The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

After the little myna bird was rescued, it became listless and stopped talking, which broke the hearts of the children.

"It's alright, let it rest for half a day!" Jingxue comforted the little ones.

For the first time, An'an said seriously to Runyue, "Runyue, this is no small matter. We must be careful in the future!"

"Okay! I got it." The key point of the leap month is to have a good attitude.

Jingxue was confident that the little myna wouldn't die, but she also wanted to use this to teach the children a lesson. She didn't say anything more, letting them figure it out themselves.

She had something on her mind. Yesterday, after returning from Lengyan Palace, she took some hair from An'an and Jingze and gave it to the robot nurse for a kinship test that evening.

The results would be available in as little as 24 hours, and Jingxue waited a long time that night before finally receiving them.

When Jingxue saw the words "After ruling out identical twins, close relatives, and external interference, the DNA test analysis supports the existence of a cousin relationship among the tested individuals," she was reminded of the first time she met An'an and Yingying.

I remember An'an once said that they took their mother's surname "Nan" and were kidnapped, and that his mother was even burned to death.

Who would target the mother and her two children?

Why didn't Uncle Li Jun bring the mother and her two children back to the Li family? It seems there's more to the story. I can't easily let the Li family suspect or recognize the two children.

At least until I figure out the reason, I can't let them recognize me. An'an and Jingze look too alike.

Thankfully, Li Guangxing looks like his aunt; otherwise, with the three brothers standing together, it would be hard not to suspect An'an's identity.

Jingxue didn't know when she fell asleep, nor did she think about when Ye Muchen would return to the capital today.

When Ye Muchen and the others returned, it was almost past 9 PM. He and Gao Chi did not go to the East Palace, but returned to the War King's Mansion.

The next day, after breakfast, Jingxue took Runyue to Chongjiao Hall in the East Palace, along with the former head maid and eunuch from Yichun Palace. The maid's name was Yun Cai, and the eunuch's name was Fu Lai.

Since they moved in yesterday, the meals have been prepared by Xiaoman and her maids and wet nurse; they haven't dared to use the palace maids and eunuchs from Yichun Palace.

In modern TV dramas and novels, food is one of the easiest ways to be exploited. For the safety of the children, Jingxue had prepared pots and pans before she arrived.

As for the ingredients brought back from the imperial kitchen, she symbolically took them back to the kitchen but didn't use them; instead, she used the ones in her spatial storage.

She had already told Xiaoman and the others about this yesterday.

She had originally planned to bring Jingze and An'an to broaden their horizons, but after thinking about it, she decided against it, and the shadow guards stayed at Yichun Palace as well.

Chongjiao Hall is where banquets are held in the Eastern Palace, so it can only hold this many people!

When they arrived, many tables and chairs had already been set up inside. According to Fu, these days they would listen to lectures by scholars in the morning and learn etiquette in the afternoon.

"You two go back!" Jingxue said.

Fu Lai and Yun Cai were clearly taken aback, but they still replied with a "Yes" and turned to leave.

After leaving Chongjiao Palace, Fu looked at Yun Cai and said, "Sister Yun Cai, is there something we did wrong in serving her? The Princess Consort of Zhan doesn't seem very satisfied with us."

Yun Cai politely clasped her hands together as she walked and said, "Fu Lai, if you don't want to stay in the East Palace, why don't you go find your godfather and ask him to put in a good word with your godfather to transfer you to another palace?"

Fu Lai pouted, "Sister Yun Cai, that's not what I meant. I just think that from yesterday until now, Princess Zhan hasn't let us even get close."

Seeing that there were few people on the road, Yun Cai stopped and said, "Why do you want to get close to Princess Zhan? Isn't it good that you don't have to serve her? Since we stayed in the East Palace, our lives have been quite leisurely, haven't they? We've only been transferred to help out a few times. Although the pay is a little less, we haven't been overworked!"

Fu Lai was speechless after Yun Cai's words, but he was very resentful. He was so young and he had to live a life where he could see the end from the beginning. Who could be willing to accept that?

His godfather and godfather both served in the imperial court. His godfather, Fuhai, was a favorite of the emperor. He would receive silver for delivering imperial edicts wherever he went, and some households even sent him gold and jewels.

But what's so good about him being a steward eunuch in the Eastern Palace? Usually, it's just him and Yun Cai and three others. This time, eight more eunuchs and maids were temporarily sent to them. Once the delegation leaves, they'll have to leave too.

He always felt this was an opportunity; if he met a master who would take a liking to him, he could leave the Eastern Palace.

He didn't want to wait until the Crown Prince moved in before he could get his chance. Even if the eldest prince was made Crown Prince, he was only a few months old. When would he be able to move in?

Inside the Chongjiao Hall, the seats were arranged on two sides, with a wide aisle in the middle. The children of noble families were already seated at the very back.

Just as Jingxue and Runyue sat down, they saw Qin Jing and Lu Zijing walk in. Behind Lu Zijing, a servant was carrying several books.

It seemed he really was there to give a lecture, and the two of them came over to greet Jingxue when they saw her.

"Sister-in-law, you moved in yesterday?" Qin Jing cupped his hands in greeting.

Lu Zijing also bowed and greeted the Princess Consort!

Jingxue nodded slightly. "We're all family, no need to be so polite! Yes, you moved in yesterday. Are you also staying in the East Palace?"

"Yes, Brother Lu, Prince Rui, and I are staying at Jingyang Palace. We just arrived this morning."

Jingxue nodded. "Oh, how's the academy going? Has construction started yet?"

"It started yesterday and everything is arranged, so don't worry, sister-in-law!" Qin Jing replied.

People began to enter, including Princess Jingyi, Princess Xuanhui, and Princess Kangping.

Jingxue wouldn't even greet these three people.

Qin Jing and Lu Zijing each found their seats and sat down.

Consort Li came with Princess Duan, and the eunuch led them to a seat next to Jingxue.

The two nodded slightly to Jingxue as a greeting.

Jingxue returned the greeting and then lowered her eyes to think about her own things. It wasn't until the current Grand Princess Ye Muyan came over to greet everyone that she raised her head.

Jingxue didn't have much contact with Ye Muyan, and Ye Muyan's presence wasn't very noticeable.

Jingxue knew that she had married the heir of the Marquis of Pingyang and had two children, and that was all.

Unexpectedly, after greeting everyone, Ye Muyan came to Jingxue's side and whispered to her, "Third Sister-in-law, I'd like to go to your palace tonight. I haven't been feeling well lately, could you take a look at me?"

"Oh, it's okay to take a look, but I'm not sure I can be of any help," Jingxue said softly.

"It's just a woman's problem, please help me, Third Sister-in-law!" Ye Muyan said, her face slightly flushed.

Jingxue smiled and said, "It's too formal to say 'please.' Come over tonight! I'll be waiting for you."

"Okay! Then I'll thank you in advance, Third Sister-in-law!" After saying that, Ye Muyan returned to her seat.

A little while later, a eunuch outside announced, "The Emperor has arrived!"
