Today's supporting actress is also showing off her acting skills

Chapter 400 Showing Loyalty

It's just that Jin Changying didn't expect that she and the fifth concubine were just a whim, so Zhang Zong relied on their power to dominate the mansion.

Then Jin Changying left the imperial capital, and the fifth prince and concubine stayed in the palace. Naturally, it was better to watch Zhang Zongyi muddy the water in Zhennanhou's mansion, or to help her overtly and secretly. In today's situation, the fifth prince and concubine have contributed a lot.

But Zhang Zongyi has tasted the sweetness in the past few months, so he is naturally more loyal to the fifth prince. The princess has done something.

However, Zhang Zongyi is a woman with short-sightedness after all. For her, the fifth prince's concubine has another identity, that is, a love rival. Even though she has been married for a long time, she still can't forget how much she once envied the fifth prince's concubine. envy.

Until now, her affection for the fifth prince still hasn't diminished, but love and hate intertwined, so how could she be willing to be used by the fifth prince and concubine.

Her life was ruined by the fifth prince, she would rather die with these people than watch them climb to the top step by step.

And Zhou Zhao's broken leg was just a prologue. Not only did she want to take revenge on Zhou Zhao, but everyone in the Zhennan Hou Mansion couldn't escape. She couldn't take revenge on the fifth prince, but she could take revenge on the people around him.

Strong jealousy drove Zhang Zongyi to do one crazy thing after another.

In the past few months since the fifth prince left Beijing, Zhang Zongyi seemed to be on good terms with the fifth prince and concubine, and was willing to do his best for the fifth prince concubine. In fact, she had been making plans for herself. She was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally waited When the fifth prince returned to Beijing.

She knew the time had come.

One day before the fifth prince returned to Beijing, Zhang Zongyi, who received the letter, entered the palace to meet the fifth prince and concubine.

"Zongyi sees the empress, the empress is blessed and safe." Zhang Zongyi walked into the hall with small steps, and bowed respectfully to the fifth prince and concubine.

With a little makeup on her face, she looks much more pleasing to the eye than before, and she is also more energetic. It can be seen that in the past few months, with the care of the fifth prince and concubine, she has lived a very good life in Zhennan Hou Mansion.

"It's Zong Yi who is here, sit down quickly, why are you being so polite with me." The fifth prince and concubine said that she was not polite, but she was not very enthusiastic, she just ordered the maids around her to serve tea.

Zhang Zongyi blessed his body and sat down on the lower head of the fifth prince and concubine.

The relationship between the two has developed rapidly in the past few months. The fifth prince and concubine already regards Zhang Zongyi as a handkerchief, so it goes without saying that he attaches great importance to her—of course, Zhang Zongyi thinks so on his own initiative, but No one knows what the five princes and concubines are thinking.

"Why did you come to the palace to look for me today?" The fifth concubine sat upright, with a faint smile on her lips, looking at Zhang Zongyi kindly.

Zhang Zongyi gave the maid beside him a look, and the maid hurriedly lowered her head and walked to the center of the hall with a wooden box in her hand. Then Zhang Zongyi smiled and said to the fifth prince and concubine: "Go back to your mother, Zong Yi I heard that His Highness will return to Beijing tomorrow. Yesterday, my mother made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes with dried osmanthus petals. Zong Yi tasted the fragrance and thought that His Highness and His Majesty would like it, so he sent it to His Majesty. Empress, don't be disgusted."

"Oh?" The fifth concubine looked at Zhang Zongyi inexplicably when she heard the words, stretched her neck with great interest, and said, "Osmanthus cake? Speaking of which, I may not have eaten it for a long time, Nanny Fang .”

Nanny Fang walked down the steps, took the wooden box from the handmaid, and presented it in front of the fifth prince and concubine. The fifth prince and concubine stretched out her armored hand and opened the wooden box, a strong scent of sweet-scented osmanthus came out. , as expected, the fragrance was overflowing, the eyes of the Fifth Prince's Concubine lit up slightly, and she said with a smile: "From the smell, I know that this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is extraordinary, and I would like to thank Zong Yi."

"Your Majesty, the same sect, why are you being polite? There are still many sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. When Your Highness returns to Beijing tomorrow, your Majesty can enjoy them with His Highness." Zhang Zongyi smiled implicitly at the fifth prince and concubine, but he mentioned the fifth prince again.

The Fifth Prince's concubine heard that Zhang Zongyi had mentioned the Fifth Prince many times, and her eyes flickered. She naturally understood that Zhang Zongyi's trip was not just for the purpose of giving osmanthus cakes. As for what it was, she didn't know. He hurriedly asked Zhang Zongyi, but pretended not to understand.

The fifth prince and concubine closed the opened lid again, and the other mother waved her hand, saying: "That's right, then let's enjoy it together after His Highness returns to Beijing, you can keep it, mother."

Regardless of what Zhang Zongyi mentioned about the fifth prince, the fifth prince's concubine was not in a hurry. Even if she still had unresolved feelings for the fifth prince, if that was really the case, the fifth prince's concubine would have to admire Zhang Zongyi. After knowing such facts, it is really not easy to be able to give up on the Fifth Prince.

"Yes." Nanny Fang blessed her body, and then stepped back to serve the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

The fifth prince and concubine didn't seem to understand Zhang Zongyi's meaning, she just greeted Zhang Zongyi to drink tea with a smile, and then talked about family affairs with Zhang Zongyi, without any intention of mentioning the fifth prince.

Seeing that the fifth prince and concubine didn't go on the road, Zhang Zongyi couldn't help feeling a little anxious. If the fifth prince and concubine didn't take over, wouldn't she have come in vain?
Zhang Zongyi thought for a while, but still couldn't help it, and took the initiative to say: "Speaking of which, His Royal Highness has been away for several months. Your Majesty must miss His Highness very much."

Seeing Zhang Zongyi, the fifth concubine couldn't hold back anymore, she smiled lightly in her heart, but she looked happy on the surface, and said: "Yes, Your Highness has been here for too long, speaking of this palace and His Highness I haven't seen you for a long time, His Highness will return to Beijing tomorrow, it's really great."

Zhang Zongyi has been with the fifth prince and concubine for so long, and her ability to perceive words and emotions is not weak, so she can't see that, in fact, the fifth prince's concubine's affection for the fifth prince does not seem to be as deep as others think.

However, the fifth concubine loves to act in front of others, but Zhang Zongyi can't say anything, just laughed along, and then said with some concern: "Oh, I haven't seen you for so many days, and they say that a little farewell is better than a newlywed, but this man, as long as If you don't pay attention to him, you will be outside... Don't worry about your mother, Zong Yi is just worried about her, and doesn't talk about it casually..." Zhang Zongyi stopped in the middle of speaking, as if he was afraid of being punished look like.

Seeing Zhang Zongyi's appearance, the Fifth Prince's Concubine also wanted to know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd. Although Zhang Zongyi had been very loyal to her these days and obeyed her orders, but because the Fifth Prince The relationship between the fifth prince and concubine Zhang Zongyi had an additional layer of estrangement, and now Zhang Zongyi took the initiative to mention the fifth prince, so the fifth prince and concubine had to guard against it.

"It's okay, I know you have no bad intentions." The Fifth Prince waved her hand nonchalantly, and then asked: "However, what Zong Yi means is..."
