Princess Huaining sat in the Empress Dowager's palace until sunset, and finally got up to leave.

"I was about to leave, so I took the person back with me. Your Majesty, please have a good rest."

The Queen Mother did not stop him. She just waved her hand, closed her eyes and said nothing.

Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief and followed the princess's sedan chair out of the palace.

There are eunuchs waiting outside.

"Greetings, Princess. The Queen wants to meet Concubine Jiang. What do you think..."

Princess Huaining did not stop him and looked at Jiang Nian: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you at the two gates outside the Queen's Palace."

Jiang Nian bowed and followed the eunuch.

When he entered the Queen's palace, he did not see the Queen, but instead saw the virtuous concubine.

Just as Jiang Nian was about to bow, Concubine Xian quickly helped him up.

"No need to be so polite. I called you here today under the guise of the Queen, just to talk to you."

"You're welcome, my lady."

Seeing Jiang Nian's expression, Concubine Xian was very satisfied. She said gently, "It's been a while since you married Prince Yan. I just wanted to ask, is Prince Yan treating you well?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. His Highness treats me very well."

The virtuous concubine sighed, "This child has a stubborn temper, can't speak, and doesn't know how to be gentle with women, but he's not a bad person. He's been leading troops outside for years and has never been around women. If he really does something to make you angry, you should...be more tolerant of him."

Because Consort Xian was the Prince of Yan's aunt, and the Empress was not close to her son, Jiang Nian didn't think it was a big deal and immediately responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. If His Highness the Prince of Yan treats me well, I will naturally treat him well."

The virtuous concubine smiled with relief: "If you live a good life, the Queen and I will be relieved."

The two sat and talked for a while. A palace servant came in and whispered something in Concubine Xian's ear. Concubine Xian's face changed slightly and she looked at Jiang Nian, "It's getting late. You should go back first."

Jiang Nian got on Princess Huaining's carriage and after passing through several gates, he encountered a road block again.

I didn't dare go to the Empress Dowager's palace to urge her, so I could only wait here.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Princess Huaining gently lifted the carriage curtain, and the maid quickly saluted: "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine has sent this servant to fetch Concubine Jiang."

"What's the matter?"

"The Queen has invited a nanny to teach the concubine some etiquette."

Princess Huaining lowered the carriage curtain and said calmly, "I'll take the person away. Tell Concubine Chen that there's no need to learn the rules."

"But... this is the order of the Imperial Concubine..."

"Why, Concubine Chen is the most powerful in this palace, and she even wants to control me?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. My queen has been ordered to manage the affairs of the harem. Please don't make things difficult for me, Your Highness."

"How dare you!" Princess Huaining shouted angrily, "A mere imperial concubine thinks you can ride roughshod over me? I'm going to go talk to His Majesty and ask him if I have to bow when I see an imperial concubine in the future."

The nanny was so frightened that she knelt down immediately.

Your Majesty is kind and respectful to your aunt as if she were your own mother. Princess Huaining has everything that the Empress Dowager has.

His Majesty once said that meeting the princess was like seeing him in person.

Asking Princess Huaining to perform the ceremony is the same as asking His Majesty to perform the ceremony.

"Princess, please forgive me. I said something wrong. Please forgive me, Princess, please forgive me..."

"Slap yourself in the face until you can't hit anymore."

"Yes."

There was a sound of slapping outside. Jiang Nian sat next to Princess Huaining and whispered, "Thank you, Princess."

Princess Huaining leaned lazily in the carriage and said softly, "No need to thank me, someone has already thanked me."

Jiang Nian was confused for a moment, but then he understood.

"He is him, I am me, but I still have to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Jiang Nian was surprised that Prince Yan and Princess Huaining were also connected.

Princess Huaining is your Majesty's aunt and the great-aunt of Prince Yan, but Princess Huaining has always been very cold towards these younger generations and has little contact with them.

The last time Jiang Nian mentioned this, King Yan didn't react much. He thought the two had nothing in common.

"How is your mother doing?"

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. Everything is fine. Mother also said that she will come to see you when she feels better."

Princess Huaining smiled and said, "That's not necessary. If she's not feeling well, she should just rest. Winter is coming soon, so she'd better not go out. Come talk to me when she's better."

"Yes."

When they reached the palace gate, someone outside announced, "Your Highness, a carriage is coming."

"Okay, someone is here to pick you up, go back."

Jiang Nian bowed and jumped out of the car, and saw Prince Yan standing beside the carriage not far away, waiting for her motionlessly.

Jiang Nian hurried over and asked, "Why are you here?"

The King of Yan bowed to Princess Huaining and took her into the carriage.

"I heard that you entered the palace, so I asked Princess Huaining for help." Prince Yan answered her question.

The deputy general's voice came from outside: "Madam, what should we do with the two women?"

Without waiting for King Yan to speak, Jiang Nian said, "Take it with you."

"Where did this woman come from?"

Jiang Nian smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll tell His Highness when I get back."

"But...if I leave like this, what will happen to Princess Anle?"

"She's fine."

Leaning on Prince Yan's shoulder, she said aggrievedly, "Then...what if Concubine Chen gives me trouble again?"

Prince Yan held her in his arms, bit her earlobe, and whispered, "Don't worry, she won't look for you again."

Jiang Nian put his arm around his neck, very satisfied: "That's good enough. Concubine Chen obviously has something against me. If I fall into her hands, it will be really over."

"It was my negligence today."

"Okay, it's not your fault. By the way, didn't you say last time that you had no dealings with Princess Huaining? How can you be so sure that the princess will help you?"

The King of Yan said, "It's not that we haven't had any contact, it's just that others don't know about it."

Others don’t know...that means we can communicate secretly, but who can we protect ourselves from?

"Then isn't it revealed today?"

"It's okay, there's no need to hide it anymore."

......

When they returned to the mansion, the two women were brought in. Jiang Nian handed them over directly to Prince Yan. "I have brought them here. Your Highness, please take care of them. These are all for you. I will not be responsible for them anymore."

The Queen Mother is worried about this, but she can't leave all the things to her, so she doesn't want to take care of this mess.

Anyway, she brought the people with her according to the Queen Mother's instructions. They are now people from the palace. The entire palace is under the control of Prince Yan, so these two people must naturally be arranged by Prince Yan.

If the time comes and he is satisfied or not, let the King of Yan explain it himself.

But the Prince of Yan was a man of swift and decisive action. Before she could finish her words, he disappeared with his men.

On the other side, Concubine Xian came out of the Queen's Palace and returned to her own residence.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the man standing in the hall with his back to her. Her face instantly turned cold, "What are you doing here?"

Emperor Jianning turned around and looked at her with an infatuated look in his eyes.

It's still the same as it was back then, nothing has changed after all these years...
