Xiao Linting's gaze was always on Jiang Qingqing, and the thoughtful expression in his eyes seemed as if he was thinking about something.

Jiang Qingqing looked at her uncle and slowly realized that Xiao Linting must have guessed her behavior.

Could it be that the vest of the five-year-old innocent little princess could no longer protect her? !

Just as she was feeling uneasy, the inquiring look in Xiao Linting's eyes suddenly faded.

Seeing the emperor's uncle's gaze move away from her, Jiang Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

Xiao Linting seemed to have come only to deliver a message. After saying this, he turned around and left.

The eldest prince looked at the two brothers and sisters who did evil things and sighed deeply, but then he remembered what he had just said and took his words back.

The people who had given the lecture left one by one, except for the brother and sister who were still sitting in their seats, one with his head hung down, and the other sitting in a daze.

It was so easy to expel Han Qiming from the Imperial College.

This made Jiang Qingqing feel a little dazed.

In her previous life, in order to achieve her goal, she tried her best and used all kinds of tricks to achieve her wish.

Now that he had started over again, all his goals had been achieved without any effort. This feeling of comfort and joy was so great that Jiang Qingqing couldn't believe it for a moment.

Just as Xin Juan was considering reminding the two masters to return to Huaning Palace, someone from the prince's mansion, which usually did not see anyone visiting, came to the door on their own initiative.

The senior maidservant beside Concubine Zhao walked into the palace at this moment. When she saw the two princes, she first saluted respectfully.

Jiang Chen saw clearly, and without waiting for the senior palace maid to speak, he said directly: "Second brother just left, if you chase him now, he should not be far away."

The head maid smiled and said, "I am here to see your two highnesses."

When Jiang Qingqing heard this, she focused her attention on the senior palace maid.

The head maid, Zi Lian, left no room for suspense and slowly explained, "The Imperial Concubine had selected several new treasures a few days ago. The First and Second Princes had already chosen them at noon. I have been looking for the two Princes for a long time but couldn't find them. I just got the news and hurried here."

At noon, Jiang Qingqing and the others were staying in a corner of a side hall, so it was true that Concubine Zhao's men didn't find them.

After taking the eldest prince to Chuxiu Palace for a test last time, Jiang Qingqing couldn't be said to be on guard against Concubine Zhao, but she couldn't say she relaxed either.

They followed Zi Lian out of the Prince's Mansion and walked all the way to Chuxiu Palace.

The palace was very relaxing. The palace servants were taking care of a large flower bush in the courtyard. Jiang Qingqing looked carefully at the flowers there, but quickly withdrew her gaze.

She didn't know the names of the flowers very well, so it was useless for her to look at them.

In the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Zhao unexpectedly did not sit in the main seat of the palace. Instead, she sat on the Luohan seat by the window, chatting with the person opposite her with a smile on her face.

Jiang Qingqing was walking towards him, but at first her view was blocked by the screen, so she couldn't see who was walking across from her.

All that could be heard was the occasional chuckle in the palace.

It was not until Jiang Qingqing and Jiang Chen entered Chuxiu Palace that she could see clearly the person sitting opposite Concubine Zhao.

She was a little girl in plain clothes, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she was dressed plainly, if you looked closely at the plain jewelry, each one was finely crafted, which made her look like a noble lady.

Next to Concubine Zhao was a wooden box with gold edges, and she pushed the box towards the girl.

After Zi Lian's report, both people in Luohan** turned their heads to look at the brother and sister at the door.

Jiang Qingqing had never remembered having such young concubines in the palace. Before she could even ask the question, Concubine Zhao took the initiative to answer her.

"Come to think of it, our Princess Dunming has never met Qi Yang yet." Concubine Zhao looked at Jiang Qingqing and waved at her.

Jiang Chen looked at Princess Qi Yang and didn't react much, but judging from her attitude, she seemed to know this person.

Jiang Qingqing was confused at first, but as she approached Concubine Zhao, she could see the girl in front of her clearly.

Princess Qi Yang sat on the Arhat chair, her posture dignified and graceful. Her indifferent expression and superior attitude made Jiang Qingqing feel uneasy.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. When Qi Yang was in the palace, this little prince was not yet born." Princess Qi Yang looked Jiang Qingqing up and down, looked at the ink stains on the hem of her clothes, and smiled with some contempt.

Compared with the way she just chatted with Concubine Zhao, what she said was a sudden 180-degree reversal.

Princess Qi Yang didn't wait for Concubine Zhao to speak. She looked to the side and at that moment when she looked at Jiang Chen, she seemed to have returned to the cheerful state of a young girl just now.

"Your Highness has grown up so much now. When Qi Yang left Kyoto, Your Highness seemed to be only seven or eight years old. More than two years have passed in a flash."

Princess Qi Yang had a certain degree of initiative in what she said, and she even couldn't help but reveal in her words that she, Qi Yang, was the person Tian Qi was most familiar with.

This made Jiang Qingqing feel a little uncomfortable.

Concubine Zhao smiled, motioned Jiang Qingqing to come over and sit down, then held the little princess in her arms and explained to Jiang Qingqing.

"This is Princess Qiyang, who has lived in the palace for several years. She just returned from her fiefdom today, so it is understandable that Your Highness does not recognize this princess."

She took out the wooden box from the table, opened it and placed it in front of Jiang Qingqing, and said softly, "I originally wanted Qingqing to come over and choose some silk flowers, but unfortunately the princess came back to the palace, so we bumped into each other today."

Jiang Qingqing nodded thoughtfully.

Princess Qi Yang, so she is the cousin of the original owner. Before the original owner came into the palace, Princess Qi Yang should have been the most cared for and cherished person in the palace. Later, Princess Qi Yang left Kyoto for unknown reasons, and the original owner was born right after that.

So it's normal that they have never met each other.

However, this cousin's attitude was really... uncomfortable. It felt like a tit-for-tat confrontation.

Could it be that Princess Qi Yang felt that Jiang Qingqing had taken away all the attention in the palace?

Princess Qi Yang was chatting with Jiang Chen for a while. Her voice was soft and had the unique brightness and sweetness of a girl. Compared with Jiang Qingqing's voice that only children have, her voice sounded better.

Jiang Chen was initially a little unprepared for this enthusiastic princess, but the scenes she described were all new things that had never been seen in the palace. At his age, in his early teens, he was curious about everything.

He couldn't help but start chatting with Princess Qi Yang.

Jiang Qingqing randomly picked a silk flower of a certain color, and then set her sights on the unfamiliar Princess Qi Yang.

"Your Highness, would you like to take the initiative to chat with Qi Yang?"

When Concubine Zhao saw that the little princess was looking at the person opposite her seriously, she pushed the little princess' shoulder and asked softly.

Hearing these words, Princess Qi Yang and Jiang Chen both focused their attention on Jiang Qingqing.

The former looked impatient for a moment.
