Jiang Qingqing touched the tip of her nose in pain.
After Xin Juan helped the princess to stabilize herself, she raised her eyes and looked sharply at the person opposite her, with a hint of reprimand.
"How dare you! How dare you act so recklessly in the palace!"
The person on the other side quickly apologized.
“It’s really…”
The voice had a familiar tone, a gentle and warm tone.
Jiang Qingqing looked up along her skirt and saw the concubine whom she had met yesterday.
"Reverend Wan...Reverend Wan." Xin Juan saw the person opposite her clearly, and her fierce expression just now turned into a moment of embarrassment.
Lady Wan, who had just been scolded, just smiled lightly and did not take Xin Juan's scolding to heart.
She leaned down slightly, tried her best to look at Her Royal Highness at eye level, and asked softly, "What are you going to do in such a hurry, Your Highness?"
Jiang Qingqing's impression of Wan Guiren was neither good nor bad.
Suddenly she thought of the last time they met for the first time, when Concubine Wan reminded her about Han Qiming.
She couldn't help but muster some energy to deal with the noble man in front of her.
"Auntie, are you okay? I'm going to Kunning Palace to look for my mother. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Jiang Qingqing asked innocently with a harmless smile.
Wan Guiren smiled even more, "I was just walking around here to relax. I didn't expect to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Jiang Qingqing smiled, she turned slightly, raised her head and asked: "Aunt, do you have anything else to say? If not, Qingqing will leave first."
Having said that, Jiang Qingqing made a move to walk away.
Concubine Wan repeated the same action she used to intercept her last time, standing in front of her, smiling gently but speaking with a hint of breath in her voice.
Covered with a layer of mysterious color.
"Your Highness, please be careful of Concubine De."
After giving these instructions, Wan Guiren was about to stand up and pass by Jiang Qingqing.
But this time, Jiang Qingqing did not let her leave.
She quickly grasped the hem of Wan Guiren's clothes, raised her little head and looked straight at her, with a hint of the innocence that a child should have in her black eyes.
"Auntie reminded Qingqing again and again, why?"
Jiang Qingqing grasped the corner of Wan Guiren's clothes tightly and looked at her seriously.
Wan Guiren was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Jiang Qingqing to react so quickly this time.
She was silent for a moment, then she smiled gently again and said kindly, "I think the princess is lovely and I don't want her to suffer any loss."
Only a fool would believe such an ambiguous statement.
"Thank you very much for your reminder, Auntie. However, without real evidence, I still cannot believe that Auntie Defei is doing me any harm."
Jiang Qingqing pretended to disagree, and even pretended to correct Wan Guiren, and said seriously.
Lady Wan really didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Princess to say that. She looked a little anxious, but also a little worried.
"Your Highness, please trust me. I have no reason to harm you."
Jiang Qingqing looked at Wan Guiren's expression carefully. She was silent for a moment, then let go of Wan Guiren's clothes and smiled.
"Aunt Defei is also very good to me."
Jiang Qingqing deliberately did not fall for Wan Guiren's trick and made her anxious.
In order to test Wan Guiren's purpose once again, she pretended to be stubborn, loosened her hands, and was about to leave.
Lady Wan did not stop Jiang Qingqing as she had expected, and did not say more.
Jiang Qingqing walked straight forward with her back to Wan Guiren.
There was no obstruction as she wished, and Jiang Qingqing's eyes became deep for a moment.
It seems that Lady Wan is more scheming than she thought.
She walked forward and soon put the matter of Concubine Wan aside. What she needed to do most now was to find Empress Xu and get her approval to leave the palace.
She had to go to the eldest princess and be careful of those women getting close to the emperor's uncle!
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing took another quick step with her short legs.
He walked quickly all the way to Kunning Palace, and when he arrived at the palace gate, his little body was already a little out of breath.
Xin Juan looked at the little princess worriedly, and stood behind her carefully and said, "Your Highness, please take a rest. It's terrible to run so fast."
Jiang Qingqing was out of breath and couldn't speak at all. She could only wave her hand to indicate that she was fine.
The small body walked up the steps and entered the main hall of Kunning Palace, where she saw Empress Xu holding a booklet and listening to a female official reporting news.
Empress Xu felt someone coming in her peripheral vision, and she subconsciously raised her eyes to look over, and saw that there was a little sweat on the pink little girl's temples.
"What's going on?" Empress Xu hurriedly put down the book in her hand and stood up to greet Jiang Qingqing in person.
She held the little girl in her arms, and Empress Xu used her free hand to gently wipe the sweat from her temples.
"Has anyone in the Imperial College bullied our Qingqing?" Empress Xu couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Qingqing shook her head.
"That's because our Qingqing made a mistake in the Imperial College, and the master is chasing after her to punish her?"
She still shook her head.
"What's going on? Xin Juan, tell me."
Empress Xu asked two questions and the answer was none. She was too lazy to guess and went to ask her personal maid.
Xin Juan, who was standing behind Jiang Qingqing, didn't understand why Her Royal Highness the Princess rushed to Kunning Palace in such a hurry.
Jiang Qingqing took a deep breath, calmed down her disordered breathing, and then said, "Qingqing wants to go out of the palace to play with the imperial aunt!"
The eldest princess? Empress Xu was stunned for a moment, and she looked at Xin Juan again.
The latter had a confused expression. Seeing that Xin Juan didn't know either, Empress Xu turned back to Jiang Qingqing.
Jiang Qingqing bit her lower lip, with a look of pitiful grievance in her black pupils.
"Today in the Imperial College, Third Brother said that everyone has gone to the Imperial Aunt's house to prepare for the birthday banquet, and Qingqing is going to help too!!"
She resorted to a series of actions that only a child would do to act naughty and throw tantrums, twisting her body and whining in Empress Xu's arms.
This made Empress Xu a little at a loss as to what to do with Jiang Qingqing for a moment.
"They are going to work, not to play. Qingqing, you have to work when you go there. Otherwise, you won't have time to go to the Imperial College for classes." Empress Xu coaxed softly.
"No! I want to go and help. I don't want to go to the Imperial College anymore!" Jiang Qingqing made a fuss again.
Empress Xu had never faced such a stubborn and unreasonable child before. She was a little overwhelmed as she held Jiang Qingqing, who was twisting and turning. Without waiting for Jiang Qingqing to start the second stage of crying, Empress Xu immediately accepted her fate.
"Okay, okay, Qingqing, go out of the palace to find Her Royal Highness the Princess and help them, Wanqing! Tomorrow, you will bring my imperial decree and say that I am sending Princess Dunming to help Princess Qiming arrange a birthday banquet for the Princess."
Empress Xu really couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to bite the bullet and ask her most senior and prestigious maid to come forward.
In this way, seeing the senior palace maid was exactly what Empress Xu wanted.
It also means to support Jiang Qingqing.
