The useless princess is causing trouble again

It was early the next morning.

Minister Xiao got off the carriage, holding the emperor's edict in his left hand. He straightened up and walked up the steps of Prince Sheng's Palace with a proud attitude. A dozen old and weak workers followed behind him.

Standing in front of the old guard, he said, "Ask the steward of Prince Sheng's Mansion to come out. It would be best if you could inform Prince Sheng and his wife that I am here today on orders."

The two old guards pointed to the door and said, "Don't worry, Minister. Steward Yun has been waiting for a long time."

Just as Xiao Shilang was about to ask where it was, Steward Yun led a group of strong men out of the gate aggressively, and beside him was a young man in white clothes with extraordinary temperament. Xiao Shilang's rising momentum was instantly killed, and his feet retreated behind the wall without his control.

This guy is ready to fight, I can't take a beating...

Steward Yun stepped over the threshold and said with a smile, "Minister Xiao, please come in and talk. The princess has asked me to follow you. If you have anything, just talk to me."

There were too many people standing in front of him. Minister Xiao had cold sweat on his forehead. He turned his head to look at the man in white, "Butler Yun, who is this man in white, and what are they here for?"

Steward Yun cupped his hands and said, "Sir Xiao, this is the princess's senior brother Zhang Fan. The princess arranged for him to help. The people behind him are all workers."

Minister Xiao glanced at the workers he brought with him, his face burning with pain, and calmed himself down, "The princess has a very large team, and it seems that she has hired hundreds of workers. In fact, the project of Prince Sheng's Mansion is not big, so it doesn't need so many people."

Zhang Fan asked with a serious expression, "Master Xiao, I would like to ask, Prince Sheng's Mansion needs to be demolished and rebuilt, why do you say the project is not big?"

Minister Xiao raised his yellow sleeves and said, "Yesterday, His Majesty issued an imperial decree to pay one million taels of silver for the renovation of Prince Sheng's Mansion. I only need to finish the front courtyards."

Butler Yun was greatly shocked and was full of admiration for Shangguan Wei.

The princess is a deity. She even knows that the budget is one million. I will follow her from now on.

He strode forward and handed the book in his arms to Minister Xiao, "Sir Xiao, this is the blueprint of the front yard. The princess has already budgeted one million taels of silver. As for the back yard, it will be in charge of the princess's senior brother."

"Okay, since Princess Sheng has agreed so readily, I will lead the workers to work, and you can take care of the backyard."

Minister Xiao took the blueprint with satisfaction and handed the yellow sleeve to Steward Yun. He turned sideways and waved to the workers below, and ordered, "Take the things with you and follow me into the palace."

Steward Yun smiled and said, "Everyone disperse and let Master Xiao lead the others in first."

Five hundred workers quickly dispersed to both sides, and Minister Xiao led the old, weak and disabled soldiers to walk among them, looking as miserable as rats crossing the street.

Zhang Fan smiled and waved his right hand, "Let's go, let's get to work and help Junior Sister to finish the palace as soon as possible, so that others won't laugh at the shabby Sheng Palace."

The voice was neither loud nor soft, and just happened to fall into Minister Xiao's ears, causing his face to turn red with embarrassment.

In the palace, Situ Chong and Shangguan Wei were waiting at the door of the imperial study. The old eunuch stood beside them and said, "Your Highness Prince Sheng, His Majesty is attending the morning court with the civil and military officials. It is inconvenient for me to pass on the message. Please wait here. The one next to you is your newly married princess. She is very beautiful."

Situ Chong nodded slightly, took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the good eunuch, "Thank you for the compliment, good eunuch. This is my first time entering the palace, and I don't know too many rules and manners. I hope you can forgive me."

The good eunuch pinched the weight of the purse with his right hand, and the arc of his mouth gradually increased. "Okay, okay, I see that the princess likes her very much, and she is a rare beauty. I will definitely say a few good words in front of Your Majesty."

Situ Chong coughed lightly, "Thank you, my good lord. I am deeply grateful."

The good young man looked worried, "Your Highness Prince Sheng's old illness needs to be treated urgently. When Your Highness was young, he was taken care of by Concubine Ru."

Situ Chong whispered yes, and then he was exhausted and moved closer to Shangguan Wei. Shangguan Wei received the signal and acted like a drama queen for half a second, "My husband's face is so pale, it's time to take medicine, I will feed you the medicine."

If you look closely, she looks quite like Pan Jinlian.

After Situ Chong took the medicine, his complexion looked a little better. The good eunuch was worried that something might happen to someone around him, so he quickly ordered his servants to help Situ Chong to the side hall to rest.

"Princess Sheng, please go to the side hall with them. I will come to look for you after His Majesty finishes the morning court."

Shangguan Wei couldn't wait to leave. "Okay, thank you, my dear eunuch."

In the side hall, two young eunuchs helped Situ Chong to lie down on the bed and left. The moment Shangguan Wei closed the door, the docile little kitten turned into a tigress.

He let out a long sigh, "Oh my god, I can't hold it anymore. The palace has so many rules and regulations that I can't play by them."

Situ Chong sat up and smiled dotingly, "Thank you for your hard work, madam. I am really ashamed of my husband."

Shangguan Wei waved her hands, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'll just treat it as a way to hone my acting skills. How can a palace drama be without me?"

"Okay, as long as Madam is happy, but if Father gets angry later, Madam, please try to be tolerant and just listen to him."

"Oh, I see. When old Shangguan scolded me before, I just took it as a turtle chanting sutras and only picked out the good things to listen to."

Situ Chong patted the bed and said, "Madam, are you sleepy? There is still some time before the morning court session. Take a nap first."

"Okay, I am really sleepy after getting up too early."

As the hour of Si approached, footsteps were heard outside the door, getting closer and closer. The door suddenly opened, and the good eunuch led Situ Yuan in. Just as he was about to speak, Situ Yuan raised his hand to stop him, and signaled him to move forward with his eyes.

The master and servant walked around the screen and soon came to the big bed. Situ Yuan was so angry at the scene that his eyes widened. Shangguan Wei hugged Situ Chong like a sloth bear, sleeping in a very comfortable position, breathing evenly.

"This, this is outrageous. Xiao Haozi woke them up. I am so mad at him."

The good eunuch wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will wake them up now."

He walked quickly to the bedside and said, "Your Highness Prince Sheng, please wake up. His Majesty is here."

Situ Chong slowly opened his eyes, gently moved Shangguan Wei's hand aside, turned to look at Situ Yuan, and said weakly, "Father, please forgive me. I was not feeling well and fell asleep."

Situ Yuan sat on a pear wood stool and pointed at Shangguan Wei angrily, "This is the princess you wanted to marry despite my order. Look at her behavior. She doesn't look like a princess at all. How can she be my daughter-in-law?"

He took a breath and said, "This morning, Minister Feng reported Princess Sheng in a stern voice, saying that her words and behavior were vulgar and that her actions were erratic, like a country woman. I didn't quite believe it at first, but now that I see it, I'm really furious."

Situ Chong sat up and asked expressionlessly, "Then from what the emperor wants me to do, what do you want me to do?"

Situ Yuan slammed the table and said, "I order you to divorce her immediately."

Shangguan Wei opened her eyes, sat up and stretched, looking at Situ Yuan with a smile, "Your Majesty, are you sure you want Situ Chong to divorce me?"
