When Consort Qing sat on the throne and saw this scene, she realized that things were not as they seemed.
The son of his own sister, Jiang Jinglin, the heir of the Marquis of De'an, is a headache for the entire Marquis of De'an family.
Fortunately, with Princess Qi Ya and Qiao Yang protecting him, his nephew didn't do anything too outrageous; at most, he was just a spoiled brat.
What's going on now? Jiang Jinglin is actually bowing down to Qiao Yuchen. It's really strange. Is he standing up for his second sister?
Thinking of this, he glanced at his second sister, Madam Qiao, who was sitting below.
Her appearance is upsetting.
She became the general's wife, but was completely controlled by the concubines in the mansion. What a waste of such a good identity.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw his daughter, Princess Honglian, sitting below.
Just then, her daughter also looked at Qiao Yuchen. Could it be that she still hasn't given up?
No, absolutely not.
Thinking of her daughter being a princess of a nation, and thinking of all the things that had happened, if it weren't for the old emperor's suppression, and if Qiao Yuchen weren't from the General's Mansion, she wouldn't have let him get away unscathed.
She glanced at the empty seat next to Qiao Yuchen and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Chen Siyuan.
A first-rank imperial consort?
very good!
Princess Honglian's gaze kept drifting towards that direction.
Seeing Jiang Jinglin walk over and see him talking to Qiao Yuchen, his expression wasn't too good, and it seemed they were quite familiar with each other.
Qiao Yuchen showed impatience, but he also gave Jiang Jinglin face.
Maybe......
Seeing this, it seems like there is hope.
As he was thinking, he saw the direction Chen Siyuan had gone and seemed to understand something.
She picked up her glass, took a sip, and placed it on the corner of the table.
As soon as this action was completed, a palace maid who had been standing there quickly retreated and left.
This is the imperial palace.
Anyone who can gain a foothold in the palace must have a few people on their side.
Qiao Yuchen's people outside the palace can arrange their own people in the palace. Princess Honglian, as a princess, lives in the palace year-round. Apart from Princess Qiya, which of the real princesses in the palace is not shrewd? They have already found their teams and are just waiting for an opportunity to show their skills.
Princess Honglian remained unperturbed, continuing to squat in her high and mighty position, observing everything around her.
However, she started drinking more frequently.
Even if someone from a small, insignificant place is granted the title of Lady of the First Rank, what difference does it make?
There's no reason why she can't get anyone she wants.
I used to think I couldn't do anything about Qiao Yuchen, but now, hmph!
Why bother doing it yourself to control a woman?
......
Not long after Chen Siyuan left because she needed to urinate, a palace maid came over.
"This servant greets the First-Rank Lady."
Chen Siyuan looked at the other person. The palace maid was not very old. She walked directly towards her and bowed.
Whose side is she on?
The young palace maid, unfazed by Chen Siyuan's gaze, reached out, causing the flowers that had been in full bloom before her to wither. Upon seeing this, Chen Siyuan seemed to know whose people the maid belonged to.
"Madam, this way please."
Chen Siyuan glanced in the direction the palace maid was pointing; what keen observation skills!
She actually knew she needed to urinate.
Chen Siyuan didn't think much of it and went along.
At this point, Chen Siyuan was not truly at ease.
She knew this was the right path, but whether this person was Qiao Yuchen's man was still uncertain. What the other party was thinking, and what awaited her, no one could see clearly until the moment it happened.
Soon, Chen Siyuan relieved herself with the little palace maid and felt completely refreshed.
Nothing happened during that time.
The palace maid escorted Chen Siyuan all the way to the vicinity of the main hall before she left.
Chen Siyuan glanced at it, said nothing, and continued walking forward. The important thing was that after passing through that small corridor, she would reach the main hall.
Chen Siyuan was lost in thought when the behavior of the three palace maids beside her caught her attention.
A younger palace maid was pushed to the ground, and two older palace maids stood by, ready to attack her as well.
Such scenes are quite common, not only in the palace, but also frequently in the backyards of wealthy families.
It also happened at the General's Mansion. Chunping was kind at the time, and afterwards that person gave her a sachet that would bring death as a return gift.
hehe--
Chen Siyuan didn't want to get involved in other people's business, and they happened to be on the side of the road she was going to pass by, so it seemed unlikely that she wouldn't have seen them.
Chen Siyuan really did just walk away like that.
As she walked by, the three palace maids were immediately stunned.
What's going on?
hehe--
She couldn't understand such a clumsy trick.
Chen Siyuan thought this was too childish, did they really think she was a country woman who didn't know anything?
She sat down and saw the man still drinking with Qiao Yuchen.
The other person, however, seemed to sober up immediately, and while holding a wine glass, fawned, "Sister-in-law?"
"Who's your sister-in-law?" Qiao Yuchen's words immediately changed Jiang Jinglin's expression.
"A first-rank lady, a first-rank lady."
"Alright, you've had your drink, you can go back now!" Qiao Yuchen said in a condescending tone.
Jiang Jinglin didn't care about saving face and quickly ran away.
Chen Siyuan glanced at the person who left, "Who was that person?"
"Jiang Jinglin, the heir apparent of the Marquis of De'an".
"Jiang Jinglin?" That's Princess Honglian's cousin... Suddenly, a thought flashed into my mind. I tried to recall the time, wondering if I was just imagining things. Then I glanced at Princess Honglian, who was in a superior position, and saw the direction she was looking in. I then saw an old palace maid, Xu Mama, move away.
