Xia Yan and others came forward to greet the queen. The queen was over forty years and did not look very old when she was well maintained. She was always in a high position but did not have the aura of being arrogant. Perhaps she was not favored. Only the emperor's respect was the same as the son of the prince. At first glance, she looked no different from ordinary women in the official family. She smiled and made Xia Yan and the others stand up with a very kind and kind expression.

Concubine Xian is a little younger, looks cute and charming, and has a kind of innocence that is ignorant of the world. No wonder she gave birth to a son with an average qualification like the fourth prince Xuan Lang. Concubine De is older and dignified and virtuous, and deserves the word "de". The fifth prince Xuan Hua's reputation in the court is also very stable. She is loyal, filial, brave and resolute, and at least a virtuous person.

Concubine Shu was born with beautiful and charming. If Concubine Chen was the misty rain in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, Concubine Shu was a bright color on the foreign grassland. She was also very willful and arrogant. Princess Heyi inherited her beauty and her temper, and was also willful and domineering.

The most gentle and beautiful person sitting next to the queen is Concubine Chen. If the queen, the other concubines and some noble people in the palace are like an ordinary Jiangnan girl, without any slight sculpting spirit, sitting here is incompatible with the palace, as if bringing this area into the misty rain of Jiangnan.

Jiang Ruan smiled and bowed down, but her heart seemed to be stuck at that moment. The people on this house were all old acquaintances from the previous life, but she was too humble to see these concubines from time to time. However, Concubine Chen was an exception.

Not only did she not laugh at her or belittle her like other palace concubines, she often called her to Simeng Palace to talk. Concubine Chen was gentle in character and was Xuan Li's biological mother. In her previous life, Jiang Ruan regarded her as her close friend and sister in her heart. She was a trustworthy relative in the cold palace.

However, what this Concubine Chen did behind her back made her feel like a joke in the end. She was like a vicious beauty snake, with a fatal trap hidden in her tenderness. She and Xuan Li were both human beings, completely cold and useless, and then abandoned and killed them.

Concubine Chen looked at Xia Yan and the others and suddenly said, "You are Miss Jiang, come and let me see it."

The queen was stunned and looked at Jiang Ruan thoughtfully. Jiang Li looked at Jiang Ruan unwillingly, unable to hide her jealousy in her eyes. Jiang Dan lowered her head and did not dare to raise her eyes. Jiang Susu's face froze, as if she was a little disbelief. Jiang Ruan slowly raised her head, and when she looked up, she put away the smile at the corner of her lips. When she raised her head, she had a slightly cold face.

Concubine Chen looked at her carefully, but she didn't seem to see her unhappy expression. She smiled and said, "It's really a beautiful child."

Seeing this, all the ladies around began to whisper. Dong Ying'er, who was sitting next to her, was a little uneasy. She remembered that her mother had said before that Concubine Chen was determined to choose a concubine for the Eighth Prince, and she couldn't help but feel worried about Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan said lightly: "Thank you for your misunderstanding, I am ashamed of being aware of it."

Her words were not warm, and she didn't even have basic respect, and she had only a faint resistance. This resistance gesture sounded softly in Concubine Chen's ears. After a moment, her smile became more and more friendly: "I wonder if Mrs. Jiang, can Miss have a marriage?"

Xia Yan's body stiffened, and a nameless fire suddenly popped up in his heart. Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan again! Who is this Concubine Chen? The most favored woman in the palace now, the first thing he wants to ask about is Jiang Ruan, not Jiang Susu. Could it be that these people are blind? Jiang Ruansheng's charming face is obviously not the master of An Sheng.

However, even though she thought about it thousands of times, she was not at all visible on her face. She still replied humbly: "When I say to the Empress, Ruan Niang is on the eleventh day of this year, and she has never promised her."

"Ah, that's good." Concubine Chen's beautiful face smiled even more sincerely. The white and smooth face seemed to be covered with a faint smoke, and her emotions were beyond my mind. She said incrediblely: "A child of this lovely person should not be able to marry casually. I look at him who likes Miss Jiang very much, and I really want to marry her in person."

This was too explicit, and the wives around could not help but show a complicated expression of surprise and understanding on their faces. Xian Fei looked at Jiang Ruan with interest. Concubine De remained silent and the queen smiled. Concubine Shu couldn't help but speak, "What is Sister Chen saying? This marriage depends on the lady who likes her. Could it be that Sister Chen is also old and loves to do things these ice talents do?"

Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen have never been against each other. Concubine Shu can't stand the appearance of Concubine Chen being a little bit outside the world. Of course, more importantly, she is jealous of Concubine Chen having a stunning and stunning son like Xuan Li. The one who crawled out of her belly was a daughter, which means that no matter how favored she was, she would not have a son as the crown prince. Although the fifth prince also called a lot, Concubine De was not favored, and it could even be considered very low-key. Compared to the one whom Shu hated the most was Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen would choke on anything that Concubine Chen said.

After hearing Concubine Shu's words, Concubine Chen was not angry, but just looked at Jiang Ruan without saying a word. Her facial features were soft, and she looked at someone with such gentle smile. I don't know, but I just thought that she really loved Jiang Ruan and couldn't put it down.

Jiang Ruan's eyes were slightly lowered and she did not look at Concubine Chen. Outsiders were shy when they saw her, but no one knew that she was in a rush of hatred. In just a few quarters of an hour, it was like a master's fight. The lady present could not see anything, but only Jiang Ruan himself knew what she was thinking. Concubine Chen's gaze was not gentle, it was clearly the poisonous snake that had taken a fancy to the prey.

She has a way to deal with it.

Xia Yan felt extremely depressed when Concubine Chen was so "loved" by Jiang Ruan, and the answers followed were a little perfunctory, and he still showed some reluctance. If it were the case, but when Master Huijue said before, everyone doubted the virtuous and generous she had pretended to have in the past. At this moment, everyone was even more sure of her actions. Mrs. Shangshu was actually a sweet and bitter person. Otherwise, Concubine Chen would have asked Jiang Ruan specifically, why did she not look very happy, and even a little unhappy.

Concubine Chen asked a few more questions, and the queen waved to let Jiang Ruan retreat. Jiang Ruangang sat down with Xia Yan in the seat. Dong Ying'er stood up and walked to Jiang Ruan to sit down, whispering: "I was so worried about you just now, are you okay?" After that, he was a little impressed: "Sister Ruan, you are so bold. Just now, you didn't feel nervous when you talk to the Concubine. If it were me, I would be so scared that I could not speak."

Jiang Ruan smiled: "There is nothing scary. I did nothing and would not be punished."

Dong Ying'er hesitated and said, "But... the Imperial Concubine seems to like you very much. Does she want to point you to the Eighth Highness?" Realizing that this was a little overreached, Dong Ying'er looked at Jiang Ruan uneasyly. Seeing that Jiang Ruan's expression had not changed, she felt relieved and said, "Imperial Concubine rarely cares about people so much on weekdays. Today, she told you for a while. Sister Ruan, don't blame me for being too careless. I'm afraid that all the ladies here now have the same thoughts as me. If that's the case, what should you do?"
