"Thank you, Concubine Jing, for your kind care." Lady Xu really didn't expect her daughter to make a friend in such a heartless place as the palace.
"Lady, you're being too polite. I really like Concubine Shu. Don't worry, as long as I'm still here, I'll protect Concubine Shu." Concubine Jing was telling the truth. She really liked this lively and mischievous girl.
"Your Ladyship, rest assured. In the future, if there's anything Your Ladyship needs my help with, just say the word. I'll do my best." Lord Xu could tell that although Concubine Jing seemed quiet on the surface, she was actually very shrewd and definitely not someone to be bullied. With her taking care of his daughter in the palace, he could rest easy.
"Quick, someone! Lady Mu has fainted!" At this moment, the eunuch on the high platform shouted.
It turned out that after the emperor left, Mu Xingrou wanted to stand up, but Consort Hua didn't allow it. She directly ordered someone to hold Mu Xingrou down on the ground. Coupled with the excessive shock just now, Mu Xingrou suddenly felt weak and fainted.
"Princess Tianlin, please take a look at our mistress quickly." A young maid ran up to Mu Fengqie, her eyes full of pleading.
Mu Fengqie laughed when she heard what the young maid said. "Why should I?" It was really a joke. Now just anyone dared to order her around.
"Princess Tianlin, our mistress is at least your elder sister. How can you be so cold-hearted?" The young maid scolded Mu Fengqie, as if she had done something unforgivable.
"Who do you think you are? Even your mistress wouldn't dare to talk like that." Jing Xunchao frowned as he looked at this audacious young maid. Only someone like Mu Xingrou could raise such a rude person.
"Princess Tianlin, this servant is begging you. Please help take a look at our mistress. Our mistress often says that you're a kind person. Didn't you just help Concubine Shu? Why won't you help your own elder sister?"
Mu Fengqie slowly put down the wine cup in her hand after hearing what the young maid said. This young maid was morally blackmailing her. It was a pity that she didn't have such a kind heart.
"That's because I feel like it. It's none of your business. Instead of wasting time here, you'd better hurry up and urge the imperial physician."
The young maid looked at Mu Fengqie in disbelief, not expecting her to say such a heartless thing.
"You..." The young maid didn't know what to say for a moment. She snorted and stood up. "Marquis Zhongning, are you just going to watch Princess Tianlin refuse to save someone in need?"
Jing Xunchao watched as the young maid stared at him with wide, angry eyes and questioned him. It seemed that because of her anger, her face had turned red.
"What does this have to do with me? As long as Qie'er is happy." Jing Xunchao said indifferently.
Seeing Jing Xunchao say this, the young maid left with a red face. At this time, the imperial physician happened to arrive. The young maid rushed over in a hurry. "Imperial physician, how is our mistress?"
After the imperial physician carefully felt Mu Xingrou's pulse, he said, "Congratulations, Your Ladyship. Lady Mu is pregnant." The imperial physician didn't expect that such a grand palace banquet would have so many unexpected things happen one after another. Fortunately, Lady Mu's pregnancy was a happy event.
"What did you say?" Consort Hua on the side was not calm. This bitch had only been favored by the emperor for a few days, yet she was already pregnant. Consort Hua couldn't believe her ears.
"Your Ladyship, every word I said is true. Lady Mu is indeed pregnant." It was just that the pregnancy was still in its early stage and needed to be carefully taken care of.
Consort Hua stared at Mu Xingrou fiercely. This bitch, she would never let this bitch's child be born.
Mu Fengqie was also a little surprised when she heard the imperial physician say that Mu Xingrou was pregnant, but she didn't say anything.
Although she didn't want to cause trouble on purpose, trouble just kept coming to her.
"Princess Tianlin, our mistress is pregnant. Please come to the palace to take care of her." The young maid who had come to look for Mu Fengqie just now started talking again. "Our mistress has no one to rely on in the palace. Only Princess Tianlin can help take care of her."
Mu Fengqie frowned. What was wrong with this young maid? Why did she keep pestering her? "She has the imperial physician to take care of her when she's pregnant, and her mother is also in her palace. How can you say she has no one to rely on? Do you mean to curse your mistress's mother to die soon?"
The young maid was frightened by Mu Fengqie's words. She was Mu Xingrou's personal maid on weekdays, so she knew Mu Xingrou's personality very well. If she annoyed Mu Xingrou because of this matter, she wouldn't have a good end.
Just thinking about Mu Xingrou's methods, the young maid shivered. But if she didn't do this, how could she quickly leave Mu Xingrou's side and enjoy the glory and wealth?
Actually, she had noticed Marquis Zhongning a long time ago. His handsome appearance was exactly the man of her dreams.
"Princess Tianlin misunderstood. This servant didn't mean that. This servant just thought that our mistress's younger brother just had an accident, so she must miss you, her younger sister. That's why this servant wants you to enter the palace to accompany our mistress." If you don't come, Marquis Zhongning won't come to see me either. How can I turn things around then?
Mu Fengqie would never have thought that this young maid had her eyes on Jing Xunchao. If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have wasted time arguing with her here.
At this time, a young eunuch rushed in from the outside. He stood still in front of Mu Fengqie and said, "Princess, the Regent said that the Regent's Consort is awake and would like you to go and take a look."
"You can see that the Regent's Consort is also my younger sister. So if you think your mistress, Lady Mu, has a higher status than the Regent's Consort, then I don't mind going. Well, I'm just so materialistic and realistic. You want me to take care of Mu Xingrou? Sure, if your mistress has a higher status than the Regent's Consort, then I'll go without hesitation."
After Mu Fengqie finished speaking, she took Jing Xunchao and left. She was going to see how Aru was. This incident was no small matter. Aru almost had a miscarriage.
The young maid stared at Mu Fengqie pulling Jing Xunchao away fiercely. So what if she had a good background? There was nothing to be proud of. One day, she would also make a name for herself.
When that day came, the first people she would deal with would be Mu Fengqie and Mu Xingrou. The young maid looked at Mu Xingrou who was still lying on the ground. She found two strong eunuchs and carried her back. She couldn't carry Mu Xingrou by herself.
Concubine Jing saw that all the people who should leave had left. She didn't plan to stay any longer. She left with Concubine Shu.
