"You fool me?"

The woman turned around and questioned Yu Guiwan, her face full of resentment after being deceived.

Yu Guiwan almost laughed out loud at her expression, "Third Princess, you're really joking. It's obvious that you came here and believed that I was Princess Yong'an. I've already explained it once, but you just didn't believe it."

Yu Guiwan really didn't expect that the people around the Third Prince, a man who was good at strategizing, were actually so simple. Their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were all written on their faces, and they didn't seem to have any scheming at all.

Hearing Yu Guiwan's words, she was choked for a moment, but she still spoke with courage: "You could have told me your identity directly, but you didn't say anything."

"Didn't you think I could be blamed for this?"

Yu Guiwan looked at her with a sincere look. The woman was stared at by Yu Guiwan, and the words she wanted to say suddenly stopped coming out.

Forget it, she went to find the real culprit.

Thinking of this, she was about to go towards Xie Zhiyi. At this time, Yu Guiwan spoke.

"I advise the princess not to go to Yong'an. She has a bad temper."

Yu Guiwan could only remind them to this extent. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Xia Kingdom naturally stood on the side of the Crown Prince by marrying Princess Yong'an to the Crown Prince. Everyone in the Zhao Kingdom knew that although the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were on good terms on the surface.

In fact, they had fought each other countless times in secret.

Although we are currently cooperating with the Third Prince, we cannot do it too obviously.

After hearing what Yu Guiwan said, she still hesitated for a moment. When she went out today, His Highness reminded her to be polite to Princess Chen from Xia State. After all, the marriage between Xia State and Zhao State was already a fact at this time.

If they offend the Xia Kingdom, it will probably be disadvantageous to them in the future.

But in the end, she still walked towards Xie Zhiyi, and Yu Guiwan did not try to stop her. As long as the two of them did not make things too embarrassing, she would not step in to stop them. After all, the palace was presided over by the Queen.

Now that we are on someone else's territory, we should be careful.

"I guess this is Princess Yong'an from the Xia Kingdom?" She walked up to Xie Zhiyi and stopped her.

Xie Zhiyi looked at the strange woman in front of him, confused. The palace maid beside her hurriedly said, "This is the Third Imperial Concubine."

"What's up?"

"It's nothing serious. I just wanted to remind Princess Yong'an that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has countless concubines around him, and he will have to take some time to manage them in the future, so I wanted to inform the princess in advance."

"Oh, so what?"

Xie Zhiyi answered indifferently, looking at the woman in front of him, he felt that she was inexplicable.

This answer made the smile on the Third Princess' face freeze.

"I haven't married the Crown Prince yet, so why should I worry about these things? Even if I marry the Crown Prince in the future, I won't care about these concubines. After all, a Crown Princess should be tolerant and generous."

Xie Zhiyi spoke confidently on the surface, but in his heart he was saying, what does that have to do with me?

Even if I marry the prince in the future, he will live his own life. What does it have to do with me?

The Third Prince's wife was so shocked by Xie Zhiyi's words that she stood there in a daze. She couldn't say anything in rebuttal for a long time. Instead, at this moment, a voice of praise came from not far away.

"Well said, you are worthy of being the legitimate princess of Xia Country. Such a noble demeanor is extraordinary."

The person who was speaking was wearing gorgeous palace clothes and a phoenix crown on her head, and she had an elegant and noble temperament.

This is the Queen of Zhao. The Queen looked at Xie Zhiyi with eyes full of satisfaction and love. Her child needed such a princess to help him achieve great things.

"Mingjiao, it's rare for you to come to the palace. I haven't seen you for a long time." Queen Zhao looked at the third imperial concubine, and her originally kind smile immediately became serious, as if her eyes were warning her.

"I've met my mother."

Yao Mingjiao immediately subsided, transforming into a frail little white rabbit. His Highness had said that whenever the Queen appeared before her, she should just play dumb and not say anything else.

She has always kept His Highness' instructions in mind and has rarely entered the palace in recent years. After all, the current Queen is not His Highness's biological mother, so naturally she does not often enter the palace.

"Get up."

Queen Zhao did not get angry immediately, but smiled kindly instead.

Yu Guiwan then walked over and said, "Yu Guiwan greets the Queen." As she spoke, she performed the standard Xia etiquette.

"This must be the Princess of Chen, right? When you two stand together, you look more like sisters." Queen Zhao looked at Yu Guiwan and Xie Zhiyi and spoke with a smile.

"The Queen is so impressed."

Yu Guiwan said politely.

"Everyone is here. Come with me to see the newly cultivated peonies." As she said this, the queen directly took Xie Zhiyi's hand, which made Xie Zhiyi look slightly stunned.

But soon, Xie Zhiyi regained his smile and followed Queen Zhao.

Everyone present today witnessed this scene. In their eyes, Xie Zhiyi was now a foregone conclusion as to who would become the Crown Princess. After the flower viewing banquet, the Empress sent many gifts to Xie Zhiyi.

Someone was specially sent to deliver the things to the post station in advance.

……

After getting on the carriage back to the post station, Xie Zhiyi finally relaxed. "Finally left that damn place." She complained and twisted her neck, although she liked gorgeous headdresses.

But she really couldn't end it in Zhao State. It was too much and too heavy.

Yu Guiwan looked at her like this but didn't say anything, but just reminded her, "You have to be careful of the Queen, don't fall into her gentle arms." Now the Queen's behavior is all for the power of Xia Country.

This is because she is Princess Yong'an.

Before arriving in Zhao State, the reputation of this Crown Prince was already well-known far and wide. He was extremely dissolute all day long, but he was deeply loved by King Zhao, which is why he was able to sit on the throne of Crown Prince for so many years.

So they needed someone with a strong background to be the Crown Princess, someone who could assist the Crown Prince.

"I know."

Xie Zhiyi agreed obediently, which was rare. After the last incident, her temper had calmed down a lot and she was no longer like when she first came.

"There won't be anything to do in the next few days. If you want to go out, you can go for a walk."

Seeing her like this, Yu Guiwan told her the good news.

"Really?"

Xie Zhiyi's eyes lit up. After being locked up in the post station for so many days, she felt like she was going to molder and she really wanted to go out and ride a horse.

"Yes, but you can't go far, understand?"

Yu Guiwan reminded her that the Queen would definitely send someone to protect Xie Zhiyi, and since the Third Prince also had someone protecting her, she was safe in Zhao State and didn't have to hide any longer.
