Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.

"Throughout history, only the eldest princess of our Great Yu Dynasty has been allowed to remain in the capital and establish her own residence; all the others have gone to their fiefdoms..."

Xie Jiayun took a step to the left, attempting to stop him.

"Your Excellency Xie is mistaken. I remember you once said that it is better to establish a virtuous and capable person than to establish a legitimate heir or the eldest son. The same applies to princesses. It is better to keep a virtuous and capable person than to keep a legitimate heir or the eldest son!"

Huo Jingxuan interrupted Xie Zhuguo before he could finish speaking.

Xie Jiayun was so angry that he was speechless, not expecting Huo Jingxuan to use his own words to shut him up.

"Your Majesty, issue the decree!"

Having subdued Xie Jiayun, Huo Jingxuan, dressed in a black and gold python robe, slowly walked to Jiang Gu's side and, in front of the entire court, ordered him to issue an imperial decree immediately.

Jiang Gu clenched his teeth tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Half of it was fear, and the other half was anger.

What difference is there between Huo Jingxuan's actions and his own drafting of imperial edicts? He was nothing more than a puppet in Huo Jingxuan's hands.

However, he currently has no way to contend with Huo Jingxuan and can only lie low and endure.

So even though he was so angry he felt terrible, he still had to put on a smiling face and act innocent.

"Uncle is right. We shall bestow the title of Princess Yong'an upon the Seventh Princess Jiang Xi and allow her to leave the palace to establish her own residence in the capital!"

After the court session, Jiang Xi and Huo Jingxuan walked out of the palace gate side by side.

At this moment, the Fifth Princess Jiang Yuan, dressed in a pink light-colored dress, chased after them.

"Uncle, wait a moment..."

Jiang Xi and Huo Jingxuan stopped at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.

Jiang Yuan, accompanied by palace maids, had already arrived before them.

Upon hearing that Huo Jingxuan had returned to the capital, Jiang Yuan was eager to see him, so she waited at the palace gate early in the morning.

Only when she got closer did she realize that there was another person next to Huo Jingxuan, and that person was none other than Jiang Xi, whom she hated the most.

"Didn't you jump off a cliff? How come you're still alive?"

Compared to her admiration for Huo Jingxuan, Jiang Yuan's dislike for Jiang Xi was far more dominant.

So, disregarding the person he loved in front of him, he couldn't help but put on a sour face and question Jiang Xi.

“I’m going to live for thousands of years to come, how can I die so soon?” Jiang Xi retorted.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan was furious. Seeing Jiang Xi standing so close to Huo Jingxuan, she couldn't help but push her away.

He grabbed Huo Jingxuan's sleeve, as if asserting his dominance.

"You probably don't know this since you're not in the capital, but my elder brother has already arranged a marriage between me and my uncle, and the wedding date is set for the ninth day of the ninth month this year!"

The ninth day of the ninth lunar month? It's currently the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, so there are only about four months left.

"Congratulations!"

Jiang Xi said something expressionlessly.

Jiang Yuan deliberately showed off: "I know you like the Imperial Uncle too, but now he's mine, so you should stay away from him from now on!"

Jiang Xi frowned upon hearing this: "You know? How did you find out?"

Jiang Yuan said smugly, "Of course, Yang Xuerou told me!"

Jiang Xi was stunned, then felt a bit dumbfounded.

"When did you and Yang Xuerou become so close? I remember she was engaged to the Imperial Uncle before?"

Jiang Yuan raised her chin: "That's all in the past. Yang Xuerou is now married to Xie Zhuguo's youngest son, Xie Qinglin!"

"What?!" Jiang Xi was utterly astonished. "Xie Qinglin? The Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy?"

In the six months she was away from the capital, so many things happened in the capital?

"Good to know!" Jiang Yuan snorted arrogantly.

At this moment, Huo Jingxuan subtly pulled his sleeve out of Jiang Yuan's hand: "Does the princess have anything else to say?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Huo Jingxuan with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, her expression full of grievance.

"Uncle, it's been so long since I've seen you, Uncle!"

What I'm implying is, I miss you!

Huo Jingxuan pretended not to understand and flicked his sleeves: "There are still many things waiting for me to deal with at the Prince's Palace. Farewell!"

After saying that, he walked away very quickly.

Jiang Yuan stared blankly at Huo Jingxuan's back, then turned and glared fiercely at Jiang Xi.

He warned, "Don't even think about staying by my uncle's side and playing any tricks, or I'll have my brother order your execution!"

"You really are... very silly and naive!"

Jiang Xi gave her summary, then left Jiang Yuan behind and followed in Huo Jingxuan's footsteps.

Jiang Yuan was a bit slow to react, and it took her a while to realize that Jiang Xi was scolding her for being stupid. She immediately wanted to find someone to settle the score, but the person had already disappeared.

Huo Jingxuan led Jiang Xi to a house next to the Regent's Palace.

"You'll stay here for now until the princess's residence is completed!"

Jiang Xi looked at the magnificent mansion in front of her, somewhat incredulous.

"This house is yours too? Since it's right next door, why don't you just connect the two places?"

Huo Jingxuan replied indifferently, "The Regent's Palace doesn't have that many people; it can't accommodate such a large space!"

Jiang Xi gave him a thumbs up, thinking to herself, "That corrupt official must have plundered so much of the people's wealth!"

Butler Qin took the key, opened the gate of the mansion, gently pushed it open, and then turned to Huo Jingxuan and Jiang Xi, who were standing in front of the gate, and gestured for them to enter.

"What's the name of this garden?" Jiang Xi asked.

"No one lives here, and it hasn't been named yet, so you can call it whatever you want!"

Huo Jingxuan gave the naming rights to the house to Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi followed Huo Jingxuan and stepped through the gate. She saw that although no one lived in the house, it was obviously well-maintained and clean everywhere.

Moreover, the garden is filled with all kinds of flowers, which are in full bloom this season, making it a beautiful sight.

"Hey, what's this called?" Jiang Xi was attracted by a cluster of single-stemmed red and white flowers in the flower bushes and reached out to touch it.

"stop!"

Huo Jingxuan, who was standing to the side, was too late to stop her, so he could only reach out and grab Jiang Xi's hand, pulling her back.

"This flower is called Crimson, and it's highly poisonous!"

Jiang Xi was stunned. What made her even more embarrassed was that Huo Jingxuan didn't seem to want to let go of her hand.

"Oh……"

Jiang Xi tried to pull her hand away from Huo Jingxuan's, and Huo Jingxuan belatedly realized and quickly let go.

"Why did you plant such a poisonous flower in your yard? What if someone accidentally picks it?"

Jiang Xi remembered something and asked confidently.

Huo Jingxuan looked down at her face and after a long while said, "If you don't like them, just pull them all out and plant what you like. What's with all the nonsense?"

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking forward.

Jiang Xi realized that although she had agreed to cooperate with Huo Jingxuan, he would not want to get rid of her for the time being.

However, Huo Jingxuan was a vengeful person and still resented being deceived, so his attitude towards her remained lukewarm.

"Uncle, what do you think about naming this place Shenyuan?"

Jiang Xi followed behind Huo Jingxuan and asked.

Huo Jingxuan didn't want to turn around and look at her, replying irritably, "Call me whatever you want!"

After Jiang Xi finalized the name of the garden, Huo Jingxuan sent several servants and maids to attend to her.

After tidying up, we moved in.

Along with her, Chun Tao and her son, Lu Ye, Su Huanqing, and others also moved into Shenyuan.
