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

That night, Prince Jing rested in the study.

Rong An had the message delivered to the backyard, and the lights in the backyard gradually went out.

But the lights in Huanxi Courtyard on the east side of the garden were still on.

Xie Lanxi is smashing things.

She didn't smash the vases or porcelain, but the sandbags.

Sandbags were thrown from her hands one after another, hitting the shelf twenty steps away accurately.

There was a big pillow tied to the shelf, and a piece of paper was pasted on the top.

There was a face drawn on the paper.

It's just that the painting skills are crude and I really can't tell who this person is.

But there is no need to guess, you can tell who it is from the curse coming out of Xie Lanxi's mouth.

"Luo Qingqing! You are such a sinister villain! How dare you lie to me! Jiang Wanyue, you are not a good person either, you are taking advantage of others' misfortune!"

After throwing all the sandbags, Xie Lanxi threw herself on the table and started crying.

"The prince doesn't even come to see me..."

Her maid Qiao'er advised: "Don't cry, Auntie. The princess has confined you to your room. Even if it is the prince, he cannot come to see you regardless of the princess's wishes! But the prince must have you in his heart. The master is also thinking about you and has sent a lot of things to you!"

Xie Lanxi looked at the gift box on the table outside and said "Pooh".

"Dad, how could he be concerned about me? He just wants me to help him speak well of him in front of the prince!"

Xie Lanxi has many brothers and sisters, and she is not the most favored one. When the Xie family wanted to send someone to the palace, she was not chosen. It was because her third sister and fifth sister fought too hard and both were injured. One of them hurt her face and the other hurt her voice. In the end, her father chose her.

Xie Lanxi knew from a young age that she was not smart, but she was still pretty. She thought that even in Prince Jing's Mansion, there were not many people who could surpass her.

But I didn't expect that Jiang Wanyue would come just a few months after entering the mansion.

She was jealous and she hated it, but she was more afraid.

If she loses even her beauty, will the prince still like her?

She wanted to drive Jiang Wanyue away, but she was not as smart as her and ended up being punished instead.

Xie Lanxi didn't even look at the gifts, she just kept crying.

Qiao'er was worried and anxious. She said several words but it was of no use to comfort her master. Suddenly she remembered what she had said to Mi'er before.

"Our aunt actually knows that Aunt Xie is not a bad person, she just targeted our aunt because she was instigated by others. Isn't that right? Our aunt asked me to send some things to Aunt Xie. These things can't be compared with Aunt Luo's, but they are also a little thought from our aunt."

Qiao'er thought, since her master was not a smart person, she should not go against those smart people. She would not be able to win the fight and in the end, she might be harmed by someone without knowing it.

Isn’t Aunt Luo a good example?

And that concubine Guan was not much better. The master had been confined for so many days, and she had not come once.

Instead, it was Aunt Jiang who asked someone to send something over.

Qiao'er had something in mind, she took a breath and spoke in a low voice.

"Actually, Auntie, what does it matter if Auntie Jiang is beautiful? After all, without her family to rely on, she is like a rootless duckweed in this mansion."

Xie Lanxi's crying gradually stopped.

Qiao Er continued, "My aunt was thinking the wrong thing before. What's the point of dealing with Aunt Jiang? Even if we drive away Aunt Jiang, there won't be any other beauties. Now that our prince is valued by the emperor, there will be more gifts and beauties sent to him."

As Xie Lanxi listened, her eyes dimmed and she felt that her future was bleak.

Unexpectedly, Qiao'er changed the subject.

"But Auntie! In the past, whether Auntie Jiang entered the palace or not, the prince never forgot you, right? What does this mean? It means that the prince still likes you! You always think Auntie Jiang is prettier than you, but which one of the princesses and concubines is not a beauty?"

Xie Lanxi was confused.

"What on earth are you going to say?"

Qiao'er took a deep breath and said, "I want to say that the reason why the prince likes me is not because of my appearance, but because of your personality! This is what makes you different from others."

Xie Lanxi was stunned for a moment, then blinked slowly.

Qiaoer kept up the good work.

"As long as Auntie remains the same as before, the prince will naturally see you."

Xie Lanxi’s brain started working.

"What you said... seems to make sense. The prince once said that I am cute and interesting, and different from others."

She blinked again.

"The prince doesn't seem to like people who are too smart. Sister Guan is so smart and not bad looking, but the prince rarely goes to her place."

Qiao'er's eyes lit up, and she said hurriedly, "Isn't it? Auntie, you were led astray by Auntie Guan in the past. You listened to her and lost the prince's heart. I didn't dare to say it before, but now I have to say it. I think Auntie Guan doesn't really care about you, she just uses you."

You can't use hints with Xie Lanxi. You have to speak clearly so that she will listen.

Sure enough, when Qiao'er said this, Xie Lanxi's eyes suddenly widened, her not-so-smart brain worked for a while, and then she became furious.

"I was wondering why I'm always the unlucky one!"

"Bitch!"

"She is just like Luo Qingqing, both are sinister villains!"

Xie Lanxi stood up quickly and paced back and forth in the room, looking very angry. She was not crying anymore, but just angry.

Xie Lanxi scolded the two of them all night and put her jealousy and anger towards Jiang Wanyue behind her.

Xie Lanxi didn't sleep that night.

Jiang Wanyue didn't sleep much either.

She was thinking about things outside.

I don’t know if the changes at the border will have an impact on the Jiang family.

If a war breaks out suddenly, criminals like the Jiang family will definitely be the first to be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

Compared with this matter, the fight between those people in the backyard was unimportant to her.

The next day, she went to the main courtyard to pay her respects with dark circles under her eyes.

Cui Yan was shocked when she saw it.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

She thought about it and thought that Jiang Wanyue was sad because Luo Qingqing had intercepted her. She frowned and advised in a low voice.

"Sister, you are young and your heart is pure and passionate. You don't have to throw all your energy on the prince. Our prince is not a sentimental person. It's not worth it to hurt yourself and your heart for him."

Jiang Wanyue was originally thinking about something, but when she heard these words, her eyes widened.

"Sister Cui, this is in the princess's courtyard!"

She reminded quietly.

Cui Yan pulled the corner of his mouth.

"What are you afraid of? She, Lu Qingshuang, is no different from me."

Jiang Wanyue stopped talking.

Cui Yan came back to his senses, sighed, and patted Jiang Wanyue's hand.

"Don't have any expectations of you, Your Majesty. Having a child soon is better than anything else."
