When Shen Zien heard this, the fake smile on her face could no longer be maintained. Her expression changed immediately and she cursed, "Jiang Tangxi, don't be so shameless."

Jiang Tangxi snorted coldly, took a step forward, and approached Shen Zien directly, with a strong sense of oppression in his eyes.

"Shen Zien, you need to understand your position. In this palace, you can only stand if I allow you to. If I don't want you to have a good life, you won't even have a place to cry."

Shen Zien was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Jiang Tangxi and said, "Do you think you are so great? Isn't it just because you have a belly? Who knows what your child will look like when he is born."

When Jiang Tangxi heard this, he was furious and slapped him directly with a loud and crisp "pa" sound.

"Keep your mouth shut, it's not your turn to curse my child."

Shen Zien covered her face and widened her eyes. She had never expected Jiang Tangxi to do that. "Jiang Tangxi, how dare you hit me?"

"What's wrong with hitting you? I'm teaching you how to behave. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because the empress dowager is backing you up. In this palace, I'm the princess and you'll always be just a concubine who is not worthy of being on the stage." Jiang Tangxi fought back without showing any weakness.

Shen Zien was so angry that she was shaking all over. Suddenly, like an enraged beast, angry fire flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and prepared to hit Jiang Tangxi back.

At this moment, Xiao Cui rushed over quickly and grabbed Shen Zien's arm.

"Concubine Shen, you can't do it." Xiao Cui said loudly, "The princess is pregnant now. If anything goes wrong, even the entire Shen Mansion won't be enough to bury her. You have to think it through."

Shen Zien's hands froze in mid-air, and her face became extremely ugly, with various emotions such as anger, unwillingness, and fear intertwined.

She gritted her teeth so hard that she seemed to want to break them.

"Let me go." Shen Zien struggled hard, trying to break free from Xiao Cui's restraints.

Xiao Cui held her tightly and said, "Concubine Shen, calm down. Don't do anything stupid."

"Jiang Tangxi, don't be too proud. The prince can't always protect you."

Jiang Tangxi smiled contemptuously, "Humph, I don't know whether the prince will protect me or not, but I know that as long as I am here, you will never make trouble in this palace. I have seen all your little tricks clearly, so be honest in the future, or you will be in trouble."

The two of them immediately started arguing with each other.

Jiang Tangxi folded her hands in front of her chest, raised her chin slightly, and questioned Shen Zien: "Do you know that I am the princess of this palace? I used to be quite approachable, and I always try to save as much as possible when it comes to the rules of this palace. But since you said so solemnly that you came to pay your respects to me, you must follow the etiquette. You must bathe and fast three days in advance, and then kneel three times and kowtow nine times to me!"

When Shen Zien heard this, she was so angry that her face turned red. She shouted, "Jiang Tangxi, you are so shameless. You want me to kowtow to you three times and nine times. You are dreaming."

At this moment, Xiao Yuchen's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "What if I ask you to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to the princess?"

As soon as Shen Zien heard Xiao Yuchen's voice, he was like an eggplant hit by frost, and his arrogance instantly subsided.

She hurriedly bowed to Xiao Yuchen with a guilty conscience, and said with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I greet you."

But Xiao Yuchen completely ignored her and strode to Jiang Tangxi's side, naturally putting his arm around her waist.

His tone was somewhat dissatisfied, but he was extremely gentle to Jiang Tangxi's actions, and said softly: "Yiyi, why did you come out to do these things? Don't you know that I will be worried?"

Jiang Tangxi explained with a smile: "I just came out not long ago, and I didn't do any strenuous exercise. I just wanted to move around and breathe some fresh air."

The two of them talked intimately, completely ignoring Shen Zien as if she didn't exist at all.

Shen Zien, who was standing by, felt very uncomfortable. She bit her lip and then reminded him, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you when you are free."

Xiao Yuchen didn't even look at her, and said directly: "Don't you have eyes? Can't you see that I am accompanying the princess? I don't have time."

Even if Jiang Tangxi is pregnant and cannot serve, Xiao Yuchen will still accompany her?

Then what is she?? !!

When Shen Zien heard this, she immediately became furious. She didn't care about anything else and said directly, "Your Majesty, I am also a princess and a concubine granted by the emperor. Why do you treat me like this? Why do you only have eyes for Jiang Tangxi?"

When Xiao Yuchen heard this, his face suddenly became as gloomy and scary as the sky covered with dark clouds.

He looked at Shen Zien coldly and said, "Watch your attitude when you speak. Don't think that you can act insolently in front of me just because you have the title of a princess and the support of the empress dowager."

When Shen Zien heard this, the grievance and anger in her heart surged up all at once. She bit her lip and said unconvincedly: "Prince, last night was our wedding night, but you left me alone in the empty room. If this gets out to the palace and the Queen Mother knows about it, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Queen Mother?"

Shen Zien must have gone crazy at that moment, and only after he said this did he realize that something was wrong!

Her tone was full of threats!!!

How dare she??

Xiao Yuchen sneered and said, "If it weren't for the Empress Dowager, do you think you could still enter the palace? You have already used up your last bit of value by being able to come in. You still want to win my heart? It's just a foolish dream. Besides, Jiang Tangxi is the mistress of this palace, and you are just a concubine. It is your duty to serve the princess."

Shen Zien's eyes widened, looking at Xiao Yuchen in disbelief. She felt that there must be something wrong with her ears. She said in a trembling voice: "Prince, how can you do this to me? I am your concubine who was married to you in a formal ceremony."

Xiao Yuchen said with disdain: "Before you married me, did you really think you were here to enjoy yourself? You don't even look at your own status. In this palace, you must abide by the rules of this palace."

After saying that, Xiao Yuchen picked up Jiang Tangxi by the waist, as if he was holding a precious treasure, and slowly walked into the house.

Shen Zien also followed him in.

When Xiao Cui saw this, she was very quick-witted and immediately brought a cup of hot tea to Shen Zien, saying, "Concubine Shen, please pay your respects and serve tea to the princess."

Shen Zien glared at Xiao Cui angrily.

Xiao Cui pretended not to see it.

Xiao Yuchen said, "Why? Didn't anyone teach you the rules before you married into the palace?"
