After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Early the next morning, as soon as Liu Yunxiang had breakfast, the gatekeeper came over and said that the eldest princess was here.

Liu Yunxiang took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "You came early enough."

Jin Yan was still a little worried: "Girl, I listened to your words. I have cleaned up the paste that stuck the coral on yesterday and barely fixed it together with a string. Now it is placed in the yard and covered with red cloth. It's strong, but it will break if touched."

Liu Yunxiang nodded and looked at Zijin again: "Watch my expression later."

Zi Jin flexed his fist and said, "Don't worry, girl."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, put on a smile, stood up and went out. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she saw the eldest princess and her party were already approaching.

The eldest princess was walking in front, followed by Murong Lingyi, followed by Su Rumeng, Jiang Yunying, and several ladies.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at these people, and finally took a deep look at Murong Lingyi, and then greeted them with a smile: "Eldest Princess Jin An, third sister-in-law Jin An, ladies, if you can come, my Zhenbei Palace will be really prosperous."

The eldest princess smiled and said, "I heard that the red coral was a tribute from the East China Sea. It was a rare treasure. We couldn't see it in the palace before. Now that the emperor has given it to Lao Qi, we can take advantage of Lao Qi's glory. See the world.”

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "It is indeed a rare thing. Please come in quickly. I have prepared refreshments."

"Just skip the refreshments. We are here to see the coral. Princess, just don't hide it from us." Murong Lingyi curled her lips and said.

In fact, the moment he saw Murong Lingyi, Liu Yunxiang understood that she was the one who planted spies in her house. She was very hostile to her, and it was reasonable to watch her every move.

Just by getting rid of Liu Yunxiang, Yan Mu will marry her?

How can it be!

Liu Yunxiang's smile faded a little and said, "I thought the princess was still cultivating her body and mind at Ziyun Temple."

She almost drowned Aunt Zhou. The Marquis of Wuchang couldn't bear it anymore and went to the palace to complain to the emperor. Although the emperor loved this niece, he also knew that she had indeed gone too far. In order to appease the old minister, he punished her to go to Ziyun Temple to reflect on herself.

It had only been half a month before she came back, as arrogant and defiant as ever.

"My uncle loved me, and when he heard that I couldn't get used to the vegetarian food in that nunnery, he quickly ordered me to come back." Murong Lingyi said proudly, "What can you do to me?"

Liu Yunxiang didn't care, but someone tried so hard but didn't hurt Murong Lingyi in the slightest, so he must be aggrieved. Liu Yunxiang looked at Jiang Yunying and saw that her face darkened when she heard Murong Lingyi's words.

"Third sister-in-law, you have to go out. Our sister-in-law has been missing for some time." Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and held Su Rumeng's hand. ,

Su Rumeng smiled and said, "I was sick a few days ago. Thank you for visiting me, but I can't pass on the illness to you, so I didn't see you."

"So is he cured now?"

"All right."

Seeing Su Rumeng's forced smile, Liu Yunxiang must have something on her mind, but it was hard for her to ask in front of so many people.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Jiang Yunying again, "Concubine Jiang, you are here too. I thought you would never visit the gate of my palace again."

He used Yuan Qingyue to design her and frame her, but now he actually has the nerve to come to her house.

Jiang Yunying bent down and apologized, "Princess, there were many misunderstandings before, please don't take it to heart."

"Misunderstanding?" Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Concubine Jiang said it was a misunderstanding, right?"

Liu Yunxiang greeted the other ladies one by one. Murong Lingyi had already become impatient and urged him to go in and see the coral.

She was so anxious because she couldn't wait to punish her.

When walking inside, Jiang Yunying took a step faster and almost bumped into Murong Lingyi. Murong Lingyi turned around and gave her a disgusted look, and cursed: The princess I invited here is the fourth imperial concubine, not some trash.

The sound was not loud, but it was enough for Jiang Yunying and the ladies behind to hear it.

When they came to the courtyard, everyone saw a square table in the middle of the courtyard with a tray on it. The coral should be on top, covered with red cloth. Murong Lingyi went over first and walked around the table.

There was excitement in her eyes, "Why are you covering it with red cloth? Take it away and let us see the true appearance of this red coral."

"What's the hurry, Princess? Let's drink tea first."

"We are all here to see the red coral given by the emperor, not to drink tea."

"My tea is Yuqian Longjing, please try it quickly."

Liu Yunxiang poured a cup of tea and brought it to Murong Lingyi.

Murong Lingyi pushed it away, "The princess pushed back and blocked her, and she was still trying to be mysterious. Could it be that this coral cannot be shown to others?"

Liu Yunxiang was funny, "How did you say this?"

"Maybe it broke. You were afraid that we would find out, so you built a fake one?"

"Why did the princess say that? Do you know something?"

Murong Lingyi choked and could only accept the tea handed over by Liu Yunxiang.

The eldest princess put down the teacup and said, "Drink the tea too. Can we take a look at the coral?"

Jiang Yunying thought for a while and said with a smile: "I heard that this red coral is very rare and is known as one of the seven treasures in the Buddhist scriptures. This red coral given by the emperor must have a pleasant color and a shiny texture."

Murong Lingyi glanced sideways at Jiang Yunying, "Sure enough, he comes from a small family and has never seen much of the world."

Jiang Yunying smiled: "The princess is well-informed and probably doesn't care about seeing this red coral. Why are you here today?"

Murong Lingyi choked again and gritted his teeth: "You dare to control what this princess does?"

Jiang Yunying lowered her eyes and clicked her tongue: "Of course I don't dare. After all, when the princess shows off her power, anyone will be thrown into the water."

"you!"

The eldest princess frowned and said very impatiently: "Okay, quickly take away the red cloth and let everyone see this red coral."

But Liu Yunxiang said again: "Everyone, please try these snacks, especially this jujube cake, it is very sweet."

"We are all here. You let us drink tea and eat snacks. You clearly don't want us to see it. In that case, I, the princess, can help you take away this red cloth."

With that said, Murong Lingyi stepped forward and grabbed the red cloth.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at Zi Jin who was standing on the opposite wall. Zi Jin immediately hit a small stone, hitting the crook of Murong Lingyi's leg. Murong Lingyi couldn't help but bend his legs and rushed forward, knocking the coral to the ground.

The red cloth floated away, leaving only the torn coral on the ground.

Liu Yunxiang pretended to be shocked and shouted: "Princess, you have caused a big trouble. You broke the coral given by the emperor!"

Everyone was also shocked. They gathered around and looked at the broken coral on the ground. No one dared to speak for a while.

The eldest princess's eyes widened, and after the surprise, she went over and helped Murong Lingyi up.

"You, why are you so careless!" She couldn't help scolding Murong Lingyi.

No one saw the pebble, only Murong Lingyi fell down, as if it was intentional.

Murong Lingyi hurriedly looked over the wall, but saw nothing. She could not defend herself for the moment and could only glare at Liu Yunxiang hatefully.

Liu Yunxiang covered his mouth with a handkerchief to hide his uncontrollable smile, and then looked at the eldest princess: "Eldest princess, what do you think we should do?"
