After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

"And then your aunt divorced the third place winner?"

"How could it be so easy? If you enter his house, you will be his ghost even if you die."

Xiao Yunxi was even more curious, "Then how did they manage to get a divorce? And she remarried in less than a year."

"My grandfather went to the emperor's court and begged for a divorce by kneeling for a whole day and night, using the merits accumulated by our ancestors. But my grandfather was also disliked by the emperor and was exiled from the court. Although my aunt married a second time, she could only marry far away in Shuzhou and never returned to the capital until her death."

Mu Qingyun looked at Xiao Yunxi, "That Lu went to guard the border on the day of his wedding. I know you feel wronged, but the world is too harsh on women. Even if you go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother and His Majesty to make the decision, it will be useless."

Xiao Yunxi was silent for a moment, she understood in her heart.

Two of the four kings of different surnames were exterminated. The old King of Zhennan was afraid, so he ran to the emperor uncle to ask for a marriage. Princess Shang had to give up her military power, but she didn't need to marry the princess. After weighing the pros and cons again and again, he chose her.

The emperor uncle arranged her marriage with Lu Anzhi, not because he thought they were a perfect match, but because he wanted her to give birth to a legitimate son to inherit the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, and then take back the military power in the southern border without bloodshed.

She was just a chess piece used to temporarily appease and restrain the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, so in the past two years, the emperor uncle turned a blind eye to Lu Jingting's actions.

Although she had secured the position of Crown Prince Consort of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion in her previous life, she could never gain her husband's true love, nor did she have any offspring of her own. In the end, she ended up in a miserable state. Perhaps it was because the emperor thought she was useless and abandoned her, and no longer cared about her.

It seems that if she lives again, she still has to secure her position as the mistress of the Zhennan Palace, and she must have a "son" who listens to the emperor. Otherwise, she will become the emperor's abandoned child, and her fate will be no different from that of her previous life.

This time Lu Jingting was recalled to the capital. I'm afraid there were unusual movements in the court, and His Majesty must be worried.

Fearing that Mu Qingyun would worry, Xiao Yunxi chuckled and said, "Sister Yun, don't you know what kind of personality I have?"

"I am now the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhennan Palace, and I will be the Princess of Zhennan in the future. It doesn't matter how Lu Jingting treats me, after all, he doesn't dare to humiliate or beat me like the third place winner did. If he doesn't like me, then I will give him a few more concubines, ten or eight. No matter how many illegitimate sons and daughters he has, they will have to live under my control!"

"An ordinary woman's lifelong reliance is the man beside her, and she has no other choice. I am different. I have gained a foothold in my husband's family because of my background and ability. Whether now or in the future, it is the Zhennan Palace that cannot do without me, not me who cannot do without the Zhennan Palace!"

Mu Qingyun knew in her heart that Xiao Yunxi's intention to come and inquire was definitely not just out of curiosity, but she didn't dare to ask too much.

The two chatted about some small things, quarreled occasionally, and reminisced about the free and easy days in the past.

Xiao Yunxi looked at the clouds in the sky, then suddenly stared into Mu Qingyun's eyes and said, "Sister Yun, thank you."

Mu Qingyun smiled knowingly, "It's not enough to just say it, you have to come and see me more often in the future, how about that?"

"That's natural."

"Madam, the Third Master has brought back a distinguished guest, and he has asked you to prepare tea and snacks and send them to the study."

Mu Qingyun's maid Yue'er suddenly came in to report.

Yue'er had been serving by her side since she was a child, so she naturally knew the relationship between Xiao Yunxi and Mu Qingyun. She even dared to pass it on while they were chatting. It seemed that this distinguished guest was not simple...

Xiao Yunxi stood up tactfully, "Sister Yun, I'll go back first. I'll come back to 'quarrel' with you another day."

Mu Qingyun poked Xiao Yunxi's forehead with a finger and said angrily, "You naughty girl, you have no respect for your elders. I will scold you next time."

Xiao Yunxi smiled and agreed, then waved her handkerchief and turned to leave.

Mu Qingyun looked at Xiao Yunxi's back, full of worry. The once innocent Princess Changle has become as cautious as an ordinary lady from a noble family. She suddenly came to ask about the divorce today, so it might not be that simple.

"Young Madam, would you like to personally deliver the tea to the study?"

The maid's voice came, and Mu Qingyun came back to his senses, "Did the Third Master say who the distinguished guest is?"

"It's His Royal Highness Prince Duan."

"Come with me to the kitchen to prepare refreshments." Mu Qingyun calmed down and knew that he could not neglect His Royal Highness Prince Duan, so he hurried to the kitchen.

In the carriage, Xiao Yunxi was resting with her eyes closed when she heard Chun Xiao curiously ask, "Princess, what kind of distinguished guest is as honorable as you?"

Xiao Yunxi shook her head helplessly, "There are many people in this world who are more noble than me."

"In my heart, you, Princess, are the most honorable." Chunxiao said seriously.

These words made Xiao Yunxi's heart warm. In her previous life, Chunxiao and Xiahe had done their best for her, but they did not have a good ending... In this life, she must let them live well.

Speaking of that distinguished guest, she also began to think carefully.

The husband of Princess Yongning is the second son of Marquis Jingning. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and is a well-known chess nerd. However, he is a close friend of Prince Duan Xie Junyao. I think today's distinguished guest should be him.

"That distinguished guest should be His Royal Highness Prince Duan." Xiao Yunxi said calmly to Chun Xiao.

Chun Xiao took a deep breath and stammered, "Princess...Princess, why would His Royal Highness Prince Duan be in contact with the husband of Princess Yongning? It is rumored that Princess Yongning is unruly and jealous. Would His Royal Highness Prince Duan..."

After hearing Chun Xiao's words, Xiao Yunxi lowered his head and thought carefully.

Prince Duan Xie Junyao is the youngest son of the Queen and the seventh child. He is young and promising, handsome, talented in both literature and martial arts, and is the Emperor's favorite.

He has always disliked women who do not follow the rules and have no virtues. The previous Princess Duan was divorced because of her jealousy and is still imprisoned in the royal temple.

It is said that there was once a concubine who cheated on him while Xie Junyao was away on business. She became pregnant and was then beaten to death by him.

He shouldn't do anything to Sister Yun...No.

Xiao Yunxi grew up with the Empress Dowager, and although she was not very familiar with the Prince Duan, she knew him well.

The reason why Xie Junyao hated unchaste and unruly women was because the Empress was once poisoned by a palace concubine. Although her life was saved, her body was damaged and she was bedridden for many years.

As for Princess Duan, it was not entirely because of jealousy. She also poisoned her pregnant concubine, resulting in two deaths. This completely angered Prince Duan and made her the first princess to be divorced in the history of the Dali Dynasty.

Sister Yun is a little overbearing, but their relationship is still very good. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Prince Duan should not meddle in their affairs.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunxi felt relieved.

Mu Qingyun personally brought the tea and snacks to the study.

"Your Highness, best wishes." Mu Qingyun bowed his head and saluted towards the throne.

"Please don't be so polite, my lady. I am the one who bothers you." Although Xie Junyao nodded and smiled, his words and actions showed an innate arrogance and aloofness.
