Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Li Shuangwan's eyes were heavy. The Zhong and He families successfully cancelled the engagement. This way, any subsequent disaster to the He family would not involve the Zhong family at all.

The eldest princess invited all the unmarried noble ladies above the third rank and a group of young men to a plum garden in the suburbs of Beijing to attend a plum blossom viewing banquet.

According to the time on the invitation, Li Shuangwan appeared at the gate of Plum Garden at three quarters in the morning.

The servant saw the carriage of Prince Heng's palace from afar and ran to report.

When Li Shuangwan took Madam Zhao's hand and got off the carriage, the eldest princess came out with a smile on her face.

She walked up to Li Shuangwan affectionately and took her arm: "I was busy treating you as my niece-in-law, but I didn't expect you to actually come. I'm so happy."

Then he said to Aunt Zhao who was following behind him, "Princess Heng, please follow me in. You can go have tea with the maids."

Madam Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "Yes."

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Shuangwan returned to the General's Mansion. Not long after, Zhou Caiyao came to Prince Heng's Mansion to find her.

She also brought the best medicine for wounds, saying that His Royal Highness Prince Heng was unwilling to cane her, but Li Shuangwan was too aggressive and he wanted her to use too much force, so His Royal Highness Prince Heng ordered Si Po to beat her with thirty boards.

Although these thirty blows may seem bloody, they are actually just superficial injuries and are not serious.

She naturally understood the good intentions of His Royal Highness Prince Heng. She had seen a lot of these things in the General's Mansion over the past ten years.

Zhou Caiyao changed the subject and said that it was inconvenient for His Royal Highness Prince Heng to meet with her often, and that anything he wanted to do in the future would be communicated through her.

She also took out the jade pendant that the prince often wore around his waist. Naturally, she had no doubt about it.

Zhou Caiyao's thoughts were obvious, and she could see them clearly.

The day before yesterday, Zhou Caiyao had given her a mission, asking her to follow Li Shuangwan to the Princess's plum garden outside Beijing today. Her Highness would have important things to do, and this matter must not be revealed, and naturally, Roman and Yizhu must not be allowed to follow.

And this is also what Concubine Shu and Concubine Lin meant.

If this matter is accomplished, His Highness promised to let her see her son.

Nanny Zhao agreed immediately and readily. She hadn't seen that evil creature for a long time.

Li Shuangwan saw Nanny Zhao's expression change several times, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Princess Ling Ying had always looked down on her and married Ling Heng. When would she ever welcome her with a smile?

When a weasel pays a New Year's visit to a chicken, it never has good intentions.

Li Shuangwan had a perfect smile on her face: "Her Royal Highness the Princess invites me, no matter how busy I am, I will definitely come to attend."

The princess smiled happily and said, "To be honest, although it is called a plum blossom viewing banquet, in fact, today is to select a prince for Jianing. Knowing that you have good taste, I did not ask for your opinion first, but sent you a notice, and asked my niece to help my aunt to select a young talent for Jianing."

This excuse was very good. Li Shuangwan let the princess hold her arm and said, "Jianing is smart and generous. She is of such a noble status. Which young man would not be attracted to her? Aunt and Jianing should choose her carefully."

"That's the reason, that's why I want you to help aunt."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the plum garden.

The plum garden that the late emperor awarded to the eldest princess is very large. The late empress gave birth to such a daughter, and she was also the eldest daughter. The late emperor and the empress loved her very much. Before her coming of age, they ordered the Ministry of Works to build this plum garden. Knowing that their daughter liked plum blossoms, they specially set aside a huge garden and ordered people to find various varieties of plum blossoms from all over the country.

It is now the end of winter and the beginning of spring. At a glance, plum blossoms of various colors, light red, bright red, white, yellow, and even green, are vying to bloom. Among them there are even a few extremely precious Longyou plum blossoms.

The Longyoumei tree has a unique shape and a naturally twisted trunk, which looks like a wandering dragon, hence its name. The flowers are like butterflies and are extremely beautiful. There are only a few such trees in the whole of Northern Jin.

But there are six plum trees in the garden, which shows how much they are favored.

All the young ladies and gentlemen from the aristocratic families had arrived. They were seated, by gender, in two large pavilions in the plum garden to admire the plum blossoms, separated by a few pieces of thin sand that flew in the wind.

Li Shuangwan looked at them indifferently, his eyes swept across their faces one by one, and the corners of his mouth curled coldly.

Among them, how many people are Ling Heng's lackeys, and how many people have a deep hatred for her, Li Shuangwan.

And she won't let any of these people go!

Seeing the two of them coming, everyone stood up and saluted: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Princess Heng."

The princess smiled and raised her hand: "No need to be polite, I saw that the flowers in the plum garden are in full bloom, so I invite all the ladies and gentlemen to come and sit down. Please be casual and don't be restrained."

"Yes, thank you, Princess." Everyone sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Li Shuangwan heard one or two mocking whispers.

"Why is Li Shuangwan here?"

"Who knows? She has already married His Royal Highness Prince Heng, bringing shame to us women. How can she still have the nerve to attend such a banquet? Doesn't she know what the purpose behind this banquet is?"

"Some people are so shameless that they don't even remember that they are married. Maybe they rely on their status as the eldest daughter of the general's mansion and want to take a few more glances at those handsome young men. They are really shameless."

"Alas, how could His Royal Highness Prince Heng, who is as gentle as jade, marry such a fickle woman as his concubine?"

This was not a low voice, and almost all the girls present heard it. Everyone had different expressions, some were enjoying the show, and some were laughing with their hands covering their mouths.

The eldest princess naturally heard it as well, but she put on a smile, raised her index finger, and held the white jade cup in her slender white jade hand, pretending not to hear it.

Li Shuangwan looked over coldly. Ren Lingheng was lurking beside him for revenge, planning step by step, but that didn't mean that she could be bullied by just anyone.

What’s more, aren’t these two the daughters of the former left and right vice ministers of the Ministry of Rites?

In their previous lives, these two people were very glorious and became Ling Heng's favorite concubines. In the harem, they openly and secretly ridiculed her as a chicken that could not lay eggs. If it weren't for the fact that her father and brother held a large number of troops, she would have been deposed long ago.

She walked over, and before the two gossiping girls could react, two crisp slaps were already slapped on their faces.

She now has internal strength, although only 30% of it, but it is still no problem for her to beat these tender-skinned girls.

He used some skillful force again. The sound was not loud and nothing could be seen on the surface, but the two girls screamed in pain and tears came to their eyes. They covered their faces tightly and said, "It hurts so much, it hurts so much, Li Shuangwan, you dare to hit us!"

Everyone exclaimed, but seeing that the eldest princess didn't say anything and Li Shuangwan's eyes were cold, everyone was like quails and didn't dare to speak.

Even the young men across the pavilion looked at each other and fell silent.
