Ye Zhaoyi is an upright and righteous person. She just helped Jiang Xue fight back against Wu Meifeng, and Jiang Xue was grateful.

"I like the personality of Princess Gong. She is neither arrogant nor impetuous, but calm and measured. She is not like some people who take other people's things to seek credit and reward." As she said this, she also glanced in Wu Meifeng's direction.

Wu Meifeng tightened her fingers around the handkerchief, her face looking a little ugly, but she couldn't refute in front of others, so she could only swallow her anger and swallow her unhappiness.

"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment." Jiang Xue knew that Ye Zhaoyi was helping her vent her anger.

After all, the Plum Blossom Dance was created by Lu Congfang, and the honor of the king should not be tarnished by others.

"Princess Qinwen, please move on. Don't keep the Queen waiting for too long."

Yue Tao was entrusted by the Queen to come and invite Wu Meifeng. Although she lowered her head, her tone was condescending.

She is just a specially-appointed princess, not a genuine member of the royal family. Even Jiang Xue didn't make her kowtow like this back then. The Queen really respects Princess Qinwen too much! Yue Tao was indignant.

"Yeah." Wu Meifeng glanced at the girl who obviously didn't respect her. A fierce force surged in her heart, but she still maintained a respectful look on her face and followed her away with the queen.

Before leaving, she glared at Ye Zhaoyi fiercely. Jiang Xue saw the vicious look clearly.

"Look at Princess Qinwen. She's not as gentle as she appears."

Ye Zhaoyi has been in the palace for many years and has a keen eye for people.

As soon as Wu Meifeng appeared, she knew that this woman was very scheming and should not be underestimated.

When Wu Meifeng and the Queen completely disappeared from sight, Ye Zhaoyi said to Jiang Xue seriously, "Princess Gong, you have to be careful of this Princess Qinwen. I think she was trying to cause trouble for you just now, and it was quite serious."

"Thank you for your reminder, Changle will pay attention to it." Jiang Xue nodded, thought for a moment, and added: "Wu Meifeng is narrow-minded. Your Majesty just spoke up for Changle. I'm afraid she will bear a grudge. Please pay more attention to this person and don't let her take advantage of you."

"I have been in this cruel palace for several years. I am not afraid of a little girl. Today, I just couldn't stand her taking advantage of me, so I taught her a lesson. If she has the guts to attack me, I will not be a pushover. Don't worry."

Ye Zhaoyi showed a rare smile and patted Jiang Xue's hand gently: "By the way, I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei has left Yujing City today. As a concubine, I can't see him off in person. I wonder if the Marquis's trip went smoothly?"

Jiang Xue was a little surprised that Empress Zhaoyi suddenly asked about her uncle.

Although she was confused, she still answered respectfully: "Your Majesty, my uncle's trip went smoothly."

"Really? That's good." Ye Zhaoyi smiled with some relief: "I hope the unrest on the Beixi border can be quelled as soon as possible, and the Marquis can return safely. Well, it's getting late, I should go back to the palace, Princess Gong and Prince Gong should go back earlier."

"Yes, then Changle and His Highness will take their leave." Jiang Xue bowed again and left the palace with Xiao Zhan.

"What are you thinking about?" After returning to the palace, Jiang Xue sat on the bed, hugging her knees, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Xiao Zhan changed his clothes and came over. Seeing her like this, he was a little curious. He gently tapped her forehead and asked.

"I was thinking about what Ye Zhaoyi said just now." Jiang Xue put her hands down and naturally leaned towards Xiao Zhan. She put one arm on his shoulders and supported herself on the bed with the other hand. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I always feel that there is something fishy going on between Ye Zhaoyi and my uncle that I don't know about?"

Recalling Ye Zhaoyi's expression when she mentioned her uncle, she looked so gentle, completely different from her usual stern face.

"I thought you were thinking about Princess Qinwen. After all, she was the one who made you suffer in the story." Xiao Zhan turned his head and looked at her with a smile.

"It is precisely because Wu Meifeng is narrow-minded that Ye Zhaoyi helped me embarrass her today. She must be resentful. If she finds out that Ye Zhaoyi has a different attitude towards her uncle, she might use this to cause trouble for Ye Zhaoyi. So we must take the initiative."

If there were any rumors between the concubines and the court officials, it would be a serious crime. Especially now that my uncle is far away in the northern border, he doesn't even have the opportunity to defend himself. If Wu Meifeng takes advantage of this, the Emperor Beiling might take the opportunity to kill my uncle!

“Yun Che, is there any record about Ye Zhaoyi and my uncle’s past in the Linglong Pavilion’s files?”

She was unwilling to sit and wait for death. Instead of worrying here, she might as well take the initiative to find evidence that might pose a threat and prevent it from happening.

Xiao Zhan lowered his head and thought for a while: "If you want to see the files of Linglong Pavilion, I will ask Qingfeng to send them to you tomorrow.

Ye Zhaoyi did have a lover before she got married, but she kept it to herself and never said who that person was. The records in the archives were just trivial details.

"That's enough. A woman's thoughts will be more or less reflected in the details of her daily life. No matter how deeply she hides it, it will always be revealed inadvertently to the person she likes," said Jiang Xue.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhan stared at her intently, and his eyes became even deeper.

"You, why are you suddenly looking at me like that?" Jiang Xue asked puzzledly.

"When it comes to someone you like, you always show it inadvertently." Xiao Zhan repeated her last sentence, then held her hand on his shoulder: "Jiang Xue, from the beginning to now, you have become more and more natural in getting close to me. Can I think that you have completely accepted me? Hmm?"

The deep voice was full of magnetism, which made Jiang Xue's heart tremble.

Her reflection was reflected in his dark eyes, making her blush inexplicably.

"I said I'll wait for you, but don't make me wait too long. Jiang Xue, are you ready for this now?"

His big hand gently rested on her back and pulled her into his arms. Their breathing intertwined, their hot breath hit each other's faces, and the warm flames surrounded them. Reason had long disappeared!

The night wind blew in from the window, and the bright moon in the night sky had its shy face covered by clouds.

The bed curtains were gently pulled up, blocking out the beautiful scenery inside.

Beside the bed, a snow-white pajamas scattered on two pairs of neatly placed shoes added a touch of sweetness.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Xue lay in bed, her heartbeat still not calming down.

With a blush still on her face, she turned her head to look at the handsome man who was sleeping beside her.

Her fingers gently slid across his eyebrows and finally stopped on his thin lips. The corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Unexpectedly, this belated wedding night would actually happen today, which was really beyond her expectations.

When did she begin to fully accept him?
