After many years of experience in the palace, Concubine Jing did not lose her temper or smash the porcelain on the floor because of this sudden change. She knew that if she revealed her emotions, it would be easy for others to catch her.

It has never been her habit to be arrogant because of being favored. That is why she has been able to stand out among the many beautiful women in the harem for many years.

The maid Juan'er was accompanying him, but she saw that her master had a calm smile on his face and no other reaction. She knew that at this moment, her master's heart must not be as calm as it seemed on the surface. Over the years, the calmer her master smiled, the more likely it was that a shock would happen. Others didn't know, but she had been with her master since she was a child, so she naturally understood what her tiny movements meant.

"Your Majesty, everyone has gone far away, please get up quickly." Juan'er hurriedly helped Concubine Jing up.

With the help of her maid, Concubine Jing laughed softly, "Haha, kneeling is fine. How long has it been since I last knelt to receive an imperial decree like this? If I don't kneel for a while, I'm afraid I don't know when I'll have this opportunity again."

Although Concubine Jing was annoyed by the Emperor's strange behavior today, she was still confident that her favor would not be shaken by a little Concubine Hua. However...

As long as she thought about how the concubine had just entered the palace and seduced the emperor in broad daylight to have sex with him when she was thanking him, she felt extremely ashamed. In the harem, who didn't know that any beautiful girl would appear in front of the emperor and kneel down to accept his thanks after being canonized? Although the emperor had not appointed a queen in these years, everyone knew that the master of the harem was none other than herself, and any beauty presented by the ministers would be given advice after entering the palace!

Thinking of this, Concubine Jing's eyes were filled with a bit of bloodthirsty murderous intent.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. If you are angry, wouldn't it be an advantage for the villain to succeed?" Juan'er soothed, "That Concubine Hua must have deliberately gone against Your Majesty by acting like this today. I really don't understand why Prince Zhan sent this woman to you? Could it be for..."

Juan'er didn't dare to continue talking. She knew very well that no matter what her master had done with the prince in the past, now her master was already Concubine Jing. If she directly said that the prince did it to deliberately anger her, it would give people something to use to attack her.

However, after years of being master and servant, Concubine Jing naturally understood. She glanced at Juan'er and smiled sarcastically, "If you wanted revenge, why would you protect me everywhere after all these years?"

Seeing her master's mood suddenly become much lower, Juan'er understood that her master was worried about the past again.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about this. The Concubine Hua is so provocative, the master must make plans early. After all, it is not a good thing to underestimate the enemy." Juan'er hurriedly diverted the master's thoughts in other directions.

After hearing what the maid said, Concubine Jing nodded and smiled helplessly, "I have struggled hard for this position, and I can only struggle. I have sacrificed so much, how can I allow a little concubine like you to be so proud and arrogant? It's just the stars that have lifted her up. A poor girl, do you really think that once you enter the deep palace and the emperor likes you, you can dominate me?"

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that the Emperor favors her so early because of the astrology?" Juan'er asked.

"If not, how could the emperor lose his composure and treat her like this?" Concubine Jing sneered, "What's more, the banquet is coming up soon. Even if the emperor loves her very much, how could he lose his sense of propriety and not even wait until after the banquet to favor her?"

"But your majesty, doesn't the astrology indicate a solution to the princess's marriage dilemma?" Juan'er couldn't help but frowned, not knowing what was going on.

Concubine Jing walked towards the inner room, still smiling faintly, but her eyes were filled with a bit of viciousness, "If it weren't for the stars pointing out that the concubine offered by the princess for marriage would disrupt the fortune of the mansion where the beauty was offered, how could the emperor be interested in a mere concubine?"

"But, if that is the case, will the emperor favor Concubine Hua even more because of this?"

"It's just a wishful thinking. If it were really that good, why didn't that divine fortune teller predict my emotional destiny back then?" Concubine Jing said disdainfully.

"What does the master mean?"

"The people were selected by Zong Zheng Xiaoting. If something goes wrong and it involves rebellion, who do you think is the person behind the scenes?" A sinister smile hung on the beautiful face that was full of love for the country and the city.

Juan Er cried out in a low voice when she heard this, "But Madam, if this is the case, then wouldn't the prince be the one?"

Covering her mouth tightly, Juan'er looked at Jingfei in disbelief.

"As long as they haven't gotten married, the emperor would not dare to pin the crime on Xiao. Moreover, this can help get rid of Zong Zheng Xiaoting without causing trouble for Luozha. How could the emperor not want to get rid of Luozha as a helper for Xiao?"

Inside the Jing Palace, a vicious conspiracy quietly arose.

The sky gradually darkened. Bai Yungang, as a guest, arrived at Feiluan Palace in advance. Just as he arrived, Zong Zheng Xiaoting arrived right after him.

As soon as she entered the hall, Zong Zheng Xiaoting saw her grandfather, who was nearly sixty years old. She couldn't help but feel happy. She had never thought that besides her parents and sisters, she would have closer relatives. The man in front of her had kind eyes and a radiant face. Although he was nearly sixty years old, he exuded the aura of a wise man.

"Grandfather." Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help but trot towards Baiyungang.

Seeing Zong Zheng Xiaoting's unceremonious trotting, without the manners of a royal princess, Bai Yungang did not blame her. In Luozha Country, the monarch is the monarch and the ministers are the ministers. He did not have much time to interact with this granddaughter. Now, seeing her intimacy and joy at seeing him, Bai Yungang just doted on her and pretended to scold her, "The princess is getting more and more outrageous when she is outside. How can such an attitude be that of a princess?"

"Xiaoting is so happy to see her grandfather. There are no outsiders here anyway." Zongzheng Xiaoting held Bai Yungang's hand affectionately. It was her nature and the blood relationship that made her feel familiar and close to this relative.

"Grandfather hasn't seen the princess for several years." Bai Yungang looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with a smile, "I didn't expect that our princess has grown up to be so graceful. No wonder, it is said that the God of War is very fond of you."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Bai Yungang's sudden guilty expression and was puzzled for a moment. Obviously, his grandfather doted on him, but why did he have such a guilty and complicated look in his eyes when he mentioned Situ Xunxiao?

Unfortunately, before she had time to investigate further, the continuous sound of reports interrupted this rare warmth.
