Wu Xin found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Taihua Palace, "Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xie Shang had been busy all day, and when he saw Wu Xin coming, he said, "No need to be polite!"

Wu Xin stood up and asked again, "Why is Your Highness still in the palace?"

Xie Shang said calmly, "I am busy with official duties and have no time to take the Crown Princess out of the palace. Let's do it another day!"

"But the Crown Princess has already left the palace. She asked me to tell Your Highness that she would meet Your Highness at Baihua Lake! I thought the Crown Prince knew about it." Wu Xin had already learned the whole story from Nanny Wang.

Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "She left the palace. I have been angry here for a whole day. She left the palace alone. Who accompanied her? When did she leave? Why didn't anyone come to report it?"

Jiang Fenghua has a badge bestowed by the emperor. She is the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. With the badge in hand, she can enter and leave the palace freely.

Wu Xin said, "Didn't His Highness ask me to prepare it? I didn't know His Highness was angry... What was he angry about?"

Xie Shang didn't know why he was angry. He was angry that Jiang Fenghua didn't understand his feelings and only knew how to confuse right and wrong.

At this time, Zhu Zhenzhen came again and asked for a meeting outside the palace.

Wu Xin said, "I will go and welcome Miss Zhu in, and by the way, let someone notify the Crown Princess to invite her back to the palace!"

Wu Xin didn't respond to Xie Shang after he finished speaking and just left. He had called Miss Zhu here on purpose. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were angry because of Zhu Zhenzhen and let her walk into trouble.

They just wanted to provoke His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and let him know that he was the kind of person the Crown Princess described.

Xie Shang didn't say anything, just waited for Zhu Zhenzhen to walk in slowly, "Your concubine pays her respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." She knew that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had quarreled, and then the Crown Princess left the palace in anger. Eunuch Wuxin gave her some advice, asking her to seize the opportunity to win over His Royal Highness's heart. At this time, a man is most likely to fall into the arms of another woman, and if he has any grievances, he can just cry and complain.

Now when Xie Shang looked at Zhu Zhenzhen, he recalled Jiang Fenghua's words over and over again in his mind. Zhu Zhenzhen relied on me to support her, and she became more and more irritable. Just like now, without being summoned, she entered Taihua Palace as if she was in an empty place.

Suddenly, he slammed his fist on the table and said in a deep voice, "Is Liangdi feeling better?"

"I'm much better. Thank you, Your Highness, for asking the imperial physician to treat me." What's wrong with Your Highness? Why is he pounding the table?

"Dear Concubine, is there anything that brings you to Taihua Palace to see me?" Xie Shang said softly.

Zhu Zhenzhen said, "I saw that it was getting dark and Your Highness had been busy all day, so I made some cakes and wanted to invite Your Highness to taste them." She came to offer warmth.

She had dressed up specially for the occasion, and her makeup was delicate. She opened the food box with her slender fingers, brought out a plate of pastries and handed it to the prince, "Your Highness, try it..."

There was a light fragrance on her skin, which made people feel refreshing. She also deliberately put her hand close to the prince. His Highness would definitely like it when he smelled it.

Xie Shang was sulking because Jiang Fenghua misunderstood him, and Zhu Zhenzhen came and confirmed his crimes. This was something the Crown Prince, who thought he deeply loved the Crown Princess, could not accept.

Xie Shang smelled a fragrance and suddenly pinched her fingers. Zhu Zhenzhen looked at Xie Shang with charming eyes and a loving look, and asked softly, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"The Crown Princess never likes to apply these disgusting things on her body. Don't do it in the future." Xie Shang coldly shook off her hand and said, "I don't like to eat cakes."

Zhu Zhenzhen was stunned. His Highness had never spoken to her like this before, let alone disliked the fragrance on her body or even ate the cakes.

Doesn’t the Crown Princess like incense?

Her eyes were slightly red and tears seemed to be flashing in her eyes. She didn't know how to respond for a moment. Did he know that she was pretending to be sick?

But that night when the imperial doctors came to treat the patient, the prince was right next to them and didn't say anything?

"Your Highness, have you heard something that has led to a misunderstanding about me?" Zhu Zhenzhen asked cautiously. Did the Crown Princess say something?

Xie Shang raised a playful smile at the corner of his lips, "What misunderstanding? Is there anything Liang Di wants the Crown Princess to tell me that I don't know?"

He hesitated and said deliberately: "Today, the Crown Princess mentioned Liang Di's illness..."

Zhu Zhenzhen thought that Jiang Fenghua would definitely say that she was pretending to be sick that night, but His Highness was also there!

"Maybe the Crown Princess doesn't like me, and the Queen doesn't like me either, because I had a miscarriage and hurt my body and haven't been able to conceive a child." She pretended to be pitiful again. The Queen really only liked the ladies who were pregnant with the royal heir, so she gave the position of concubine to Tang Qianran. Did His Highness forget the promise to confer her the position of concubine?

Xie Shang threw the cakes she brought in front of her and said coldly, "The Crown Princess and the Queen Mother never said they didn't like Zhu Liang Di. They only said that Zhu Liang Di should take good care of her body and have an heir as soon as possible. But you slandered the Crown Princess and the Queen Mother in front of me. Zhu Liang Di, do you know your crime?"

Zhu Zhenzhen was so scared that she knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant."

"That's not what you meant. What do you mean? Or do you want to sow discord between me and the Crown Princess?" When he thought of Jiang Fenghua saying that Zhu Zhenzhen lost her temper in front of her, he became even more angry. "Liang Di came from the Imperial Censorate, so she must have learned the etiquette of respect and inferiority. The Crown Princess is the mistress of the East Palace, and it's the rule that the ladies are disciplined by her."

Zhu Zhenzhen's face turned pale with fright, tears streaming down her cheeks, "I got up late because I was not feeling well, and the Crown Princess also said that I was exempted from paying my daily respects." She didn't expect Jiang Fenghua to say one thing to her face and another behind her back. He said to her face that she was exempted from paying her daily respects, but then complained to the Crown Prince behind her back.

When Xie Shang heard about this, he thought, no wonder Ruan Ruan was angry. Has she become so arrogant because of her favor?

She must have known that the Crown Princess had left the palace, so she ran to him again to show her courtesy, but Ruan Ruan was still waiting for him at Baihua Lake.

He was suddenly overwhelmed with mixed feelings and filled with guilt.

Before he left, he added, "Go back and copy the palace rules a hundred times and give them to the Crown Princess to review until she is satisfied. The Crown Princess will always be my legal wife."

Zhu Zhenzhen's face turned pale and pitiful, and her shoulders twitched. She said quickly, "Yes, I'll remember it."

She originally wanted to faint, but was afraid that someone would catch her and say that she was in poor health. She was even more afraid that these things would reach her father's ears. What she needed most was the support of the Zhu family. She was the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, and she was marrying a royal relative.

What if she couldn't have children and her father gave up on her and even let Zhu Yiyi, a concubine, enter the palace? What should she do?

Zhu Zhenzhen became increasingly flustered and at a loss.

At this time, Wu Xin walked up to her and said, "My lady, how did you make the Crown Prince angry? Today is such a rare opportunity!" If you fight with the Crown Princess, you can't even match a hair of hers.

Zhu Zhenzhen grabbed Wuxin and stammered, "I don't know why His Highness is so angry today."

Wuxin didn't say a word, indicating that he didn't know either. Anyway, there were many young ladies trying to curry favor with him, and he passed the message to Young Lady Zhu because Zhu Zhenzhen gave him many benefits.
