After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home

Mrs. Hu watched Meng Wan put on a cloak and leave Jinxiu Tower with other young wives, and her lips pursed slightly.

Meng Wan and the others were led by the court lady to a small ice rink in the imperial garden. As soon as they passed through a plum forest, they heard the girls' joyful laughter.

The colorful clothes fluttering on the ice, accompanied by the young and soft figure, are as beautiful as a painting.

There were warm sheds around the ice rink. Walking with Meng Wan was the granddaughter-in-law of the Minister of War, Lu. She was the Lu family's granddaughter who was favored by Imperial Concubine Xiang and wanted to marry her to her nephew. However, because of a word from Concubine Zhen, she whispered in Imperial Concubine Xiang's ear and gave Meng Qi to Prince Rui.

In the end, she failed to get it from the Imperial Concubine, and her nephew failed to get the Lu family's Miss Sun either. I heard that she was engaged to a distant relative of her family.

The two walked to a warm shed, and the eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly handed them the hand warmer that had been replaced with charcoal.

Meng Wan looked at the ice and smiled, "It's really beautiful, but it's a pity that I don't know how to do it. How about my sister's skills?"

Madam Lu waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I would like to learn, and my little sister has taught me, but I just can't learn. Once I stand on the ice, I dare not even move. Look, my sister paddles so well."

Meng Wan looked in the direction she pointed and saw that the youngest daughter of the Lu family, whom everyone wanted to hire, was completing a leap in the air, attracting cheers from everyone.

Zhou Yingning and a group of young sisters were standing in the greenhouse nearby. When they saw Meng Wan coming over, they took another look at the cloak she was wearing. They were secretly delighted and turned around to talk to the slightly shorter girl next to them.

The girl slowly frowned and looked towards Meng Wan a few times, her face full of indignation.

The girl is Gao Yang's younger sister. She usually relies on her aunt being the queen and is so arrogant that she even looks down on the Bo's Mansion. It is said that she and Princess Fanghua quarrel every time they meet, and Princess Yong'an has a headache trying to settle the lawsuit between them.

After a while, a group of noble ladies came down from the ice, led by Princess Yong'an. With the help of palace maids, she walked into the largest greenhouse in the middle.

Meng Wan looked over and saw a girl with a limp walking up to Princess Yong'an. She looked at Miss Gao as she walked over and turned her head away with disdain.

Meng Wan understood and thought that the person must be Princess Fanghua. It was hard to tell when she was standing there, but when she walked, it was obvious that one was taller than the other.

Miss Gao ignored Princess Fanghua and walked to Princess Yongan, saying something while pointing in her direction.

Princess Yong'an was sitting there, letting the maids change her shoes. She laughed when she heard this and said, "That's impossible. There are only two of them. They are extremely rare. Maybe the colors are similar, so you saw it wrong?"

"How come? Miss Wednesday just said that."

"Oh?" Princess Yong'an stood up and stamped her feet.

"What's wrong?" Princess Fanghua asked.

Yong'an squinted his eyes and looked at Meng Wan, and saw that she was indeed wearing a cloak made of the material that he had given to Zhou Yingning. However, the material had been there for a long time, and she could not remember the specific color, but it looked similar.

I thought, forget it. Even though I said it was a reward for Zhou Yingning, I gave it to someone else and they can do whatever they want with it. Even though I would still feel a little uncomfortable wearing it on someone else, there are so many people here today, there is no need to keep a close eye on this matter.

Before Yong'an said anything, Miss Gao said to Fanghua, "Sister Ning is really kind. It was Yong'an who gave her the material and asked her to cut the clothes to wear when we get together again. But now, she asked her mother to give it to her second sister-in-law."

"What material?" Fanghua took two steps forward, looking interested.

"It's nothing, just ordinary. Let's go, everyone must be cold, let's go back to Jinxiu Tower to play chess and cards." Yong'an said with a smile.

Zhou Yingning walked in at this time, bowed to Yongan and Fanghua, and then said with a guilty look, "It's my fault. I failed the princess' kindness."

Fanghua turned to look at Zhou Yingning, "What happened?"

Yong'an sighed. This was Fanghua's temper. If you didn't give a clear reason or explain the whole story when she asked a question, she would not give in and would even look down on you.

"It was the piece of material that Princess Yong'an gave to me, the same one that Princess Fanghua gave me. My mother gave it to my second sister-in-law. I wanted to apologize to the princess alone, but I didn't expect that my second sister-in-law would make a cloak for me and wear it today. I didn't expect it either."

"Princess, don't you know that the material was specially given to you by Yong'an?" Fanghua frowned.

"Yes, I told you when I brought it back. Mother was very happy at that time. She said it was a blessing for me that the two princesses thought highly of me."

"Then why give it to your second sister-in-law?"

"That's because, some time ago, when we were sorting out fabrics to choose clothes for the New Year, my second sister-in-law happened to see us. She took a liking to that piece of fabric at first sight and begged mother for it. Mother told her where the fabric came from and told her to choose something else. If there was nothing suitable in the house, she could just go to the fabric shop outside to choose one."

Zhou Yingning looked embarrassed. Seeing the noble ladies listening with great interest, she was very proud in her heart, "But my second sister-in-law wanted that piece, and she said that such a good thing should be hers."

Fang Hua raised her eyebrows, "What kind of words are you talking about? How dare she snatch the things given by the princess?"

"Princess, calm down. I'm not afraid of you making fun of our family situation. My mother doesn't dare to say a word on weekdays, but there are still rumors about her outside. If my mother refuses, knowing that the princess doesn't dare to give away the reward casually, I don't know what she will say to my mother."

After saying this, he bowed to Yong'an and said, "Please forgive me, Princess. I should have come to apologize earlier, but I didn't have the chance to enter the palace."

Princess Yong'an sighed and said, "Forget it, it's just a piece of material. Just give it to me. There's no need to make things so difficult for you and your mother." As she spoke, she looked at Meng Wan who was standing not far away in a cloak and sighed.

"That won't do. It's fine if Sister Ning wears it, but I won't agree to let a wild girl who I found from somewhere wear the same thing as me." After Fang Hua said this, she was about to go to Meng Wan angrily.

"Well, you're not wearing anything today, so it's not worth it. Today is a good day. Have you forgotten what our mother told us this morning?" Yong'an went to pull Fanghua, his face full of displeasure.

Zhou Yingning was happy to see Fanghua was aroused by her, but she looked unnatural. "It's my fault. I said these things to upset the two princesses."

"It wasn't you who said it. I told the princess. How could such a thing be hidden? If one day the princess asks you what material you made and whether it looks good, how will you answer?" Miss Gao said angrily.

"That's right. It has nothing to do with you. It's your second sister-in-law who is too short-sighted and wants everything." Fanghua glared in the direction of Meng Wan and said.

"It's because the princess's things are so good that people are coveting them. We didn't see the material. If we had known earlier, we would have asked for it a long time ago." The speaker was the eldest granddaughter of the Duke Zhongguo's Mansion and the eldest daughter of Meng Zewen's brother. She was very popular in the circle of noble ladies, and even Princess Fanghua would give her some face.

Princess Yong'an burst out laughing and said, "Okay, I know what you mean. Next time I have something good, I will guarantee you a share. How about that?"

"Princess, you are deceiving us. If we get such precious material, but only two pieces, how should we divide them?" someone said coquettishly.

"That's easy. Princess, just make it into a handkerchief and give one to each of us." Miss Meng said with a smile.

Everyone started laughing, even Fanghua and Miss Gao.

Zhou Yingning also smiled, but she knew that she couldn't say anything more at this time. Princess Yong'an seemed to want to suppress the matter, and bringing it up again at this time would only annoy the princess.

However, just letting these young ladies know about this and making them think that Meng Wan was short-sighted was not what she and Hu had been planning for for so long. No, they had to think of another way.
