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

For three whole days, Shen Yihuan was locked up in Chengqian Palace by Zhao Xun, enduring his endless demands.

Those days were really dark for Shen Yihuan. But Zhao Gouzi said it was all due to the bowl of nourishing soup.

Of course Shen Yihuan would never believe that a bowl of tonic soup could keep him standing for three days. This must be a lie.

However, she did regret it this time. Next time, she would definitely not give him that fatal thing.

On the fourth day, she still sneaked out. While Zhao Xun was preparing breakfast for her, she ran out of Chengqian Hall. She looked so frightened, as if there was a hungry wolf chasing her. She was as embarrassed as could be.

"Liang Di, you're finally back." Cuicui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her return safely.

Ever since that day when she went with Liangdi to deliver tonic to the prince, the prince only left Liangdi behind and asked her to come back alone.

For the next three days, Liangdi didn't come back, and she felt very uneasy.

Shen Yihuan nodded, his calves trembling slightly, and he walked forward with unsteady steps.

As he was stepping over the threshold, his legs went weak and his body rushed forward uncontrollably.

Everyone exclaimed when they saw her, and rushed forward to help her: "Liang Di, are you okay?"

Cuicui looked concerned and carefully looked Shen Yihuan up and down several times, and said, "Liang Di, I haven't seen you for only three days, and you have lost a lot of weight. You don't look well either. Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince abuse you?"

"What do you know, little girl? His Highness doesn't even have time to love his Concubine enough." Nanny Zhang looked at the uncivilized little girl with amusement and smiled at Shen Yihuan.

Shen Yihuan's face turned red, and with the help of everyone, she entered Qingfeng Courtyard.

On the other side, Zhao Xun came back happily with breakfast, only to find that the hall was empty.

After thinking about it, he smiled slyly and sat down to eat his breakfast.

During these three absurd days, a lot of things have piled up. Although his father didn't say anything, he has grown up and should take the initiative to take charge of some things.

When he went to see the emperor, his mother happened to be there.

The queen saw how happy he was and had heard some rumors recently, so she couldn't help but give him a few words of advice.

In fact, after the incident with Jiang Yining, the queen also figured it out. Emotional matters are Xun'er's own business. He knows his limits, so she doesn't need to interfere. The only thing she needs to teach him is about the past. She should persuade him to concentrate.

However, a few days ago, the emperor praised her good son in front of her for his good suggestions on dealing with the locust plague and floods. This made her feel comforted and she felt that her son had really grown up.

It was also because of this that she let go of the things happening in the prince's harem.

This made the Crown Princess very angry. In the past, she could still spread rumors to the Queen and create small obstacles for the women around the Crown Prince.

But now the Queen doesn't care, so even if she talks till her mouth is hoarse, it won't have any effect.

The Crown Princess has been sulking since she came out of the Queen's Palace.

It just so happened that her younger sister, the third daughter of the Duke's Mansion, Liu Qingqing, came to visit her today.

"Qingqing, is your marriage to the eldest son of the general's mansion getting closer?"

Seeing her sister, the Crown Princess felt a little better and a genuine smile appeared on her face.

Her younger sister has grown up following her closely since she was a child, and they are born of the same mother, so they are very close.

The two sisters have similar personalities, both are gentle and introverted. She is not living a happy life, and now the only thing she wants to see is her younger sister being happy.

"Are you talking about Ma Xuyan?" When Liu Qingqing mentioned this person, she rolled her eyes with disgust, "I really don't know what Daddy and Mommy were thinking, to marry me to someone like that."

"Sister, I think Ma Xuyan is pretty good. He's right for you."

The Crown Princess knew her sister's personality very well. She was gentle and reserved. If she were to marry someone with a bad temper, she would definitely not be able to win the argument.

Although Ma Xuyan came from a family of military generals, he liked reading and had a gentle personality, making him the most suitable match for a girl like her.

"What's the point of being so good? He's from a military family, but he likes to read books. He talks nonsense every day, and he's full of sour air."

The Crown Princess glared at her helplessly and asked casually, "If you don't like scholars, then what do you like?"

"A real man should be upright and self-reliant. I like mighty generals."

"In that case, his second son does fit the bill."

"No, no, no, he's too ugly, I don't like him." Liu Qingqing shook her head vigorously and said her preference seriously, "Although he's a warrior, I like handsome warriors."

"You little girl." The Crown Princess looked helpless and sighed, "No matter what, the marriage has been decided. I think Ma Xuyan is a good man. You should calm down and live a good life with him."

Liu Qingqing felt annoyed when she heard this, so she changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about him. Is there anything bothering me recently?"

When she first saw her sister, she noticed that she was frowning, as if she was worried about something.

Speaking of this, the Crown Princess frowned, as she thought that Shen Yihuan was really difficult to deal with.

Seeing her silence, the senior palace maid beside her couldn't help but speak up: "What else can the Crown Princess worry about? It's just the things in the Crown Prince's backyard. Before, it was Jiang Liangdi, and finally Shen Liangdi appeared."

"Wanxin, please stop talking."

Liu Qingqing pondered for a moment and said, "Shen Liangdi, is she the second daughter of the eldest princess?"

"Who else could it be but her?"

"Wanxin!" The Crown Princess spoke again, with a hint of severity in her voice.

Wan Xin knelt on the ground with a thud and looked up, saying, "Crown Princess, please don't blame me for being nosy. You have no words to express your pain. Now that the Third Young Lady is here, you can talk to her about some things."

Liu Qingqing nodded and acted coquettishly to her elder sister: "Yes, sister, you and I have had a good relationship since we were young. I will tell you everything, so don't keep it in your heart."

The Crown Princess moved her lips but didn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Liu Qingqing was anxious, so she said to Wan Xin: "Wan Xin, you tell me."

Wan Xin glanced at the Crown Princess cautiously, and seeing that she did not stop her, she immediately told her all the bad things that had happened during this period.

After listening to this, Liu Qingqing frowned tightly and said one last sentence.

"It seems that Shen Liangdi is not easy to deal with."

"That's right. The Crown Prince has been doting on her recently. She is becoming more and more presumptuous in front of the Crown Princess. She even dares to openly challenge her."

Seeing that her younger sister was worried about her, the Crown Princess quickly pulled herself together and comforted her, "Sister, these are just small matters. Could she threaten my position as Crown Princess?"

Liu Qingqing shook her head and said solemnly, "Sister, it's hard to say."

The two sisters fell into silence, both looking very unhappy. Everyone in the room was affected by them and felt very depressed.
