The eunuch laughed, “The master is also a beauty.”

“A beauty can be compared to others. As for her… forget about it, there’s no comparison.”

“Luckily, she’s not one of His Majesty’s concubines, so she poses no threat to us.”

“So what if she is? With Concubine Jin around, who can surpass her?”

“The master has not been in the palace long and is unfamiliar with many things.” The eunuch lowered his voice, “Look at this Princess Consort of Yu, how does she compare in appearance to Concubine Jin?”

The concubine thought for a moment and laughed, “No wonder I felt familiar when I saw her just now, but I thought I’d seen her somewhere before. It turns out they do have a resemblance.”

“That’s right.”

“What do you mean?” The concubine became interested.

The eunuch whispered a few words in her ear.

The concubine was surprised, “So it turns out that the person His Majesty really cares about is the mother of Princess Consort of Yu?”

“Isn’t it? Only Your Highness has recently entered the palace, but among the old people in the palace, who doesn’t know that Concubine Jin is acting as her substitute. It’s just that no one dares to say it openly, but everyone has a clue in their hearts.”

The concubine paused for a moment, and then sighed sadly, “If I could be so favored by His Majesty for the rest of my life, even as a substitute, I’d be willing. Unfortunately, Heaven didn’t bless me with such a face.”

Jiang Ning’s hands were in the pockets of her long skirt, walking slowly.

Gucheng pushed the wheelchair, “Sit.”

“I won’t sit.” Jiang Ning casually plucked a tender yellow flower from the roadside, “Gucheng, do you know, I have dreamt countless times of walking in the spring sunshine. You see, people still need dreams because they might come true unintentionally.”

Gucheng looked at her back and said nothing.

He did not insist on her sitting in the wheelchair again.

“Gucheng, do you have any dreams?” Jiang Ning suddenly asked.

Gucheng shook his head, not paying attention to Jiang Ning walking in front of him, nor to the fact that she couldn’t see him shaking his head.

Jiang Ning looked back at him, “Everyone, more or less, has some dreams, right?”

Gucheng didn’t say anything.

As always, he was quiet.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, arrived at the Zhao imperial family’s ancestral temple.

The ancestral temple was quite large, resembling a small palace.

There were Imperial Army guards at the entrance.

Gucheng quietly followed her, walking up the steps, seemingly not worried about whether they could enter or not.

The Imperial Army soldier stepped forward to stop them, “This place is off-limits, unrelated personnel should not approach.”

Jiang Ning reached out, opened her palm, and revealed a translucent jade pendant, carved into the shape of a small phoenix, very exquisite. On the back of the jade pendant, the character ‘Jin’ was engraved.

“Do you understand?” Jiang Ning smiled.

“Ah, if it’s Concubine Jin’s command…”

“Concubine Jin is unwell, so I am here to visit the Prince of Yu on her behalf.”

“Oh, all right, please follow me.”

The Imperial Army soldier quickly stepped aside and took the initiative to lead Jiang Ning in.

Jiang Ning blinked at Gucheng.

Gucheng carried the wheelchair with one hand and followed.

But the soldier stopped him, “You can’t go.”

“Ah, my leg hurts!” Jiang Ning sat down on the wheelchair with a pout, “Gucheng, push me in.”

The soldier:”…”

Now they knew that this cunning beauty was the Princess Consort of Yu.

Who else would come here in a wheelchair?

The ancestral temple was very quiet.

When they pushed open the innermost room’s door, they could see Li Hongyuan.

He was kneeling on a cushion, with a small table in front of him, covered with many papers.

Some were filled with writing, others were blank.

Hearing the sound, he looked back and saw Jiang Ning, his expression slightly startled.

Jiang Ning stood up, walked in, and laughed, “Are you surprised to see me?”
