After entertaining the female guests, she went to the male guests. She spent money and effort to host such a flower appreciation banquet, not to curry favor with those women. With her current status, the county head plus the princess, the emperor and the noble concubine also She is so favored that others only fawn over her.

"Look, who is that beauty?"

"There is a maid behind me, which family's daughter should she be?"

"Coming towards us? Whose girl is so bold?"

The Eighth Prince took a glance and saw that the woman was wearing a fragrant imperial concubine-colored flowered gauze skirt, with towering temples, and her whole body seemed to be surrounded by haze, shining brightly. He subconsciously sat up straight.

"Ahem...that's the princess."

Everyone was stunned and withdrew their gazes, not daring to look any further.

"Is that woman really a princess?"

"What's she doing here with us?"

Jiang Qingxue walked closer and smiled at everyone.

"It's me. My prince is still busy. I was afraid that he wouldn't be well received, so I came over to take a look."

Everyone couldn't help but be fascinated by what a beautiful woman with a face as beautiful as Chaowei and skin as white as jade. Although she is a princess, she is not as cold and arrogant as those delicate daughters from aristocratic families, making it difficult for people to approach her.

Xiao Linche's eyes moved slightly and he nodded.

"Royal sister-in-law?"

There was no smile on his resolute and cold face. After saying hello, he casually fiddled with the ring on his hand without looking at Jiang Qingxue.

Jiang Qingxue laughed: "Eighth brother, are you really here? I'm looking for you. I brought you the music score you asked for last time. Xiao Lian, please bring it up quickly."

Her every move and every move was full of charm, and her every move and every smile was even more romantic and charming. All the men who looked at her were breathing heavily and their faces were red. The bold ones were all staring straight at her waist. And the snow-grey ravine where love blossoms as soon as you lower your head.

Xiao Lian hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a small box the size of a palm. The box was very exquisitely carved and exuded a faint fragrance. Everyone was curious about what kind of music score requires such caution. Could it be an ancient piece that has been lost for a long time? ?

The Eighth Prince opened it and took a look, rubbed it with his thumb a few times, then put it into his arms, and heard his cold tone.

"It's such a small thing, I didn't expect the emperor's sister-in-law would still remember it."

Everyone was surprised. The eighth prince was too disrespectful to the princess, right? Such a beautiful woman spoke to him so gently, but he actually had a cold expression on his face. As they listened, their bones felt like they were going numb.

Jiang Qingxue raised her eyebrows and glanced at the others.

"Sorry to disturb you all, I will take my leave. You can continue to play."

Everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly bowed their hands in return.

The Eighth Prince also responded indifferently.

"Your Majesty, please."

Jiang Qingxue walked around and felt a little tired, so she rested on a stone bench under the shade of a tree in the garden. As soon as she sat down, she saw several clear figures coming over. The leader was dressed in white. He was holding a folding fan in his hand, and there were two people behind him, also dressed in the same literati style.

Jiang Qingxue narrowed her eyes.

"Isn't that the number one scholar?"

She suddenly became interested and slowly stood up.

Cui Zhi and two friends were also invited. He accepted the invitation from the Prime Minister's Palace, but he didn't want to come to the invitation from the Prince's Palace. He thought carefully about the situation that day, and Jiang Qingxue just looked at him a few more times. There seemed to be no other actions.

Thinking about it, Jiang Qingxue probably didn't mean any harm. Maybe it was because her eyes were inherently romantic, and if she didn't pay attention when looking at people, she would appear a little frivolous.

Thinking this way, he was happy to have arrived today.

Just as the three of them were watching the hibiscus in the lake and preparing to recite a poem, a graceful woman suddenly walked over and smiled at the three of them.

"Why are the three gentlemen here? Everyone is at the waterside pavilion over there."

When Cui Zhi saw her, he quickly lowered his head.

"Princess, we are going now."

Jiang Qingxue was not too polite and said with a smile.

"welcome."

The three of them stood on the roadside, waiting for her to leave first. Jiang Qingxue passed by Cui Zhi, and her soft and plump body happened to brush against his arm. Cui Zhi was so shocked that his scalp went numb. He froze in place and forgot to move.

Jiang Qingxue continued walking forward as if nothing had happened. Xiaoshan and Xiaolian didn't notice anything strange, and they followed carefully.

Cui Zhi subconsciously touched his arm. There was still a tingling feeling there. The soft touch was so good. He didn't know why, but he remembered it. He didn't wake up until his two companions urged him.

When Jiang Qingxue returned to Yuzhang Courtyard, Xiao Linchuan was already sitting there drinking tea.

"Didn't I ask you to wait for me? Where have you been now?"

Jiang Qingxue leaned weakly on the couch and drank a few water.

"There are so many people outside. I just went out to say hello. Your Majesty doesn't like to get involved in these things. I don't show up either. What does it look like?"

Xiao Linchuan burst out laughing, feeling that she was becoming more and more like a mistress now. Seeing that she was sweating on her forehead, he wiped her with a handkerchief and asked Xiaoshan and Xiaolian to fetch water.

After lunch, Jiang Qingxue felt sleepy again, and she yawned.

"Your Majesty, I'm very tired and I need to rest."

Regardless of whether Xiao Linchuan was happy or not, he lay down on the couch and ignored him.

Xiao Linchuan had nothing to do with her. He slept all day long as soon as she became pregnant. He told Xiaoshan and Xiaolian to bring in two more ice basins. He took a fan and sat next to her to fan her.

……

Because of Jiang Qingxue's pregnancy, Xiao Linchuan stayed in the capital for a few more days, but the emperor gave the order and there was no reason to change it. On the tenth day, Xiao Linchuan took his two aunts, Lu Qinnan, packed seven or eight carriages, and set off for Huainan County.

Before leaving, Jiang Qingxue went to see him off. She stood at the door of the outer study and watched the carriages being filled to the brim with Xiao Linchuan's clothes, books, and various medicines.

Lu Qi and Nanniang leaned beside the carriage coquettishly and blessed Jiang Qingxue. Xiao Linchuan had already told them that it might take three to five years before they could come back. The two of them were secretly rejoicing that in the past few years in Huainan, without the princess around, they were the most important women around the prince.

When the time comes, it will not be impossible for the mother to give birth to a boy and a half girl for the prince, and then the mother will be directly promoted from a lowly concubine to a noble concubine, or a concubine, depending on the value of the son.

Lu Qi lowered her head, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.

"Princess, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the prince along the way."

Nanniang clung to Xiao Linchuan as if she had no bones, and said in a cooing voice.

"Your Majesty is really partial. He is afraid that the Princess is weak and cannot bear the fatigue, so he doesn't care about Nanniang's life or death."

Jiang Qingxue gave her a cold look and sneered.

"If you don't want to go, then stay and enjoy the blessings in the palace."

Nanniang was stunned, pouted, and said coquettishly to Xiao Linchuan.

"The princess is joking. If I don't leave, who will serve the prince?"

Her face is childish, like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Not to mention, she really has a bit of a coquettish attitude.

Jiang Qingxue glared at Nanniang and scolded angrily.

"What? The prince still has to be you? Apart from you, the prince can't find any other woman?"

She looked at Xiao Linchuan and said in a gentle tone.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there are so many beauties in Huainan County. Your Majesty, when you go, don't miss out on the great time. If there are any you like, you can bring them all back to the capital. I am very generous. As long as you are obedient, you will be fine." I can tolerate more than enough.”

Xiao Linchuan knew that Jiang Qingxue was angry. He glared at Nanniang and threw her aside. Nanniang was caught off guard and staggered. Her eyes widened in horror. She couldn't believe that Xiao Linchuan would treat her like this.

Xiao Linchuan went over and took Jiang Qingxue's hand, coaxing her warmly.

"Princess, in your eyes, how come I have become such a greedy and lustful person? Don't be angry anymore, just take good care of yourself. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not even half as good as you. In my eyes, They're just things for people to have fun with. If you don't like them, I'll keep them and let you do whatever you want. Okay?"

Lu Qi and Nanniang turned pale with shock and did not dare to speak for a moment. If they fall into Jiang Qingxue's hands, they will either be sold or die, or they will be driven to Zhuangzi. How can they be happy?

Jiang Qingxue took out her hand and took a few steps back.

"That's not necessary. My lord, you'd better take him away. If you're tired of playing, whether you give it away or sell it, it's all your business. It has nothing to do with me anyway. Just like those aunts before, I don't want to get involved. .”
