Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At night, the Emperor rested at Noble Consort Ji’s place. After dinner, he pretended to ask unintentionally.

“Did my older brother leave you anything back then?

Noble Consort Ji shook her head and replied, “I can’t remember.

The Emperor didn’t ask further. He just glanced at the few drops of water that fell from the outside of the teacup and lowered his eyes.

Noble Consort Ji was a unique existence in this harem because she was almost the current Emperor’s sister-in-law.

Everyone who knew about this past strongly opposed the Emperor taking Noble Consort Ji as his concubine, but he did it.

Even though the throne was unstable back then and she still had to rely on the Yan Family, he still ignored everyone’s opinions and let her be the “Noble Consort Ji” who had been favored for so many years.

After the Emperor left, Noble Consort Ji sat alone for a long time. Then, she asked the nanny, “Is everything ready?”

Nanny sighed. “Do we have to do this?”

Noble Consort Ji looked at the moon outside the window and said softly,

“Definitely.”

Rong Yan was called into the palace by the Emperor, and he did not come back.

Xiaoxiao was worried. No matter where she went, it was as if she was in a no man’s land. Since she was worried, she naturally had to take a look. However, she did not expect Rong Yan to be under house arrest.

They knew that the Crown Prince couldn’t help but attack Rong Yan, but the Emperor wasn’t stupid. Wasn’t this reaction a little too big?

After confirming that there was no one around, Xiaoxiao appeared from the space. Rong Yan uncharacteristically hugged her and did not say a word.

He buried his head in Xiaoxiao’s neck. There was only the sound of their breathing in the room. Xiaoxiao simply brought him into the space and patted his back gently from time to time.

After a while, Rong Yan, who had adjusted his emotions, said gloomily, “Are you treating me like a child?”

Xiaoxiao said, “No, I’m coaxing you because you’re my precious.”

“What happened?”

Rong Yan had already suppressed his disappointment and told Xiaoxiao calmly.

“Father asked me today why I persuaded Dean Lu to agree to Xiongnu’s unreasonable request.”

They had discussed this matter before. Firstly, Xiaoxiao wanted to move the two mines out together after she had saved 500,000 points to save some teleportation points. Secondly, she naturally did not want Xiongnu to go back on their word after finding out.

At the same time, since she knew that the Crown Prince had ulterior motives, Xiaoxiao was a little selfish. She wanted to mess with him and take this opportunity to make the Emperor feel guilty.

The Emperor had ignored Rong Yan for so many years. As a father, this could no longer be described as negligence. If he dared to punish Rong Yan or suspect Rong Yan’s feelings for Great Xia, Hmph, Xiaoxiao would make him doubt his life!

She had clearly told Little Big Brother about her plans. Since he was already prepared and said that he had gotten used to it all these years, how could he be so down?

Rong Yan said, “He sent someone to my residence and found a dragon robe.

“How ridiculous. No matter how disloyal I am, I can’t hide such a thing

casually.”

Xiaoxiao did not ask the Emperor if he believed her. “Who put it there?”

Rong Yan knew that she had guessed correctly.

“Other than my people in my residence in the palace, only Mother…

The words “Father doesn’t dote on me, Mother doesn’t love me” appeared in Xiaoxiao’s mind uncontrollably. She was angry, very angry.

After comforting Rong Yan in her own way, she flashed out of the palace but

did not go home directly.

Noble Consort Ji was making tea in the hall. When she heard that someone wanted to see her, she thought it was the Empress again.

“Your Highness, it’s Miss Xiao who wants to see you.

Noble Consort Ji’s hand that was serving tea paused for a moment. “Let her in.

When Xiaoxiao came, she had an unfriendly expression. Even if Noble Consort Ji was indeed as beautiful as a fairy and looked very similar to Little Big Brother Ah Yan, she couldn’t smile.

“Greetings, Noble Consort. My name is Xiao Ning, and I’m the Third Prince’s fiancee.”

This self-introduction was very unique. Noble Consort Ji observed her imperceptibly.

Her eyes were clean and her appearance was likable. Most importantly, she seemed to be angry.

Was she angry for Ah Yan?

Maintaining her calmness, Noble Consort Ji asked, “What’s the matter? On the way here, Xiaoxiao was filled with anger. She really wanted to throw a tantrum without caring about anything else, but she thought that she was the Noble Consort after all. Even if she didn’t care about offending her superiors, it was very likely that she would be chased out before she could scold her to her heart’s content, so she had to change her method.

She said perfunctorily, “Oh, I remembered that I still have to meet my elders, so I specially came to send some gifts.”

“I heard that Noble Consort likes to read books and pay respects to Buddha, so I specially brought some scriptures. I hope you like them.”

She had no intention of sitting for long. After saying that, she was about to leave.

On the other hand, the Noble Consort pointed at the small table unhurriedly. “Since you’re here, at least have a cup of tea, lest outsiders say that I didn’t treat my guests well.”

Xiaoxiao glanced at the tea set on the table. After confirming that there were no strange ingredients in the tea, she picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

“I’m done drinking. I’ll take my leave.”

Was it an illusion? This tea seemed to taste quite good?

What she did not know was that after she left, the nanny shook her head and cleared the table.

“It’s a pity that you have such good intentions.”

Noble Consort Ji opened the gift Xiaoxiao brought and casually said, “It’s fine.”

She opened a book of poems.

“The thread in the loving mother’s hand and the clothes on the wanderer’s body are tightly sewn before they leave. She’s afraid her child won’t return for a long time. Who said that one’s heart can be repaid for three springs?

This was the Wanderer’s Song.

“Bright lily flowers grow in the north hall. The south wind blows her heart.

Who will she give it all for? A kind mother depends on her family’s love, and her son’s journey is bitter. I’m willing to decree that the days are sparse, and the voices ask the days to stop. I look up at the cloud forest. I’m ashamed to listen to the wise bird’s language.”

This was “Mo Xuan Painting”.

“The crow lost her mother and let out a sad voice. She didn’t fly day and night and guarded the old forest all year round.

This was “The Crow Cries at Night”.

Nanny was speechless.

Noble Consort Ji finished reading all the poems.

“She’s calling me a bad mother.”

The nanny had a bitter expression. “Shall I put it away for you?”

However, Noble Consort Ji held down these books.

“The sun is shining today. I’m going to the courtyard to sunbathe and read.” The nanny’s face was filled with worry. Noble Consort Ji said, “She’s venting her anger on behalf of Ah Yan.”

“Ah Yan… must have guessed that I planted the dragon robe.

“I’ve ignored him all these years. He shouldn’t have any expectations for me anymore, right?”

Noble Consort Ji said softly, “If he doesn’t have any expectations, won’t he feel less sad?”

The granny didn’t know how to respond, and Noble Consort Ji naturally didn’t expect to get an answer from others.

“The Crown Prince is anxious. The Yan Family is anxious.”

If not, they would not mind Rong Yan so much.

It was good to be anxious. No matter how cunning a fox was, it would give itself away when it was anxious.

The Empress really didn’t expect Noble Consort Ji to go so far for the Crown Prince. No matter how unloved Rong Yan was, he was still her biological son. She framed him just like that and even attacked him so mercilessly.

“That’s a beheading crime. To think Noble Consort could bear to do it.” The Empress sneered.. “What do you know? Isn’t that because the Third Prince looks too much like His Majesty, and the Crown Prince looks too much like…”
