Chapter 296 Concubine of Prince Chen's Mansion 4
"My elder sister still loves me as much as before." Jiang Chunxi smiled very happily.
"The princess naturally loves the fourth young lady," Xiurong also said with a smile, "After all, among so many concubines in the Jiang Mansion, only the fourth young lady has won the princess's heart. Even after she married into the Chen Palace, the princess always mentioned the fourth young lady."
"Miss Fourth, the princess still needs my service, so I will take my leave now." As she spoke, Xiurong signaled the two palace maids behind her to put down the reward.
"Xiao Zhu, please see Sister Xiu Rong off for me." Jiang Chunxi said to Xiao Zhu quickly:
Xiurong did not reject Jiang Chunxi's kindness. He bowed to Jiang Chunxi again and left with his people.
Xiaozhu sent Xiurong to the gate of the yard and watched Xiurong and the other two walk away before turning back.
As Jiang Chunxi's confidant, and with Jiang Chunxi's loyalty talisman, Xiaozhu's IQ has also improved, so! Not only is Xiurong good at showing his skills, Xiaozhu also does a good job on the surface.
Jiang Chunxin's reward to Jiang Chunxi was nothing more than some jewelry and fabrics. Xiao Zhu checked them carefully after he came in. Then he looked at Jiang Chunxi who was already sitting lazily on the couch and said, "Miss, these things sent by the Queen are really good, especially these fabrics, which are very suitable for making clothes for you. But I don't know what's wrong with them. After all, it's very easy to tamper with these fabrics."
"Don't worry! Even if Jiang Chunxin wants to deal with me, she won't use such a troublesome trick," Jiang Chunxi said indifferently, "After all, it's easier to drug me than to tamper with the fabric. In Jiang Chunxin's eyes, I'm just a dog. How could she use such a troublesome trick to deal with me?"
Xiao Zhu immediately became anxious. She hurried to Jiang Chunxi and said, "Miss, what should we do? The princess wants to drug you, so she must have tampered with the food you take. You are going to see the princess tomorrow. You can't just stay in her yard and not drink a sip of tea! If that happens, how can the princess not be suspicious?"
"You haven't met the Prince of Chen yet. If the princess is suspicious of you, she might not let you meet the Prince of Chen at all, and might even directly dispose of you!"
"Look how anxious you are," Jiang Chunxi rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhu in amusement, "Don't you know your young lady's abilities? Even if Jiang Chunxin drugged her, so what?"
Because of the loyalty talisman, Xiao Zhu was naturally clear about her young lady's abilities. She immediately smiled happily: "I was so anxious that I forgot the young lady's abilities."
At the same time, the most magnificent courtyard in the Prince Chen's Mansion is the courtyard of the Prince Chen's concubine, Lan.
"My lady, a servant comes to report that the princess's concubine's sister has entered the mansion." The person who spoke was Lankouhua's maid Juxiang.
"Hmph!" Lan Kouhua took a bite of the watermelon on the fork in her hand and snorted disdainfully, "The princess is so shameless that she even let her concubine sisters come to the palace to compete with her for favor. A defeated general can only use such inferior means. It's a pity! Even if the princess brought all her concubine sisters to the Prince Chen's Palace, they would still not be a match for me."
"After all, the relationship between me and the prince is unmatched by anyone. The princess is only a wife in name only. In the prince's heart, I am his wife and his beloved."
"That's right," Ju Xiang said proudly, "The affection between you and the prince is unmatched by anyone. Even if the princess's concubine's sister is as beautiful as a fairy, the prince won't even look at her. The princess expects her concubine's sister to compete with you for your favor. It's just a foolish dream."
"Oh!" Lan Kouhua sneered disdainfully, "The only thing I lack is my family background. If I had a good family background, would it be possible for someone named Jiang to be the Princess of Chen?"
"Ah!" Lan Kouhua's mood became low. She put down the fork in her hand and stroked her belly. "You know, it's been so long, and I've drunk so much pregnancy medicine, but why is there still no movement in my belly?"
"The prince said that once I got pregnant, he would have a reason to ask for me to be the concubine. In order for me to give birth to the prince's first child, every time he went to the princess' place, he was not willing to touch her, not to mention the concubines who were not favored."
"But why is there still no news from my unlucky stomach? Do you think I was tricked by someone and asked the princess to give me some kind of drug?"
"That shouldn't be the case," Ju Xiang said, "Every time the young lady goes to the princess's courtyard to pay respects, she never touches anything at the entrance. As for our courtyard, it's impossible for the princess to get anything harmful in. So even if the princess wants to harm the young lady, she doesn't have the means to do so!"
"The most important thing is, didn't Doctor Hu say that there is nothing wrong with the young lady's health? Doctor Hu is one of ours, and he would never be bribed by others, so Doctor Hu couldn't be lying."
Doctor Hu is the imperial physician of Prince Chen's Mansion, but he is actually the Royal Concubine's man, so naturally he would not tell Lan Kouhua the true condition of her body.
"It's not a physical problem, and I wasn't drugged. So why can't I get pregnant?" Lan Kouhua said frustratedly:
"Maybe it's not your destiny yet!" Ju Xiang consoled her, "My lady, pregnancy is something that depends on human effort, but it also depends on fate. And I've also heard that the more a woman wants to get pregnant, the less likely she is to get pregnant. On the contrary, if she relaxes and doesn't worry, she will get pregnant quickly."
"Therefore, I think the reason why you can't get pregnant is related to your mood. You are too anxious to get pregnant, which is why you can't get pregnant."
"You do have some truth in what you said," Lan Kouhua nodded and said, "It seems that I should relax and stop being anxious about my pregnancy."
"Madame Ruan."
Just then, a maid's respectful voice came from outside, and then Lan Kouhua's mother, Nanny Ruan, walked in.
"Mom, why are you here?" Lan Kouhua looked at her mother who came in and said:
"Nothing, so I came to see you," Nanny Ruan came and sat down next to her daughter, "I heard that the princess's concubine's sister has already entered the palace. For the princess to take her concubine's sister into the palace, it is obvious that the concubine of the Jiang family must be very beautiful. I don't know why I feel a little uneasy."
"Mother, look how worried you are," Lan Kouhua forked a piece of watermelon and handed it to her mother, "Are you worried that the Jiang family's concubine's daughter will take away my favor? You are not unaware of the prince's feelings for me. Even if that woman looks like a fairy, I believe that the prince will not be fascinated by her."
