Nangong Jin watched Sang Jiang and Nangong Luoying leave before looking down at Su Liangdi: "What kind of riddles were you playing with them?"
Consort Su smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, it's nothing. Sang Jiang just wanted me to take care of myself. Is Your Highness hungry? I've already ordered someone to prepare a meal. Please go and eat."
Nangong Jin raised an eyebrow: "You don't need it?"
Consort Su swallowed hard, but remembering Sang Jiang's words, she resolutely shook her head: "This concubine and the princess have already used it."
Nangong Jin nodded. He was tired after a long day and didn't think much of Su Liangdi's words, assuming that she had indeed dined with Sang Jiang and the other woman.
In the carriage returning to the palace, Nangong Luoying hesitated for a long time before finally stammering, "Royal sister, what did you and Xia Ju talk about?"
Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow: "It's a secret."
The next day, news spread from the Crown Prince's residence that the concubine had accidentally fallen into the latrine while relieving herself that night, and by the time she was pulled out, she was half-dead.
When Nangong Luoying heard the news, she immediately ran to Mingyue Palace and laughed so hard she almost fell over.
Sang Jiang, holding a cup of tea, raised an eyebrow: "Is it that funny?"
Nangong Luoying nodded, still laughing heartily: "Of course there is! Is there anything funnier in this world than eating your own food... hahahahaha?"
Sang Jiang: ...
She glanced at the tea in her cup and silently put the cup back.
After Nangong Luoying finished laughing, she tugged at Sang Jiang and tentatively asked, "Royal sister, do you remember what day it is tomorrow?"
Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow: "What day is it?"
Nangong Luoying's face immediately fell: "Think about it, what did you do three days ago?"
Sang Jiang narrowed her phoenix eyes as if she were really thinking seriously. After a while, she nodded as if she had just realized something: "I know, you rejected Zhao Cong three days ago."
Nangong Luoying: ...
She took two steps forward and hugged Sang Jiang's arm: "Royal sister! Be serious, think again, what did you promise me three days ago?"
"What did I promise you?" Sang Jiang decided to play dumb with her to the end.
"One hundred taels!" Nangong Luoying gritted her teeth.
"Ah~" Sang Jiang suddenly realized: "I understand. Don't worry, just come and pick it up tomorrow."
You think you can take back the little money that's already in your pocket? No way!
At worst, she can stay up all night again.
"Alright! With Your Majesty's words, I'm relieved." Nangong Luoying's face immediately lit up with a smile.
Sang Jiang: ...
She lay down on the soft couch, preparing to close her eyes and rest, when she heard Nangong Luoying's slightly helpless voice: "Royal sister, what kind of person is Long Jingchen?"
Yesterday, the Emperor learned about Long Jingyu's situation and ordered that she could only marry Long Jingchen.
She had no feelings for either of the brothers, Long Jingchen and Long Jingyu; to her, it didn't matter which one she married.
When Sang Jiang heard the name Long Jingchen, her heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and slowly said, "I'm not familiar with him."
Seeing her lack of interest, Nangong Luoying nodded: "Alright, Royal Sister, I can..."
"No!" Sang Jiang sat up from the soft couch: "Have you forgotten that I'm a restless sleeper?"
Nangong Luoying acted as if she hadn't heard her refusal and walked directly to her side: "Royal sister, Luoying is about to go for a political marriage. Please spend these last few days with Luoying. Mother Consort has been refusing to see me since she found out I'm going for a political marriage..."
