Eighty-six

  Jinziya stayed at the Cheng Wang Fu for three consecutive days, originally planning to take the initiative to cultivate feelings with the Cheng King, but in the end, not only did he fail to cultivate feelings, but he didn't even see the Cheng King's face. This person is like this, the more elusive something is, the more his heart owes it and thinks about it.

  Kaneko Masashi is no exception.

  His Majesty's birthday is approaching and King Wang is busy, that's understandable, but shouldn't he at least return to his own home?

  After some thought, she decided to enter the palace and see if Cheng Wang was busy in the palace or delayed by other things.

  Palace

  At noon when it was time for a meal, Bai Xin dressed up as a small eunuch and led two palace servants to deliver food to Yan Mo.

  Just as I was about to enter the temple gate, I heard a woman's voice coming from inside. The soft and gentle tone was full of charm and flattery.

  The voice seemed somewhat familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite recall where. It wasn't until the other person referred to themselves as 'Ziya' that she suddenly realized - wasn't this the Jinling State Princess who had taken over their house?

  When she realized who the person was, her expression suddenly turned cold.

  How can you be so tactless!

  Everyone has vacated their nests for her to live in, yet she still dares to come and pester? Doesn't she think they're dead or something?!

  Inside, there was only the sound of women's voices, as if she were chatting with someone, Bai Xiner straightened her waist and gave a signal to the two palace maids with her eyes, then swaggered in.

  This humble abode is a temporary office arranged by His Majesty for me to work on my writing.

  As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw a man behind the high desk intently writing something, while on the opposite side of the desk, a charming woman gazed at the man's serious working posture, her eyes so infatuated that Bai Xincheng cursed inwardly.

  "Your Highness, dinner is served." She called out to a certain man proactively, her face cold as she led two palace maids in placing the dishes on a side table.

  As soon as she entered, Wang Ye smelled the cold air on her body from afar. He pursed his lips and only then raised his head to say in a cold voice to Jinzi Ya who had not left: "This is where I work, it's not convenient to receive the princess, please go back."

  After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked straight to Bai Xinyan. After dismissing the two palace maids, he stretched out his long arm and scooped up Bai Xinyan, who was dressed as a eunuch, into his embrace.

  "What delicious food did you make for your husband today?" Compared to his polite but cold attitude towards Jinzi just now, it's not hard to hear the warmth in his tone at this moment. For the past few days, she had been thinking of him working hard and specially went into the kitchen herself to personally prepare meals for him with her own hands. This sense of satisfaction was something she had never experienced before.

  In the past when she was in Maoshan Village, although she also cooked for herself, the conditions were extremely poor at that time and it was already not bad to just get by, where would there be an opportunity to carefully taste her craftsmanship.

  Now his own wife is using all her mind to cook for him, and it's strange if this flavor isn't delicious.

  Bai Xin shot him a cold glance, it was clear at a glance that he was extremely displeased.

  A scene of a king and an eunuch embracing each other left Jinziya stunned behind them.

  "Your Highness... You..."

  Hearing her voice, Bai Xincheng not only turned cold but also wanted to hit someone.

  A head poked out from behind Yan Mo, a fake smile plastered on his face as he looked over: "I didn't expect Princess Zi Ya to be here too? What's wrong, not used to living in the Cheng Wang Fu?"

  After seeing the true appearance of the little eunuch clearly, Jinziya was even more astonished: "Princess Cheng, how did you end up here? And...and in this state."

  Bai Xin's face turned red as she pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze, ignoring him.

  Seeing this, a flash of coldness quickly passed through Jinzi's eyes.

  "Hurry up and eat, it'll get cold soon. I won't reheat it for you." She pulled him into the chair from her arms, saying with a cold face.

  She put the dishes from the tray on the table one by one, and she also sat down beside it. Without saying a word, she started eating alone.

  That horse's face is so long, even if I were blind, I couldn't help but see it.

  But the woman behind him really had nothing to do with him at all.

  Moreover, the woman had just come in and hadn't waited for him to drive her away before she arrived.

  He let out a sigh and picked up his chopsticks to serve some dishes into her bowl: "Eat slowly, your husband isn't competing with you, don't choke."

  Bai Xin originally wanted to continue making a face at him, but her gaze swept to the woman who was still lingering not far away, staring tightly at the couple. She turned her eyes and suddenly retracted her horse face, bursting into a smile towards the man.

  "Hei, I want to eat that!" The dishes were right in front of her, but she pointed at the man and ordered him instead.

  Although she knew her behavior was a bit childish and laughable, when dealing with some people who don't have good intentions, it doesn't matter whether the method is childish or not, as long as it works!

  "Good." Yan Mo's slender lips curled up slightly, her deep eyes filled with a hint of smile and indulgence, as she wished to feed her, but not by putting the food in her bowl, rather by bringing it to her mouth.

  The dishes she made were all home-cooked dishes, and some didn't even have names, they were just made casually.

  A small piece of tofu was brought to her mouth, she opened her mouth and didn't take a big bite, but instead took a small nibble, then frowned and showed a face of disgust: "Not delicious."

  "......?!" Yan Mo's mouth twitched. You're dissatisfied with something you made yourself? He sent the remaining small half block of tofu to his own mouth, and learned from her to wrinkle his brow, saying lightly, "I think it tastes extremely good."

  Next, Bai Xinzhi had him prepare a few more dishes for himself. Anyway, every time he only took one bite, and the rest all went into Yan Moyu's stomach.

  She knew in this era, even with the closest people, such intimate actions were impossible.

  Especially men, most men in this era have dirty lower bodies, but their mouths are absolutely clean.

  Of course, the man in front of her was an exception.

  If he dares to despise her saliva, hum!

  As expected, the beautiful face of Kinoshita Yana, who was thoroughly ignored by people not far away, almost changed color, filled with incredulity and unimaginability.

  They don't even mind getting dirty?!

  And to think that Cheng Wang would treat a woman like this...

  This time, Jinzi Ya couldn't help but seriously take a good look at Bai Xinchuan. That frail appearance could be considered delicate at most, and with the eunuch attire, no matter how he looked at her, he felt disgusted and annoyed. What on earth did Cheng Wang see in her?

  She is a stunning beauty, a princess of a country, standing here for half a day, and he hasn't even given her a proper look.

  Just now she thought he was busy with official duties and had no time to see her, but at this moment, still didn't give her a straight look.

  "Is it an order from Your Highness?" Her self-esteem slightly wounded, she involuntarily called out in a soft and pleasant voice that was full of grievance.

  His eyelids drooped, and his eyes sank suddenly, with a flash of cold intent at the bottom.

  Bai Xin suddenly realized there were still people around and lifted her head to look over.

  "Huh, princess, why are you still here? Ah, look at me being so careless, I didn't even notice you were here, I'm really sorry."

  Kaneko Masaru clenched his fists, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He immediately put on a smile and turned to Shirahane.

  "Please, Your Highness, don't be polite. I came to discuss some matters with the Crown Prince, but since you're having a meal, I won't disturb you. I'll come back later."

  "It's unnecessary!" Just as Jinzi Ya was about to turn around, Yanmo Yu's clear and cold voice came over lowly.

  “……？！” Kanako stopped in her tracks, looking back with a mixture of expectation and confusion. The man only gave her his profile, but even just that was enough to make the woman deeply infatuated. His sharp and beautiful profile, with its distinctive features, was both unique and restrained, exuding an air of maturity. His high nose and thin lips were especially captivating. His majestic robes accentuated his nobility, and his tall, muscular physique radiated the charm of a mature man. In short, he was a perfect man, one who was worthy of her.

  Aunt's eyesight is really good.

  Especially this man's gentle and doting side towards women, it is even more so that all the women in the world will be moved by it.

  Heaven knows how much she wanted to rush over and push that thin and short woman away, hoping that the man who had caught her eye at a glance would be so patient and doting towards her.

  Just as Kanako was having a beautiful dream, that cold voice came with a few hints of indifference, pulling her back from the fantasy to reality.

  "If the princess feels that our Shu Xia Kingdom has not been hospitable, she can go to the Minister of Rites. I believe he will make arrangements for the princess. If there is nothing else, please ask the princess to stop here, this is where the king handles official business, and it's best if outsiders don't enter, otherwise the king will suspect that the princess has come to Shu Xia Kingdom with another purpose. The king also needs to accompany the queen to dinner, please."

  Bai Xin's lips curled up slightly as she secretly observed a certain princess's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

  As soon as he heard those words, Jinzi Ya's face turned white in an instant, making the two red clouds on her cheeks look particularly unnatural. She first bit her own seductive and sexy red lips, and then her eyes suddenly filled with unwillingness, looking at Bai Xintian.

  "Your Highness, you said this is where you handle official business and that outsiders are not allowed to enter, but what about her? Why would she appear here?"

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo slowly turned around and gazed at her with a calm expression: "She is the king's concubine, and I am willing to have her by my side. What? Does the princess have any objections?"

  Jinzi Ya's beautiful eyes narrowed, seeing him finally willing to look her straight in the eye. However, when she met his gaze with a hint of grievance, she inexplicably felt a surge of anger inside.

  His eyes were clear and cold, facing his own stunning face, without a hint of surprise or admiration, but instead, she felt his disgust for her from the color of his eyes.

  Her hands clenched even tighter involuntarily.

  Until her lower lip was bitten sore, she regained some control over her emotions. She immediately raised her chin and bowed slightly to Mo Yu: "Zi Ya remembers the words of Cheng Wang Gong. Since that's the case, Zi Ya won't disturb you further, farewell."

  After finishing speaking, she turned around with her own maidservant and quickly left.

  Hiss!

  Bai Xin's shoulders shook as she suddenly burst out laughing.

  Just now, she seemed like a peacock turning into a hen.

  "Will being a husband make you happy?" He pulled her onto his lap, looking at her with a faint smile. Lately, she had been depressed and worried, wasn't it because she was afraid he would be influenced by other women?

  Look at that sly look, always baring its teeth and claws... It seems to be a kitten, but in fact it's a tiger.

  Seeing the hint of flattery in his eyes, Bai Xincheng rolled her eyes and reached out to pinch his handsome face: "Good boy - go back and I'll give you candy as a reward."

  He pinched her black face and pulled down her claws, bowed his head and bit her lips. "Just deliver yourself to your husband for dinner tonight, forget about the rest."

  "......?!" Bai Xin's mouth twitched at the corner. Was this the rhythm of being very hungry?

  She took a glance at the dishes on the table and hastily jumped down from his leg: "Hurry up and eat, no dawdling allowed."

  A faint emptiness in his chest, Yan Mo gave her a somewhat displeased glare, the implication clear - don't even think about staying over tonight!

  While eating, Bai Xin suddenly thought of something and furrowed her brow again.

  "Moyu, you think that princess will give up?" Although the princess left decisively, her unwilling expression was exceptionally clear.

  He glared at her with displeasure: "Is she willing to be involved with me?"

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng teased him with a sentence: "Missing out on such a beautiful woman, don't you regret it?"

  Yan Mo put down his chopsticks and glared at her, about to grab her. Bai Xinyan quickly jumped far away, staring at his angry face and laughing.

  "They were just joking, why are you getting angry?"

  I'm so fed up with her. Can she be any more annoying?

  It was clear that she herself had been worried about it all along, yet she still wanted to tease him with these things and then blame him for them.

  "Come here!" He reached out his hand to her, his face twisted.

  Bai Xin's face was stained with lipstick as she walked away.

  He pulled her into his arms, and as expected, it was a passionate kiss that almost made her faint.

  After a long while, panting and leaning in her arms, Bai Xinzhi suddenly heard him say:

  "After a while, we'll go out of the palace for a trip. In two days, it's the emperor's birthday banquet. We'll return to the mansion to fetch some things and take you out for a stroll."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xinzhu straightened his body from his embrace: "Has His Majesty granted you leave?"

  He raised an eyebrow: "Just because he doesn't allow it, I can't give myself a holiday?"

  "... Bai Xin's face turned pale and her lips twitched. From that day on, she no longer addressed him as 'Your Majesty'. She had also guessed the reason - it was because of the princess that father and son had fallen out."

  She didn't think she should feel ashamed or uneasy. On the contrary, she thought it was necessary to cool down the emperor a bit.

  Who made his wife come out and do dirty things!

  If they don't show some attitude as a couple, then this palace will be full of their "stepmothers" and everyone can trample on them.

  This time she'll just remind the emperor for now, next time he dares to indulge his woman and tries to ruin their marital relationship, then she'll kidnap his son!

  Anyway, he has many sons, losing one won't be a loss for him...

  Anle Palace

  Kin'no Yaichi told the Empress about the events of the past few days while wiping away tears with a pitiful expression.

  "Aunt, how can the king treat me like this? In what way am I inferior to that woman he married? These past few days in the palace, he hasn't even come back to see me once. When I went to find him, I was humiliated by him... If things go on like this, do you think I still have a chance of becoming his concubine?"

  The imperial concubine frowned, looking at her tearfully sobbing niece, feeling both heartache and annoyance.

  She didn't expect Cheng Wang to be so unfeeling. As the princess's attendant, Ziyue was also serving the princess, and even if she didn't like it, she shouldn't have been treated with such indifference.

  "Alright, Ziya, stop crying and listen to your aunt. That Cheng Wang's temperament is indeed difficult to grasp, even the Emperor has to be cautious around him, but it's precisely because of this that it shows his importance in the Emperor's heart is not light. You should all the more seize the opportunity, don't feel wronged just because of this little setback."

  Jinzi Ya raised her head, and her beautiful eyes were filled with sparkling tears: "But Auntie, he doesn't even care about me, how can I seize the opportunity?"

  Such a man is heart-stirring, but speaking so hurtfully, how can she bear it?

  From a young age, even the emperor and empress had never turned their faces away from her, but he actually didn't take her seriously. She was the number one beauty of Jinling Country, compared to that Crown Princess, even a blind person should know who is more suitable, yet he not only treated her with indifference, but also spoke heartlessly...

  Jin Guifei comfortingly patted her hand and smiled, "What's the big deal? Cheng Wang was never a sentimental man. He wouldn't fall in love with someone at first sight. Now he's being cold to you only because he doesn't understand you yet."

  Jinzi Ya was somewhat uncertain, but in her heart, a glimmer of hope arose due to the words of Jin Guifei. "Auntie, are you telling the truth? Is it that Crown Prince Cheng doesn't understand me and that's why he treats me like this?"

  "That's for sure." The imperial concubine nodded confidently, "You're noble and beautiful, why wouldn't he like you? Besides not being familiar with each other, Auntie can't think of a better explanation." Men in this world are all romantic creatures, which one doesn't love beauty? Emperor Cheng now dotes on only Empress Cheng, probably because he hasn't met many women, hasn't seen the good qualities of others, so appears devoted. She just didn't believe that there's a man in this world who would push away a beauty within reach!

  Upon hearing this, the crystal tears in Jinzi's eyes sparkled. "Sister, you tell me, what should I do now to win the favor of Prince Cheng? I see he dotes on Princess Cheng so much that it's almost as if he's holding her up to the sky."

  Jin Guifei smiled, but her smile was clearly mocking a certain woman.

  "Zi Ya, don't let one thing make you lose your own prestige and boost someone else's morale, got it? Besides, King Cheng and Queen Cheng have just gotten married, the novelty hasn't worn off yet. Moreover, King Cheng is usually introverted and reserved, he doesn't interact with many women, so he doesn't know what other women are like, that's why he's so infatuated with Queen Cheng."

  Xiao Zhang Long Bao: Moe Moe Niang Qīn chī huò diē bā

  Her only love. That Princess Chong, you've seen her too, is fundamentally nothing to be feared of. I heard that she and the Duke's household have a not-so-harmonious relationship. Looking at herself, in terms of appearance, there are many women more beautiful than her. In terms of talent, as a woman who grew up in the countryside, she's almost like an uneducated country bumpkin. Such a useless woman, how can she make you lose confidence in yourself? The one who should be feeling inferior is her, not you, do you know that?

  Listening to Jin Gui Fei's analysis and encouragement, Jin Zi Ya's depression and grievance in her heart finally decreased a bit.

  "But aunt, how can I make the king notice me?" The aunt said he wasn't that kind of sentimental man, no wonder her beautiful appearance couldn't move him, so what could she do to move him and attract his attention?

  Jin Guifei fell silent for a moment, her bright and beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of mischief, before she suddenly curved her lips into a sly smile.

  "Don't worry for now, in two days it will be the Emperor's birthday. As long as you perform well, you will definitely win the favor of the Crown Prince. You have two days to prepare properly, and at that time, I will find a way to let you show off your unique skills. We must surpass the Crown Princess and make her feel ashamed. Hmph! At that time, we'll see how she loses face!"

  At these words, a glimmer of expectation and hope flashed in Jinzi's eyes.

  ……

  After leaving the palace, Yan Mo and Bai Xinyan did not return directly to Cheng Wangfu, but instead chose to go out and have some fun first.

  Yin Du received the message and brought people to where the two had settled down to rest.

  In the wine house, Yin Du reported on the recent events in the mansion and repeatedly emphasized a certain princess's shortcomings, almost to the point of demonizing her.

  Bai Xin's face was expressionless from head to toe, only the corners of her mouth twitching non-stop. She knew this guy's temperament, the more you talked to him, the more he would go on and on without end.

  "Take her belongings back to the palace immediately, and if I find any trace of her when I return, you will be sent to the military camp for a year of training!"

  Upon hearing this, Yin Du didn't dare to waste any more words and led the order directly back to Cheng Wang Fu.

  Yin Du had just left when the two of them were feeling relieved, but suddenly they heard loud shouting and cursing from outside.

  And it's still the kind where men and women shout at each other.

  And the voice is also very familiar.

  It seems like it's causing quite a stir.

  The two of them didn't dare sit down again, they got up and walked out of the small room, looking around, it was simply unbelievable.

  Outside was the lobby of the wine building, and when they just arrived, there were still many guests scattered in the lobby. But at this moment, the guests in the lobby disappeared, leaving only two men and women fighting each other.

  The two men's fight was not just about their fist and footwork, but also about who had the most ruthless hidden weapons. These hidden weapons were none other than the tables, chairs, boards, and stools in the hall.

  Watching a scene more thrilling than World War I, Bai Xin's mouth corners almost twitched.

  Are you two weirdos going to fight to the death or something?

  They must have had a deep grudge in their past life, which is why things are like this now.

  Broken tables and chairs all over the ground, tables, chairs, and stools flying in mid-air at any moment. Just one glance is enough to make people marvel at how fierce each other's combat power index is.

  "You're a bastard with the surname Xia! If I don't kill you today, my surname will be yours!" Liu Xue Lan's face turned iron-green as she bellowed, clearly enraged.

  This son of a bitch is too despicable!

  She just sneaked out to have some fun with Yu Hao, and coincidentally got sand in her eyes. Then Yu Hao helped blow the fine sand out of her eyes. Who knew this bastard would suddenly appear, without saying a word, he knocked Yu Hao unconscious. And then he was going to kill her with a fierce aura.

  How can this not make people angry?!

  "Liu Xue Lan, you shameless woman! You dare to do such a thing behind my back? I will not rest until I strangle you to death today!" This detestable woman is simply shameless! He hadn't left the palace for several days, and today he finally came out, only to hear from his subordinates that this woman was here. He rushed over hastily, only to see this woman and that White Yu Hao actually kissing.

  Still in this grand and magnificent place, they came together intimately!

  Those lips were kissed by him, and she actually dared to let another man touch them. Today, he must teach her a lesson, or else in two days they will be sleeping together!

  Two men were fighting fiercely and bloodily on this side, while in a certain corner, a middle-aged man occasionally raised his head to look around, occasionally lowered his head as if doing something, only faintly hearing the sound of rustling and slapping, which seemed somewhat different from the crowd in this hall filled with shouting and fighting.

  Bai Xin walked over curiously and patted him on the shoulder.

  "Aren't you going to move further away? Aren't you afraid they'll hit you?"

  "Ah!" The middle-aged man was suddenly slapped by her and instantly exclaimed.

  At this time, he finally saw clearly that the man was holding an abacus in his hand, and the clicking sound was coming from the abacus. Looking at the middle-aged man's attire, it was obvious that he was the boss here, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

  "Uncle, what are you doing?"

  "Girl, look at this... here... hehe..." The middle-aged man pointed to the messy hall and then to his abacus, obviously calculating his losses.

  "Didn't these two often cause trouble at your place before?" Bai Xintong asked curiously. Why did she feel that the shopkeeper seemed to be in a state of excitement? Shouldn't he be heartbroken and distressed about his own property being destroyed?

  At least you should shout a couple of sentences 'stop fighting' to make sense.

  "Does the young lady know them?" The shopkeeper asked instead of answering.

  Bai Xin nodded slightly.

  The shopkeeper glanced at the two people fighting over there and suddenly sighed, saying: "I don't know what's going on between them. In the past, it was that woman who chased after him to fight, but now it's turned around, and he's picking a fight with her."

  Bai Xin's mouth twitched as he asked with a hint of teasing: "Uncle, did you make a lot of money?"

  Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper hastily covered his abacus with his hand, as if afraid of being seen the numbers displayed on it. He smiled slyly at Bai Xinyan and said, "I didn't make much profit, it was that customer who voluntarily compensated me. I'm a legitimate businessman, I've never cheated anyone."

  Bai Xin smiled and didn't say anything else, turning around and leaving.

  It wasn't until the two of them were panting that she finally spoke up and greeted Liu Xue Lan.

  Upon hearing her voice, Liu Xue Lan finally shifted her gaze over and excitedly flew in front of Bai Xin Yan.

  "Xin Ran, where have you been these past few days? I've looked everywhere for you and couldn't find you. I asked the steward of your household, but he refused to tell me your whereabouts even if it meant being beaten to death."

  Bai Xinzhi just smiled and didn't answer her. Seeing a certain man following and chasing over, she quickly hid Liu Xuelan behind her back.

  "What is King Fengde doing? It's said that it's not easy to deal with women, but look at you, aren't you afraid of being laughed at behind your back?" She wasn't trying to interfere, but she really couldn't stand it anymore. Apparently, the Emperor had already helped this high-and-mighty Prince choose his future Princess, but he was still clinging to Xue Lian and wouldn't let go - wasn't that forcing Xue Lian to become his concubine?

  She really can't stand this kind of man who eats from his bowl but still looks at the pot.

  Watching Xia Lixun walk over with a dark and gloomy face, Liu Xuelan's expression immediately turned cold.

  "Son of a bitch! He just knocked Yu Hao out!"

  Hearing this, Bai Xin furrowed his brow: "Then where is he?"

  Liu Xuelan pointed to a certain elegant room: "I put him inside."

  At this time, Xia Lixuan walked over, her long fingers pointing at Liu Xuelan's nose and scolding: "Liu Xuelan, do you still want to save face?! You did that kind of thing behind my back, do you still have any justification?"

  "What have you done?" Bai Xinyan turned her head and curiously asked the woman behind her.

  Liu Xue Lan spread her hands, gritting her teeth: "I didn't do anything, and I don't know what he's furious about. He suddenly rushed over and knocked Yu Hao unconscious."

  "Haven't you done anything yet?" Xia Lixun's face was filled with anger, his eyes blazing with fierce flames as he glared at a certain woman. "In broad daylight, you actually let him kiss you, and you still dare to say you haven't done anything?"

  Pfft!

  Bai Xin suddenly laughed.

  Looking at the man in front of her with a fierce aura, she sneered and laughed: "Feng De Wang, there's less than a month left, and Xue Lian is going to marry my third brother. What business do you have with an unmarried couple being affectionate?"

  "She is this king's woman, who dares to marry her besides this king?"

  "Hmph!" Bai Xincheng's face was filled with disdain, "I've heard that the Emperor has already prepared to bestow a marriage on Prince Fengde, and it seems that your future princess isn't Xue Lian, right? Why aren't you keeping an eye on your future princess, instead of entangling yourself with my future sister-in-law every day? How many women do you want?"

  Upon hearing this, Xia Lixun's face turned black. His gaze at Liu Xuelan suddenly became evasive.

  A moment later, he said to Bai Xincheng with hatred: "She married this king just like your brother and sister!"

  "This king doesn't need a brother like you who brings shame." Just then, Yan Moyu, who had been quietly observing from the side, suddenly spoke up.

  Bai Xin looked back and suddenly burst out laughing.

  Think about it, no matter who Xue Leng marries, she'll probably become her brother's sister-in-law. It seems they're really a bunch of monkeys!

  Looking back at the man who suddenly didn't say a word, Bai Xindye sighed and said: "Feng De Wang, there's no such thing as perfection in life, nor can you do whatever you want. If you like someone, respect her, letting go may be a kind of happiness, not to mention that you're not lacking women, are you?"

  After finishing speaking, she pulled Liu Xuelan to the elegant room where Bai Yuhao was being held.

  Watching the figure leave indifferently, Xia Lixun clenched his fists but didn't follow, only his deep eyes constantly surging like rolling thick clouds and fog.

  Let go?

  Isn't there a lack of women?

  Yanmo walked past him, paused for a moment, and suddenly gave him a complex look, then stepped away from his line of sight, leaving only a meaningful sentence in his ear.

  "It's a shame that I have a brother like you who is so indecisive."

  ……

  On the second day, in the palace, Bai Xin was walking through the imperial garden when she unexpectedly 'ran into' a certain princess who was admiring flowers in the garden.

  This time, she didn't wear a prison uniform, but instead wore a magnificent dress that represented her identity.

  The two of them each brought palace maidens and went towards each other.

  Bai Xin was originally going to pretend she didn't know him and walk past, but just as they were about to pass each other, a arm suddenly blocked her way.

  "Let's talk, Princess. I have something to say to you."

  Bai Xin raised an eyebrow and gazed at him, a faint smile playing on his lips: "It seems we're not familiar with each other."

  That day she was tricked by the imperial concubine Jin, who used the emperor's flag to deceive her. She thought it was her own fault. But after knowing that her husband had a tough attitude, no one dared to try and trick her again.

  She can pretend to be silly, and she can also pretend to be cool.

  Jinzi Ya didn't expect Bai Xincheng to have a completely different attitude from that day, and even compared to the little eunuch-like her yesterday, today's her was dressed in magnificent attire, noble and elegant, and even her expression had become several points more arrogant, and her words were no longer as polite as before.

  She furrowed her brow and stared tightly at Bai Xincheng's face, asking somewhat knowingly: "It seems that the Crown Princess doesn't like Zi Ya very much?"

  "Really." Bai Xincheng nodded without thinking, "The princess actually saw this too, which means her eyesight isn't bad."

  "You!" Upon hearing this, Jinziya's face immediately turned cold. She didn't expect the woman to be so rude at times.

  That day she and her aunt went to find her, she was very gentle and generous, even if it was yesterday, she didn't have this kind of arrogance, it seems that she really underestimated this woman!

  "Is it because Zi Ya is going to marry into the Crown Prince's household that the Crown Princess doesn't like her?"

  Bai Xin gave her a cold glance, then swept her from head to toe with a slanted gaze, "Is Princess Zi Ya so confident that she can marry our prince?"

  Speaking of confidence, Jinzi Ya ignored Bai Xinzhi's rude gaze, her beautiful chin lifted slightly, and she looked back at Bai Xinzhi, who was half a head shorter than her, with an arrogant tone:

  "Since Princess Xiang can marry Prince Xiang, is this palace inferior to Princess Xiang?"

  Pfft!

  Bai Xin's mouth twitched slightly at the corner. If that was the case, then the number of wives her husband had would be countless.

  Seeing her disdainful face, Jinzi Ya gritted her teeth and leaned in close to Bai Xinduan's ear: "Princess Cheng, I'll let you know the difference between you and me. If you're smart, you'd retreat now rather than seeking humiliation for yourself. Perhaps then I can still tolerate you in the future."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin's eyes turned cold as she met her gaze, "So, Princess, are you threatening me to abdicate?"

  "Hmph!" Jinzi Ya snorted disdainfully, "Someone like the princess consort is not even worth threatening. I'm just reminding you to have some self-awareness and not make a fool of yourself in front of everyone."

  After finishing speaking, she gave a glance to the maid who was following behind her, and with a beautiful face, she walked past Bai Xincheng's side with her chest raised.

  Bai Xin clenched her fist and thought about whether she should pounce on the disgusting woman and give her a good beating right now.

  ……

  Returning to her bedroom, as soon as she entered, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her and knelt on the ground.

  "The princess, Xiao has come back."

  "Blood Shadow?!" Bai Xinzhen suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't the Emperor say he was going to lock you up for half a year? How did you come back? You didn't escape from prison, did you?"

  "...?" Hanging his head, the cold and hard corner of Blood Shadow's mouth twitched slightly. "I thank Princess Wang for pleading with the Emperor on my behalf, allowing me to come out ahead of schedule."

  Bai Xin was stunned, somewhat puzzled. It seemed that she had asked Mo Yu to plead for mercy, but the emperor only agreed not to kill her, and although the death penalty could be avoided, the punishment would still be severe, and she would have to be imprisoned for half a year. As for where she would be imprisoned, no one was willing to say, resulting in her never seeing her again.

  "Get up first." He pulled her up from the ground, and Bai Xinzhen walked with her towards the inside, holding her hand to sit down together. However, Xue Ying's expressionless face pulled out her hand, standing stiffly in front of her.

  Seeing this, Bai Xinzhen let out a silent sigh.

  Looking at her face, which was thinner than before, she felt a pang of heartache, this girl must have suffered a lot.

  No matter how big her mistake was, she committed a crime for her. She is like a soulless robot, not only does she not blame her, but also willing to come back, how can she not be moved?

  "Has His Majesty been giving you a hard time?" She asked with some choking sounds while re-grasping her somewhat chilly hand.

  "Returning to the queen, nothing." Blood Shadow still looked the same, but seeing White Heart Stain's slightly red eyes, her dark pupils seemed to lose a few degrees of coldness.

  "It's better that there isn't. I've dragged you down. Sorry." Bai Xincheng wiped the corner of her eye, sincerely apologizing to her. This girl who was even better than her own mother really didn't know what to say to express her feelings.

  Xue Ying suddenly let go of her hand and knelt down on one knee: "Princess, everything was done by Xue Ying's own accord and has nothing to do with the princess."

  Looking at her like that, Bai Xincheng's heart didn't know what to say. This girl doesn't understand human emotions at all! She'll have to be taught slowly in the future...

  The master and servant met, still the same as before. Bai Xincheng asked a question, Xueying answered one sentence, if not asked, she wouldn't say anything else. It made Bai Xincheng want to scratch his hair in frustration.

  At that moment of silence, Bai Xinzhen suddenly thought of a certain princess. To be exact, she had been thinking about the last words spoken by that princess since returning from the Imperial Garden.

  Want her to lose face?

  It's just a matter of making a scene at tomorrow's banquet and embarrassing her.

  "Blood Shadow, can you help me with something?" That princess was looking for trouble, no door was safe!

  "Please speak, Your Highness." Blood Shadow replied with his head bowed.

  "You have a waist card that allows you to enter and exit the palace freely, now I want you to go outside the palace to find a chaotic tomb mound and bring back a slightly better corpse for me."

  Digression

  First looking, Liangzi catches insects to go.

  Cough, cough, cough! Yesterday even the diving girls came out to spray, I don't know if the number of people will increase today, cough, cough, cough! Liangzi should wear more helmets for protection today.
