Mu Xueyan was a little disappointed. Ling Moyan, Ning Jingwan's old lover, ran Ruyi Casino, so she "accidentally" mentioned Ruyi Theater Company in front of her. The two names have the same name. Let's see if Jingping Wan will lead from here to the other.
Don't you feel guilty? Who knows that Ning Jingwan doesn't know whether she really didn't understand or pretended not to understand. She still had a casual expression.
Mu Xueyan could only say: "Yes, sister!"
Jingjing Wan said calmly: "If there is nothing else, please step back first!"
When Mu Xueyuan heard this, she was about to turn around, but suddenly she stopped talking. Jing Jingwan looked in her eyes and said, "What's wrong?"
Mu Xueyan smiled and said: "It's like this. In the past, my sister loved her sisters and didn't have to come to say hello to her every day. But my sister is still the princess after all. It's related to royal etiquette. Those who know it are that my sister likes to be quiet. Those who don't know that she likes peace and quiet.
I think that the King's Mansion is not going up or down. If this continues, it will eventually damage the reputation of the prince. Now that my sister is back, I think it's better for me to restore the custom of greeting my sister every day. Doesn't this sound good to me?"
Mu Xueyuan's words were impeccable, and every word was taken into consideration for the prince's reputation and the princess's dignity. Jing Jingwan knew that in the eyes of the women in the palace, she was the princess herself, and now she was favored by the prince, which no one else had before.
He took her seriously, but it was different now. The prince made no secret of his love for her. Who wouldn't dare to take a high look at her?
Even Mu Xueyuan has changed her strategy. Asking for greetings every day can show that she, Concubine Xue, knows how to advance and retreat and knows etiquette. In the eyes of others, the most important thing is in the eyes of Prince Jing, she, Concubine Xue, respects the princess from the bottom of her heart. Secondly,
You can further deepen your intimate relationship with yourself!
But on the surface, she is virtuous, gentle, and reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with her. Between the lines, she is thinking about herself as the princess.
Ning Jingwan secretly sighed, Feng Junhan was really destined to be the heir apparent. Prince Jing's palace was no different from the emperor's harem, and women used all kinds of methods to compete for favor. Mu Xueyan was flexible and flexible, good at sizing up the situation and adapting to changes!
Jingjing Wan said calmly: "Let's take a compromise approach. Come when you have something to do, and don't come if you have nothing to do. I haven't been in good health recently and I don't like the crowds and noise!"
When Mu Xueyuan heard this, her heart suddenly trembled, but a look of concern and worry immediately appeared on her face, "Sister, I am not feeling well? I will send the imperial doctor over to check my sister's pulse!"
Jingjing Wan shook her head, "No need, just rest more and you'll be fine!"
Mu Xueyan was still uneasy. Looking at Ning Jing's sleepy expression, her heart became sinking, right? I heard that pregnant women always have this listless look, how could she feel relieved?
Mu Xueyan insisted: "Let's take a look. My sister is a royal concubine and has a body of gold. You can't neglect your body like this!" She turned around and ordered the maid behind her: "Yunxiang, go to the residence of Imperial Physician Wu and ask Imperial Physician Wu to come over and treat you."
Sister Princess, take your pulse!”
Yunxiang was about to leave, but Jingjing Wan raised her hand to stop her, "It's okay if I say it's okay, don't worry about it!" She smiled coldly in her heart, looking at Mu Xueyuan's expression, it was just because she was worried that she was pregnant!
She knew very well whether she was pregnant or not. She used contraception almost every time she was with Feng Junhan. The current situation was unknown and she did not want to give birth to Feng Junhan's child for the time being!
Seeing that Jing Jing Wan was a little impatient, Mu Xueyan said considerately: "In that case, sister, take a good rest, and sister, please leave!"
★★★
Piaoxueyuan.
Mu Xueyan's fingers turned white as she held the white porcelain cup tightly, and she remained silent. Yunxiang looked at the young lady worriedly.
The prince dotes on the princess so much in front of everyone. The young lady will feel so sad when she sees it. The prince also personally told the young lady that the princess’s birthday banquet should be held in a dignified and grand manner. The young lady loves the prince deeply, but now she is doing her best.
How can it be embarrassing for a lady to hold a birthday party for another woman?
Li Xianghui sat aside. She understood better than anyone else how Sister Mu felt in her heart right now, and she advised her: "Sister Mu, the princess is so favored by the prince, we must not act rashly!" No one can touch the woman whom the prince currently loves most, a man.
It's easy to like the new and hate the old, one moment at a time, thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river. Maybe when the prince's freshness has passed and the princess has fallen out of favor, it will be much easier to take action again.
Mu Xueyan's eyes were cold and she said word by word: "I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about her being pregnant!"
Li Xianghui was surprised for a while, her eyes were shocked, "Why did sister say this?"
Mu Xueyan said slowly: "I just went to visit her in Jingyuan. She has been listless and weak in speech. She didn't let us go to greet her. She said she likes peace and quiet, but she didn't let me send the imperial doctor to check her pulse!" Although she has never said anything!
I have never been pregnant, but how can a woman in the royal family not be this sensitive?
Li Xianghui pondered: "Sister, do you mean to suspect that she wants to hide the fact that she is pregnant?" There are many internal fights between wealthy families, and women use pregnancy to compete for favor or attack opponents. When a woman is pregnant, she will become someone else's.
Women have thorns in their flesh and are hard to guard against. Therefore, in order to prevent others from being framed, some smart women hide the pregnancy matter as long as they can. After all, the prince's favor cannot be guaranteed. Pregnancy in ten months is a long process with long nights and many dreams. Who can guarantee that it will not happen?
Something unexpected happened? If Ning Jingwan is really pregnant, this possibility cannot be ruled out!
Mu Xueyan nodded, "For such a long time, she was the only woman beside the prince. Furthermore, the prince returned to the capital to pay his respects to the emperor, queen, and empress dowager, and left her to rest in the quiet garden. He also held a grand birthday banquet for her. This
All in all, apart from the fact that she is pregnant, I can’t think of any other reason!”
When Yunxiang heard what the young lady said, she thought it was reasonable and nodded affirmatively, "The young lady is right, the prince's treatment of the princess is indeed very different from before!"
Li Xianghui comforted Mu Xueyan and said, "Sister, don't worry too much. Maybe it was a long journey and the princess is sleepy. If she is really pregnant, it is a royal matter and she can't hide it for long even if she wants to!"
After Li Xianghui finished speaking, he fell into deep thought. The royal family valued the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines, so naturally they would not let Prince Jing's eldest son become a concubine. Now that she has finally become a concubine, it would be justifiable for the princess to give birth to her eldest son!
Mu Xueyuan's heart could not relax. To put it another way, even if Tranquil Wan was not pregnant, the prince's love for her still made her feel stuck in her throat. What an irony, her husband ordered her to prepare for another woman's birthday.
Even though she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction at the banquet, she still had to show her magnanimity!
If Ning Jingwan is really pregnant, her position in the prince's heart will definitely be even more prosperous. This is definitely not a good thing for her. She absolutely does not want to see the princess giving birth to the prince's child!
Li Xianghui looked at the hatred in Sister Mu's eyes. After the initial shock passed, her thoughts gradually calmed down.
Her ideas are somewhat different from those of Sister Mu. The royal family has always had a distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines. For example, the emperor's eldest son should be born to his first wife. No matter how favored the concubines are, it is difficult for them to have the chance to give birth to the eldest son and eldest daughter!
As long as the prince does not appoint a concubine, they will never see the hope of giving birth to an heir. Now, if the princess can really give birth to the prince's eldest son or eldest daughter, she will be born as a concubine. They
These concubines can be regarded as clearing away the clouds and seeing the blue sky!
Li Xianghui knew very well that Sister Mu wanted to compete for the position of princess, but she was different. She understood better than anyone else that the position of princess was either Jingjing Wan's or Sister Mu's. There was no way it could be her. She, Li Xianghui's natal family
She can't be compared with these two powerful families. It is already the best for her to seek the position of concubine based on the wealth of her son!
If the princess is really pregnant, it will be a good thing for her. She and Sister Mu have the same position, but also have their own positions!
But Li Xianghui would never show it in front of Sister Mu. Instead, he said with a worried look: "The matter is still unknown, sister, don't bother yourself!"
Mu Xueyan said: "No, I will always be upset if I don't get the exact news!"
Li Xianghui also wanted to know whether the princess was pregnant, "Sister, I have a way to find out once I try it!"
Mu Xueyan's eyes lit up, "What can I do?" Li Xianghui always helps her with clever ideas and strategies, and he truly deserves to be her behind-the-scenes strategist!
Li Xianghui said: "My sister wanted to ask the princess to have a doctor, but the princess refused. She is still the princess, and there is nothing we can do. Why don't we go to the palace and ask the queen to send the palace doctor on the grounds that the princess is not feeling well?"
Visiting the princess, how can we hide whether the princess is pregnant or not?"
Mu Xueyuan suddenly realized, "Okay!" As long as her aunt sends someone over to check, she will know that if Jing Jing Wan is really pregnant, she can't hide it even if she wants to. The top priority is to find out this matter first. When she thinks that Jing Jing Wan may be pregnant,
, her fingers were so tight that they turned white, and her lips were biting tightly!
★★★
In the past few days, Ningjing Wan's Jingyuan has been bustling with activity. There has been an endless stream of concubines paying their respects and giving gifts. Ningjing Wan has always kept Linlang out of the way on the grounds that she is unfit to see guests!
On this day, Linlang came in and said, "Miss, another guest is here!"
Jingjing Wan didn't even raise her head, "Can't you just go and kill it?"
Linlang said: "It's Princess Jiang and the princess who are here!"
Jing Jingwan put down the book in her hand and sighed. Feng Junhan's concubines can stand in the way, but these two people still need to give some face, "Change my clothes for me!"
Linlang hurriedly said: "Yes, Miss!"
Linlang directed the maids to put Ning Jing Wan into complicated palace clothes, but Ning Jing Wan stopped her, "Don't go to such trouble, just the purple dress!"
Princess Jiang and Jiang Xinyue were already waiting in the front hall, and a maid respectfully served them tea.
When Princess Jiang saw Ning Jing Wan coming in wearing a fluttering purple gown, she was as graceful as Ping Ting, as beautiful as a girl in a painting, and she secretly thought to herself that this girl is getting more and more beautiful.
When Jiang Xinyue saw Jing Jing Wan, she stood up and said in a joyful voice, "Jing Wan!"
It stands to reason that Jingwan is now the Royal Princess Jing, and the Jiang family is a family of ministers. They should treat Jingwan as a monarch and ministers, but the shadow of Jingwan's arrogant and arrogant behavior in Prince Jiang's mansion is still there, so they should pay tribute to her.
She still has some grudges in her heart when performing the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and cannot be frank. Since Jingwan herself doesn't care, she should still address her as Jingwan, which also looks cordial!
