Having Someone at Home Is Nice

Zhu Kongshan’s words caused Noble Lady Yuan’s heart to tremble, as they had touched her heart. Returning to the position of imperial concubine was something that had been lingering on her mind this entire time. What her niece had said was correct. She should make some plans with the Empress. She could not allow that woman to sit in that position so freely.

Once she made up her mind, she nodded and said: “Kongshan, don’t worry. Aunty fully understands. Right now, your cousin’s situation is a little worrying. You don’t know it, but nearly the entirety of the capital has become the ninth prince and Imperial Daughter Ji An’s territory. The people in the capital overwhelmingly support the two. In addition to this, the ninth prince was victorious in a battle. He is popular with the masses and creates even more of a stir in court!”

“Aunty, calm down.” Zhu Kongshan advised her: “We women can’t do anything about what happens in court, nor is it convenient for us to speak on it; however, Kongshan has faith that I can help with the matter of the people. In the end, Kongshan is a girl and is unable to do anything against the ninth prince, but I can think about things from Imperial Daughter Ji An’s side. But hearing about the things that she has done in the capital, she sounds like a powerful person. Kongshan was thinking that we cannot face her directly. That would be disadvantageous, and it would not capture the hearts of the people. What cousin Mo is currently missing the most is the hearts of the people! Aunty, please allow Kongshan to go back and think about it. Finding an opening is the most important thing. At the moment, we need to do everything that she can do. Isn’t it just capturing the hearts of the people? Not to mention anything else, but Kongshan is quite proficient at winning people over. She also has Hundred Herb Hall, but Kongshan can find other opportunities and will not let cousin Mo’s reputation continue to be like this.”

Noble Lady Yuan nodded and sighed, saying: “That Imperial Daughter Ji An is very smart, and she protects her people very well. Her younger brother was sent to Xiao Zhou’s Yun Lu Academy, and her younger sister was sent to Ji An Prefecture. She does still have a younger sister in the capital, but that younger sister has never gotten along with her. Even if she died, she would not blink. It is quite pointless.”

“That is not necessarily the case.” Zhu Kongshan smiled, “It’s as they say about gossip being a frightening thing. The sisters having a bad relationship is something between them, but to outsiders, she is still her younger sister. Going too far would still cause people to feel a chill.”

Zhu Kongshan did not continue, but Noble Lady Yuan understood what was meant. She was now in the palace, and there were many things that she could think of but could not do. As for her Mo’er, he really was missing a girl with a brain like Kongshan at his side. Noble Lady Yuan was thinking like this and became even more resolute in wanting to have Zhu Kongshan stay at Xuan Tianmo’s side. Just like how the ninth prince had Feng Yu Heng at his side, a smart woman would help their man. Her Mo’er needed this sort of person.

Zhu Kongshan left Cun Shan Palace and went straight toward Jing Si Palace. With Noble Lady Yuan’s arrangement, she was able to go in and sit for a while. It was just that the familiarity in Noble Lady Li’s eyes was completely different from Noble Lady Yuan’s. She even rudely said to Zhu Kongshan: “You called me aunty? But I can’t even figure out who you are. Did my family have you as a relative?”

Zhu Kongshan did not feel awkward about it. They had never met before, and not recognizing her was normal, thus she explained: “My mother is a young miss of a concubine from the Liu family. She is the third sister of you two noble ladies.”
