Lin Wan'er lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a serious expression, and kept muttering the names of Xiao Yunxi and Lu Zhan.

It's not easy to occupy the position of the eldest son and take away everything from Ze'er.

We must find a way to get recognized by the Wu'an Marquisate.

Her son is Lu Jingting's eldest son. Why should he, an orphan from the countryside without a father or a mother, be superior to her son? Xiao Yunxi has already left, so don't think of stopping them from becoming superior.

What should I do?

Although the old lady's attitude was gentler than before, she never mentioned the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, let alone taking her to recognize her relatives.

Although Lu Jingting no longer openly disliked her, he never had a good face and was no longer as loving as before. He was not very concerned about Lu Ze and Lu Yuan, but went to see Lu Zhan from time to time...

I'm afraid he is still thinking about Xiao Yunxi.

She bit the quilt tightly, trying to stay calm and plan carefully. She must not be as reckless as before, and there must be no mistakes this time.

An entire night passed as she thought about it, but even when the maid came in to help her wash up, she still hadn't come up with any solution.

"Mrs. Lin, Madam Li just came over to tell me that the old lady is going to burn incense with the princess today, so you don't need to go over to pay your respects."

"Are the old lady and the princess going?"

When Lin Wan'er heard that they were going out, she immediately had an idea in her mind.

The maid handed over the handkerchief and said, "I heard that it's because the old lady always suffers from insomnia after coming in. She suspected that she had offended someone and wanted to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for a solution. I guess she won't be back until before dinner."

Ze'er said that the jade pendant has been redeemed and should be in the old lady's hands.

If they are not here...

She thought for a moment, then rubbed her forehead calmly, "I didn't sleep well last night, and my head hurts a bit. You go out first, I want to rest for a while."

"Yes." The maid took the basin of water and left.

The eldest princess has been suffering from insomnia recently and always feels chest tightness and shortness of breath. Xiao Yunxi took her out to the Shili Pavilion in the suburbs early in the morning to appreciate the flowers and relax.

The two of them, accompanied by a few maids and guards, went out in an ordinary carriage.

When they were almost at Shili Pavilion, they saw the old lady of the Dong family directing the maids to set up tea and chairs on the grass not far away, with a handsome young man beside her.

"Mom, it's the old lady of the Dong family."

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and rubbed her forehead intermittently, "I heard from you that she was quite kind to you, and it was worth my previous care for her.

I heard from your father that her son Dong Weixian is young and promising, a man with great potential, and what is even more rare is that he has a pure heart. That dog emperor... No, your uncle the emperor also intends to use him.

I have a terrible headache and don't want to see anyone, so go and say hello."

Xiao Yunxi sighed inwardly, her mother now dislikes her uncle the emperor more and more.

"Princess, there is a young man beside Madam Dong..." Xia He brought the hat, "Do you want to wear it?"

"Tsk," the eldest princess sneered, "What's so good about wearing it? Why don't you see men wearing veils when meeting strange women?

It's just some bullshit rules that those sour, smelly and incompetent old pedants are talking about."

Xia He quietly put her hat back, lowered her head and dared not answer.

Xiao Yunxi smiled and said, "Mother is right. I will listen to you!"

The eldest princess was satisfied and looked outside. "That boy has a very young face and is quite square-shaped. If you like him, take him in and keep him as your concubine in the princess's mansion.

Mom has no chance, she's trapped by your dad.

You can do whatever you want, everything will be covered by your mother!"

Xiao Yunxi nodded heavily, "Well, my daughter will try to keep a dozen or twenty male lovers. Next time dad makes you angry again, you can come to the Princess's Mansion and have fun!"

Xia He drooped her shoulders weakly...

"This is my good daughter," the eldest princess lay back down and gave another instruction, "It's still a bit cold outside, put on your cloak and don't catch a cold."

Xia He went down first, then turned around and carefully helped Xiao Yunxi get off the carriage. Chun Xiao put on Xiao Yunxi's cloak and straightened the corners of his clothes.

The young man over there heard the footsteps and turned around to see a beautiful and dignified woman walking towards them with a light gait. She had a graceful figure and walked with the wind, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

He stared blankly, forgetting to breathe for a moment... So beautiful...

Madam Dong noticed something was wrong and turned around in confusion. Seeing Xiao Yunxi smiling, she bowed and saluted, "My princess, may you be well."

"Madam Dong, please don't be polite."

Xiao Yunxi stepped forward and helped the old lady up. "I haven't seen you for a long time. Is your body okay?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine."

The young man was still staring at Xiao Yunxi in a daze. Xia He and Chun Xiao looked at each other: Oh, another one who is staring at the princess in a daze.

Madam Dong slapped the man on the back of the head and said angrily, "You little bastard, why don't you pay your respects to Princess Changle!"

"Princess, please forgive me. This is my nephew Yang Yi from my mother's family. He just came of age this year."

Yang Yi blushed and bowed quickly, saying, "I greet the princess."

Xiao Yunxi nodded slightly and didn't say much, but continued chatting with Madam Dong.

Madam Dong smiled kindly: "Where are you going, Princess?"

"Wander around and relax."

"If you don't mind, let's go together."

"Thank you for your kindness, old lady, but I think it's still early and I want to go to the suburbs to hunt rabbits, so I won't bother you."

Madam Dong looked at the carriage in the distance thoughtfully, "Then I won't disturb the princess's interest. I will send a letter another day and go to the Ningguo Mansion to pay my respects to the eldest princess."

Xiao Yunxi nodded and motioned Xia He to bring some refreshments, "Then I'll go ahead."

Yang Yi remained in a daze the entire time, and it was not until Mrs. Dong called him several times that he came back to his senses.

"Yier, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Yang Yi lowered his head, "Nothing, is she the Princess Changle you always talk about?"

Although she had only been in Beijing for a few days, the affairs of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion had already spread. Princess Changle was the first princess in the Dali Dynasty to divorce her husband by imperial order.

His cousin's wife was the eldest daughter of a concubine from the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion. He had heard about this from his aunt a long time ago.

Madam Dong looked at Xiao Yunxi's back and sighed, "Yes, the daughter of heaven married that idiot Lu Jingting and suffered all kinds of humiliation and injustice. The Zhennan Palace is not a good place to begin with! Grandfather is a rogue, mother is a fool, father is a bastard, and the whole family is full of monsters and demons!"

In his words, he cursed the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion in every way and didn't care about the face of the eldest lady Lu Guifang at all.

Yang Yi knew that his aunt particularly disliked his cousin's wife, and he also understood the kind of person his cousin's wife was...she was indeed not presentable enough.

"The princess was ordered to divorce her husband, which was a relief."

He smiled faintly, "A person as brilliant as the princess is naturally untainted by the mud."

Madam Dong was shocked when she heard this. Seeing her nephew still looking in the direction where the carriage was leaving, she wondered if there was anything he didn't understand...

His vision is much better than that of her own son!
