Inside the courtyard, Zhao Lianyan watched the three of them frolicking, clenching her fists and grinding her teeth.
All of this should have been hers!
It's all Su Liangdi's and Sang Jiang's fault!
If Sang Jiang and Su Liangdi hadn't gotten so close, how could Nangong Jin have been running to her courtyard every day?
She was so good to her, she was resentful!
Zhao Lianyan stared grimly in the direction the group had left. She wanted to use her son to gain status? Impossible!
As long as Zhao Lianyan is around, this kind of thing will never happen.
She lowered her eyes slightly: "Go and deliver the ginseng that Father gave me a few days ago to Consort Su."
Caiyun nodded: "This servant understands."
...
Sang Jiang fell asleep in the carriage because she had gotten up early and the carriage was swaying along. When she woke up again, she found herself in a soft bed. She was so startled that she sat up quickly.
Seeing her get up, Chunhe walked over to her side: "Princess, you're awake?"
Sang Jiang felt slightly relieved when she saw her: "Hmm, where is this?"
She looked around at the surroundings. The room was very large, much larger than the one in the Crown Prince's residence, and the furniture and other items all looked new, as if it had just been renovated.
Chunhe smiled at her: "Princess, this is Mingyue Palace."
“Mingyue Palace?” Sang Jiang frowned, only then realizing what was going on.
Chunhe: "Yes, when we arrived, His Highness saw that you were asleep and didn't have the heart to wake you."
She seemed very happy; ever since Sang Jiang woke up, her mouth had been wide open, almost reaching the back of her ears.
Sang Jiang frowned: "Where is your prince?"
Chunhe: "His Highness has already gone to greet those ministers."
"Summon the ministers?" Sang Jiang frowned even more deeply.
She looked at Chunhe and tentatively asked, "Is this the palace?"
"Yes," Chunhe nodded.
Sang Jiang: ...
She knew it!
No wonder Nangong Jin was sending jewelry and clothes so early in the morning.
So, he was planning to lure her into the palace.
Even if Nangong Jin hadn't brought her, she was still prepared to come. Wei Qing told her that Long Jingyu had brought people, but if they actually found her, she didn't know what to do.
So she chose to run away.
Since Long Jingyu came secretly, he wouldn't rashly enter the Xifeng Kingdom's palace.
Sang Jiang nodded, then got up, thought for a moment, and asked again, "Where is Consort Su?"
As Chunhe straightened her clothes, she said softly, "They've already gone to the banquet."
"A banquet? What kind of banquet?" Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow.
Chunhe straightened up and said with a smile, "Of course it's prepared for the princess. Since you came back, we haven't formally introduced you to the ministers and their families yet. The emperor was afraid that someone might offend you in the future, so he specially prepared this banquet for you."
Sang Jiang: ...
There's absolutely no need for that!
However, given the current situation, it was clearly impossible for her not to go. No matter how much she didn't want to go, she couldn't afford to offend the Emperor.
Seeing that she nodded, Chunhe went out and called a maid to lead the two of them.
The young palace maid was quite young, looking like a newcomer to the palace. She walked in timidly, not daring to look up.
"This servant greets the princess." Even her voice was so timid.
Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow: "Okay, lead the way."
"Yes, ma'am." The young palace maid replied and took the lead to guide the two.
Sang Jiang followed her through a winding path, looking around at the layout as she went. Unlike the casual layout of Dongchen Kingdom, the layout here was more symmetrical.
Everywhere you look there are small bridges over flowing water, artificial hills, and exotic flowers.
