Half a month later, the usually peaceful Dingyuan Marquis Mansion became lively. When Yu Caijiao came out of the courtyard, she seemed like a different person, and her face was a little gloomy.

"Second Madam, I heard that a maid from the palace has come to the front yard, and the prince wants you to come over."

The maid ran over to report immediately, and was shocked when she saw her expression.

The second lady has been staying in the house these days and rarely sees the sun. She looks even more mean now.

The maid in the palace?

Yu Caijiao packed up and immediately rushed to the front yard. The visit of the palace nanny was usually a big deal.

In the front yard, there stood a sophisticated-looking nanny, who was meticulous from head to toe. Only the word "upright" could bring out the nanny's temperament.

Seeing that everyone was present, Xiao Cheng spoke up, "I wonder what business Aunt Zhao has here?"

This Nanny Zhao is someone close to the emperor. She was also his former wet nurse and now holds a very high status in the palace.

"Prince Xiao, it's the princess' birthday. His Majesty has ordered that all the wives of fifth-rank officials must attend. The two wives in the prince's mansion must also prepare gifts and go."

Nanny Zhao speaks in a very official tone, and one can tell from her voice that she is someone who has been in official circles for many years.

Even if someone in the palace is a eunuch, he will be respected if he has been there for a long time.

"Thank you for taking this trip, Ma'am." Xiao Cheng spoke slowly, and the person standing behind him immediately bowed.

The prince should give this nanny some face and not be impolite, so as to avoid the nanny returning to the palace to complain.

Yu Caiwei smiled and walked forward to escort Madam Zhao out of the house.

She took out a brocade bag from her sleeve and stuffed it into Madam Zhao's hand, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."

Seeing that the Crown Prince's wife was a sensible person, Nanny Zhao decided to say a few more words to her.

"His Majesty dotes on the princess, so the Crown Princess should spend more time thinking about the gift." If she can please His Majesty and the princess, the Crown Princess will also get some rewards.

I heard that the Crown Prince's wife was not born into a good family. Although she was a legitimate daughter, she came from a poor family. Marrying her into the Crown Prince was considered marrying up.

Yu Caiwei smiled and nodded, and even bowed when she saw the nanny get on the carriage.

The carriage drove away into the distance, and she walked towards the mansion.

This princess is indeed favored by the emperor, otherwise he would not have specially invited so many female relatives into the palace for her.

"Prince, Caijiao has been under house arrest for so many days, and her mind has become more open. Can you accompany Caijiao for a meal?"

Yu Caijiao spoke cautiously. He had been accompanying Yu Caiwei these days, so now it should be her turn.

"Then let's dine together."

Xiao Cheng opened his mouth slowly, and under Yu Jiang's guidance, the three of them sat at a table.

Yu Caiwei's expression was calm, she was very happy to accept it, but Yu Caijiao did not look too happy.

She wanted to monopolize everything from Xiao Cheng and even the entire Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Like a robber, she was too jealous of others and ended up getting herself into trouble.

"Your Highness, this is something I made with bird's nests. You can have a taste."

Yu Caijiao stood up and served Xiao Cheng a bowl of bird's nest porridge. It looked snow-white and silky, with some flower petals sprinkled on it, which was quite novel.

"This stuff is good for your body, drink more." Xiao Cheng immediately served a bowl to Yu Caiwei.

At this moment, Yu Caijiao felt like a clown. No matter what she did, she could not get Xiao Cheng's love and favor.

She cooked it herself, but he was always thinking about Yu Caiwei.

"Is your sister's injury better?"

Yu Caijiao opened her mouth slowly with a faint smile on her lips.

"Thanks to my sister, I'm almost fully recovered now."

Yu Caiwei took a bite with a smile, looking at the bowl of snow-white bird's nest in front of her without moving the spoon.

If Yu Caijiao put something here, she couldn't see it, so it was better to be careful.

Yu Caijiao had no appetite after the meal, so she went back home early.

If she can win first place at the princess' birthday banquet this time, the prince will take a closer look at her.

Thinking of this, Yu Caijiao secretly vowed to herself that this time she must win the first prize in the birthday banquet.

"Did you do this on purpose?"

Yu Caiwei looked at the empty seat and spoke slowly. Yu Caijiao was sitting here just now, but now she was angered and left by him.

He married her and treated her like this, no one could stand it.

It would be fine if she wasn't favored, but being looked down upon all day long is something that Yu Caijiao, with her proud personality, definitely can't stand. Perhaps she is planning what to do next.

"She has a proud and arrogant personality, so she needs to be tempered with him."

Xiao Cheng spoke in a calm tone, as if he was talking about an insignificant person.

Seeing his look, Yu Caiwei lowered her head and laughed. He really was clear-headed. He was fascinated by Yu Caijiao in his last life, so why wasn't he fascinated by her in this life?

"What does the princess like?"

Yu Caiwei ate the pastry in her hand in small bites and raised her eyebrows at him.

She also wanted to show off her charm at the princess' birthday party, but she really didn't know what the princess liked.

Xiao Cheng has been in the palace for many years and must have been familiar with the princess. He must know what the princess likes.

"What? Is there anything in this world that Prince Xiao doesn't know?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yu Caiwei immediately said exaggeratedly that Xiao Cheng was a very face-conscious person, and he would investigate even if he didn't know.

"Shu brocade."

Sure enough, he knew what the princess liked.

Yu Caiwei curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me." This time she wanted to stand out in front of the emperor so that she would have a chance.

If you are troubled in the future, you can use this divine grace to escape.

Yu Caiwei was away from the house all day, which gave Yu Caijiao an opportunity. She could use the excuse to serve Xiao Cheng.

With the previous experience as a lesson, he became wary of her.

"Prince, Caijiao will help you undress." Yu Caijiao's tender white arms climbed directly onto Xiao Cheng's neck, and he couldn't dodge in time.

"Prince, Caijiao wants to have sex with you."

Yu Caijiao showed a hint of shyness on her face and placed her hand carefully on his belt.

Xiao Cheng was shocked, then reached out and pushed her hand away.

"Get some rest early."

He stood up and left without looking back. Yu Caijiao stood at the door in a thin dress, looking at the direction he left, with a fire of jealousy burning in her heart.

He went to Yu Caiwei again, and this was clearly the direction of her yard.

"Princess, we come here all day, but the embroiderer won't even see us."

Baocui felt helpless. The Crown Prince's wife had good intentions, but the embroiderer was so arrogant. In her opinion, there was no need for her to wait here any longer.

She is just an embroiderer from Shu, working in a small workshop here. She has a bad temper and the Crown Prince's wife can't even see her if she wants to.

"Baocui, be patient." Yu Caiwei frowned slightly. The embroiderer's craftsmanship was excellent. As for why she wanted to work in this small workshop, perhaps only people who had seen her would know the reason.

"The sun is so scorching, and the Crown Prince's wife has to stay outside in the sun. The Crown Prince will be distressed if he knows."
