After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

From now on, the position of First-Rank Imperial Lady can only belong to her!

Ye Qingwu had just returned to the Prince's Mansion when she heard a reprimand.

A woman was seen being stopped outside by guards, her hands on her hips, looking very annoyed.

"How dare you stop this princess! Be careful, or I'll tell my father and have you all punished!"

Or is she a princess?

Ye Qingwu glanced over there but didn't go forward. Instead, she went straight into the mansion.

I had only taken a few steps when I heard a shout from behind me.

"stop!"

The woman pointed in Ye Qingwu's direction and said urgently, "If you won't let this princess in, why are you letting a woman of unknown origin into the manor!"

A cold wind blocked Ye Qingwu's path and addressed the woman who was throwing a tantrum, "Sixth Princess, the woman before you is not some unknown person, but your Emperor's, Prince's, Princess Consort."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty's Aunt?" Zhan Siwan was stunned, looking at Ye Qingwu with disbelief and hostility in her eyes.

"I merely accompanied my grandmother to Mount Wutai to pray for blessings, and yet my uncle has already taken a wife?"

How could this be...?

She doesn't acknowledge any imperial aunt!

Seeing that Ye Qingwu continued to move forward without paying any attention to her, Zhan Siwan became even more furious. Ignoring the guards' attempts to stop her, she rushed to Ye Qingwu and blocked her path.

"I told you to stop right there, did you hear me?"

Ye Qingwu calmly looked at the person with the gaze, naturally not ignoring the hostility she felt towards her.

"Is there anything else, Sixth Princess?"

"I……"

Zhan Siwan was taken aback, clearly stumped by Ye Qingwu's words, as if she had blocked this person's path simply because the other party had ignored her.

With so many people watching, Zhan Siwan felt that if she didn't say something, it would be a loss of face for her as a princess.

"Since you are my royal uncle's wife, you should quickly send these guards away and not delay my meeting with my royal uncle."

"Sixth Princess, the Prince has been unwell lately, you should go back."

Leng Feng understood the situation and spoke to Zhan Siwan.

"No way! This princess has finally managed to leave the palace, and I will not leave until I see my royal uncle!" Zhan Siwan said firmly with a cold snort.

"Hey, did you hear what I just said?"

Seeing that the princess was still being unreasonable, Ye Qingwu narrowed her eyes and spoke in a cold and distant tone.

"Sixth Princess, since you come from the palace, you should know better what the rules are."

"And I am your royal aunt."

As a princess, Zhan Siwan was usually fawned over by everyone around her, and hearing Ye Qingwu's words only fueled her anger.

"What imperial aunt? It's just a fluke. Let me tell you, the only one who is worthy of my imperial uncle is Sister Su Yan!"

"Sixth Princess, you must not be disrespectful to the Princess Consort!" Leng Feng's expression darkened as he reminded Zhan Siwan.

Zhan Siwan disagreed, "What? Am I wrong? If Sister Su Yan weren't away from the capital, how could she have gotten this marriage!"

"Leng Feng, please escort the Sixth Princess out."

Ye Qingwu said coldly,

"This palace doesn't belong to you, so what right do you have to make decisions for your uncle!"

"Please come this way, Sixth Princess."

Having received the order, Leng Feng no longer held back and led his men to Zhan Siwan.

"The imperial physician said that His Highness needs to rest and recuperate. Has the Sixth Princess considered the consequences if His Majesty finds out that she is making such a fuss?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Siwan clearly hesitated. "Fine, I'll leave then."

"But apart from Sister Su Yan, this princess will never acknowledge her as my royal aunt!"

Zhan Siwan glared fiercely at Ye Qingwu before leaving with her entourage.

Only after Zhan Siwan left did Leng Feng and the guards in the mansion breathe a sigh of relief.

Every time the sixth princess came, it would cause quite a stir.

“Your Highness, this sixth princess is the daughter of the Noble Consort. She has returned from praying for blessings outside the palace with the Empress Dowager these past few days. You don’t need to take her words to heart.”

"As for Su Yan, whom she mentioned, she was just..."

"Send the medicinal herbs to the kitchen to be decocted."

Ye Qingwu spoke calmly, as if what had just happened had no effect on her.

In her eyes, the sixth princess was nothing more than a spoiled little girl.

As for the fact that Su Yan has some kind of relationship with Zhan Sijing, so what?

Her relationship with Zhan Sijing was purely cooperative; she had no interest in his private affairs.

After instructing Leng Feng, Ye Qingwu arrived at the courtyard where Zhan Sijing was, but found the house empty when she pushed it open.

He's not here?

study.

"Your Majesty."

Leng Feng entered the study and respectfully bowed to the person there.

"Has the Sixth Princess returned to the palace?"

“Yes.” Leng Feng nodded. “It’s just that the Sixth Princess said a lot of disrespectful things to the Princess Consort, and also mentioned Miss Su Yan.”

Zhan Sijing paused, his gaze falling on Leng Feng. After a long silence, he asked, "What was her reaction?"

"The princess did not ask any further questions, not even to the sixth princess."

"Not even a single question?"

Zhan Sijing lowered his eyes, feeling inexplicably disappointed. Leng Feng nodded, thinking of Ye Qingwu's expression at the time, and felt that she didn't care more than she asked.

But if the prince says it out loud, he will probably feel even more disappointed.

"How is the situation at the Duke's mansion?"

After a long silence, Zhan Sijing asked Leng Feng.

"Your Highness, I have found that although the Princess Consort is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion, she has been suppressed openly and secretly by the Duke Ye's second wife. Her treatment is probably much better than that of a maid."

"And the second young lady of the Duke's mansion is even more vulgar in her behavior."

No wonder the princess wanted to sever ties with those people from the Duke's mansion; it's better not to stay in such a place.

Seeing the hidden meaning in Leng Feng's words, Zhan Sijing asked again, "Did you and the Princess encounter anything when you left the manor?"

Leng Feng nodded and then recounted his experiences along the way.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Sijing lowered his eyes. It seemed that his princess's abilities far exceeded his expectations.

"Your Highness, what should we do with the information we've gathered about the Duke's mansion?"

Leng Feng looked at Zhan Sijing, awaiting his command.

"Since the Duke's mansion has been unkind to her, there is no need to leave any room for maneuver; we should send her to the palace."

Upon learning that the Duke's mansion wanted to arrange a marriage exchange, he ordered his men to keep a close eye on Ye Xuan, as well as the corrupt and illegal things Ye Xuan had done in the court over the years.

The reason it wasn't exposed was largely due to the appearance of Ye Qingwu.

Now that this has happened, there's nothing left to worry about.

It also lets these people know that his queen is not someone to be trifled with.

Ye Qingwu stayed in Zhan Sijing's room for a while, and when she didn't see Zhan Sijing return, she couldn't help but feel strange.

I suddenly remembered what Leng Feng had said, and the appearance of the Sixth Princess.

Since this person had returned from outside the palace with the Empress Dowager to pray for blessings, he should have known about the Regent's marriage to the Princess long ago, and shouldn't have looked so surprised.

Moreover, on the second day after I entered the Prince's mansion, a nanny came with the Empress Dowager's order for me to find a way to preserve my bloodline.
