If not abolished

Chapter 216: First Entering Qingyun Palace

Qian'er looked as if she had known this and was not surprised at all, "In that case, then just follow me." After those people left, Qingluan, who had been sitting there stupidly, suddenly quieted down and looked in the direction they left. If it weren't for her disheveled hair and dirty clothes, she would have looked like a normal person.

Of course, the three people who left left without even looking back. After all, who would have any attachment to her? Even the good sisters she thought she had in the past were now avoiding her. She looked at their backs empty-headedly as if she was wondering why they all left.

Qian'er brought them to Concubine Li, "Madam, they all said they wanted to find another job in another palace."

Concubine Li put down the book in her hand and said, "Although the Crown Princess is gracious, I don't know where you are going. Just come to me and stay here for two days. I will report back to the Crown Princess tomorrow and then make plans."

"Yes." The two were taken away.

After Wu Yingyue and the other two left, Qian'er stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, your guess is correct. Wu Yingyue used to have a deep sisterly relationship with Concubine Qingluan, but now in this situation, she doesn't show any nostalgia. I don't see any sadness on her face, which shows that she is an ungrateful person."

"This is understandable. There are no sisters in the palace. It's all about interests. She is still young, and it is normal for her to want to leave. After all, there are very few people who can share hardships with you. As for her future, it depends on her luck." Concubine Li did not have too many extreme ideas about this. It is human nature that people go to high places and water flows to low places.

The next day came

The Crown Princess asked Yun Jin to look around the Eastern Palace to see where else there was a shortage of people.

"Crown Princess, I just checked and found that one of the senior maids serving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just left. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has promoted the second-class maid to a higher position, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is short of a second-class maid. Also, His Royal Highness Zhanqi has grown up and will move out to live alone, so we need more people to serve him. How do you think we can arrange this?"

"In that case, there is no need to specially select them. Let them draw lots and leave it to fate. If I specially assign them, then when the news gets out, people will think that I am partial. Don't think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indifferent to Guo now. He is still angry. If something happens to her son, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be soft-hearted, and then..."

"The Crown Princess is right." Yun Jin nodded after hearing this.

The two of them drew lots.

Wu Yingyue naturally let the system cheat for her. No matter how she drew, she would always draw the Qingyun Palace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so she smiled knowingly when she saw the result.

The system has also calculated that even if she goes to Qingyun Palace to be a troublemaker, it will not affect the overall situation, so let her do it.

Of course Wu Yingyue didn’t know this. She was now preparing to report to Qingyun Palace with full confidence.

Qingyun Palace

Zhu Zhanji was sitting in the study listening to Hu An's report

"Your Highness, I have been watching His Highness Qi for a day and found that he did not return home after meeting you yesterday. Instead, he went to see the Duke of Ying. The two of them had a long secret conversation in the restaurant. In order to avoid being discovered, I did not get close, so I do not know the content."

"I know. You don't need to know the content of their conversation. Just help me keep a close eye on him during this period of time." Zhu Zhanji knew what their conversation was about without even thinking about it. It was nothing more than about how to seize the throne in the future. In his previous life, his grandfather, father and he had never doubted the Duke of England until his second uncle found the Duke of England Zhang Fu as his accomplice in the capital in his previous life.

In order to prevent any unexpected events, you'd better be on guard.

"I understand." Hu An didn't ask anything and just followed the arrangements. After all, his family and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are now in the same boat. Even if he does nothing, others will automatically classify him as a member of the Crown Prince's gang.

in the afternoon

Wu Yingyue was taken to Qingyun Palace.

"Wu Daban, this is the new maid that the Crown Princess arranged for His Royal Highness the Crown Grandson." Yun Jin personally brought the person over.

Wu Cheng went over respectfully and said, "Please trouble Aunt Yunjin to come in person. I will arrange it right away."

"I'm just doing things for my master. The man has been brought here, so I'll go back first." Yun Jin didn't stay any longer.

Wu Cheng naturally saw her off respectfully, "Leave the rest to me, Auntie. Take care."

After watching Yun Jin leave, Wu Cheng turned around and looked at Wu Yingyue, "Look up. What's your name?"

"In reply to Eunuch Wu, my surname is Wu, and my name is Yingyue."

"Okay, it's fine as long as you're famous. Come with me." Wu Cheng took her to the outside of Zhu Zhanji's study. "This is the study of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Let me tell you, no one can enter the study unless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summons you. If you go in by accident, don't blame me for being rude. Just stand outside and wait for instructions. Do you understand?"

"Thank you for your teachings, eunuch. I understand."

"Caihong, this is a new maid, a second-class maid like you. You should take care of her for the next two days and let her get familiar with her daily duties." Wu Cheng called a maid over.

"Yes."

The sun was about to set when Zhu Zhanji came out of his study after finishing his work. Wu Cheng immediately greeted him, "Your Highness has been busy all afternoon. It's time to take a rest."

"Well, it's a good time to walk around and have dinner with Shanxiang." Zhu Zhanji said and walked out.

Wu Cheng and others followed. Wu Yingyue also wanted to follow, but was stopped.

"We don't have to follow." Caihong said to her after holding her.

Wu Yingyue's eyes were full of confusion, and she asked, "Why is this?"

"I don't know about this either. Anyway, according to His Royal Highness's rules, we can't follow His Royal Highness to the Crown Prince's Consort's place."

After hearing this, Wu Yingyue sneered and said, "Isn't this because the Crown Prince's Consort is jealous? I've heard from other palaces that our Crown Prince's Consort is very virtuous, but I didn't expect that she would even not let go of the palace maids around her husband."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Crown Prince's Consort has never troubled us. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid of being misunderstood." Caihong shook her head.

Wu Yingyue naturally would not believe it and prejudicedly thought that Hu Shanxiang must be jealous. How could anyone be really as virtuous and a model of female virtue as described in history books? It was just a pretense. Who knows how dark her heart might be.

Just wait and see. She was successful in history. Even Mrs. Sun couldn't stop her, not to mention Hu Shanxiang, a deposed empress in history. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just pretending to be with her because of His Majesty's majesty. Otherwise, why would he risk the world's disapproval and depose the empress as soon as he ascended the throne? And this time, Mrs. Sun didn't know where she went. But it's good this way. Without Mrs. Sun, she would have one less competitor. Hu Shanxiang had no son and would still be deposed, and her son would be the only son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Wouldn't he be the emperor in the future...

"Hey, what are you grinning about?" Caihong saw that she suddenly laughed happily and patted her arm.

"Ah, well, nothing. I just wonder what kind of tea His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes to drink, so that I can make tea for him when the time comes." Wu Yingyue said perfunctorily.

"I thought you were crazy?" No wonder Caihong said that, because she really looked like a crazy woman just now.

"How can you say that to me, sister? I didn't do that."

On the other side, Zhu Zhanji had already arrived at Hu Shanxiang's place.

Hu Shanxiang was feeding the fish. Life in ancient times was indeed boring, especially in the imperial palace. She just spent her time in her own palace.

"Why is Your Highness here?" When Hu Shanxiang saw him come in, she quickly put down the fish food and walked over.

Zhu Zhanji supported her when she was about to salute.

"I just finished my work, and I thought you would be bored eating alone, so I came here." Zhu Zhanji led her in, and the palace servants immediately prepared to serve the meal.

When the food came up, the two began to eat. They didn't talk while eating, so for a while, neither of them spoke. When they were almost done eating, Zhu Zhanji saw that Hu Shanxiang had eaten more than usual, "Shanxiang has a good appetite lately."

"I don't know what's going on. I feel hungry easily lately. I'm afraid I've gained weight. I can't eat so much tomorrow." When Hu Shanxiang heard Zhu Zhanji say that she ate a lot, she immediately put down her chopsticks.

"Who said you got fat? You were too thin before, and now you're just right. Eat whatever you want, it's okay." Zhu Zhanji comforted him.

"Really?" Hu Shanxiang looked at herself and it seemed that she had not gained any weight.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" After saying that, he glanced at Lingzhi and the others.

Lingzhi and the others naturally understood what he meant and decided not to talk about things like gaining weight in front of the Crown Princess.
