Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

When Lu Ziren heard the voice, he frowned slightly. He turned around and saw a handsome face with fine eyes and sword-like eyebrows. He wore a golden crown and looked very elegant. It was obvious at first glance that he was extremely extraordinary and not something that an ordinary family could raise.

Xia Yingying also looked in the direction of the voice. Wasn't that person the third prince who had come to the capital with them before?

Why didn't they celebrate the Lantern Festival in the palace but instead sneaked out?

"I wonder what the Sixth Prince wants to talk to me about?" Lu Ziren spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"General Lu, why do we have to be so polite? Just call me Young Master Huang. If you call me that in such a strange way among the people, I'm afraid it will scare the crowd."

The Sixth Prince lowered his voice and said.

Lu Ziren responded and said nothing more.

"General Lu, my brother and sister-in-law are in the teahouse in front, and they have something to tell you." Although the Sixth Prince said that it was a delay, he was not humble at all, as if he was sure that Lu Ziren would go.

Lu Ziren couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

The Sixth Prince saw that Lu Ziren was unwilling to go, so he said to Xia Yingying, "Madam, my sister-in-law wants to invite you to the teahouse to discuss the ordering of cakes. I wonder if Madam can go."

Xia Yingying is easier to conquer than Lu Ziren. If you talk to Lu Ziren, he will give you a cold shoulder and there will be no good result. If you talk to Xia Yingying directly, there is a very high possibility that Lu Ziren will go to find the prince.

Xia Yingying couldn't help but glance at Lu Ziren. Lu Ziren didn't say whether it was good or bad. He just said to Xia Yingying, "You decide whether to go or not. Don't worry too much."

At this moment, the undercurrent between Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren's eyes is worth more than a thousand words.

What Lu Ziren said meant that it was up to Xia Yingying to decide whether to go or not. Even if there were any troubles, Lu Ziren was capable of solving them.

But now there must be someone in the court who is keeping an eye on Lu Ziren and the Crown Prince. She didn't dare to go to the Crown Princess so blatantly. If she was caught by accident, she didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause to Lu Ziren.

"No, I want to go shopping in the market with my husband today. If we want to talk about business, let's do it another day." Xia Yingying declined.

The Sixth Prince had originally made a very careful plan, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw Xia Yingying suddenly reject him.

Just as the Sixth Prince was thinking about how to keep Xia Yingying, a beautiful woman wearing a veil and gorgeous clothes came over and said to Xia Yingying, "You must be the proprietress of a cake shop. I have a business here and I want to discuss it with you. May I move over?"

What this beautiful woman was wearing was dazzling at first glance and was not something that ordinary people could afford.

When the Sixth Prince saw the beautiful woman coming, he did not say anything. Instead, he nodded slightly to her and quietly stepped aside.

Xia Yingying had some doubts about the identity of this beautiful woman, she must be of noble status.

Xia Yingying turned her gaze to Lu Ziren tacitly. Lu Ziren knew that Xia Yingying was hesitant and nodded at her.

Xia Yingying knew that her guess was correct. This beautiful lady was the Crown Princess who had just invited him to sit upstairs.

Xia Yingying had never been with such a noble lady, so it was inevitable that she would feel timid.

Lu Ziren whispered in Xia Yingying's ear: "Follow your own thoughts, don't worry too much, leave the rest to me, don't worry, I can handle it."

Xia Yingying felt relieved after hearing what Lu Ziren said. She walked towards the woman with grace. The woman smiled, stretched out her hand to Xia Yingying, and walked forward together.

Lu Ziren and the third prince followed behind Xia Yingying and the Crown Princess.

Tianxiang Tower has three floors. After the Crown Princess brought Xia Yingying to the third floor, she entered a private room that was exquisitely decorated.

Xia Yingying was still worried about how to greet the prince when she met him later, but she didn't expect that she and the prince had never met each other from beginning to end.

I only discussed business and pastries with the Crown Princess in the private room.

The Crown Princess knew her words very well, so Xia Yingying didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all when getting along with the Crown Princess.

Although Xia Yingying had learned some palace rules, she only learned them superficially and did not learn etiquette very well.

Because of the identity of the person sitting opposite her, Xia Yingying was subconsciously still scared. Even though she tried her best to hide it, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xia Yingying was a little restrained in her speech, the Crown Princess said to her, "Don't worry, Madam. There are only two of us discussing business with you this time. My husband has something to say to your husband, and it is not convenient for us to disturb him."

The Crown Princess' voice was soft, but it carried the aura of a superior.

Xia Yingying was a little nervous. In this strictly hierarchical society, one could be doomed if not careful.

The Crown Princess sat beside the table, heating the cups, taking tea, washing tea, and making tea smoothly and gracefully. Xia Yingying subconsciously stared at the Crown Princess's movements; it was so pleasing to the eye to see a beautiful woman making tea.

The Crown Princess naturally also saw Xia Yingying's gaze, but she had seen so many people and things that she was no longer surprised.

He quickly poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xia Yingying.

The aroma of tea filled the air. Xia Yingying picked up the teacup, blew it gently, took a sip, and the warm tea and aroma filled her mouth.

"Madam, you don't have to worry that I won't do anything to you. I'm not a big tiger. This is the new Queshe tea that we just offered as tribute this year. Do you like it, Madam?" The Crown Princess had a faint smile on her face.

Xia Yingying looked at the teacup in her hand and subconsciously thought of using it to make pastries.

Unfortunately, this is a tribute, and the tribute is from a royal noble, so it is not suitable to be used for business.

It is not very realistic to consider using it as a snack.

Thinking of this, Xia Yingying couldn't help but sigh.

"I wonder what's bothering you, madam. You might as well tell me. If I can help, I'll be happy to help." Now that Lu Ziren is in the same camp as them, of course she will help Xia Yingying with whatever she wants.

Now Xia Yingying has adapted to the mode of getting along with the Crown Princess, so she is not as restrained as before. She behaves in a graceful and confident manner without any timidity.

"I think if this tea is used to make snacks, it will taste great, but this tea is a tribute. It would be a waste to use it to make snacks."

The Crown Princess couldn't help but smile after hearing what Xia Yingying said.

There was some admiration in his eyes for Xia Yingying. Although she was a little timid at the beginning, now she felt like a fish in water. Xia Yingying had a strong ability to adapt.

"You are honest. I have drunk a lot of this tea in the East Palace and I am tired of it. If you like it, I can have someone send you two dozen bottles later so you can take them home. If you want to research new pastries, you can also send them to the East Palace for me to taste."

"Thank you, Princess." Xia Yingying apologized to the Princess in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"But I'm a little curious. You were obviously a little afraid of me at the beginning. Why did your mood change so quickly all of a sudden?" "Please vote"
