In the East Palace, as soon as the prince came back, he saw the princess rushing over to him angrily and questioning him: "You also brought the girl from the flower house into the East Palace? Zhao Xuan, you are going too far!"

The prince hurt his hand and was already impatient. At this moment, he said angrily: "Are all the daughters raised by the Taiyuan Wen family as indifferent as you?"

The Crown Princess sneered, "Zhao Xuan, if I hadn't married you, do you think your position as Crown Prince would be secure? If it weren't for the sake of the Wen family, King Wei would have established the third prince long ago."

The mother of the third prince Zhao Heng was born in the Chen family of Yingchuan, and his two cousins ​​were both close confidants of the King of Wei.

The prince was stabbed in a sore spot and did not give the princess face, "Do you think Gu Xi is the prince? If the prince position is so good, Mrs. Wen will not choose you to marry her."

The Crown Princess turned pale, her eyes suddenly turned red, she turned around and left, her tears falling one by one, but she remained silent.

"Go and call those new concubines." The Crown Princess ordered bitterly.

Several teenage girls knelt down timidly. They had no status, and if the Crown Princess wanted to kill them, it would only be a matter of words.

The Crown Princess glanced at them one by one with fierce eyes, and said lightly: "They are all unworthy, drag them down and kill them with a stick."

"Your Majesty, please spare this slave." The youngest girl among them kowtowed and cried. She had no rice at home, so she was sold to a brothel, and then she was favored by the prince.

After traveling for a year from Qingzhou to Chang'an, she is now only thirteen years old.

"Your Majesty, please be merciful. I don't know what I did wrong." She knelt forward and tears fell at the feet of the Crown Princess. "I just want to eat."

She had hope in her heart. Those gentry who were well-read in poetry and literature said that noble people were kind-hearted. She believed it because when she passed by Lingji County, the daughter-in-law of the Zun family in Yu County gave her a steamed bun.

"Noble sir, I am not from Lingji."

"I know, but you are still young. Children will not grow tall if they are hungry. Please take it quickly."

The princess saw the girl in front of her crying like pear blossoms with rain, which was even more touching, and she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart.

The palace maid on the side saw some clues and said softly: "Madam, these people seem to look somewhat similar."

The Crown Princess also frowned. These people entered the East Palace early this morning. Before she could take a closer look, after thinking about it, the Crown Princess became less angry and asked coldly: "What is your name?"

"As one wishes."

The Crown Princess grabbed her chin and ordered the maid in charge: "Mutilate her face and throw her to the cold palace. Keep the others and find out who they look like?"

The maid in charge took Ruyi outside and put a piece of red-hot charcoal on her face. The screams outside were too loud, and the princess said impatiently: "Stop her mouth."

The prince was inexplicably missing a beauty. The next day he came over angrily to question her. Hearing that she had been disfigured, he suddenly lost his interest and waved his hand and said, "That's all. I have to go to the Zichen Palace to pay my respects to my father."

After he left, the Crown Princess drank hot tea and thought to herself, the Crown Prince and the Emperor were not usually so kind and filial, so why were they so diligent today?

The emperor had long dispensed with the princess' greetings. She usually didn't like to hang out in front of the emperor, but today she changed her mind.

"Prepare the sedan chair to go to the Zichen Palace. My father finally woke up, and I have to go and fulfill my filial piety."

As soon as she entered the Zichen Palace, the Crown Princess saw Yu Tingwan. On the night when the Emperor was seriously ill, there were so many people and noisy people that she didn't see clearly what the Princess looked like. When she took a quick look at it, her fingernails were so pinched that her palms oozed blood.

Those maidservants were only three-thirds similar to the imperial concubine, but they were already extremely beauties.

"Princess?" Yu Tingwan was a little confused, "Your Majesty has already gone to bed. If you want to pay your respects, you can skip it."

The Crown Princess calmed her mind and forced out a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm here to see the Crown Prince today."

"The prince just left."

The Crown Princess felt a chill in her heart. Her Majesty was sleeping, there were no servants around, and the Crown Prince and the Imperial Concubine were in the same room.

She couldn't help but think too much, and her eyes couldn't help but stare at Yu Tingwan's neck, looking for any traces.

Yu Tingwan noticed her unscrupulous look and said displeasedly: "Princess, please pay attention to your etiquette."

The prince was not here, and the princess did not want to stay long, so she left after a while.

Gaoyue, who had been hiding in the dark, was silent for half an hour. Finally, she couldn't help but come out and said, "That Crown Princess is not a good person, please be careful."

"I think so too. Her tone was not right when she mentioned the prince."

"More than that, the first thing she saw when she came in was your profile. You lowered your head. From that moment on, her expression started to look wrong."

Yu Tingwan frowned. As expected, she was at odds with the East Palace. Just now the prince was speaking affectionately, and the bright moon appeared behind him like a ghost, threatening: "Your Highness, the imperial concubine is your concubine."

When the prince saw someone there, he became more honest. As a result, the prince was sent away and a new princess came.

She sighed softly and comforted herself. After these few days, it would be the turn of others to take care of her. At worst, she would burn the crown prince again next time.

At dusk, Yu Tingwan left the Zichen Palace. He saw Concubine Yang De's sedan carriage on the road and asked the palace people to go another way. However, he heard Concubine De's voice coming from a distance.

"Your Majesty, why don't you want to see me?"

When Yu Tingwan thought that this person was Yuan Ziyu's aunt, she began to have a headache. "The path is narrow, so trouble is inevitable. I just chose another way."

Concubine De chuckled. Outsiders didn't know what happened in Zichen's palace that night, so she didn't know.

The imperial concubine is avoiding everything related to Yuan Ziyu.

"I'm also going to Yilan Palace. Since we're on the way, we'll just go together."

Concubine De raised her hand and ordered her to continue walking forward. Yu Tingwan didn't know what she was going to do. It couldn't be to warn her to stay away from her nephew.

"Noble Concubine, this is a post from Mrs. Yuan." Concubine De arrived at Yilan Palace and sat down naturally to drink hot tea.

She took good care of herself, and the lines at the corners of her eyes could only be seen when she smiled. At this moment, the corners of her mouth were smiling, but her eyes were full of scrutiny.

Yuan Ziyu was in a tense situation in the clan. She had a quarrel with Mrs. Yuan and insisted on marrying someone else. Mrs. Yuan thought it was a family scandal and was unwilling to tell Concubine De about that man.

Concubine De was too lazy to listen. She could guess that it was Yu Tingwan.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yuan is having an incense tasting party recently. I would like to invite you and me to go."

Yuan and Yu Tingwan couldn't get along, so why did they suddenly invite her? After reading the post, Yu Tingwan realized that Yuan's incense tasting party was extremely grand and invited many people, including some literati who had an old relationship with her father.

Mrs. Yuan said that since Yu Xin was not here, her daughter must have the same grace as her father, so she invited her to come.

Yu Tingwan didn't even have to think about it. This was simply a banquet at Hongmen. She calmly put the post aside.

"I have been weak since I was a child. It is difficult to travel in cold weather, so I will not join in the fun outside the palace."
