As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

The funeral of the Second Prince's wife was quite grand on the day. Many officials attended the funeral with their wives. Logically speaking, she was just a concubine of one prince.

Her standards were far from this level, and the complications involved were probably only understood by them.

That day, Shen Lanyue finally met Sun Shuhao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She was wearing a light-colored dress that made her figure look even thinner. Even the exquisite and heavy outfit could not hide the fatigue and numbness in her eyes.

She was no longer the spoiled and arrogant eldest daughter of the Sun family in Shen Lanyue's memory, nor was she as contemptuous and vicious as in her previous life.

Shen Lanyue only looked at her from a distance in the crowd, but he could already see through the coldness and forbearance in her eyes.

Sun Shuhao was actually a little stunned when her eyes met Shen Lanyue's. But soon after Shen Lanyue nodded to her and greeted her, she also nodded slightly.

She looked a little dazed because she saw Shen Lanyue's high spirits, with a moist and peaceful look between her brows.

“It turns out that this is also possible.”

Sun Shuhao's words were whispered softly, and the nanny beside him heard them and asked in confusion: "Princess, what's wrong?"

The nanny now really didn't dare to leave her master's side easily. When she saw that she was looking at the wife of Marquis Changning, she was shocked.

Isn’t this Lady of Marquis Changning the elder sister of Shen Wanqing in the backyard?

The nanny looked around, fearing that her master might do something bad, and carefully pulled Sun Shuhao's sleeve.

She found that Sun Shuhao was now a little paranoid and even hostile to everyone.

This includes the Third Prince.

Sun Shuhao lowered her head and smiled. She knew what the nanny was thinking.

"I'm just a little envious of her, or should I say that I envy the fact that all the daughters of the Shen family are blessed by God?" Her tone was melancholy and sad.

The nanny didn't dare to say a word, but her expression was extremely nervous.

Sun Shu withdrew his gaze from Shen Lanyue's pretty and gentle face, was confused for a moment, then retracted his expression and turned back into the arrogant and proud Third Princess.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

In fact, Shen Lanyue didn't stay with Sun Shuhao for long. She knew too much about the things and people in Li Wenxuan's backyard, so she was not surprised by her changes.

Everything that Sun Shuhao is experiencing now, Shen Lanyue has experienced in her previous life, even several times more than her.

Her change was not because her pride was shattered, but because of this man, Li Wenxuan. Everything was influenced by him invisibly.

"not comfortable?"

Meng Changce saw Shen Lanyue frowning and looking vaguely, and asked with concern.

Shen Lanyue turned around and smiled at him, then said softly, "No, I just saw an old friend."

Meng Changce held her hand tightly, silently comforting her. He lowered his eyelids and glanced at the receding figure without asking any further questions.

-------------------------------------

Emperor Yingde issued an edict that the Second Prince, for his meritorious service in guarding the frontier over the years, was given the title of Prince of Chen, becoming the first living prince to be crowned a king.

The most important point is his title, Chen.

This word meant something very bad. Li Wenxuan and Li Jing became panicked. It seemed as if they were back in the days when Li Xuli was in the capital. All the princes were suppressed by him and had no chance to stand out.

But worse news also came. After conferring the title on him, Emperor Yingde issued another imperial decree, ordering him to return to the capital instead of returning to the frontier.

This time, the situation in the capital city once again underwent earth-shaking changes.

Compared to the prince's panic and surprise, the queen was not that happy.

The senior palace maid beside the Queen didn't understand why the Queen had such a sad face and no joy at all when this was clearly something worth celebrating.

"Master, now that the Second Prince is already the Prince of Chen, why are you unhappy, Your Majesty?"

The queen glanced at her sideways, her eyes solemn, "If the emperor made Xu Li a king and let him stay in the capital, I would be happy. But with just one word, he has no foundation and is being favored. Is this a blessing or a curse?"

Of course the word "Chen" is precious, but it is given at the wrong time.

In the current situation, the Third and Fourth Princes already have stable connections in the capital, but Xu Li who is left now does not have any. Those people from back then are either dead or no longer in the court.

What the Queen understood most clearly was that in a few days, the Emperor would confer the title of King on the remaining adult princes, thus achieving a certain stability.

If the emperor still wanted Xu Li to ascend the throne as he did in the past, he would either directly make him the crown prince or not put him in such a prominent position.

The queen narrowed her eyes, her breathing became heavier, and her eyes were so dark and cold under her long eyelashes that they seemed to turn the entire Kunning Palace into ice.

The senior palace maid gasped and quickly knelt down.

At this time, there was a sound of dripping rain outside the house, and it was urgent. After a while, the sound of rain was mixed with a few muffled thunders.

A rain came unexpectedly. Shen Lanyue looked at the clothes that Fanfan was trying to put on her and smiled helplessly.

"It's so hot, and I'm not outside, why do you still need to put it on me?"

Fanfan kept moving her hands and said, "But Madam, you don't listen to me and insist on staying by the window to listen to the rain and enjoy the scenery." As she said that, she tied her cloak for her. "I promised you, you have to listen to me too, and you must not catch a cold."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Shen Lanyue could only let her put on her clothes.

The red window was half open, and a slight cool breeze came in. Shen Lanyue felt the breeze on her face. Seeing the bamboo outside the window being blown all over the place by the wind, she felt in a very good mood.

She looked back and saw Fanfan sitting not far away, concentrating on embroidering a small piece of clothing in her hands. The smile on her lips deepened.

It’s great that they have made it through another year.

Now she has a child who is related to her by blood, so naturally it is a good thing.

The rain came suddenly and went away quickly. It only rained for one night, but the next day it became even hotter.

The temperature suddenly rose to a level never seen in previous years, and many cold drinks in the capital were in great demand. The long queues were a prominent sight in the capital.

However, no one appeared to cause trouble, and this was thanks to the fact that the Second Prince specifically ordered people to patrol these businesses, which led to such a good situation.

Half a month later, the weather slowly cooled down again, and what the queen had expected happened exactly.

Emperor Yingde issued an edict, conferring the title of King Sheng on the third prince, King Xian on the fourth prince, and King Kang on the fifth prince.

From then on, all the princes officially began to take the throne.
