Jiang Fenghua knew that she was the daughter of the prefect of Yuzhou. She also asked Jiang Jinyan to investigate the prefect of Yuzhou. He was an honest official who did some good things for the people. In the first round, Zhang Jingjing was eliminated by the queen. In the second round, Jiang Fenghua was not too picky about appearance and chose Zhang Jingjing.

She is still quite beautiful after dressing up. The portrait she gave as a gift is not as outstanding as she herself.

Jiang Fenghua walked up to Zhang Jingjing and asked, "What are you thinking about, Miss Zhang?"

Zhang Jingjing suddenly looked up and saw the Crown Princess standing in front of her. She felt that when she looked at the Crown Princess up close, her face was even more beautiful and charming. Her big eyes were bright and clear, and there was a gentle smile on the corners of her lips.

Zhang Jingjing quickly stood up and saluted, "My concubine greets the Crown Princess." After entering the palace, she had already learned all the palace etiquette.

"No need to be polite." Jiang Fenghua said, "Why don't you ask the imperial physician to take your pulse?"

"I haven't even been favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the imperial doctors often go to the palace to take my pulse, so there's nothing to ask for." She said bluntly.

Jiang Fenghua thought to himself that he was a very insightful person.

She was about to leave without staying for long, but Zhang Jingjing stopped her, "Princess, please stay. I have something I would like to ask for your help. Is that possible?"

Jiang Fenghua is not a person who likes to reject others. She will not do anything beyond her bottom line. "What can Miss Zhang do for me?"

Zhang Jingjing looked around. She didn't know how to start. "No...it's okay."

Jiang Fenghua was stunned, so he didn't force her to speak and turned away.

Zhang Jingjing was also afraid that the rumors she heard were wrong. The Crown Princess was just a woman, and she might not be able to help her. However, when she went to Beijing to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last time, she also specifically inquired about some news about the Crown Princess outside the palace.

Everyone thinks that the Crown Princess is kind and a good person, and she has a good reputation outside the palace.

But she was also afraid that everything would change after the Crown Princess entered the palace, which would be inconsistent with the news she had heard. Instead, the Crown Princess would know that her purpose of entering the palace was not really to become the Lady of the Eastern Palace.

In fact, she didn't expect to enter the palace. If the invitation for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet hadn't been sent to her home, she would have had no chance to enter the palace.

She thought: Even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is handsome and elegant, she is ordinary in appearance and will certainly not be liked by the Crown Prince. There are more than ten ladies in the palace now. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, there will be countless palaces and courtyards. She can't compete with them, so she simply doesn't compete and lets everything take its course!

But seeing how kind the Crown Princess is and how she always considers the ladies, the rumors outside the palace are probably true.

She was also afraid that the Crown Princess would not care. After all, it was a big taboo for the harem to interfere in government affairs. It was possible that the Crown Princess would choose to keep a low profile and protect herself.

But the Crown Prince dotes on the Crown Princess so much, and he has done a lot for the people. He is a benevolent Crown Prince. What if the Crown Princess listens to her request and agrees to it!

Just when Zhang Jingjing was in trouble, Jiang Fenghua had already left.

Here, Nanny Wang said to Jiang Fenghua, "The Crown Princess asked the imperial physician to check the pulses of the young ladies. The Crown Princess is really kind. I didn't know that Young Lady Gao and Young Lady Tang were already pregnant. But why did Young Lady Zhu come to join in the fun? She didn't sleep with the emperor, so she couldn't be pregnant at this time, so it couldn't be the Crown Prince's..."

Jiang Fenghua's mind was not on Nanny Wang. She was thinking about Zhang Jingjing. Because she had specially asked her eldest brother to investigate the prefect of Yuzhou, she had a deep impression of him. In the end, her eldest brother seemed to have said that Yuzhou had been very poor in recent years, but she didn't care about it afterwards.

She had been to Yuzhou with her elder brother before. Because Yuzhou was adjacent to their hometown Yu County, Yuzhou was not considered poor at that time.

In fact, Jiang Fenghua was someone who had seen a lot of ups and downs in the outside world. She knew that there were many poor places in the entire Zhou Dynasty and even in the whole world, and poverty was the norm.

In fact, Prefect Zhang was appointed as the Prefect of Yuzhou later. He has been cleaning up the mess for the previous prefect over the years. The previous prefect embezzled money and ran away. Later, Yuzhou encountered natural disasters, which made Yuzhou poorer and poorer, adding insult to injury.

Nanny Wang continued, "Calculate the date. The young lady in the cold palace is about to give birth..."

Jiang Fenghua came back to her senses and just heard the next sentence, "Are you going to give birth?" Her actual due date should be a month later, so she went to see how Ye Susu would make up for the lie.

There was no news from the Su family. It seemed that they were also waiting for Ye Susu to give birth to a child, but they didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl. Jiang Fenghua hoped to give birth to a boy, so as to stimulate Su Xuan's ambition.

Nanny Wang said, "The full-term birth is just half a month away, I have remembered it."

Jiang Fenghua stared at Nanny Wang and said, "Prepare the midwife and the wet nurse. I will go to watch her give birth in person." She must not let them replace the baby with a bastard. She wanted to hold Su Xuan's child in her hands.

Next, Jiang Fenghua kept paying attention to the situations of several pregnant ladies in the Eastern Palace, and she also found the source of Song Jing's greed.

On this day, Jiang Fenghua ordered the kitchen to prepare some delicacies and personally delivered them to Tang Qianran's palace. She was accompanied by Concubine Song, and she also asked someone to invite another pregnant lady to come along.

When the palace maid came to Yuling Palace to invite Gao Liangyuan, Gao Qingtong was chatting in Zhu Zhenzhen's room.

Zhu Zhenzhen asked, "What did the Crown Princess ask Gao Liangyuan to do?"

The maid shook her head, "I don't know, the Crown Princess only asked me to invite Miss Gao to the Yuxiu Palace."

The two looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. They avoided the palace maids, and Zhu Zhenzhen glanced at Gao Qingtong's belly and said to her, "Sister Gao, please be careful. Don't eat anything you shouldn't eat."

Gao Qingtong nodded. She felt that the Crown Princess would not be so stupid as to harm her openly. Besides, they were going to Yuxiu Palace, not Chenxi Palace where the Crown Princess lived.

After Gao Qingtong left, Zhu Zhenzhen paced back and forth in the room, thinking to herself: Why did the Crown Princess ask Gao Qingtong to go to Yuxiu Palace? Yuxiu Palace is Tang Qianran's palace, and now Tang Qianran is pregnant.

She couldn't figure out what Jiang Fenghua was going to do, so she asked Meixiang to follow him secretly and take a look.

In Yuxiu Palace.

Seeing that the Crown Princess had come in person, Tang Qianran hurriedly came out of the house to greet her, "I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."

Jiang Fenghua had a grim look on her face, and looked very imposing. She glared at Tang Qianran coldly, then walked into the main hall alone and sat down calmly in the main seat.

She had her hair in an exquisite bun and appropriate makeup, and she exuded majesty and solemnity, which made people intimidated.

Normally she was always amiable and had a constant smile on her face, but today no one saw a single smile on her face. She seemed like a god looking down on all living things, and nothing in the world could move her in the slightest.

Tang Qianran was so frightened that she trembled all over when she saw this, and she didn't understand why the Crown Princess came in such a threatening manner today.

Jiang Fenghua glanced at everyone in the hall with cold eyes. His intimidating temperament made people even more afraid to approach him. Soon, Hong Xiu ordered the palace maids and eunuchs who followed him to open the food boxes one by one and place them in front of everyone.

No one was confused. Song Jing was invited by Jiang Fenghua personally. When she arrived at Hanzhang Palace, Song Jing was still eating like crazy and seemed unable to stop.
