Reborn Pampered Queen

Feng Jing thought about it later on.

People like them who had lost their power had to rely on money in the end.

And why should he have anything against money?

However, his hundred thousand taels of silver hadn't even been filled with heat when that person came looking for him. That person said that the crown prince's consort was coming to see the imperial concubine today, allowing him to look at her for a bit before throwing out another twenty thousand taels of silver without batting an eye.

This made him curious about the person standing in the courtyard.

What kind of person was he to make a Crown Prince spend so much money?

"Empress …" Aren't I afraid that the sun will get too high and cause people to faint? " Hearing Imperial Concubine Cui's question, Feng Jing, who was used to flattery, immediately welcomed her with a smile. "After all, it's such a hot day and the Crown Prince's wife is dressed so grandly. If she were to pass out from heat stroke, it would be detrimental to your reputation of being kind."

Imperial Concubine Cui looked at Feng Jing with both displeasure and joy. She turned around and walked to the east side and said, "Then let them in."

Jiang Wan, who stood under the sun for an incense stick of time, felt a wave of dizziness because she only ate a little bit of the breakfast and didn't drink any water.

This imperial concubine really knew how to take Qiao Qiao.

In her previous life, when she was the grand imperial concubine, she had never given anyone such a show of authority.

She looked at the silhouette she left in the yard and thought to herself: Didn't they say they found someone to take care of me? She was about to faint, how come no one came to save her?

Just as Jiang Wan was indulging in her fantasies, she heard a summons, "Announce the Crown Prince's consort, Jiang Wan, to meet you ~!"

Thank God!

Feeling on the verge of collapse, Jiang Wan finally heard someone announcing her name.

She composed herself and then started walking. She lowered her head and entered the east side of the main hall.

Imperial Concubine Cui was sitting on her throne, sizing her up.

"Chenqie Jiang Wan greets the imperial concubine." Following the rules of the palace, Jiang Wan sincerely bowed to Imperial Concubine Cui, then laid on the floor motionlessly.

Just when she felt like she was about to fall asleep, Imperial Concubine Cui, who was sitting at the head seat, said faintly, "Stand up."

"Thank you, esteemed Empress." Jiang Wanyi stood up, then lowered her head and stood there.

However, she heard Imperial Concubine Cui say something similar to "Chastity, quiet and leisure, self-humiliation: for the virtue of women" in a long speech.

Jiang Wan listened with a respectful face, constantly warning herself not to be distracted.

After an unknown period of time, someone suddenly ran in to spread the news, "Yesterday, Young Lady Cui Liang from the Western Mountain Palace suddenly had a bellyache and gave birth to a young prefecture lord. Mother and daughter are at peace."

"What did you say?" Imperial Concubine Cui looked nervously at the person reporting the news. "You gave birth to a young prefecture lord?"

He leaned against the throne behind him in a dejected manner.

Although she knew that Cui Liandi had given birth to a daughter in her previous life, Jiang Wan still felt a little surprised by Imperial Concubine Cui's reaction.

"Madam wangfei, if there is nothing else, please kneel." Chief Eunuch Feng Jing, who was standing beside Imperial Concubine Cui, said as he looked at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan bowed respectfully and quickly left the palace.

By the time she was led out of the carriage, Xiao Rui was already waiting for her.

"You're back." As soon as Xiao Rui saw her, her face curved into a smile, and her entire body was filled with joy.

Jiang Wan nodded, stepped on the boarding bench and got on the car.

Just as Xiao Rui was giving orders to return to the Jin King Manor, a light rider rode through the dust towards them.

Jiang Wan was surprised that someone dared to gallop their horse around in these four or nine cities so brazenly, but Xiao Rui, who was standing beside her, clasped her hands and said: "Seventh Prince, I hope you've been well."

Seventh Prince Xiao Rui pulled his horse to a halt beside Xiao Rui's horse carriage, but his eyes looked past Xiao Rui to look at Jiang Wan, who was behind him.

At this moment, Jiang Wan was lowering her head. Her small head was buried under the Seven Zhai title, making him feel extremely unwilling.

Fang Qingqing wasn't someone he was qualified to fight over.

But why couldn't he snatch Jiang Wan away from him? It was all thanks to him taking on the post of fourth rank vice minister of the Board of Justice, so that she could participate in the great ceremony to choose a consort.

Now that he thought about it, he was too naïve. He should have taken her away and let those officials who had nothing to do all day long accuse him of robbing a civilian girl.

Xiao Rui glanced at Xiao Rui, then quietly shifted in the carriage, putting Jiang Wan behind him.

He then pretended to be weak and said, "The sun is rising and I'm running out of strength. Let's not bother with the Seventh Prince …"

Xiao Rui nodded and looked coldly at Xiao Rui's carriage as it moved further and further away.

He thought of how he had angrily gone to court to find his mufei, but was questioned by her as to whether he no longer had any ambitions and only wanted to indulge in women's beauty?

Although Jiang Wan looked like the late Crown Prince's consort, Fang Qingqing, she couldn't bring him substantial benefits like Fang Qingqing.

Due to Jiang Yu, Elder Jiang had already been branded as the son of the Crown Prince. If he were to send another member of the Jiang Clan back, it would be meaningless.

Even in the future, when he competed with Crown Prince Xiao Rui for power, the Jiang family would become a hindrance to him.

Xiao Rui shook the reins in his hands and looked at the majestic palace wall. He swore in his heart that he would become the man who could rule this place!

"Hungry?" Xiao Rui pulled out a box of snacks from nowhere and placed it in Jiang Wan's hand, "Eat a bit of snacks first. When we get back to the palace, we'll get someone to make some good food."

Jiang Wan had an expression of pleasant surprise as she looked at the small box, the snacks inside were actually even more exquisite and meticulous than the one that Xiao Rui gave her last time.

"I had them refine the prescription again, and they made it smaller," Xiao Rui said as she looked lovingly at Jiang Wan, "This way, you can eat one at a time, and you don't have to worry about making up for it."

Jiang Wan held the box of pastries and looked at Xiao Rui with a slightly displeased expression. He had told her about this in his previous life as well …

"What's wrong?" Looking at the dumbstruck Jiang Wan, Xiao Rui asked as she pinched her nose.

"No …." "Nothing …" Feeling that she was about to cry, Jiang Wan immediately lowered her head, and lightly nibbled on the snacks.

Xiao Rui smiled at Jiang Wan, then turned around to look at Xiao Rui, who was still riding on his horse under the palace wall.

Fortunately, he had received the news and knew that Seventh Prince Xiao Rui was also after Jiang Wan. He even reported her name to the great ceremony for the consort selection.

However, he had used a trick of his own to get Imperial Concubine Cui to point Jiang Wan at him, making Xiao Rui's plan a wasted effort.
