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

Princess Ye Muyan only brought her eldest son; her husband and youngest daughter did not come!

Three small dolls were left over, and they were given to the eldest princess's children during the leap month!

When the emperor saw Jingxue arrive, he was filled with unease, fearing that the girl would reveal the truth about the pardon in public. Therefore, the emperor dared not look in Jingxue's direction.

The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, has the Second Prince sent any news back?"

"I did receive a report from my second brother this morning. The drought is severe in the Central Plains. Tax grain from all the provinces in Jiangnan will probably have to be sent there. I'm afraid my second brother will have to work hard this time!"

“It is Mu Sen’s duty to share His Majesty’s burdens!” said the Consort Xian.

After hearing the emperor's words, Jingxue realized how severe the drought was.

The emperor then added, "Grain production in the north has also decreased, and the people... alas!"

The Empress Dowager, feeling sorry for her son, said, "Your Majesty, today is the first month after the Crown Prince's birth. Don't worry about those troublesome things. There will always be a way to overcome this difficulty. You must also take care of your health!"

The others echoed this sentiment and offered a few words of advice.

Jingxue looked at the Empress and said, "Sister-in-law, let me examine you and see how your incision is healing!"

"Very well!" The Empress agreed, rose, and curtsied to the Emperor. "Your Majesty, please excuse us, Xue'er and I!"

"Go! There's still plenty of time!" the emperor exhaled.

Runyue followed behind Jingxue and saw the Empress and the other woman enter the room. She turned around, stretched out her arms, and said with a serious expression, "No one is allowed to enter when my young lady is receiving medical treatment!"

Granny Qi, who was behind her, was stunned for a moment, then stood at the door without saying anything!

Jingxue: Yueyue, you are a very responsible goalkeeper!

Leap Month reached out and closed the door to the inner room!

Just then, the two princesses quietly approached. The elder princess whispered, "Leap Moon, have you learned how to represent 'ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand' yet?"

Leap Moon nodded, took out some pistachios from her small bag, then put them back after thinking for a moment!

"Miss said we can't just give you food!"

Granny Qi: Then why did you take it out? The Second Princess is quite the little foodie!

Sure enough, the second princess stared at Leap Month's little bag and licked her lips!

Having no other choice, Granny Qi said, "Miss Runyue, give this old servant one of your snacks. I'll try one first, and then you can give it to the two princesses. I see you still have quite a few in your little bag! Is that alright?"

Leap Moon nodded, took out a small handful of pistachios and placed them in Granny Qi's hand, "They need to be peeled!"

"I know!"

The second princess immediately sidled up to Granny Qi, looking at her expectantly. Granny Qi thought to herself, "Anyone who didn't know better would think someone was mistreating the second princess! But looking at her chubby little figure, you could tell she was a child who loved to eat!"

The eldest princess urged Runyue to answer her question quickly, and Runyue stretched out her chubby little hand and started writing on it!

As soon as Jingxue entered the bedroom, she saw the mirror on the dressing table and the cosmetics sold in her shop. She had originally planned to find an opportunity to give these to the Empress later. She had taken too many things when she went to the palace last time, and besides, the Empress was still in confinement at the time and it was not appropriate for her to wear makeup!

Now that others have it, she doesn't need to take it!

The Empress's incision has healed very well. Judging from her pulse, she is a little weak. Jingxue has also looked at the prescription given by the imperial physician and there is no problem.

"Your Majesty's sister-in-law, that's good! Just remember not to get pregnant for the next three years!"

The Empress was already dressed. "Remember this! Let's go! Don't keep everyone waiting!" The wet nurse also picked up the eldest prince.

Upon opening the door, one could see Granny Qi peeling pistachios for the Second Princess, while Runyue and the Eldest Princess were reciting multiplication tables.

Several more concubines arrived in the main hall, including Consort Li, who was wearing a very bright pink palace dress. The others were also dressed in flamboyant attire!

Today's full moon banquet is being held in Mingyang Palace, which is much larger than Yuhua Palace, given the large number of people attending today!

By this time, the Mingyang Palace was already filled with people. As the eunuch announced the emperor's name, everyone knelt down and bowed, shouting, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress Dowager!"

Jingxue sat next to the Second Princess and her son, while the Consort Xian sat on the other side of the Second Princess. Opposite them were the Duke of Ning and his wife, and the Duke of An and his wife were Qin Jing's parents. Qin Jing and another young man sat in the row behind the two couples respectively.

She nodded to Qin Jing, and just as Qin Jing was about to nod back, Ye Muchen shot her a sharp glare.

Qin Jing: What did he do to deserve this? This cousin of mine is getting more and more unpredictable!

Jingxue glanced around and saw the two imperial physicians who were treating the Empress. She recognized a few of them from the Ningguo Duke's birthday banquet, but didn't recognize the others.

The Second Princess Consort then turned to the side and said, "I heard that Princess Jingyi is ill!"

Jingxue: Whether she's sick or not is none of my business! Why are you being so annoying!

Seeing that Jingxue didn't react, the Second Princess smiled awkwardly!

Jingxue didn't want to know about other people's affairs; what she wanted to know most was when she would be rewarded. As a result, she was distracted and didn't pay attention to what the emperor was saying. She only heard the head eunuch Fuhai shout, "The Crown Prince's full moon banquet begins!"

The music of string and wind instruments began to play, and the palace maids started serving dishes one after another. In the middle of the venue, a group of dancers came up and began to dance, flicking their sleeves to the left and leaping to the right!

Jingxue...

Is that all? That shouldn't be the case!

She turned to look at Ye Muchen, but the scoundrel seemed oblivious, his eyes lowered as if he were lost in thought!

Jingxue looked at the emperor, who was handing the eldest prince in his arms to the empress!

Damn it! What kind of situation is this? She's not even in a hurry to level up today, so shouldn't she be getting this get-out-of-jail-free card right now?

Are we going to wait until the eldest prince ascends the throne to give it to him?

Jingxue's mood plummeted to rock bottom!

We waited and waited, but all we got was loneliness!

"Crack!" A clap of thunder sounded outside, startling everyone. The singing and dancing stopped, and the emperor asked, "Was that thunder?"

A guard at the door came in and reported, "Your Majesty, it's thundering! It looks like it's going to rain!"

At this moment, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau official stood up, walked to the center of the area, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, this is an auspicious sign! Last night, I observed the celestial phenomena and saw that a lucky star has descended upon our Northern Kingdom! It will surely ensure the prosperity of our Northern Kingdom!"

The implication is that this lucky star is none other than the eldest prince!

Jingxue was startled by the thunder; she thought it was coming to strike her! But then she remembered that the space system had just been upgraded, and there were still six months until the next upgrade!

The words of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau pleased many people, so the music and dancing continued!

Several daughters of officials even came up to perform music, but Jingxue didn't even lift her eyelids!

Ye Muchen had noticed Jingxue's low spirits long ago and knew that the girl was disappointed because she did not get the pardon. However, he really did not want to divorce her and even hoped that they could live together in love!

Almost all the court officials knew of Jingxue's formidable reputation, so no one dared to provoke her. And so, until the end of the banquet, Jingxue still hadn't obtained the pardon she desired!
