Shen Pei's future children will be either princes or princesses, of royal blood, and will absolutely not be allowed to have a different surname.

Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the royal family, and they would be accused of disrespecting the royal ancestors.

He never told Song Siyao about this idea.

Song Siyao looked surprised. She knew that Shen Pei was not one to make promises lightly. If he could say it, then he must have already made up his mind.

"Thank you, Shen Pei."

"Why are you being so polite with your husband?" Shen Pei smiled gently. "You endured the hardships of pregnancy for ten months, and the child carries half your blood. What's wrong with it taking your surname?"

What he said is true.

However, in this era, his statement was considered outrageous and could not be tolerated by the world.

“My husband is right,” Song Siyao said with a smile.

It's getting late.

Song Siyao and Shen Pei left the Duke's Mansion and returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion.

After her wedding, Song Siyao's life returned to normal.

The day after returning to her parents' home, Song Siyao went back to the academy to attend classes.

The Crown Prince's carriage stopped at the entrance of the academy.

Shen Pei said to Song Siyao, "Yaoyao, I'll come pick you up this afternoon."

“You’re so busy every day, you don’t need to pick me up. You can see me when you get home anyway.” Song Siyao felt sorry for Shen Pei.

"It's alright, I'm happy to pick up and drop off Yao Yao," Shen Pei said with a smile.

Song Siyao teased, "You're married now, but you still have such a sweet tongue."

“Of course, I love Yaoyao a day more today than I did yesterday. By that logic, my love for Yaoyao grows stronger every day.” Shen Pei gazed at Song Siyao with deep affection.

"Your Highness, you're getting better and better. At this rate, you'll be able to coax the moon down from the sky," Song Siyao laughed.

"That's probably impossible," Shen Pei said seriously.

Song Siyao asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Only Yaoyao understands my love, so it can only be given to Yaoyao." Shen Pei said seriously.

Song Siyao blushed with laughter, unable to continue speaking, "Okay, okay, you can come pick me up in a bit."

"Yes, my wife." Shen Pei said with a smug look on his face, like a child who had received his favorite candy.

Song Siyao quickly got off the carriage; she really didn't know what Shen Pei would say if she waited any longer.

Shen Pei looked at Song Siyao's flustered, girlish demeanor and smiled slightly.

His baby is absolutely adorable.

He longed to hold her in his arms day and night, to meld her into his very bones, and never be separated from her for a moment.

"I've met the Crown Princess."

As Song Si shook the carriage, he bumped into Lin Nan from the academy.

Lin Nan is the only daughter of Censor-in-Chief Lin, and she entered the academy at the beginning of this year.

"No need for formalities," Song Siyao said. "Mr. Lin, there is no Crown Princess in the academy, only Mr. Song. You can call me Mr. Song from now on."

"Yes, Mr. Song." Lin Nan was lively and charming.

Call!

At this moment, the carriage departing from the Prince's Palace arrived.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Jiang Yu stepped down from the carriage, just in time to see Lin Nan's radiant smile.

A few days ago, Jiang Yu had looked through the list of people who had helped her with her wedding, and Lin Nan's name was not on it.

Later, she found out that Lin Nan had actually gone to do Song Siyao's makeup.

Most of her colleagues at the academy would choose to do makeup for both her and Song Siyao at the same time.

Lin Nan's behavior was seen as disrespecting her.

After this incident, she, who already disliked Lin Nan, now found herself even more annoyed with him.

So, upon seeing Lin Nan, her face instantly turned cold, and she said sarcastically, "Some people should know when to curry favor. This is an academy, a place for teaching and nurturing people, clean and pure. Don't come here and defile this sacred place."

"With someone like you around, how can the academy possibly be clean?" Lin Nan retorted without any politeness.

"How dare you!" Jiang Yu's maid shouted angrily. "You dare to disrespect the Princess and even insult her! Mr. Lin, do you know your crime?"

Lin Nan smiled and said, "Which ear of yours heard me insulting your princess? Besides, the academy only has teachers. If you want to put on airs, go home!"

"You!" The maid had no chance against the quick-witted Lin Nan.

Jiang Yu's face turned even colder. "Everyone says that the Censor-in-Chief's family has a good reputation, but I never expected that his daughter would turn out like this. I'll have my prince ask the Censor-in-Chief if he can't even discipline his own daughter. What right does he have to lead the Censorate and impeach officials?"

She immediately escalated the conflict and shifted the focus of the argument.

They escalated their personal feud to the level of court officials.

Lin Nan was furious. She had been pampered since childhood. Her father held a high official position, and her maternal grandparents' family was wealthy. Even if her family did nothing now, her mother's dowry would be enough to ensure that three generations of her family would have no worries about food and clothing.

Therefore, Lin Nan is indeed somewhat arrogant.

She never took Jiang Yu seriously.

Jiang was not afraid of the conflict with the promotion, since her father's political affairs were not popular with the officials anyway, so one more person who disliked her would not matter.

Her father is upright and honest, so why would he be afraid of the Prince of Li?

So, she was about to retort to Jiang Yu right off the bat, "You told the Prince..."

Before she could finish speaking, Song Siyao interrupted her, "Mr. Jiang, before Prince Li goes to question the Censor-in-Chief, why not let the Censor-in-Chief go and see Prime Minister Jiang first? Prime Minister Jiang is the head of all officials. If he has raised his daughter like this, how can he assist the Emperor in governing the country?"

"Yes!" Lin Nan said with a smile. "Mr. Jiang, do you dare?"

Seeing that Song Siyao had knocked Jiang Yu down with just a few words, Lin Nan looked at Song Siyao with even more admiration.

Given her personality, all she wants in this life is to travel, enjoy life, and have fun.

But after witnessing Song Siyao's triumphant return from leading troops into battle, she fell irrevocably in love with her.

She felt that being born a woman meant she should live like Song Siyao to make her life worthwhile.

She took Song Siyao as her role model.

So she chose to become a teacher and tried to get closer to Song Siyao.

Jiang Yu's face turned ashen. Everyone in the court was afraid of the Censor-in-Chief. Even if they couldn't befriend him, they would never make enemies with him.

Once you're targeted by the Censor-in-Chief, you can forget about having a good life for the rest of your days.

Even if he resigned and returned to his hometown in his old age, if the Censor-in-Chief found any problems, the Censor-in-Chief would still impeach him to Emperor Changlong.

Unfortunately, the Imperial Censor was utterly loyal to Emperor Changlong and remained unmoved by any attempts to persuade him.

Someone once tried to bribe the Censor-in-Chief to curry favor with him, but the very next day, the Censor-in-Chief impeached that person.

From then on, no one dared to give gifts to the Censor-in-Chief.

Even if Jiang Yu had a thousand times the courage, she wouldn't dare let the Imperial Censor investigate her father.

"Mr. Lin, you'd better hold on tight to your backer and don't let me have any leverage over you!"

Jiang Yu, now the Princess Consort, is much more arrogant than before, and she's too lazy to even bother with pretense anymore.

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, I won't have any leverage over you," Lin Nan said smugly.

Jiang Yu gave a cold laugh, said nothing more, and walked straight towards the academy.

"Mr. Song, thank you so much for helping me out of that predicament," Lin Nan said.

"Don't mention it. She's targeting you, and I'm partly to blame for that."

Song Siyao knew that anyone who got close to her was a thorn in Jiang Yu's side.
