Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 532 Hexagram 8

"I have met my father."

The Eighth Prince's Consort Song Su'e lowered her head guiltily, lowered her brows and bowed respectfully.

Before paying her respects, she secretly glanced at the woman beside His Majesty.

Why? Why didn’t the emperor have people around to monitor him when he was having an affair, so she could see him.

Why is she so miserable?

She won't be silenced, right?

If she had known earlier, she should have gone to the East Palace to complete the condolence mission and returned home earlier. She was still wandering around the palace. Now, she has bumped into something she shouldn't have seen.

Song Su'e's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart was churning and shaking.

"You are from the Eighth Family, why are you entering the palace now?"

Qin Zhi held the woman in his arms even though she struggled slightly.

The Eighth Prince's Consort Song Su'e lowered her head, her eyes wide open, and a secret joy welled up in her heart, hidden under shock and fear.

She wanted to rush out of the palace immediately and show off in front of the Eighth Prince. She and Song Su'e had learned some new gossip that no one else knew.

"My daughter-in-law has been ordered to go to the East Palace to visit Jiang Liangdi."

The decree to promote Jiang Yulan to Liangdi and demote Jiang Lanzhi to Min Guipin was issued on the same day. Song Su'e just learned about this from the palace maid who led the way. Before she could even utter any sighs, she arrived at the Pepper Palace and asked around, but to no avail.

She didn't care and was secretly gloating, thinking about going to Yilan Palace to comfort her mother-in-law. However, she was stopped by the guards at the door of Yilan Palace on the grounds that Concubine Min was under house arrest and was not allowed to see anyone.

Song Su'e didn't want to go to the East Palace so early to talk to Jiang Yulan, whom she didn't like very much, nor did she want to return home too early for fear of being accused of being perfunctory by the Eighth Prince. So she came here to wander around and enjoy the scenery, hoping that she might meet some lady and be invited to sit in her palace. But she ran into His Majesty and -

"Under orders, whose orders?" Qin Zhi couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the Eighth Prince's wife's revealing expression and honest words.

"My daughter-in-law's mother-in-law, Concubine Min, said that my cousin lost her son and was depressed. She asked my daughter-in-law to come to the palace immediately and talk to Concubine Jiang Liang in the East Palace and comfort her."

"Min Guipin was confined to Yilan Palace and was able to pass on messages, which shows that she is doing well in the palace. Have you gone to see Concubine Jiang? Are you leaving so soon?"

Song Su'e advocated a mentality that as long as she was not unlucky, whoever was unlucky could be unlucky. She ignored His Majesty's evaluation of Jiang Lanzhi and said bluntly: "My daughter-in-law came to the palace in a hurry, and I haven't thought of the words to comfort her. I am afraid that I will say something wrong and make things worse, so I came to take a look around. I have thought a lot and haven't gone to the East Palace yet."

"Have you thought it through now?"

Song Su'e nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice.

She was now anxious to see Jiang Yulan and after completing her mission she would return home to tell the Eighth Prince about her shocking discovery.

"I have met the Eighth Prince's Consort. She seemed to not see me from beginning to end. Do you know me?"

Seeing that Song Su'e wanted to leave with a secret excitement, Shen Huining slowly got up from Qin Zhi's arms.

Song Su'e's mind was spinning.

Should she know him or not? Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to just pretend they’ve never met?

The Queen Mother is such a nice person, why is her niece so aggressive? She, Song Su'e, is the Eighth Prince's consort, so it should be the Princess of Anqing who pays respect to her.

Shen Huining hasn't become a concubine yet, and hasn't become the stepmother of her and the Eighth Prince. Can't she just pretend nothing happened?

"I met the county princess when I was in Chuxiu Palace." Song Su'e did not mention Shen Huining's aunt the queen at all. She only mentioned that she first met the Anqing county princess during the selection.

Shen Huining nodded at Qin Zhi, put his hand in Qin Zhi's and asked him to hold it.

"Go ahead, Zhang Deli, see the Eighth Prince's wife off."

"My daughter-in-law is resigning."

Qin Zhi looked at Shen Huining, who had buried her face in his arms, and laughed, "Are you scared now? You insisted on dragging me out to see the thin ice on Taiye Lake. Do you feel like you're walking on thin ice now?"

"I'm not afraid." Shen Huining said stubbornly.

She and the Queen are different from Miao Heqing and Miao Yueji, their aunt and niece. Miao Heqing and Miao Yueji are of similar age, with only two draft picks as age difference. They grew up together, just like sisters. She was raised by the Queen.

Shen Huining likes Qin Zhi, but is afraid that other people will know. However, she can't help showing off and provoking him.

"Don't worry, no one dares to know what they shouldn't know."
