After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 140: Come here as ordered

Finally, several people were invited into Jinxiu Hall by the princess.

Nanny Jiang sat at the bottom, and everyone else stood and listened to the conversation between the two.

The smile on the princess's face never stopped for a moment.

As soon as Nanny Jiang sat down, she began to explain her purpose, "Princess, I am here today on orders. These things are given to Concubine Qiao by the master. Please send someone to call Concubine Qiao over."

The princess was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she reacted immediately, "I see, then Madam, you have to wait for a while."

After saying this, the princess signaled to her personal maid beside her, and then the maid went out.

Begonia Courtyard.

When Qiao Rongjin heard that the personal nanny of the virtuous concubine in the palace asked her to go to Jinxiu Hall, she was a little surprised, but she quickly packed up and went to Jinxiu Hall.

The ones who accompanied them were Qinglian and Qinyun, and the rest stayed behind to look after the house.

Along the way, they met Wu, An and others. Except for Yan, they were basically heading to the princess's Jinxiu Hall. Seeing that Qiao Rongjin was the same, and was accompanied by the princess's personal maid, they all understood that this time they probably came specifically to find Qiao Rongjin.

Seeing this, several people went over immediately.

It was reasonable and logical that Concubine Qiao's position was higher than theirs, so she had to pay her respects. Moreover, they were planning to find out what Nanny Jiang was doing in Zhao Qiao's mansion?

"Sister Qiao is well."

"Sister Qiao, how are you? Oh, isn't this the maidservant beside the princess? I wonder why the people in the palace are looking for Sister Qiao?" The person who asked the question was Meng, who usually didn't talk much. She perfunctorily bowed to Qiao Rongjin, and then spoke to the personal maidservant beside the princess.

Her people just came back quickly to tell her that a maid from the palace was heading towards the princess' residence. After sending someone to inquire carefully, she found out that it was Nanny Jiang who was by Concubine Xian's side. In addition, she heard that she was carrying several things in her hands, so she immediately brought people out.

Anyone who asked around would know that Nanny Jiang was coming, so it was not surprising that she met the other concubines. This time, Nanny Jiang and the others came without any concealment and with great fanfare. It was said that many people followed them to the gate of the palace to watch.

Hearing Meng's words, the others also looked at the princess's maid.

Qiao Rongjin glanced at a few people indifferently.

Thanks to Qin Yun's network of contacts, she knew that these people had been laughing at her behind her back ever since Chen was brought back by that bastard Prince Rui. Even the other servants in the palace began to become more active. In the past, they would always greet her in a flattering manner when they saw her, but these past two days, they pretended not to see many of them. Even the people in the kitchen were very selective in what they served, and the portions of dishes delivered these past two days were obviously not as large as before.

Qiao Rongjin saw all of this, but she didn't care.

This is how it is in the palace. It is common to treat people differently based on their status. Even though she had just been named the concubine of Prince Rui by the Emperor and had been rewarded with many things, in the eyes of the people in the palace, that was just a moment of envy at most. What they cared about was whether they could win the favor of Prince Rui. After all, the Emperor had no time to take care of the affairs of his son and concubines. For everyone in the palace, the most important thing was whether they could win the favor of the male owner of the palace.

Just like Chen, even though she did so many wrong things, Prince Rui still rescued her. Although the people in the palace secretly laughed at her for being injured like this and acting cruelly, there was no one who did not envy her for being favored by Prince Rui. After all, she had done such a big mistake, but Prince Rui did not punish her. Instead, he rescued her and even hired a doctor. This was something that almost no other woman in the palace could compare to, not even the princess.

People in the palace privately said that the prince was sincere to Chen, otherwise he would not have done this. So, even though Chen was carried back to the palace in such an embarrassed state, except for the masters in the backyard who couldn't help but ridicule her that day, the rest of the servants in the palace treated her well. All the servants in the palace did not dare to neglect her. After all, she was someone that the owner of the palace, His Royal Highness Prince Rui, cared about.

The owner of the palace, Prince Rui, favors Chen and wrongs Qiao. This shows that Chen cannot be offended. Even though Qiao is a concubine and has a higher status than Chen, she is still not as good as Chen. This perception quickly spreads in the minds of people in the palace, and almost all servants think so.

Of course Qiao Rongjin understood, but as long as it wasn't too much, she wouldn't take it to heart. But if it was too much, she would not be the one to be punched.

Upon hearing this, the princess's maidservant lost all her smile and said expressionlessly, "My masters, the nobles in the palace are still waiting. I have to take the concubine there. Bye." After saying that, she looked at Qiao Rongjin.

Qiao Rongjin naturally wanted to leave quickly. It was boring to stare at these women here. A person can have almost eight hundred minds in his mind, and it was very tiring to deal with them.

So I just left without saying anything.

The princess' maid followed behind her.

Meng was left with a gloomy face.

She felt she was being ignored.

Looking at the maid's figure, she was so angry that a barely perceptible coldness flashed across her eyes, but her face was still calm and indifferent, "It seems that my status is indeed not worthy of talking to the maid next to the princess."

Seeing Meng's look, the others ignored her and went straight after Qiao Rongjin and his group.

They could see clearly that Meng had gradually shown some differences these days, which was completely different from her previous attitude of being taciturn and not participating in anything. Maybe she was a little flustered. After all, she had not seen the prince many times since she entered the palace, and she had served him in bed as many times as An who entered the palace at the same time. She was almost a nobody in the palace. It was normal for her to be anxious. If she acted reserved in the palace, the prince would not even look at her. She had to try to make her presence felt. I guess she had figured it out.

The guesses of several people were indeed correct. Meng also realized that if she didn't fight for it, she would not even have the chance to meet the prince, so she could only give up her previous route and take the initiative.

Seeing that those people ignored her and just left, Meng's face became even uglier.

"Master, let's go quickly, or we won't be able to catch up later." Meng's maid hurriedly reminded.

Hearing this, Meng said "Hmm" and walked quickly towards the crowd.

Splendid Hall.

It was very quiet, and there was no chatting at all. Mainly because the princess could see that Nanny Jiang didn't want to chat, so she didn't force a chat to ease the atmosphere. She just asked people to bring tea and cakes from time to time. The total number of words she said was no more than ten, and most of them were just greetings at the door.

Just when the princess felt her back aching from sitting, Qiao Rongjin and his group finally arrived.
