Ke Xin's forehead was throbbing, and he couldn't bear to look at it. In fact, from a long time ago, as early as when he first met her, he already knew that his prince's wife was a person with a very dramatic heart, and she could always think of many scenes.

But he had to admit that he felt that the prince would never allow the things she was thinking to happen.

Ke Xin sighed silently, picked up a bite of food for her, and advised: "Tonight's palace banquet is just a banquet set up to welcome the envoys. You should eat a few bites and drink the medicine later. If you get better quickly, you may be able to watch the excitement."

Shang Tingli suddenly stared at him carefully.

Ke Xin subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hiss, there's something wrong with you." Shang Tingli said. She always felt that Ke Xingchen was a little weird at the moment, but she couldn't tell what was weird.

Ke Xin paused, as if his heart had skipped a beat. He lowered his head to pick up some food, pretending not to look at her, but his peripheral vision was focused on her. He asked in a calm tone, "What's wrong?"

Shang Tingli shook his head.

Ke Xinfang breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard her laugh. He was a little surprised: "What are you laughing at?"

Shang Tingli still smiled and said, "I don't know why, but I thought... I almost misunderstood that the prince did it for me..." At this point, perhaps because he felt that he was too confident and felt a little embarrassed, he chuckled twice.

After she finished speaking, there was no sound for a long time. This scene made her feel even more out of place.

[Oh my god, who is Ke Xingchen? How dare I think that! This person has never been able to see others with his eyes, let alone live in his heart. Looking at Yu Lanxi in her previous life, I am afraid that she never received a single glance from Ke Xingchen until her death...]

[I really dare to think! ]

[…You can’t blame me for this, after all, this is really misleading. Is it a question of whether to go or not? It’s a bit too bold for a prince to dare not attend a banquet hosted by a superior.]

[Really, don't blame me for thinking too much. This Ke Xingchen is either rebelling or has feelings for me. Based on my understanding of past and present lives, the former is impossible. But right now, the latter is also impossible.]

[Huh, it's a good thing I didn't think too much, otherwise how would I face this in the future? It's more comfortable to get along like this for now. ]

Shang Tingli thought a lot in his heart, and finally heard Ke Xin's voice in his ears. He only heard that extremely familiar voice with a hint of contempt and ridicule: "You think too much."

Ke Xin said: "There is no room for misunderstanding."

Shang Tingli nodded with an understanding look on his face, and said in his heart, "As expected," but he did not notice that the tips of the ears of the person opposite him were red, nor did he notice that his lips were tightly pursed after he finished speaking.

Ke Xin didn't want to be so harsh, but he couldn't ignore her voice. To him, those words were all heart-wrenching and it was hard to calm down. He felt embarrassed that his thoughts were almost exposed, and he also felt an indescribable sense of loss. It was really tormenting.

During this dinner, neither of them spoke. Ke Xin just ate his own food. Maybe he was eating so happily that Shang Tingli also ate some, so that he wouldn't be unable to eat a single bite.

After dinner, Shang Tingli drank the medicine and went to wash up and prepare to rest.

Ke Xin was feeling very depressed, so he went to the study, where he was alone, feeling depressed and unknown to others.

When he went to pay his respects to Wenhui the next day, Shang Tingli finally knew what had happened at the palace banquet. It was indeed as Ke Xin said, it was just a simple dinner and a little boring.

Shang Tingli just smiled after hearing this, and then changed the subject and asked, "Mother, did the Emperor's uncle not blame me?"

Wen Hui smiled and shook her head: "The emperor is not such a petty person. You are ill, the emperor will not be so unkind."

Shang Tingli put on a relieved expression: "That's good."

Wen Hui nodded, looked towards the door, and said, "Hey." Shang Tingli glanced at her, then followed her gaze towards the door, "What's wrong?"

"Did Xingchen go out again?" Wenhui frowned.

Shang Tingli said, "Yes, he went out."

Wen Hui couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand: "He runs out every day. I don't know what attracts him outside! It's fine if he has to attend the morning court on weekdays, but why did he run out again today?"

Because of the envoys from the northern barbarians, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty cancelled the morning court. In the past few days, there was no need to attend the morning court, but if Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty needed them, they had to attend at any time.

Wen Hui sometimes always felt very disappointed. She thought from the bottom of her heart that these few days were such a good opportunity to spend time with him. If she didn't spend more time with him and get to know him better, who would be willing to confide in him? What a useless son. She hoped that Ke Yi wouldn't need her, as a mother, to worry about him in the future.

Shang Tingli didn't understand why Wenhui was so angry, "Maybe she was called by the emperor's uncle to accompany the envoy?"

Wenhui shook her head firmly.

Shang Tingli nodded and changed the subject again.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about other things for a long time. At noon, when they were preparing to have lunch, Ke Yishang came in a hurry. The news she brought shocked both of them.

Shang Tingli couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ling Yun was not joking?"

Wen Hui couldn't help but confirm with Ke Yishang: "Are you telling the truth?"

Ke Yishang nodded heavily, "I'm not joking, this is all true."

Shang Tingli and Wenhui looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.

[So whose mansion should Princess Qingqing enter now? ]

Ke Yishang and Wenhui looked at each other and expressed their curiosity about the result, but unfortunately no news had been received yet.

Princess Qingqing was the princess sent by the Northern Barbarians to marry into the royal family.

Today, Emperor Mingwu ordered several princes and ministers to lead the Northern Barbarian envoys to visit the Imperial Garden. It was the bright July, and the lotus in the lotus pond was still in full bloom, so a minister suggested enjoying the beautiful scenery. When they arrived at the pavilion by the lotus pond, someone else suggested a fight. The Northern Barbarians always loved fighting, and were best at close combat, so they were naturally happy to do so.

The result was a competition of Qinggong. It was not to say that the Northern Barbarians were not good at Qinggong, but they were not top-notch. However, the Northern Barbarians were a defeated nation, so they had no choice but to agree.

The competition is to use Qinggong to go back and forth from the pavilion to the other side, with only the toes allowed to touch objects when reaching the other side. The goal is to see who can complete the task easily without using any force, and who has the fastest speed.

The lotus pond was not very big, and the distance from the pavilion to the other side was only thirty feet, so this competition was really just a competition.

However, something no one expected happened. Because there were several people competing together, they were divided into several groups. The Crown Prince, King Xuan, King Zhou and Princess Qingqing must have been in the same group. Originally, the few people flew over and completed it smoothly, but Princess Qingqing accidentally fell into the lotus pond when she came back.

The shocking scene was that King Xuan Ke Rui and King Zhou Ke Ming reacted almost at the same time and returned to Princess Qingqing together. The result was predictable - both of them grabbed one of Princess Qingqing's arms, and in full view of everyone, both of them hugged Princess Qingqing almost at the same time.

This is bad, who should Princess Qingqing marry? It's impossible for a woman to serve two husbands, right?

Ke Yishang was informed of the news by Princess Baozhen in the palace. Because of this incident, everyone dispersed without having a good look around the Imperial Garden, waiting for Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty's order.

I guess Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty must be worried as he hasn't announced his decree for such a long time.

[Hehe, anyway, Princess Qingqing will never be able to enter the Eastern Palace again, so there is no need to worry about her sister~]

Shang Tingli had a good appetite today and ate half a bowl of rice more.

By the time the sun set, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty's decree finally came down.

……

"Crackling——"

"boom--"

Someone overturned something on the desk, making a mess on the floor.

Ke Ming placed his fists on his thighs, his eyes terribly cold, staring at Ji Ying and saying sternly, "Are you saying that Father has issued an order to go to Prince Xuan's mansion?"

Jiying lowered his head and clasped his fists, saying, "Yes, sir, I saw it with my own eyes, and... heard Eunuch Liu announce the decree that Princess Qingqing was appointed as the concubine of King Xuan."

Ke Ming sneered sinisterly: "What a concubine of Prince Xuan——"

"Okay, very good!"

Jiying lowered his head and dared not say a word.

……

Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Ke Rui waved his hand, his face glowing with joy as he said, "Today, I heard of a great event in the palace. Go and tell everyone that I will reward you!"

He sent his trusted aides out to distribute the rewards, while he himself was laughing non-stop. When he thought that he would eventually marry Princess Qingqing and would need the help of the Northern Barbarians in the future, he could not stop laughing.

"Humph, Old Four is not as good as me after all, hahahaha——"

……

Fengting Tower, private room on the second floor.

The sound of the piano is melodious, the fragrance of tea is lingering, and the crisp sounds of chess pieces falling on the board alternate one by one.

"Do you feel regretful or sorry?" The woman's voice was as cold and clear as she was, and she was extremely graceful while sitting upright.

Ke Yu's gentle gaze fell on her face, and he chuckled dotingly: "What's the pity? What's the pity? Princess, I remember what I said, and I have made it clear to you more than once, that I will be the strongest one in power, and I don't need to fill the harem to consolidate my power."

Even though she had heard the same thing many times, He Zhiqian still couldn't help blushing: "It sounds good now, but who can guarantee that it will remain the same in the future?"

Ke Yu sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can't be consistent."

He Zhiqi was stunned for a moment, then his expression gradually returned to normal. He tightened his grip on the chess piece unconsciously, "What do you mean?"

Ke Yu suddenly leaned forward to get closer to her, stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "Silly, of course I will treat you better and better, is it enough to be consistent?"

He Zhiqi always felt a little itchy where he scratched, and couldn't help but touch his nose with his hand, and retorted with a smile: "I'm smart, you're stupid."

Ke Yu nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, our Ah Wan is the smartest."

He Zhiqi's eyes were sore and he almost shed tears. He snorted softly.

Ke Yu stood up and walked to her side and sat down, holding her in his arms, and said softly but seriously: "I, Ke Yu, promise you, Xie Wanshu, that you will always be the only one."

He Zhiqiang's tears really welled up in his eyes this time, his heart was pounding, and he was palpitating for the person in front of him.

The person he called was not He Zhiqiang, even though she had become He Zhiqiang, he was calling her Xie Wanshu.
