Chapter 27 Transition

After hearing what the imperial concubine said, Xuanyuan Qing imagined in his mind how to use Nangong Jing to find out about Xuanyuan Leng and then bring Xuanyuan Leng down in one fell swoop. He could laugh out loud just thinking about it.

But Xuanyuan Qing soon calmed down and said with a frown, "How can we win over Nangong Jing? The Queen and Xuanyuan Leng are not fools. It is impossible for them to watch us win over Nangong Jing."

"Nangong Jing is only five years old now. He doesn't know what loyalty is. As long as we care about him and take good care of him and give him some good things, we don't have to worry that he won't remember our kindness. If it doesn't work, we can find a way to plant a few people in Zhaoyang Palace, transfer them to Nangong Jing, and then say bad things about the prince and Xuanyuan Xingyao without leaving any trace. With time accumulating, we don't have to worry that Nangong Jing will be biased towards us." The imperial concubine said with a relaxed look on her face, not worried at all that she would not be able to win over Nangong Jing.

"Mother, your opinion is profound." Xuanyuan Xi looked at the Imperial Concubine with shining eyes full of admiration. From childhood to adulthood, the person Xuanyuan Xi admired the Imperial Concubine the most was her, because she was very smart and rarely failed to do anything she wanted to do.

The Imperial Concubine and Xuanyuan Xi were thinking about how to win over Nangong Jing, and the Queen and Xuanyuan Leng had the same idea.

The Queen was already very satisfied with Nangong Jing. Although he was born a concubine, he was still the son of the Duke. Moreover, the Queen knew about the relationship between Nangong Jing's biological mother and Nangong Tao, even if others did not know about it. Therefore, the Queen never thought that Nangong Tao would really not care about Nangong Jing. The Queen was also a master of palace fighting since childhood, so she naturally understood why Nangong Tao had ignored Nangong Jing before.

Nangong Jing became Xuanyuan Xingyao's study partner. Even if Nangong Tao didn't immediately side with the Second Prince, he certainly wouldn't. This was already very satisfying to the Queen and the Crown Prince. Of course, they were even more satisfied with Nangong Jing's qualifications. If he was trained well, he would become a powerful figure in the future. However, they didn't expect that Nangong Jing, who had already made them very satisfied, would give them such a big surprise.

"Mother, it's been a few days since my seventh brother's two companions came to the palace, but we haven't met them yet." Xuanyuan Leng glanced at the queen sitting in the main seat and said with a faint smile.

The Queen naturally understood what Xuanyuan Leng meant. She nodded with great joy and said, "Indeed, it's just that I've been so busy these past few days that I even forgot to meet Xingyao's tutor. I met your tutor on the first day he entered the palace. It seems like I should set a time to meet him sooner rather than later, otherwise Xingyao will accuse me of being partial, hahaha."

Xuanyuan Leng couldn't imagine Xuanyuan Xingyao acting coquettishly to the Queen and saying that the Queen was partial. Although he knew that the Queen said that on purpose, Xuanyuan Leng still couldn't help but shudder and dared not think about it.

"Then let's do it tonight. Let's call Qi Ling and the others as well. It will be more lively with more people." Xuanyuan Leng said after thinking for a while.

Ever since Xuanyuan Leng became the crown prince, the queen no longer made decisions for him as she did before. Instead, she let Xuanyuan Leng make decisions, whether they were right or wrong. The queen would only speak out to remind him if the mistakes were really outrageous.

This time was no different. Since Xuanyuan Leng had already made his decision, the Queen naturally wouldn't object and directly agreed, "Okay. I'll go to Zhaoyang Palace to summon him shortly."

"Mother, as far as I know, Young Master Nangong and my seventh brother both prefer sweet and sour food. Please ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a few more sweet and sour dishes tonight." Xuanyuan Leng reminded.

The queen was a little surprised. She originally thought that it was rare enough for a boy like Xuanyuan Xingyao to like sweet and sour food. She didn't expect that Nangong Jing's taste was the same as Xuanyuan Xingyao's. But it was good that they were the same, so she knew what dishes to prepare.

When Nangong Jing received the Queen's oral order, he was a little surprised but also understood a little. After respectfully accepting the order and expressing his gratitude, Nangong Jing began to take out all the clothes he had brought into the palace and began to look for clothes to wear in the evening.

Fortunately, when Nangong Jing entered the palace, Nangong Tao was worried that if she didn't dress well at the palace banquets, she would be laughed at, so he specially prepared several sets of gorgeous new clothes for Nangong Jing. Nangong Jing only needed to choose the one she liked.

Nangong Jing quickly picked out a set of clothes that satisfied him. Because the clothes were rather complicated, Nangong Jing asked the eunuch who was in charge of serving him to help him put them on. As for the palace maids, although Nangong Jing was still young and had not yet reached the age of strict separation between men and women, his soul state was not in that state. Nangong Jing, a twenty-something adult soul, was somewhat unable to accept being served by teenage girls.

Therefore, after entering the palace, although Nangong Jing also retained maids to serve him, the eunuchs were generally the ones who served him personally, which made the maid feel a lot of grievances. In other places, eunuchs were responsible for running errands, while the maids did the light waiting work, and as a result, they were the ones who rebelled against the others. However, the maids did not dare to say anything, even if they felt wronged. No matter how much they ran errands, they were still working in Zhaoyang Palace. Moreover, Nangong Jing was very easy to serve and would not easily get angry. In this palace where human life was worthless, Nangong Jing was already a very good master.
