Fu Dong's eyes widened: "Your Highness, people are not almond cookies, they will not remain unchanged forever.

Xiao Zhan has already welcomed a woman into his home and made her his concubine. How can you still trust him so blindly? "

Jiang Xue sighed softly: "Fudong, things are often not as simple as they seem. Instead of arguing here, it is better to find out the truth behind it."

She recalled her last conversation with Xiao Zhan, where he asked her to trust him under any circumstances.

And she always trusted him unconditionally. Her intuition told her that Yun Che was still the same.

After Feng Ziqing was released from house arrest, he summoned his mother, Madam Feng.

Due to health reasons, Mrs. Feng was allowed to enter the palace a month later. Seeing her daughter's obviously thin figure, Mrs. Feng was full of heartache.

"Mother, the child is fine, please don't worry."

Feng Ziqing hurriedly helped her mother sit down and asked about her health with concern.

"I am old, it is normal for me to feel uncomfortable occasionally."

Madam Feng comforted her, "Empress Dowager, your second sister-in-law is very filial to me and takes good care of me. You don't have to worry."

"I heard that my second sister-in-law is indeed virtuous. I feel relieved to have her around to take care of me."

Madam Feng continued, "Recently, Yun Che has often been around me, and he has also taken in a gentle and lovely concubine, who is very pleasing."

Queen Mother Feng Ziqing frowned and asked, "I heard about this. Why did he suddenly want to take a concubine?"

She turned to Madam Feng and said, "Mother, do you know? In fact, Yun Che only has Miss Changle in his heart."

"I know."

Madam Feng nodded and said, "Yun Che talked to me before he decided to take a concubine. He said that he has always liked Changle.

But after returning from Southern Xinjiang this time, he came to his senses and still wanted to find another gentle and considerate person, and then have more children. "

"Why is this happening?" Feng Ziqing asked.

"Maybe Jiang Xue's various actions in southern Xinjiang chilled his heart. It is said that Jiang Xue acted on her own will many times without caring about his safety, which made him completely give up the idea.

Otherwise, given his previous attitude of firmly refusing to take a concubine, how could he have done what he did today?" Madam Feng explained.

Feng Ziqing snorted coldly: "I think he is asking for trouble. There are countless beauties in the world, but he has fallen in love with a cruel woman like Jiang Xue. Fortunately, he has come to his senses now, otherwise he will be hurt by her sooner or later."

Madam Feng continued, “I have something else to discuss with you.

A few days ago, Miss Changle came to the mansion and took a special liking to Ming'er. She wanted him to enter the palace to be the emperor's companion. The eldest sister-in-law disagreed and asked Ming'er to pretend to be sick and delay it until after the New Year. "

“Yun Che thinks that Chang Le may have done this out of a desire to make amends, not with ill intentions. Although I still have doubts about her, entering the palace as a study companion is a rare opportunity, so why not give it a try,” Madam Feng added.

“This is a good thing and we should seize the opportunity.”

Feng Ziqing agreed: “Although I hate Jiang Xue to the core, her intention this time may be to make up for it.

She had also persuaded the late emperor to let me go in order to compensate the Feng family. Seeing Ming'er being spoiled by my sister-in-law, she must have been very upset.

Besides, my eldest sister-in-law comes from a merchant family, so she is inevitably a little stingy, and she dotes on Ming'er too much, so the child becomes spoiled. Entering the palace to study with him will be good for Ming'er's growth."

"Since you agree, let's make it a deal. Ming'er must be allowed to enter the palace to study with you after the New Year."

“Mother, remember to send more fertility soup to Yun Che’s new concubine. Once he has his own child, he will think less about Jiang Xue, and we can feel more at ease.”

"Don't worry, I will do it."

As the New Year approaches, the capital city is bustling with activity as people are busy preparing New Year's goods to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

News came from Feng Mansion that the new concubine was pregnant.

Although it was only a concubine who was pregnant, this was the first time the Feng family had a baby since the two princes died for their country. Madam Feng ordered that the New Year must be celebrated with great fanfare.

Upon hearing the news, Fu Dong clenched the hilt of his sword, and an urge to question surged in his heart.

But she remembered Jiang Xue's warning and finally suppressed the impulse.

"Princess, Xiao Zhan already has a child with another woman. You can't have any more illusions about him." Fu Dong couldn't help but say.

Jiang Xue did not respond, but opened the window and looked at the gray sky and the howling north wind.

The cold winter in the north brings white snow every year. But now that I have returned to the capital, this is the first time I have seen snow.

"Your Highness, are you missing life in the North?" Fu Dong asked softly.

"Although it was full of dangers, the time I spent with my comrades is memorable. However, the capital also has its advantages."

Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest next year. I hope this snow can bring good luck to the Qian Kingdom."

Fu Dong felt relieved, realizing that the princess cared about the world and was not just concerned about her own personal affairs.

Even if Xiao Zhan broke his promise, the princess would still be a noble member of the royal family.

At night, snow fell quietly, and the whole capital was covered in silver. The cold made Jiang Xue no longer go out, and she stayed in the study all day.

New Year's Eve arrived quietly. After the New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Xue returned to her bedroom.

Worried that she might feel lonely, Fudong brought some sweet potatoes from the kitchen and roasted them on the charcoal pot. Soon, a sweet aroma filled the air.

Fu Dong carefully peeled the sweet potato and handed it to Jiang Xue. "Princess, please use this to warm yourself up."

Looking at the sweet potato in her hand, Jiang Xue couldn't help but think of the past when Xiao Zhan once handed her a hot sweet potato in the same way in winter.

Putting on her cloak, she opened the door and stepped into the flying snow.

Fu Dong hurriedly followed, looking at the lonely figure, a trace of sadness rose in his heart. Although the princess was in a high position and had great power, she was alone on this night when the whole family was reunited.

"Princess, where are you going?"

"It's too stuffy in the room, come out and get some fresh air."

"It's snowing so hard outside, you'd better go back first to avoid catching a cold. I'll turn down the charcoal fire."

"No, I want to go somewhere."

"Where is it?"

Jiang Xue remained silent and just quickened her pace. Seeing this, Fu Dong stopped asking questions and followed closely behind.

About an hour later, the two finally stopped. When Fu Dong saw Xiao Zhan's villa in front of him, his heart sank and he understood Jiang Xue's thoughts.

She was secretly angry and filled with hatred for Xiao Zhan and his pregnant concubine.

Since he couldn't stay with the princess until the end, why did he seduce her heart in the first place?

Jiang Xue stepped into the yard, looked at the white snow on the ground, and suddenly became interested: "Fudong, do you want to build a snowman together?"

"Your Highness, this is a child's game." Fudong replied.

"Would you like to build a snowman with me?"

Fu Dong smiled and said, "Of course." As long as Jiang Xue wanted to do something, she would be happy to do it.
