Chu Huaixi walked up to her and smiled faintly: "Today is Aunt Han's big day, so of course I have to stay by your side and serve you."

Han Nian glanced at the two of them in a daze: "Don't you hate me?"

"What are you talking about, Aunt Han?"

Chu Huaixi still smiled: "How dare a servant be jealous of his master."

Han Nian was very satisfied with this.

It seems that no matter whether she is the prince's sister or aunt, she is the most important person in the prince's heart, and no one can change this.

Sure enough, as long as you capture a man's heart, there is no difference between being a concubine and being a mistress.

"It's good that you know."

Han Nian was secretly delighted and after sending the man away, he changed his clothes and went to bed.

Early the next morning, she happily went to Chuxian Palace to pay her respects and offer tea.

Upon learning that Han Nian had become a concubine, the happiest person in the palace was Cui Ying. She went out for a rare occasion and went to Chuxian Palace to chat with Fu Guiyun.

The two were sitting in the living room drinking tea when they saw Han Nian leading Chu Huaixi and Han You in, with happy faces.

Cui Ying just stared at her silently without saying a word.

"Cui..."

She wanted to call her sister, but thinking about her own status, Han Nian changed her words: "Ms. Cui is here too."

"Yes, I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time. I came here to chat with her."

Cui Ying scraped the teacup lightly, and whenever she mentioned the word "sister-in-law", her tone was extremely heavy.

Knowing that she was deliberately coming to laugh at him, Han Nian gritted his teeth secretly.

Anyway, she didn't care about these empty names now. When she saw Cuiluo bringing the concubine tea, she immediately knelt down respectfully and handed the tea to Fu Guiyun: "Please have some tea, sister-in-law... the Crown Prince's Consort."

Fu Guiyun took the tea with a pale face, took a sip, and put it on the coffee table beside him.

Han Nian stood up on his own and prepared to sit down next to him as usual.

As soon as her butt touched the edge of the chair, Madam Tong scolded her: "Mrs. Han, have you learned all these rules for nothing? You don't even know to call yourself a servant when serving tea. You sat down on your own without the Crown Prince's Consort asking you to stand up. How can you be a mistress at all?"

"I......"

She learned the rules from the two maids, and learned how to be the mistress of the household, but she did not learn how to serve others.

Han Nian was about to defend herself, but seeing the cold expression on the Crown Princess's face, which showed no warmth towards her as before, she had no choice but to give in, "I know I was wrong."

At this moment, she knew that she could no longer do whatever she wanted in her palace as she did in the past, cry bitterly in her arms, or treat her like her sister-in-law and act coquettishly and complain in front of her.

Fortunately, she didn't care. As long as the prince treated her sincerely and was willing to pamper her, it would be enough.

After convincing herself, she stood aside obediently.

Fu Guiyun didn't say much throughout the whole process, but she looked at Chu Huaixi beside her more.

"Mrs. Han was caught a cold yesterday. Go back home and rest early. Huaixi and Hanyouding must be taken good care of."

At this point, she deliberately added a sentence: "The end of the year is approaching, and the princess is not in good health. I don't hope for anything else, but I hope that the mansion will be safe and smooth, and no more trouble will happen. The lessons of the past are there. If someone stirs up trouble again, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Yes."

The master and his servant all responded in unison.

Just at this moment, Cheng Kui came in from outside and bowed to report: "Your Highness, Consort Qin's child is gone."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound. Fu Guiyun immediately asked, "How could he be gone out of nowhere?"

Cheng Kui said: "It is said that there is a cold poison in the body, and it has recently flared up."

Thinking that before Qin Wan realized she was pregnant, he had also eaten the abortion-inducing meal prepared for Fang Yi, Fu Guiyun had an idea in his mind.

"She reaped the fruits of her own actions, and cannot blame anyone else."

Frowning slightly, Fu Guiyun asked casually, "Have you reported this to the prince?"

"It was the prince who sent someone back and asked me to inform the princess."

Cheng Kui said truthfully, "Recently, houses in several cities in Dali have collapsed due to heavy snow, and the rice in the granaries has rotted. The prince has gone to provide relief to the victims on behalf of the prince, and the prince's wife will handle Qin Yi Niang's matter herself."

The woman had bad intentions and might harm others if she were to live in another family. Fu Guiyun frowned and waved his hand: "Just sell her as you said before."

"Yes."

Cheng Kui left in response, and Fu Guiyun coldly signaled to Chu Huaixi, "Send Aunt Han back."

Chu Huaixi responded, and he and Han You supported Han Nian as they tremblingly walked out of Chuxian Palace.

Thinking of Qin Wan, such a good concubine was sold away, it was really miserable.

Although she is only a maid now, she is at least loved by the prince. I wonder what will happen to her if she is sold somewhere else.

She glanced at Han Nian silently, and an idea came to her mind. It would be a good idea to sell this man off.

The prince and the first four concubines have already had their positions taken by others. If she can't find a way to drive one of them away, how can she control Han You?

"Well, Aunt Han, the Crown Princess treated you like this today, are you really not angry at all?"

Walking in the white snow, Chu Huaixi whispered, "She didn't treat you like this in the past."

Han Nian could naturally tell that she wanted to sow discord between him and the Crown Prince's Consort.

She was not stupid and knew that the only way to live comfortably in this mansion was to please the Crown Prince's wife.

This can be seen from the way we dealt with Qin Wan just now. It only takes a word from the Crown Princess to sell out someone.

"Why should I be angry? I am a concubine now. I broke the rules. What's wrong with Nanny Tong giving me some advice?"

She glared at Chu Huaixi with a cold face: "Don't think I don't know why you stay with me. It's not that easy to instigate me."

Thinking of the princess's teachings, she immediately said righteously: "Although I am only the daughter of a military household, I know the general situation. Do you think everyone is as stupid as pigs and dogs as you, risking the lives of your entire family to please a man?"

"..."

Chu Huaixi couldn't believe it when he heard such words from her.

"Aunt Han, I am doing this for your own good. Look at Miss Cui. You are both the Crown Prince's adopted sisters. She will soon be enshrined in the palace as a virtuous concubine, but you can only be a concubine. I feel unfair for you."

"What's wrong with Concubine Xian? She's just a decoration."

Thinking of his brother's disdainful look that day, Han Nian now doesn't take this virtuous concubine seriously at all.

On the contrary, my brother even dared to kill that bastard Liucheng for my sake. That was the love from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Chu Huaixi with a proud look on her face: "I am happy to be the prince's aunt."

After saying this, he held his head high and strode forward.

"..."

Chu Huaixi and Han You looked at each other, both with bitter expressions.

This is the first time I've seen someone feel proud of being a concubine.

Really useless.

Seeing this, the two of them had no choice but to follow silently.

In Chuxian Palace, Fu Guiyun had collected his thoughts and continued to greet Cui Ying: "The heavy snow has not stopped. I'm afraid many people in Dali have suffered."

After seeing Han Nian's joke, Cui Ying felt very satisfied. Now she could focus on making plans for herself.

"Ying'er has always been taken care of by the prince and the crown prince. Now is the time for her to serve the palace."

Cui Ying volunteered, "Please allow me to go and help the prince and the prince comfort the victims."

This was exactly what Fu Guiyun meant. According to Lu Linzhi's method, the longer her trip to the palace could be delayed, the better.

"Then you must be careful."

Fu Guiyun smiled and said, "It just so happens that the 20,000 dan of grain that Youxi sent back a while ago is still stored in the warehouse. I'll ask Manager Cheng to send more people to escort you there."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Cui Ying pursed her lips and smiled, stood up to say goodbye to her, went back to pack her luggage, and followed the palace's grain delivery team to Dali.
