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

The maids were excited about Prince Jing's favor for his master, but Jiang Wanyue saw something else.

Prince Jing doesn't like Ren Wantang very much...

He was also very dissatisfied with the family of the Minister of War.

Prince Jing did not hide this at all, and not only Jiang Wanyue but everyone else saw it as well.

Soon it was the second day of March, and Prince Jing's mansion became a little lively.

After the banquet was over and the guests left, Prince Jing, who was drunk, took Rong An and others to Luoying Courtyard where Ren Wantang lived.

That night, Jiang Wanyue went to bed early.

She is two months pregnant and has no symptoms of morning sickness. Instead, she can eat and sleep well and has a very good appetite.

When I woke up from a nap, it was already early the next morning.

Jiang Wanyue had just sat up when Mi'er tiptoed into the room with a mysterious expression on her face.

"What? Did something happen last night?"

Jiang Wanyue took the initiative to ask.

Mi'er chuckled and said as she went to get her clothes.

"Aunt, you will never guess what happened last night! The prince was going to Luoying Courtyard last night, but was intercepted by Aunt Guan and stayed at her place! The new concubine stayed alone in the empty room all night, and the news spread all over the mansion."

Jiang Wanyue was a little surprised.

"You said Aunt Guan intercepted someone?"

This is not like her style!

"There's absolutely no mistake. I went there to wait before daybreak and watched the prince come out." Mi'er gloated.

Jiang Wanyue put on her clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, and touched her chin.

Then it will be lively when we pay our respects later.

She had seen Ren Wantang before, and he was not a weak person.

Guan Rou dared to take the risk to intercept Prince Jing, she must have been forced into a desperate situation.

It would be quite entertaining to watch if these two were to collide head on.

It's a pity that I can't see it.

Jiang Wanyue still took leave today and did not go to pay her respects.

Jiang Wanyue would never go out until the baby in her belly was three months old.

Even if she didn't go, she would still know what happened during the greetings.

Not long after, Cui Yan came over.

As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't wait to talk to Jiang Wanyue.

"The main courtyard was very lively this morning. It's a pity that you were not here and missed a good show."

Jiang Wanyue smiled and poured her a cup of tea.

"Is it Concubine Ren and Aunt Guan?"

Cui Yan nodded: "I guess everyone knows what happened last night. When Ren Wantang arrived at the main courtyard, her face was very ugly. When the princess was here, she could still hold it in, but when the princess asked everyone to disperse, she slapped Guan Rou as soon as she left the main courtyard."

"We were all shocked. We didn't expect her to suddenly attack us. Guan Rou wanted to apologize to her, but Ren Wantang didn't listen and scolded her. In the end, Guan Rou couldn't bear it anymore and said a few sarcastic words. She almost got beaten again. Fortunately, the princess sent someone out to inquire and stopped Ren Wantang."

"Guan Rou returned to the main courtyard crying and complained to the princess. The princess tried to smooth things over and only said a few words to Ren Wantang. In the end, she sent the two of them back separately."

Cui Yan finished speaking in one breath and let out a long breath.

Jiang Wanyue was not surprised at all.

No one could swallow the humiliation that happened last night.

Ren Wantang has his maternal grandparents' family as his backer and the imperial edict at his side. Unlike Jiang Wanyue, who entered the mansion alone, he does not need to endure.

It is obvious that Prince Jing doesn't like her. If she continues to be weak, how can she find a place in this palace?

Jiang Wanyue wondered, if she were Ren Wantang, how would she break the impasse?

After much thought, the only thing to do is to coax Prince Jing into bed and have a child as soon as possible while Prince Jing still needs his maternal grandparents' home.

After beating Guan Rou, the next step is to go find Prince Jing and cry to him.

After seeing Cui Yan off, Jiang Wanyue waved to Mi'er and called her over, whispering a few words to her.

Mier went out happily.

She came back at lunch time.

"Aunt, Concubine Ren just took people to the front yard to look for the prince."

Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows.

It seems that Ren Wantang has the same idea as hers.

I just wonder if Prince Jing will go to her place tonight?

As it turned out, Prince Jing was not so easy to fool.

That night, he still did not go to Luoying Courtyard, but went to the main courtyard.

Lu Qingshuang was very surprised, but still went to greet Prince Jing with a happy look on her face.

Ren Wantang was filled with anger, but she was the princess and she couldn't take it out on her, so she could only bear it herself.

Fortunately, on the third day, Prince Jing finally set foot in Luoying Courtyard.

The next day, when he went to the main courtyard to pay his respects, Ren Wantang finally felt proud.

In order to get pregnant as soon as possible, Ren Wantang was attentive to her every day, making a soup today and giving her a sachet tomorrow.

This made the other concubines in the mansion feel a sense of urgency, and they all followed her example and tried to curry favor and show their affection.

Especially the two new arrivals, one of them was good at dancing. She wore a thin gauze skirt in the cold weather and danced gracefully in the garden, trying to attract Prince Jing's attention.

She really succeeded.

Prince Jing stayed at her place for three consecutive days.

Others followed suit and tried hard to show off their talents.

The backyard of the palace has never been so lively.

Only Wutong Courtyard and Nianyun Pavilion were relatively quiet.

Jiang Wanyue had watched the show for a few days and had gotten to know the two newcomers quite well.

The concubine who was good at dancing was called Yu Chuyue. It was a good name, but her identity was a bit embarrassing.

Her father was the consort of Princess Jincheng, but her biological mother was not the princess, but a concubine.

Jiang Wanyue had seen her once before. She was extremely beautiful and was considered one of the most beautiful women in the entire capital.

With such a background and trying hard to win favor, it is obvious that he has great ambitions.

This is a strong enemy.

In comparison, Ren Wantang is nothing.

Jiang Wanyue thought about it for a few days, and asked someone to invite Liang's mother over and gave her some instructions.

A few days later, a little maidservant beside Aunt Yu broke a vase and was taken away, and was replaced by a new maid.

March passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was April.

As the weather got warmer, the masters and servants in the mansion all changed into light clothes.

Jiang Wanyue tried on new clothes, looked at her slightly bulging belly, and couldn't help pinching the flesh around her waist.

"It's only been three months, and you've already gained so much weight. Won't you be as fat as a ball when you're about to give birth?"

she lamented.

Xiuchun comforted him, "You are not fat, you were just too thin before. Now that you are pregnant with the little master, of course you have to eat better. The prince has already given an order to let the small kitchen serve you wholeheartedly!"

Jiang Wanyue pinched her face again.

"I remember when my mother was pregnant with Fuyun, she didn't gain much weight except for her belly. No, no, I can't go on like this. I need to move more from today on. Come with me to the garden for a walk!"

Xiuchun replied yes, turned around and called Mier, Xuzhi and the others, and went out together.

Two maids led the way, followed by two more at the back. Four pairs of eyes stared around, looking carefully, fearing that any problem might arise.

Jiang Wanyue walked slowly to the garden, looking at the colorful flowers, she felt much better.

After the spring, the gardener spent a lot of time and effort to cultivate new flower varieties.

What is available in the garden is actually also available in Jiang Wanyue’s Wutong Courtyard, but the potted flowers and trees always seem to be missing something and are not as lively as the flowers and plants in front of them.

Jiang Wanyue saw a tall gardenia. It was not yet summer, so only a few flowers had bloomed sporadically. However, the flowers were quite large and had a strong fragrance. The unique scent of gardenia could be smelled from afar.

"Pick two branches and put them in a vase."

Jiang Wanyue pointed at the bowl-sized flower in front of her and said.

Xiuchun nodded and was about to step forward when suddenly a little maid came out from the side.

"What are you doing? These are the flowers our concubine wanted. Who allowed you to pick them?"
