The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

The next day.

When Jiang Lingyue woke up, the person beside her was gone.

Jinshu kept smiling as he helped her change clothes.

Jiang Lingyue wondered, "What are you happy about?"

"She, she's been like this since last night..."

Jin Yu, who was standing by, came closer with a smile and whispered a few words.

Jiang Lingyue's face flushed visibly, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Jinshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, we have our own people on guard."

Therefore, no matter how angry their girl was in scolding, no one would care except Eunuch Liu who felt sorry for his Majesty.

But then again, there was quite a lot of noise last night, and they were all in the side hall, so they could all hear it.

But despite such a big commotion, the masters didn't even call for water.

Jiang Lingyue naturally couldn't explain to them why she cursed, nor could she explain why she didn't ask for water.

She pursed her lips as she finished washing up.

The weather was beautiful today. I had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the Imperial Palace for a stroll when Dexi, who was guarding the outer palace, came in bent over and announced, "Your Majesty, Princess Huayang has arrived and is waiting in the outer palace."

Jiang Lingyue was stunned.

Huayang?

This eldest princess loved the hustle and bustle and found the palace too deserted, so she left the palace and opened her own princess residence as soon as she came of age.

On weekdays, he was surrounded by noble ladies from various families, and was either paraded through the streets on horseback or given various banquets.

The pleasure boats on the mountains, rivers and lakes, the open-air mats in the suburban fields, and the flower fields in the backyard of the inner house were all places where she entertained guests.

In other words, it can't fly into the sky, otherwise, I'm afraid it would have to go up and set up a few tables for a banquet.

The late queen died early, and the late emperor also passed away. Qi Junyi, the emperor's brother, is not the type of person who likes to lecture or make a big deal out of things. As long as his sister does not act overbearingly, he will never say a word.

One can imagine how happy and carefree Princess Huayang's life was.

It is no exaggeration to say that she is the most noble and free-spirited lady in Kyoto.

But why is she here?

Her brother's harem was deserted and there wasn't even an imperial sister-in-law to whom she needed to pay proper respects.

In her previous life, this precious princess had never set foot in her palace.

Puzzled, Jiang Lingyue did not hesitate and immediately stood up, "Hurry and invite the person in."

Having said that, she walked out herself.

After going down a few palace steps, I saw someone.

Princess Huayang walked over and bowed slightly, "Greetings, Imperial Sister-in-law."

As Jiang Lingyue is the only one in the harem now, she deserves this gift.

She accepted the gift without avoiding it, extended her hand to support him, and said with a smile, "You are so polite, Princess."

The weather is nice today, and the autumn sun is warm.

Jiang Lingyue ordered the servants to bring a small round table to the courtyard, put a few plates of tea and fruit on it, and boil tea directly around the stove.

In the past, when drinking tea with His Majesty the Emperor, Jiang Lingyue was only responsible for drinking.

And now, the person who fiddled with the tea set became her.

Reaching out to pour a cup of hot tea for the person opposite, Jiang Lingyue smiled and said, "Princess, why are you here today?"

She asked directly, but it was obvious that Princess Huayang was also a lively and straightforward person.

Hearing this, instead of feeling offended, he smiled and said, "I feel like I'm compatible with my sister-in-law. I have nothing to do today, so I wanted to come to the palace to talk to you."

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, her eyes brightening, "Sister-in-law really has a lot of good things here."

The clouds, mountains, rain and fog in Xizhou have the effect of calming the mind, improving eyesight and refreshing the brain.

A very healthy thing.

It was picked in early autumn every year, but not much could be harvested in a year. All of it was brought into the palace and was priceless outside.

And it's obvious that this one was sent to the palace this year.

Jiang Lingyue also took a sip and said nonchalantly, "If the princess likes it, take a can back with you when you leave."

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Huayang thanked her with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."

As a legitimate princess, of course she doesn't need a sip of tea.

Doing this can be considered an alternative way to build closer relationships.

Doesn’t the interaction between people start with mutual friendship?

Even though Jiang Lingyue wanted to keep her distance from the princess because of her memories from her previous life, her affection for her doubled when she saw her like this.

No one dislikes a girl who is generous, straightforward and frank.

After a few sips of tea, the relationship between the aunt and the sister-in-law became closer.

Princess Huayang looked around the courtyard and her eyes fell on Jiang Lingyue's face, staring at her intently.

Jiang Lingyue was stunned by the look in her eyes. She reached out and touched her face. "But I don't look good?"

She rarely wears makeup when she's not going out.

I thought she attracted attention because she was wearing no makeup, but unexpectedly Huayang just kept shaking his head.

"Sister-in-law has a rosy complexion and looks very beautiful," she said with a smile, her bright eyes wide open. "I just want to take a closer look at what the girl my royal brother likes looks like."

"..." Jiang Lingyue was speechless and raised her hand to refill her cup. "Don't make fun of me."

"I dare not tease my sister-in-law. Although there is a significant age difference between my brother and me, I do know him quite well," Princess Huayang said with a chuckle. "My brother is always aloof and unpopular. I've never seen him treat a girl this well."

As she spoke, she moved closer and whispered, "My brother's aura is terrifying. I've never been afraid of my father, not even my father, but of him. The concubines in the harem are also afraid of him. Are you afraid, sister-in-law?"

……Afraid?

Jiang Lingyue was stunned again, thought for a few breaths, slowly shook her head, and said frankly: "I've never been afraid."

If she really had to say she was afraid, it was only at the beginning of her previous life, when she regarded him as a king and father, with both respect and fear.

But at that time, respect was greater than fear.

Later, awe turned into love.

Even respect has disappeared, let alone fear.

Even if such a big secret as her rebirth was discovered, she thought the worst outcome would be that she would fall out of favor for a while.

I never thought that my life would be in danger.

Because she had seen him worrying about her illness and unable to sleep at night.

So, subconsciously, she never worried that he would be willing to harm her life.

It was just that she was blinded by one thing before and didn't see through this.

And now, the underlying truth is revealed by just a few brief sentences of conversation.

Jiang Lingyue was shocked to realize that she had never been afraid of Qi Junyi, the real emperor.

Even his younger sister is afraid of him.

And she won't.

Not at all.

Princess Huayang was not surprised by this answer. Her eyes were filled with envy. "Looking at my brother, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be more cruel than you. You really shouldn't be afraid."

As she spoke, she became distressed again: "Even someone as aloof as my royal brother can find his own good marriage, so there's no reason why I can't."

She is pretty and charming, and at the perfect age.

She is also the precious eldest princess.

Logically speaking, that wooden lump shouldn't...

The little princess over there was trapped in love, and when Jiang Lingyue heard her words, her heart skipped a beat.

Just as he was about to take a breath, he heard the little princess beside him blushing and calling "sister-in-law," "How did you and your brother understand each other's feelings?"

This……

Jiang Lingyue was silent.

This question hits the nail on the head.

But could she say that she only understood after both of them died once?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Princess Huayang blushed and whispered, "To be honest, sister-in-law, I... I like the young master of the Chen family, but I don't know if he is interested in me as well."

"Everyone says you're good at controlling your husband and that you've already conquered my brother," she said, her face flushed with embarrassment, her voice growing quieter. "Why don't you teach me a few tricks so I can conquer Chen Ziwei too? Let's see if he dares to keep a cold face and ignore me every day."
