Jiang Chen's words perfectly broke the atmosphere of the reconciliation between the brother and sister.

Jiang Qingqing lowered her head and sighed. Forget it, he is still a child. Don't bother with him. The child can still be saved.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen did not insist that Jiang Qingqing send him back to the Prince's Palace afterwards.

Jiang Qingqing stood at the gate of the prince's mansion and watched the little boy go in. When she could no longer see him, she withdrew her gaze and signaled Xin Juan to lead her back to Huaning Palace.

Along the way, Jiang Qingqing was thinking about what Han Qiming had done in the main hall of the Imperial College today.

Why did he seek peace on the surface? He certainly didn't really want to apologize for Han Qingyi. She had just investigated not long ago that the two protons sent by Li State had a significant difference in status.

One is the legitimate daughter of the Queen, who is truly the darling of Li State; the other is the eldest son of a concubine who is not favored. Although he is the eldest son, he is born out of wedlock. Although there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in Li State, the Queen of Li State has been eyeing the position of the crown prince of Li State and wants to support her second prince to ascend to the throne.

The two people are not in the same position, nor in the same camp. Why do they become allies who stand together in Tianqi?

There must be some clues that she has not grasped.

Jiang Qingqing calmed herself down and decided to find an opportunity to personally find out Han Qiming's identity.

She walked on the palace avenue, with Xin Juan leading the way, followed by four or five palace maids. It was quite a large scene, and one could recognize her from a distance: this person was the jewel in the palm of the Tianqi royal family - Jiang Qingqing.

"Your Highness, the Princess is fine." The graceful woman stopped Xin Juan's way leisurely, her voice soft and comfortable.

Jiang Qingqing collected her thoughts and looked at the person who suddenly blocked her way. Looking at this handsome face, there was no such person in her original memory.

Xin Juan saw that the person coming was a concubine. She nodded slightly and saluted, clearing up Jiang Qingqing's confusion. "Greetings to Lady Wan."

"Aunt Xin Juan." Concubine Wan responded with a smile.

Lady Wan? Jiang Qingqing didn't remember this person, but because of her original body's connections and reputation, she smiled brightly and greeted Lady Wan: "Qingqing has never seen such a beautiful aunt before."

When you meet a woman, compliment her first!

Sure enough, this trick soon worked on Concubine Wan. She looked at Xin Juan with a sense of flattery, then leaned down slightly and said to Her Royal Highness the Princess: "It is natural that Your Highness has never seen me. In the past, I had no chance to appear beside Your Highness."

Jiang Qingqing blinked her eyes, "Why can't you appear beside me?"

Wan Guiren smiled implicitly, "Your Highness is taken care of by the Empress and the Imperial Concubine. We, the concubines of lower rank, have no chance to see Your Highness. I have long heard that Your Highness is cute and smart. Now that I have seen you in person, I am sure you are so naive."

Jiang Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable, not knowing whether she was thinking too much as an adult, or whether Wan Guiren really had other intentions.

Jiang Qingqing had no way of responding to this, so she simply laughed it off and prepared to fish in troubled waters.

Just as she was about to pass by Concubine Wan and continue walking forward, Concubine Wan called her again.

"Your Highness."

Jiang Qingqing turned her head to look at the pretty young concubine beside her, tilted her head and blinked, without saying anything.

Wan Guiren suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Your Highness must be on guard against the two hostages of the Li Kingdom."

After saying this, Wan Guiren retreated to a safe distance, bowed to Jiang Qingqing with a polite smile, nodded and greeted Xin Juan, then turned around and passed by Jiang Qingqing.

Jiang Qingqing:?

What kind of operation was this? A concubine who she had never met before, who seemed to have no status and was vaguely out of favor, suddenly secretly told her to be careful of the hostage of the Li State.

Jiang Qingqing's eyes darkened slightly. Did Concubine Wan know something, or was there someone behind the scenes fanning the flames and finding an unknown person to tell her this?

Who was the person behind this? Was he someone who wanted to harm her and scare a four-year-old child? Or was he someone who was secretly treating her well and wanted to help her?

Seeing that the princess had been staring at Concubine Wan's back, Xin Juan kindly reminded her, "This lady entered the palace three years ago during the selection of concubines. She was quite favored at first, but later because of her poor health...she gradually fell out of favor. Your Highness seems to be very curious about this lady?"

Jiang Qingqing retracted her thoughts and shook her head. "It's just that I'm a little curious when I see this lady for the first time."

Xin Juan did not suspect anything and continued to walk towards Huaning Palace with the little princess.

Jiang Qingqing was gradually getting familiar with the road to Huaning Palace. She was just about to jog back and lie down on the bed to have a good rest, but after walking a few more steps, she saw a senior palace maid standing at the gate of Huaning Palace.

Jiang Qingqing was very familiar with this senior palace maid. The day before yesterday, she saw this palace maid handing her a piece of cake in a side hall of the Imperial College.

"Are you someone close to the Imperial Concubine?" Jiang Qingqing looked innocent. She looked at the senior palace maid and pointed out her identity directly.

Concubine Zhao's maid wanted to tell Xin Juan the whole story, but she didn't expect that the young prince actually knew her. The maid bowed her head and said respectfully, "Your servant Zi Lian greets His Highness."

Purple lotus.

Jiang Qingqing silently repeated the name in her heart, "Aunt Zilian, what is the matter with you coming to see me?"

Zi Lian was quite surprised at the cleverness of the little princess. You know, before, the little princess always looked arrogant and never took the older palace maids seriously. Now, such a natural and calm conversation was something she had never experienced before.

Zi Lian quickly replied, "My queen would like to invite Your Highness to go to Chuxiu Palace for some snacks."

Concubine Zhao? Jiang Qingqing thought that Concubine Zhao would distribute ** cakes every day under the pretext of subsidizing the meals of the princes. In the afternoon, Han Qingyi would bring over pork crispy meat that was in conflict with **.

Han Qingyi certainly has problems, but Concubine Zhao... can't tell whether she is a friend or a good person.

"I feel a little tired after class just now. Can you let me rest for a while before going to the Imperial Concubine's Palace to have some snacks?" Jiang Qingqing pondered for a moment and decided to call for help first.

Zi Lian did not seem to have expected that the little princess could arrange her life so well. Thinking of the second prince who still needed the care of the nanny beside the queen, the sharp contrast made Zi Lian look at the little princess differently.

"Of course, Your Highness. Please wait a moment and I will come to pick you up." Zi Lian did not dare to go against the little princess's wishes and could only continue to follow her words.

When she turned and walked towards Chuxiu Palace, she did not even look back, and even walked very calmly on the path.

Such a calm and steady palace maid made Jiang Qingqing somewhat curious about her master, Concubine Zhao.
