  When Wang Xi pushed open the door of the study and entered, what he saw was Nan Qi sitting in front of the desk flipping through documents, his handsome face devoid of warmth, only coldness.

  He heard the sound of the door opening without lifting his head, and instead asked faintly: "What's up?" Although he was indifferent to the outside world, after all, Shuǐ Táo's voice wasn't small either, and he also knew that someone had come to the gate. It's just that he didn't know who it would be, after all, people who deliberately did this were rare.

  Wang Xi was shocked and didn't expect the prince to have heard the commotion. He hastily bowed his head and replied, "Reporting to Your Highness, it's Concubine Jiang who has arrived and is waiting to see you at the entrance of the courtyard." He thought he would hear the prince's angry rebuke, but instead, there was only silence. Thinking this way, Wang Xi's heart skipped a beat - could it be that the prince truly doted on Concubine Jiang?

  In her heart, however, she thought of how the Emperor had recently praised Jiang Luoren, the father of Concubine Jiang, several times in court. She had a plan in mind. Gently putting down the brush in her hand, she said calmly: "Let her come in."

  Wang Xi's heart was shocked and surprised, his grandfather's favoritism towards Jiang Shu Fei had reached such an extent!

  He hastily responded: "I'll go right away!" It seems that he will indeed give more face to Jiang Shu Fei from now on?

  Think again about Jiang Shu Fei's 'favored' son, if she were to gain favor to this extent, I'm afraid the women in the harem wouldn't have any good days!

  He trotted all the way to the entrance of the courtyard, saw Jiang Mingyue's face full of displeasure, and hurriedly smiled and stretched out his hand: "Jiang Shu Fei, Master is asking you to go in! You are a lucky person, one of the few in the backyard!"

  No matter how shocked the other 'servants' were, even Jiang Mingyue herself couldn't believe it. Although she hadn't spent much time with Nan Qi, she could still feel the coldness of the prince. Every day when he came to her courtyard, it was always cold and distant. If not for the fact that he had come to her courtyard a few more times and rewarded her a bit more, she wouldn't have realized that she was favored!

  She came to the study to find the prince, only because that pitiful girl told her that the prince had said he would let her in. She was angry and wanted to try it out for herself to see if she was really favored. Waiting at the door, she felt a bit timid, but if she didn't even ask and just left, she might be laughed to death by others in the backyard! So she gritted her teeth and insisted on seeing him, thinking that even if the prince refused to see her, he wouldn't say anything too harsh.

  Who would have thought that the prince would actually allow her to enter!

  Shui Tao didn't think much, as soon as she heard Wang Xi's tone and attitude, she felt joyful in her heart. She quickly pulled Jiang Mingyue's sleeve: "Your Majesty, let's hurry up and go in! Don't keep the prince waiting!" But in her mind, she thought that now that Master has entered the study, it's likely that all the 'ladies' in the backyard will be turned upside down!

  Who dares to offend the master again? Who provokes the master's displeasure?

  Jiang Mingyue hastily brought out the tray and, as she walked in, gave a sideways glance at Wang Xi who was leading the way: "Wang Gonggong is indeed a good servant." Just now he was still putting on an air of being official and proper with her, but now he's come to bowing and scraping - what kind of person has he become?

  Wang Xi secretly cursed in his heart, but still forced a silly smile: "Please, Your Highness, have mercy and don't bother with this servant. Isn't it just going through the motions? But if Your Highness were to please the Crown Prince, I'm afraid that in the future, entering the study would be a privilege reserved only for you!"

  Being said so, Jiang Mingyue also felt that Mei was right, and with a flick of her sleeve: "Alright, I won't bother you about it either. It's not easy serving the prince." After all, Wang Xi had also been serving by the crown prince's side for many years, so she gave him some face.

  "Knock knock!" Wang Xi lightly knocked on the door and said, "Master, Concubine Jiang has arrived."

  "Hmm." A faint response came from inside, and Jiang Mingyue's joy inexplicably decreased by a few points, replaced by a few more points of unease.

  "Miss?" Shuǐ Táo saw Jiāng Míng Yuè not entering, and called out to her in doubt, "What's wrong with you?" In the past, she had never seen the master so afraid of the crown prince. Could it be that she was overjoyed?

  Jiang Mingyue pursed her lips, a smile spreading across her face. She took out a plate of pastries from the basket carried by Shuǐ Táo and pushed open the door to enter.

  The room was not as bright as the outside, but it wasn't dim either. A window was open to the outside, and the light from outside cast a glow on the desk in front of him. Nan Qi, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, sat there flipping through a book, his head slightly lowered, revealing a face as smooth as jade.

  Nan Qi hadn't heard the voice, slightly raised her eyes, and gave Jiang Mingyue a somewhat infatuated gaze, lightly nodded: "I'm here." Her tone was flat, not like she was treating a favored concubine.

  Jiang Mingyue came back to her senses, hastily smiled and walked forward, placing the pastry dish on the table, saying in a delicate voice: "Master, this is a ' Osmanthus fragrans' cake made by me personally, would you like to try some?"

  The cake is golden and soft, emitting a delicate fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

  He picked up a piece with his chopsticks, took a bite, and the familiar taste instantly made him lose his appetite. He put it down again and wiped his fingers with a handkerchief.

  Jiang Mingyue saw that he had only taken a sip and put it down, and was startled in her heart: "Master, what's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" She remembered that the old servant who used to serve the prince told herself that the prince liked to eat Osmanthus cake! Could it be fake?

  Nan Qi slightly raised his eyes to look at her and said lightly, "It doesn't matter." However, he really didn't like it when people gave him things that belonged to others and claimed they were their own.

  Jiang Mingyue's back stiffened slightly, and she felt that Nan Qi's eyes had just been extremely cold! She stood frozen, unable to speak for a long time.

  The study was suddenly quiet, without a sound.

  Jiang Mingyue watched Nan Qi flipping through the books, her feet aching as she shifted them slightly. She thought to herself that her actions today were truly foolish! Even if she had come, what was the point? The prince would still be speechless towards her.

  Nan Qi's eyes moved away from the book, seeing Jiang Mingyue's cautious appearance, and he faintly opened his mouth: "If there's nothing else, you can withdraw first." He had already shown his favor to her by letting her in; which of his other concubines was lucky enough to enter the study?

  Jiang Mingyue bit her lip, unwilling to leave but having no choice.

  "Grandpa! Grandpa! Something's happened!" Jiang Mingyue hadn't even turned around when she heard the shouting from outside, and couldn't help but furrow her brow. What was going on?

  Wang Xi, who was guarding the gate outside, felt the same way. When he saw the little eunuch running over, he slapped him on the ear: "What are you trying to do with such a loud noise? Are you trying to scare the master and get yourself killed?"

  That little eunuch panted and shouted: "Master Wang, hurry up! Hurry to tell the master that the 9th prince was stabbed by an assassin! He just entered the General's mansion now! It is said that the person who went to report to the palace has already left!"

  Wang Xi suddenly froze, unable to walk anymore, and rushed to the study in a flurry: "Grandfather! Grandfather! It's the Ninth Prince! The Ninth Prince is injured!"

  In the study, Nan Qi heard a loud noise and the book in his hand slammed onto the floor with a "thud"!

  Lao Jiu is injured!
