Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 535 Wanpin

Outside the hall, the north wind blows the snow, and under the eaves, the ice turns into blades.

In the inner room of the rear hall of Lanlin Palace, the floor heating and the fire in the incense burner were burning brightly, and wisps of cool orchid fragrance mixed with warmth were lingering in the air.

The floor was covered with thick blankets and various children's toys were scattered everywhere. The fourteenth prince and the thirteenth princess, born to the Miao aunt and nephew, were tired from playing and leaned against each other, their little heads nodding, drowsy.

"My Lady, would you like to take the two princes back to bed?"

"No, just let them sleep here for a while. My aunt and I are watching them."

Miao Heqing, who was promoted to Wanpin, was sitting on the couch, and opposite her was her eldest niece, Miao Yueji, who was promoted to Manpin.

Only after the eldest niece cried in front of the Empress Dowager, and was willing to lower her position to support her aunt, to show the closeness between aunt and niece, to show the love between the two who grew up together, and to clarify the hierarchy of seniority, did Miao Heqing get promoted.

Miao Heqing, a talented woman who was not favored even after giving birth to a prince, was given the title of Wanpin, surpassing the titles of beauty and noble lady.

Apart from this part, in Miao Heqing's opinion, Miao Yueji had the evidence that she had replaced the prince and princess, but not only did she not report it, she also covered it up.

After Miao Yueji persuaded him with emotion and reason, Miao Heqing realized the enormity of his crime and felt both fear and gratitude.

Although the aunt and niece are both concubines now, they focus on raising Miao Yueji, the fourteenth prince and the thirteenth princess. They have a close relationship and are as close as one person.

"Aunt, you said the Eighth Prince asked His Majesty to send a message to the Fifth and Seventh Princes in Annan to return to the capital for the New Year. What was his intention?"

"Help them both return to the capital. Is the borderland a good place? I wonder how much favors the Eighth Prince received from the Fifth and Seventh Princes?"

Miao Yueji looked at Miao Heqing with a half-smile, "The benefit, isn't it the blood relationship?"

Miao Heqing smiled awkwardly and pushed the melon seeds she had peeled forward. "Niece, have some melon seeds. Auntie peeled them myself. Try them and see if they are sweeter than those peeled by the palace maids."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, auntie. The melon seeds peeled by your family will definitely be sweeter than those peeled by others." Miao Yueji rolled her eyes.

She never thought she was very smart in this life, but in front of Miao Heqing, she gained unparalleled confidence.

"In less than two months, they've sent people back from Annan to Beijing for the New Year. Do the Fifth and Seventh Princes know how to fly? Even if water travel is faster, the Taiye Lake is frozen over in this weather. Doesn't the Eighth Prince have some conflict with the other two princes?"

"If anything happens to the Fifth and Seventh Princes on the way, Concubine Xian and Concubine Yi will eat Concubine Min and her son alive!"

Miao Heqing widened his eyes, his eyes full of excitement at eating the melon. He stood up excitedly and paced a few steps.

"How could the Eighth Prince be so stupid? He's so blatant! He's much bolder than me."

"You're still talking? Are you afraid that others don't know?" Miao Yueji gently slammed the porcelain cup in his hand on the table, and the porcelain cup made a crisp bang.

Although she has confessed to His Majesty, Miao Heqing doesn't know.

Take it easy.

Being glared at by her eldest niece, Miao Heqing immediately smiled embarrassedly, tiptoed back to her original seat, covered her mouth with both hands, and shook her head gently, "No more, no more."

Miao Heqing had the sinister idea of silencing her eldest niece before. Not to mention that her mother and Miao Yueji's mother, both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, knew about the bad things she had done. After all, the two grew up together under their mother's care. Although they didn't get along, there was no deep hatred between them.

It's just that she was trying to grab her mother's attention when she was still in the boudoir, and she was trying to win the favor of His Majesty after she got married.

She used some tricks to give birth to a prince, but His Majesty didn't seem to value her much. Instead, he asked Miao Yueji to raise the two children.

This incident made her realize clearly that her eldest niece was more favored than her. Although she felt wronged, she still had to rely on her eldest niece to advance in her position.

Miao Heqing dog glanced at Miao Yueji stealthily.

Well, actually the main reason is that I don’t dare.

"Niece, I have something on my mind!"

"what's up?"

"That one is becoming more and more weird." Miao Heqing stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of Wenming Palace.

"Alanruo? What happened to her?"

Miao Heqing leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Just the other day, I saw her in the flower forest in front of Linguang Palace, holding Princess Kunde and talking to her in a very gentle manner. Princess Kunde, though so small, wasn't afraid of her strange eyes at all. I guess this isn't the first time she's been looking at someone."

"What's this?"

"Princess Kunde is not her daughter. Her daughter is in the Jade Hall. Do you think she has something going on with the eldest prince..."

"What are you looking at? There's no one in the Miao family you care about, right? What do you mean by 'also'? I've already told you that the eldest prince and I are innocent, so don't make trouble!" Miao Yueji snorted coldly.
