Madam Qi quickly advised, "It's not the right time yet, young lady. If you act rashly, it might cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, the general needs to observe mourning for three years, and during this period, you can't do anything. Moreover, if you really act, people in the capital will suspect that it was you who did it, which is not good for the princess's reputation."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly to show her agreement. Aunt Qi continued, "I heard from the Ma family that they seem to have come up with an idea. Let's take a look at it first."

Ye Zifen nodded and agreed with Nanny Qi's suggestion.

Then she handed the account books in her hand to Madam Qi and ordered, "Take these account books away! In fact, there is no big problem, it's just that the masters spent a lot. However, from now on, as long as you don't give them money, they will naturally not be able to spend money recklessly. As for those servants, they have just arrived at the General's Mansion not long ago, and they dare not easily ask for money."

Madam Qi nodded and said softly, "Then I will take these account books away."

Ye Zifen shook her head gently and said softly: "Didn't I tell you not to call yourself a slave? You are my family. Even though I am a princess now, you are still my family."

She never called herself "this lady" in front of these close people, simply because she was worried that it would give them unnecessary thoughts.

Madam Qi smiled slightly, her eyes full of love, and replied softly: "I remember, but when no one is around, can you allow me to call myself a slave?"

Her tone was as if she was coaxing a child.

Before Aunt Qi left, a petite maid walked into the room with light steps, bowed to Ye Zifen, and reported, "Your Highness, Princess Anle is here."

Ye Zifen couldn't help but chuckle and said to Madam Qi as if she was talking to herself, "Look, it's just as expected. It seems that she was severely reprimanded by the prince, so she came to visit in such a hurry today."

After all, when Ye Zifen held a housewarming party, Princess Anle did not come to congratulate her, and declined the invitation on the grounds of being unwell.

However, just two days later, she suddenly recovered.

Obviously, this was just an excuse for her to avoid attending the party.

Ye Zifen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly to Madam Qi: "It seems that this princess was really severely punished by the prince, so she rushed here so eagerly today."

You know, even the Crown Prince and other princes came to Ye Zifen's housewarming party in person, but Princess Anle, the Crown Prince's daughter, not only did not want to come because of jealousy, she even made up the most lame excuse.

Such behavior is truly embarrassing.

Madam Qi said, "The Crown Prince was able to let this matter go, so the Emperor must have some complaints."

It turned out that Princess Anle had always hidden a strong fire of jealousy in her heart, and the object of this jealousy was Princess Fuxia.

She felt that Princess Fuxia's stunning beauty and enviable talent overshadowed the brilliance that should have belonged to her.

Therefore, when she heard that Princess Fuxia was about to hold a grand housewarming banquet, an idea came to her mind: she decided to deliberately miss the banquet and express her dissatisfaction to everyone in this way.

Although she knew that her mother-in-law was personally involved in the housewarming party, she still resolutely insisted on her decision.

When the prince learned that Princess Anle did not attend the housewarming party, he immediately sent a servant to inquire about the situation.

However, the servant came back to report that Princess Anle was unwell.

The prince looked at all the Wang family members present, his eyes filled with apology and embarrassment.

At that time, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited, but fortunately, the subsequent Zhang family incident diverted everyone's attention, so that people temporarily had no time to care about the absence of Princess Anle.

But in the court, the emperor's harsh rebuke of General Zhang still echoed in his ears. Although he was not mentioned directly, it seemed that every word was engraved in his heart.

Especially when the court was dismissed, the emperor looked at him deeply. He knew in his heart that this matter could not be left unresolved like this.

Of course, he felt that Princess Anle's behavior was too rude and might even damage the reputation of the royal family.

Therefore, he decided to teach his daughter a painful lesson and make her reflect deeply on her mistakes.

The prince summoned Princess Anle to his study and severely reprimanded her for her behavior.

The prince sat at his desk, staring at the door with a gloomy face.

When Princess Anle walked in, the prince immediately stood up and walked in front of her with anger flashing in his eyes.

"Anle, do you realize your mistake?" The prince's voice was low and serious.

Princess Anle lowered her head and replied softly, "My daughter knows she is wrong, please forgive me, father."

The prince glared at her and said in a cold voice, "You know that I am very disappointed with your behavior. You actually missed Princess Fuxia's housewarming party because of jealousy. This is an unforgivable mistake."

Princess Anle raised her head, a trace of grievance flashed in her eyes, but she still said firmly: "Father, I didn't mean to make you angry. I was just not feeling well at the time, so I couldn't attend the banquet. Please believe me, father, I really didn't mean anything else."

The prince looked at his beautiful daughter, and his heart was filled with disappointment and anger. He said sternly: "Anle, how could you miss Princess Fuxia's housewarming party out of jealousy? Your behavior is not only disrespectful to Princess Fuxia, but also to the emperor."

When Princess Anle heard this, an expression of dissatisfaction appeared on her face.

She pouted and retorted, "Who said I was jealous of her? I'm just not feeling well. It's already pitiful that my prince is not around. Isn't she a princess? In the future, daddy... I will also be a princess, a legitimate princess! Much more noble than her."

When the prince heard this, he slapped the rosewood table in front of him hard, making a dull sound.

He stared at his daughter, and said angrily: "Why is the county horse not by your side? Don't you know? The Wang family is such a good family. It was chosen by your grandfather, but what did you do? Now the whole capital has spread the news of what you did to the county horse, and your evaluation has plummeted. Moreover, this is the imperial palace, and you don't even know what to say and what not to say. If these words are spread out and used by someone with ulterior motives, your father, the position of the crown prince, will probably be over."

Princess Anle felt aggrieved and dissatisfied when she heard her father's reprimand, but she did not dare to refute directly.
