The next day, the sun shone softly on the earth. Yun Shang and Shangguan Haoyu rode in a beautifully decorated carriage and slowly drove towards the Princess's Mansion.

The rolling of wheels and the sound of horse hooves seemed to be telling the story of an unknown journey.

After a while, the carriage stopped steadily in front of the princess's mansion.

The housekeeper in the mansion had been waiting for a long time. When he saw them arrive, he immediately welcomed them into the spacious hall with a smile on his face.

The hall is decorated elegantly and luxuriously, and is filled with a faint fragrance.

The two waited for a while, and soon the eldest princess came in gracefully surrounded by a group of maids.

Yun Shang and Shangguan Haoyu hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to the eldest princess.

After the ceremony, they took their seats.

The eldest princess looked at them for a moment with a sharp gaze, then slowly said: "Although your marriage came so hastily and without any warning, seeing how radiant you are now, I think your married life will be pretty good!"

"Aunt is right. Yunchang is doing well after marriage." Yunchang stood up straight, with a serious yet respectful expression on her face.

The eldest princess turned to look at Yun Shang and continued, "My niece was extremely reluctant to be with you at the beginning, but now you get along harmoniously, which is gratifying."

Yun Shang's heart was slightly moved when she heard this. She forced a smile on her face and said, "The prince is very good. Is it my blessing to marry him?"

"The situation was so complicated at the beginning that it was hard to explain to my aunt. It was all fate. It is also God's blessing that I am safe and sound now."

After hearing this, the princess said no more and just gently gestured to the maid beside her.

The maid hurriedly presented a tray with an exquisite wooden box on it.

The princess picked up the wooden box and handed it to Yun Shang herself, saying, "This is a meeting gift. From now on, I hope your niece will take good care of me!"

Yun Shang took the wooden box respectfully with both hands, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, auntie. Taking care of the prince is my responsibility. Don't worry, auntie."

The princess nodded with satisfaction and continued, "The flowers in the side garden are in full bloom. My niece, please go sit in the garden for a while. I will talk to my nephew and ask him to come find you later!"

Yun Shang nodded obediently and said, "Yes, aunt."

Then she quietly followed the maid out of the hall and, under the guidance of the maid, walked towards the side garden.

After the maid left, Shuxin was the only one left in the garden.

She then patted her chest as if relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest princess' aura was so strong. Her sharp eyes and majestic temperament made Yun Shang feel like the stubborn and scary headmaster when she was in school.

Whenever the eldest princess looked at her, Yun Shang felt her scalp tingling and her whole body uncomfortable.

Afterwards, Yun Shang looked at the wooden box in her hand. Although she was curious about the items inside, she resisted the urge to open it because she was in the Princess's Mansion.

Just as she was looking around the scenery in the garden out of boredom, a girl in green clothes came towards her with light steps.

The girl stared at her with malicious eyes.

Yun Shang also turned her head to look over, and recalled in her mind that this girl was the princess, and the invitation to the flower-viewing banquet was sent out in her name.

"You are completely different after becoming the Crown Prince's Consort. Before, you were timid and submissive, keeping your head down and not daring to look up, like a petty person!" Princess Yu'er said with disdain and sarcasm.

"You, are you talking about me?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Yun Chang couldn't help but feel puzzled. She really couldn't understand when she had offended Princess Yu'er that she could be so rude and sarcastic.

"That's right, I'm talking about you!" Princess Yu'er crossed her arms in front of her chest, her chin slightly raised, with an arrogant look on her face.

Yun Shang was so angry that she laughed. She frowned slightly and said, "My aunt has always been strict in managing the family. I didn't expect Princess Yu'er to be so ignorant of etiquette?"

"Don't use my mother to pressure me!" Princess Yu'er shouted with her eyes wide open.

"I am obviously your cousin's wife, and not only did you not show courtesy to me, but you also said hurtful things to me!"

Yun Shang took a step forward and righteously accused, "Why would I need to bring up my aunt to pressure you? Just based on your rude attitude, it's wrong no matter where you are!"

"Cousin?"

Princess Yu'er raised her lips and said with a hint of disdain, "Let's talk about it after you really become my cousin's wife! It would be strange if my cousin could consummate his marriage with his sickly body. How can you be considered my cousin's wife if the ceremony has not been completed?"

Yun Shang blushed slightly after hearing this, and spread her hands and said, "Where did you hear that your cousin and I never had sex? Besides, is it appropriate for you, an unmarried woman, to talk about such private matters? I really don't know where you have learned the rules of these ladies from wealthy families!"

Princess Yu'er's face suddenly flushed slightly, and then she blurted out: "Don't act like a cousin in front of me and scold me. Let me tell you, you are not qualified!"

When Yun Shang heard this, she was suddenly speechless, thinking that under the current circumstances, communication between them might not be able to proceed normally.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to freeze and the scene instantly cooled down.

Princess Yu'er suddenly raised her voice and asked, "Let me ask you, were you the one who instigated Huo Beixuan's departure from Beijing? Ning Xue has become a laughing stock, you must be feeling very proud, right!"

At this moment, Yun Chang suddenly realized that the princess was actually Ning Xue's close friend.

She couldn't help but frown and said, "I remember that my aunt once clearly told you not to have any contact with Ning Xue anymore. Why, it seems that you are pretending to obey but secretly disobeying her?"

Yun Chang was full of doubts. Was the princess speaking up for Ning Xueming? Why was she pointing the finger at her?

Could it be that Ning Xue had said a lot of bad things about herself in front of the princess? This Ning Xue, who had a lot of troubles at home, actually had the mind to gossip.

Thinking of this, Yun Shang couldn't help but get angry.

Yu'er ignored Yunchang's thoughts and continued to talk to herself, "Humph! Don't be so naive to think that you can put Ning Xue in a miserable situation by instigating Huo Beixuan to leave Beijing! Let me tell you, even if Huo Beixuan is not here, his father has the right to write a divorce letter for Huo Beixuan. It won't be long before Ning Xue can regain her freedom!"

Yu'er became more and more angry as she spoke, her chest heaving and her face flushing red.

She still refused to give in, and continued angrily: "Do you think no one knows that you blamed Ning Xue for taking Huo Beixuan away, and then did those little tricks in secret?"

"Humph! You are totally wrong! Ning Xue told me everything! Don't dream that you can live happily with your cousin by harming Ning Xue and Huo Beixuan in this way. I tell you, sooner or later, your cousin will understand this matter clearly!"
