Jiang Shuhua was a little surprised and a little excited.
Finally one day I can take control of Xie Songhua, and it's at a time like this.
She suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried her best to behave calmly and generously, "Sister, this is ridiculous. Who am I? I am just a favorite concubine of His Highness! That is, I occasionally hear a couple of sentences in His Highness's study.
sentence."
Where have you been, now calling yourself a beloved concubine?
Xie Songhua did not expose this point about her, but instead bypassed the topic and said with a smile: "I heard that the fifth sister once lived in the same courtyard as you?"
When Xie Li was mentioned, Jiang Shuhua's face became a little dull, but she didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly she became confident again.
She raised her carefully maintained hand and pointed to the west wing, "Well, I live there, and I don't know what means I used to hook up with His Highness.
His Highness was also confused for a moment and did not see her true face clearly, so he actually brought her here, but he was worried that I would be unhappy, so he simply sent her to my place."
"Oh? Is that so?" Xie Songhua's eyes were a little cold, but he still kept a smile on his face, "Speaking of which, at that time, the prince and the princess even sent people to our house to negotiate! But the position has not been decided yet.
.
It's just a pity, who knew she was so lucky, she passed away before His Highness ascended to the throne. By the way, no one in our family could see the fifth sister for the last time.
She has been living in your yard, but you became the last person to see her off. I wonder if the fifth sister left any words? "
Jiang Shuhua's face looked a little ugly. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. She said calmly: "Didn't she die outside? Where can I hear her last words?"
"There are only you and me here, and it's in the East Palace. What else can't be said? Don't everyone in the East Palace know that there once was a Miss Xie here?"
Xie Songhua's voice was also cold, which made Jiang Shuhua very unhappy.
She originally wanted to say a few tough words, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know what came to her mind, and she changed her tune again, "Speaking of which, she also has a lofty ideal, and she doesn't look at her background or her abilities.
, actually want to rely on such despicable means to get to the top, and also try to put pressure on me.
Think about it, with my status beside His Highness and the fact that I have given birth to a little princess, how can she be able to overpower me? As long as His Highness takes the throne, I think that in the future, my sister, you will do the same.
I’m proud of it! Aren’t you?”
Xie Songhua did not answer her question, but asked in confusion: "How did the fifth sister die?"
The smile on Jiang Shuhua's face could no longer be maintained, and she said sternly: "It doesn't matter how she died. If you try to crush me, she deserves to die! Do you understand, sister?"
Xie Songhua still didn't speak, just smiled and shook his head gently, then picked up the teacup and drank tea.
"Okay," Jiang Shuhua couldn't help it anymore and put the tea bowl heavily on the table, "We don't have to beat around the bush. You came here today to find out the whereabouts of King Chen, right?"
After hearing this, Xie Songhua looked up at her again, put down the tea in his hand, and then acted like he was listening attentively.
Jiang Shuhua was very dissatisfied with her attitude. Since she came to ask for help, she should have the attitude of asking for help.
After going around in circles for a long time, she didn't think it meant anything. She finally started to speak humanly, "Xie Songhua, you and I know very well what our relationship is like. In this case, why do you think I will tell you what I know?"
you?"
"I thought you wouldn't be able to talk well if you didn't go around here until night!"
Xie Songhua's expression seemed to be more relaxed than before, and the indifference in his tone was really irritating.
"Is this how you ask for help?"
Hearing Jiang Shuhua's words, Xie Songhua raised his eyebrows, "Please? How can I be sure that you really know the prince's whereabouts?"
"You can choose not to believe it, but it is obvious that you, the princess, really don't know where your husband is! Isn't this... a bit sad!"
"Okay!" Xie Songhua spread his hands, "Then tell me! What do you want me to do before you can tell me?"
Jiang Shuhua raised a finger and waved it, with a dissatisfied look on her face, "I don't like the way you talk to me. If I don't like it, how can I be in a good mood? If I'm in a bad mood, I won't be in a good mood.
How did you come to have fun?"
"oh?"
Jiang Shuhua pointed to the floor tiles at her feet, "You may not know that the palace is a very hierarchical place. Although my status is not high, I have a high status in front of His Highness.
If His Highness likes me and my daughter, then I will be the master of the East Palace. Do you know? Those eunuchs and maids are used to kneeling in front of me to ask for instructions!
When you come here today, does it count as asking me for advice? About the whereabouts of the prince?"
"You want me to kneel down?"
When Jiang Shuhua heard this, she couldn't help stroking her hands and laughing, "My mother-in-law taught me before that you have a strong ability to comprehend and can learn many things in one go. I was not convinced at first, but now I think she is right."
, look, don’t you understand what I say?”
Xie Songhua did not move, but looked at Jiang Shuhua quietly, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"What? You don't want to? Do you think that your status as Princess Chen is nobler than mine, and there is no reason to kneel to me?"
The smile on Jiang Shuhua's face was somewhat malicious, and she didn't even try to hide the malicious intent.
Xie Songhua shook his head slightly, "It's not that I don't think there's any reason to kneel to you, but I've never liked kneeling, and that's the same for everyone."
"Oh? Then what are you here for today?"
Jiang Shuhua played with her exquisite nails that had been picked up by the palace maids, and she felt quite confident.
Xie Songhua said warmly: "I used to feel that the harem was a very scary place."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"It is said that where there are many women, there is a lot of right and wrong. I don't necessarily agree with this statement, but if there are a lot of women fighting for a man's place, right and wrong are absolutely indispensable."
Jiang Shuhua didn't understand what she meant, so she turned to look at her.
Xie Songhua still said in that tone: "But after seeing you, I think this idea is not necessarily true. You have been in the palace for so long. Logically speaking, you should have fought several times in various conspiracies.
If you go away, you should become smarter.
But now it seems... you are still so stupid. Is it really because the prince protects you too well and loves you too much?"
"Xie Songhua! Don't forget what you did today. What good will it do to you to provoke me?"
Jiang Shuhua hates Xie Songhua's attitude the most. It seems that she is always telling the people in front of her that her identity at this time is Princess Chen, and she is an unshakable existence for others.
"I haven't forgotten why I came here today, what about you?" Xie Songhua's smile returned to his face, this time even his eyes were filled with smiles, "Have you forgotten what you got today?"
Is everything because of His Highness the Crown Prince's favor?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Shuhua frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in her heart, "Of course I know, otherwise how could I..."
"No!" Xie Songhua interrupted her, his tone becoming more confident and calm, and with a decisive determination, "You don't know, if you knew, you should cherish His Highness's sincerity towards you, and
Don't take advantage of this opportunity to do something to harm His Highness."
Jiang Shuhua's expression changed instantly. She couldn't help but grasp the corner of the table with all her strength, and stood up with a bang, "What are you talking about?!"
