135 Showing Her Power

Jiang Xi sat on the chair with her back straight. She did not bow and kneel like other people when they saw the empress. Hearing the empress’s words, she paused and replied, “I don’t blame you. The empress is ill and should rest well. Zhao Panpan is intelligent, so it’s only right for her to accompany you.” In any case, she did not want to move at all. She was a poisonous mushroom today.

“That’s good. I was worried that Zhao Ruifeng would blame me if he knew.” When the empress saw that Jiang Xi did not even raise her head, she felt that the crown prince had been blinded by Jiang Xi. He could not see such a good girl as Zhao Panpan and even talked about what happened when he was three years old every day. There was nothing about Jiang Xi that she liked. Even her hair was disgusting.

“Miss Jiang Xi, do you like the things that were moved from my house yesterday? This morning, I had someone pack up some of the jewelry that the empress had given me before. I was planning to send them to you when I get back. Miss Jiang Xi looks very good in them, so I hope you don’t mind.” Zhao Panpan looked innocent and seemed to like Jiang Xi a lot. She no longer mentioned the word ‘Xi’ in her words. She was not stupid enough to deliberately mention this in front of Jiang Xi.

The empress lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly. She thought that Zhao Panpan was probably going to be controlled by Jiang Xi and would be bullied many times in the future. Fortunately, the selection of concubines was about to begin. The things that she had previously given to Zhao Panpan were unique in the world. How could Jiang Xi be worthy of her rewards?

Just when the empress thought that Jiang Xi would politely refuse Zhao Panpan’s offer, and even Zhao Panpan thought that Jiang Xi would refuse, she heard Jiang Xi say in a carefree manner, “Thank you. Zhao Panpan, you’ve seen many good things in Jing City. If you don’t like them, you can just give them to me. I don’t mind.

Zhao Panpan and the empress choked at the same time. Zhao Panpan felt a pain in her heart. Did Jiang Xi not know what humility was?

“Then… I’ll send the things to you when I get back to the Zhao family.” Zhao Panpan stammered. She had thought that Jiang Xi would be more reserved in front of the empress, but she was caught off guard by Jiang Xi’s matter-of-fact attitude. The things she had mentioned would be her dowry when she married into the Eastern Palace in the future! They were all the dowry that the empress had given her!

Even the empress’s heart ached a little. Jiang Xi was demanding an exorbitant price and even asked Zhao Panpan to send all the things to her. How shameless was she?

“I have just received a few sets of brocade bestowed by the emperor. Take them back later and make a set of clothes. The next time you enter the palace, wear them for me to see. The selection is about to begin, so you should also keep some good things for yourself.” The empress looked at Zhao Panpan and thought to herself that Zhao Panpan was no match for Jiang Xi with her kind appearance.

“Your Majesty, the crown prince is here.” The palace maid came forward to change the tea and considerately poured a cup for Jiang Xi, afraid that she would catch a cold after getting caught in the rain.

The empress and Zhao Panpan were both stunned.

“Mother, I knew you were having a heart-to-heart talk with Xixi again. Am I your biological child or is Xixi your biological child? ” The crown prince came in from outside with a smile. Even though there was someone holding an umbrella for him from behind, he was still drenched in the rain.” Mother, if you continue to be biased, I won’t accept it.” The crown prince laughed, always forgetting to change the way he addressed her. He still called her by her former nickname, Xixi.

“You child, why did you come to see me on such a rainy day? Be careful of the rain damaging your body. Someone, quickly change the crown prince’s clothes and pour him a hot tea.” The empress quickly stood up, and the old maidservant behind her personally poured the Longjing tea before the rain for the crown prince.

When Zhao Panpan heard the Crown Prince call her ‘Xixi’, her body stiffened and the fingers under her sleeves turned white.

Crown Prince Dong Sheng paid his respects to the empress and then discovered that there was a little girl sitting in the pavilion. The little girl’s head was lowered and her face could not be seen clearly. She only looked slightly familiar, but the crown prince did not take it to heart.

“Mother, did you know that General Zhao Ruifeng went to see father just now? Why do you think he entered the palace? I’m dying of laughter.” Crown Prince Dong Sheng, rarely revealed his emotions. At this time, he was laughing so hard that he could not straighten his back.

The empress’s expression was indifferent.

Crown Prince Dong Sheng did not mind and continued saying with a smile, “Zhao Ruifeng made several contributions before, and my father waived his rewards, saying that it was useless for him to take it. But today, he came to the palace to ask for rewards and even made a list of which rewards and when they were given. He remembered it clearly. Zhao Ruifeng is saving money for his future wife, so he actually asked my father for money.
