"If it weren't for the fact that Song Wanning had the entire General's Mansion and the Prime Minister behind her, I wouldn't care who she was. I would definitely avenge Xiangyu immediately." Concubine Xian now felt a headache and spoke slowly, "Last time Xiangyu wanted to send a concubine to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but who knew that the Prime Minister would actually trick Xiangyu. With such a vengeful temper, if Song Wanning suffered a loss in our territory, who knows what kind of trouble the Prime Minister would cause."

"Mother, don't you understand the twists and turns in the court? The Prime Minister is our enemy now, and we will definitely deal with him in the future. Although we are not yet fully developed, it is a good idea to test the Prime Minister's strength first." Xie Ke listened to Concubine Xian's words and responded calmly, "Although the General's Mansion behind Song Wanning has power in the court, it can't surpass us. Song Wanning is nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing that Prince An was acting on impulse, Concubine Xian said unhappily, "Good child, think about it carefully now. The Prime Minister's power in the capital is not limited to what we have now. In this case, it is important to win over the court officials. We should take a long-term view on how to deal with Song Wanning. Now we just need to give her a few warnings."

"Now that Song Wanning is the prime minister's wife, I'm afraid she has made many enemies in the capital. We don't need to do anything to make her fail." Xie Ke has always been a thoughtful person. He smiled and said, "The prime minister is arrogant in the court. I'm afraid there are many people who want to bring him bad luck. People outside want to use us to deal with Song Wanning because of our high status. Then we can also use people outside to deal with her."

Princess Xiangyu immediately thought Xie Ke's words were feasible, and she stood beside Xie Ke and laughed, "I knew my brother was the best to me. Now I have become the laughing stock of the entire capital. If Song Wanning hadn't been unlucky, I'm afraid I would never be able to turn over in this life."

Xie Ke narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, then said in a calm voice, "Didn't Madam Xu come to the palace to instigate my sister? I can talk to her good husband about it. Don't bother my sister if you have nothing to do. If you have any problem, just go and deal with Yin Yichen."

Xie Ke said, and raised his head to glance at Princess Xiangyu, "Let's not talk about anything else, today's plan must proceed as usual."

Princess Xiangyu responded and said slowly, "Today is just to teach Song Wanning a lesson, which can be regarded as a small punishment for a big warning."

Now, Song Wanning and Liu Yuyuan were standing outside and talking in front of the peony flowers. Liu Yuyuan looked at Song Wanning and said calmly, "Before you married the Prime Minister, his reputation was not very good. Not long after you got married, some people started to speak for the Prime Minister. It was not like this before. It seems that you are a lucky star."

"My reputation is not very good either. It's just right for a second-married woman to marry a prime minister with a sharp tongue." Song Wanning smiled softly as she stood beside Liu Yuyuan. "Both of us have bad reputations. I didn't expect that my reputation would be better now."

"But now that the Prime Minister is in the capital, he has received a lot of criticism and has made many enemies." Liu Yuyuan was genuinely worried about Song Wanning. "You must be careful in your daily life and don't fall into other people's traps."

"I know what's going on." Song Wanning looked down at her toes and said slowly, "Now that I'm married to the Prime Minister, I know what I'm going to face in the future."

The two were whispering to each other. Wu Junrou and Madam Xu, who were standing opposite Song Wanning, wished they could stab Song Wanning to death with their eyes.

Wu Junrou clenched her handkerchief into a ball, glanced at Madam Xu beside her, and asked softly, "I wonder if Princess Xiangyu will teach Song Wanning a lesson now. If she doesn't, I'm afraid we can't do anything to her for a while. Now the master of the family is bewitched by that vixen and doesn't care about the affairs of the mansion. It gives me a headache. Now that I have entered the palace, I still have to endure such humiliation. I really can't accept it."

Seeing Wu Junrou like this, Madam Xu immediately comforted her, "Don't worry, I have heard the princess's plan. Now that Song Wanning has entered the palace, she will definitely fall into the princess's trap. Let's wait and see."

After hearing this, Wu Junrou's expression finally eased a little, and she stood with Madam Xu to admire the peonies in the palace.

Madam Xu has always been a frequent visitor to the palace and has a good relationship with Princess Xiangyu. Princess Xiangyu told her about her plan on how to teach Song Wanning a lesson.

Everyone was admiring the peony flowers, and Song Wanning was whispering in front of the flowers. After a while, a palace maid came in from outside, holding the finest Longjing tea prepared from Dehua Palace and presented it to the ladies.

Song Wanning saw the tea handed over by the palace maid, and heard the palace maid whisper, "Madam Yin, please try this excellent Longjing tea. This is specially prepared by the imperial concubine for all the ladies."

After hearing this, Song Wanning reached out to take the tea handed to her by the palace maid and said thank you softly.

But before Song Wanning could hold the teacup steadily, the palace maid opposite her slipped and spilled the entire cup of tea on Song Wanning's sleeve.

Before Song Wanning could say anything, Liu Yuyuan beside her screamed, "Oh? How could you be so careless?"

Song Wanning's dress was completely soaked. Seeing this, the maid in front of her knelt down hurriedly, kowtowed to Song Wanning and said, "Madam Yin, I am really sorry. My hand was shaking and I spilled the tea on you. It was really unintentional."

"Forget it." Song Wanning didn't want to cause any more trouble now, so she just said calmly, "I'll go to the carriage and change into new clothes. You don't have to kneel on the ground. If outsiders see you, they will think I'm bullying you."

At this time, Princess Xiangyu from the palace came out and happened to see this scene. She immediately said, "What is Cuixian doing? I asked you to serve tea to the ladies, why are you kneeling in front of Madam Yin? If someone who doesn't know sees this, they will think that Madam is bullying others by taking advantage of her power and doesn't treat the maids in the palace as human beings."

Princess Xiangyu's words were very fluent. It seemed that she had already planned to talk to Song Wanning. The trap she set for Song Wanning had begun.

Seeing this, the girl named Cuixian in front of Song Wanning immediately looked up at Xiangyu and said with a bitter face, "Princess, I accidentally spilled tea on Madam Yin and I am apologizing to Madam Yin. This is all my fault. Please punish me, Madam. It has nothing to do with me."
