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

"Please don't look at me like that, okay? I'm not stupid. I know exactly what Xia Qingqian is thinking. I just think that instead of letting her plot against me where I can't see, it's better to have her in front of me every day so that I can detect any movement."

Jiang Wange felt that there was something wrong with the way Jiang Wanyi looked at her. After realizing what she meant, she immediately retorted.

Jiang Wanyi heard her explanation and nodded with a smile:

"Yes, yes, sister is the smartest."

Jiang Wange: .....That would be very boring.

Inside Ci'an Palace——

"You have been running to Fengming Palace these days, what have you gained?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Xia Qingqian with great dissatisfaction.

"My Queen Mother, Jiang Liangyuan has gradually let down her guard against me. Once she trusts me, I will find an opportunity to deal her a fatal blow."

"Are you really sure?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, obviously not quite believing what Xia Qingqian said and thought she was too confident.

"Please trust me, Queen Mother. Give me a chance. I will not let you down."

Xia Qingqian lowered her head and pleaded humbly.

The Queen Mother curled her lips and didn't want to say anything more:

"Okay, you can go down now. Remember, you only have one chance. If you miss it this time, I will ask the Xia family to send someone else to the palace. As for you, after you leave the palace, you should honestly find someone to marry and help the Xia family."

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, women in the family should serve the family. Even in marriage, they cannot make their own decisions, just like she did in the past.

Xia Qingqian felt very embarrassed when she heard the Queen Mother's words, but she did not dare to refute at all and retreated silently.

Rou'er didn't dare to say anything when she saw her young lady's eyes were red.

"Miss, don't take the Queen Mother's words to heart. Even if we fail in the end, the Master will never marry you off so easily..."

"Oh, I know my father better than you what kind of person he is. Once he loses his usefulness, he will discard me like a piece of trash. If my face cannot seduce Your Majesty, then I will use it to seduce others, whether I like it or not."

Xia Qingqian clenched her fists tightly, unable to conceal the anger in her eyes.

At least, the current emperor is talented and handsome, and is the most outstanding one within the Xia family's consideration. As for the others, they are not even within her consideration.

After seeing this, Rou'er said nothing and followed her silently.

Unconsciously, Xia Qingqian walked into the Imperial Garden again, and suddenly remembered the day when she was crying behind the rockery and was kidnapped by Jiang Wange.

If...if they were not enemies, they would definitely be able to become good friends.

Jiang Wange's temperament was very much to her liking. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, she would really want to befriend her, instead of being so hypocritical like she is now...

In Feiyun Palace, Concubine Chen couldn't sleep at night.

After seeing this, Feiyun became very worried about his master.

"My lady, if you are really worried about Prince Yong'an, why don't you ask His Majesty? His Majesty will definitely tell you."

As a personal maid who grew up with Concubine Chen and Xiahou Cong, Feiyun knew very well what happened between them, so she dared to say such words to Concubine Chen.

The Concubine Chen sighed. She also wanted to do so.

"Your Majesty has been worried about state affairs these days. How can I bother Your Majesty for my children's private affairs? Going there will only cause trouble for Your Majesty."

"Then your Majesty, go ask Jiang Liangyuan? Jiang Liangyuan stays with your Majesty every day, maybe she knows something."

Hearing Feiyun say this, Chen Fei was stunned. She had not thought of her before.

"But I heard that Jiang Liangyuan has been feeling unwell these days and has stayed indoors. Would it be inappropriate for me to visit her rashly?"

"Your Highness, I think you are just too cautious. You and Jiang Liangyuan got along well before, and you even asked me to send Jiang Liangyuan back to Xianfu Palace last time. After all, Your Highness has done you a favor to Jiang Liangyuan, so it's okay to ask. We can bring some high-quality ginseng supplements when we visit, so it won't be disrespectful."

Feiyun had thought of everything for Concubine Chen, and all she needed was for her queen to move to Fengming Palace.

After Feiyun's persuasion, Concubine Chen finally decided to go to Fengming Palace.

When Jiang Wange heard that Concubine Chen was coming, he was very surprised and quickly sent someone to invite her.

"I came to visit you suddenly. I'm sorry for being so abrupt. I hope Sister Jiang will forgive me."

"How could that be? I didn't even have the chance to thank Sister Chen Fei for what happened last time, so how could I blame her? Qianyue, have some tea—"

Jiang Wange smiled and pulled her to sit down.

Seeing Jiang Wange's enthusiasm, Concubine Chen felt a little relieved.

"Sister Jiang, are you feeling better? I brought you some wild ginseng and bird's nest, which are very good for your complexion. I hope Sister Jiang doesn't mind."

Concubine Chen signaled Feiyun to hand the thing over and opened it for Jiang Wange to take a look.

Jiang Wange took a look and found that the wild ginseng was very big and of very good quality. The Concubine Chen was really thoughtful.

"Thank you, Sister Chen Fei."

Jiang Wange glanced at Yu Jin, and Yu Jin put away the gift brought by Concubine Chen.

Seeing that Concubine Chen seemed to have something to say, she asked the palace maids to go outside to serve her.

"Sister Chen Fei, there is no one else here now, just speak up if you have anything to say."

Having stayed with Xiahou Xuan for a long time, her ability to read people's expressions became much more outstanding, and she could tell at a glance that Concubine Chen was hesitant to speak.

In response to this, Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly spoke:

"Sister Jiang, let me be frank. I heard that Prince Yong'an was assassinated and his injuries seemed to be quite serious. Have you heard His Majesty mention this matter?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wange was stunned at first, then reacted and smiled and comforted him:

"Don't worry, Sister Chenfei. 'Serious injuries' is just an excuse for the public. Prince Yong'an was only slightly injured and will recover after a period of rest. I think His Majesty forgot to tell Sister Chenfei, causing her to worry too much."

"really?"

There was a flash of joy in the eyes of the Concubine Chen.

"Really? If Sister Chen Fei doesn't believe it, ask His Majesty later. I estimate that His Majesty will come to Fengming Palace in half an hour."

Jiang Wange covered her mouth and chuckled. It was rare to see Concubine Chen looking so anxious and unstable.

The concubine was embarrassed for a moment, then explained:

"I... grew up with Your Majesty and Prince Yong'an, so I was very worried when I heard that he was injured. Now that you say this, I can rest assured and don't need to ask Your Majesty anymore."

"Well, I understand. Sister Chenfei, don't worry. I won't make random guesses. By the way, this is the cake someone sent me before. It is different from the cakes made by the imperial chef in the palace. Sister Chenfei, please try it."

The concubine nodded, then picked up a piece of cake and tasted it:

The pastry melts in your mouth without being dry and has a very unique taste.

"This pastry is really good. Where did Sister Jiang get it?" The Concubine Chen also praised the pastry.

"If you like it, please take some back. This is what Xia Qingqian made and sent to me. I have a poor appetite recently and it would be a waste to leave it alone. It would be better to give it to you."

When Concubine Chen heard that it was Xia Qingqian who sent it, she looked at her in surprise:

"How come you and Xia Qingqian are together? She even sent you cakes?"

"This is a long story. I'll talk to Sister Chenfei in detail when I have time."

The Concubine Chen understood that this meant that he didn't want to say it, and she understood.
