."

"Hmm?" Huanyan lowered her crossed legs. "The one that looks cold and icy, but is actually stupid?"

"is her."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Huanyan glanced at Songyan, who immediately understood and left the room with Tengxi and other servants.

Songyan looked at Tengxi and suddenly asked in surprise, "Tengxi, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you seem to be different? I saw you near Qixiang Palace on the way to Huining Palace just now. Why didn't you respond when I gestured to you? What were you doing there?"

Teng Xi was stunned for a long time before he said, "I learned that the princess would be entering the palace today, so I went to greet her. It just so happened that I ran into the queen and the princess together, so I didn't dare to respond to you."

"Oh, it's so remote over there, and it's not the Second Prince who lives there... Oh, no, it's the Prince of Jingnan. I thought you were the princess! Hahahaha... You even forgot our past friendship..."

Songyan joked.

"Songyan... don't talk nonsense..." Tengxi covered her mouth embarrassedly. "I was just passing by..."

"Okay, okay. I know you're shy, so I won't tease you anymore." Song Yan smiled and pulled her hand away.

Tengxi put down his hand with a strange look on his face, and after a moment of silence, he asked again: "Songyan, have the princess and her husband reconciled?"

"Why are you asking this? It turns out that the prince consort didn't come. He just said that he was busy with government affairs and sent some things over from time to time." Songyan didn't take it to heart and replied directly.

"I'm just asking casually. I think the princess is bored in the mansion since the young lady is not here." Tengxi touched his nose.

Songyan stared at her without saying a word, which made her feel uneasy.

"What are you looking at?" Tengxi looked away guiltily.

"Tell me the truth." Songyan grabbed her hand.

"What do you want me to say?" Tengxi's heart skipped a beat.

"Are you in love with some young master? Otherwise, why are you acting so weird?"

Teng Xi breathed a sigh of relief and pushed her hand away again, "What nonsense are you talking about! You know me, I have never thought about getting married!"

Seeing Song Yan's half-believing and half-doubting expression, she quickly changed the subject and said:

"Why, you don't have any plans for entering the palace this time? When are you going to meet your lover?"

"What are you talking about!" Song Yan was indeed shy. "He is following His Majesty now, so he is naturally busier than before. Whether I can see him or not is another matter. Alas..."

Seeing that she suddenly became melancholy again, Tengxi felt relieved.

These master and servant are indeed the same.

The weather is getting colder, and snowflakes arrive as expected at this time of year, announcing the arrival of winter.

"So they want to hold Xiang Wan's first birthday party themselves?" An Zhaoyan smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Yes. I have already sent someone to arrange it. I have also invited Concubine De to have a dinner together, and then I will hold a one-year-old ceremony for Xiang Wan..."

An Zhaoyan felt that Wu Ye's voice was a little strange. He raised his head and saw a flash of hope in Wu Ye's eyes, and he understood.

"Forget it. It's Xiao Xiangwan's first birthday party, I want to go and share in the joy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Ye lowered his head to hide the joy in his eyes.

"Wait, isn't Yue'er under house arrest?" An Zhaoyan suddenly remembered.

"...The princess said...you would agree to release her early..."

"It's really unruly!" An Zhaoyan smiled helplessly, but her smile was full of doting.

The snow fell without a trace. After watching the snow scene, the three women, along with a delicate little baby, returned to the East Palace.

The constant sounds of laughter and joy made people outside the palace frequently look in to find out what was going on, but due to palace rules, they could only stop and watch.

Not long after, Song Yan came out, but did not disperse them. Instead, he took a large box of food and change and distributed them to the palace maids outside the East Palace.

"Today, the little princess got a book during her one-year-old celebration. Your Majesty is very pleased. Come, come, come, everyone who comes will be rewarded!"

With this invitation, all the palace maids and eunuchs, both openly and secretly, flocked to the palace.

After taking the things, a maid asked:

"May I ask which lady gave birth to the little princess at this one-year-old party?"

Another maid hit her and interrupted:

"Oh, don't ask! His Majesty has not announced it to the world, and he personally attended the birthday party to celebrate. He values ​​her so much, so he must have made long-term plans for the little princess' future!"

"In that case, this lady must be either rich or noble!"

"I heard that His Majesty personally found the Queen's mentor in order to teach this little princess in the future!"

A young eunuch scratched his head and said, "But this name is not legitimate..."

A slightly older palace maid rolled her eyes at him, "You don't understand this, do you? Most of the royal children in our Jin Kingdom are not included in the royal imperial family until they are in early childhood to prevent the children from dying. Besides, this little princess is raised in the East Palace, isn't she comparable to an ordinary princess?"

All the onlookers sighed and looked at Song Yan.

However, Song Yan did not nod, nor did he deny it. He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty's will is not something you can guess!"

After saying this, he asked everyone to go away, then he half-closed the palace door and hid behind it.

Two of the palace maids looked at each other silently, one disappeared in the direction of Kunning Palace, and the other continued to hide behind the rockery outside the palace gate.

Songyan stared at them for a while, then turned back.

With a "bang", a teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The water in the cup spilled onto the ground, emitting wisps of white mist.

"What! Concubine De is there too?!" Queen Wan Qianni was furious.

"Your Majesty, I did see Concubine De entering the Eastern Palace with many gifts. Not long after, His Majesty also entered with a box in his hand. I guess it was a birthday gift..."

Ruyi interrupted the maid's report and asked, "Have you heard anything else?"

"I heard... I heard... the little princess's biological mother is a fairy who has descended to earth, and she is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the depths and geese fall to the ground... She is deeply favored by the emperor, and in the future... in the future she will definitely be the most favored in the harem... It is certain that she will give birth to a prince in the near future..."

"Idiot!" The queen raised her foot and kicked her. The maid lost her balance and fell to the ground, but her hand just happened to press on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

A piercing pain spread throughout her body, but she dared not say another word. She could only get up and quickly kneel down, trembling.

Ruyi sighed secretly.

How could such words be said so bluntly? She couldn't help it.

Looking at the palace maids kneeling in front of her, Wan Qianni suddenly smiled coldly.

"Then it will be up to you to remove the obstacles in this harem for me!"

The little maid looked up in confusion. "Madam?"

Ruyi quickly gave him a look, "You bastard! Just do whatever the queen tells you to do!"

"I'll do whatever Your Majesty commands!" The little palace maid kowtowed repeatedly.
