In the yard, coincidentally, Liu Meir also came back. When the two met, they were extremely jealous of each other.

The old lady of the Liu family rubbed her brows and said, "You are two sisters, you should help each other, why are you fighting?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid there are some people who are still harboring evil intentions and are thinking about things they shouldn't be thinking about." Liu Meir snorted.

Liu Xiangling frowned.

Madam Liu was not happy to be scolded by Liu Mei'er: "If Ling'er had wanted to think about you, you wouldn't be sitting here today."

"You!" Liu Meir's face turned pale when she was confronted, and she was so angry that she started quarreling with Madam Liu on the spot.

The hall was in chaos.

Liu Xiangling had something important on her mind, so she pulled Madam Liu and gave her a look, and Madam Liu gave up and the two left.

"Liu Mei'er, this little bitch, is getting more and more presumptuous." Madam Liu was so angry that she pointed at Liu Xiangling's forehead and said, "You are so stupid that you don't want to be the Crown Princess but insist on being the Third Prince."

Madam Liu was also very angry during the past three years. She had to put on a smile when she saw people from the second house. Liu Xiangling had no choice but to apologize and whispered a few words in Madam Liu's ear.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Mother, I am worried that someone may have deliberately murdered me. If my aunt knew about this, she would definitely make a fuss about it."

Queen Liu still holds a grudge.

Madam Liu took a deep breath and said, "Since Your Highness has such great ambitions, why not give it a try? You don't have to worry about it. The Liu family is all in the same boat. If you don't live well, then the little bitch won't be able to live well either."

……

Evening

After Ning Xianyun finished her meal, she sat on a chair and copied scriptures. Only then could she calm her impatient heart. She put down her pen and wiped her palms with a clean handkerchief.

Xue Yuan came in with tea and smiled at Ning Xianyun: "Master, it's done."

The smile on Ning Xianyun's face grew wider.

She had only made a slight test during the day, but the prince became angry. If the prince accidentally saw someone who looked like Liao Han, and that person happened to be pregnant.

How could the prince not be moved?

As soon as this woman appeared, she bewitched the prince's soul and brought her into the East Palace regardless of everything. When Liu Meir returned and heard about this, she was furious and went to see this woman regardless of anything.

The Crown Prince has already appointed this person as Concubine Han.

"Han Concubine?" Liu Mei'er was still making fun of Liu Xiangling during the day, but she was slapped in the face at night. She was so angry that her eyebrows were crooked: "Your Highness, shouldn't you discuss with me if you want to take a concubine? What if this Han Concubine has an unknown origin and plots to murder Your Highness?"

Liu Mei'er looked at Concubine Han's coquettish appearance, and her anger surged up, especially when she saw Concubine Han's bulging belly, she was even more furious: "Bitch, how dare you seduce His Highness!"

"Snapped!"

The prince slapped Liu Mei'er in the face with his backhand: "What does it have to do with you if I want to take a concubine? Liu Mei'er, you are so brave!"

Liu Meir covered her face in disbelief.

Concubine Han, who was standing by, was trembling with fear and hid behind her maid. The prince felt so distressed when he saw this and walked towards Concubine Han.

But Concubine Han waved it away.

The prince was not angry, but patiently comforted her: "Han'er, you don't have to be afraid. No one dares to bully you here. I will support you."

Concubine Han fainted from excitement.

The prince panicked instantly: "Quick, call the imperial physician!"

The East Palace was brightly lit that night.

Liu Meir was punished to kneel in the corridor, and the prince said that she could only go back when Concubine Han woke up.

This was the first time Liu Meier had been humiliated like this. She was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back with her head tilted back, clenching her fists tightly, "Where on earth did this Concubine Han come from? Why is she pregnant?"

"Replying to the Crown Princess, today when you were returning to the Liu family from the Third Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince suddenly stopped the carriage when passing Chang'an Street, got off the carriage, and brought Concubine Han back from the street."

"That's it?"

"Yes."

"What is the origin of Concubine Han?"

"I am incompetent and have not found anything yet."

Upon hearing this, Liu Meir cursed him as a piece of trash, unable to even find out such a small matter.

Concubine Han was extremely frightened and was unconscious for the whole night. Liu Meir was punished to kneel all night and her legs were already numb.

Until she could no longer bear it, she secretly sent someone to inform Queen Liu about this matter.

Not long after, Queen Liu hurried over and saw Liu Meir kneeling on the ground with a slap mark on her face. People coming and going were just watching her.

"Hurry up and help the Crown Princess up!" Queen Liu ordered.

Liu Mei'er looked at Queen Liu with grievance, but Queen Liu scolded her: "How can a dignified Crown Princess be so embarrassed? How disgraceful! Go down and clean up!"

Not daring to resist, Liu Meir left with gritted teeth.

When she came back again, she saw Queen Liu sitting on a high seat in the hall. The Crown Prince was standing beside her, looking down and saying something. When he saw her come in, his face darkened and there was undisguised disgust in his eyes.

Liu Meir's heart sank and she called out "Mother" in grievance.

"Mei'er, it's only natural for the Crown Prince to take a concubine. You don't know the rules!" Queen Liu glared at Liu Mei'er unhappily: "As the Crown Princess, you should be magnanimous and not jealous!"

"Mother..."

"Concubine Han has been brought back, so you don't have to embarrass her anymore."

Liu Meir felt even more aggrieved. She was clearly thinking about the Crown Prince, so why didn't everyone understand?

Queen Liu frowned: "Do you want to make this known to all the civil and military officials in the court?"

After being scolded, Liu Meir lowered her head obediently and responded with "I dare not".

"Mei'er is the Crown Princess after all. You should give her more respect and don't let people laugh at her." Queen Liu advised the Crown Prince earnestly.

The prince hummed lightly.

"Your father is planning to attack Southern Liang these days. If you continue to make trouble, and the position of commander of the three armies is given to the third or fifth brother, you will regret it."

The prince's face changed slightly. He was determined to attack Southern Liang and no one could compete with him.

"Mother, your Majesty has taught me that I am wrong."

Empress Liu was finally satisfied. Just as she was about to turn around, the eunuch came running over and said, "Empress, this is bad. The censor has impeached the Crown Prince."

"What?" Queen Liu exclaimed, "Why?"

"Several censors reported that the Crown Prince was disrespectful to his brother, went to the Third Prince's residence and made a scene, beat up the guards there, and kidnapped a decent girl in the street. They also reported that the Crown Princess had no manners and was jealous."

As soon as the young eunuch finished speaking, the faces of the three people present changed.

Queen Liu was furious. "It must have been done by that bastard Zhao Zhen."

Everything was related to Zhao Zhen. Empress Liu was furious: "How could I have raised such an ambitious bastard!"

The prince was also angry: "Mother, you should have killed the third brother without hesitation."

"Don't lose your composure for now." Queen Liu sent someone to find out whether this matter had anything to do with the Third Prince, and then sent someone to summon Liu Xiangling into the palace.

"Empress, the Third Prince and his wife went to pay their respects to the Emperor an hour ago." The young eunuch interrupted with gritted teeth.

Queen Liu's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Mother, there is no need to ask anymore. He was the one who did it. After returning from Xijing, Zhao Zhen seemed to have become a different person. He opposed me everywhere." The prince's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He made up his mind that he would kill anyone who dared to compete with him.

Queen Liu pursed her lips without saying anything, then stood up and left. She wanted to see what trouble the Third Prince could cause.

In the hall, the Third Prince changed from his previous violent and reckless behavior to an elegant and dignified manner of speech and behavior. He spoke eloquently, modestly and politely, and did not forget to praise Liu Xiangling's virtue.

"Father, if it weren't for Ling'er's careful care, I would never see you again." The third prince looked terrified, "Only when I was on the verge of death did I realize how much of a jerk I was all these years. I have survived this catastrophe and I have decided to change my ways and be a good person."

After all, he was his own son. The Emperor of Northern Qi was very pleased to see the Third Prince like this. He looked at Liu Xiangling with a gentler gaze and gave him a lot of jewelry with a wave of his hand.

Liu Xiangling was flattered: "Thank you, father, for the reward."

When Queen Liu arrived, what she saw was a scene of loving father and filial son, and her heart choked.
