As soon as Xie Mishuang stepped out of the Cining Palace, the empress dowager called her trusted nanny.

"Go, ask the girl from the Feng family to come over this afternoon."

After Xie Mishuang returned to the Prince's Mansion, she began to prepare for Princess Yong'an's coming-of-age ceremony.

Location, which palace should be chosen?

What dishes should be prepared for food?

Clothing, which dress should I wear?

Xie Mishuang considered everything carefully, striving to achieve perfection and not leave any handle for Princess Yong'an.

She specifically looked through the letter sent by Xie Chuxue, which recorded Princess Yong'an's preferences in detail.

Princess Yong'an likes places with water, so Xie Mishuang chose the observatory without a water pavilion.

Princess Yong'an liked complicated and gorgeous clothes, so Xie Mishuang chose a simple and elegant moon-white dress.

Princess Yong'an liked dresses embroidered with flower and bird patterns, so Xie Mishuang chose one embroidered only with auspicious cloud patterns.

Princess Yong'an liked simple and elegant hairpins, so Xie Mishuang chose one inlaid with rubies.

Xie Mishuang even made careful arrangements for the list of guests for the banquet.

Princess Yong'an had always been at odds with several other princesses, so Xie Mishuang arranged them in different areas to ensure that they "did not see each other."

In order to prevent Princess Yong'an from finding fault with him, Xie Mishuang specially asked Qinghe to invite Ouyang Jing over.

During this period, Princess Yong'an indeed came.

As soon as she stepped into the observatory, she couldn't help but frown.

"Why did you choose this place? The air is hot and stuffy, and there are mosquitoes everywhere. It's really not suitable. Let's move to another place."

Xie Mishuang had anticipated Princess Yong'an's nitpicking, so she calmly replied, "The Imperial Concubine's palace has white orchids that are specifically designed to repel mosquitoes. I'll have some brought in right away."

When Princess Yong'an heard this, she immediately became unhappy.

"How could you leave Mother's white orchid here? If someone breaks it at the banquet, can you afford to pay for it?"

Xie Mishuang sneered in his heart, but remained expressionless on the surface.

"It seems that the Imperial Concubine doesn't love you very much, and she's not willing to give up a few pots of white orchids for you."

Princess Yong'an was so angry that her face turned blue, but she was speechless.

"I just don't like this place. You have to find me another place!"

"I think this place is nice."

Ouyang Jing's voice suddenly rang out. Princess Yong'an quickly turned around and saw that it was Ouyang Jing. She had to suppress her dissatisfaction.

"Since the prince thinks it's good, then it's good."

After Princess Yong'an finished speaking, she turned and left.

After Xie Mishuang left the Cining Palace, he did not return to the Prince's Mansion, but turned around and went to the Fengyi Palace.

Hearing the footsteps, the Queen asked calmly without even looking up, "Have you arranged the coming-of-age ceremony?"

Xie Mishuang stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "My Queen Mother, everything has been arranged. I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to allow Miss Feng and Miss Shang to enter the Crown Prince's residence in advance."

"What?!" The queen stood up suddenly, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and the fine tea splashed on her skirt.

She didn't care about that and looked at Xie Mishuang in shock: "Shuang'er, you, you are confused because of the fever?"

Xie Mishuang shook his head and said firmly, "Mother, I am not confused by the fever."

"They will all enter the mansion sooner or later. What difference does it make whether they enter earlier or later?"

The Queen frowned and paced back and forth in the palace, her tone anxious: "That being said, if you let them enter the palace early, some people will think that the Crown Prince doesn't value you very much, and it will be easier for him to bully you. You must think it through!"

Xie Mishuang took a step forward, held the Queen's hand, and said firmly: "Mother, I am not afraid of these things. Please set a date."

The Queen sighed, "Well, since that's what you want, then let's set it for the first of next month, which is still a few days away. If you want to change your mind, feel free to come find me."

Xie Mishuang nodded: "Thank you, mother."

The queen watched Xie Mishuang leave, but felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Xin Yan walked in from outside the hall, cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and asked in a low voice, "Today, the Crown Princess was summoned to the Cining Palace. Could it be the Empress Dowager's intention?"

The Queen's expression froze. After a moment's silence, she slowly said, "It's very likely that the Queen Mother dislikes Shuang'er. I know this."

On the day of the coming-of-age banquet, the sun was shining brightly, the entire palace was decorated with lights and was crowded with guests.

Xie Chuxue's carriage slowly drove over. She was wearing a gorgeous dress today, but it couldn't hide her sickly paleness.

"Princess, please go slowly." The maid Qinglian carefully helped her out of the carriage, her face full of worry. "You just had a miscarriage, so your health is more important."

Xie Chuxue's eyes flashed with a sinister look, "Today is the day that bitch will make a fool of herself. I must see it with my own eyes."

Qinglian didn't dare to stop her anymore and could only carefully help her into the palace.

At the coming-of-age banquet, Shang Qiu Shui wore a goose yellow dress, which made her skin look whiter than snow and looked delicate and charming.

She looked around aimlessly, as if looking for someone.

Finally, her eyes lit up and she trotted off in one direction.

"Brother Prince, you are here!" Shang Qiu Shui's voice was sweet, with unconcealable joy.

As she spoke, she subtly showed off her new clothes and carefully dressed appearance.

Ouyang Jing just glanced at her lightly, then looked straight at Xie Mishuang who was entertaining guests on the side, with gentle eyes.

Shang Qiu Shui thought it was because she was dressed particularly beautifully today, and her confidence suddenly increased.

Anyway, she is now the concubine of the future crown prince, so it should be okay to do some intimate things now.

Thinking of this, she boldly took Ouyang Jing's arm.

Ouyang Jing did not refuse. After all, Lord Shang was still present, and it would be a loss of face for him to refuse openly.

Xie Mishuang happened to look up at Ouyang Jing and saw this scene.

Shang Qiushui even glanced at her provocatively, with a smug smile on his lips.

Xie Mi's eyes were slightly cold, but he continued to entertain the guests calmly.

At this time, Xie Chuxue came over with the help of her maid.

As soon as she arrived at the garden, she felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

The chosen address and some of Princess Yong'an's 'hobbies' were completely different from what was written in her letter?

Xie Mishuang, you are reborn as expected!

Xie Chuxue stared at her intently, her eyes full of resentment. She had been deceived by her before!

"Sister, are you feeling unwell today? Why do you look so pale?" Xie Mishuang asked with concern, but a barely perceptible chill flashed in his eyes.

Xie Chuxue held herself up, biting her lip as she said, "It's okay, sister is really radiant and full of spring breeze today."

She said this in a sarcastic tone, and everyone present heard the hidden meaning.

Xie Mishuang covered her mouth and smiled faintly: "No, no, I heard that my sister had some signs of morning sickness a few days ago. Could it be that she is pregnant?"
