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

On April 15th, the sky was clear and the air was fresh.

The palace was hosting a dinner party, but all the officials had prepared early and brought their families to the palace early. However, by noon, the palace gate was already crowded.

This time, Shang Tingli did not ride in the same carriage with Wenhui and the others, but entered the palace with Ke Xin.

Today's dinner was nothing more than a celebration banquet specially held by Emperor Mingwu for the soldiers who went on the expedition to Shabei. Someone like Ke Xin, who was promoted to the third-rank General of Anbei, must have a separate table. Therefore, Shang Tingli, as Ke Xin's princess, naturally had to sit together. It would be somewhat inappropriate to sit together with Wenhui and the others.

The venue of the dinner was set at Zhaoyang Palace. Empress Xu had already given instructions, and now a palace servant was leading everyone to the Imperial Garden. There was still some time before the dinner started, so Empress Xu ordered people to bring up some fruit and vegetable snacks so that everyone could fill their stomachs.

During the break, many people came up to Ke Xin with their wives to congratulate him. Shang Tingli also joined in to deal with so many people that in the end he felt like his face was about to become stiff from smiling.

She was impressed.

[It’s too early to be happy. Why do I feel that attending a palace banquet is more tiring than hosting one myself? ]

Ke Xin couldn't help but hold back his laughter.

He couldn't help thinking, this is just the beginning, she can't stand it, what will happen in the future? Of course, if she is not willing to deal with this, he can... But it's too early to think about this now.

Seeing that more and more people came to say hello, Ke Xin looked at Shang Tingli's expression, which was almost stiff from laughing, and paused. He clenched his fist and put it to his lips and said, "If you don't like dealing with these things, you don't have to pay attention to them. They are just some flattering words. Don't pay any attention to them."

Shang Tingli turned around and looked at him, blurting out, "But you are just starting your career now. If you are so arrogant, you will inevitably attract criticism."

After he finished speaking, Ke Xin was stunned, and she was also stunned.

Ke Xin laughed and said, "So what? I was idle in the past, and I am so famous today. I am afraid that in their eyes, I am not as useful as a 'Prince Ren's son'. Maybe they will criticize me secretly. Whether they really come to congratulate me, only they know it in their hearts."

He comforted her with a bright smile: "If one moves up in order to make others suffer, then it is totally unnecessary. If I fly higher, you just need to do things according to your own ideas."

Shang Tingli was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. Perhaps he was speechless for a moment, and just stared at him blankly.

This person was clearly smiling, but for no reason he gave people a strange feeling, as if he had just laughed unintentionally.

Being stared at by such a pair of clear eyes, Ke Xin felt his heart beating so fast, as if it was out of control and about to jump out of his chest. He thought that what he said was very explicit, and she should be able to see his intention.

Thinking of this, Ke Xin's ears quickly heated up and turned incredibly red. He unconsciously raised his hands to cover his ears, trying to hide his thoughts.

Shang Tingli said, "I understand."

pounding——

Ke Xin opened his eyes in surprise: "You - know?" She knew what he was thinking?

Shang Tingli smiled and nodded.

Ke Xin's face turned red in an instant, and even his neck turned red, but he heard -

"Your Highness is right. If everyone wants to see me, I will have to meet them one by one. Wouldn't that be exhausting?" Shang Tingli said, "I always have to pay attention to the etiquette of the world. Naturally, I will be close to whoever I am close to."

Ke Xin: “…”

Okay, okay, that's what she said, she knew.

Ke Xin immediately woke up and his complexion returned to normal, as if it was just an illusion.

【It is different after all. 】

Ke Xin looked over and saw Shang Tingli had lowered his head. A few people were hesitant to come forward, but Ke Xin waved at them and they dispersed.

It had been a long time since he heard her voice, and Ke Xin was not anxious, just waiting quietly by the side.

Shang Tingli couldn't help but think of his past life. Ji Zhang and Ke Xin had different backgrounds, so naturally they took different paths. Even though they both chose to become military generals, there were always some things that were incomparable.

In her previous life, Ji Zhang climbed up step by step from the bottom. She didn't know how many people she had to deal with like today, and how many things she had done behind the scenes for Ji Zhang. Even today, she subconsciously felt that if she wanted to move up, she would have to do these interpersonal relationships.

She had never thought that she was now the Crown Princess of Prince Ren, and her husband was the Crown Prince of Prince Ren. Even if General Anbei's reputation was not as high as others, he should not be the one to bow his head and fawn on him, let alone she had to smile to maintain it.

As for other people's comments? Most of them are just the words of villains behind their backs. How many people dare to gossip in front of them? There is no need to care about it.

Shang Tingli laughed softly.

【so good. 】

Ke Xin's ears twitched, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

"Meet the Crown Prince, meet the Crown Princess."

Two voices, a man and a woman, spoke in unison behind them. Shang Tingli and Ke Xin turned around and saw the people coming. Shang Tingli curled the corner of his mouth.

It was Yu Lanxi and Ji Zhang.

Shang Tingli's playful gaze fell on the couple opposite him, "What's going on with Madam Ji and General Ji?"

Ke Xin didn't say anything, but his expression was exactly the same as Shang Tingli's.

Ji Zhang bowed and said, "I have not come to congratulate the Crown Prince yet. Congratulations to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Shang Tingli and Ke Xin looked at each other.

Yu Lanxi repeated what Ji Zhang said, and then said, "I wonder if I, your cousin, can have a word with the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Shang Tingli smiled: "Of course."

Yu Lanxi also smiled and said, "Then please move?"

Shang Tingli took the lead, and Yu Lanxi followed, and the two found a deserted place.

"I wonder what shameful words Madam Ji wants to say to me?" Shang Tingli asked straight to the point.

Yu Lanxi choked: "What shameful words?"

Shang Tingli said with a smile: "Since others cannot listen, it must be something shameful."

Yu Lanxi glared, but did not refute. Instead, she said, "I won't say any more nonsense to you. You and I are cousins, and it was me who gave the marriage arrangement of Prince Ren's Mansion to you. You have already taken advantage of everything..."

"Pfft."

Yu Lanxi asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Shang Tingli covered his mouth with his handkerchief, smiling: "Go on."

Yu Lanxi rolled her eyes and continued, "Now that your prince has taken away someone else's military merit, should he return it?"

Shang Tingli stopped laughing and asked calmly, "Did you steal someone else's military merit?"
