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

Because of what happened recently, Jiang Wanyue has been feeling a sense of inexplicable anxiety.

At this moment, her heart finally settled down.

Jiang Wanyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head to take a look.

At this glance, she suddenly discovered that Xiuchun had been tightly holding the sleeve of her right hand.

Jiang Wanyue's eyes flickered slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking in her heart, but she said something.

"You've worked hard all day, you must be tired, go and rest first!"

Her tone was gentle and warm, no different from usual.

Xiuchun relaxed and a smile appeared on her face.

"I'm not tired, slave."

"I've told you so many times, you don't have to call yourself a slave now."

As a female official in the palace, if she had a rank, she could call herself a minister instead of a slave.

"I'm used to calling you that." Xiuchun said with a smile, "Besides, I'm not the only one saying that!"

Jiang Wanyue looked helpless, stood up, patted her right hand, and gently pushed her.

"Okay, go and rest first! We'll be busy tomorrow!"

Xiuchun subconsciously grabbed the table with her right hand to keep her body steady.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Jiang Wanyue's gaze fell on her right hand.

After just one glance, she looked away.

"Go!"

Her expression remained unchanged as she watched Xiuchun bow her knees to her, then she turned around and walked out of the palace.

When Xiuchun's figure disappeared from sight, the expression on Jiang Wanyue's face gradually relaxed.

Xiuchun is hiding something from me!

She kept grabbing the sleeve of her right hand to hide what she was wearing on her wrist.

Just now, Jiang Wanyue saw it at a glance.

It was a silver bracelet.

It looks like an ordinary silver bracelet, but it seems to have a cluster of orchids carved on it.

Such a table was something Xiuchun looked down upon, even when she was at the Jiang family.

Not to mention, Xiuchun is now a lady-in-waiting in the palace and the most important person around her. Her daily food, clothing and shelter are no worse than those of the daughters of officials outside.

Her favorite originally was a purple jade bracelet.

But now, she wore it on her hand like a treasure, and covered it up.

It is obvious that this bracelet was not bought by Xiuchun herself.

Who sent that?

Jiang Wanyue's brows were wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川", her thoughts flying. Suddenly, a person appeared in her mind.

After a long time, Jiang Wanyue sighed deeply, looking melancholy.

"Perhaps, godmother is right. This palace is not suitable for Xiuchun to stay any longer..."

She lowered her head and muttered to herself, words that only she could hear.

After that, Jiang Wanyue was not in a good mood and looked like she was in a bad mood.

After finishing dinner with Li Ce, she forced herself to stay awake and listened to Li Ce talking about what happened in the afternoon.

The court affairs that Jiang Wanyue had originally been quite interested in now became a bit more annoying.

She couldn't help but think about Xiuchun and was not sure what to do.

If she had followed her previous thoughts, she would definitely want Xiuchun to stay with her forever.

There are not many people in this palace whom she can completely trust.

But what Aunt Sun said had a significant impact on her.

After Li Ce finished speaking, he looked up and saw Jiang Wanyue standing in a daze, so he couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong with you today? Are you worried?"

Jiang Wanyue woke up suddenly.

Hearing the words she had asked Xiuchun before, Jiang Wanyue couldn't help but sigh.

She thought about it and decided to ask Li Ce for his opinion.
