These past few days, Jun Zechen unexpectedly did not summon any newcomers.
During this period, he only went to the Crown Princess's Qiluan Palace.
Su Jingyao was casually fiddling with the peonies that had just been delivered to the greenhouse. The peonies were blooming extremely beautifully, and the layers of petals looked like clouds in the sky. She loved them very much.
"Master, An Liangdi is here." Miaoyun reported softly.
Su Jingyao chuckled, "She really can't keep her composure."
After saying that, Su Jingyao slowly put down the scissors in her hand, gently patted the remaining water droplets on her hands, and then walked towards the hall slowly.
"I pay my respects to my sister, the concubine." An Jinyan bowed slightly, with a hint of restraint in her voice.
Su Jingyao raised a gentle smile, "Sister, get up and come sit here."
As she spoke, she waved towards An Jinyan, her movements gentle and graceful.
An Jinyan seemed a little uncomfortable because of Su Jingyao's familiarity. She slowly walked to the couch and gently sat down on the other side of the couch.
"Sister, why did you come to my Xiyan Palace today?" Su Jingyao asked with a smile, her voice as sweet as the gurgling of water.
"I and several other newcomers have been in the East Palace for five days, but no one has ever met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess has never taken the initiative to mention us to His Royal Highness. I have no choice but to come and bother Sister Concubine today."
An Jinyan's face showed a trace of anxiety and uneasiness.
Su Jingyao sighed softly and lowered her eyelids. Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly like a small fan, and her face showed helplessness and sadness.
Then, she looked at An Jinyan with heartache and said softly, "Don't worry, sister. I was also ignored by His Highness for a long time. His Highness..."
An Jinyan felt anxious, and she couldn't wait to ask, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"
"I wonder if you knew before entering the Eastern Palace that the Crown Princess was the one His Royal Highness personally sought in marriage. It's natural for her to be saddened by the arrival of a new bride. It's only natural that His Royal Highness has been spending more time with her these past few days."
Su Jingyao spoke slowly, her tone calm and soothing.
"So sister, don't think too much."
Her eyes fell softly on An Jinyan.
An Jinyan frowned, and the smile on her face began to become forced. "Your Highness dotes on the Crown Princess so much, isn't my sister jealous?"
"When I first entered the Eastern Palace, His Highness told me frankly that he and the Crown Princess were in love and told me not to harbor any false thoughts."
There was a hint of melancholy in Su Jingyao's voice.
"Now, I just want to give birth to a royal heir as soon as possible under your humble favor, and fulfill the expectations of your majesty and the empress."
Su Jingyao raised her head slightly and looked into the distance, her face full of helplessness and relief. Her expression seemed to be telling of endless worries.
An Jinyan's heart was surging like waves. She gritted her teeth and was secretly angry.
This Concubine Su is so useless. She has a beautiful face but is so weak!
What a waste of this beautiful appearance!
I didn’t expect that the Crown Princess is actually the apple of His Highness’s eye. When these newcomers entered the palace, the Crown Princess did not recommend them to His Highness, but she has been monopolizing their attention!
How could she accept this!
An Jinyan tried hard to calm down her emotions.
"Sister, you're truly calm, but the sisters naturally can't just sit there and wait for death. The Crown Princess has been monopolizing His Highness. Isn't this unbecoming of a legitimate wife?"
There was a barely perceptible trace of resentment and unwillingness on her face.
Su Jingyao frowned slightly, her beautiful eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and there was deep melancholy on her face.
"This... Sister, don't say that. It's not our place to decide where His Highness wants to go. We have no right to interfere."
There was a hint of helplessness and resentment in her voice.
An Jinyan had a determined look on her face, with a determined light flashing in her eyes. She entered the Eastern Palace to serve His Highness, so naturally she could not let the Crown Princess favor her alone.
"Sister, I came here today to ask for a favor. Only the Crown Princess and I can go to His Highness's Yude Hall. I want to ask you to persuade His Highness. If this continues, I and the other new sisters will be waiting for His Highness every day. I feel so sad that I am almost crying."
There was a hint of pleading in her voice.
The Crown Princess and the Concubine were both on the royal imperial list, so Su Jingyao could go to Yude Hall. Others could not go without the Highness's summons. If they went, the guards would treat them as assassins.
Su Jingyao looked embarrassed. "Sister, although I can go to Yude Hall, how can I easily persuade His Highness?"
"Besides, only His Highness's legal wife can advise His Highness to be fair and impartial. I... am not in a position to do so..."
Her face was full of confusion and helplessness.
"Sister, you are a concubine, and the marriage was granted by His Majesty's imperial decree. The wife is jealous, so I can naturally advise her. When I meet the Queen in a few days, I will definitely speak well of you to her."
An Jinyan said anxiously.
After she entered the Eastern Palace, because of her high status, she could pay her respects to the Queen Mother after sleeping with her.
Su Jingyao sighed deeply. "After His Highness returns to the palace today, I'll go to Yude Hall to take a look. However, I have little influence in His Highness's heart. I'm afraid that not only will His Highness not listen to my advice, but he might even take his anger out on me."
Her face was full of worry and anxiety.
"When my sister was still in the boudoir, I knew she was a model of nobleness, generous and understanding. Today, I owe her a favor. Regardless of the outcome of today's admonition, I must let His Highness know that there are several newcomers in the Eastern Palace who are eagerly awaiting His Highness's mercy."
An Jinyan's voice was full of sincerity.
"Okay, then I'll try it today." Su Jingyao finally made up her mind.
