"That's enough. Are you done yet? This matter ends here. If you dare to mention it again, I will never let you off easily." King Xiang was furious and pointed at the Queen.

"I have been deceived for so many years, it's just a joke." Princess Xiang's eyes were filled with despair, but she stubbornly held back her tears. She would not give in so easily, and no one could stand in the way of them and their son.

"You will always be my first wife. This will never change at any time." King Xiang knew that he felt guilty towards her, but this was all he could give her. He could not give her anything else.

Princess Xiang wiped away her tears and snorted coldly, "Your Highness loves the Queen in his heart, but you can never love her openly in your life. Your love is ultimately shameful. So it seems that I am not the most pitiful one. I am a joke, and Your Highness is even more of a joke. Your Highness, do you think I am right?" Princess Xiang's tone was sarcastic. Her words deeply hurt King Xiang, but they also cut her heart.

King Xiang was breathing heavily, his face was grim with anger, but he soon calmed down. She was right, falling in love with Zheng Xiyan was a joke to him, but he still couldn't help falling in love with her.

"Your Highness! I am very curious now, whether the Queen has feelings for you. I am even more curious about what you will do for the Queen. And will your kindness bring trouble to the Queen? I don't know, but I will know in the future." Princess Xiang looked like she was watching a good show. She was just waiting to see what his fate would be.

"Enough! You should leave." King Xiang said angrily.

Princess Xiang stood up, bowed politely, and said, "I'll take my leave."

The moment she walked out of the study, Princess Xiang wiped the tears from her face completely, leaving no one able to see that she had been crying.

Princess Xiang thought to herself, Xiao Xuanqi! I want to see if the queen will be grateful to you?

Princess Xiang is a smart person. She would never quarrel with the King of Xiang over this matter. Now that she has talked it out with him, she also knows that his bottom line is Zheng Xiyan.

But she would never stand idly by. Once this matter got out, none of the three of them, mother and son, would have a good ending.

Now, she may not care who he loves in his heart, but if it threatens the three of them, mother and son, then she will never let herself be bullied, and no one can stand in the way of the three of them.

After Zheng Xiyan coaxed Xiao Chengji to sleep, she returned to the bedroom.

Xiao Xuanchen went to Fanghua Palace tonight. Zheng Xiyan washed up early and lay down to prepare for sleep, but she did not fall asleep on the bed.

I remember that today during the day, I met Princess Xiang in the garden.

Her mother's previous words kept echoing in her ears. She wondered if Princess Xiang had figured out something.

She hadn't seen her mother for some time. What should she do about this matter? The rules in the temporary palace were not as strict as those in the imperial palace. If someone noticed, then... all the trouble would come.

Zheng Xiyan felt very uneasy and anxious, and fell asleep while thinking.

The next day, Zheng Xiyan continued to accompany Xiao Xuanchen on hunting trip. This time, King Xiang, King Ming and others also went with them.

Zheng Xiyan was not in the mood for hunting and was absent-minded the whole time. She followed at the end of them. This time Princess Xuanhua accompanied her, so the two of them could keep each other company.

"Sister-in-law, shall we go hunting too? If we can't hunt deer, at least we can hunt some pheasants or rabbits." Princess Xuanhua was in a very good mood and was very interested in hunting.

Zheng Xiyan smiled lightly, thinking of her archery skills, and declined, "Forget it! Forget about my archery skills!"

Princess Xuanhua's archery skills were pretty good, but she lacked strength and was not very good at hunting.

"Okay then!" Princess Xuanhua also noticed that the emperor's sister-in-law was in a bad mood and seemed to be worried about something. Thinking about how her brother had married a dancer a few days ago and that she had been quite favored recently, she thought that the emperor's sister-in-law was worried about this matter.

Princess Xuanhua then ordered Lu Ran who was standing beside her, "Lu Ran! Help me shoot a few wild rabbits later."

Lu Ran responded, "Yes! Princess."

Zheng Xiyan turned her head to look at Lu Ran, and asked with a smile: "Have you known Guard Lu before?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, he was the one who taught me archery." Princess Xuanhua replied with a smile.

"So that's how it is." Zheng Xiyan whispered.

"Come to think of it, Lu Ran can also be considered my master." Princess Xuanhua teased him with a smile.

Lu Ran was horrified and said, "I dare not. How can I be the princess's master? The princess really embarrassed me."

Princess Xuanhua smiled and said, "You are just too modest. You were my brother's study partner back then. You were good at riding, shooting, and studying. You were not inferior to my brother at all."

Zheng Xiyan listened to their conversation with a calm expression. The next second, she said to Xuanhua, "Let's speed up too!"

"Okay!" Princess Xuanhua said with a smile.

Zheng Xiyan pulled the reins and knocked her legs against the horse's belly, "Gee!"

"Go!" Princess Xuanhua followed closely and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, how about we have a horse race?"

Zheng Xiyan hesitated for a moment, and Princess Xuanhua said, "Don't worry! It's just the two of us, no one will know."

Zheng Xiyan didn't hesitate any more. It was not easy for her to come out once, so she had to enjoy herself to the fullest. "Okay!"

"Whoever reaches the stream first wins." Princess Xuanhua pointed to the stream not far ahead.

"Okay!" Zheng Xiyan smiled happily and held the reins tightly.

"Drive! Drive!"

Lu Ran behind him said quickly, "Follow us, protect the queen and the princess."

"Yes!"

Just as they were about to reach the stream, Zheng Xiyan's horse was frightened for some reason, "Ah?"

Zheng Xiyan grabbed the reins tightly, but she couldn't control the horse at all. Princess Xuanhua, who had already reached the stream, turned her head and saw this scene, and shouted, "Imperial sister-in-law!"

The horse suddenly raised its head, raised its front legs, and let out a deafening neigh.

Zheng Xiyan was shocked and scared. It was the first time she saw a horse get scared. She was confused for a moment, "Ah~"

Fortunately, Lu Ran and the others were not far away and rushed over, "Queen, be careful!"

The horse suddenly jumped up, and Zheng Xiyan was jolted and was about to fall.

Seeing this, Lu Ran immediately jumped off the horse and walked towards the front of the horse, trying to control the crazy horse. At this time, the horse raised its front legs again. This time, Zheng Xiyan did not hold the reins tightly and fell off the horse.

Lu Ran was quick to jump to the ground, and Zheng Xiyan fell on his back.

Princess Xuanhua quickly dismounted and rushed over, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
