"Hongshi, among all these ladies, is there any that you like?"

When Qingying opened her eyes again, she heard her aunt's voice.

Following the sound, I saw my aunt, the queen, sitting on the phoenix chair, and the third prince Hongshi was standing with his head bowed.

Qingying looked around and found herself standing in a row with a group of young ladies.

Qingying lowered her head. It turned out that she had returned to several decades ago when her aunt was choosing a wife for the third prince.

The Third Prince replied to the Queen in a gentle voice: "Mother is the most loving to her son. I will leave everything to you."

After hearing this, the Queen smiled more broadly and said to Hongshi, "You have to choose your wife. When you find a woman you like, go and talk to the Emperor yourself."

"Now that you have grown up, mother can make the choices for you, but she will not be your master."

Hongshi bowed and turned around to choose.

At this time, Concubine Xi's entourage arrived late.

In the past, Zhen Huan disliked Hua Fei's late arrival the most, and thought Hua Fei was arrogant and domineering.

Now that Zhen Huan has become a noble concubine, she has begun to imitate Concubine Hua's style.

They are all equally ambitious, all aiming for the throne.

Why does Zhen Huan always allow the officials to set fires but not the common people to light lamps?

Qingying glanced sideways, her heart full of ridicule and sneer.

The future empress dowager was indeed very bold.

Look at the imperial concubine’s ceremonial procession and the bright red dress. If you don’t know, you would think it is some important festival.

As both were imperial concubines, Imperial Concubine Jing came with only the people around her, and did not bring any grand ceremonial procession with her.

When Hongshi saw Concubine Xi coming, the smile on his face became a little more prominent.

It seems that Zhen Huan has put a lot of effort into the Third Prince, and her clever words are the best way to fool people.

It was obvious that Zhen Huan wanted to bring down the Third Prince, but she acted like a loving mother who truly cared about him.

Qingying looked at the Third Prince thoughtfully. It seemed that the Third Prince was easier to fool than the Fourth Prince.

The Third Prince bowed to Concubine Xi, and all the ladies knelt down and saluted, Qingying was no exception.

Concubine Xi knelt down and greeted the empress: "May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

The queen looked slightly unhappy, then she returned to her normal expression and said, "Get up."

After Concubine Xi stood up, she looked at Concubine Jing who was sitting next to her, and they smiled at each other.

Sitting next to Concubine Jing was Longyue, who looked very well behaved.

But Qingying knew that, as the old saying goes, mice are born to dig holes.

Concubine Xi looked around and said to everyone, "Everyone, get up."

What a show of power!

The Queen asked Concubine Xi to stand up, but no one dared to stand up with her.

Everyone knew that Imperial Concubine Xi was now the most favored concubine in the harem, so they could only wait for Imperial Concubine Xi to speak, and they would not stand up until they had squatted enough.

After Concubine Xi sat down, she said, "The Third Prince has grown taller again."

After Concubine Xi exchanged a few words with the Emperor, she began to ask Concubine Jing some questions. Then she turned and looked at Qingying.

As expected, the Queen spoke: "Qingying, come here. Meet the Third Prince."

Hearing this, Qingying lowered her head, put away the sneer on her face, bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

Then, Qingying took a step forward and bowed respectfully: "Your servant greets the Third Prince."

It was not like in her previous life, when she walked up to the Third Prince and bowed to him.

The Queen frowned slightly, and the Third Prince turned around and glanced at the submissive Qingying. His attitude was better than in his previous life, and he said, "No need to be so polite."

Qingying replied, "Yes."

Seeing that the Third Prince was gentle, the Queen said, "This is your uncle's youngest daughter, and also your cousin."

When the Third Prince heard about his cousin, the gentleness on his face disappeared, and he spoke unhappily, just like in his previous life: "Cousin."
