"Yes, miss."

Xiaoyun knew about the entrance of the palace before and didn't go inside. This time Yeyue didn't stop her. She just followed Jiang Yunshang all the way here, and she was still a little panicked.

Now she was asked to give away the Guanyin statue. Although she agreed smoothly, her steps were obviously trembling as she walked forward.

Under the current situation, Jiang Yunshang had no choice but to stand up in person, take the box in her hand and give it to Song Lanya.

"Please also ask the empress to take a look at it. If there is anything you don't like, I will try my best to find someone else for you."

When Jiang Yunshang handed the box over, he opened the lid.

Song Yalan is not a particularly picky person. In fact, she did not seek out the Guanyin statue because it was exquisite, but to serve as a supervisor.

Moreover, this Guanyin statue has no flaws and is indeed carved from fine jade.

If it is really sold, it will definitely be worth a fortune.

This was originally the treasure of their jade shop, and if they were selling Jiang Yunshang, they would definitely not take it out.

However, an object is just an object after all. It is a good object only if it plays its intended role when necessary. Otherwise, no matter how much treasure is hidden, it will still be just an object after all.

In the previous life, Song Yalan asked her for it, but due to various reasons, she did not give it to her.

After all, her purpose in the previous life was different from that in this life, and she also understood many things that she didn't understand in the previous life.

"Such a fine and exquisite Guanyin statue, the price is not cheap, right? I heard that you specialize in making jade, do you have a price?"

Song Yalan did not say whether he was satisfied with the statue, but asked Jiang Yunshang if he had a price.

"Returning to the Queen Mother, there is no price for this statue, but the folk girl feels that the essence of the thing is not in it. If it is given to someone who respects it, even a piece of wood will be priceless.

If you don't ask for it sincerely, no matter how expensive it is, it is worthless."

Jiang Yunshang smiled slightly and replied like this.

"Then do you think I am really asking for it, or am I coveting your treasure?"

Song Yalan closed the box and handed it to the maid next to her, then smiled and replied to Jiang Yunshang.

"Your Majesty's words are serious. Liangliang's status is so noble. Will she be missing a treasure? So it is natural that the Empress wants this Guanyin statue."

Jiang Yunshang quickly stood up, bowed and replied like this.

Although Song Yalan didn't care that much about getting this Guanyin statue, Jiang Yunshang certainly couldn't say that she coveted this treasure.

"I heard that the Lu family has found a business woman to be their eldest daughter-in-law. There are rumors outside that this woman is only beautiful but not very smart.

But in my opinion, this rumor is not true, and the Lu family is quite thoughtful in choosing their daughter-in-law."

Song Yalan didn't know whether it was to be polite or mean to praise, but she said this to Jiang Yunshang.

No matter what the reason was, Jiang Yunshang still said with a smile on his face: "The concubine is joking. The common girl only feels ashamed in front of the empress. The common daughter is an ordinary woman. I really don't dare to say that she is beautiful and smart."

"You don't need to be humble, I was originally just a maid.

So I don’t care too much about my background, but... I don’t like her as a wife. Even if the couple is deceased, they are not as lovable as a clean woman."

Song Yalan's words were somewhat of a warning.

Jiang Yunshang is not stupid either, and of course he can understand the intention behind her words.

But she had something to ask for, so naturally she couldn't be too harsh. She could only smile and politely reply: "I'm sorry that the concubines don't understand what I'm saying."

"Don't say you don't understand. You come to this palace every day, and your husband died before the prince married you. Anyone who understands knows this."

Song Yalan actually stopped beating around the bush and said this bluntly.

Seeing that she had made it so clear, no matter whether Jiang Yunshang and Feng Yi had something or not, it would be meaningless to deny it now.

"I'm just a civilian girl. How can a civilian girl dare to disobey the prince's order?"

Now that the words have come to this, Jiang Yunshang can only pass the blame to Feng Yi.

Besides, this wouldn't be too much, after all, it was Feng Yi who asked her to come today.

It's just that she only came to the palace twice. Song Yalan said that she came here every day. I don't know if someone made it up and said something to add jealousy, or was Song Yalan deliberately testing her like this?

But based on their current situation, it doesn't make any difference. After all, she can't deny that she has indeed come to the palace, and there is no way to clarify that she and Feng Yi have nothing to do with each other.

"Sheng'an is not that particular. It's not that a woman whose husband has passed away cannot remarry, she just has to make a clean break with her previous husband's family."

Song Yalan continued what she said before and said these two sentences.

Jiang Yunshang believed that she was not giving her any hope, but was testing her purpose of getting closer to Feng Yi.

Therefore, she did not answer the conversation, but smiled faintly and lowered her head politely.

"As a woman marrying someone else for the second time, there are still some things to be careful about, but with your status, if you marry a rough and reckless husband, you can afford to be the first wife.

But not everyone can be the main wife of the royal palace."

Song Yalan didn't care what Jiang Yunshang didn't say, but she still caught the words and said this again.

"I heard that although the empress has been with the late emperor for many years, she is only one of the prince's sons, so I must be very concerned about him.

The prince is usually busy with business, and he may have neglected his life-long affairs, so it is reasonable for the queen to worry about him."

Jiang Yunshang took a long time to answer, but there was no clear reply from Song Yalan.

But when Song Yalan raised her head and stared at her again, she smiled faintly and said: "But civilian girls really don't understand the marriage customs of the official family and the royal family, so I can't give any advice to the empress."

It can be said that the conversation between Jiang Yunshang and Song Yalan was not pleasant. Although they were talking and laughing on the surface, they knew what the other party meant in their hearts?

After chatting for a while, Song Yalan said she was bored again and asked Jiang Yunshang to play a few games of chess with her.

Not to mention how good their chess skills are, both of them are thoughtful people.

Song Yalan was very aggressive every time, but Jiang Yunshang mostly defended or even retreated, giving way to her as much as possible.

If someone wants something from someone, she will try her best to give it back. If she should put some effort into trying to please someone, there are benefits after all, and she is willing to put in the effort when the time comes.

"My dearest concubine, the prince is back."

After Jiang Yunshang lost again, Yue Ye finally came to report that Feng Yi was back.

"Okay, I understand. I am really happy today. If Mrs. Le Shao comes to the palace again in the future, please remember to come and sit with me more often."

Song Yalan put down a chess piece in her hand, took Jiang Yunshang's hand and stood up and said this.
