Shang Tingli was quite satisfied and deliberately pointed out: "My status is no longer the same as before, I hope that cousin Lan Xi will remember it in the future."

Yu Lanxi sneered in her heart. She had been calling her "Mrs. Ji" all the time just now, but now she's called her "cousin"?

But, cousin...

Yu Lanxi came up with a plan, swallowed the humiliation, and smiled at Ke Xin: "My Lord, since my cousin has married you, you should call me cousin?"

Shang Tingli widened his eyes slightly.

In my heart, I admire her courage. A wife of a sixth-rank guard dares to let the prince of the prince's mansion respect her as his cousin. It's really a great face.

Ji Zhang frowned slightly when no one was paying attention.

"Oh? Really?" the young man asked casually, seeming to be considering it.

"Of course."

There was a hint of smugness in Yu Lanxi's smile, as if she had seen this arrogant man who had never looked her in the eye in his previous life bowing his head and compromising with her.

But before she could get too excited, she heard that cold voice again: "This prince is a relative of the royal family, are you too?"

Ke Xin looked down at Yu Lanxi with disdain, and with a slight curl of his lips, he said arrogantly, "Are you worthy of this?"

Yu Lanxi's face turned pale and she was about to fall. If Ji Zhang hadn't reached out to support her, she would have fallen to the ground the next moment.

She... doesn't deserve it?

He actually openly belittled her to this extent!

He really deserves to be torn to pieces!

She won't keep me company in this life.

"This is the rule for the eldest lady of the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion."

After saying this, Ke Xin no longer looked at Yu Lanxi. He put his arm around Shang Tingli's shoulder and led his men into the palace.

A eunuch was already waiting with a double sedan chair. The two men sat on it and set off for Shouning Palace.

This is a special honor for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prince Ren's Palace. No one else has this blessing.

The palace gate is far away from Shouning Palace, and people who are not "lucky" have to walk there by themselves.

Shang Tingli turned around and waved at Yu Lanxi with a smile, then gently opened his lips and said silently, "Thank you, cousin Lanxi."

Yu Lanxi was almost angry to death, but she could only stamp her feet helplessly. She was very unwilling in her heart. She pulled Ji Zhang's sleeve and said with gritted teeth: "Husband, look at her villain's smug look, you have to fight for me in the future!"

Ji Zhang nodded repeatedly.

Shang Tingli sat beside Ke Xin and smiled secretly.

[What does it matter if some people live one more life? It doesn't necessarily mean that their brains will grow two pounds of flesh. In this regard, God is not too partial. ]

It turns out that rebirth does not make stupid people smart.

Ke Xin seemed to be thinking about something.

When they arrived at Shouning Palace, the empress dowager did not come out to meet them.

Only the old nanny beside the empress dowager led the four people to a side hall and served them tea. Then she distributed the gifts given by the empress dowager one by one and sent them out of Shouning Palace.

When leaving the palace, Shang Tingli and Ke Xin still sat on the sedan chair.

Shang Tingli recalled things from his past life.

The current empress dowager is not the emperor’s biological mother. The emperor’s biological mother is the late Empress Dowager Cixi who was posthumously honored.

The previous emperor passed away very early, and the empress dowager only had one daughter, the eldest princess, and no son to raise, so she wanted to promote her mother's family. She hoped that the emperor would marry her niece Pan and support the Pan family, but was rejected by the emperor. The empress dowager did not give up, and made small moves behind the scenes to force the emperor to promote the Pan family.

Therefore, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor was not cordial but rather cold and stiff.

But the empress dowager's death had nothing to do with the emperor. She died of old age and illness.

[The Queen Mother was now unable to see the wind, and after a few days she could not even get out of bed. Within a month, news of her death spread, and the whole country went to mourn.]

Ke Xin was stunned when he heard the news. The Queen Mother only has less than a month to live?

Not only Shang Tingli was thinking about this, Yu Lanxi was also thinking about it.

This great aunt passed away so early. She didn't benefit from her power at all in her previous life and suffered a lot.

The only role that the so-called great-aunt played for her was probably that in this life she fulfilled her mother's request and arranged a new marriage for her.

Yu Lanxi shook her head.

……

In the early summer, the crystal curtains flutter in the breeze, and the rose bushes fill the whole yard with fragrance.

Serving tea to the bride is a big event, and everyone in the mansion gathered in the hall, waiting for the Crown Prince to bring the Crown Princess over to introduce her.

After returning from the palace, Shang Tingli followed Ke Xin into the main hall. When he saw the room full of people, his brows jumped.

【There are so many people. 】

Ke Xin: “…”

Ke Yi: “?”

Ke Yishang: “?”

Princess Ren: "?"

Who is speaking?

When the three of them pricked up their ears and listened carefully, there was no sound. Looking at the people in the room, they didn't see anyone talking. At this point, the three of them just thought they were hallucinating.

Sitting at the top were a handsome middle-aged man and a demure and dignified lady; they were Prince Hitoshi and the Princess.

Ke Xin knelt on the cushion in front of Prince Ren, and Shang Tingli knelt on the cushion on his right side in front of Prince Ren's wife.

"My son pays his respects to his father and mother."

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to the father and mother."

Seeing this, the two maids who were waiting to serve tea stepped forward, waited for the newlyweds to take the teacups, and then retreated.

The two of them served tea to Prince Hitoshi and the Princess respectively.

"Father, please have some tea. Mother, please have some tea."

"Father, please have some tea. Mother, please have some tea."

Prince Ren, Ke Youwei, had a stern face. He drank the bride's tea and gave her a gift, which was a bulging red envelope.

Although he disliked his daughter-in-law, he did not embarrass her in public.

"Thank you, father."

Shang Tingli obediently took the red envelope, held it in his hand and secretly squeezed it, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

[I didn't expect this prince to be such a real person. The red envelope is quite thick. Red envelopes are good. I like money the most. Who knows the pleasure of holding money in your hands? ]

Ke Xin couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, thinking that he had married a money-grubber.

Hearing the voice that she had thought was an illusion before, Princess Fumihito paused as she took out the gift. Is it too late to prepare a new red envelope now?

[I wonder what the princess's meeting gift will be? I'm really looking forward to it. ]

Feeling a well-behaved and expectant gaze falling on her, Wenhui laughed and appeared kind and loving. She smiled and took Shang Tingli's hand and put a red jade bracelet on her wrist.

There was a red jade bracelet on the beauty's snow-white wrist, which looked like a blooming winter plum blossom, exceptionally beautiful.

Wenhui nodded to herself with satisfaction. It turned out that the finely crafted beauty bracelet was most suitable for the pretty bride.

[What a beautiful bracelet! Look at the red jade and the exquisite workmanship. I have never touched a jade bracelet of this quality in the Marquis' Mansion before.]

Shang Tingli touched the new bracelet on her wrist, her clear eyes reflecting joy. She really liked this gift from the princess.

When Wenhui saw her like this, she felt a little sad.
