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

After Lu Qingshuang finished speaking, Prince Jing touched his chin and looked thoughtful.

"I was thinking about this before. The Jiang family cannot come back for the time being, so I have no way to reward them. In the backyard of the palace, there are two concubines below you, Princess. Why not let her be promoted to concubine?"

As soon as Prince Jing finished speaking, Lu Qingshuang subconsciously objected.

"No!"

Prince Jing looked over and Lu Qingshuang almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face.

She took a deep breath, clenched and unclenched her fists, and tried to explain in a calm tone.

"Don't get me wrong, my lord. It's not that I don't want to do this, but Aunt Jiang has only been in the mansion for a few months. She is young, and the Jiang family has been convicted of crimes... and she has no children. If I promote her to concubine just based on what happened today, I'm afraid it will be hard to convince everyone!"

Prince Jing said nothing and continued to look at her.

Lu Qingshuang's fingers trembled slightly and her tone changed.

"However, she has made great contributions today, so it is reasonable for the prince to value her. In my opinion, it is better to give Aunt Jiang the treatment of a concubine first, and then when she gives birth to a child in the future, she can be officially promoted to a concubine. Isn't that legitimate?"

Prince Jing withdrew his gaze.

"Just do as you say!"

Lu Qingshuang stood up and bent her knees.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Prince Jing did not raise his head, but just said "hmm" in response.

Lu Qingshuang walked out of the study, and the two maids immediately followed her with anxious looks on their faces. They wanted to say something, but when they saw their master's expression, they swallowed their words back.

Lu Qingshuang said nothing and kept her facial expression unchanged.

It was not until she returned to the main courtyard that she put away her stiff smile and rubbed her face hard.

As soon as she sat down, Nanny Lu rushed in.

"Princess, you are finally back. The house was in chaos when you were not here."

Lu Qingshuang held her forehead with one hand, looking tired.

"Mammy, I'm very tired now. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Madam Lu slapped her thigh.

"But I can't wait, Princess! That Jiang is arrogant and bullies others. She relies on the favor of the prince and doesn't take me seriously at all. She treats me like this, how can she have you in her eyes? If she is not eliminated as soon as possible, won't she climb over your head in the future?"

Lu Qingshuang raised her head suddenly.

"Who are you talking about?"

"It's Aunt Jiang Wanyue!"

Lu Qingshuang's eyes were shocked, and then she looked at the other maids.

"What's going on? Bailing, tell me."

Bailing glanced at Nanny Lu, stepped forward, and told her everything that had happened.

She did not exaggerate and spoke very objectively. This was her character and the reason why Lu Qingshuang trusted her.

Nanny Lu was a little unhappy.

"Why are you talking to them?"

Bai Ling said without even raising her head: "This servant said what she saw, and she is not siding with anyone. Please understand, Princess."

Nanny Lu wanted to say something, but Lu Qingshuang waved her hand to stop her.

"Okay, stop talking. The prince has already said that Concubine Jiang should be treated as a concubine. These little things are insignificant. If she wants to boil the medicine in her own residence, just let her go."

As soon as Lu Qingshuang finished speaking, Nanny Lu's eyes suddenly widened, and her yellow eyeballs almost popped out.

"What? Did the prince take the wrong medicine? He actually wants to give that bitch... the treatment of a concubine? Why? Princess, why don't you stop it?"

Lu Qingshuang curled the corners of his mouth.

"Stop? Don't you know what kind of temper the prince has? Who can oppose his decision? Besides, Aunt Jiang has done a great deed today and helped the prince, so she is treated like this. It's not excessive."

She exhaled.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Lily, tell Madam Liang to select a few more people to send to Wutong Courtyard. All the treatment that a concubine receives will be given to her today."

Several maids immediately took the order and left.

Madam Lu gritted her teeth, but still refused to give in.

"Princess, are you really going to sit back and watch that little bitch surnamed Jiang succeed? She has only been in the palace for three months, and she is already climbing to the position of concubine! This is faster than Cui's!"

"okay!"

Lu Qingshuang suddenly raised her voice and slammed the table hard.

Nanny Lu rarely saw her so angry, and was startled, then she reached out to pull her hand.

"Oh, my ancestor, doesn't this hand hurt? If you are angry with me, just beat me, why hurt yourself?"

Nanny Lu felt so distressed that she blew on her palm and went to get the ointment.

Lu Qingshuang looked at the nanny's back, and the irritation in her eyes gradually disappeared.

Not long after, Nanny Lu came back with the ointment, bent over, and carefully applied the ointment to the palm of Lu Qingshuang's hand.

Lu Qingshuang was silent for a while and then spoke.

"Nurse, now is the critical moment for our Jingwang Mansion to fight with Qiwang Mansion, and the stability of the harem is more important. Whether it is Cui Yan or Jiang Wanyue, it is not appropriate to move now. The Jiang family was a noble family in the past. Although it is temporarily in decline, it already has a certain status among the literati. The prince's intention is to win over the Jiang family, so he gave Jiang Wanyue the treatment of a concubine."

She broke it down and explained it carefully to the nanny.

Aunt Lu looked solemn.

"I understand. Aunt Jiang cannot move now. But you should also think about what I said."

Lu Qingshuang's eyes were cold.

She knew what Mammy meant.

Jiang Wanyue has only been in the mansion for three months and her status is already catching up with Cui Yan. If she gives birth to a child in the future...

Although Lu Qingshuang originally didn't quite believe that Prince Jing would favor his concubine over his wife and give the position of Crown Prince to someone else.

But this is just the position of the crown prince.

Once Prince Jing ascends the throne, will he still love Ye'er as much as he does now? Will he immediately make Ye'er the crown prince?

Lu Qingshuang felt unsure.

She began to feel uneasy.

This time, Lu Qingshuang was silent for a very long time.

It was so long that it was dark outside and candles were lit in the house before Lu Qingshuang came to her senses.

She raised her head and stared at Nanny Lu with burning eyes.

"Nanny, I have something for you to do. But you have to bear with me for a while."

When Madam Lu saw her expression, she knew that she had listened to her words, and she felt relieved.

"As long as it's for you and the young master, I am willing to endure any grievances."

Lu Qingshuang held the nanny's hand tightly.

Inhale a breath into your chest and exhale slowly.

His gaze became more determined.

But within that determination, there was a hint of ruthlessness that was barely perceptible.
