They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Jiang Wanyue and the little girl looked at each other.

The little girl seemed to remember her etiquette. She patted her skirt, stood still, and bent her knees towards Jiang Wanyue.

"Yin'er has met Aunt Jiang."

Jiang Wanyue held her hand.

"No need to be polite. Why are you here alone?"

Li Chengyin bit her lip.

"I want to see my brother..."

Jiang Wanyue's heart softened.

She thought of her sister.

She has many brothers but only one sister. When she was little, her sister was also so soft and cute. She always followed her and called her sister "sister". When she heard her talk, she would look at her with big eyes full of admiration.

Jiang Wanyue touched Li Chengyin's head.

Perhaps it was because her hands were as warm as a mother's, or perhaps it was because her eyes were too gentle, Li Chengyin turned his head and rubbed Jiang Wanyue's palm.

"Aunt Jiang, why did my brother turn into a piece of wood? Will he turn back and play with me in the future? I haven't played with my brother for a long time. He is always sleeping and the nanny said that we can't disturb him. I got a lot of new and interesting toys recently, and I hid them and waited for my brother to wake up to play with him!"

Little people don't know what death is.

The innocent words and questions asked by the child left Jiang Wanyue speechless.

The maidservant beside her couldn't hold it in any longer, so she covered her mouth tightly and cried silently.

Xiuchun looked sad and wiped her eyes and comforted the maid.

Jiang Wanyue squatted down and held Li Chengyin's small hands.

She was silent for a long time before she spoke.

"Your brother will never change back."

Li Chengyin's eyes widened.

The maid anxiously tried to stop her, but Jiang Wanyue continued speaking.

"The second young master is different from us. He is a fairy from heaven. When he was in heaven, he saw your mother and you, and he was happy. He wanted to have such a mother and sister, so he came down to earth. Now the time has come, and he will go back to heaven."

Li Chengyin opened his mouth and suddenly realized.

"Is your brother in heaven now?"

She looked up and saw a roof. She hurried outside, staring at the dark sky and shouting.

"younger brother!"

Jiang Wanyue rushed to her side and made a "hush" gesture.

"Don't shout! If the priest in heaven hears and knows that your brother has secretly come down to earth, he will be punished. So, from now on, we should talk to the Second Young Master silently in our hearts, okay?"

The little girl quickly covered her mouth and nodded seriously.

After nodding, she suddenly thought of something and excitedly pulled Jiang Wanyue to the main house.

"Mother! Mother!"

She ran to the concubine, lay on her knees, and spoke excitedly and happily.

"Aunt Jiang said that my brother is a fairy boy and has returned to heaven. Mother, my brother must be watching us from heaven now! But heaven is so far away from us, I don't know if he can hear us talking. I'll get out his favorite rattle, he likes it the most, he will definitely be able to hear it."

After the little girl finished speaking, she ran out again and soon came back with an old wooden rattle.

She turned the wooden handle, and two small wooden hammers hit the drum head, making a thumping sound.

Mrs. Ce's eyes suddenly trembled.

She turned her gaze and looked at the spinning little drumstick, and in an instant, sadness surged over her like a tide.

She stumbled over, hugged her daughter and burst into tears.

She cried so sadly that even Jiang Wanyue was moved and couldn't help shedding tears.

The little girl was a little confused and instinctively patted her mother's shoulder.

"Mom, dear, don't cry..."

She imitated the words that the adults usually used to coax her and used them to coax her mother in return.

The lady cried for a long time until the maid came to help her.

"Master, don't cry. The Second Young Master is gone, but you still have the Second Young Miss! The Second Young Miss is so sensible, can you bear to abandon her?"

Cui Yan slowly stopped crying and was helped to the couch by the maids.

She held her daughter's hand tightly and shed tears silently for a while before she remembered that there were guests.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Jiang has been here for so long, but I didn't ask anyone to bring you a cup of tea."

Jiang Wanyue waved her hand.

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it. You should have a good rest. I will come to visit you when your wife is feeling better. Then we can have tea together!"

After saying that, she bent her knees slightly, waved to Xiuchun, and walked out.

She had originally just wanted to come over to burn some incense and leave, but she hadn't expected to encounter something like this...

Thinking of the concubine's sad and crying face, Jiang Wanyue felt a little depressed.

She thought about her past life.

She has a second chance and can save her family.

But the concubine will never see her child again in this life.

Xiuchun supported her gently.

Neither of them spoke and walked back to the courtyard in silence.

Nianyun Pavilion fell silent.

In the following days, Prince Jing did not set foot in the backyard.

I think he was a little sad too.

But men always recover quickly from sadness.

After the seventh day after the second young master's death, Prince Jing went to Aunt Luo's place.

Aunt Luo raised the third young master, who was a few months younger than the second young master, but was in good health, lively, and particularly likable.

The servants in the palace were all shrewd people. As soon as the second young master left, they saw that the third young master was about to gain favor, so they all rushed to Aunt Luo to serve her.

Jiang Wanyue's place became deserted.

But Prince Jing would come over occasionally, so she was living quite well.

The person with the most upset mentality is probably Guan Rou.

Originally, Luo Qingqing was in confinement, Xie Lanxi was under house arrest to reflect on her mistakes, and the concubine had lost her son and was recuperating from illness. The only concubines left were Aunt Luo, Guan Rou, and Jiang Wanyue.

Guan Rou secretly regarded Jiang Wanyue as her rival and sent people to keep a close eye on her.

But she never expected that the old lady Aunt Luo would actually get up!

Aunt Luo had been in the mansion for several years, and except for the year she gave birth to a child, she was not very favored at other times. Prince Jing mostly went to her to see the child.

Prince Jing had always been indifferent to her third son and didn't pay much attention to him. After all, he already had two sons, one was a legitimate son and the other was weak, so they both needed more attention.

Who could have thought that she would suddenly turn the tables thanks to her son?

Prince Jing stays with her seven out of ten days!

Guan Rou finally couldn't sit still anymore.

She knew that Prince Jing didn't like her very much, and she couldn't handle the situation on her own. Xie Lanxi was a hopeless case, so at this moment, Guan Rou urgently needed to find another ally.

She had no other choice but to choose Jiang Wanyue.

So, one day at the end of September, Guan Rou knocked on the door of Wutong Courtyard with gifts.
