The queen asked the imperial physician, who told everyone, "Noble Lady Hui was the most seriously injured, with wounds all over her face and body. Noble Lady Wan just fainted due to choking on water, and will be fine once she wakes up."

Concubine Hua said in an ambiguous tone: "The sisters are indeed very affectionate, but the wound on Concubine Hui's face looks like it was caused by a hairpin. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

Concubine Cao echoed, "The other day, the two of you showed your deep sisterly love in front of the Empress, without fighting or competing with each other. Now that one of you has lost her appearance, I want to see if the two of you can still continue to show your deep sisterly love."

Lipin continued, "If the wound on Concubine Hui's face was caused by the hairpin on Concubine Wan's head, can she still have a deep sisterly relationship with Concubine Wan?"

Concubine Cao quickly replied: "If it were me, there would be absolutely no way."

As they were talking, the announcement of the Emperor's arrival came in.

The queen took a few quick steps forward and took the lead, leading all the concubines to pay their respects and welcome the emperor.

The emperor came in from outside with a worried look on his face. After asking everyone to calm down, he was about to go to Zhen Huan's room, but his eyes glanced at Li Jingyan.

He stopped where he was, squinted his eyes to look at Li Jingyan, and then went into Zhen Huan's room.

The queen glanced at Li Jingyan, and the worry she had in her heart disappeared. She thought that the emperor really liked the new and disliked the old, and even if the old person was as new as before, the emperor would just take a look.

Hua Fei snorted coldly and said, "Qi Fei, even if your beauty remains the same, you still can't keep the emperor."

Li Jingyan said bluntly: "I am already old enough to be a grandmother, why should I keep the emperor?"

After these words came out, the Queen and Concubine Jing's face turned bad, and Concubine Hua also felt that Li Jingyan's words hit her heart. Concubine Qi was a fool. She could say anything else but always mentioned age.

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes angrily and helped Songzhi sit down aside.

The other concubines were relieved, thinking that Concubine Qi would compete with them for favor, but they didn't expect that Concubine Qi had no such intention at all.

The emperor stayed in Concubine Wan's room for a quarter of an hour before coming out. After coming out, he went to see Concubine Hui.

Seeing that everyone was still there, he said, "Let's all go."

Everyone bowed and said goodbye again, leaving one after another.

Just after waking up from her nap, Cuiguo started chirping again: "My queen, Lady Wan is awake."

Li Jingyan nodded, and after washing up, he asked Cuiguo to move the rocking chair to the yard.

Cuihua was peeling grapes aside, and Li Jingyan was eating grapes while rocking in a rocking chair. She had adapted well to the life of a palace concubine.

Before dinner, the third prince came to Changchun Palace.

After dinner, the Third Prince said to Li Jingyan, "Mother, my son has been reading very smoothly these past two days. He can understand the meanings that he didn't understand before now."

Then, the Third Prince said, "Today, the Emperor summoned his son to the Yangxin Palace. The Emperor asked him about his homework, and he answered all of them. The Emperor praised him for his enlightenment and rewarded him with a set of four treasures of the study."

Seeing that the Third Prince was still a little silly, he showed off proudly.

Li Jingyan touched his son's smooth forehead and praised him, "My son is indeed smart. He just got smart late. His talent is definitely top-notch."

The Third Prince was praised twice in one day, and his face turned red with shame. He said shyly, "Thank you, mother, for your praise, son."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the Third Prince patted his head and said, "Son, I almost forgot. The Emperor said that my son has come of age and is planning to give him a wife first."

Li Jingyan looked at the 18-year-old boy, nodded and said, "My son, it's time for you to get married. When you choose your wife, just pick the girl you like and tell your mother."
