After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

Although she was not the principal wife, she was at least a concubine who was formally married and recorded in the imperial edict. Her status was completely different from that of an ordinary concubine.

Generally, concubines can only be concubines for life and cannot be promoted to the principal wife. However, it is different for concubines. To use a folk saying, they are equal wives. If the principal wife is gone or makes a serious mistake, the concubine can completely replace her.

It was also because of this that Shen Yihuan's mother wanted her daughter to compete for the throne of Queen.

Therefore, according to etiquette, the prince should accompany Shen Yihuan back on these three visits.

"I wonder if the prince will accompany Concubine Liang back today?" Early in the morning, Cuicui looked outside the palace anxiously, but she didn't get any good news, so she couldn't help but ask.

Lianwu's face was not good either. When she heard Cuicui's question, she replied, "I'm afraid not. The prince is very partial. He must have gone back with Jiang Liangdi."

"No way. Our Liangdi's parents are at least the most powerful prime minister and the most honorable princess in the court. Would the crown prince be so tactless as to go and meet the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"

Nanny Zhang looked disapproving and sneered, "Haven't you seen what our prince looks like these past few days?"

When Shen Yihuan heard that something was wrong, she quickly reminded him, "Madam Zhang, don't talk about the prince behind his back."

Being used to Shen Yihuan's soft-tempered appearance, Aunt Zhang felt embarrassed when she was suddenly lectured by him.

Her face froze, and she continued, "Liang Di, I am speaking up for you. The Crown Prince is really outrageous, and that Liang Di Jiang is a foxy woman..."

"Shut up!" Shen Yihuan's aura suddenly changed. She stared at Aunt Zhang fiercely, pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Nanny Zhang couldn't hold back her expression any longer, and said in astonishment: "Liang Di you..."

Shen Yihuan closed his eyes depressedly. He originally wanted to find time to talk to her about this matter in a few days, but seeing her like this at this moment, it seems that it is now urgent.

When she opened her eyes again, they were clear. They were no longer as fierce as before, nor as timid as before. Instead, she was calm and composed.

"Madam Zhang, I thought you were an old man carefully trained by my mother, but I didn't expect that after entering the palace, you are not even as good as half of the palace maids."

Aunt Zhang, who had always been arrogant, suddenly became unhappy when someone said she was worthless.

"My dear, I don't like what you said. What did I do wrong to make you say such a thing?"

"It seems that you really don't know. Today is a good day. Everyone is here. I have wanted to say something for a long time. I will take this opportunity to tell you what I think."

This was the first time that the people in the room saw her expression so serious. They slowly approached her and looked at her with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Shen Yihuan stared at Aunt Zhang and said slowly: "Aunt Zhang, everyone in the palace knows that trouble comes from the mouth, but you don't take this matter to heart at all. Every time you speak nonsense, do you want to kill yourself or me?" After saying this, the corners of his mouth curved up.

But in the eyes of others, that smile was not warm at all. They couldn't help but feel frightened. When did Shen Liangdi become so powerful? When she was at the mansion, she was such a silent person with a very low sense of existence.

But every word and sentence spoken today is so...heart-stirring.

Aunt Zhang was speechless. Her face turned pale and she said, "This... I..."

"You are so ignorant of the rules, and you keep talking about how powerful my family is, how powerful my father is, and how famous my mother, the eldest princess, is. Have you ever thought about what you mean by saying these things in this palace?"

In her opinion, whether it was Aunt Zhang or Aunt Li, or Lian Song Lian Wu, or Cuicui, they were all spoiled too much and were totally unaware of the dangers from the outside world.

Shen Yihuan's tone turned cold: "In this palace, who has more power than the emperor, who has a higher reputation than the queen? You are so ignorant of your own life and death. If these arrogant words are heard by the emperor and the queen, not only will I suffer, but my father and mother will also suffer."

“Have you ever thought about these?”

"This..." Nanny Zhang wanted to refute several times, but damn, she found that what the other party said actually made sense.

Please forgive her for her poor knowledge. In the past, she followed Zhao and was praised by her subordinates because she was Zhao's right-hand man. Over time, she developed a mentality of not knowing how high the sky is and how deep the earth is.

Shen Yihuan's words were like a revelation to her. Her muddled mind, which had been in a daze for so many years, was finally awakened today.

The room was silent, and everyone stared at Shen Yihuan in shock, as if they were really meeting her for the first time. How could she be more terrifying than the eldest princess at home with such sharp words, such a clear mind, and such an aura around her?

Unconsciously, they began to feel a little awe towards Shen Yihuan, and no longer dared to look down on her as they did in the past.

Shen Yihuan helplessly found that his mouth was dry after his speech, but fortunately, judging from the expressions on their faces, it was quite effective.

The beating is almost enough, and it is still necessary to give a sweet gift at the appropriate time.

So she softened her tone and said humbly, "Madame Zhang and Madame Li, you are the elders of the mansion, and you were carefully trained by my mother to help me. I know you are capable, and I will need your help in the future in this palace."

"Lady Liang, you're too kind." Nanny Zhang and Nanny Li knelt down at the same time. This time they were truly convinced, and when they thought about it carefully, they felt a little fortunate.

Fortunately, they have a sober master, otherwise if they continue to act like this, something bad might happen one day. Then, it will be too late to regret.

After this conversation, the two maids, two nannies, and even Cuicui sent by Zhao finally got to know Shen Yihuan better.

What is shocking is that the weak woman who was originally cowardly and incompetent and easy to control now seems to be a dormant tiger.

This is a good thing for the eldest princess's expectations, because compared with stupid and timid people, people with deep thoughts are more likely to succeed.

But what shocked them was that Shen Yihuan was so good at hiding and enduring.

She had been humble and submissive for more than ten years, and everyone in the mansion thought she was a weak person who could be bullied. During that period, her life could not be said to be bad, but it could be said to be quite bad.

But even so, she never showed any sign of weakness or revealed any of her abilities.

If her own safety had not been endangered today, who knows how long this tiger would remain dormant.

Now, they don’t have to worry about Concubine Liang not competing for favor. With such a scheming mind, is she afraid of not being able to snatch the favor of the prince?

They never doubted that Shen Yihuan did not want to compete for favor or gain the prince's affection.

After all, who wants to live a dull life in this life? You always have to strive for something.

However, this time, Shen Yihuan was destined to disappoint them, and the eldest princess's calculations were wrong.
