"Shut up, Sixth Prince. You're still a little immature if you want to ascend to the top overnight. With me as the Queen, you can forget about that day. Ji Nianqin is mine. I don't know who dares to bully her in front of me. You have to look at the owner before you beat the dog."
"Empress, although you say you are protecting me, your analogy is really hard for me to accept, okay?"
Ji Nianqin cleared her throat and rolled her eyes.
"Ji Nianqin, you've made me wait for you in the palace for an hour, and you've come here to flatter my Empress Dowager. Hurry up and go to the competition. My sisters are waiting to see what you're capable of. Stop boasting all day and get out of here."
The princess held Princess Mingyue with one hand and supported Ji Nianqin with the other.
"Can't you see the strong atmosphere? I'm here to save you from this dire situation, so when you wear the hairpin later, please be kind to me."
"Your Highness, didn't you say that all the concubines in the palace were made by you? But I don't think their makeup looks good at all. Instead, it's a bit tacky. When you went out to look for a prince consort, you must have also looked in the brothels, right? Don't you notice that you look a bit like the women there?"
"What? You insult my craftsmanship. Fine, then let's have a proper competition."
"No, I still have to go out and distribute food and clothes to the people."
"The dynasty definitely can't survive without you. I've already had the guards finish it off."
"Does that mean they can't take the food away and can only eat here?"
"What are you talking about? That's ridiculous! How can that make sense? Of course they can take it away. And some people even said that you gave them two portions last time, so those paralyzed at home could also be taken home by their families."
"Nonsense, Princess, you haven't personally inspected the situation, so how could you make such a rash decision? Last time, I was worried about the people causing trouble in the palace because the situation was different. Now that time has passed, of course, we need to analyze each case individually. In short, the national treasury is in deficit, and the grain supply outside the palace has been disrupted because the farmers are not cultivating their land and are waiting for it to be distributed by the emperor. Even the grain supply inside the palace has been reduced."
"That's right, I'll just consider it as losing weight."
Ji Nianqin pushed the princess away, and Princess Mingyue fell to the ground, crying loudly.
"What are you doing? Mingyue, get up. Let me check if you are hurt."
"I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, the people in the palace will soon starve, and they won't have the energy to help the people. We must conserve our energy and maintain our strength at all times."
Ji Nianqin said this while running outside, but unexpectedly when she turned around, she suddenly bumped into the body of the fake prince.
"Didn't you tell me to spin around in circles? I've been spinning until my head is dizzy, and you haven't come out yet. Look, is that right?"
After saying this, the fake prince began to shake his head, as if his neck could not support his body.
Hahahaha, I’m so happy.”
"Is it true that anyone who becomes the crown prince will become mentally unstable? I'm talking about you walking around outside the palace while the uniforms were being distributed. I'm helping you establish a certain level of authority among the people. At the very least, you should let them know that the little black man lying on the bed is not the crown prince. But why did you come into the palace? You're so out of place, what if anyone sees you?"
"Ji Nianqin, who is this?"
