Chapter 110 Quarrel

This Jiang Zhaoyue!

Is Jiang Zhaoyue really stupid, or is he just pretending to be stupid?!

Although there are smart and stupid ladies among the noble ladies in Beijing, they can all sense the hidden meanings between each other without having to say anything explicitly.

The obvious sentence "How about I arrange two people for you to assist you so that you can serve the prince better" was known to everyone in the palace as it meant to fill the prince's harem with people.

But Jiang Zhaoyue thought like this... It was the first time the Queen met such a person, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Yan Manyi couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Crown Princess, what my aunt meant—"

Yan Zhiyi grabbed Yan Manyi's hand.

Yan Manyi turned to look at Yan Zhiyi: "Second cousin, what do you mean?"

Yan Zhiyi whispered, "My aunt and the Crown Princess are talking, please don't interrupt."

"You have to fight for your own happiness." Yan Manyi whispered.

Yan Zhiyi frowned.

Yan Manyi was about to speak again when she heard the Queen say, "Of course not much."

She looked at the Queen in surprise.

In front of so many people, if he fails to force someone in once, and tries again a second and third time, not only will the Yan family's daughter appear cheap, but Jiang Zhaoyue might really use her as a palace maid.

The Queen immediately forgot her purpose for the day and decided to take a long-term view. Following Jiang Zhaoyue's lead, she said, "It was my negligence that I forgot the East Palace was short of staff. I'll have the Internal Affairs Department assign you some smart and capable people."

"That's great! This way, someone will be able to assist my daughter-in-law and better serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Jiang Zhaoyue happily stood up and bowed to the Queen in a very respectful and proper manner: "Thank you, Mother."

The corner of the Queen's mouth twitched slightly. "This is what I should do. Please sit down, Crown Princess."

"Yes, mother." Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and sat down.

"You have never been in the palace before. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me." The queen said again.

"Yes, mother."

The Queen took one look at Jiang Zhaoyue's belly and said, "Have children for the royal family soon."

"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue nodded vigorously.

The Queen suddenly felt that she had touched Jiang Zhaoyue's heart, and she felt uncomfortable. She turned to look at Emperor Hong Qi and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. You can have dinner now."

Emperor Hong Qi nodded and said, "Since we have some free time, let's have dinner together."

The Queen and others responded together.

The palace ladies set the table.

Jiang Zhaoyue followed Pei Jingzhou and sat around the dinner table. Looking at the dazzling array of breakfast dishes on the table, she would have exclaimed in surprise if she were in Linhua Courtyard or the East Palace.

However, this is Shunning Palace.

She maintained a dignified appearance.

When Pei Jingzhou picked up his chopsticks, she picked up his chopsticks; when Pei Jingzhou put them down, she put them down.

Although Jiang Zhaoyue accidentally saved Princess Duojia and others and was awarded the title of Madam Xi and a good reputation, Yan Manyi and the Queen realized that Jiang Zhaoyue was an uneducated person.

They had been waiting for Jiang Zhaoyue to do some inappropriate things in front of Emperor Hong Qi, and then they could talk to Emperor Hong Qi openly or secretly.

As time went on, Emperor Hong Qi became dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law Jiang Zhaoyue, and then it became easier for them to deal with the problem.

But they didn't expect that Jiang Zhaoyue's every word and action from beginning to end was extremely in compliance with the rules. Not only could they not find any faults with her, but they couldn't take their eyes off her because she was beautiful, had a good figure, and her every move was pleasing to the eye.

Princess Duojia had witnessed Jiang Zhaoyue's rudeness, unreasonableness and lawlessness before, and was extremely surprised to see her being so well-behaved for the first time.

For the past ten days, Pei Jingzhou only knew that Jiang Zhaoyue was learning the palace rules with Nanny Yun. He didn't expect that she was so good at it, and he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Hong Qi, Concubine Hui and others felt more and more that the Crown Princess's previous bad reputation was a false accusation.

Jiang Zhaoyue still followed the rules steadily until the food was cleared away, she rinsed her mouth and drank tea. She received rewards from Emperor Hongqi and the Empress, and this visit was finally over.

She and Pei Jingzhou saluted the emperor and empress together, then walked out of Shunning Palace steadily. After walking for a while, she whispered, "Your Highness, is there anyone around?"

"Who is it?" Pei Jingzhou asked.

Jiang Zhaoyue looked ahead and whispered, "My father and mother's people."

Pei Jingzhou was puzzled: "Why are you asking this?"

Jiang Zhaoyue didn't explain: "Just answer, are there any of their people?"

Pei Jingzhou looked around: "No, what's wrong?"

Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Just in case, let's go back and talk about it."

Pei Jingzhou frowned.

As Jiang Zhaoyue followed Pei Jingzhou into the East Palace wing, she felt completely exhausted and collapsed onto the couch: "Oh my god, I'm so tired."

"Are you so tired?" Pei Jingzhou sat upright in front of Jiang Zhaoyue.

Jiang Zhaoyue was about to collapse into a puddle, and said weakly: "I'm tired, almost dead."

Pei Jingzhou smiled and said, "Then take a break."

Jiang Zhaoyue replied lazily: "Yeah."

Pei Jingzhou poured her a tea bowl of water: "Would you like some water?"

"I don't want to drink." Jiang Zhaoyue asked.

Pei Jingzhou asked, "Do you still have the energy to talk?"

"What's going on?" Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised.

"Didn't you say 'Let's talk about it when we get back'? What did you say?"

Jiang Zhaoyue said, "My dear mother, I am so tired."

Pei Jingzhou was stunned and asked, "That's it?"

Jiang Zhaoyue said: "That's it."

Pei Jingzhou's mouth twitched: "You just..."

"I originally wanted to relax after leaving Shunning Palace, but I was afraid that even if my father and mother didn't appear to be around, they might be there secretly. Once they find out that my dignity was all fake, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you?" Jiang Zhaoyue complained while lying on the pillow.

Pei Jingzhou was startled when he heard this, and a trace of sweetness emerged in his heart. The corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, and he asked softly: "So, you learned these palace rules for my face?"

"What else?" Jiang Zhaoyue closed his eyes and lay down to rest.

The sweetness in Pei Jingzhou's heart was about to overflow, and he fell on the soft couch with Jiang Zhaoyue.

But compared to Jiang Zhaoyue, who was lying on his stomach like he had no bones, he supported himself with his forearms, looking relaxed and noble. He looked at Jiang Zhaoyue's palm-sized fair face affectionately and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Zhaoyue added, "Thank you for your hard work."

Pei Jingzhou asked with a smile: "What do you want? I'll give it to you."

Jiang Zhaoyue opened her almond-shaped eyes and looked at Pei Jingzhou with sparkling eyes: "Really?"

Pei Jingzhou nodded gently: "Yes, but answer a question first."

Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and moved towards Pei Jingzhou: "You say."

Pei Jingzhou asked, "Did you understand what the Queen Mother said?"

Jiang Zhaoyue immediately understood what Pei Jingzhou was referring to, but still asked, "About taking a concubine for you?"

Pei Jingzhou understood: "So you understood it and deliberately misinterpreted it?"

"Yes." Jiang Zhaoyue confessed.

Pei Jingzhou was silent for a while, then asked, "Then how did you feel when you heard what your mother said?"

Jiang Zhaoyue asked back: "What feeling?"

Pei Jingzhou looked straight at Jiang Zhaoyue's expression and asked cautiously, "My mother wants to take a concubine for me. How do you feel?"

Jiang Zhaoyue said nonchalantly, "I don't feel anything."

"No feeling?" Pei Jingzhou's smile disappeared.

"Well, don't you men all have many wives and concubines?" Jiang Zhaoyue was mentally prepared.

Pei Jingzhou's face darkened. "I've said more than once that I won't take a concubine, I won't have a maid, I won't have a mistress, I won't visit brothels. Don't you believe me?"

Jiang Zhaoyue had his own reasons: "Back then, you were the Second Master Pei, so you could believe it, but now you are the Crown Prince of Dajin, how could you not have concubines or concubines?"

Pei Jingzhou suppressed his displeasure and said, "Just because I'm the Crown Prince of Jin doesn't mean I'm not Pei Jingzhou anymore?"

Jiang Zhaoyue affirmed: "Yes."

Pei Jingzhou sat up suddenly when he heard that.

Jiang Zhaoyue sat up as well.

Pei Jingzhou looked at her, suppressing his anger and asking, "Jiang Zhaoyue, what do you think of me?"

Jiang Zhaoyue replied: "Being a husband."

"With you—"

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, Miss Yan Er and Miss Yan San request to see you." Xiang Qiao appeared at this time.

"No!" Pei Jingzhou said angrily.
