Ever since she last went to the East Palace, there has been a constant stream of posts outside.

Those who wanted to enter Prince Yan's Mansion but couldn't before are now setting their sights on her.

Either the mansion of a marquis or the mansion of a prince, or the wives of various officials, were sent here.

Either he wanted to visit her at home, or he wanted to invite her to a dinner at home.

To be honest, she didn't want to see any of these people.

But since she has already married into Prince Yan's mansion and Prince Yan is willing to help her, she can't do anything else. At least the affairs of the harem have to be arranged properly, in case she can find out some information.

After searching through the numerous posts, he found two or three and handed them to Baozhu: "Reply to them and tell them that we will definitely be there when the time comes."

"Yes."

As soon as Baozhu went out, someone came in to report that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi wanted to see her.

Since Prince Yan is not around, she is in charge of entertaining guests.

"Please invite the person into the main hall. I will come right away."

The King of Qi...really came.

Jiang Nian got dressed and hurried to the main hall to entertain the guests. As soon as he entered, the smile on his lips instantly disappeared.

This King of Qi is really good at handling things.

Come if you want, why bring Xiao Yinnan with you?

The King of Qi stepped forward and saluted: "Third sister-in-law." After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yinnan beside him and motioned him to salute.

Xiao Yinnan bowed reluctantly to Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian knew that the person in front of him was the prince, the younger brother of Prince Yan, but the disgust he felt for Xiao Yinnan had reached an unbearable level at this time.

He said calmly, "Next time your Highness comes, don't bring anything into the mansion. If your third brother finds out, he won't be happy."

The prince was startled and asked, "Did I bring anything? Nothing?" As he spoke, he searched his body.

Jiang Nian: ...

"Your Highness, what is the matter with you coming here today?"

"It's nothing, actually. I was just bored, so I came to visit Third Brother's house. It's a pity that Third Brother is not here."

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan happens to be busy today. I'll tell him when he comes back."

"That's not necessary. Third brother is busy, so I'm sorry to bother him."

Jiang Nian responded to the King of Qi one sentence at a time. The King of Qi suddenly looked at Xiao Yinan and said, "General Xiao, why don't you say anything?"

This King Qi really doesn't know how to read people's faces. Can't he see that she doesn't have a good face towards Xiao Yinnan at all?

Jiang Nian didn't hesitate and drove him away directly: "General Xiao, I need to speak to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. Can you please leave now?"

These words were spoken suddenly, and the King of Qi looked between the two of them, feeling a little awkward.

Xiao Yinnan didn't move, his eyes fixed on her.

"Still not leaving?"

Did he think she wouldn't dare to disrespect the King of Qi in front of him? She had someone to back her up now. What was she afraid of, a Xiao Yinan?

The main hall was dead silent. No one expected Jiang Nian to speak so directly. It was like a slap in the face of Xiao Yinnan, and he didn't want to hide his disgust at all.

The King of Qi laughed awkwardly. "General Xiao, I remember you said last time you would give me a horse? Has it arrived yet? Why don't you go and take a look?"

Xiao Yinan was not angry. When he stood up, he bowed to Jiang Nian and said slowly: "Niannian is angry with me, so I will leave first and come to see you another day."

Upon hearing this, the King of Qi couldn't help but open his eyes wide. What was going on?

He thought the two didn't know each other, but it turned out they were old acquaintances?

Jiang Nian said calmly, "You are not welcome in this mansion, so don't come again."

The people outside "invited" Xiao Yinnan out, and King Qi asked curiously, "Does my third brother know about this?"

"what?"

"It's just...about you two."

"What's going on between us? Your Highness Prince Qi, please don't say anything nonsense."

Seeing that Jiang Nian didn't want to talk more, the King of Qi looked at him with an expression that said, "I understand." He stood up and looked outside: "It's a bit stuffy in this room. Third sister-in-law, will you accompany me for a walk?"

The two of them went into the garden, followed not far behind by palace maids.

The King of Qi suddenly asked, "Did my third sister-in-law marry my third brother voluntarily?"

"Of course it's voluntary."

"Has Third Sister-in-law never heard of my Third Brother's reputation before? In the entire capital, there are more people who like him than those who are afraid of him."

"Back then, he led only a few thousand men to the northern border and stormed through Northern Liang. He single-handedly slaughtered countless Northern Liang people, leaving his hands stained with blood. The Imperial Observatory said his bloodlust was so severe that no one around him would have a good ending."

Jiang Nian raised the corner of his mouth, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"What does your highness the Prince of Qi mean?"

"This prince is concerned about you. I don't want to see a beautiful woman like you suffer in Prince Yan's mansion. Third brother is a cold-hearted man. He doesn't have much affection for his own biological mother, let alone you."

Jiang Nian now understood that this was an attempt to sow discord between King Yan and her.

He stopped and looked over, then asked, "Are you going to cross the border, Your Highness?"

The King of Qi shook his head: "Of course I haven't been there."

"Since you've never been there, let alone fought on a battlefield, how can you have the nerve to say this? As a prince living a life of luxury in the capital, I don't expect you to understand the cruelty of the battlefield. However, I think that as a prince of a country, you should at least understand one thing: you are incompetent, so don't say such disheartening words."

The King of Qi stood there in a daze without saying a word. Jiang Nian stepped forward and spoke in a strong and powerful voice.

"If it weren't for His Highness the Prince of Yan guarding the Northern Frontier, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me? The peace of the Northern Frontier today is all earned by His Highness the Prince of Yan's life. You've been enjoying his protection, yet now you're saying this. Don't you feel guilty calling me Third Brother?"

Jiang Nian had heard of the name of Prince Yan in his previous life, but he didn't know much about him at that time. He only knew that people in the capital had mixed opinions about him, and his reputation as a ferocious and evildoer had spread throughout the capital.

Now it seems that those people outside were just exaggerating and making groundless accusations, just to ruin the reputation of Prince Yan.

It would be fine if these words were only said behind her back, but could Jiang Nian tolerate it being said in front of her today?

"Your Highness Prince Qi, you should be thankful that you are a prince. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk out of Prince Yan's Mansion standing today."

The King of Qi was stunned and silent for a long time. After reacting, he smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, how long have you been married to my third brother? You don't even know him, but you're speaking for him? So, don't be with him. Follow me. I will definitely treat you well and be more gentle and considerate to you than my third brother."

Jiang Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, flashing a cold light: "Your Highness Prince Qi, I will tell your third brother everything you said today without missing a word. You can go to him and quibble."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered: "Come here, send the guests away!"

The King of Qi panicked and quickly chased after him, "No, Third Sister-in-law, I was just joking. You must not tell Third Brother, otherwise I will die!"

"You dare to say it and admit it. Weren't you very brave when you said it just now? I treated you kindly, but you took advantage of the King of Yan's absence to bully me..."

"Who bullied you?"

A voice interrupted Jiang Nian's words, and the King of Qi felt a pang in his heart. It was over.
