Chun Jieyu had no choice but to give in.

Of course, no one is forcing her to do this kind of thing, she is forcing herself.

The fourth prince allowed the concubines left by Emperor Xiao to live in the palace for the elderly, which is a great blessing for the concubines who have no heirs.But for Chun Jieyu, it might not be a good thing.

The concubines all live in Ganquan Palace, and each person has a room. Those with high status and heirs can be allocated a better room. For example, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Xian, even pure Jieyu can be allocated a room with a small courtyard. In the wing room, she can also grow lilacs in the yard.

The new emperor has never treated them harshly, and there are no fewer who should have their share, but there will be no more rewards.

At first, Chun Jieyu thought that it would be nice to just stay in Ganquan Palace like this without trying to please the emperor, thinking about how to seek favor all day long, but after a long time, she found that such a life was too lonely.

Chun Jieyu didn't have any friends in the palace at all. During the time when Emperor Xiao died and she was still favored, he aroused the red eyes of many people. At that time, she didn't care about these things at all, but now all the concubines live in the palace. After entering the Ganquan Palace, Chun Jieyu gradually realized that she seemed to be isolated by others.

Originally, she was attached to Concubine Gao, but Concubine Gao did not care about her life when she was the Empress Dowager, not to mention that now the Second Prince is dead and the Fourth Prince is in power.

For other concubines with children in Ganquan Palace, such as Concubine Zhen, the Seventh Prince treated her with sincerity. If it wasn't inappropriate for him to go in and out of Ganquan Palace every day, the Seventh Prince would probably want to come to pay her respects to Concubine Zhen every day. In addition, the Seventh Prince sent all kinds of treasures, jewelry, snacks and delicacies to Concubine Zhen's room like water, for fear that Concubine Zhen would be wronged by staying here.

Even Concubine Xian—her third prince who was far away in the imperial mausoleum, sent her family letters and pasted gifts all the way.

And her?She lived alone in Ganquan Palace, and her only son, Xiao Jining, brought her gifts, if she didn't take the initiative to find Xiao Jining, Xiao Jining would not even take a step into Ganquan Palace.

Chun Jieyu is not sad, nor is she sad, she is just unwilling.

She was unwilling to live worse than Concubine Zhen and Concubine Chen, even Concubine Wen, the dancer who paid tribute to Japan, became the Queen Mother!

However, Chun Jieyu did not believe that the fourth prince could secure the throne. Da Xiao had never had a precedent for the son of a concubine from a foreign land to sit on the throne. Even if the fourth prince set this precedent, he might not sit for a long time. is the best proof.

So Chun Jieyu relented, she kept telling herself in her heart: the future is long, as long as Xiao Jining is still alive, she will always have a chance.

But Xiao Jining didn't cooperate with Chun Jieyu to play the role of mother's kindness and filial piety at all. He listened to what Chun Jieyu said to him, and said indifferently: "Mother and concubine think there is something wrong with what Ji Ning said?"

Looking at Xiao Jining's attitude, Chun Jieyu understood that if she wanted Xiao Jining to be willing to listen to her, it would not be something that could be accomplished in a day or two.Xiao Jining still has resentment towards her in her heart now, so she said: "Forget it, mother concubine sees that you are tired today—"

It's just that Chun Ji hadn't finished speaking when her personal maid suddenly came to report that Concubine Xian had come to visit her.

Speaking of which, in Ganquan Palace now, the most nourishing life is not the birth mother of the Seventh Prince Concubine Zhen, nor the birth mother of the Fifth Prince, Mrs. Jing, but Concubine Xian.

This is because the current Empress Dowager, the former Concubine Wen lived in the Xianfei Palace.

Since Concubine Xian can get the title of "Xian", she is the virtuous and virtuous that Emperor Xiao recognized, and her tolerance is well known in the palace, so she can raise the third prince who is as gentle as jade without fighting or grabbing. son.

Concubine Wen was a dancer who entered the palace from Dongying, so she was excluded in the palace at that time, but after she gave birth to the fourth prince, she was promoted and went to live in Concubine Xian's palace. Concubine Xian treated her kindly and gently, so Concubine Wen's later days were much easier.

Now that Concubine Wen has become the Empress Dowager, she also reciprocates. She has asked the palace people to take care of the concubine Xianquan in Ganquan Palace. It's also a good story.

But whether it is Concubine Xian or Concubine Wen, it has nothing to do with me at all. What is Concubine Xian doing in her palace now?

Chun Jieyu was still in doubt, Concubine Xian had already entered her room, and when she saw Xiao Jining sitting in the room, she smiled and said: "Hey, has the Ninth Prince come to see Sister Chun?"

Xiao Jining still respected the concubine Xian, and even felt a little guilty—because he was the one who spoke out before the fourth prince ascended the throne, trying to prevent the third prince from returning to the capital. If the third prince had returned to the capital at that time, he might be sitting on the throne today The person above is the third prince.

And Concubine Wen's empress dowager should also be a concubine Xian.

These are the opinions of others, only Xiao Jining knows that the third prince will definitely die once he leaves the imperial mausoleum, and he can't let the third prince die, so he did this.

But this still separated Concubine Xian from his own son thousands of miles away, so when he saw Concubine Xian coming in, he immediately saluted Concubine Xian: "Jining has seen Concubine Xian."

Chun Jieyu also bowed to Concubine Xian, and after getting up, she asked Concubine Xian directly: "Why is sister Xian Concubine free to come to my place today?"

What is not good to pick?It was chosen when Xiao Jining was around.Chun Jieyu felt that Concubine Xian must have other purposes in coming here.

Sure enough, Concubine Xian didn't hide it either, she smiled and looked at Xiao Jining, and said bluntly: "To be honest, I came here today for Jining."

Xiao Jining was stunned when he heard the words, pointed to himself and said, "...Me?"

"Yes." Concubine Xian nodded, sat across from Xiao Jining, picked up the kettle on the table and poured herself a cup of tea, poured another cup for Xiao Jining, and said, "Jian often mentions you in letters."

Ji'an is the name of the third prince.

Xiao Jining originally thought that if there was nothing else, he would not bother Chun Jieyu talking with Concubine Xian, but he didn't think that Concubine Xian came here for himself, and that Concubine Xian came to see him because of the Third Prince.

"Brother Sanhuang, he..." Xiao Jining felt guilty for the third prince. He lowered his eyes when Concubine Xian mentioned his name, not daring to look into Concubine Xian's eyes. He took a sip of tea before continuing to speak, "Three Emperor How is he doing recently?"

"You child, of course Ji'an lived well there." Concubine Xian shook her head and smiled when she saw Xiao Jining's flustered appearance, "Of course it can't compare to the capital over there, but it's better than being quiet, and you also know that Ji'an Ann's temper, what does he like."

However, after hearing Concubine Xian's comfort, Xiao Jining was still a little uneasy, wanted to explain to her but didn't know where to start: "Concubine Xian, I—"

"Everything is fine with Ji'an over there, but I can't worry about you, Jiming, and Jichu." Concubine Xian gently interrupted Xiao Jining, "When Jiming and Jichu came to visit Concubine Zhen, I can still I'll meet them there, but you don't often enter the palace, so I can't see you."

That's true, the Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince often visit their mother and concubine in the palace, and Concubine Zhen, Concubine Li and Concubine Xian all have a good relationship, so it's not surprising that they often see each other.

On Xiao Jining's side, the concubine Xian could not leave the palace, and he didn't like to go into the palace to see Chun Jieyu, so naturally he couldn't see her.

Concubine Xian said: "A few days ago I heard Ji Chu say that you were ill, now that I see you and see that you look good, I feel relieved."

That "illness" was because he didn't want to go into the palace to meet Chun Jieyu's nonsense. He still felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned Xiao Jining, and he pursed his lips: "Everything is fine here at Jining, and I hope Princess Xian will tell the third prince to let him Don't worry about Ji Ning."

Concubine Xian smiled when she heard this: "Then I won't bother you talking with Sister Chun."

After saying this, Concubine Xian got up and left, as if she really came here today just to take a look at Xiao Jining.

Although both Chun Jieyu and Xiao Jining felt that Concubine Xian's behavior was a bit strange today, they didn't notice any strangeness in her expression and behavior.

When Chun Jieyu saw that Concubine Xian was gone, she asked the palace servants to bring a four-layer food box, and then said to Xiao Jining what she had just said: "Since you just recovered from your illness, go back and rest quickly. I made a new pastry for you, you can take it back to eat."

oh?Want pastries to buy him off?

Do you still think that he is that young and ignorant Xiao Jining who will be coaxed by sweet cakes?

Chun Jieyu is too naive, does she think she is irreplaceable?Xiao Jining has now found her substitute, that is the dim sum chef in Jingyuan's General's Mansion who is said to have been invited from Gusu and who also cooks delicious peach blossom glutinous rice.

So now Xiao Jining didn't pay much attention to the snacks Chun Jieyu gave him. On the way out of the palace, Mu Kui walked behind Xiao Jining carrying a food box.

He asked Xiao Jining: "Your Highness, would you like to eat these snacks later?"

"I don't want to eat it." Xiao Jining didn't want to touch these things made by Chun Jieyu. It's not like eating mermaid meat can make you live forever. No matter how delicious the snacks are, they are still snacks, and there are many people who can make them for him.

Hearing this, Mu Kui looked at the food box in his hand: "Then these snacks..."

Xiao Jining didn't care much and said: "Give these snacks to anyone later, I don't know how to eat them anyway."

Coincidentally, as soon as Xiao Jining finished speaking, he saw Jing Yuan who happened to be patrolling this road, and Jing Yuan was also walking towards him.

"General Jing——" Xiao Jining almost forgot Jing Yuan's inexplicable attitude to him when he was in Shun Wang's Mansion last time. He subconsciously raised his hand to say hello.

However, Jing Yuan's original cold face suddenly softened after hearing Xiao Jining's voice, he raised the corners of his lips and walked towards Xiao Jining: "Your Highness, have you just come out of Ganquan Palace?"

"I went to see my concubine mother." Xiao Jining nodded and said.

Seeing that Jingyuan's gaze was fixed on the food box in Mu Kui's hand, he said to Jingyuan: "General Jing has worked hard to inspect the palace, and I will give these cakes to General Jing for you to eat."

Mu Kui: "..."

He hadn't heard anything just now, and he wouldn't say anything.

"These cakes—" Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Should they be made by Concubine Chun?"

Hey!

Xiao Jining didn't expect Jing Yuan to be able to see this, so he could only admit: "Yes."

Jing Yuan said again: "Then His Highness sent me off like this?"

Xiao Jining started to coax him again: "Just take it as a return gift when you invited me to eat peach blossom glutinous rice last time."

Jing Yuan snorted, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's trick of borrowing flowers to present Buddha is very handy."

Then he can't tell Jingyuan that he doesn't want to eat the dim sum made by Chun Jieyu, can he?

Xiao Jining still wanted to say something nice to coax him through, but just as he opened his lips, he felt a sudden pain in his stomach.
