Feng Jinghan shook her head, dismissing the strange thought, and said with a look of surprise, "The shop manager heard you had a baby and wanted to come see you. I've already sent someone to pick her up, and you'll be able to see her soon."
Shen Qinghe stood up abruptly. "Sister An is here! Oh dear, why didn't you go to greet her yourself? No, I have to go myself."
Feng Jinghan smiled helplessly, "This is what the store manager asked us to do. You should just stay inside."
The two concubines were already used to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's way of getting along, so they weren't surprised. What shocked them was that the shop manager the Crown Prince mentioned, and Sister An the Crown Princess spoke of—could she be an immortal?
They had never seen an immortal before. Thinking of this, the two women were so excited that they didn't care about angering the prince and asked to see the immortal.
Of course, they were asking the Crown Princess, not the Crown Prince. They both knew perfectly well that asking the Crown Princess was more effective than asking the Crown Prince.
As soon as An Ge arrived at the main hall, she saw Shen Qinghe rushing over, followed by a group of people.
Having not seen Shen Qinghe for a year, An Ge couldn't help but sigh when she saw her again; the little girl she had always thought of had grown up.
Upon seeing An Ge, Shen Qinghe could no longer hold back her tears and rushed over, saying, "Sister An, I missed you so much."
"I miss you too. How are you doing in the East Palace? Has Feng Jinghan been bullying you?"
Before Shen Qinghe could speak, Feng Jinghan quickly surrendered, "How could I dare to bully her? Shop manager, why don't you ask her if she bullied me?"
Although she knew Feng Jinghan was joking, An Ge raised an eyebrow when she saw the two beauties behind her. "You're much more cunning than Qinghe. How could she possibly bully you?" The so-called bullying was probably just a little flirtation between the two of them, and she didn't want to get involved.
As if she had found a powerful backer, Shen Qinghe raised her head proudly, "That's right, Sister An would never wrong me."
Shen Qinghe and An Ge flirted for a while, but she didn't forget to introduce the two concubines to her.
The two concubines were stunned when they first saw An Ge, realizing the difference between a fairy and a mortal. They didn't come to their senses until they heard the Crown Princess call their names.
"Greetings, shopkeeper!" The two quickly bowed, afraid of angering the immortal.
Despite the smiling faces of the immortals, they knew their identities might not be appreciated by the immortals, so they were extremely cautious in every action.
Seeing that Shen Qinghe showed no sign of reluctance and even interacted intimately with the two concubines, An Ge's attitude towards them changed.
She had underestimated Shen Qinghe. This girl was smarter than she had imagined. No wonder she could get along so well with Bai Yurou.
An Ge nodded to the two of them, neither affectionate nor distant, but even so, the two of them couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
Good heavens! They actually received a return gift from the immortal! Everyone else would be green with envy. It was definitely the right thing to do to curry favor with the Crown Princess. Didn't you see how the immortal treated the Crown Prince and Crown Princess differently?
The two women were quite perceptive. Although they wanted to spend more time with the immortal, the immortal had come to see the Crown Princess. They could disregard the Crown Prince's wishes, but they couldn't disregard the immortal.
The two took their leave after only a short while, which amazed Feng Jinghan. When did his concubines become so sensible?
Feng Jinghan stayed a while longer before leaving, leaving the two of them alone.
Thinking of the resentful look in Feng Jinghan's eyes before she left, An Ge suppressed a laugh and said, "It seems you're doing really well."
Shen Qinghe looked at An Ge with reliance, "With Sister An protecting me, who would dare to bully me? Life is something you have to live yourself. If you demand perfection in everything, you'll only suffer in the end."
An Ge was surprised that Shen Qinghe saw things so clearly. It was clear that she had been worrying for nothing. She had misunderstood the way ancient people lived by modern minds.
"Did those people in the backyard annoy you?"
Shen Qinghe nodded first, then shook her head. "To be honest, I was indeed a little unhappy at first. But I know it was unavoidable. Rather than competing with them for favor, it's better to live my own life well. His Highness also has his own unavoidable difficulties; those were not his true intentions. Knowing that is enough. Besides, there will be many more such things after His Highness ascends the throne. There's no point in getting angry."
Moreover, some of the sisters are actually quite good, like the two concubines. They may have their own agendas, but they are all intelligent and know how to improve their lives. Unfortunately, there are too few people as clever as the two concubines; now even playing mahjong requires one more player.
After hearing this, An Ge didn't know whether to be happy or sad for Feng Jinghan. However, one thing was certain: Shen Qinghe really hadn't suffered any injustice.
Shen Qinghe picked up the little one and handed him to An Ge, saying, "Sister An, please hold him for a moment. This little one will definitely be healthy from now on."
An Ge chuckled, "You really think I'm a god?"
"Sister An was always like that. Actually, it was just a thought of mine. I feel at ease knowing that Sister An hugged him."
An Ge reluctantly took the little prince. The infant, not even a month old, was so soft to hold. The moment An Ge took him, she froze, too afraid to move. Now it was Shen Qinghe's turn to laugh.
In her memory, Sister An was always calm, and this was the first time she had ever seen her so nervous.
An Ge glanced helplessly at Shen Qinghe. Who was behind her being in such a predicament?
Looking at the little one in her arms, An Ge smiled. The little prince was very healthy and looked more like Shen Qinghe, with truly beautiful features. He had been crying a bit, but as soon as he was in An Ge's arms, he immediately quieted down and even gave her a toothless smile.
An Ge couldn't help but sigh at how adorable human babies were. She secretly channeled her spiritual energy, making the little one's physique stronger. Since ensuring the little prince's health was Shen Qinghe's wish, she would help fulfill that wish.
Shen Qinghe was just joking, but she was surprised to see how well the little guy and An Ge got along. "This is the first time I've seen him like someone so much." As expected of Sister An.
"By the way, Sister An, how long will you be in the capital? The little one's one-month celebration is in a few days. Can you come and attend?"
An Ge gave an apologetic look, "I have some things to take care of in a few days and I won't be back for a while."
This is the main reason. Of course, there's another point An Ge didn't mention: she's deliberately minimizing her involvement with this world. The little prince is still young, and she hopes he has fewer memories of her and lives in a more ordinary environment.
Shen Qinghe was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up and said, "If you have time next year, you must come to Yu Rou's wedding."
An Ge was taken aback. "Oh, she's getting married next year? To whom?"
Seeing An Ge's puzzled expression, Shen Qinghe gave a mysterious smile.
