Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Lin Wan? She came to see me, it must be bad news.

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows and exchanged glances with Xiao Zhan, showing their tacit understanding.

"The princess has just entered the palace, so today she should pay her respects to the queen first."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan took the initiative to help Jiang Xue out.

The female official frowned, obviously not satisfied with this statement, and raised her head to Xiao Zhan and said, "Your Highness Prince Gong, the Imperial Concubine sent me here to wait for you early in the morning. I have been waiting for quite some time. Please don't embarrass me."

It seems that this female official has lived in the deep palace for a long time and knows nothing about the changes in the outside world. She thinks that His Royal Highness Prince Gong can be provoked at will. Relying on Lin Wan's power, her attitude is quite arrogant.

"The palace has its own rules, with clear distinctions between superiors and inferiors, based on rank. May I ask, aunt, who has a higher rank, the Empress or the Imperial Concubine?"

Facing the rude female official, Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't like others being so rude to Xiao Zhan.

"Of course it's the Queen." The female official replied with her head down.

"Since the Queen is of a higher rank, what's wrong with me paying my respects to her first?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Of course not, but the Imperial Concubine has already..."

The female official wanted to argue, but when she saw the coldness flashing in Jiang Xue's eyes, she was so scared that she shut her mouth.

"If the Imperial Concubine can't wait, please go to Fengming Palace. Changle will definitely go with her to pay her respects."

The Lin family and Xiao Yan had met with troubles one after another, and the Queen had done a lot of things to trip up Lin Wan. Now there was a tense confrontation between the two, so how could Lin Wan easily step into Fengming Palace?

The female official was left speechless by Jiang Xue's rebuttal and had to retreat in disgrace.

"Your Highness." Jiang Xue turned her head and called Xiao Zhan softly.

"Ahem." Xiao Zhan coughed lightly, seeming dissatisfied.

“Yun Che.” Jiang Xue smiled helplessly and changed her address: “Then I’ll go to the Queen first.”

"Well, be careful. I'll come find you as soon as I'm done here."

Xiao Zhan nodded and watched her go away.

"Princess, why don't you go with His Royal Highness Prince Gong?" Xiaochun was puzzled.

In the ancient land of Beiling, there is a rule that women cannot enter the court at will. Right now, the Emperor of Beiling is discussing state affairs with his ministers. Jiang Xue knows that if she barges in at this time, she will inevitably attract criticism.

"If I go with them now, I'm afraid I'll become the subject of gossip," she muttered to herself.

Last night's grand wedding banquet seemed to have become the focus of heated discussion in the whole city overnight.

The strength of Prince Gong has long been no secret. Xiao Li, Xiao Yan, and even Emperor Beiling are all highly wary of him.

At this moment, they were gearing up to find Prince Gong's weakness so as to defeat him in one fell swoop.

At this critical moment, Jiang Xue became even more cautious and never gave anyone any excuses.

Xiaochun understood Jiang Xue's intention and nodded solemnly.

Soon, the master and his servant arrived at the gate of Fengming Palace. When they were about to step in, they were blocked by a maid.

"Princess Changle, I'm so sorry, the Queen is resting now, please wait a moment."

Jiang Xue raised her eyes and looked into the palace, only to see a piece of clothing fluttering in the wind.

She recognized the familiar fabric at a glance. It belonged to the queen. Who else in the harem would dare to embroider a phoenix pattern on clothing?

Obviously, the queen was deliberately making things difficult for her. She had already stood up, but she pretended to be resting and made her wait outside, obviously wanting to intimidate her.

Well, she wanted to see who would be humiliated in the end.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was almost 9 o'clock, and Jiang Xue was still standing outside the gate of Fengming Palace.

The biting cold wind cut across my face like a sharp blade, causing unbearable pain.

The palace maids and eunuchs passing by all looked at Jiang Xue with pity.

"Oh, Princess Changle is so miserable. She went to the palace to pay respects to the Queen on the second day of her wedding, but was treated like this by the Queen."

"Although she has the support of her uncle, the Marquis of Zhenbei, she is still bullied by the royal family in this palace. Look at the fifth princess, who came with her husband to pay her respects, and the queen immediately ordered people to welcome her into the palace."

There were constant discussions, and soon, the news that Jiang Xue was being deliberately suppressed by the Queen spread rapidly in the palace.

However, inside Fengming Palace, the Queen seemed to be unaware of this and she calmly sipped her tea, chatting and laughing with Concubine De and Xiao Min.

Jun Li sat quietly aside, looking out the door from time to time.

"The prince consort seems to be in a state of disarray." The queen took a sip of tea, glanced at Jun Li out of the corner of her eye, and said lightly.

Following his gaze, she caught a glimpse of the lonely figure outside the door, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Could it be that the prince consort is missing Princess Changle?"

When Xiao Min heard this, he was burning with jealousy, and his eyes were like icy blades, shooting towards Jiang Xue fiercely!

This woman should be frozen into a popsicle! She is already married, but she still shamelessly hooks up with someone else's husband!

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I was just a little tired last night, so I couldn't concentrate." Jun Li said, trying to suppress the discomfort in his heart. Thinking of the wedding night last night, he felt his stomach churning.

Only by imagining Xiao Min as Jiang Xue could he barely get through the night.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Min's face flushed with shyness. Recalling Jun Li's passion last night, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Empress, Brother Wenshui was very passionate last night. He must be exhausted." Xiao Min raised his voice deliberately so that Jiang Xue who was standing outside the door could hear it.

This idiot! Can you just spread this kind of boudoir fun everywhere?

Jun Li secretly cursed Xiao Min in his heart.

The queen frowned. How could such a private matter be spoken out in public? It would simply damage the image and dignity of the royal family.

She glared at him coldly, and Defei was so scared that she quickly pinched Xiao Min and signaled her to shut up.

"This Fifth Princess is so shameless that she actually said such a thing so loudly." Fu Dong smiled contemptuously, noticing that several eunuchs and maids walked by, looked up, and immediately quickened their pace and left. Obviously, they all heard what Xiao Min said just now.

Jiang Xue glanced at the people who were leaving in a hurry, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth inadvertently.

"What time is it now?" The Queen glanced at Xiao Min, who was pouting because of being pinched by Concubine De, put down the teacup in her hand, and asked the maid beside her.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, it is already Si time."

"An hour has passed. Let Changle come in." The queen held her chin with one hand and instructed the maid.

"Empress, why did you let her in? Just let that little bitch stay outside to get some fresh air!" Xiao Min immediately stood up and yelled relentlessly.

The Queen gave him a sharp look, and under her majesty, Xiao Min was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

"Changle pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."

After a while, Jiang Xue entered the room, led by a palace maid, and bowed respectfully to the queen.

The queen responded softly, then waved her hand, signaling Jiang Xue to stand up. However, she didn't intend to let Jiang Xue sit down, so she just stood there.
