Female supremacy: The journey of a pregnant princess to the top

The next morning, before attending the morning court, Ye Xinghe could not wait to send someone to his palace to pick up Jiang Lingyue and the children into the palace.

Jiang Lingyue brought the twins, a boy and a girl, to the palace prepared for her by Ye Xinghe.

When she saw the big words "Kunning Palace" on the plaque in front of the palace gate, she felt a little strange.

Kunning Palace? As far as she knew, this had always been the queen's bedroom. Ye Xinghe placed her here. Could it be that he wanted to make her the queen?

She had said before that she would never abandon her husband and children to marry someone else. What on earth does this man want to do?

But for some reason, she didn't reject Ye Xinghe's arrangement in her heart, and even felt vaguely happy and expectant.

Walking into Kunning Palace, you will find the courtyard is spacious and grand, clean and tidy, with exotic flowers and trees swaying in the wind, and pavilions and corridors running through it.

All the utensils and supplies inside and outside the palace have been replaced with new ones, and the decoration is luxurious and elegant.

There were a group of palace maids, eunuchs and servants. When they saw Jiang Lingyue and the others come in, they immediately came forward and kowtowed to them.

Then they were welcomed into the house in an orderly manner, served tea and water, and were very warm and respectful.

Jiang Lingyue looked at the head maid and asked softly, "What's your name?"

The maid bowed her head humbly and said, "Your Highness the Ninth Princess, my name is Cui Lian."

Jiang Lingyue smiled and said, "You are doing a good job. I will reward you."

After she finished speaking, Chuntao, her personal maid, took out a few golden beads from her storage bag and handed them to Cui Lian.

Cui Lian held the golden beads in both hands and kowtowed excitedly to express her gratitude.

"Thank you for the reward, Princess. It is my honor to serve you."

"Get up!"

Jiang Lingyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "I am clear about rewards and punishments. As long as you work hard, you will benefit from it.

But if anyone dares to have second thoughts, I will not show any mercy.”

Hearing this, everyone knelt down tremblingly, vying with each other to express their loyalty.

Jiang Lingyue waved her hand, signaling everyone to stand up, and everything returned to calm.

The wet nurse and maid who followed Jiang Lingyue from Tianfeng Country took the twins back to their rooms and took care of the two little ones.

After resting for a while, Jiang Lingyue took her personal maid Chuntao to stroll in the imperial garden.

When we came to a lake, the scenery was very nice with the reflections of grass and trees and the beautiful water.

Jiang Lingyue stopped and sat at the stone table by the lake, admiring the view quietly.

Chuntao was very considerate and asked people to serve tea and snacks.

With the breeze blowing on her face, Jiang Lingyue was in a very relaxed mood as she ate cakes and drank tea.

At this time, a delicate and beautiful woman in white, who looked to be in her twenties, was walking towards them from a distance.

When she saw Jiang Lingyue's beautiful face and slim figure, a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes, then quickly disappeared.

The woman smiled and said, "I wonder which sister is the one opposite to me, who is so beautiful?"

Jiang Lingyue raised her eyes and glanced, inexplicably feeling that the other person's smile was fake.

She smiled calmly and said, "Before asking someone's name, should you introduce yourself first?"

"My sister is rude." The woman in white came closer, bowed her head and chuckled, "I am Rong Qian, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Rong's mansion. The current emperor is my cousin."

Jiang Lingyue raised her eyebrows. She turned out to be the legitimate daughter of Ye Xinghe's uncle.

"I am the ninth princess of Tianfeng Kingdom, Jiang Lingyue." Jiang Lingyue pointed at the cakes in front of the stone table, "Would you like to sit down and eat together?"

Rong Qian sat down with a smile and casually chatted about family matters. "I have heard that the Ninth Princess is extremely beautiful. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is well-deserved."

Jiang Lingyue responded politely: "Miss Rong, you are too kind."

Rong Qian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and started chatting with her about the past.

“Before I was five years old, my cousin had not yet gone to Tianfeng Country.

At that time, he often went out with his brothers, holding me in his arms, and we all had a lot of fun.

Later, my cousin's personality changed when his aunt, the former queen, was killed by the imperial concubine.

Twenty years passed. Fortunately, my cousin came back and together with my father and brothers, he overthrew the imperial concubine's family.

How did the Ninth Princess and His Majesty meet?"

Jiang Lingyue frowned slightly. This question made her feel a little disgusted, but she still answered briefly: "It was just a chance meeting at the academy."

Rong Qian smiled meaningfully, "We are just classmates..."

Jiang Lingyue didn't want to chat with her anymore, so she left on the pretext of being tired.

On the way, Chun Tao said angrily: "That Rong Qian is clearly here with ill intentions! Princess, we must be careful of her in the future!"

Jiang Lingyue knew this, but she didn't want to cause trouble. "Don't pay attention to her. Just do our best."

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

At noon, Jiang Lingyue was having a meal when she heard the palace maid report that Rong Qian wanted to see her.

"No!" Jiang Lingyue refused without thinking.

But before he could finish his words, Rong Qian walked in.

Jiang Lingyue's face turned cold, "You trespassed into my bedroom, what do you want to do?"

Rong Qian suddenly fell to her knees and begged tearfully, "Ninth Princess, please give His Majesty back to me!"

"What are you doing? Get up!" Jiang Lingyue was surprised. Why did this woman suddenly kneel down?

"No, I won't get up unless the Ninth Princess agrees." Rong Qian cried.

Jiang Lingyue frowned slightly, "What are you talking about? Your Majesty is not an object, how can you return it?"

Rong Qian raised her head and looked at her with a face full of resentment, "I grew up with my cousin, we were childhood sweethearts.

I always thought that my cousin would marry me in the future.

But your appearance shattered all my fantasies!"

Jiang Lingyue shook her head helplessly. "How can you force love? If Xinghe wants to marry you, who can stop him?"

"I don't care! Princess Nine, if you really love His Majesty, you should think about him.

As the king of a country, he needs a woman who can help him stabilize his country, not a foreigner like you who already has a family." Rong Qian said excitedly.

Jiang Lingyue stood up and looked at Rong Qian irritably, "If you like Ye Xinghe, just go find him, why are you looking for me?"

Jiang Lingyue was too lazy to bother with Rong Qian anymore and turned around to leave.

Seeing this, Rong Qian hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes and begged, "Ninth Princess, I know you are of noble status, I dare not compete with you.

I only ask you to let my cousin marry me as his concubine. I just want to be by his side."

Jiang Lingyue broke free from her hand and said coldly: "This is between you and him. It has nothing to do with me."

At this time, Ye Xinghe's low voice came from the door of the bedroom, "Xiaoyue, what is it that has nothing to do with you?"

Hearing this, Rong Qian immediately stopped crying and looked at Ye Xinghe pitifully.

Ye Xinghe walked to Jiang Lingyue, held her in his arms, and said gently: "Xiaoyue is the only one in my heart. In this life, there will only be her."

Rong Qian's face was pale and her body was shaking.

Ye Xinghe looked at her and said in a cold tone: "Miss Rong, if you are okay, go back early.

Don't come to the palace without my permission from now on."

Rong Qian bit her lip, held back her tears, and stood up to say goodbye.

After Rong Qian left, Jiang Lingyue gently pushed Ye Xinghe away and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ye Xinghe stroked her face gently, "I'm worried that you've been wronged."

Jiang Lingyue's heart warmed up, "I won't be wronged. But you, I heard that you and Rong Qian were childhood sweethearts?"

Ye Xinghe frowned, "When I left Qingyang Country, I was already 20 years old, and she was only 5. She was just a child I held occasionally, how could we be childhood sweethearts?"

Jiang Lingyue nodded, "So that's how it is. I feel relieved then."

Ye Xinghe hugged her domineeringly, "No matter what happens, you are not allowed to push me to others."
