Princess Yushan left the Lounong Pavilion with a heart full of resentment - she had been given a gift by her younger brother, but before she could even say a word to Su Shaoge, he politely excused himself and returned to his room to read.

  What's even more hateful is that Princess Yushan deliberately steered the conversation towards Su Shaoge, hoping that King Zhao would come to his senses. But who knew that King Zhao's education was probably all taught by the imperial guards, and after listening attentively, he solemnly declared: "Second sister, don't worry! Su Shaoge is definitely a decent person, he won't go disturb you if you live here. Even if you're not at ease with him, isn't there still me? I guarantee I won't let him get close to you. If you're still not at ease, I'll help you find a place to live that's ten or twenty miles away from here?"

  After he finished speaking, Song Yi, who was quietly drinking tea, clearly heard the sound of Princess Yushan's broken heart...

  The most fatal thing is that when they said goodbye, King Zhao sent them off to the door with enthusiasm and didn't forget to add a knife: "Second sister, you can rest assured, you are my own sister! How could I not be on your side? You can live in peace, I guarantee that you will never see the shadow of Second Brother again!"

  Song Yi suppressed her laughter, biting her lip to hold back the urge to burst out laughing - she caught a glimpse of Jiang Muqin, who had been silent and taciturn since entering the pavilion, turning his back and trembling slightly!

  "Stop right there!" Princess Yushan left the Lounong Pavilion not far away, snatched the waist knife from the accompanying guard, pulled out a clump of shrubs by the road, and kicked the ancient locust tree in the distance for a while, before finally stopping with a sigh, returning the waist knife to the guard, and instructing Song Yixiao with a gloomy face.

  "Since Your Highness is not at ease with Prince Zhao, I think it's better to choose a house around here?" Song Yi smiled knowing she was on the verge of anger and didn't want to be the target, so she naturally went along with her thoughts. "Although Prince Zhao said earlier that he would only stay for a few days with Second Master Su, this place is indeed far from Buxue's small pavilion. If something happens, neither I nor Cousin can rush over immediately. If Your Highness doesn't mind the quietness here, what do you think?"

  Princess Yushan suddenly turned her head and said anxiously: "Fourth brother is really leaving in a few days?"

  After confirming the news, she suddenly smiled and didn't put on a princess's airs anymore. She warmly grasped Song Yi's arm, "Sister-in-law is absolutely right, I felt close to you as soon as I saw you... indeed, sister-in-law, you are considerate..."

  Song Yixiao had chosen the Yao Hua Yuan, which was less than two miles away from the Liu Lu Xuan, and had instructed her servants to clean it up. After helping them settle in, she bid farewell, but Princess Yu Shan grasped her hand and personally escorted her out for over a mile: "Auntie, take care! You've worked hard today... Auntie, goodbye! When you return to the capital, come visit me often!"

  Song Yixiao estimated that she had never been so enthusiastic about the crown prince's consort, and her heart was a little guilty - but guilt was guilt, after returning to Bu Yue Xiao Zhu, she still immediately sold Yu Shan Gong Zhu: "Sister, do you know what Princess Yushan came here to relax?"

  Qingjiang Jun Zhu said in surprise: "Didn't you say you felt suffocated in the palace?"

  Seeing her solemn expression, he hastily asked, "She wouldn't be here because of the Jiang family's daughter, would she? Is she trying to get on good terms with the Wei royal couple?"

  "She's doing it for Second Master Su!" Song Yi sighed and said, "Just now she even dragged me to the Luonong Pavilion - only after moving into the Yaohua Institute did she become happy! I don't dare take responsibility for this matter, so I've come to report to you, elder sister, to make a decision!"

  The county master's face also turned ugly: "How can this child be so reckless!"

  She is indeed Emperor Xianjie's most beloved niece, but she hasn't been spoiled to the point where she can make decisions about Emperor Xianjie's daughter's marriage!

  Especially Su Shaoge is of the Zhao Wang faction, while Princess Yushan is the biological daughter of Wei Wang's foster mother - these two people are not going to get what they want just because they have feelings for each other!

  "Can't let her be so reckless!" Qingjiang Junzhu's heart was about to spit blood, "I need to find an excuse to separate them - or else I'll drive Su Shaoge away tomorrow!"

  Song Yi Xiao hastily said: "This way, it would be embarrassing for both Her Majesty the Empress and His Highness Prince Zhao."

  She told her elder sister that Princess Yushan had a crush on Su Shaoge, firstly because she was afraid of taking responsibility and secondly because she didn't want to disturb Su Shaoge before the exam - this would clear the way for Su Shaoge to leave Qingjiang County, so she naturally wanted to help speak up.

  "But I don't know what the Emperor's uncle thinks about Yushan's marriage!" Qingjiang Junzhu said in a fluster, "It's fine if they hook up somewhere else, but if they settle down for life in Zhanchun Hall, how can I explain it to the Emperor's uncle?! This place was even given by the Emperor's uncle!"

  Song Yi Xiao looked at the helpless expression of her elder sister and ruthlessly threw away her conscience, saying: "Actually, it's not a bad idea to start with Zhao Wang. Isn't he leaving in two days? You can secretly instruct him to take Princess Yu Shan along when he leaves. What do you think of this plan?"

  Your Majesty King Zhao!

  So as not to let your sister and cousin secretly hook up with each other

  Also for your brother to have a quiet environment before the exam,

  I'm afraid I have no choice but to sacrifice you!

  Anyway, your sister already hates you so much, if she hates you a bit more, it shouldn't... matter... right?

  "Then I'll have to find an excuse to call Yushan over for the next two days, so she won't go to Lounong Pavilion again!" After some thought, Qingjiang Junzhu decided to adopt this proposal and said, "You're familiar with the girl from the Yuan family. Later, send someone to deliver a message to her, asking her to help stall Nanchang for the next two days, so he won't run into the Jiang family girl - as for Wumei's side, we should have someone go visit her often, so she knows we're not neglecting her!"

  Song Yi smiled and nodded in agreement.

  The next day, Qingjiang County Master sent someone to invite Princess Yushan to talk, but a maid came from the Like Garden and said: "Suddenly, the Long Princess remembered that Miss Nie should also be in Bu Yue Xiao Zhu, why didn't she see her yesterday? Is she unwell?"

  Qingjiang Junzhu exchanged a glance with Song Yixiao, and said vaguely: "I'm not feeling well, so I didn't get up. For neglecting Aunt's place, please forgive me, Aunt!"

  The maid said with a smile: "Your Highness is just worried about Miss Nie!" After finishing speaking, she left.

  After a while, Princess Yushan hadn't arrived yet, but the Grand Princess of Dai came to Bu Yue Xiao Zhu personally: "Is Huaiyan sick? Is it serious? This child is also quite pitiful, I have to go and see!"

  She said that, and Qingjiang Junzhu and Song Yixiao didn't dare to stop her. They could only secretly pray that Nie Wuyan's anger had dissipated - otherwise, as her elder sister and sister-in-law, they would have been affected by the cold treatment. But it was unbearable for a younger generation like them to be so disobedient, especially when the Crown Prince's mother, the Grand Princess of Dai, could even slap her in the face!

  A group of people escorted the princess to Nie Wu's residence, and Wanxiang originally wanted to come out and block the door, but as soon as she saw the princess, her legs went soft: "Your servant..."

  "Get up!" The Grand Princess interrupted her greeting, frowning and saying, "Is Huai Yan inside? How has she been the past two days? Has she taken her medicine?"

  Wanxiang didn't understand, fortunately Song Yi laughed and intervened: "In response to Aunt's words, the fifth sister was tired from traveling by horseback, we thought it was a toxic medicine, so we let her rest on the couch, and she hasn't taken the medicine yet."

  "This is also true, it's better for children to take less medicine!" The eldest princess, Dai Guo Zhang, was notorious for being arrogant and overbearing, but generally speaking, she was still quite gentle with her sister's younger generation. This time, she had vaguely heard the rumors and came to rescue the scene on purpose. Upon hearing this, she nodded and said, "Let's go in and take a look at her! This child said she came out to play, but as soon as she arrived, she lay down, all alone and lonely!"

  Wanxiang sought help and glanced at Qingjiang Junzhu, but Qingjiang Junzhu was worried that her sister hadn't left her room for days. Seeing this, she weighed the situation and tilted her head, pretending not to see.

  "Is the Princess Dowager here?!" Nie Wu Xian was so anxious that she lost her composure when she heard the commotion outside, but fortunately, Song Yi Xiao's response slowed down the footsteps of Dai Guo Taizi and others entering the house, giving her a chance to take off her clothes and lie on the couch.

  But rarely going out, not having seen many scenes, when the princess arrived at her bedside to ask about her well-being, she thought of calling someone but almost bit her tongue, and her nervous appearance was obvious to anyone who wasn't blind!

  The Empress Dowager knew that she was still sulking, and seeing this situation, how could she not guess roughly? However, she pretended to be unaware, reached out to touch her forehead, and scolded: "Isn't it already better? Why are you still cooped up in the house?"

  Nie Wu Yan was at a loss for words, and the Princess of Dai Guo said, "Girls can't be too quiet either. Now that we're not in the imperial capital, we should move around more when we get to the mountains! I think you've recovered, so let's go out and play with your sisters later. Tonight, we'll all go to Ruyi Garden. Auntie has brought several chefs here, and they'll show off their skills for you!"

  Qingjiang Junzhu and Song Yixiao saw that Nie Wuyan's refusal was not very firm, so they hurriedly helped to stir up the situation - originally, Nie Wuyan was already feeling guilty, how could she hold on? She nodded vaguely!

  Now that's settled, fearing she might change her mind, the young lady of Qingjiang County made a gesture to ask Princess Dagu to return to the main hall and serve tea. Song Yi smiled and stayed behind, directing the maids to rush up and help her get dressed and groomed, personally choosing a good dress for her, tidying her up until she looked radiant, and then escorting her to the main hall to thank Princess Dagu.

  As soon as it was over, he immediately pulled her out of the Bu Yue Xiao Zhu: "Auntie came alone, your cousins should still be in Ruyi Garden, let's go call them!"

  Nie Wu Yan was dragged out of the door before she came back to her senses, and for a moment, she only felt bewildered and at a loss.

  Song Yi smiled and didn't bother with the details, leading her into the Ruyi Garden to find Prince Wei and his wife. After exchanging pleasantries and paying their respects, she smiled and said: "Auntie told me to bring you two around for a stroll nearby, I wonder if you'd be willing to grant me this favor?"

  The King and Queen of Wei obviously received the instructions from Princess Dai earlier, and upon hearing this, they both said: "We were just thinking of going out for a walk, and if Brother and Sister Song are willing to show us the way, that would be perfect!"

  Actually, it was Song Yixiao who led the way, but both Wei Wang and his wife were more familiar with the local terrain. The four of them went out together, tacitly making Nie Wuyan their focus, but Nie Wuyan was so nervous that she barely dared to speak. As Wei Wang and his wife were of noble status, they initially patiently coaxed her, but after a few times, they lost interest, leaving Song Yixiao to rack her brains to amuse the little girl.

  As they walked and talked, the mistress of Nanzheng felt a bit tired. Happening to see a large pavilion ahead, with people sitting inside, she said: "It seems like that's Boling Hou's sister over there; I suppose it's her siblings in the pavilion. Let's go over and greet them, and sit for a while!"

  Everyone had no opinion, but after they entered the pavilion, the lord of Nanzheng regretted it: It was not bad that Yuan Xuepei and Yuan Xuesuo were in the pavilion, but who would tell her why Jiang Muxiu was also there?

  No wonder Yuan Xueying clearly saw her turn back earlier but didn't make a sound to greet her!

  It's too embarrassing to quit now; it's like there's no silver in this mountain after all!

  At this moment, the lord of Nan Zhai was somewhat at a loss for what to do!
