Chapter 394 Whether you admit it or not, I am the prince's woman
As soon as they met, Jiang Wan knew that this Concubine Zhou was no simple person.
Unlike Jiang Ruhua, who was a delicate and sickly beauty who only knew how to cry, her words and actions were impeccable.
Jiang Wan has already divorced Song Jiuyuan, and treating her as a guest can not only highlight the status of the hostess, but also give Jiang Wan a sense of power.
"Sister Wanwan."
Before Jiang Wan could take a bite, Song Jiuli, who got the news, rushed over with her skirt lifted up.
She protected Jiang Wan behind her and looked at Concubine Zhou with fear in her eyes.
"Don't use the same tactics you used in Kyoto's house fights against Sister Wanwan. She is never a guest when she comes to the palace."
"Li'er."
Concubine Zhou was not annoyed, but smiled, "You are right, Miss Jiang and the prince did have a relationship.
Even though we are no longer related, I should still respectfully call you sister."
Every word she said was gentle, but it also reminded Jiang Wan that they were already a thing of the past.
And she, Concubine Zhou, is the only wife or concubine in Song Jiuyuan's mansion now.
I thought Jiang Wan would be angry, but she was wrong. Jiang Wan smiled and pointed at the bag in Qiu Niang's hand.
"This is the seafood that the prince and I bought together before. He forgot to take it. Let the chef in the mansion prepare it."
“Wow, there are shrimps!”
Song Jiuli covered her mouth with joy, with stars in her eyes, and happily ordered the people behind her to send the things to the kitchen.
Jiang Wan also reminded: "Make one portion each of boiled and braised dishes, the prince likes them."
Her calm declaration of sovereignty was obviously just an ordinary, casual remark, but it broke Concubine Zhou's heart.
But this time, Concubine Zhou's psychological quality was really good. She suppressed the helplessness in her eyes and rekindled her smile.
“Thank you Miss Jiang for taking such good care of the prince in the past, but you two don’t live together now, so it’s inconvenient.
You can tell me about the prince's taboos, and I will take good care of him."
The two exchanged sharp words. Song Jiuli was not stupid. She naturally understood what Concubine Zhou meant. She immediately said angrily:
"What are you thinking about?"
"Li'er, I don't mean anything else."
Concubine Zhou argued with a smile, "It's just that Miss Jiang Yunying is still unmarried, and frequent visits would damage her reputation."
"Does it require you to mind your own business?"
A cold voice mixed with anger appeared, and Song Jiuyuan quickly hurried to Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan could even see the dark circles under Song Jiuyuan's eyes. He was probably resting before coming.
He was already unhappy after being woken up, and now his eyes were looking coldly at Concubine Zhou's face.
"Your Majesty."
Concubine Zhou no longer had the smile on her face. She pursed her lips and said apologetically:
"I am just thinking about Miss Jiang."
"Everyone knows your little thoughts."
Song Jiuli curled her lips and said, "Even if you were given to my elder brother, you are just a concubine after all.
Mother didn't tell you to manage the household expenses, and you are really annoying for acting on your own today."
Song Jiuli is just like this. She has hated Jiang Wan for a long time and her likes and dislikes are shown on her face.
Concubine Zhou blushed at Song Jiuli's blunt words, and she looked at Song Jiuyuan pleadingly.
"Your Highness, I am just thinking that there is no mistress in the mansion, so I should share your worries."
"Don't worry about it."
Song Jiuyuan's cold gaze moved from her to Jiang Wan, and his eyes suddenly softened.
"Wanwan, please stay and have dinner with us."
"OK."
Jiang Wan nodded with a smile on her face, and listened to Song Jiuyuan's instructions to Song Yi.
"Wanwan likes seafood porridge. Ask the kitchen staff to prepare it."
Not only did she know his preferences very well, Song Jiuyuan also kept her preferences in mind.
Concubine Zhou's pretty face became even paler, but Song Jiuli still didn't forget to pierce her heart.
"You see, my elder brother and sister Wanwan care about each other and they have each other in their hearts.
If you know what's good for you, just stay within your means and don't expect things that don't belong to you."
"Li'er, I was given to the prince by the emperor."
Concubine Zhou quickly calmed down and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Whether you are willing to admit it or not, I am the prince's woman."
These words floated into the ears of Jiang Wan in front of her. She felt uncomfortable for no reason and gave Song Jiuyuan a cold look.
Perhaps knowing that she was feeling jealous, Song Jiuyuan's mood improved instead.
This at least shows that Wanwan's heart has gradually rekindled.
"Mom has been talking about you. You came just in time."
Song Jiuyuan naturally walked shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Wan, and their backs matched. Concubine Zhou subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped by Song Jiuli.
"Are you sure you want to follow and humiliate yourself?"
"Li'er, Miss Jiang is a guest after all."
Concubine Zhou's tone was serious, which made Song Jiuli speechless. "I heard that your Zhou family is the best at scheming. I didn't understand it before, but now I have learned a little bit."
Concubine Zhou's face turned pale after hearing what Song Jiuli said. She stood there blankly, with her five fingers clenched together.
"Not convinced?"
Song Jiuli sneered, "Mother said that you might not be willing to be given to Big Brother.
I thought you might be innocent, but now you are so eager to be the mistress, we really overestimated you."
After saying that, Song Jiuli walked away, leaving Concubine Zhou standing there awkwardly, a hint of hatred flashing quickly in her eyes.
…
As soon as she saw Madam Song, she quickly grabbed Jiang Wan's hand and said, "Wan Wan, don't worry, you are the only mistress of this palace.
As for other women, even if they were sent by the emperor, I would not acknowledge them."
As she spoke, she glared at Song Jiuyuan, "Yuan'er, you have to stay awake and know what you want at all times."
This was a warning to Song Jiuyuan that he must not be misled by the person sent by the emperor.
"Don't worry, mother. I know that Concubine Zhou cannot be touched now."
Song Jiuyuan didn't say it explicitly, but they all knew that they couldn't alert the enemy before knowing the details of Concubine Zhou.
Madam Song comforted Jiang Wan with gentle words, "Wan Wan, I will help you watch Yuan Er and will never let him do anything wrong."
Her words of defense warmed Jiang Wan's heart, "Thank you, Madam."
"Silly child."
Madam Song tapped Jiang Wan's nose and said, "I should be the one to say thank you.
Li'er told me that if it weren't for you, she wouldn't know what she would be like now."
"I have always treated Li'er as my sister, so I can't just watch her jump into the fire pit."
Jiang Wan didn't want to embarrass Song Jiuyuan, so the atmosphere was very warm. Song Jiuyuan went out to take care of some trivial matters.
When they came back, the kitchen brought in freshly cooked seafood, and Song Jiuyuan naturally filled a bowl of porridge for Jiang Wan.
Looking at the intimacy between the two, Song Qing and Madam Song looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.
It seems that this silly boy has made quite a bit of progress in his pursuit of the girl.
Because there were a lot of things piled up after returning, Jiang Wan did not stay long.
After she saw what kind of person Concubine Zhou was, she said goodbye and left.
Song Jiuyuan originally wanted to send the person to the gate of the mansion, but he had something else to do, so he could only ask Song Jiuli to do it.
Unexpectedly, before she left, Concubine Zhou came over again and said straight to the point:
"Miss Jiang, can I talk to you alone?"
