After Princess Shouning returned to the palace, she went to Jiaofang Hall to meet Empress Pei.

Princess Shouning's face was paler than usual, but her expression was calm.

Empress Pei's eyes swept, and her eyes fell on Princess Shouning's hair: "Shouning, there seems to be a new pearl hairpin on your head."

Before leaving the palace in the morning, when Princess Shouning came to Jiaofang Hall to pay her respects, she had not seen this pearl hairpin. Moreover, the night pearl on the pearl hairpin was of excellent quality and dazzling brilliance, which was hard to ignore.

Princess Shouning subconsciously reached out and touched the beaded hairpin on her hair bun. She responded with a smile: "Today I went to Corning Mansion, my second brother gave it to me. Mother, is this beaded hairpin beautiful?"

Empress Pei casually smiled and said, "Your second brother is intent."

Yes, it's really "heartful".

Princess Shouning sneered in her heart and lowered her eyes to avoid revealing the hatred and hatred in her eyes.

Empress Pei asked again: "You went to Corning's Princess' Mansion today, have you ever seen the future prince-consort?"

Of course, the little movements made by Princess Shouning and Princess Corning can't be hidden from Empress Pei. Empress Pei pretended to be ignorant and allowed Princess Shouning and Pei Jue to meet. She also hoped that Princess Shouning would be impressed by Pei Jue.

Princess Shouning raised her head, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes: "It turns out that the mother knows everything. If you don't hide it from the mother, your daughter has seen Pei Jue."

Empress Pei asked with great interest: "What do you think of Pei Jue?"

Princess Shouning didn't feel embarrassed, and even curled her lips: "It's okay!"

With Princess Shouning's proud and domineering personality, she is willing to say something to do, which shows that Pei Jue is quite good.

Empress Pei smiled and said, "Don't be too picky. Xiao Liu praised him endlessly, and Jinrong also said that Pei Jue is good. It can be seen that he is an outstanding young man and deserves to be your son-in-law."

Princess Shouning continued to sneer in her heart.

In Queen Pei's heart, she was a princess who lost her chastity and lost her fetus and was only worthy of the concubine's son as the prince's consort!

Empress Pei gave a few words of advice and asked Princess Shouning to return to Changle Palace to rest.

It was getting late, the wind was so cold that it was biting cold.

Princess Shouning silently wrapped her cloak tightly and returned to Changle Palace with a blank expression. Madam Wu and Madam Wang came forward to meet her, and several other maids came forward to serve her.

These are all people from Emperor Xuanhe and Empress Pei.

Her every move was always under the eyes and ears of the emperor and the empress.

No matter in front of others and behind, she must pretend to be the same as usual. She must not provoke suspicion.

Princess Shouning clenched her fists hard, exhaled slowly, and opened her mouth to instruct: "I'm a little hungry, bring some snacks first."

Soon, a palace maid brought the snacks over.

The special snacks made in the imperial kitchen in the palace are delicate and compact in appearance, sweet and soft and crispy in the mouth. Princess Shouning ate three pieces in a row and said with satisfaction: "I am here to come, and I will be rewarded."

...

The next morning, Cheng Jinrong and He Qi entered the palace together.

After the couple entered the palace gate, one went to the side of the prince of the East Palace and the other went to Baohe Palace to work as a worker.

Before the Lantern Festival, Emperor Xuanhe did not have to go to the morning court. It was rare to have a few days of free time in the year. Emperor Xuanhe went to the harem and met the concubines and the young Seventh and Eighth Princess.

Emperor Xuanhe has not summoned concubines to sleep for a long time. It is difficult for the concubines in the harem to see the emperor on weekdays, but now they have a rare opportunity to show off, dress up carefully, playing the piano, playing the flute or dancing.
