After confirming that no one was behind her, Princess Qingning asked, "Sister Jiang, how did I do today?"

"Very good, not like your usual silly self," Jiang Chuwei said with a smile.

"Today, Her Majesty the Empress wants to give you a warning," Princess Qingning said in a low voice.

"What is the relationship between Prince Yu and the Crown Prince like normally?" Jiang Chuwei asked.

"The Crown Prince rarely goes out. Whenever I'm out, I run into the princes several times a month, but His Highness the Crown Prince is unfathomable. I haven't seen him for years."

"Never seen it before?"

"Yes, I haven't seen him for many years. To be honest, I didn't even know if he was alive or dead."

The two people were speaking in a way that only the other person could hear.

Are you sure?

"Um!"

"Doesn't the palace hold a banquet every year? Has the Crown Prince never attended one?"

"No, at least I haven't seen it," Princess Qingning said firmly. "I also asked my mother, and she told me not to meddle in other people's business."

My mother said that as long as I eat well and have fun, that's enough; knowing too much will shorten my life.

"Don't you go to the palace often? I've never seen anything there even when I do?" Jiang Chuwei asked.

"No, I don't go to the palace often either. The people in the palace are all cunning and scheming, and I don't like playing with them," said Princess Qingning.

Jiang Chuwei hummed in agreement and continued thinking about the Crown Prince.

The Empress is behaving very strangely today; she shouldn't harbor such malice towards me.

Is something the matter?

What exactly happened between Prince Yu and the Crown Prince?
