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

Jiang Wanyue had just received a letter from her cousin, Lady Su Xin, Marquis of Gu'an.

Marquis Gu'an is considered an old noble, but since the death of the old Marquis Gu'an, the Marquis's mansion has been getting worse and worse. The current Marquis Gu'an Chen Jun has great ambitions but little talent, and is not a capable person, otherwise Jiang Wanyue would not have been able to convince him to send her to Prince Jing's mansion.

As for Su Xin, her attitude towards Jiang Wanyue was somewhat complicated.

The two are of similar age. Su Xin is one year older than Jiang Wanyue and she always secretly compares herself with her cousin Jiang Wanyue.

Compare appearance, literary talent, jewelry, and marriage arrangements.

Jiang Wanyue is prettier than her, more well-read and more talented in writing than her. Su Xin feels that she has been suppressed for more than ten years and has always been sarcastic to Jiang Wanyue.

But after the Jiang family got into trouble, she was one of the few people willing to accept Jiang Wanyue.

When Jiang Wanyue wanted to enter Prince Jing's Mansion, Su Xin strongly opposed it, but in the end she could not overcome the determination of her husband and cousin. For this reason, she got angry with Jiang Wanyue and refused to talk to her.

"After such a long time, my cousin's anger has finally subsided."

After reading the letter, Jiang Wanyue couldn't help laughing.

Xiuchun came over curiously.

"What did the cousin say in the letter?"

"Nothing, just some small talk, and she said she would send me some newly harvested rice in a couple of days." Jiang Wanyue smiled broadly, "My aunt and mother both like to eat the soft rice from northern Jiangsu, and my cousin specially planted a lot of it on her farm."

"My cousin still cares about you. Why don't you send some gifts in return?" Xiuchun suggested.

Jiang Wanyue thought so, and she still had some good things on hand.

But given Su Xin's personality, she would definitely not accept it, and would probably even write to me to scold me.

Jiang Wanyue held her chin with one hand, thought carefully for a long time, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"My cousin has never had a child. Why don't you ask the princess for a piece of clothing from the prince for my cousin? She will definitely not refuse."

Xiuchun asked uncertainly, "Will the princess agree?"

"It's not like the prince is going to wear it, so it shouldn't be a problem. The Gu'an Marquis's Mansion is not unknown in the capital. Besides, the princess has been very kind to me recently, so she shouldn't refuse this request."

Jiang Wanyue said this and put away the letter.

Children from wealthy families have countless clothes from childhood to adulthood, but not all of them are worn. Most of them are never worn once and are put at the bottom of the box.

In the first few days after Jiang Wanyue entered the palace, the princess was mostly stern towards her, but recently, as Aunt Luo became more favored, the princess' attitude became much gentler.

This is normal. The mistress of the house should also adhere to a balanced and moderate policy. If Aunt Luo's family is allowed to dominate, it will not be good for the princess.

Now Prince Jing has only two sons, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.

The fewer children there are, the more precious they become.

The third young master's status rose rapidly.

If you put yourself in her shoes, if she were the princess, she would also find ways to support other concubines, and it would be best if she gave birth to more sons to lower the status of the Third Young Master in Prince Jing's heart.

As for harming the child...she believed that the princess would not do that.

First of all, a daughter raised by the Lu family would not do such a thing.

Secondly... as I said before, there are too few children. Once something happens to the Third Young Master, the Princess will definitely be the first one to be suspected.

Her position is now stable and her son has been named the crown prince, so there is really no need to add unnecessary things.

Some time ago, she explained to Xiuchun that she would not have children for the time being, but she never expected that the opportunity would come so soon.

She was ready to stop taking the birth control pill.

While Jiang Wanyue and Xiuchun were talking, a maid came in to report.

"Auntie, Auntie Guan is here."

Jiang Wanyue looked surprised.

"What is she here for?"

"Aunt Guan said that she got a book today, but she couldn't understand some parts, so she came to ask you for help." The little maid replied.

Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows and didn't believe this.

Xiuchun looked at her master: "Does Auntie want to see her?"

Jiang Wanyue spoke in a casual tone.

"If you don't want to see me, just say I'm not feeling well and I won't see you."

Xiuchun nodded, and went out with the maid to reject Guan Rou.

Guan Rou didn't expect that even though she took the initiative to visit, Jiang Wanyue actually refused to see her. She was so angry that her eyes were full of fire.

But she soon calmed down, still smiling, and said politely: "Then when Aunt Jiang is well, I will come to ask for advice another day."

After saying this, she left with her maid.

Xiuchun let out a breath.

Just now she thought Aunt Guan was going to get angry and curse!

She closed the gate and went back into the house.

"Madam Guan is really good at keeping her temper. I can see that she is angry, but she didn't lose her temper and was able to speak in a gentle voice."

Jiang Wanyue raised her head and glanced out the window.

"The more such people are, the more careful we should be in dealing with them."

"I understand." Xiuchun nodded seriously, "Do you want to have someone keep an eye on her?"

Jiang Wanyue shook her head again.

"We are so few in number, let's not waste our time on her."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

There are not enough people!

Apart from Xiuchun, the only one who can be used now is Mier. Xing'er is fine for daily service, but her performance is disappointing when it comes to dealing with outsiders.

Jiang Wanyue rested her chin on her hand and watched the maids busying around in the yard.

Do you want to win over some more people?

The previous Mrs. Liang was a good candidate.

However, we have to think of a foolproof plan to win them over.

Ever since Prince Jing said he would send someone to take care of the Jiang family, Jiang Wanyue has become much calmer and less impatient.

With Prince Jing taking care of them, it would not be easy for Prince Qi to wipe out the entire Jiang family without making any noise.

After all, the King of Qi’s main power is in the capital, not at the border.

In this way, Jiang Wanyue's biggest worry was solved, and she could survive in Prince Jing's Mansion in a more secure way.

Therefore, even though Prince Jing has come less frequently recently, Jiang Wanyue is not in a hurry.

She could guess some of Prince Jing's thoughts.

The reason why he had been visiting Aunt Luo so frequently recently was simply because he felt uncomfortable after the death of the second son, and wanted to see his healthy third son more often to comfort himself.

People will always subconsciously avoid things that make them sad.

Not everyone is like the concubine, who dares to open up her own scarred heart again and again.

That night, Prince Jing still stayed at Aunt Luo's place.

Jiang Wanyue extinguished the candle early and went to bed with Xiuchun.

The next day when she went to the main courtyard to pay her respects, Aunt Luo was late.

However, Concubine Cui Yan came early, which was rare for her.

Jiang Wanyue was a little surprised when she saw her when she entered the room.

Cui Yan smiled at her.

Jiang Wanyue hurried forward and saluted.

"Greetings to Madam, are you feeling better today?"

Cui Yan nodded with a kind look in her eyes.

"We are all family, there is no need to be so formal. Just call me sister from now on! How about I call you Sister Wanyue?"

Jiang Wanyue couldn't refuse this, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

Cui Yan pulled her to sit next to him.

"I heard that you haven't been feeling well these days? What's wrong with you? Do you want to ask the court doctor to take a look? If you don't like the court doctor, I know a female doctor who specializes in treating women's diseases."
