"Junjun, I'll write a message and you can help me bring it to him."

Song Jinxiu picked up her pen: Tonight the stars are shining and tonight the wind is blowing, the painted building is to the west and the osmanthus hall is to the east. Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. I don’t know whether Su Lang will return to the capital at night.

Su Mo was picking at the bark of a tree in frustration when suddenly a familiar ball of yellow hair landed on the back of his hand. Reflexively, he quickly looked around for it.

"whispering sound"

Treasure-hunting rat Junjun rolled his eyes in a humane way, then pointed at the palace wall and handed the note to Su Mo.

Su Mo took a look and realized that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. The little girl will not be able to get out today, so he wrote a poem in reply: Tonight the stars and tonight the wind, the stars accompany me to the east of the willow tree. If the wind knew my lovesickness, it would pass through the palace and into the window lattice.

Song Jinxiu saw that the child was missing her, so she decided to write another poem to comfort him.

The wind blows through the window lattice, caressing my hair. You are the wind and I am the sand. Since we parted, I have recalled our meeting so many times in my dreams. Tonight, let's meet in my dreams, and tomorrow I will hold a jade cup for you.

Su Mo took a look and realized that the little girl missed him as much as he did. He was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

Then he wrote: If there is someone in the mountains, covered with lychee and wearing lady's vine. Exquisite dice are filled with red beans, and deep longing is adorned with stars. Little Ah Xiu, do you know?

Song Jinxiu quickly replied: I know, I know, your green collar is always in my heart. I watch the sky in the morning and the clouds in the evening. I miss you when I walk and when I sit.

Treasure Hunter Junjun: What kind of master is this? Just now he was afraid of being discovered and in danger, but now he is not afraid anymore?

Swish, swish, swish, how many times has it swished along the wall? Will it ever stop?

What if someone really finds out?

Humph! You prioritize beauty over affection!

The two of them went back and forth, enjoying themselves till midnight, when Su Mo was persuaded by Song Jinxiu to go back.

He went back to the barracks, carrying a stack of love poems in his arms, and he came and went in a hurry. Alas! Poor kid.

The next day, at noon, all the ladies outside the palace had entered the palace before Song Jinxiu finally arrived.

In the space, treasure-hunting rat Junjun was fast asleep, hugging a pile of Su Mo's love poems. He had been running around for half the night and was very tired.

It was a sunny day today. Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the square was divided in two by red gauze and a screen, with men still separated on the left and women on the right.

The female guests were crowded with ladies of high rank and noble birth, all dressed up in their best clothes, greeting each other, complimenting each other, and exchanging information.

There are no secrets in the palace. Yesterday, Princess Kangle stayed in the Spring Palace. It was as if she had grown wings and flew out of the imperial city overnight.

Even if the news was delayed, what we didn't know yesterday, we know today after being in the palace for so long.

"Hey! Have you heard? Princess Kangle has moved into the East Palace."

"I heard it, I heard it. I also heard that whoever Princess Kangle falls in love with will become the crown prince."

"Hey, I heard Princess Kangle is ready to draw lots..."

Therefore, as soon as Song Jinxiu showed up, all kinds of envious, jealous and hateful looks followed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Princess Kangle is so lucky that she can live in the Eastern Palace. I didn't expect that the Crown Prince hasn't been decided yet, but the Crown Princess has already been decided."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, keep your voice down! What nonsense are you talking about? This is the imperial palace. Discussing state affairs without permission is a capital offense."

"It's New Year's Day, don't scare me. Even though you didn't say it, you think so in your heart, right?"

"No, huh! I was just staying overnight with His Majesty. How did that become associated with the Crown Princess?"

Some of the noble ladies could not contain themselves and began to discuss in low voices.

Especially some young ladies who were eyeing the position of Crown Princess were so jealous that their teeth were itching.

Chen Yaer almost twisted her handkerchief to pieces before she managed to calm herself down and stop cursing.

What's so good about this little bitch? She actually caught the emperor's eye.

Crown Princess? Humph! If I were born a few years later, how could she have had her turn?

Princess Kangning never expected that when she woke up one day, she would find out that Song Jinxiu was mistakenly rumored to be the future Crown Princess.

Bah! The Crown Prince is nowhere to be seen, and she's still a Crown Princess. Why doesn't she become the Imperial Concubine?

She snorted coldly, "Humph! What do you know? You just talk nonsense."

Chen Yaer asked quickly, "Princess Kangning also lived in the palace yesterday, so of course she knows something. So, don't keep us in suspense. Tell me, why did Princess Kangle end up living in the East Palace?"

Princess Kangning sneered and said, "Yesterday, Princess Mingzhu and I were staying together, so naturally there wasn't enough space for so many people. She's just a little girl from another family, so she can't live in the harem, right? The emperor didn't want to tarnish his reputation, so he banished her to live in the Spring Palace."

"Oh, so you're being disliked? I thought His Majesty valued me."

"Ah! These people just have no self-awareness. Since there's no room in the palace, why don't they go home? It's really shameless for a woman to stay overnight outside casually."

"Exactly. Why are you still hanging around here? You're so shameless."

Song Jinxiu was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, but she was still a little confused when she heard these discussions.

How did she become the Crown Princess?

How can you be shameless again?

Are these women just too bored? Do they just not know how to talk except for gossip?

She really didn't want to talk to a bunch of gossips, so she prepared to go to the men's side. She would take this opportunity to talk to the Minister of Works Lu Qiaoshou and the Minister of Agriculture about the transformation of the curved plow.

After the Spring Festival, the earth comes back to life, so don’t miss the spring plowing.

Just as she was about to go around the screen, she was stopped.

"Princess Kangle, are you here alone? You can bring your family to the palace for the banquet today. Why isn't your mother here with you?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman whom she didn't recognize. Before Song Jinxiu could answer, a light laugh was heard.

"Haha, Madam Liu just arrived in the capital, so she doesn't know yet, right? Princess Kangle's mother is an abandoned woman who remarried, and she doesn't have any imperial decree, so how could she have the nerve to come here?"

The woman called Madam Liu was none other than the wife of Liu Nenggan, the governor of Kunzhou. Her husband owned the soybean oil processing plant in Songjia Village, and the state government took 40% of the profits.

Because of the money, the state government was able to implement various measures, such as promoting windmills, purchasing oxen, and improving people's livelihood.

Therefore, his performance evaluation this year is excellent, and he will be transferred to the capital after the New Year.

Madam Liu returned to Beijing in advance to make arrangements. She entered the palace today with her brother and sister-in-law, so as to take this opportunity to make more friends.

Princess Kangle was a fellow villager and a noble person to her, so she naturally came over to greet her when she saw her.

My husband said that when we arrive in the capital, we must prepare generous gifts and go to the palace to express our gratitude.

She had also heard what everyone was talking about just now. From the words of envy, jealousy and hatred from these people, she understood one thing, that is, His Majesty really valued Princess Kangle.

As long as His Majesty values me, what does other people's gossip matter? Besides, the noble ladies in the capital are always gossiping about other people's affairs. Today they talk about this, tomorrow they talk about that. Who knows when they will become the focus of gossip.

Whoever is not talked about behind his back, will not talk about others in front of them.

Let them talk about their own things and just live their own lives.

Madam Liu asked Song Jinxiu, "Hasn't Princess Kangle asked for a royal decree for Mother yet?"

Song Jinxiu nodded, "My mother is pregnant now, I want to wait until she gives birth safely before we talk about it."

To confer the title of First-Rank Lady, my mother had to go to the palace to express her gratitude. She was pregnant with twins and had difficulty moving around, so it would be better to wait until after she gave birth.
