The princess was fed contraceptive soup on the day of the marriage exchange, and she went crazy

When Sheng Nanzhi heard this, he suddenly laughed out loud.

This laugh made Sheng Qingqian unhappy: "What are you laughing at, big sister?"

Sheng Nanzhi wanted to laugh again: "Third sister, if you want to consolidate your position, can you only rely on giving birth to a child for Wen Tingyun?"

Probably because of what happened in the Mu Mansion in her previous life, Sheng Qingqian seemed to have completely gone astray in her rebirth.

She wanted status and position, so she tried her best to marry Wen Tingyun, who was crowned as the crown prince in her previous life. She even went so far as to secretly replace the bride on the wedding day.

In order to consolidate her position, she found ways to get pregnant with Wen Tingyun's child.

Recalling what happened some time ago, she even suspected that Sheng Qingqian was a child she exchanged with Wen Tingyun for some things she knew about her previous life.

But Sheng Qingqian had no idea that the reason Wen Tingyun was able to obtain the position of Crown Prince in his previous life was because of her...

"What's wrong?"

"Otherwise, what should I rely on?"

"By birth? By beauty?"

"My father is the prime minister of the dynasty. Although I am a concubine's daughter, my family background is not low. As for beauty..."

Her eyes fell on Sheng Nanzhi's face, and a hint of jealousy and contempt flashed in her eyes.

"You are prettier than me, but you still can't keep his heart, right?"

"As your beauty fades, there will always be women younger and more beautiful than you. What can I use to compete with them?"

"As long as I give birth to a legitimate son, I'll have someone to rely on, and my position will naturally be secure."

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes and curled her lips. If Sheng Qingqian wanted wealth and glory, she would only think of relying on men's favor. If she wanted to maintain her position, she would only think of relying on her family background, beauty, and children.

But I never thought about relying on myself, my own abilities, and my own talents.

Men, how can you be reliable?

Sheng Qingqian snorted and laughed: "You are just jealous of me."

"I'm jealous because I got something that you couldn't get even in your previous life."

"However, I have been good enough to you. I was reborn earlier than you, but I still arranged a Sixth Prince for you."

"Didn't you also become the Princess of Yi because of the child in your belly? How are you any better than me?"

"The only difference between you and me is that my husband will become the crown prince and eventually the emperor. But your husband can only lie there until he dies."

"My son, like his father, will become a crown prince and then an emperor."

"But your son will only become a crown prince, and eventually a prince of a branch of the royal family."

Sheng Nanzhi said nothing, but just raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Then I wish my sister's dream come true in advance."

"Sister, if you become the Crown Princess, the Queen, or the Queen Mother, please don't forget to take care of me."

Sheng Qingqian curled her lips, feeling a little depressed. Talking to Sheng Nanzhi about these things always felt like punching cotton. Sheng Nanzhi seemed to not care at all and refused to accept the attack.

Are you pretending?

Sheng Qingqian gritted her teeth. She must have been filled with hatred and jealousy.

But I was afraid of looking down on her, so I could only pretend not to care.

Thinking of this, Sheng Qingqian felt a little better.

"Why are you organizing a lotus viewing banquet?"

"Just to celebrate the revelation of the truth about Prince Yi's hidden weapons?"

Sheng Nanzhi nodded and smiled, "I'm different from my sister. I don't have such lofty ambitions. As my sister said, after I marry Prince Yi, my future life is almost set in stone."

"Without worries, with wealth and leisure, I am perfectly content."

"That incident that happened suddenly really scared me."

"Now that the truth has finally come to light, my life can finally return to its former peace, which is naturally worth celebrating."

"Besides..." Sheng Nanzhi pointed to the lotus-filled lake in front of her: "Sister, don't you think this scenery is really beautiful? Beautiful things should be shared with others."

As Sheng Nanzhi was speaking, a servant came hurriedly to report: "Princess, the guests have arrived one after another."

"Aunt Jinxin is welcoming guests at the gate and will bring them over soon."

Sheng Nanzhi nodded, her eyes curved, "Then sister, shall we go to the lake island and wait?"

When we arrived at the island in the middle of the lake and just sat down at the banquet hall, Jin Xin came with her people.

As the guest approached, Sheng Nanzhi felt that Sheng Qingqian, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stiffened.

Sheng Nanzhi looked over and saw her staring fiercely at the guests who were passing by, her eyes full of hatred.

Seeing her reaction, Sheng Nanzhi almost immediately knew who the visitor was.

She looked up and saw Mrs. Mu and the two Miss Mu, whom she had met several times in her previous life.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Sheng Qingqian gritted her teeth and lowered her voice.

"What did your sister say on purpose?"

She looked at the group of people walking towards her across the corridor, and suddenly realized: "Ah, sister, are you talking about Madam Mu and the two Miss Mu?"

"My sister really wronged me."

"I'm going to hold a banquet, so of course I have to send out invitations. I've already sent invitations to all the ladies and young ladies who are a little bit famous in the city. General Mu is the most powerful military commander in the court, so of course I have to send him an invitation."

"But Prince Yi is unconscious in bed, so I'm afraid not many people can come."

"I didn't expect that Madam Mu would actually give me this kind of face?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Xin approached with her men.

"Princess, the Duke's wife from the Duke of Qing's residence, Madam Mu and Miss Mu from the Mighty General's residence, Madam Wen from the residence of Lord Wen of the Imperial Observatory, and Old Madam Liu from the Liu residence of the Censorate are here."

Several people greeted Sheng Nanzhi, who responded with a smile and asked them to sit down.

People came one after another, and in the end there were only about sixteen or seventeen people.

Everyone gathered and the banquet began.

Sheng Nanzhi's eyes curved. "Some time ago, some messy things were found in the mansion. I was terrified at the time. Later, His Majesty investigated and it turned out that our mansion was wrongly accused."

"I think this is a good thing. The lotus flowers in the palace have just bloomed, so I'd like to invite everyone over to enjoy them together. Also, I haven't been back to the imperial city for long, and I haven't attended many banquets. I've been married into Prince Yi's palace for a few months now, so I thought I'd hold a banquet so everyone can get to know each other."

"There aren't many people here today, and I don't have any rules here, so don't be restrained."

As soon as Sheng Nanzhi finished speaking, Madam Mu nodded and agreed, "It's time to celebrate."

"Even my son was implicated in that incident. Fortunately, he was proven innocent in the end."

"I was terrified, too."

Sheng Nanzhi's eyebrows curved, and she glanced at Sheng Qingqian with a half-smile: "Young General Mu is lucky. The truth was revealed as soon as he was brought back to the imperial city. It is indeed worth celebrating."

"Just talking and admiring the lotus is boring, so I invited some people to sing and dance, and we can all look at it together."

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyes and gave Jinxin a look. Jinxin clapped her hands, and the sound of stringed instruments rang out on the lake...
