"Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness's Consort." Shen Xuan bowed to Shen Pei and Song Siyao.

If Shen Pei were not the Crown Prince, he would have to address him as "Second Brother" and bow to him according to the order of seniority.

Because Shen Pei was the crown prince, he always felt inferior to Shen Pei whenever he saw him.

Shen Pei simply nodded slightly.

He was fully aware of the little tricks Shen Xuan and Jiang Yu were up to behind the scenes, but since they hadn't gained any advantage, he couldn't be bothered to intervene.

“Your Highness, since we’ve already met them, let’s go to the palace together to pay our respects to the Emperor.”

Shen Xuan noticed Shen Pei's indifference towards him, but he didn't care.

Shen Pei simply nodded, without saying a word.

A fire suddenly ignited in Shen Xuan's heart, but he had to go see Emperor Changlong immediately and could not argue with Shen Peiqi.

"Your Highness, we've only just gotten married, and you've already angered His Highness. He hasn't said a word."

Jiang Yu didn't dare to speak directly to Shen Pei, so she went to Song Siyao instead.

She was insanely jealous of Song Siyao.

She had just seen Shen Pei help Song Siyao down from the carriage by holding her hand. With Song Siyao's martial arts skills, what harm would it do for her to jump down from such a low carriage?

Song Siyao looked at Jiang Yu, "Princess Consort Li, did you vomit blood yesterday and make yourself stupid? Which eye of yours saw that the Crown Prince was unhappy?"

Jiang Yu looked embarrassed when the topic of vomiting blood yesterday came up.

"Your Highness, don't be so fierce. According to the order of seniority, I'm practically your sister-in-law. It's not unreasonable for me to show concern, is it?"

Jiang Yu looked dignified, but the way she looked at Song Siyao made it seem like Song Siyao was cursing.

"Does the Prince of Li think so too?" Song Siyao asked Shen Xuan.

"Your Highness!" Shen Xuan scolded Jiang Yu. Even before the marriage was officially arranged, he had already heard that Jiang Yu was in love with Shen Pei.

Seeing Jiang Yu care for Shen Pei with his own eyes, even though he didn't like Jiang Yu, he couldn't tolerate her behavior.

After reprimanding Jiang Yu, he looked at Song Siyao and said, "Princess Consort, this is a misunderstanding."

He then looked at Shen Pei, "Your Highness, let's go."

"Prince Li, keep your people in check. If you can't control them, don't release them!" Shen Pei's voice was icy.

"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Xuan had to apologize even after being scolded by Shen Pei.

The four of them walked toward the Imperial Study.

"My son has met my father."

"Your Majesty, I, your humble daughter-in-law, greet you."

The four men bowed to Emperor Changlong.

"No need for formalities." Emperor Changlong looked at the four people with a kind and gentle expression.

At that time, he was just an old father.

"Now that you two brothers are married and have your own families, you must live in harmony and respect and love each other."

"Yes, Father Emperor," Shen Pei and Shen Xuan replied.

After meeting Emperor Changlong, the four of them went to Consort Jia's palace.

Currently, Consort Jia is in charge of the six palaces.

"Greetings, Consort Jia." The four bowed in unison.

"Congratulations, Crown Prince and Crown Princess, Princess Consort of Li." Consort Jia handed out red envelopes to the four of them.

Consort De was Shen Xuan's birth mother, and Shen Xuan and Jiang Yu served her tea separately.

The mother and son deliberately acted very affectionately, intending to hurt and embarrass Shen Pei.

Consort Jia couldn't stand it any longer and sent Song Siyao and Shen Pei away. "Crown Prince, Crown Princess, you should go back and get some rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Siyao and Shen Pei left.

While Shen Xuan was still talking to Consort De, Consort Jia scolded Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu left the palace with a belly full of grievances.

"Your Highness, Consort Jia just criticized me, and you didn't even help me," Jiang Yu complained.

“As a royal daughter-in-law, Consort Jia manages the six palaces. She said you weren’t wrong.” Shen Xuan didn’t take it seriously.

Jiang Yu asked indignantly, "They're both royal daughters-in-law, so why doesn't she call herself the Crown Princess?"

Shen Xuan looked at Jiang Yu speechlessly, "The Crown Princess is the savior of Consort Jia and her son, how could she possibly speak ill of the Crown Princess?"

Jiang Yu pursed her lips and remained silent.

No matter how glorious Song Siyao was in the past, she will definitely surpass Song Siyao in the future, trample her underfoot, and ruthlessly grind her down.

After Jiang Yu boarded the carriage, Shen Xuan instructed the driver, "Take the princess back to the palace."

The coachman replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Jiang asked in confusion, "Your Highness, aren't you going back?"

"I have something to attend to." Shen Xuan's tone was indifferent. With a single glance, the coachman drove the carriage away at high speed.

Caught off guard, Jiang Yu swayed and nearly fell.

She gritted her teeth, her face full of anger.

Once she gives birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, she will definitely beat these snobbish servants to death.

Three days later.

It was the day Jiang Yu and Song Siyao returned to their parents' home.

Leaving the palace.

After their wedding night, Shen Xuan stayed in the study, preoccupied with his work.

When Jiang Yu got up and saw that her pillow was empty again, she felt extremely cold inside, and resentment burned in her eyes.

But today is the day for the bride to return to her parents' home.

She had to dress up beautifully before going back, so that the people in the Prime Minister's residence wouldn't laugh at her.

After dressing up, she went straight to find Shen Xuan.

"Your Highness, today is the day for your return to your parents' home. Please come back with me," Jiang Yu told Shen Xuan.

"I see."

Shen Xuan would certainly not refuse to go to the Prime Minister's residence.

He could neglect Jiang Yu in the Prince's mansion, but he would never show her the slightest coldness in the Prime Minister's mansion.

The main gate of the Prime Minister's residence.

Prime Minister Jiang and the entire household welcomed Jiang Yu and Shen Xuan.

"Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness." Prime Minister Jiang bowed.

"Father-in-law, there's no need for such formalities." Shen Xuan returned half a bow to Prime Minister Jiang, and then said to Madam Jiang, "Greetings, Mother-in-law."

"Your Highness," Madam Jiang returned the greeting with a smile.

Jiang Yu looked at Shen Xuan and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Shen Xuan not only did not refuse to come back with her, but also prepared generous gifts and used a separate carriage to transport her.

"Father, Mother," Jiang Yu greeted Jiang Xiang and Madam Jiang.

Jiang Xiang nodded.

Madam Jiang took Jiang Yu's hand and said softly, "Yu'er, seeing how attentive and considerate the Prince is to you, your father and I are relieved."

When they got off the carriage, Shen Xuan personally led Jiang Yu down, being very careful so that she wouldn't fall.

It is said that love is hidden in the details, and Shen Xuan's love for Jiang Yu is impossible to hide.

But what can't be hidden? As long as you're good at disguising yourself, you can fool everyone.

Jiang Yu glanced at Shen Xuan, who was talking to Jiang Xiang, and a slight smirk appeared on her lips, full of sarcasm.

But it doesn't matter. What she wanted was never Shen Xuan's love, but the identity of Princess Li.

As long as Shen Xuan is still willing to act, in front of outsiders, they will be a loving couple.

By taking advantage of Shen Xuan's influence, she could act like a fox borrowing the tiger's might, and use Shen Xuan as a vine to climb all the way up to the pinnacle of life.

"Mother, don't worry, the Prince treats me very well," Jiang Yu comforted Madam Jiang.

"Good, good. I'm relieved that you're doing well." Madam Jiang smiled from ear to ear. "The Prince treats you well, so you must be sensible, know the rules, and be a good Princess Consort."

"Yes, Mother." Jiang Yu smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. What she needed to do was not just be the Princess Consort.

Led by Shen Xuan, the group entered the Prime Minister's residence.
