Jiang Qin nodded but then thought that wasn’t right. His Highness always had his eyes above his head and he was unapproachable. Even the famous prostitutes from the brothels were just “okay” in his eyes. Before meeting Xian Sheng, only Zhan Jin’s mother concubine and Jin Emperor’s Imperial Concubine Mei, was pleasing to his eyes. When the Jin Emperor heard of his high requirements for women’s appearances, he laughed at him, claiming that he wouldn’t be able to marry anyone in the future. As expected, Zhan Lu didn’t even have a maid to tend to his needs because he disliked how ordinary looking they were. uvbpzE

Jiang Qin thought that the reason why His Highness was in love with Xian Sheng at first sight might also have to do with him not touching a single woman over the past years. In simple words, he had been controlling himself for too long and he couldn’t hold it in anymore.

But even if Xian Sheng couldn’t please him, he shouldn’t go find someone else now, should he? He would rather starve for how picky he was. Now that he had gotten what he wanted, why would he resort back to eating the ordinary dishes?

Jiang Qin was confused, but Zhan Lue stayed silent. He drank two jars of wine before finally letting him go. “Go back and sleep.”

After that, he flew in the air and stepped on the branches of the pine tree, exiting the Jiang Residence swiftly. N8I5so

Jiang Qin got off the rooftop to see his father sitting in front of the anteroom, asking, “Why aren’t you asleep?”

“He came here to ask you about the matter at the frozen lake. This father is waiting for the Crown Prince’s order.”

“…You’ve mistaken.”

Zhan Lue galloped back to the residence and walked to the bridal room. He stood in front of the furnace for a while to get rid of the cold. After he warmed up, he walked inside to check on Xian Sheng.

His face was a bit red because of how warm the room was and he lied in bed. Zhan Lue gradually kneeled by the bed and brushed his hair to the side before reaching over pecking his lips.

Xian Sheng was in deep sleep and didn’t feel anything at all.

Yuehua gave that old eunuch some silver taels and smiled, asking, “May I ask who summoned the Crown Princess?”

The eunuch refused to be bribed. She had no choice but to take back the silver taels and walk over to Xian Sheng. “I don’t think they’re summoning you with good intentions. I’ll have someone send the Crown Prince a message.”

Xian Sheng nodded and got in the horse carriage.

When they arrived and stopped, he peeked out to see that it was grand empress dowager’s palace. He couldn’t help but question this. WXVHg2

“Why hasn’t A-Chun, that stupid girl, bring me my crystal shrimp dumplings yet?” In Zhan Jin’s palace, Zhan Yin was lying on the table and complaining. Then she turned around to face Zhan Jin. There was gauze wrapped around her forehead and her expression was faint. It was no doubt that she was beautiful. Zhan Yin was delighted to see her. “Eat some more later on. I specially learned how to cook it from the cooks of South Liang. It’s to repay you for saving me yesterday.”

“If it weren’t for Empress Xin’s kindness, I would’ve been sentenced to death with my mother concubine. I just did what I was supposed to do.”

“Ah, you always like to bring this up.” Zhan Yin laughed. “We’re only a day apart from each other, and we’re also related by blood. It makes sense that the mother empress saved you too.”

Zhan Jin faintly smiled. Zhan Yin was also used to this, Outside the door, A-Chun carried a tray of crystal shrimp dumplings and brought in some news at the same time, “Crown Prince’s horse carriage just entered the palace. It was strange though. She didn’t go visit the empress, but headed towards the empress dowager’s palace instead.” dknt A

Zhan Yin was confused and suddenly realized that something was off. Zhan Jin also remembered something. “Did you personally see Qin Yi break Qing Rong’s hand?”

“Grandmother loves Qing Rong a lot, so she definitely would unleash her fury on sister-in-law.” Zhan Yin was also anxious. “A-Jin, quickly think of a solution.”

At this point, Xian Sheng just walked in. She noticed that besides the empress dowager, there was a woman whose expression was cold as nice. Looking at her accessories, she seemed like an imperial consort. He greeted them when the empress dowager’s expression coldened. She slapped the table and exclaimed, “Get on your knees!”

Xian Sheng calmly kneeled down. “Grandmother, may I ask what crime I’ve committed?” CA ExY

“You colluded with the Liangs and broke Qing Rong’s hand, as well as hurting the Sixth Prince. You dare to ask me what crimes you’ve committed now? Mama, go and slap her!”

Xian Sheng said, “Even if I really colluded with the Liangs, that is a national matter and should be handled by the Ministry of Justice. Grandmother skipped over emperor father and Ministry of Justice, punishing your granddaughter-in-law in private. Those that knew the situation would’ve thought that you were being considerate of emperor father and trying to be helpful. Those that don’t know would’ve thought you were exceeding your own status and looking down upon the emperor.”

The empress dowager’s expression changed. Imperial Consort Rong also glimpsed over and lifted her brows. She gradually stood up. “The princess of the Liang Country really has a sharp tongue. You seem to be familiar with the laws of the North Jin. Then may I ask you something? If I slap you just because I don’t like you, what should you do? After all, I’m your senior and you’re my junior.”

Xian Sheng faintly smiled. “Imperial Consort, you should think clearly before doing that.” EcNrD

Imperial Consort Rong smiled and said lazily, “I can’t think clearly. Princess, why don’t you analyze this for me?”

“I am the princess of the Liang Country, and I am essential to the peace within the two countries. Imperial Consort, if you slap me, that means you’re deliberating starting a war between the two countries.”

“Oh?” Imperial Consort Rong said, “You mean… the small country that Zhan Lue had consecutively conquered twenty cities from?”

Xian Sheng’s expression didn’t change. “Not just that. I’m also the Crown Princess and the empress’ daughter-in-law. If you have a reason as to why you’re slapping me, you can get away with this. But this is our first time meeting and we had no former enmity. You’re clearly going against the empress like this. This seems reasonable.” KlFUe3

Imperial Consort Rong’s eyes coldened. “You think I’m scared of her?”

“You can try.”

Imperial Consort Rong sneered and suddenly lifted her hand. Ruyi hurried over and hugged Xian Sheng, taking the slap. “Imperial Consort, please calm down. Princess has a delicate body. If you’re angry, hit this palace maid instead.”

Xian Sheng glanced at her and Ruyi gave her a look to endure this. fNbGcs

Imperial Consort Rong tched. “What a loyal palace maid. A pity that from your master’s perspective, she thinks that you’re just making it seem like she is admitting defeat.”

Xian Sheng pursed his lips and heard her continue, “Since this is the case, I’ll slap you to teach your master a lesson.”

“Maids!”

“Your Majesty has arrived—!” XA9xQN

Zhan Yin walked in with large strides with Empress Xin. Imperial Consort Rong gradually withdrew her hand and subconsciously revealed a smile. “Sister, you’re here.”

Xin Meichen’s gaze met hers and then she looked down at Xian Sheng. “A-Yin, help your sister-in-law up.”

Zhan Yin walked over. In the next second, a loud slap rang and her heart trembled.

Xian Sheng looked up to hear Xin Meichen’s icy voice, “My son finally got a wife, and she’s so delicate and weak that no one can touch her. Yet, you dare to hurt her?! You deserve to be punished!” bjfHPu
