However, her mission today can be considered accomplished - after all, the person opposite her mood has improved, right?

Xia Tong felt that she was doing a pretty good job as a small employee. The boss fed her and clothed her, and she was responsible for teasing and making him happy. She might even be named an outstanding employee this year!

Oh, I forgot that subordinates are not allowed to talk to their superiors.

Liu Zhang didn't care about this and kept kissing her for most of the day. Fortunately, she didn't put on much makeup, otherwise she would have kissed her with rouge paste.

When Xia Tong got up from his arms panting, she straightened her hair and smiled charmingly, "I wonder if King Linjiang has a wife?"

If not, she can help find a proper marriage - this kind of scheming green tea should be matched with a tigress.

Liu Zhang had no expression on his face, "I married him the year before last, and she is the daughter of Wei Sheng, a famous figure in the south of the Yangtze River."

Xia Tong couldn't help but feel sorry for her. It sounded like Princess Wei was very well-educated, so it would be much easier to get along with her.

She lowered her head and glanced at her belly, which was obviously slightly bulging, hoping nothing would happen.

Although he was very interested in the emperor's stinky brother, Prince Linjiang seemed to be in poor health. After walking and resting for a while, his princess Wei came to the palace first to pay her respects.

Chunlan removed the fresh fruits that had been left overnight and replaced them with a plate of fresh ones. Now that the master was pregnant, it was not advisable to incense, so he relied on these fresh flowers and fruits to remove the smell.

While wiping the table with a rag, he sighed: "I wonder if Princess Wei will visit the empress."

She was afraid that the Wei family would come, but she was also afraid that this person would not come - now in the palace, only her master was pregnant with a dragon descendant, and all the brothers and sisters should come and take a look; but she also heard that King Linjiang has always had a child.

In order for the emperor to appoint him as the crown prince, he was afraid that the existence of this child would be regarded as a threat.

Xia Tong tasted the hot sugar-steamed cheese and said disapprovingly: "I would rather she didn't come."

Why is face so important? Anyway, she should not like to be in the limelight. She wishes that Guan Jugong could become invisible at this moment, so that she could give birth to the child safely.

However, unexpectedly, Mrs. Wei had just gone to Ningshou Palace to reminisce about the past, and in the blink of an eye she came to visit Guanju Palace.

Xia Tong was stunned instead. Even if she wanted to come, she should follow her position. Why did she skip Jiang Bilan instead? Isn't this a bad rule?

I'm afraid Jiang Bilan will blame her if she finds out.

Xia Tong was about to say he was ill and disappear, but before Chunlan and others could stop him, Wei came in like a gust of wind. Before seeing him, he heard a string of laughter like silver bells.

Xia Tong originally thought that she grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and her family had many scholars for generations, so she must be a gentle and graceful lady, but she turned out to be a big girl from the north, a figure like Wang Xifeng.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Wei didn't think so, so she held her hand and said, "Sure enough, you are so beautiful. No wonder His Majesty loves you so much!"

Xia Tong was not used to such close contact with people, let alone the first time they met, so why did he seem to be familiar with them?

I was speechless for a moment.

Fortunately, Chunlan Qiuju was clever and stepped forward to pull this enthusiastic "good sister" away, invited her to sit down, and served her the best tea.

Mrs. Wei tasted it and said: "Is it Mingqian Longjing or the first crop of buds? The food here is really good."

As soon as they met, this person put high hats on her one after another. Xia Tong couldn't help but feel wary and said calmly: "My position only belongs to Jieyu, so I don't need to call you the emperor's wife."

Wei didn't notice her coldness at all, and still greeted everyone with a smile, "Your Majesty loves you so much now, and you are pregnant with the emperor's heir. If you give birth to the emperor's eldest son in the future, are you afraid that you will not be able to become a queen?"

If it were someone else who was ambitious, I'm afraid he would have been blown away by these words.

Unfortunately, Xia Tong has neither ambition nor ambition. Is someone like her qualified to manage the harem? Besides, judging from the experience of countless palace battles, how can being a queen be as comfortable as being a beloved concubine?

When Mrs. Wei saw her smiling but not speaking, she felt that this person was probably very scheming - quite a tough one.

It would expose a flaw, and Mrs. Wei did not dare to stay for a long time, so she put down her gifts and prepared to say goodbye.

However, before leaving, she solemnly said to Xia Tong: "My Lady, that person from Linzhi Palace is not someone to be trifled with. You must be careful."

Xia Tong responded with a smile.

After coming out, the maid asked Wei in confusion, "Why are you so flattering to Xia Jieyu?"

Because of her, he even said bad things about the imperial concubine. It would be terrible if this spread.

Wei smiled slightly and said: "As long as a person has ambitions, he will expose more weaknesses. Xia Jieyu is pregnant now, what does it mean if I turn a deaf ear to her?"

When Xia's appetite becomes bigger and she becomes superficial and arrogant, naturally there will be more people in the palace who want to deal with her.

After that, Wei went straight to Linzhi Palace.

Jiang Bilan was eagerly looking forward to her coming, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Wei went to Xia Tong's flirtatious place first. Jiang Bilan was naturally annoyed and was sulking in the room right now.

Mrs. Wei gently and skillfully stepped forward and bowed, calling softly: "Cousin."

Mrs. Jiang had a distant cousin who married into the Wei family in the south of the Yangtze River. The two families could barely be considered related.

Jiang Bilan said coldly: "Why don't you stay a little longer? The tea in Guanju Palace must be delicious."

Wei's eyes sparkled, "Cousin, is she angry with me?"

The two of them had always been on good terms, which was why Jiang Bilan couldn't forgive her and ordered someone to pour tea to see off the guests.

Wei sighed: "Cousin, do you think I want to go there? It's not because of the piece of meat in Xia Jieyu's belly. As you know, our prince, because of the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, has always been a lot of suspicion by Your Majesty, but now it is easy to be able to return to it."

When I return to the capital, why don't I take care of everything? I didn't go to see the Xia family. I just wanted to see the future young prince, so as not to be indifferent. Your Majesty blamed me instead. If you want to talk about intimacy, I am naturally closer to you, cousin.

, Aren’t you coming right away?”

Jiang Bilan felt a little more comfortable, then frowned, "How do you know he is the prince?"

Mrs. Wei grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the white porcelain plate beside her and slowly cracked them. She smiled casually and said, "Isn't this just for good luck? Your Majesty has not had a baby for many years. It's easy for the harem to become pregnant. Naturally, he has to give birth to a prince."

More appropriately, my prince also asked several heavenly masters to perform divination before, and they all said that Xia Jieyu's pregnancy is extremely auspicious and she will definitely be honored and wealthy in the future."

Jiang Bilan heard it particularly harshly, "How can the words of those charlatans be taken seriously?"

"That's not necessarily true. If they don't have any knowledge, how can they make a living? I guess it's a secret that must not be leaked, that's why they are so vague."

Wei said as if unintentionally: "I think this Xia Jieyu may still be a phoenix. Now that she is favored and the eldest son of the emperor is also born, it will be difficult not to make her his queen in the future."

After Wei lived in the palace for a few days, she became the focus of praise from everyone. I thought that because her family had a rich education and a rich family, she must be very proud and looked like a stubborn old scholar. However, she turned out to be a rare person who was cheerful and generous, so

From the Empress Dowager Chiang to the ordinary maids and eunuchs, everyone felt that this princess was a rare harmonious person.

Xia Tong got her two fine Shu brocade horses, so she would naturally not speak ill of people in person, but her inner view of the Wei family was not that simple.

Aunt Ping was even more fierce-eyed, "This Princess Linjiang seems to be outspoken, but I'm afraid she has a lot of trouble in her chest and is not an easy person to get along with."

It was said that Concubine Jiang was her cousin, but she actually complained a lot in front of Master Xia, and even hinted that Concubine Jiang would be detrimental to the emperor's heir. Based on this, Gu Ping felt that there was something wrong with Princess Wei's character.

Even if there was something really wrong with Jiang Bilan, she shouldn't have come here to sow discord and act like she was righteous enough to kill her relatives. Who would believe her?

Xia Tong thought so too, and I heard from Feng Yuzhen that the Wei family did not have this tone in Linzhi Palace, but instead tried hard to arrange herself. The reason why Feng Yuzhen came to slander Xia Tong was because she couldn't stand the Wei family. Princess Linjiang

Come, Jiang Bilan threw herself aside and concentrated on talking privately to her cousin.

Feng Yuzhen was actually a little jealous, but of course she was more resentful. She had done so much for Jiang Bilan, could it be that she was no better than a distant cousin who had only a weak blood relationship and was often separated from each other?

It is simply unbearable.

In addition, Xia Tong also learned from Wang Jingyi that Princess Wei got along very well with the Empress Dowager Jiang, but her way of pleasing the Empress Dowager Jiang was different - not by giving hard massages like Wang Jingyi, but by relying on her eloquent and sharp mouth.

, all the women in the palace were insulted, saying that the imperial concubine was domineering, the concubine Shu was gloomy, and Xia Jieyu was even more of a monster. She coaxed the emperor to ask for favors every day to make up for the shortcomings of her natal family, and did not know how to show filial piety to her elders.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other. Even if they are biological nieces, the Empress Dowager Chiang may not really like them. What’s more, distance creates beauty. She is in front of her every day. Looking horizontally and vertically, she can always find faults. However, Wei’s situation has been a year and a half.

When she came back, Empress Dowager Jiang found her more friendly.

By attacking other women, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are closer than the biological mother and daughter.

Xia Tong felt that Princess Wei was really weird, and she changed her attitude too quickly. She said bad things about Jiang Bilan in front of her, and then said bad things about her in front of Jiang Bilan, let alone in front of the Queen Mother. She wished she could kill the emperor.

The little wife criticized her all over, what is this person trying to do?

Originally, the emperor said that his younger brother was very scheming and knew how to play tricks at a young age. Xia Tong was still half-convinced, but now that he saw Princess Wei's appearance, he knew that what the emperor said was true.
