Lady Wan didn't even know that Jiang Qingqing had recognized her voice.

She looked at Princess Dunming with a smile and said a few auspicious words.

Jiang Qingqing seemed to be smiling to please Wan Guiren, but when the last few concubines came up to say flattering words, Jiang Qingqing's eyes were always on Wan Guiren.

Concubine Wan sat on the right, and next to her were the young ladies from Concubine De's camp. After the introductions, Jiang Qingqing was able to recognize them.

"Where is Mr. Wan's hometown?"

Jiang Qingqing didn't believe that the contents discussed in the back hill of the Imperial Garden were all thought up by Wan Guiren alone. There must be someone above her.

Who is that person above?

Is it Concubine De or Empress Xu?

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing looked at Wan Guiren with even more eagerness.

Among the many concubines, she asked only Concubine Wan a question. Except for Concubine De, the other concubines present had some jealousy in their expressions.

Concubine Wan didn't seem to expect Princess Dunming to suddenly call her name.

She stood up hurriedly, bowed her head, and replied, "My hometown is a water town."

He is from the south and not a native of Kyoto.

Jiang Qingqing didn't dare to alert the enemy and could only nod in understanding.

Then, quite calmly, she turned her attention elsewhere.

This little episode of the concubine greeting each other soon faded away.

It’s not that all the concubines have come, but Jiang Qingqing has turned her attention to other people.

The first to bear the brunt were the hostages of the neighboring country, Li State, Han Qiming and Han Qingyi.

Jiang Qingqing felt uneasy every day these two people were in the palace.

The hot summer is now half over, and autumn is about to come, with the autumn wind blowing towards us.

The skin feels visibly cold.

Xin Juan took out the fluffy vest early and asked Jiang Qingqing to wear it.

Jiang Qingqing looked even rounder in her furry outfit.

She sat in the main seat, staring at the gate of the yard thoughtfully.

"Your Highness, do you still want to go to the Li Kingdom hostage today?"

Gan Yuan and Gan Lin stood on Jiang Qingqing's left and right. Seeing the melancholy look of the little prince, they looked at each other and Gan Yuan took the initiative to ask this question.

Jiang Qingqing nodded.

Since the incident when the concubines came to visit last time, Jiang Chen's workload suddenly increased. Jiang Qingqing wanted to accompany Jiang Chen to see if she could help with his studies.

So I haven't had time to go out during this period of time.

Finally, this autumn, the princes in the palace have to take an assessment test before hunting, so it's a rare opportunity to not study.

Jiang Qingqing wanted to give herself a day off, so she didn't go with them.

That's why he is now sitting in the main seat in Huaning Palace, with his hands on his chin, looking dazed.

Gan Lin looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess with concern, thought for a moment, and cautiously said, "How about we go take a look outside?"

"What's the point of just looking around the periphery!?"

When Jiang Qingqing heard this, she couldn't help but sit up straight and said unhappily, "Last time he secretly transported my Tianqi's specialty pepper seeds out. Why should I give face to such a villain!"

When she said this, she gnashed her teeth in hatred towards Han Qiming and Han Qingyi.

Gan Yuan hesitated for a moment, still not feeling reassured, so she asked tentatively, "How about, Your Highness, wait until the prince enters the palace and ask the prince what he thinks?"

"That won't work. The last time I went to the store at the crossroads to inquire about the situation, I did it without his knowledge."

Jiang Qingqing's analysis was very logical. She said categorically: "According to the mainstream view of the emperor's uncle, I should not know that Han Qiming did such a dirty thing. If I tell him at this juncture, wouldn't I be exposing myself?!"

Thinking of this, she shook her head like a rattle.

Gan Yuan and Gan Lin were stunned. They didn't know about this.

"But it is too dangerous for Your Highness to go there alone. We are worried." Gan Lin frowned.

Jiang Qingqing sighed, "How could it be dangerous? Where is this?"

"This... this is the land of Apocalypse." Gan Yuan and Gan Lin were caught off guard and were dumbfounded.

Jiang Qingqing nodded, and then said confidently: "Yes, this is Tianqi, my hometown. Even if they really want to harm me, can they return to their country intact!?"

What he said made a lot of sense. Gan Yuan and Gan Lin didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this moment, Jiang Qingqing saw that they were both stunned, so she decisively got down from her seat.

He clenched his left fist, spread his right hand, and smashed his fist into the palm of his hand very neatly, and said decisively: "Since they can't hurt me, I'm going to go!"

Having said that, she walked straight out of Huaning Palace.

In essence, Gan Yuan and Gan Lin did not dare to really stop Jiang Qingqing. They looked at each other helplessly and hurriedly chased after her.

The three of them walked all the way to the most remote palace in Tianqi. There were two rows of patrolling guards standing at the entrance of the palace. Jiang Qingqing was more or less familiar with those people.

One person walking in the team particularly caught Jiang Qingqing's attention.

That person...

Jiang Qingqing half-narrowed her eyes and walked quickly with her short legs to the front of the patrol team.

The patrol leader saw a short figure walking towards them.

There was such a short person in the Tianqi Palace. Everyone could recognize her without even thinking about it. That person was Princess Dunming, who was deeply favored by the emperor recently.

The leader hurriedly stopped and waited for the young prince to approach. He held the knife, nodded slightly, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I greet your highness."

"Um."

Jiang Qingqing nodded in a mature manner. She turned her body slightly and tilted her head to look at the back of the team.

At the end of the line, she saw the most familiar person.

"It's been more than half a month since Zhu Song last caught a cold. How is he? Is he feeling better now?"

Jiang Qingqing refused to give up.

How could there be no traitors in the patrol?

She heard everyone's voice to some extent, except Zhu Song's.

Since we met by chance today, I must hear what Zhu Song has to say no matter what.

The leader of the patrol team was obviously stunned for a moment, "Your Highness actually still remembers Zhu Song."

This is not a question, it is an affirmative sentence.

This time it was Jiang Qingqing's turn to feel embarrassed.

"Well, I was deeply reminded by my eldest brother that I should be inquiring and comforting to everyone in the palace. Everyone is working very hard. I also thought he looked familiar, so I remembered him after thinking about it carefully."

This statement is a bit forced.

But Jiang Qingqing was a little kid who looked only five or six years old. No one would think of anything else after hearing her words.

The leader of the patrol team turned around and waved at Zhu Song.

Zhu Song quickly lowered his head, walked forward, and bowed but did not speak.

"Hmm? Is it because of the cold you caught last time that your throat hasn't healed yet?" Jiang Qingqing wanted to listen, so she cared a lot about whether Zhu Song spoke or not.
