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

Li Qianqian was delighted to see the exquisite cosmetic gift box. A few days ago, when they visited the Prince of Zhan's mansion, Jingxue had given them some cosmetics as a return gift, but not like this. She stepped forward and accepted it herself, saying, "Thank you, cousin! Please have a seat. This is just a temporary place to stay, so there's nothing much to offer you!"

"It's alright, we just took some time to come and see you. It's not convenient for me to go to your brother's place! I'll send someone to bring him some food and supplies tomorrow." Jingxue said, pulling Jingze down to sit.

The maidservant Li Qianqian brought served them a pot of hot tea and then left.

“Cousin, Xiao Ze looks quite like Uncle!” Li Qianqian said, looking at Xiao Ze.

Jingxue was thinking to herself how to steer the conversation toward Li Jun! But this girl started talking about it all on her own.

"Really? I was sick before and don't remember a lot of things. Besides, even if I had met my uncle before, I was too young to remember clearly. Do they really look alike?"

Li Qianqian nodded, "It really looks like it, especially the eyes!"

"Oh, by the way, Uncle is married now, why doesn't he take Aunt with him when he goes out?" Jingxue asked with a gossipy look on her face.

Hearing this, Li Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then said, "After my uncle got married, he went out to do business a few days later. He only comes back once every two years, but each time he comes back he brings back a lot of money!"

"Oh! No wonder my aunt is dressed so elegantly!" Jingxue's expression showed that she had just realized what was going on.

Li Qianqian pouted, "It's not all our family's money. My aunt's family is also very wealthy."

"By the way, don't my uncle and his family have any children? If they did, their children would probably look a lot like Xiaoze."

Li Qianqian shook her head. "They don't have children. I remember hearing someone say that my aunt had taken a liking to my uncle a long time ago, but my uncle didn't agree. My grandmother didn't dare to urge my uncle too much either, because if she did, my uncle wouldn't come back for a long time."

"Later, my uncle got older, and my grandmother got angry and arranged a marriage for him directly, so he had to give in."

Hearing this, Jingxue laughed, "Could it be that Uncle has a crush on someone special?"

"What is a white moonlight?" Li Qianqian asked, not understanding.

"Oh! The white moonlight is someone you secretly like or can't forget in your heart."

Li Qianqian blinked. "I don't know. All I know is that my dad and grandma are very particular about marrying someone of equal social standing. My brother and I are tired of hearing about it."

Jingxue never understood why Li Jun, having already had a child with An'an's mother, didn't bring her home. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have both a son and a daughter? Was it because An'an's mother was of low status?

If the principal wife can't be the principal wife, can't she be a concubine? Anyway, the ancients didn't care about that.

“Your eldest uncle is very good! There are no concubines or anything like that in your household.” Jingxue asked the question that was on her mind in a roundabout way.

“I heard that my grandmother was a legitimate daughter who was bullied by a concubine when she was young, so she was very opposed to marrying a concubine. My grandfather did not marry a concubine, and neither did my father. My grandmother often said that she could not control other people’s families, but she could make decisions for her own family.”

Jingxue: I didn't realize that my maternal grandmother had such a strong personality. However, this only proves why Li Jun didn't bring An'an and her two children home. But who would burn An'an's mother to death and kidnap the two siblings?

Oh my god! Could it be my maternal grandmother?

"Then your two older sisters must have married very well!"

Li Qianqian nodded. "Yes! Both of my older sisters are legal wives, and neither of my brothers-in-law have taken concubines so far."

"This is truly rare!" Jingxue's words came from the bottom of her heart.

“It is indeed rare, but who can say what the future holds! Someone tried to arrange a marriage for me before, but my mother stipulated that she would not take a concubine, so the other party did not agree, and the marriage did not happen. But I am not in a hurry!” Li Qianqian swayed her body after speaking, still showing the straightforward nature of a little girl.

Jingxue quite liked Li Qianqian's personality after talking with her.

Then Li Qianqian continued, "Cousin, I heard you and Princess Kangping are at odds, and some people even say you were the one who tore down the wall around Princess Kangping's mansion? Is that true?"

Jingxue didn't hide anything, "It's true that we don't get along, but do you believe me if I said I knocked down the wall of her mansion?"

Li Qianqian shook her head. "I don't believe it! My aunt and I went to the county princess's mansion a couple of days ago. Although the courtyard wall had been repaired, it couldn't have been knocked down by one person. People from the capital really know how to spread rumors!"

"Are you and Princess Kangping on good terms?" Jingxue asked, remembering that both Li Qianqian and Princess Kangping came from Qingzhou.

"They weren't exactly close, but they were still relatives! Her aunt was her cousin, and they would run into each other at banquets and gatherings in Qingzhou, so at least they could maintain a superficial relationship. Many people proposed marriage to Sun Ruping when she was in Qingzhou, but she refused them all."

Jingxue scoffed but didn't say anything. However, Runyue, who was standing next to her, spoke up, "That Princess Kangping tricked An'an and Xiaoze into coming to her residence. She even slapped An'an's face and scraped Xiaoze's hand. I wasn't there at the time, but if I had, I would have broken their arms!"

"Oh! Really? Why would they do that?" Li Qianqian immediately looked at Xiao Ze.

"Because Princess Kangping wanted to become the Prince of War's concubine, and I said I didn't care, so Princess Xuanhui said I was not virtuous and ignorant, and we parted on bad terms. I never expected them to target Jingze. I injured Princess Kangping's wet nurse because she was the one who attacked the two children."

“No wonder, my aunt and I sent visiting cards to the Imperial Aunt’s residence, but they refused to see us!” Li Qianqian said.

Jingxue didn't want to talk about that, so she asked, "What kind of person is this aunt?"

"My aunt is alright! Her family is wealthy. When she got married, her dowry included more than a hundred tables, more than a dozen shops, and five or six estates of various sizes."

Jingxue laughed, "You silly girl, I asked her what kind of person she is?"

"He's a decent person to our family, anyway!" Li Qianqian didn't know how to express herself.

Jingxue felt that Li Qianqian was, after all, a sixteen-year-old girl, and even the most precocious people in ancient times had their limits.

Overall, I still gained something today.

"Qianqian, we came in a hurry today, and besides, some of the prince's friends are staying at Yichun Palace, so I won't invite you to have a meal there. If you need anything, just come to me. We'll head back now!" Jingxue said with a smile to the little girl.

"You're too kind, cousin!"

Jingxue stood up, and Jingze also said goodbye to Li Qianqian.

When they returned to Yichun Palace, Ye Muchen and the others were already drinking tea and chatting in the main hall.

As dinner was drawing to a close, Lu Zijing said that he had previously advised his father to have Jingxue examine his eye condition, but the old master Lu refused. This time, the Empress had also sent a message to his father, saying that Jingxue should definitely take a look, and the old master finally agreed.

Now that they are good friends, Jingxue naturally couldn't refuse. "Headmaster Lu, if we wait until the delegation leaves, it will probably be after the New Year. Why don't you have your father come to Yichun Palace in the next few days?"

"I'll take a look at him first. If he can be cured, he should be able to return home in about seven days. If not, then your father will have made a wasted trip."

Lu Zijing didn't expect Jingxue to be so agreeable. "Then I'll have someone inform Father that he'll come tomorrow afternoon! After all, he has classes in the morning."

“No problem!” Jingxue gave an OK sign as usual.
