Lin Qingrou gradually fell asleep with such an uneasy mood, and soon it was the next morning.

When Lin Qingrou arrived at Tang Yingqian's yard, Ji Weiwei was already waiting at the door.

Even though she was reluctant, Lin Qingrou still had to do the ceremony.

"Meet Concubine Ji."

Ji Weiwei chuckled, looked at Lin Qingrou and waved her hand.

"No need to be polite, you've come early. The princess will be out soon. You're so respectful to the princess, I'll have to say a few good words for you in front of the princess."

The irony in Ji Weiwei's words was too strong, so Lin Qingrou naturally understood it.

This was because she came too late, and Ji Weiwei seemed to have been waiting for a long time, so she naturally felt a little unbalanced.

He also accused her of being disrespectful to the princess, and he really tried every means to make her life miserable.

Lin Qingrou explained, "Sister, please don't laugh at me. I felt a little uncomfortable when I got up early this morning. I rested for a while and felt better before going out. That's why I was a little late. I didn't mean to be disrespectful to the princess."

Ji Weiwei didn't seem to care about Lin Qingrou's explanation and smiled indifferently.

"Sister, you should save this for later and tell the princess. As for whether the princess will believe it or not, that is not something you can control."

Lin Qingrou was about to retort when the door in front of her suddenly opened.

Caiyun walked out of the inner room and bowed to Ji Weiwei, "This servant greets Concubine Ji."

Concubine Ji nodded slightly and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, Miss Caiyun, did the princess let us in?"

Caiyun nodded when she heard this, "Your Highness, Concubine Ji, that's right, Princess, please come in."

Tang Yingqian was currently sitting on the main seat in the main hall, waiting to meet the two men.

As soon as they entered the room, they bowed according to the rules, "Greetings to the princess."

Seeing this, Tang Yingqian hurriedly said, "Sister Ji, please stand up quickly. You are too heavy to perform such a grand ceremony. Caiyun, go and help Sister Ji up and sit next to me."

"Yes, princess."

Caiyun took the order and left, helping Ji Weiwei to sit down next to Tang Yingqian.

Ji Weiwei smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess. You don't have to be so nervous. Doctor Ding said that my pregnancy is very stable and there will be no problems. It is my duty to pay my respects to you. Today is the first time I pay my respects to you formally, so I should be polite."

Tang Yingqian smiled when she heard this, "Sister is really well-educated and well-mannered. Not only the prince, but even I like you very much. Sister, you don't have to be so polite. We are all close to the prince. Just call me sister. Let's get along well in the future."

Tang Yingqian said this, gently patting the back of Ji Weiwei's hand to show her closeness.

The two of them put on a good show in front of Lin Qingrou, pretending that they had never met before.

Ji Weiwei received Tang Yingqian's signal and naturally cooperated very well.

"Thank you, sister. You are so gentle and virtuous. I am willing to get close to you."

The two of them chatted back and forth, paying no attention to Lin Qingrou who was still kneeling on the ground, as if this person did not exist.

When Lin Qingrou saw the two of them talking happily, she felt something was not right. If the two of them got along so harmoniously, she would be the one to suffer.

Lin Qingrou had been observing the two of them carefully, trying to see whether they really got along well or were just maintaining a superficial peace.

Lin Qingrou understood Tang Yingqian. To put it bluntly, she was not very smart, otherwise they would not have been fooled by her in the first place.

Tang Yingqian is not a hypocritical person, but it is hard to say about Ji Weiwei.

However, Lin Qingrou was a little confused. Tang Yingqian liked Xiao Jingyi so much, but when she saw Ji Weiwei who was pregnant with Xiao Jingyi's child, she was not angry at all. She was so considerate and caring, and greeted her with a smile.

In Lin Qingrou's opinion, this was a very incredible thing.

In her opinion, liking someone means wanting to possess him. You will be crazy jealous of everyone around him and only want him to belong to you. This is normal.

However, Lin Qingrou did not have such feelings towards Xiao Jingyi. It was just that in her current situation, she had to rely on Xiao Jingyi.

The reason why she was against Ji Weiwei was simply because the two of them had never gotten along, and they were now in a competitive relationship.

If Lin Qingrou wants to gain fame through her son, she must first defeat her strong rival Ji Weiwei.

Lin Qingrou was still thinking about how to sow discord between the two and reap the benefits herself.

Before I could figure out what was going on, I realized my legs were numb from kneeling so hard, and I felt like I couldn't hold on any longer.

Lin Qingrou thought that the two were talking at the moment and no one noticed her, so she prepared to move secretly to relieve the fatigue in her legs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Qingrou moved, she was discovered by Tang Yingqian.

Tang Yingqian's expression changed, and she said to Lin Qingrou, "I only asked Sister Ji to stand up, but not Aunt Lin. Aunt Lin, please follow the rules."

It was obvious that what Tang Yingqian said to Lin Qingrou, both in her attitude and in her choice of words, was completely opposite to her attitude towards Ji Weiwei. They were simply two extremes.

Tang Yingqian ignored Lin Qingrou since she entered the room. Lin Qingrou was still hoping for the best, thinking that Tang Yingqian didn't hate her as much as she imagined, and that she might still remember the relationship between them.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingrou was overthinking. Tang Yingqian ignored her just now just to give her a warning and let her suffer a little first.

Lin Qingrou then realized that although Tang Yingqian had been talking to Ji Weiwei, she had been staring at her out of the corner of her eyes, always monitoring whether she was observing etiquette.

Lin Qingrou felt very aggrieved after being scolded by Tang Yingqian. Lin Qingrou didn't have any objection to Tang Yingqian's treatment of her. What made her unhappy was that Tang Yingqian treated her and Ji Weiwei differently.

It was obvious that both of them were pregnant, and Ji Weiwei was too delicate to perform the ceremony.

Why did it change when it came to her? She had been kneeling for so long but Tang Yingqian was still not satisfied and asked her to know some rules.

"Princess, I just want to change my posture. I am not being disrespectful to you. You want me to learn the rules and I have no complaints. It's just that Concubine Ji can get preferential treatment, but I have to follow the rules. Isn't this a bit unfair? You said that Concubine Ji is pregnant and it is not appropriate to perform etiquette. I am also pregnant with the prince's child, so why do I have to kneel all the time? Don't you think this is unfair?"

Tang Yingqian sneered in her heart when she heard this. She still understood Lin Qingrou after all. After these actions just now, Lin Qingrou really couldn't help herself.

Logically speaking, she was the princess and she set the rules for Lin Qingrou, a concubine, so no one could find fault with her.

But if Lin Qingrou just endured it obediently, it would seem that she was a little intolerant.
