"Hey... don't you think that's Princess Lin?"

Xixiang followed the direction of Xia Ruyan's eyes and saw that the person in the distance with one deep and one shallow kick was indeed Yao Xianxiu.

"The Crown Princess, it's really her! It looks like I'm going to bring you good news today!"

Although Xia Ruyan was slightly relieved by Xixiang's words, her face soon darkened.

"Don't make false claims without seeing the results!"

Xixiang saw that her expression was not good, so she immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes! The Crown Princess understands justice!"

While drinking tea, Xia Ruyan looked at the figure downstairs of the palace, with a flickering look of contempt in her eyes.

"I never thought she could accomplish anything! If it weren't for being a dead horse, I would really be too lazy to pay attention to her! But now that I think about it, I still feel that many people can still have more power? Alas...

…There’s nothing we can do!”

Xixiang quickly took over and said: "Actually, Princess Lin is not stupid, she just suffered too little!"

Xia Ruyan took another sip of tea, but her expression was calm.

"It is said that Princess Dongling is not a stupid character. How can she teach such a thing? In my opinion, Xia Lingyue is just the same. She is not much better than her. But recently, I always feel that she has gone to the private sector and returned.

It's as if she has become a completely different person. Could it be that someone borrowed her body and sneaked into the palace?"

Xia Ruyan secretly stroked the black hair beside her ears and temples. The cold auricles already made her uncomfortable.

"I think the Crown Princess need not worry too much. After all, Xia Lingyue is in a position with no name or status. No matter how powerful she is, as long as she has no status, she will have no real power. After all, she will not be tough in speaking and doing things without real power.

She has no weight in the palace, so I think the Crown Princess can rest assured! After all, for the moment, she won’t have much effect on you as a threat!"

Although Xixiang's words sounded reasonable, Xia Ruyan interrupted her as soon as she raised her hand.

"That's not the case. The key is that there are countless methods that don't necessarily require you to go into battle in person! For example, killing someone with a borrowed knife, working for a tiger, colluding with others, scheming to knock the mountain out of the tiger, etc. These are all things that are impossible to guard against! Sometimes they are even completely unexpected.

And he was caught off guard!"

Xixiang's face darkened sadly and she stopped talking.

"Actually, Yao Xianxiu's failure was also a strategy, a strategy called taking the unexpected and taking advantage of it!"

Although Xia Ruyan's words made Xixiang confused, she still waited quietly aside and said nothing rashly.

"Although her success will not be to win for a while, it is likely to be to win for the rest of her life. Some people will call this shrewdness a bitter trick, while others will think it is a blessing in disguise! In fact, the driving force behind this matter

He is a truly powerful character with far-sightedness!”

When Xixiang heard this, her eyes suddenly widened.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing her confused look, Xia Ruyan looked indifferent and smiled mysteriously: "Actually, Yao Xianxiu is not necessarily the most pitiful person. What is the most pitiful thing for a woman?"

"have no idea!"

Xixiang shook her head blankly, and then she thought again: "Does it mean that Princess Lin has a detached temperament? She takes pain as enjoyment?"

Xia Ruyan suddenly smiled: "Do you know what is most important to a woman?"

Xixiang still shook her head: "Princess, please forgive me! I am stupid and can't think of what is most important to a woman."

"For a woman, the most important thing is her husband's wholehearted love and care, and the most precious promise her sweetheart has ever given!"

Xixiang nodded as if suddenly enlightened.

"Understood?"

"Still don't understand!"

Seeing her dull expression, Xia Ruyan couldn't help but sigh sadly.

“Haha, no one knows me better than you!…………”

"Oh... No, it's actually the empress who is wise and mighty! The empress is a thousand years old! A thousand years old! A thousand years old!"

Xia Lingyue deliberately changed her tone and began to praise Concubine Jiang. After she finished praising her, she frowned again.

"But this means the Crown Princess will have to work hard. After all, the position of Crown Princess is not easy to come by. It would be good if she is talented..."

Concubine Jiang gave a sly smile.

"Haha... This is for sure. This Crown Princess is virtuous, exquisite, and smart. She has gone through many years of accumulation. There is a saying that three feet of ice cannot be frozen in a day!"

Xia Lingyue smiled slightly, her expression showing a slight disdain, and she only responded lightly.

"oh……………"

Concubine Jiang fell silent after seeing her respond softly, and then the look on her face changed.

After the small talk just now, Xia Lingyue rubbed her forehead and fell into deep thought silently.

"It seems that the role of that gourd is becoming more and more important, but what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

Thinking of this, she sighed: "Think about those days of hardship. Although Concubine Jiang is in a prestigious position today, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, but there are still a few people who can shake her status.

Where’s the thread?”

She couldn't help but sigh deeply as she rubbed her forehead. At this moment, Nanny Lin's words echoed in her ears again...

Yao Xianxiu's doubtful eyes were filled with crystal clear tears, but Xia Ruyan's words were full of teasing.

"You can't think that a little maid can change completely after just a few days here. In fact, maybe she has been dissatisfied with you for many years, but she didn't have the chance to say it out before, right?"

"Um...right..."

Yao Xianxiu finally understood that she was just a joke to Xia Ruyan, so she thought about it again and didn't mention it again.

"Okay! Sister, I came today to have a few drinks with you. Since the little maid is ignorant, I won't mention her anymore. Please beg her to go! Haha..."

Yao Xianxiu suddenly changed the expression on her face as soon as she changed her unhappy mood.

"That's right! Nine times out of ten things in life will be unsatisfactory. If you bear the mistakes of others in your heart, wouldn't you be angry to death? Hahahahaha..."

Xia Ruyan was smiling when Yunyao and Xixiang had already come up carrying a rattan basket each.

"Princess, the food, drinks and servants you requested are all ready."

Xixiang put it on the table with a smile, and Yun Yao next to her was also busy.

"Princess Lin, please don't worry about it. My maid just punished Yingxu, that girl, who faced the wall and thought about it."

Xixiang reluctantly smiled at Yao Xianxiu, and Xia Ruyan next to her also took over.

"Since the punishment has been paid, Princess Lin will naturally not mind it. Her belly is not as small as you think!"

Yao Xianxiu reluctantly smiled a few times, picked up the wine glass on the table and planned to pour some first, but unexpectedly, Xi Xiangyan quickly snatched the glass away.

"Hey...you can't make the first move. The Crown Princess has a higher status than you. According to the rules, the servants have to pour you wine first, and then you have to pour the wine to the Crown Princess first. This is only proper etiquette, so you need more

Study!”

Xixiang's words gave Yao Xianxiu another blow, leaving Yunyao on the side in embarrassment.

"This...what should I do?..."

With her lips and teeth flashing, she turned and left...
