Jiang Qingqing explained perfunctorily why she could order the emperor's uncle around.

Jiang Chen exclaimed, "You went to the palace of the imperial aunt today?! I thought you just followed the emperor's uncle to the inner palace."

Jiang Qingqing was about to get up and go back to the house, but when she heard what Jiang Chen said, she couldn't help but become curious.

"Is the Imperial Aunt... difficult to get along with?"

Jiang Chen nodded. He looked at Jiang Qingqing strangely. "Didn't you go and see her today? Didn't you feel that the imperial aunt was aloof and cold? She didn't like to talk to people. She just sat there coldly and didn't smile."

His voice suddenly became smaller, and then he leaned his head close to Jiang Qingqing and whispered, "Ever since the death of the old Marquis of Xiping, the Royal Aunt has not been very interested in getting along with us."

I didn't expect there was this layer of story.

No wonder the concubines in the harem all felt indescribable weirdness towards the eldest princess.

Jiang Chen waved his hands and said with emotion: "She is worthy of being my biological sister. She can even handle people with cold personalities like the Imperial Aunt and the Imperial Uncle."

Jiang Qingqing gave a dry laugh and separated from Jiang Chen on the pretext of going to wash up.

After returning to the house, she went to the bathroom to wash up as usual, and went to bed in her thin underwear.

As a minor, Jiang Qingqing strictly controls her daily routine, lives a healthy life, and grows up healthily.

A dreamless night.

Early in the morning, Jiang Qingqing could rarely hear the lively sound of birds singing, and she woke up from sleep in a trance.

For the first time, when I woke up in the morning, it was not the little palace maid who called people to get up, but Xin Juan, who I had never seen in the morning.

"Good morning." Jiang Qingqing slept comfortably and was in a very happy mood.

When Xin Juan saw that the little princess had woken up, he called the palace maids into the room and helped Jiang Qingqing wash and change clothes in an orderly manner.

Jiang Qingqing sat in front of the dressing table, carefully looking at Xin Juan's face through the bronze mirror.

She went to bed early yesterday and had not had time to observe Xin Juan's reaction. After a night, Xin Juan's emotions should have been brewing.

She estimated that she would not be able to see Xin Juan's micro-expressions.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing's eyes gradually became worried.

Xin Juan was originally combing the little princess's hair into double buns carefully. She felt the little princess's burning gaze from the corner of her eye. She pinned the last purple pearl flower on the bun and then looked at the little princess.

"Your Highness, do you want to change to some other accessories?"

Jiang Qingqing blinked her eyes, her mind racing as she thought of what cryptic words she should use to ask Xin Juan what she meant.

But then I thought, she is just a kid in disguise!

What a complicated thing!

"The emperor's uncle brought in two new maids yesterday. Would you be unhappy, Xin Juan?"

The little baby voice asked directly with a tentative tone.

The corners of Xin Juan's mouth froze for a moment, and Jiang Qingqing noticed it keenly.

"Your Highness is already short of staff, and the prince made this deployment for your sake. I dare not be unhappy. Being able to serve Your Highness is already a blessing for Xin Juan."

After saying that, Xin Juan took a step back and bowed respectfully towards Jiang Qingqing, looking as if she was willing to do it.

What you said... well, it does have some level to it.

Jiang Qingqing actually felt a little distressed. She turned around to look at Xin Juan and waved her hand.

Xin Juan hurriedly took a step forward, and Jiang Qingqing put her hands on the back of her hands and patted them.

"Don't worry, you are also extremely important to me."

This was a very bad girl's statement. Jiang Qingqing said it with a thick face.

Xin Juan probably thought that the five-year-old princess's words were innocent, so she just took them as a consolation and her smile was a little forced.

Just as Jiang Qingqing wanted to say a few more words of comfort, Gan Lin, who was slightly shorter than her, ran hurriedly to the door.

She knew her limits and did not step into the room. Instead, she stood at the door and said loudly, "Your Highness, the prince and the queen are already waiting in the front hall."

The news was a bit unexpected. Jiang Qingqing hurriedly withdrew her hand that was used to comfort Xin Juan, picked up her skirt and ran out in a hurry, looking at Gan Lin who didn't seem to be in a hurry.

She felt a little relieved for a while, but her legs began to move faster.

When she hurried to the entrance of the hall, she was already out of breath.

The small body and flat chest rose and fell for a moment. She covered her chest and looked at Empress Xu sitting in the main seat, then Jiang Qingqing staggered into the room.

"Qingqing, please pay your respects to the Queen Mother and ask how is your uncle."

In front of Empress Xu, Jiang Qingqing maintained the image of a well-behaved and obedient princess.

Empress Xu asked Wanqing to bring water to the princess. She said in a friendly and caring manner, "Why are you running so fast? We are not calling you in a hurry. You should walk slowly next time, okay?"

"Qingqing, aren't you afraid of wasting the time of mother and uncle?" Jiang Qingqing smiled sweetly and took the teacup handed to her by Wanqing. She thanked Wanqing in a low voice.

Xiao Linting sat in the first seat, his beautiful phoenix eyes always fixed on her.

When Empress Xu saw that she had recovered after drinking the water, she continued, "Early this morning, the eldest princess came into the palace."

Jiang Qingqing tilted her head back to drink water, and her breathing was a little disordered, and she almost choked. Fortunately, she swallowed it in time and did not spit it out.

Just yesterday I heard from Jiang Chen that the Imperial Aunt is a loner and rarely interacts with people in the palace. This morning I heard the news that the eldest princess had entered the palace.

The slap in the face came so quickly.

The little girl's face turned red because of choking. Empress Xu was about to call her over with concern, but Xiao Linting pulled her over first.

Then, Prince Xiao, who usually didn't have much physical contact with Her Highness, was seen skillfully raising his hand and gently patting the little princess's back.

Although those sharp, upward eyebrows were furrowed, there was no sign of impatience.

Empress Xu couldn't help but sigh that Prince Xiao finally showed some humanity.

"Did the Imperial Aunt come to the palace to complain about me?" Jiang Qingqing coughed a few times. After being patted by Xiao Linting, she looked up at Empress Xu in embarrassment.

At this moment, she went over her memories of yesterday.

【I didn’t do anything】

The confused voice of a baby came into Xiao Linting's mind. He withdrew his hand calmly and gathered his sleeves.

Empress Xu smiled softly, "Qingqing is so well-behaved, why would the princess sue our Qingqing?"

Why did you enter the palace?

Jiang Qingqing waited for Empress Xu's next words.

"The princess said that our Qingqing is clever and smart. She wants to invite Qingqing to stay at the princess's mansion for a few days." Empress Xu smiled with great relief.

But the next sentence almost ruined Jiang Qingqing's plan.

"It's a little strange. The eldest princess also asked me if she could borrow the bed in the princess' bedroom to the princess's mansion as well."

Jiang Qingqing knew the plot of borrowing a bed very well.

She looked up at the culprit beside her.
