Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 556 Leisure Chess

Nanxun Hall.

"Where's the Tenth Princess?"

On the couch, Zhao Shujia leaned against the headboard, raised her hand and slowly lifted the veil, then stood up.

Seeing that she was awake, the palace maid immediately stepped forward and tied up the gauze curtain, "Selected Concubine, His Highness and Her Highness the Seventh Princess have left the palace together to attend Her Highness the Second Princess's Spring Banquet."

Bai Liangyu, formerly the Noble Consort Shu, is now the Selected Consort Zhao Shujia. Because she has ten daughters, the emperor still remembers her and bestows rewards upon her year-round, with a generous dowry. She also takes refuge with the Noble Consort Zhen, Lü Xiyin. Although her status and treatment have declined, her situation still remains somewhat decent.

Even when paying respects to the newlyweds, he felt somewhat uncomfortable, so Zhao Shujia basically never left the gate of Nanxun Palace unless he could stay there.

"I almost forgot, it's already noon."

"Your Highness left early."

"Where's the eighth princess?"

"I heard from His Highness that the Eighth Princess went to the Second Princess's residence yesterday. She must have other matters, otherwise why would she leave His Highness and the Seventh Princess behind?"

After all, the seventh princess, the eighth princess and the tenth princess are a small group that play together every day. Unless they are in their own palace, if you see one of them outside, it means the other two princesses are there too.

Zhao Shujia was wearing a plain inner garment and sitting in front of the dressing table, slowly combing her long hair. She seemed lost in thought as she thought about what Concubine Zhen had instructed her.

In the case of Concubine Jiang's miscarriage in the Eastern Palace last year, Concubine Zhen Guipin hoped that the case would involve the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince, but she didn't want to do it herself, so she hinted to her to put the blame on Li Renan.

Li Renan is her uncle on the surface, and when she was still Bai Liangyu, he was her uncle, but in fact he is her biological father.

She hated her mother Zhao Guixiu, and naturally hated her father Li Renan as well.

Zhao Shujia had no princes, only ten princesses.

However, Li Renan has a grandson who is a prince - the third prince Qin Mingjin born to Li Xihua.

The third prince and the fourth prince had a good relationship since childhood. They were inseparable in the palace. When they left the palace and built their own mansions, their mansions were adjacent to each other, with a small door in between.

It was only after the Third Prince went up the mountain that the small door was locked.

Zhao Guixiu died and Li Ren'an was imprisoned, but the fifth prince, who was about to go to Annan, bailed out Li Ren'an.

After being spared from imprisonment, Li Ren'an lived a leisurely life as a rich man and is still alive and well.

Zhao Shujia pursed her lips gently in the mirror, her red lips blurred and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

It’s fine as long as His Majesty is alive, but if other princes come to the throne and enfeoff the Third Prince, what should she do?

If the Fourth Prince won the throne, one could imagine what would happen to her and the Tenth Princess.

Concubine Zhen wanted to deal with the Fourth Prince, so she used this to persuade her.

Zhao Shujia knew it in her heart, and on the surface, she was indeed convinced.

The Tenth Princess follows the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess every day. As long as the Eighth Princess is still there and protected by her, the Fourth Prince should not be so cruel to the Tenth Princess for the sake of the Third Prince.

Her desire to deal with Li Ren'an had nothing to do with the Fourth Prince, it was simply because she wanted to deal with Li Ren'an.

With Zhao Shujia's current status, he may not be able to deal with others, but when it comes to dealing with Li Renan, it can only be said that Concubine Zhen Guipin has indeed found the right person.

However, it was indeed a bit far-fetched to implicate the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince in the Eastern Palace case. Zhao Shujia did not know what else Concubine Zhen Gui had done.

Perhaps it was just a ploy to create a rift between the Crown Prince's faction and the Fourth and Fifth Princes.

"Change my clothes. Don't prepare the meal yet. Wait until I come back from my visit to the Empress."

"Yes, choose a concubine."
