When he woke up the next day, Xiao Chengji put on his clothes, got out of bed, and took the cup of tea handed to him by the eunuch.

He had a cold temperament since childhood and did not like others to approach him casually. Without permission, the eunuchs did not dare to come forward to change his clothes.

A ray of sunlight came in through the window. Since he didn't have to attend court today, he didn't go into the palace. It was just dawn at this time, and the entire Cangfengtai was shrouded in sunlight.

The spy told Xiao Chengji what he had learned from the palace last night.

Xiao Chengji was not surprised at all about this.

Dongxinhou Mansion and Kangpingwang Mansion wanted to make a comeback with Xiao Jiashan, but how could it be so easy? You can't get benefits just by clinging to the powerful. This time they learned a lesson. In the future, these people will be cautious when dealing with Xiao Jiashan.

Huoha was also feeling curious.

Because Xiao Chengji had never fought with Xiao Jiashan in the past, his main focus was still on the affairs of the Ministry of Justice.

It felt strange that he suddenly targeted Xiao Jiashan without any reason this time.

Xiao Chengji asked the spy to go down, and he straightened his clothes. Only then did the eunuch dare to come forward and put on the belt and hair crown for him.

In the early morning, there was a faint smell of burning incense in Cangfengtai. The cool and clear scent of sweet pine and sandalwood was particularly obvious. Xiao Chengji thought these people were clumsy and waved his hand to let them go.

He suddenly remembered something: "The princess has to take care of the family affairs during this period. She has mobilized some personnel and made some arrangements. Everything should be based on her instructions first."

Huo Ha had not expected this. Before, Xiao Chengji said that he would let the princess be in charge, but he actually let the other party make the arrangements.

Huo Ha thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy. If the maids and eunuchs in charge of the mansion were to suddenly listen to the princess's arrangements, there would definitely be some conflicts..."

Xiao Chengji said impatiently: "Those who don't obey will be dragged away and beaten to death."

Huo Ha was really frightened this time, and he also felt that the prince sincerely wanted the princess to be the housekeeper, so he quickly said: "Yes, I will remind them that anyone who dares to disobey the master's orders will be dragged away and beaten to death."

Xiao Chengji had to go out and ignored him. At this time, breakfast was delivered.

Yan Yu had finally finished copying all ten volumes of scriptures, and she was wondering when she would have time to deliver them to the Queen.

However, Queen Zheng probably isn't in a very good mood these days. It would be strange for her to be happy when her son has done such a shameful thing.

I heard that the two sisters-in-law of the Shao Mansion arrived in the capital yesterday evening, and Yan Yu will go to the Shao Mansion to visit them today.

She got up, had breakfast and went out.

Shao Junliang's wife, Luo, and Shao Junshou's wife, Zhang, had been on a long and tiring journey. When they returned yesterday, they had no time to think about other things. They just settled the people and things they brought with them and chatted with their husbands about family matters.

Today they were also thinking about whether or not to go to the Prince Qin's Mansion to take a look, but they were not very brave.

When Yan Yu was in the Shao family, he had a good relationship with them. Luo was ten years older than Yan Yu, and Zhang was only six years older than Yan Yu. They often talked and did needlework together on weekdays, and he didn't notice any difference.

Yan Yu is a little cousin living under someone else's roof, and they are also young wives who married into the family. Because Yan Yu has a good temper and a good personality, they don't have to treat Yan Yu as carefully as they treat the unmarried girls of the Shao family, and sometimes they even feel a sense of sympathy for her.

After all, a daughter-in-law who marries into the family has to serve the lady and the old lady above, as well as a group of sisters-in-law below. Before she can truly regard the Shao family as her own home and have a real sense of belonging, she has to wait until she gives birth.

Now that Yan Yu is married, things are very different.

Yan Yu married a prince. The royal family must be of high status, but the princes are divided into different levels. For example, the status of the Qin Palace is just below that of the crown prince. Unfortunately, the Wei Dynasty has no crown prince, and the Qin Prince is a hot candidate for the crown prince.

As the principal wife of the Prince of Qin, Yan Yu had to bow her head when she saw her once she left the palace, no matter what those noble ladies outside thought of her.

Luo and Zhang were worried that the two would go straight to the Qin Palace to visit the Qin Princess as soon as they arrived, which would be seen as trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. The family was so high-ranking, how could they, the two young wives, just step in casually?

Another thing is that there are too many dignitaries in the capital, and only if the old lady of the family comes can she have the face to speak in front of the princess. What are the two of them?

They were afraid that Yan Yu had met so many noble people that he would look down on them.

The husbands of Luo and Zhang studied together since childhood and had a deep affection for each other, so the relationship between the two sisters-in-law was pretty good. At least they had never had any arguments in public.

In fact, to be honest, there is really nothing to fight about between the two of them. Neither of them takes care of the household in Anqing Marquis' Mansion. On weekdays, they just pay their respects to their mother-in-law, greet the old lady, see the children, and talk to each other.

The doors of the Marquis' Mansion are one after another, and one cannot go out all year round. The youth and years slowly slip away in them. Perhaps there was still a fighting spirit in the beginning, but it was eventually worn away.

Isn't it better for two sisters-in-law to hold hands and talk to each other, or do needlework together, rather than quarreling with each other?

After dinner, their husbands went to the Hanlin Academy, and Zhang and Luo sat together to talk and do needlework.

Luo didn't talk much, while Zhang liked to talk more. They didn't know about the joke the Fifth Prince made yesterday. All they knew was that Yan Yu's marriage was changed to that of the King of Qin.

Zhang said: "The Emperor likes the Prince of Qin more, and he is not bad either. I wonder if Miss Yan is used to the climate here. I always feel that the weather here is too dry."

Luo lowered her head and embroidered: "She doesn't like to eat normally. I hope she can get used to it as soon as possible."

Zhang hesitated for a moment: "When are we going to see the girl?"

Mrs. Luo fell silent: "I'm afraid of causing trouble for the girl."

As the two were talking, a maid came in and announced: "Madam, Madam, the Princess of Qin is here! The carriage is outside!"

Zhang and Luo were surprised. They looked at each other's clothes. They were both wearing casual clothes, not fancy clothes. They thought it might not be nice if the princess saw them.

But it would not be good to run to wash, dress and change clothes at this time and keep the princess waiting.

The maid who delivered the message didn't think too much about it and was still very happy: "Let's go! Miss Yan is now the Princess of Qin. She will definitely be happy to see the two grandmas in the capital."

Zhang was stunned for a moment: "Why are they all our sisters? Haven't we seen them all before? Let's go over there and don't let our sister wait any longer."
