"Esteemed wangfei, quickly get out of the way. It's enough for a servant girl to come over to deal with the matter. A servant girl's life is too cheap. If you can't handle it, then you'll be considered a loyal servant …"

"Pui!" You are not allowed to spout nonsense. [I've taken it all for you, do you mind if I do it a few more times?] "Don't try to show off in front of me, and don't even mention if you can't hold on, this wangfei will take the rap for you today and you'll have to serve this wangfei for the rest of your life. You can't even take one day less!"

Ruan Qiuyan was gasping in pain. She had to take a few breaths more to finish her sentence.

Qing Mei swallowed a mouthful of blood, not knowing what else to say.

This little girl looked very honest and was also very affectionate. Just now, after suffering so many blows, she didn't cry. At this moment, she had only taken a single hit, but Qingmei was already in tears.

The rest of the three boards fell onto Ruan Qiuyan. After receiving the board, Ruan Qiuyan's whole body was twitching in pain. She almost thought she was going to die.

She gritted her teeth. "Anything else? Bring it on again before the fight is over. "

Ann Ting couldn't help but say, "Princess, ten times is all."

"Good, good!"

Today, she didn't dare say that she was wronged, but she still couldn't help but glare at Xiao Jingran.

The latter's expression became slightly sluggish. He thought that Ruan Qiuyan was an ordinary woman. She had already given him a surprise a few days ago, and now this action made him look at her in a different light.

He thought to himself: This girl is extraordinary.

"Help the wangfei to go back and have a good rest. Go ask Mister Sima to treat her." He opened his mouth, hesitating. "From today onwards, Princess Wangfei will lift the ban on her entry, allowing her to enter and exit the estate as she wishes. The household chores will be left to Princess Hua-Yang to decide."

Ruan Qiuyan, since you are not someone from the pond, then let me see your ability, and whether or not you are worthy of having a place in the Nan Qi Palace!

Xiao Jingran thought in this way.

Ruan Qiuyan snapped out of it in an instant. Possessing great authority? Was this considered a blessing in disguise?

Three days later, someone from imperial court brought Xiao Jingran into the capital.

Ann Ting was greatly worried, "What should we do now? How could the Prince not be in charge of the Mansion right now? This time, the imperial court … I'm afraid they have the intention to beat our Nan Qi. "

In the past few years, the feudal feudal fiefdom was a common affair. The new emperor of the imperial court was a man of great means, and he was not the slightest bit lenient towards his fellow royal members.

Although the Nan Qi had always avoided sharp attacks, during this period of time, the movements were still a little big.

When the news reached imperial court, some people could not sit still.

Xiao Jingran didn't pay much attention to this. Fortunately, she had handed the Wang Residence to Ruan Qiuyan a few days ago. If she had asked Ruan Qiuyan to hand it over at the last moment, things would have been much more chaotic.

"There is still the princess concubine in all of the Duke's Mansion's matters, so you have to help her. If anyone dares to cause trouble, send a message to me to transfer troops. Make sure that I protect her well before Yan Wugui returns."

"If Your Highness is interested in my wife, why don't you personally say these words?"

"Deliberate? If she wants me to take her seriously, then let's see what she can do. "

With the capital gone, it would take some time to return. If they were to be delayed in the capital, it would take at least half a month.

If Ruan Qiuyan really could hold her ground in the Crown Prince's Palace, she would not disappoint his plans.

If … Then let her be an idle princess.

Along with those who went to the imperial court, were the princes of the lower regions of the imperial family. Xiao Jingran rode on horseback at top speed all the way, and only used three days to reach the capital city.

As soon as Xiao Jingran had entered the capital, her whereabouts were known by the young Emperor with formidable means. Even the inn where he stayed had already been discovered.

It was only noon when imperial court sent someone over to invite him.

They decided to stay in the pavilion in the backyard. In this way, it wouldn't be considered as a political conversation between the King and the Crown Prince of a Subordinate Territory. The two of them were more like brothers.

"Prince Nan Qi is really fast." The young monarch himself gave Xiao Jingran wine, and he could not refuse.

"This subject does not dare to disobey the emperor's decree. If my Nan Qi is not as well-informed as his imperial court, this subject will summon you half a day after coming here."

After one round, both of them tested the waters.

"I heard that it's been a year since the princess has married into the Nan Qi, but she hasn't been able to come out. The Nan Qi is now used frequently in times of war, so I'm rather worried about the Nan Qi lineage."

Xiao Jingran took a sip of the wine that was brought to her mouth and slowed down a little.

As expected, the movement of Nan Qi s and imperial court s were all within his line of sight.

Xiao Jingran had been hiding for a few years now, hiding her ears and waiting for the right opportunity to make her move. They had instigated people to instigate chaos within the borders, and used the war to sweep the borders and incorporate it into the map of Nan Qi.

Presently, however, the Emperor's intentions were extremely obvious.

If he still didn't see the good, then he would stop. The emperor was going to support his future son to become Prince Nan Qi. As for him … In the annals of history, he died during the pacification of the war.

This was also the reason why Xiao Jingran hadn't moved against Ruan Qiuyan.

If he had a son, then his life would be … He was in danger.

Xiao Jingran smiled, her expression calm.

"The princess' health has never been very good. I've already asked the best imperial physician in the estate to treat her. As for the heir, he'll come when the time comes."

The implication was that the child should not have come at this time.

"Since that's the case, then it's because my imperial court was not thorough when bestowing the marriage on her. Now that a year has passed, it's time for a new member to enter the Nan Qi Palace. So, how about imperial court pick a side consort for her Royal Highness?"

"I wonder which jade-green did the Emperor bestow upon us?"

"I've heard that Princess Nan Qi had a deep relationship with her sister when they were at the Residence of Prime Minister. Back then, as the Prince, he had to separate the two sisters. Now that they have reunited in the Residence of Crown Prince, it's quite a good story."

The young Emperor calmly probed Xiao Jingran.

If the other party nodded, regardless of whether noble heir or the great chaos that would follow, the imperial government would let out a sigh of relief. If the other party did not nod, then the imperial government would have an excuse to send troops to Nan Qi.

Xiao Jingran remained calm and collected, but her heart was filled with contempt.

If the two of them were to serve the same husband, how could they become famous words? It could only be a joke.

Thinking about Ruan Qiuyan, Xiao Jingran felt that it wasn't that hard for her to agree to this matter.

"Then this subject thanks Your Majesty."

"Your Highness is too polite. Since this is a joyous occasion, Your Highness should return as soon as possible."

"Exactly."

Ruan Qiuyan's older sister, Ruan Xiangwen, was the pearl in the palm of the Prime Minister's hand. It was said that the Emperor had bestowed the marriage upon her, and the Prime Minister's house had even been set up with a total of 128 pieces of dowry and 10 pieces of red makeup.

When he married Ruan Qiuyan, his dowry was even lower than this.

The first daughter was the first wife, while the second was the second. It was truly a joke in front of others.

Xiao Jingran understood the intentions of the court. It was just that they wanted to stir up chaos in his Nan Qi Palace, and wanted to see if these two sisters could cause it.

After Xiao Jingran left, she sent news to the Mansion quickly.

When they arrived at the palace, other than the princess and her entourage welcoming them personally, there was no other movement from inside at all.

Xiao Jingran was slightly displeased. Whose power was this?

"Did This King send someone to deliver the news to the wangfei?"

"Your Highness, please don't worry. I'm thinking of coming here because it's my elder sister, so I'll take it easy. The border war has been tight recently, and the soldiers and generals are unable to eat their fill. How can I cause such a ruckus?" As the wife of a princess, I have acted as an example to the prince's household and neglected the side concubines, so I hope that the prince can make amends. "
