Wenhui hated the Yizhong Marquis's mansion for asking the Queen Mother to swap marriages, which made their palace a laughing stock. She was also angry at the cousin of the Yizhong Marquis's mansion who was married in, and was a little angry.

But when she heard her daughter-in-law's voice, she couldn't help but feel pity for her.

Everything was the fault of the Yizhong Marquis's Mansion and the Queen Mother. What was wrong with her son's daughter-in-law? Her daughter-in-law was just a poor little one in the middle.

If it weren't for the incident at the Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion, who would have thought that the daughter of a noble family would marry a sixth-rank guard?

Now, the young lady from the Marquis's Mansion has gone mad for some reason. She has abandoned her son and picked up a sixth-rank guard. She wants to see what happens to her!

Wen Hui suppressed her thoughts and lovingly helped Shang Tingli up, "Okay, everyone come and meet the Crown Prince's Consort."

In the room, only the prince and princess are the legitimate elders of the crown prince. They are still polite and do not need to serve tea to others. They just wait for everyone to come forward and recognize their faces.

Ke Xin and Shang Tingli sat in the empty seat below Wen Hui.

The first person to stand up from the crowd and recognize people was a wealthy and beautiful girl wearing a cardamom purple square-collared robe and a cream-colored horse-faced skirt.

About the age of marriage.

“Ling Yun has met sister-in-law.”

"Princess." Shang Tingli stood up and returned a half-bow.

[This is Princess Lingyun. ]

The only princess of Prince Ren's Mansion, the legitimate daughter of the princess, the legitimate sister of Prince Ren's son, Princess Lingyun Ke Yishang.

It's not like she had not seen this princess before at the few banquets she was able to attend with Yu Lanxi, but she only saw her from afar each time and only knew that she must be a beauty.

I don’t know what his appearance is.

Ke Yishang had previously thought that she was hallucinating, but it was not until this moment that she was completely sure that she had really heard the voice of her new sister-in-law.

So he pricked up his ears.

I must listen carefully to my sister-in-law's first impression of her.

[Princess Lingyun was so beautiful, it was too pitiful for her to be forced to marry into the Northern Barbarians. ]

Ke Yishang stood there in a daze. Marriage?

There were three princesses of marriageable age in the palace. Not to mention Princess Ruyu who had already been engaged, there were still two princesses who had not yet been engaged. How come it was her turn to marry?

Moreover, among the three kingdoms, the strongest one is Tianzhao. Even if they want to marry, it should be the Northern Barbarians and the Southern Yue who should send their princesses to Tianzhao.

I don’t know how my sister-in-law got the news, but this must be fake, right?

[Originally the strongest became the weakest, and the Fourth Prince really deserves credit for this. If he hadn't signed an agreement with the Northern Barbarians in private, and the generals sent by the Emperor to guard the border were his men, and they had fought a defeat with the help of both the inside and the outside, how could there have been such a humiliating and ridiculous marriage? ]

The people who could hear Shang Tingli's inner voice were shocked, and the huge shock in their hearts was like thunder, which made them stand still in place. The next moment, they were panicked and afraid.

They can hear this voice, but what about others?

After carefully observing the expressions of everyone in the room, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were the only ones who could hear the Crown Prince's Consort's thoughts.

[Before the marriage, the Fourth Prince promised Princess Kangping to someone else. As a result, the marriage naturally fell on Princess Baozhen. Princess Baozhen had made preparations for the marriage, but she didn't expect that the Fourth Prince would meet with the Emperor behind his back and instigate the Emperor to choose Princess Lingyun for the marriage.]

[After that, Princess Lingyun went to the Northern Barbarians to marry Princess Lingyun. Unexpectedly, Princess Lingyun died tragically on the way to the marriage. Bandits appeared on the way to the marriage, and Princess Lingyun died at the hands of the bandits.]

[Haha, it's just a superficial statement. The truth is that the Fourth Prince teamed up with the Northern Barbarians to do this, and Princess Lingyun was tortured to death by them! ]

Ke Yishang's eyelashes trembled and she felt cold all over, as if she was in an ice cellar, the chill penetrating into her bones.

Ke Xin secretly clenched his fists, his heart burning with anger, and cursed the Fourth Prince as a bastard.

He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, treating soldiers and civilians as ants and not caring about the lives of his people at all. How can such a heartless person deserve the worship and love of thousands of people?

Shang Tingli didn't know that her thoughts were heard by others, so she glanced at Fang Zhi behind her. Fang Zhi understood and handed the thing in her hand to her.

Shang Tingli took the gift and handed it to Ke Yishang, smiling gently: "This is a little gift from my sister-in-law, I hope the princess won't dislike it."

Ke Yishang didn't answer and seemed to be in a daze.

Shang Tingli blinked and called out again, "Princess?"

"Ah?" Ke Yishang finally came back to her senses. Although she didn't show it on her face, her mood was affected.

If she hadn't put on lip balm today, everyone would have been able to see that she looked unhappy.

Shang Tingli smiled at her and repeated what he had said before.

"If you don't mind, I will accept your kindness."

This time, Ke Yishang took the gift from her with both hands and smiled shyly, "If sister-in-law is willing, you can call me Lingyun or Yishang."

"Okay." Shang Tingli agreed with a smile.

Ke Yishang had something hidden in her mind, she smiled back and sat back in her seat.

"Xiaowu has met sister-in-law."

A little boy with a round head and wearing a small red round-collared robe stood up. He looked no more than ten years old and was very cute.

Ke Yi was full of curiosity about his sister-in-law, his round eyes were filled with novelty.

Facing such an innocent pair of eyes, Shang Tingli gave him a set of four treasures of the study.

"...Thank you, sister-in-law." Ke Yi accepted the gift with a sad face.

[So this is what the short-lived younger brother of the Crown Prince looked like. ]

Upon hearing this, Ke Xin and Wen Hui, mother and daughter, looked at Ke Yi together.

Short-lived ghost?

Ke Yi was still a half-grown child after all, and when he heard that he might die early, he panicked. He glanced at Shang Tingli and wanted his sister-in-law to stop talking so scary.

Although he was young, he still understood some things. For example, he could hear his sister-in-law's thoughts for no reason, so he must never tell others about it.

But the teachers in the academy often said that he was good at running and jumping, and his energy in climbing up the roof and tearing off the tiles was enough to "leave him in disgrace for eternity". How could such a healthy man be a short-lived ghost?

Haha, it must be my sister-in-law who made a mistake, right?

Ke Yi held the gift from his sister-in-law and returned to his seat pretending to be calm.

Shang Tingli looked at the young boy's back, which was not as straight as before, and frowned slightly.

[I only know that this guy took advantage of the busy Prince's wedding these days to secretly get involved in gambling, and I don't know how serious his gambling addiction is. I'm afraid I have to find a time to check it out, otherwise I won't be able to get it back. ]

Addicted to gambling?

When he was almost at his seat, Ke Yi slipped and stumbled, almost falling. He made quite a commotion, and everyone in the room looked over at him.

In public, Ke Yi blushed: "I like the gift my sister-in-law gave me very much. I can't help but get a little excited..."
