The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor

Xiahou Cong felt more and more guilty after being told this, and he no longer cared about teasing his royal brother and Jiang Liangyuan, and just ran away.

Watching Xiahou Cong leave, Xiahou Xuan sighed. He just hoped that the two of them would take it easy and not let the evil queen dowager find out, otherwise it would be difficult to end well.

On the other hand, Jiang Wanyi in the Wen Mansion was worried all day long, fearing that his affair with Jiang Wange would be exposed.

She and Wen Yilan met in Anhe County. She was attracted by Wen Yilan's elegance and erudition. When she learned that he was a doctor who cured diseases and saved lives, she fell in love with him uncontrollably.

When the imperial decree for the selection of concubines came down, Jiang Wanyi was very sad and went to ask her father for help. Her father agreed to help her solve the issue of entering the palace for the selection.

But what she didn't expect was that her father redeemed a beautiful woman from a brothel, adopted her as his adopted daughter, changed her name to Jiang Wange, and let Jiang Wange enter the palace for the selection in his place.

At first Jiang Wanyi couldn't bear it. The palace was a huge cage. She herself didn't want to go there. Would other women be willing to go there?

But Jiang Wange's attitude was very clear. It was Magistrate Jiang who brought her out of the brothel, so she had to repay the favor. Rather than having her jade arms rested on by thousands of men, she would rather go to the palace and serve the emperor alone.

Later, Jiang Wange entered the palace and lost contact with her family, while the relationship between Jiang Wanyi and Wen Yilan gradually warmed up. Wen Yilan wrote a letter and returned to the capital to propose marriage. The two got married in Anhe County.

After getting married, Jiang Wanyi said goodbye to his father and returned to Beijing with Wen Yilan. On the way back to Beijing, he learned that Wen Yilan had another identity, that is, the imperial physician in the palace, and that she and the emperor grew up together...

From then on, Jiang Wanyi couldn't sleep well every night, fearing that the truth would be exposed, especially when she heard Wen Yilan say that the emperor asked how many daughters her father had, Jiang Wanyi knew that the emperor should have known the truth of the matter, but for some reason he didn't pursue it.

"Madam, your husband is back!"

Hearing Wen Yilan's voice, Jiang Wanyi came back to his senses and stepped forward to take the cloak he had taken off.

"Husband, did your duty in the palace go smoothly today?"

"Well, everything is fine, but..."

"Just what?" Jiang Wanyi looked worried.

"It's nothing, I just discovered a little secret and can't tell my wife for the time being." Wen Yilan explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyi also smiled softly and said nothing more.

Wen Yilan discovered that his wife seemed to be very interested in Jiang Liangyuan, the most favored person in the palace, so she tried her best to tell her everything she knew about Jiang Liangyuan.

When Jiang Wanyi heard that Jiang Wange was very favored in the palace, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I think His Majesty didn't pursue the matter of "substituting a cat for a prince" because he liked Jiang Wange so much.

"By the way, madam, the Empress Dowager's birthday is in a month. As the wife of an official, you will have to go to the palace to attend the birthday banquet. You need to prepare gifts in advance. I don't understand all these twists and turns, so I have to trouble you, madam." Wen Yilan looked at Jiang Wanyi with great trust.

His wife is gentle, beautiful, graceful and elegant, a lady from a noble family. I think she should be quite particular about gift-giving.

"Don't worry, my husband. I will prepare a birthday gift for the Queen Mother."

Wouldn't she be able to meet Jiang Wange at the birthday banquet? Then she would have to find a chance to talk to her alone and ask her if she knew that His Majesty knew their identities.

In Xianfu Palace——

"Ah? How come the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet just ended and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is coming? Why are there so many banquets?"

Jiang Wange complained in a low voice, do they know how tiring it is for a useless person like him to attend the banquet?

"My lady, there are New Year's Eve banquets, Spring Flower Banquets, Summer Lotus Banquets, Mid-Autumn Banquets, the Queen Mother's Birthday Banquet, His Majesty's Birthday Banquet... There are seven or eight major banquets of various sizes. If His Majesty appoints a queen in the future, there will also be a birthday banquet for the queen. My lady must adapt in advance."

Yu Jin smiled and explained to Jiang Wange the various banquets in the palace. When Jiang Wange heard this, his eyes turned black and he wished he could die on the spot in front of them!

"Ah - being a concubine is so difficult." Jiang Wange couldn't help but sigh.

"My lady is only a concubine now. When you are promoted to the position of concubine, you can also hold a birthday banquet on your birthday, and you can also invite the wives of the ministers in the court to come to the palace to gather together."

"Ah, I don't want to. Birthday parties are very private things. I don't want to invite irrelevant people to attend." Jiang Wange curled his lips and said with disgust.

Yu Jin didn't say anything about this. It was the young lady's personal preference and it was up to her whether to hold a birthday party or not.

"What birthday gift do you think I should prepare for the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother hates me so much, I'm sure she'll find fault with anything I give her. I might as well just give her something random, since she won't like it anyway."

This way, you can save yourself some trouble.

Hearing Jiang Wange's words, Yu Jin and Yu Feng looked at each other and said nothing.

Qianyue quite agrees:

"I also think your idea is great. Rather than carefully preparing a gift and then being criticized by the Queen Mother, it is better not to have any expectations from the beginning."

"Yeah, I think this is great too. You are worthy of being my good Qianyue!"

"The young master is still smarter."

Hearing the master and servant singing the same tune, Yu Jin's eyes curved with smile.

They have served for so many years, but this is the first time they have seen their master getting along well with the palace maids.

Jiang Liangyuan is so unique, no wonder His Majesty has a special liking for her.

"By the way, Yufeng, thanks to you for saving me last time, I won't say anything false, I will just give you silver directly, nothing is more real than silver."

Jiang Wange said as he handed Yufeng a purse that was full of money, which made Yufeng flattered.

"It is my duty to protect the young lady. How dare I ask for a reward from the young lady!"

Yu Feng knelt down directly and said with some fear.

"Why are you kneeling to me? You have been by my side for more than a month, you should know my temper. Xianfu Palace doesn't have so many rules. You should just accept what I give you. It's a simple truth, isn't it?"

Jiang Wange glanced at Qianyue and motioned for Qianyue to help Yufeng up.

"Yufeng, the young master is very easy-going. It's just a little silver. You don't have to feel that you can't afford it. Follow my young master and be loyal to her. Good fortune is yet to come. If you accept the reward from the young master, she will feel more at ease when using you." Qianyue persuaded Yufeng with a smile.

After careful consideration, Yufeng took the purse carefully.

"Thank you for the reward, my lady."

Afterwards, Jiang Wange gave Yu Jin another jade hairpin.

"I think this hairpin goes well with your green dress and matches your skin tone."

Yu Jin looked at Jiang Wange in disbelief, "My lady, are you giving me a reward as well?"

"The word reward has too much class connotation. I prefer the word present. I can't use or wear all these gold and silver jewelry. I might as well give them to people around me." Jiang Wange said nonchalantly.

Anyway, it was given to her by Xiahou Xuan, so she didn't feel sorry about it.
