After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

The young man sat on the stone bench in a casual posture, with one hand casually placed on the table, and with the other hand he played with the golden bell on his palace belt out of boredom, the bell occasionally making a clear and pleasant sound.

Although he had a smile on his lips, his eyes were cold, and the arc of his smile seemed like an illusion to others.

Shang Tingli was stunned.

The young man's words of accusation froze Yu Lingling in her place, and she dared not speak for a long time. It was the man behind her who was a few years older than her who first reacted and bowed with the monk: "Greetings, Crown Princess."

Seeing this, everyone followed suit and saluted: "Greetings, Crown Prince's Consort."

Shang Tingli smiled faintly and looked at Yu Lingling without saying a word.

Yu Lingling then reluctantly bowed: "Meet the Crown Prince's Consort."

Shang Tingli laughed: "Oh my, why are you so polite?"

Everyone: “…” This is hindsight, right?

Why did you remain silent when Prince In put pressure on you just now?

"Why don't you come with me to the back garden? There are tea, snacks, and other interesting things prepared there. Take a look--"

The person who came up to Ke Xin and spoke was the man who had led the way in bowing to Shang Tingli just now.

He was more than seven feet tall, wearing a copper-green round-collared brocade robe, with a fair face and a handsome appearance. He had a bit of the demeanor of a scholar, but he lost his manner as soon as he opened his mouth.

Shang Tingli glanced at him when he heard the voice.

This is Yu Rongbao, the eldest son of the Marquis’ Mansion, Pan Yaying’s eldest son. He is both the legitimate heir and the eldest son. Yu Jingyi has requested that he be made the Crown Prince.

She didn't have much contact with this cousin. Apart from seeing him during festivals, they had never communicated with each other. However, she knew what kind of person he was. He looked talented and handsome, but he was not very knowledgeable and had high expectations.

If Pan Yaying hadn't planned for him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince.

Ke Xin said nothing.

Yu Rongbao's face was almost frozen with laughter, but he still didn't get a glance from Ke Xin. He was helpless and had lost his temper, so he could only wink at Shang Tingli for help.

Shang Tingli pretended not to see it.

Yu Rongbao was extremely angry and helpless. His anger towards Shang Tingli was rising, but he had no place to vent his anger. He had to settle for the next best thing and glanced at Yu Lingling.

Yu Lingling understood, and this time she didn't directly grab Shang Tingli's hand. She cautiously called out, "Tingli..."

Shang Tingli tilted his head and blinked at her.

Yu Lingling smiled and changed her words: "Crown Princess."

Shang Tingli also smiled and said, "Cousin Lingling, please speak frankly."

Yu Lingling no longer hesitated: "Princess, why don't you invite the prince to move to the back garden? It would be nice for us sisters to get together and chat." She turned around and asked the sisters: "What do you think?"

The girls all echoed in unison: "Yes, yes."

Shang Tingli just found it funny.

Seeing that the prince didn't say anything, he used roundabout tactics on himself. He didn't think he had the ability to shake the prince's thoughts and actions.

Besides, she didn't like chatting with them. They would always compare themselves with each other or make fun of someone. She didn't like to join in the fun, she just thought it was boring and meaningless.

Shang Tingli refused directly: "No need, we have had many gatherings in the past, and I guess cousin Lingling and the other cousins ​​are not that clingy."

"..."

Yu Lingling bit her lower lip, then winked at Yu Rongbao and threw the matter back to him.

Yu Rongbao glanced at Shang Tingli with a gloomy look, then turned around and smiled to curry favor with Ke Xin: "Prince..."

Ke Xin finally got tired of playing with the golden bell and was willing to give the man in front of him a look. He lifted his eyelids and slightly raised his chin, saying calmly: "The Crown Prince's Concubine said she won't go, so then she won't go. Anything else?"

“…Gone, gone.” Yu Rongbao was so shocked that he almost lost his tongue and could hardly utter a word.

He glanced at Shang Tingli strangely and thought to himself, this damn girl is so lucky that even Prince Ren obeys her.

Ke Xin raised his chin disdainfully and said nothing.

“……”They understood that this was asking them to get out.

At this moment, a maidservant called out from outside the courtyard gate: "Master, the wife of the Master invites you to Baode Courtyard."

Although there are two princes in the courtyard, this is "Prince" and "Prince's Wife", no one would think that the "Prince" the maid was calling was Ke Xin.

Yu Rongbao took the opportunity to say goodbye and left without looking back.

The young masters also took the opportunity to leave.

Only Yu Lingling and the other girls were unwilling to give up. They wanted to say something else, but before they could think of a good reason, they heard that indifferent voice: "Why don't you leave? Do you want to experience the feeling of being asked to leave?"

This "please" is not a polite one.

Yu Lingling's heart trembled: "I, I'll go check on elder sister and not disturb the Crown Prince and Crown Princess." She bowed, turned around and trotted away, her steps hurried as if there was a terrifying mad dog chasing her from behind.

As soon as she left, the others followed suit, not daring to stay long.

Shang Tingli looked at their backs and shook his head.

She hid back in her own yard because she didn't want to play along with them, but they still stuck to her like a dog-skin plaster.

Shang Tingli looked at Ke Xin and said, "Thank you for your advice today, Your Highness."

If he hadn't said anything, she would have had to spend more time talking to Yu Lingling, and it wouldn't have been so easy.

Ke Xin curved his lips and said, "It's just a piece of cake."

After a pause, Shang Tingli asked, "Why would the prince say that? After all, considering family ties, it's understandable that they did that."

She held her chin in her hand and looked at him curiously.

[I didn't realize you were such a good person. Why would you speak up for me for no reason? ]

Ke Xin's eyes fixed, he glanced at her, and said coldly: "You are my Crown Prince's Consort now. You are my face when you go out. How can outsiders look down on you? Looking down on you and disrespecting you is equivalent to looking down on me. Of course, I cannot tolerate it."

Shang Tingli let out a sigh of relief, feeling a lot more relieved, "So that's how it is."

[That’s what I said. How could it be that because I’m prettier than Yu Lanxi and I’m well-behaved, sensible and obedient, the stupid prince felt pity for me?]

"..."

Ke Xin had a subtle expression, and said in his heart: You are beautiful? What you think is beautiful.

He sneered, "Next time something like this happens, don't be so timid and lose face for me. Show the aura of a prince's consort, just like you did at the palace gate yesterday, understand?"

[Who is so timid and useless! You are the one who rushed to express your opinion and snatched away my right to speak! I haven't said anything to you yet, but you didn't even give me the chance to take advantage of others. ]

Shang Tingli was yelling in her heart, but her face was very soft and obedient: "Understood, I will definitely not let the prince embarrass me next time."

"..."

Ke Xin frowned, leaned his elbows on the table, and moved his head towards her. When he was a certain distance away, he stopped and looked at her expression with confused eyes.

How can someone act so smoothly and without any flaws?

Shang Tingli blinked in confusion: "Prince?"

Ke Xin stepped back and said "hmm" coldly.
