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

Two luminous pearls the size of pigeon eggs were placed on the wall of the secret room. Prime Minister Zou was not inside. Various jade ornaments were placed on the multi-treasure cabinet in the secret room.

Jingxue was worried that the jade pieces might have markings, and besides, Duobao Mall didn't accept antiques, so she put all the boxes that were placed against the wall into her spatial storage.

The boxes were full of gold and silver jewelry. Jingxue counted them; there were more than 20 boxes of various sizes.

After doing all this, Jingxue left quickly without lingering.

Jingxue did this because she felt that most of the wealth buried underground was ill-gotten gains, and even if they discovered it was missing, they wouldn't dare to make a fuss.

Unfortunately, that old fellow Hu Yucheng didn't manage to get any money from his family.

When Jingxue returned to the Prince's Mansion, the gate was not locked, which meant that Ye Muchen had not yet returned.

Back at Jingning Garden, Jingxue saw that only An'an's room was still lit. Now that there were more servants, Jingxue also arranged a servant for An'an.

"Miss, you're back!" Xiaoman and Lichun were waiting for her.

"Hmm! Are Runyue and Yingying asleep?"

"She's asleep, Miss. Shall I go prepare some hot water for your bath?" Lichun asked.

“Okay!” Jingxue handed the clothes she had taken off to Xiaoman.

"Xiaoman, I'm going to the palace tomorrow. Come with me! Maybe we'll get to see your parents. Let's not bring Jingze this time. I'm afraid he'll be disappointed if we don't see them!" Jingxue said to Xiaoman after Lichun left.

“Miss, as long as the prince and the others are safe, it doesn’t matter if they don’t see each other. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Jingxue patted Xiaoman on the shoulder, knowing that she was sensible.

After her bath, Xiaoman helped her dry her hair. The hair dryer was one of the solar-powered ones they had during the days when the greenhouses were being built on the farm.

If it runs out of power, place it in a sunny spot, and it will be fully charged in an hour, lasting a long time.

Jingxue prepared one for each room in both courtyards.

That girl from the leap month messed up one of the electricity meters on the very first day. For the past three days, Xiaoman has been constantly instructing the servants in both courtyards not to ask questions about things they've never seen before, and even more so, not to discuss them in private.

Xiaoman lowered the curtain, turned off the light, and went out.

Jingxue entered the space wearing a loose bathrobe and checked the things that had been brought in that evening.

The things in Li Wenqing's house were nothing special; they were just ordinary jewelry and gold.

The things in Prime Minister Zou's house were extraordinary. Two large chests were filled with all kinds of rare treasures, and the rest were gold and silver ingots, mostly gold.

The last time the Empress Dowager gave her pearls, the Prime Minister Zou's family had half a box of them, which must have weighed at least fifty or sixty pounds.

Jingxue would never believe that this was passed down from Prime Minister Zou's family. An official's salary would not exceed five thousand taels a year. Even if they had their own business, they would not have that much, let alone keep it in a secret room.

So, this isn't the right way!

With these supplies, Jingxue planned to provide the army with more food, free of charge!

Yesterday, Qin Jing gave her 10,000 taels of silver notes, which she accepted. The cost of the grain and potatoes was more than 10,000 taels, but she only accepted 10,000 taels.

After placing these items on a separate shelf, Jingxue began browsing Duobao Mall.

These past two days, several items have appeared on Duobao Mall that have left Jingxue both amused and exasperated. They are all outdoor gear: backpacks, tents, binoculars, and a famous household appliance: a flashlight!

Is this intended for her to run away with?

But in this situation, where can she run to?

What happened in court that day made Jingxue hesitant to bring out these new things anymore. It wasn't that she was afraid of anything else, but she was afraid of trouble, too lazy to explain, and even less willing to let Qin Jing rack his brains to make up stories.

As Jingxue scrolled through the mouse, she was surprised to find a Polaroid camera! Two taels of silver each.

Wow! You're opening a photo studio?

However, opening a photo studio with an instant camera would be a bit too expensive!

Let's give Qin a "big vest" first!

The next day, after breakfast, Jingxue called Jingze to her side.

"Xiao Ze, your elder sister is going to the palace today to inquire about Father and Mother's situation, so she won't be taking you with her. After your elder sister has found out and received permission, she will take you to the palace next time, okay?"

Upon hearing Jingxue's words, Jingze's eyes welled up with tears, but he wiped them away with his hand and said, "Elder sister, I'll listen to you."

Looking at this sensible child, Jingxue felt a pang of sadness. She pretended to take a Polaroid camera out of the box and said, "Xiaoze, this is for taking pictures. It can capture your image. I'll ask someone to send it to your father and mother so they can see you when they miss you."

Jingze looked at the Polaroid camera in Jingxue's hand and said, "Elder sister, could you take a picture of Father and Mother too? I can look at them when I miss them!"

"Xiao Ze, your mother is pregnant, it's best not to take pictures!"

"Oh!"

Jingxue straightened his clothes and hair, and pinched his little face. "Stand still, your older sister will take a picture of you, and then teach you how to take pictures. This is for you, okay!"

He was still just a child, and when he heard that Jingxue was going to give him the Polaroid camera, a smile appeared on his face. Jingxue seized the opportunity and took a picture of him.

When Jingze saw the automatically generated photo and his reflection, he was overjoyed! He kept saying, "Elder sister, teach me, teach me!"

Jingze quickly learned how to use a Polaroid camera. Jingxue wrapped the photos she had taken in paper and said, "Alright, you stay home and behave yourself. Your elder sister has gone to the palace."

"Ze'er is waiting for his elder sister to come back." Jingze had become quite fond of the Polaroid camera. After Jingxue took Xiaoman out, he hurriedly went to find An'an and the others.

Upon entering the palace again, Jingxue felt conflicted, as her parents, the parents of this body, were imprisoned there.

It's too difficult to rescue them openly and honestly!

But if they don't come out, she can't leave the capital. Her family's safety is the original owner's obsession and her responsibility!

Upon arriving at Fengqi Palace, the concubines from various palaces and the two princesses were paying their respects to the Empress.

When they saw Princess Zhan again, the expressions on their faces varied, some gloating and others showing sympathy.

After exchanging greetings, the Empress offered Jingxue a seat. As soon as Jingxue sat down, the Second Princess sidled up to her, asking, "Auntie, why didn't you come during the leap month?"

Granny Qi quickly came over and said, "Your Highness, you don't know, last time when the First Prince celebrated his one-month birthday, the Second Princess kept saying how delicious those pistachios were, but I couldn't find any even after sending people out to buy them."

There were many people around today, and Jingxue didn't want to cause trouble, so she said to the Second Princess, "I got those pistachios by chance. If I get any more in the future, I'll definitely save them for you, okay?"

The second princess stared at the package Xiaoman was carrying with her big, round eyes, nodded, and said, "Okay!"

The Empress said helplessly, "That girl is just too cunning!"

"It's normal! She's just a child!" Jingxue gently touched the second princess's chubby face.

"Everyone knows that Her Highness the Princess Consort has been in a bad mood lately, and probably hasn't been in the mood to manage her business. I heard that your grain shop has been closed for several days!" It was Consort Fang who spoke.
