Feng Jing thought about it later on.

People like them who had lost their power had to rely on money in the end.

And why should he have anything against money?

However, his hundred thousand taels of silver hadn't even been filled with heat when that person came looking for him. That person said that the crown prince's consort was coming to see the imperial concubine today, allowing him to look at her for a bit before throwing out another twenty thousand taels of silver without batting an eye.

This made him curious about the person standing in the courtyard.

What kind of person was he to make a Crown Prince spend so much money?

”Empress …” Aren't I afraid that the sun will get too high and cause people to faint? ” Hearing Imperial Concubine Cui's question, Feng Jing, who was used to flattery, immediately welcomed her with a smile. ”After all, it's such a hot day and the Crown Prince's wife is dressed so grandly. If she were to pass out from heat stroke, it would be detrimental to your reputation of being kind.”

Imperial Concubine Cui looked at Feng Jing with both displeasure and joy. She turned around and walked to the east side and said, ”Then let them in.”

Jiang Wan, who stood under the sun for an incense stick of time, felt a wave of dizziness because she only ate a little bit of the breakfast and didn't drink any water.

This imperial concubine really knew how to take Qiao Qiao.

In her previous life, when she was the grand imperial concubine, she had never given anyone such a show of authority.

She looked at the silhouette she left in the yard and thought to herself: Didn't they say they found someone to take care of me? She was about to faint, how come no one came to save her?

Just as Jiang Wan was indulging in her fantasies, she heard a summons, ”Announce the Crown Prince's consort, Jiang Wan, to meet you ~!”

Thank God!

Feeling on the verge of collapse, Jiang Wan finally heard someone announcing her name.

She composed herself and then started walking. She lowered her head and entered the east side of the main hall.

Imperial Concubine Cui was sitting on her throne, sizing her up.

”Chenqie Jiang Wan greets the imperial concubine.” Following the rules of the palace, Jiang Wan sincerely bowed to Imperial Concubine Cui, then laid on the floor motionlessly.

Just when she felt like she was about to fall asleep, Imperial Concubine Cui, who was sitting at the head seat, said faintly, ”Stand up.”

”Thank you, esteemed Empress.” Jiang Wanyi stood up, then lowered her head and stood there.

However, she heard Imperial Concubine Cui say something similar to ”Chastity, quiet and leisure, self-humiliation: for the virtue of women” in a long speech.

Jiang Wan listened with a respectful face, constantly warning herself not to be distracted.

After an unknown period of time, someone suddenly ran in to spread the news, ”Yesterday, Young Lady Cui Liang from the Western Mountain Palace suddenly had a bellyache and gave birth to a young prefecture lord. Mother and daughter are at peace.”

”What did you say?” Imperial Concubine Cui looked nervously at the person reporting the news. ”You gave birth to a young prefecture lord?”

He leaned against the throne behind him in a dejected manner.

Although she knew that Cui Liandi had given birth to a daughter in her previous life, Jiang Wan still felt a little surprised by Imperial Concubine Cui's reaction.

”Madam wangfei, if there is nothing else, please kneel.” Chief Eunuch Feng Jing, who was standing beside Imperial Concubine Cui, said as he looked at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan bowed respectfully and quickly left the palace.
