The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

When Song Wenjun opened her eyes again, it was already early the next morning.

Just as she was about to get up, the soreness in her body made her fall back onto the bed.

"Your Highness, you're awake?" Xiao Tao came in from outside, bringing toiletries.

Song Wenjun blushed slightly: "Where is the Prince?"

"When His Highness went to the military camp, he specifically instructed me not to wake His Highness. His Highness is so considerate." Xiao Tao's face was flushed. She had asked for water four times last night. His Highness was too much.

It was just a pity for the princess; she was thoroughly tormented.

Song Wenjun was helped out of bed by Xiao Tao. Her shoulders and neck were covered with red marks, which made Xiao Tao not dare to look at her directly.

Song Wenjun, looking resentful, held her waist and was speechless.

Are there really such big differences in physical constitution between men and women?

He was not exhausted after a night of hard work; on the contrary, he was full of energy.

Xiao Tao helped Song Wenjun change her clothes and then helped her sit down at the table. The maids had already set out the food.

During the meal, Xiao Tao said to Song Wenjun, "The Prince has brought over the gifts for the Qi Prince's residence. Would the Princess like to go and see them later?"

Xiao Tao's expression was extremely strained as she said this.

Song Wenjun immediately knew there was something fishy going on, but she decided to wait until after she finished eating.

She was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back, and she had absolutely no energy.

After finishing her meal, Song Wenjun went to the courtyard.

Looking around the yard, she saw nothing and looked at Xiao Tao in confusion: "Where are the things?"

Xiao Tao gestured towards the middle of the courtyard: "That's not it."

Song Wenjun followed her gaze and then noticed that there was something new in the courtyard.

The thing was just too big for her to see.

"A tree?" Song Wenjun looked surprised. "Is this a gift prepared by the Prince?"

The tree is three meters tall, but it doesn't look very big, and its roots are still covered in soil.

Song Wenjun wondered where Xiao Ji had dug this up from in the wilderness. She was amazed that he could come up with such a gift.

Xiao Tao nodded obediently: "The prince said that His Highness the Crown Prince will not only not dislike this gift, but will also be moved to tears."

Song Wenjun's lips twitched: "This... can it really work?"

But for some reason, she trusted Xiao Ji.

He never fights a battle he's not confident of winning.

"Come with me to the Prince Qi's residence in a little while, and bring this tree with you."

Xiao Tao looked at her in surprise: "You really brought it?"

“Your prince is very clever. He must have his reasons for asking us to deliver it. We can’t go wrong by listening to him,” Song Wenjun said with a smile.

Seeing Song Wenjun's protective manner towards Xiao Ji, Xiao Tao couldn't help but think to herself, "Back when the Princess Consort was about to marry the Prince, she didn't look like this at all."

Back then, we despised the prince so much that we wanted to beat him out with a broom.

Sure enough, after getting married, he changed completely.

……

When the imperial edict was issued to the Prince of Qi's residence, people came to deliver gifts in an endless stream.

They almost knocked the threshold down.

Su Rongrong is now in high spirits, having completely shaken off her previous miserable state, and her face is full of joy.

The entire Prince Qi's mansion was also decorated, with large red lanterns hanging all over the place.

Countless visitors gathered together and showered Su Rongrong with compliments.

"Congratulations, Crown Princess! Congratulations, Crown Princess..."

Su Rongrong was overjoyed inside, but she put on a haughty front: "His Highness the Crown Prince is where he is today entirely thanks to everyone's efforts. Let's all share in the joy."

"Yes, yes, yes." The crowd's words were filled with awe and respect for Su Rongrong.

Xiao Ling sat at the head of the table below, her smile somewhat faint.

Although disappointed, it wasn't that obvious.

After all, she is now the Crown Prince's concubine.

Once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, she will become a Noble Consort. If she gives birth to another child, she will become an Imperial Noble Consort, a position of immeasurable nobility.

When that day comes, she will trample all those who have bullied her under her feet.

Song Wenjun, in particular, was truly despicable.

However, Xiao Ling frowned slightly. She had been married for three months, but there was still no sign of pregnancy.

This is really worrying.

During that time, she secretly went to see a doctor, who only said that she had qi deficiency and prescribed tonics.

But after drinking it, there was still no effect.

As Xiao Ling was lost in thought, she heard a voice outside announce, "Consort Chun has arrived..."

The people inside hurriedly got up, and saw Consort Chun, supported by her maid, walk in.

Su Rongrong's smile faded slightly. Why was Consort Chun here on such a joyous occasion?

What bad luck.

Although he was dissatisfied, he stood up because he was an elder.

"Greetings to the Dowager Consort," the people inside the room said in unison.

Consort Chun smiled and sat down on the stool: "Please get up, everyone."

After everyone was seated, Consort Chun made some polite remarks, then looked at Su Rongrong with a forced smile and said, "Your Highness, you look quite well lately. Is it because you're in high spirits?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I've been sleeping soundly lately, so I'm in good spirits," Su Rongrong replied with a smile.

Consort Chun gave a sarcastic smile: "The Crown Princess has always been magnanimous, and I am ashamed to admit that I am not as magnanimous as her. As for my Chun Prince's Mansion, with only an orphan and a widow, I have no one to rely on and I can't sleep at night."

At this point, she paused and asked her in the manner of an elder, "Don't blame me for being nosy, but you've been childless for a long time. Have you seen a doctor? Of all things, offspring are the most important."

At this point, she glanced thoughtfully at Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling felt a chill run down her spine. Why was this old woman looking at her like that?

Not only her, but everyone in the room changed their expressions.

Having children was a taboo subject for Su Rongrong. Consort Chun really knew how to stab someone in the back, knowing full well that it was a taboo subject, yet she still brought it up in front of so many people.

Sure enough, Su Rongrong's face turned cold the next second: "It's been a while since the Dowager Consort returned, hasn't it? I see that you are feeling much better. I wonder when you will return to your fiefdom?"

In just a few words, the atmosphere at the scene became tense.

Consort Chun's expression changed slightly, showing some dissatisfaction with Su Rongrong's attitude.

But she was now the Crown Princess, and she didn't want to offend her, so she forced a laugh and said, "I only look a little better today. I usually can't even get out of bed."

"Your Highness is so kind, coming to my residence to offer your congratulations even when you are so ill." Su Rongrong had won back the round and was in a great mood: "If I had known this would happen, I would have sent someone to inform Your Highness, so that you wouldn't have to go through all this trouble."

The implication was that she shouldn't get involved unless absolutely necessary.

Consort Chun's face darkened: "Even if I were dying, I would still come to such a joyous occasion."

On such a joyous day, she kept talking about death and life, which made Su Rongrong so angry that she felt like her lungs were about to explode.

Just then, Song Wenjun entered with her maid.

Su Rongrong's expression turned even more unpleasant upon her appearance, while Song Wenjun's face was as radiant as a peach blossom, and she looked radiant.

Most importantly, all the items she was wearing were unique.

It's one of a kind in the capital.

None of the ladies present were as wealthy as she was.

The moment she entered the room, she shone like a bright pearl, overshadowing everyone else present.
