The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

Jiang Yu also heard about what happened at the milk tea shop yesterday.

She hadn't expected Song Siyao to be so capable, actually managing to imprison Wei Hongjin in the imperial prison.

The entire capital knew that Emperor Changlong was the Son of Heaven, yet he still had to give the Empress Dowager some face.

As long as ***'s requests were not excessive, Emperor Changlong would grant them.

Therefore, there used to be a saying in the capital: "If you offend Emperor Changlong, your entire family will be executed."

If you offend the ***, your entire family will be reduced to ashes.

Song Siyao actually snatched the cub of that vicious tiger and escaped unscathed.

It's easy to imagine how shrewd Song Siyao's methods are.

Jiang Yu shuddered as she thought about these things.

To deal with Song Siyao, her current status and strength are not enough. She must stand higher, so that she can step on Song Siyao's head with one foot, crush her under her feet, and grind her down until Song Siyao is shattered to pieces.

Jiang Yu felt her blood rush and she was extremely excited when she thought about the scene of taking revenge on Song Siyao in the future.

She suppressed her joy, hiding her anticipation and excitement in her heart, and greeted Song Siyao calmly, "Princess Youfeng, what a coincidence, I really didn't expect that the Princess Consort of Zhen would also invite you."

Song Siyao stared at Jiang Yu, seeing not only Jiang Yu's facial expression, but also her inner thoughts.

As the saying goes, "The face reflects the heart." No matter how much Jiang Yu tried to restrain herself or pretend, the hatred in her heart was revealed through her eyes and on her face.

However, Jiang Yu had just suffered a great loss at his hands yesterday, yet today he was able to suppress his hatred and speak to him calmly. This ability to restrain himself was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Hearing Jiang Yu's sarcastic words, Song Siyao immediately retorted, "The Princess Consort of Zhen invited you out of politeness, but I didn't expect you to dare to come."

“Princess Youfeng, yesterday’s events were a misunderstanding. You’ve already punished me, aren’t you still not satisfied?” Jiang Yu’s expression was dignified, her eyes showing a hint of grievance, but also a touch of boldness and courage.

Even if what happened yesterday was her fault, as long as Song Siyao dares to say another word, she has the ability to turn herself from a persecutor into a victim.

Just then, guests began to arrive one after another.

"If you're still not satisfied, you can hit me or yell at me as you please."

Song Siyao smiled coldly, "Miss Jiang, beatings and scoldings are just physical pain that you'll forget afterward. But if I just blacklist you, rendering any skills you learn useless, wouldn't that cause you even more pain?"

Jiang Yu pursed her lips. Most people, when faced with this situation, would immediately explain how they could possibly punish her, and might even shake hands with her to make peace, showing their magnanimity.

What's past is past. To keep dwelling on it makes one seem petty, lacking in common sense, and is a shameful act.

If Song Siyao says what she expected, she will then take the opportunity to ask Song Siyao to retract yesterday's punishment and stop blacklisting her.

In front of so many people, Song Siyao had no choice but to agree to her request in order to save face, and thus, her goal was achieved.

But Song Siyao didn't play by the rules. Doesn't she have any shame? Doesn't she care what others think of her?

While Jiang was pondering this, someone stepped forward to speak up for her.

"I've always heard that Princess Youfeng is kind-hearted, benevolent, and generous. But after meeting her today, I can see that the rumors are just that—rumors. She is far more than the rumors suggest."

The one speaking was Princess Ping.

Princess Ping was dressed in a dark blue royal robe, with a jade hairpin in her hair, and looked very kind.

She was born into a scholarly family, was well-read, and had an air of refinement about her. She appeared gentle, dignified, virtuous, and upright.

King Ping was renowned for his virtue, and his wife's appearance was indeed befitting her status.

However, what the world sees is only the surface.

"I greet my uncle and aunt." Jiang Yu stepped forward and bowed to Prince Ping and Princess Ping.

Prince Ping, dressed in casual clothes, stood beside his wife, handsome and refined, like a pine tree, noble and pure.

At first glance, the couple is a beautiful sight to behold; they are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

They truly are a model couple of the Great Zhou royal family.

Princess Ping and Jiang Yu's mother were sisters. She had no daughters and always doted on Jiang Yu, so she couldn't bear to see Jiang Yu suffer any injustice.

"Yu'er, come to your aunt." Princess Ping beckoned to Jiang Yu.

"Yes, Aunt."

Jiang Yu moved to Princess Ping's side, looked at her with a faint smile on her lips, and was well-behaved and charming, with a touch of girlish coquettishness, completely different from her usual self.

“My son has grown taller again, but he’s also gotten much thinner than when I last saw him. Has he not been eating properly again?”

Princess Ping took Jiang Yu's hand, gently patted the back of her hand, her face full of affection, "During our time in the capital, you will stay at the Prince Ping's residence. Firstly, you can keep me company, and secondly, I will have the cook prepare some delicious food for you to fatten you up a bit."

"Okay, Yu'er is willing to stay with Auntie, but what if I get fat and ugly?" Jiang Yu said with a smile, her tone slightly coquettish.

"So what if you've gained weight? We've never relied on our looks to make a living. We rely on our talents. Even if we can't do anything, as long as your aunt is around, you'll still enjoy endless wealth and luxury."

When Princess Ping said this, she glanced at Song Siyao with a sarcastic look in her eyes, "Unlike some people who rely on beauty, beauty will eventually fade with age, and what they gain by relying on beauty will eventually be lost. That's when their good days will come to an end."

She asked gently, "Princess Youfeng, what do you think?"

This blatant provocation made Jiang Yu feel incredibly satisfied; Princess Ping had finally helped her vent her anger.

Princess Ping is renowned for her beauty; if Song Siyao dares to disrespect her, her reputation will surely be ruined.

More and more people gathered around, and all eyes were on Song Siyao, watching to see how she would break the deadlock.

To advance would earn one a reputation for disrespect, while retreating would mean willingly suffering public humiliation.

No matter which way she goes, it seems like Song Siyao is the loser.

"Your Highness is right. However, you speak from your own experience, not hesitating to expose your own shortcomings and warn the world that a woman without talent, beauty, or virtue will ultimately not have a good life. Your courage and frankness are truly admirable."

Song Siyao's face was full of sincerity, as if everything she said came from the bottom of her heart.

But upon closer listening, something just didn't make sense.

"Are you insulting me, Princess Consort, by saying I am talentless, unattractive, and immoral?" Princess Consort Ping's eyes were cold, and her tone became several degrees harsher.

"I'm praising you, Your Highness," Song Siyao said casually, a smile playing on her lips.

"How dare you! Do you think I'm stupid?" Princess Ping was enraged by Song Siyao's attitude.

"I've heard that the Princess is gentle and likes sincere people the most. I was just telling the truth. Why is the Princess angry?"

Song Siyao looked helpless and sighed, "It seems that the rumors are unreliable. The princess is far worse than the rumors suggest."
