The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill

Li Shuyue used to keep an eye on Shen Changyun's marriage. Since the other party didn't like to attend such banquets, she never showed up.

So the Crown Princess had never seen her before. The other party bowed to her respectfully and put aside her dissatisfaction with Song Mianshuang.

He smiled and pointed at the empty seat, indicating that Li Shuyue could sit down and talk.

"I never saw the girls from the Li family come to these banquets before, and someone once told me that the girls from the Li family were cold and aloof, and difficult to get along with. But now it seems that the fourth girl in front of me is quite playful and cute."

In front of outsiders, Li Shuyue is good at pretending and talking nonsense without hesitation, and she can also speak appropriately. "In the past, my sister was not feeling well and could not go out, so I often stayed at home to keep her company. Today is my first time attending a palace banquet, and I don't know the rules. I hope the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will not think I am noisy."

The Crown Princess ordered someone to pour her a cup of hot tea. "Fifth sister has been waiting for your sister to come to the palace to talk this morning. I just saw that the Queen Mother also summoned her to drink tea. You two are of the same family, and I think you are as popular as your sister."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind," Li Shuyue nodded slightly, then sighed sadly, "Although my sister and I have a good relationship, we are not from the same mother. If we encounter someone with ulterior motives who deliberately provoke us, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts."

The Crown Princess stared at Li Shuyue with a deep gaze, as if she was thinking about something, "Don't take it to heart, it's just gossip from outsiders."

Li Shuyue nodded, "I'll take note of that. Hey, I just saw that all the princes are here, but the Seventh Prince is the only one missing?"

"Seventh brother has not been in good health and doesn't like such crowded and noisy scenes." The prince frowned slightly and smiled gently.

Then he handed the little princess in his arms to the nurse, stood up and said to everyone, "I have something to discuss with the Crown Princess, so I'll leave now."

After saying that, he pulled the Crown Princess away.

When they were alone, the Crown Princess grabbed the Crown Prince's arm and said curiously, "These Li sisters are amazing. One is loved by the Queen Mother and the fifth sister, while the other is capable of stealing and framing others."

The prince gently held her soft hand and scratched her nose. "You clearly knew from the beginning that Miss Song's brocade box was tampered with by Miss Li Si. Why are you still so angry? Are you...jealous?"

The smile on the Crown Princess's face fell, she shook off his hand and snorted, "I'm jealous? What am I jealous of? I'm not angry about her gift, I'm angry about her glaring at my sister."

She folded her arms, turned around and faced the prince, "It was originally a matter between you and the Marquis of Ding'an. Poor my Er, I wanted to comfort her, but she bit me hard."

The birth of the little princess was not as smooth as that of the little prince's grandson. The Crown Princess had a difficult delivery and gave birth to the child at the risk of her life, so the child was especially cherished.

From the time the little princess was born until now, the Crown Princess would not back down even if the Crown Princess glared at her, let alone if the official's daughter glared at her.

But the prince understood her duplicity and stepped forward to gently pull at her sleeve.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have set up such a big game to plot against Marquis Ding'an and made things difficult for you. Don't worry. When I married you, I swore that I would only love you in this life and I will never break my promise."

Speaking of this, the Crown Princess was filled with anger.

"How dare you say that? You know best how our marriage came about."

For so many years, the Crown Princess has been holding a grudge in her heart, blaming the Crown Prince for all the schemes he had done to force her to marry him.

I blame myself for being young and helpless against his schemes.

I even blame myself for starting to fall in love with the person in front of me.

"But I never regretted plotting against you. Otherwise, whose wife would you be now?" The prince sat down next to her. "On our wedding night, I swore that I would never take a concubine. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Seeing that the prince was still smiling happily and even seemed proud of her jealous behavior just now, she became even more angry.

So she said angrily: "I said something careless back then, Your Highness, just pretend that this never happened."

She approached the prince, with a fierce look on her face, and whispered, "Since you chose to win over the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to be your own power and then plotted to cause Marquis Ding'an to lose his military power, you should go all out and bring Miss Song to the East Palace as a concubine, so as not to disappoint others. By then, the dignified prince of the East Palace will be regarded as a dishonest villain who goes back on his word."

"But I am not a gentleman. My lady, you have seen it before." The prince had a malicious smile on his face and a doting look in his eyes. "I just want that Ding'an Marquis to know that I don't want people with bad luck."

The Crown Princess stood up and looked at him in disbelief, "Jiang Huaijing, you are so shameless!"

"You've been scolding me like this for ten years. Aren't you tired of it?" The prince shrugged indifferently.

The angry Crown Princess sat down again and said, "I have never seen anyone like you, looking for trouble every day!"

After she finished speaking, she thought of another thing and nudged the prince with her elbow, "But I am more curious about the third girl of the Li family. You said that for a man like my cousin Chang Yun who is so arrogant, what kind of woman can enter his heart? He was also worried that the third girl of the Li family would not want to marry him, and even asked my father for an imperial decree as a backup plan."

The prince played with the jade pendant on his waist and looked at her with a faint look in his eyes, "I see you like her too, don't you?"

"Of course I like it. Compared to the painting of my seventh brother, the real person is better looking."

"Madam, please be careful with your words." The prince reminded with a frown.

"I didn't speak loudly," the Crown Princess looked around to make sure there was no one around, then continued, "Besides, no matter what, Chang Yun wouldn't let her marry someone else, right? You two brothers are really the same person, to be so calculating."

The prince chuckled.

It was also difficult for Shen Changyun. He sent a message to the Eastern Palace early in the morning, asking them to take good care of Li Qingqian and to be careful not to be plotted against by the Fourth Miss Li. So they were not surprised that the things in Song Mianshuang's brocade box disappeared.

However, the prince did not intend to stop it. After all, in the transaction with Marquis Ding'an, he saved the other party's life and did not owe him anything.

Who would have thought that Marquis Ding'an would be so arrogant and ask me to marry his daughter into the Eastern Palace. In that case, don't blame me for just watching from the sidelines and giving his daughter face.

"Since we want the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to side with the East Palace, we have to appease Chang Yun. Since he wants us to treat the Third Miss well, then Madam, please bear with the trouble and invite the Third Miss to the East Palace from time to time, okay?"

It was common for ladies of noble birth to pay a visit to the empress, but for an unmarried woman, unless she had privileges like Song Ningyan, it would be very troublesome.

But it would be easier for these noble ladies to meet the Crown Princess than to meet the Queen.

The Crown Princess lowered her voice so low that only the two of them could hear it clearly, "It's just a pity that the person that Seventh Brother has been waiting for so many years will get married next month."

The prince chuckled and whispered something in her ear.

Then the Crown Princess looked surprised and asked, "What? Is that so? Then, why didn't I see any flaws in all these years?"

The prince rubbed the back of her head, "That person wanted to hide everything, how could he let you know so easily? But don't worry, I told Chang Yun about this matter a long time ago, he knows everything."

As soon as the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess left, Li Shuyue didn't want to stay there anymore, and no matter how the Liu family's daughter persuaded her, she refused to stay for a while.

She still has to find the Seventh Prince, why should she play along with these people?

Even though the daughter of the Liu family had helped her outside the palace just now, she still looked down on her.

She walked towards the Imperial Garden, but after only a few steps, she ran into Song Mianshuang behind the rockery.

Song Mianshuang: "Stop."

Li Shuyue turned back slowly and asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"

Song Mianshuang walked up to her and slapped her mercilessly, "My family is a marquisate after all, and it is also the maternal family of the late emperor's concubine Yun. Your family is just a prime minister, and you dare to treat me like this?"

Li Shuyue immediately hit her on the side of her face, "You really don't understand what your family is like now? Although my family is not as close as the royal family, my father is the left prime minister of the dynasty, second only to the emperor. Song Mianshuang, if the news of our fight gets out, you may not be able to take advantage."

Li Shuyue had not thought of this at first. When she was in the carriage, she was embarrassed about meeting the Song sisters because of what happened at the Meiyan Banquet last time.

Li Qingqian gave her reassurance in advance and told her about this, so she felt confident.
