Chapter 282: Always the Enemy
"What he is doing now is nothing more than a test for me!"
"Do you really believe that Helian Renxin has changed because he lost his parents?"
"You have to remember," Song Qingqi turned around and looked at Shen Xiao very seriously, "We are enemies all the time. Our temporary cooperation is just to get what we need."
"But if Helian Ren wants to surpass us in the slightest, that's impossible!"
Shen Xiao admired Song Qingqi more and more.
As soon as the court was over the next day, the second prince hurried to Qingyun Palace.
Seeing the Second Prince coming, Jin Xin was very surprised and hurried forward to greet him: "How come you have time to come today, Your Highness?"
The Second Prince was anxious, so he didn't say anything more. He just nodded and asked, "Is Madam Chen in the palace?"
Because the court session ended early today, the Second Prince arrived early.
But unfortunately, Song Qingyan had already gone to the Queen's Jinxiu Palace.
Upon learning that Empress Chen had gone to Jinxiu Palace, the Second Prince hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should wait or not.
Jinxin knew that the Second Prince was now following the Crown Prince and had a lot of things to do.
Then she said, "If your Highness the Second Prince has anything to do, please go and do it first. When our queen comes back, I will go to Yanhe Palace to invite you."
"Okay," the Second Prince, who had been anxious all morning, finally calmed down a bit, "Just go to Xingyang Palace to find me."
As for Song Qingyan, she had just returned to the palace yesterday and had to put on some appearances, so she went to the Jinxiu Palace during the good morning time.
But this time she was late.
The Jinxiu Palace was already bustling with activity.
Because the Empress heard that Concubine Yao was pregnant, she went to Longsheng Palace to ask for His Majesty's order to lift Concubine Yao's house arrest.
Concubine Yao is now completely devoted to the Empress.
But he did not dare to say anything to Song Qingyan anymore. He had refuted her once before and was beaten by her. Now, he was confined by the Emperor of Great Chu because of what he said to her.
She was really scared.
After Song Qingyan invited him to sit down, she saw that Concubine Yao's seat had been moved to the bottom of Concubine Lan, and she was even sitting opposite Concubine Wen.
He frowned immediately.
"I heard that Concubine Yao is pregnant?" Song Qingyan looked at the empress, "The empress will be busy again."
"What the Imperial Concubine said is true. Right now in the palace, Concubine Le is pregnant, and Concubine Yao is also pregnant. There are not many people serving Your Majesty."
After saying this, she turned to look at Rugui and Yuegui who were not far away: "You two are still young, you should show your faces in front of His Majesty more often."
When Ru Guiren heard what the queen said, he stood up quickly and said, "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."
[Oh, I never noticed before that this noble man is actually ambitious! ]
[You really know how to read the Queen's expressions! It looks like you are the only one who will sleep with her tonight.]
[I think this Yue Guiren is the same. She is so beautiful, but why doesn't she know how to plan for herself? ]
[Mother, do you think this Yue Guiren doesn't like men? ]
[I saw her hanging out with Le Guiren all day long. Look at the way she looks at mother now. That's love!]
Listening to Lu Xingwan's increasingly outrageous words in her arms, Song Qingyan simply put her to the ground.
He patted her little butt, signaling her that she could move forward.
Lu Xingwan couldn't help but pout and turned to look at her mother.
[Mother, what you did just now is like patting a puppy! ]
【I am not a puppy. 】
Then he turned around and strode out, and Jinyu hurriedly followed him.
For a moment, everyone's attention was drawn to Lu Xingwan.
"I didn't expect that Princess Yong'an would be so well after not seeing her for a few days." The one who spoke first was naturally the Queen, "No wonder Your Majesty likes her so much."
"Even I like her very much."
Song Qingyan did not reply to her, or rather, she was too lazy to reply to her.
Yes, Wanwan is cute, so cute that she needs you to poison her!
At this time, Concubine Yao was also stroking her belly, thinking about something.
Princess Yong'an was favored by His Majesty and given a unique title only because she was favored as the Imperial Consort.
The so-called auspicious sign is nothing more than an excuse made by Your Majesty.
Now I am the first one to be favored in the palace. I think His Majesty will take it to heart after the baby in my belly is born.
It would be even better if I could give birth to a prince.
Concubine Yao had even begun to fantasize about the scene in which her son usurped the crown prince's glory.
Really, fools talk nonsense.
The people in the inner room were still saying flattering words to each other without really meaning it.
Lu Xingwan left the inner room early and arrived at the Jinxiu Palace, where she ran happily in the courtyard.
It was her first time to have fun in the Queen's courtyard!
[Tsk, what is this queen busy with all day long? ]
[Why are there no flowers or plants in the yard? There seems to be only one tree. What kind of tree is it? I don’t know.]
[It’s no wonder that my mother liked her so much in the past. She really looked like a very indifferent person. Now that she is the queen, her courtyard is still so shabby.]
[But this person is really strange. He obviously doesn't care that much about external things, but he still makes small moves to fight for power.]
Lu Xingwan was wandering in the yard when he suddenly saw a large number of ants moving in an orderly manner under a tree as if they were moving something.
Seeing how busy they were, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but stretch out her little hand to poke the little ant in front of her.
Sure enough, a group of chattering sounds came into Lu Xingwan's ears.
"Help! Here comes this little devil boy. Will he trample us to death?"
"The kids here are very naughty. They'll step on us anytime."
"Then you should leave quickly!"
"But I can't move. What I'm carrying is too heavy."
"Hurry up and move it. This sweet thing should be taken to the boss to taste."
Lu Xingwan couldn't help but giggle.
Jinyu couldn't help but bend down to take a look at what was in front of Lu Xingwan. It turned out to be a group of small ants.
Our little princess is so adorable that even a group of little ants can make her so happy.
When Song Qingyan and her group came out, they saw Lu Xingwan squatting under a tree very seriously with a happy smile on his face.
"Yong'an is very active now, so cute." Concubine Lan followed Song Qingyan and said, then she thought of the third princess who was now being raised in her palace, and couldn't help feeling a headache.
"Yes!" Concubine Wen said happily, "The Seventh Princess is about four years old now, and she is very cute."
At this time, Yue Guiren and Le Guiren were huddled not far from the three people, not daring to step forward.
She wanted to go forward and greet the Royal Concubine, but because of the presence of Concubine Lan and Concubine Wen, she did not dare to move forward.
Finally, Song Qingyan noticed the two of them and turned to look at them.
