Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

When eating crabs, Shi Li politely refused the servants who wanted to help her peel the crabs.

When it comes to eating, you have to make it yourself to make it more delicious.

Princess Wenchang didn't like seafood and didn't eat many crabs. Shi Qing also preferred drinking, so almost all the crabs on the table went to Shi Li.

The two of them did not keep persuading Shi Li not to eat more, but watched her eat happily with a smile. They only urged her to drink a bowl of hot ginger water at the end.

In the princess's words, "If you have to worry about food, what's the point of living a precious life?"

Shi Li nodded repeatedly while eating crabs, feeling that Princess Wenchang's thinking was truly open-minded and advanced.

At the same time, on the other side of the Xiang Mansion.

When the people in the mansion heard that Xiang Yue was returning to the mansion in Prince Rong's carriage, they were all shocked.

Xiang Yue's mother, in particular, was so shocked that she stood up from her chair. She didn't care about her seven-month pregnant body and hurriedly asked someone to call Xiang Yue over.

Ding'an and even the entire Zhen Dynasty were very open-minded, and many nobles liked handsome boys. She had only one precious son, who was like a pearl and a treasure since childhood.

I clearly said that I was going out for an outing today, so how come I came back in Prince Rong’s carriage?

As expected, Mrs. Xiang had the wrong idea.

When Xiang Yue came over with a harmless look on his face, Mrs. Xiang immediately pulled him in front of her and looked him over carefully from head to toe.

Although she could not see any clues, Madam Xiang still felt frightened, "Yuer, why are you sitting in Prince Rong's carriage?"

A flash of boredom flashed across Xiang Yue's eyes.

But Madam Xiang didn't notice it at all. She could only see her son with red lips and white teeth smiling at her obediently, "Don't worry, mother. It's just an accident."

Hearing him say this, Mrs. Xiang was naturally worried and wanted to question him more carefully. Xiang Yue's father just happened to hear the news and came over.

"Okay, you're pregnant, and Yue'er just needs to be fine." Xiang Qiao casually sent his wife away, and drove out the other servants as well, before looking at Xiang Yue seriously.

"What happened today?"

There was no one else in the room. Xiang Yue lowered the corners of his mouth, revealing a look of annoyance.

"At that time, Shi Li was not a country girl who had never seen the world."

The Xiang family is also a family with a hundred-year heritage. Their glory today is not only due to the fact that they have a daughter who becomes the Crown Princess, but also due to their ability to plan and judge the situation.

When the Xiang family learned that Princess Wenchang's husband had a sister who came to Ding'an, they had already set their sights on Shi Li.

The position of the Crown Prince has not been stable in the past two years, and the Third Prince has been eyeing him covetously. The Third Prince's biological mother, Consort Xian, has always been favored by His Majesty, but the Crown Prince's biological mother died early, and no one can speak for him in front of His Majesty.

The Crown Prince and the Xiang family had extended an olive branch to Princess Wenchang long ago, but Princess Wenchang had always been outside of power and did not want to get involved in this muddy water.

The Xiang family then plotted to use the marriage to transfer Princess Wenchang to the prince's camp.

So, they set their sights on Shi Li.

Xiang Chen at the welcoming banquet was just an abandoned son of the Xiang family. The Xiang family knew better than anyone whether their son was just a rotten rag or a man of substance.

I originally wanted Xiang Chen to be a vanguard to highlight Xiang Yue's uniqueness. Who would have thought that Xiang Yue would not be able to win favor today.

Xiang Qiao was very dissatisfied with Xiang Yue's answer and narrowed his eyes.

"Yuer, your sister is isolated and helpless in the Eastern Palace, and the concubine and concubine are pregnant one after another. Do you understand your father's feelings?"

In the royal family, everyone competes for favor.

In the palace, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are competing for His Majesty's favor.

In the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess also has to compete with other concubines for the Crown Prince's favor.

Especially the Crown Princess.

Not only must she be the prince's wife, but her mother's family must also become the prince's right-hand man in order to secure her position.

And right now, the greatest achievement for the prince is to win over Princess Wenchang.

Xiang Yue understood Xiang Qiao's meaning better than anyone else.

Everyone thought that the Xiang family valued the Crown Princess's younger brother Xiang Chen more, but in fact, Xiang Chen was just a target in front of people, and he, Xiang Yue, was the hope of the Xiang family's next generation.

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Yue nodded slightly, "Don't worry, father. I know the situation of the Crown Princess in the East Palace."

"It's good for you to know. The Xiang family will suffer together and prosper together." Xiang Qiao's eyes were stern.

After saying goodbye to his father, Xiang Yue walked towards his study with a sullen face.

On the way, he saw Xiang Chen who had just returned from outside.

He smelled of powder and stopped with a smile when he saw Xiang Yue.

"Oh, I heard that someone almost fell off a horse today and was saved by Miss Shi?"

Xiang Yue glanced at him indifferently and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Xiang Chen refused to let him go, and held his folding fan in front of him, seemingly trying not to hide his expression of gloating.

"Brother, you may not be as good as me when it comes to dealing with women." Xiang Chen said happily, and all the anger he had felt before about being secretly outdone by Xiang Yue was vented.

Xiang Yue suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
