The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a complex emotion surged in his heart.

She didn't know how to face the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, nor did she know how to protect herself and Lu Shengyuan.

"Du Ruo, I'm very confused and I want to be alone."

She whispered, a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her voice.

Du Ruo looked at her and knew that she needed time to think, so she nodded gently and stepped out.

Lin Wanqing sat alone in the room, his heart filled with confusion and bewilderment.

She didn't know what to do to protect herself and Lu Shengyuan.

She didn't know what to do with her feelings.

Just then, she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Alarm bells rang in her heart, and she quickly opened the door and saw a group of guards running towards her.

"Princess, something terrible has happened!"

The guard looked at her with an anxious look on his face, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess suddenly came to the palace and said they wanted to see you!"

Lin Wanqing's heart trembled slightly when he heard this.

She knew that what was coming would eventually come.

"Princess, please go quickly. The prince is already waiting for you there."

The guard looked at her and urged.

Lin Wanqing nodded, straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the hall.

The battle has just begun.

In the hall, Lu Shengyuan, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess took their seats as host and guest.

When Lin Wanqing walked in, the eyes of the three people fell on her.

She felt an invisible pressure that made her breathless.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

She walked up to the three of them and bowed slightly.

The prince looked at her with a playful smile on his face.

"Your Highness is so lucky to marry such a beautiful princess."

He said with a smile, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan showed a hint of displeasure on his face.

He knew that the prince had bad intentions, but due to his status, he could not get angry.

"Your Majesty, this is a great reward."

He said calmly, then looked at the Crown Princess, "Prince and Princess, what brings you here today?"

The Crown Princess looked at Lin Wanqing with a friendly smile on her face.

"It's okay, I just brought the Crown Princess here to take a look." The Crown Prince laughed.

He ordered the eunuch beside him: "Bring the things here!"

Lin Wanqing looked at him suspiciously, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Soon, the young eunuch came in carrying a tray.

There were two sets of jewelry and a jade pendant on it.

The jade pendant was carved from the finest white jade, crystal clear and with a warm and soft white color.

Although Lin Wanqing was a country woman, she also knew the value of this jade.

This can be considered a rare treasure, and its price is at least a million taels of gold.

She was a little shocked. What did the Crown Prince and Crown Princess mean?

Is it a gift for myself?

She raised her head and gave the Crown Prince and Crown Princess a grateful smile.

"Thank you, Crown Prince and Crown Princess, for your kindness. I feel so ashamed to receive it."

As soon as she finished speaking, a clear and tender girl's voice was heard.

"Princess, don't be shy. Since it's a gift from my brother, just accept it."

Lin Wanqing turned around and saw that the person who spoke was the girl sitting next to the prince.

The girl was extremely beautiful, with a pair of watery almond eyes, tempting red lips, delicate features like a painting, and was wearing a peach pink palace dress.

Lin Wanqing was involuntarily attracted by it.

This girl is so beautiful, she looks like a fairy walking out of a painting.

"You are……"

Lin Wanqing couldn't help but ask, why did this girl come here with the prince?

"My name is Xia Yiyi, and my mother is the Queen's sister-in-law, so I know the prince and my brother."

Xia Yiyi introduced herself with a smile, excitement glittering in her eyes.

Lin Wanqing suddenly realized that this person was the Queen's niece. No wonder she came with the Prince.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly saluted Xia Yiyi.

"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

She was neither humble nor arrogant, and her every gesture showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Xia Yiyi smiled and reached out her hand to help her. "You are too polite, Princess. You are a few years older than me. Just call me Yiyi or Yiyi."

She held Lin Wanqing's hand, enthusiastically and happily.

This made the men around look at him sideways.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess smiled at each other and then changed the subject.

"Your Highness, I brought Yiyi here today because my father has been in poor health recently. I hope you can take care of him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing immediately echoed, "Please rest assured, Crown Princess. The Crown Prince is a pillar of the nation, loyal and courageous, and will definitely not let Your Majesty down."

Her tone was respectful, her expression sincere, and she was generous with her compliments.

Her flattery made the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess very comfortable.

"Princess, you are indeed sensible and virtuous. I am relieved to have you by the side of the prince to assist him."

Lin Wanqing lowered her brows and said docilely, "I am only doing my duty."

After chatting for a while, Xia Yiyi suddenly pulled Lin Wanqing to the garden.

"Princess, I heard that you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Could you give me some pointers?"

She blinked her eyes and looked at Lin Wanqing with admiration.

Lin Wanqing smiled and nodded: "Your Highness, I am too kind. I only have a superficial understanding."

Seeing this, Lu Shengyuan frowned slightly.

Although the princess is talented, she is cowardly. She is afraid that she will suffer if she is provoked by Xia Yiyi.

However, unexpectedly, Lin Wanqing was not stage fright.

She pulled Xia Yiyi to the piano table and sat down gracefully.

She stroked the strings with her slender fingers, and then a string of melodious music flowed out.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

They didn't expect that Lin Wanqing's piano skills were so superb!

Even Lu Shengyuan couldn't help but look at her twice more.

After the song ended, Xia Yiyi couldn't help but applaud.

"Princess, your piano skills are truly amazing! Can I come and practice with you more often in the future?"

Lin Wanqing smiled and nodded: "You are welcome anytime."

Xia Yiyi was as happy as a child, and pulled Lin Wanqing to the pavilion in the garden to drink tea.

Lu Shengyuan frowned even more tightly as he looked at the two people talking happily.

He suddenly stood up and walked towards the pavilion.

"I still have some official business to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

He left without looking back after saying this.

She withdrew her gaze and continued chatting with Xia Yiyi.

The two chatted very happily and before they knew it, it was lunch time.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess invited Lin Wanqing to dine with them, and she gladly agreed.

During the meal, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess kept serving food to Lin Wanqing, their enthusiasm almost overwhelming her.

Xia Yiyi was stunned watching from the side and couldn't help but say, "Princess, you are amazing! Why didn't I realize you were so likable before?"

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly when he heard this.

"My Lord, you are too kind. I am just doing what I should do."

She knew very well that the reason the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were so kind to her was because she was still of use to them.

As long as she is the princess, they will never treat her unfairly.
