"This servant greets Your Majesty!" Dongfang Zexuan and Dongfang Zexuan finally straightened up after Dong Qiong had disappeared. Dongfang Ze snorted lightly. "What 'don't want anything to happen to Seventh Brother?' It's obvious that they don't want to hand over the military power to Seventh Brother." Although Dongfang Ru's words were spoken softly, he heard it clearly from the side.

Dongfang Qin withdrew his gaze, and calmly said, "This was within my expectations."

Dongfang Ze rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that's not the only thing going on. Seventh Brother heard that he was going to conscript the elite battalion to the Pingyang King, if it was temporary, then he wouldn't return it. In this half a year, he has openly and secretly cut off a lot of power from Second Brother and Fifth Brother, and even I was almost stabbed!"

Dongfang Ze slowly said, "I've guessed it too, so I must obtain the right to lead this army!"

"Of course I want Seventh Brother to lead the troops, but Seventh Brother has also seen his attitude. Let alone giving you a chance, he's not even willing to say a few more words."

"Didn't I already expect this to happen?" Dongfang Yi opened his palm and stared at the criss-crossing lines on his palm. He said to himself, "Otherwise, why would I marry those two?"

Those who knew that the Qi Kingdom was invading and that the Yang Pass Valley was about to be lost were, after all, a small minority. The vast majority of people were still in the dark, believing that the borders were peaceful and that the world was at peace.

That night, there were fifty tables in the mansion. The guests were making a lot of noise and it was very lively. It was only when it was late at night that the guests finally broke off and left.

The guests had already dispersed, but Dongfang Nian was still drinking one cup after another. No, it was more accurate to say that he was pouring wine into his mouth. Cai Yuan said quietly, "Prince, don't drink anymore. It's almost midnight. You should go to the East District to rest." Although the second concubine entered the estate at the same time, the wedding night belonged to the first concubine, Shen Xijun.

"Three …" Dongfang Gu poured himself another cup of wine and raised it in the direction of the Mu residence. An inaudible voice came from between his lips that reeked of alcohol. "Qianxue, let me toast you!"

After pouring the pungent wine into his mouth and swallowing it, he propped himself up from the table and staggered forward. Cai Yuan quickly supported him and felt that something was wrong. After walking for a while, he reminded, "Your Highness, this is the way to the west yard."

"This King knows." Dongfang gave an answer, and continued to walk step by step towards the west yard. The moonlight, which was intertwined with the silk-red palace lights, drew a long shadow behind him …

In the East District, Shen Xijun was quietly sitting on a bed with a red veil over her head under a red handkerchief. She had maintained this posture for nearly six hours.

Royal Consort … Queen Rui …

As long as she thought about it, she was happy. After waiting for so long, she finally got what she wanted. From now on, she was the legal Prince Rui's wife. The only thing that made her uncomfortable was Zhao Pingqing.

However, thinking about it, what Zhao Pingqing said a few days ago wasn't unreasonable. Mu Qianxue was the one that she needed to get rid of the most. Compared to her, Zhao Pingqing was nothing.

"Zong Ji, you haven't eaten anything all day, there's lotus seed cake here, you should eat a piece of cake." Ah Zi's voice came from outside the red handkerchief. Shen Xijun shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry. You guys can eat by yourselves."

The other maid, Alan, covered her mouth and laughed. "Zong Ji is wholeheartedly thinking about your highness right now. How could she possibly feel hungry?"

Shen Xijun blushed when she told her about the main topic at hand. She reprimanded, "Such a good chatty girl. Do you believe that I won't chase you out of here?"

"This servant knows her wrongs, this servant doesn't dare." While they were laughing, they heard sounds of people fighting for money coming from outside. Ah Zi listened attentively and said, "It's already the third fragment of the night, why isn't the prince coming over yet?"

"I'll go take a look." When he came back, his face was not only no longer smiling, but very ugly.

Ah Zi saw that something was wrong, and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Alain glanced at Shen Xijun, who was wrapped in a red cloth, and whispered something in Ah Zi's ear. The latter's expression changed, and she asked with her lips, "Really?"

Ah Zi's face became unusually unsightly after Lan's affirmative nod. She remained silent, and even though Shen Xijun didn't hear her voice, she could tell that something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

Ah Zi forced a smile, "It's nothing, Alan said …" Mu Wang drank a few cups happily. Right now, he's going mad from alcohol. His Royal Highness is taking care of him. "

Shen Xijun asked in doubt, "Is that really the case?"

"Of course, how could this servant dare to lie to you?" With that, Ah Zi continued, "Zong Ji has been disturbed by those red tape for the whole day. She must be very tired. How about I serve you and rest for a while?"

Shen Xijun replied without even thinking, "No, mother and concubine have both told me before that I must ask the prince to personally choose this joyous Pa."

"But …" Just as he said those two words, Ah Zi looked at him and stopped him. Unfortunately, it was already too late. Shen Xi Jun's doubt that she had suppressed rose again, and it was even deeper than before.

A'Zi smiled apologetically. "No, there's nothing wrong with that. Your servant was afraid that you'd be exhausted, so …"

Shen Xijun coldly interrupted her, "If you want to continue with your nonsense, then scram!" After saying that, she looked at the pair of embroidered shoes with magnolia flowers embroidered on it and said, "Lan, go ahead!"

"Servant …" "Your servant …" Lan twisted his fingers and did not speak further. Only when Shen Xijun urged him again and again did she helplessly say, "This servant just asked the servants in the mansion, they said … Your Highness went to the west yard! "

"What?" The red handkerchief fell from her hand, revealing Shen Xijun's charming and beautiful face. Shen Xijun noticed the red handkerchief that was torn off and stared at Alan, "Where did you say the Prince went?!"

Lan looked timidly at the face that was almost twisted. "I went …" West Branch! "

"Zhao Pingqing!" Shen Xijun spat out these three words through gritted teeth, her whole body was trembling in anger. Her hands were clenched so tightly that clucking sounds could be heard. Her carefully pruned and painted fingernails, which were bright red, were snapped off one after another in her palms.

On the night of their wedding, Dongfang Shouye was staying in the side room, leaving his first wife alone in the side room. If word of this spread, she would become the laughingstock of the entire Jindan. And all of this … It was all thanks to Zhao Pingqing!

It was fortunate that the slut had said something about sisterhood, but in the blink of an eye, it had been thrown far away. Hmph, Mu Qianxue was her obstacle, Zhao Pingqing … Not a single one of them could be spared!

"Change my clothes!" Shen Xijun used all her strength to suppress the urge to settle the debt with Zhao Ping. Her mother had said that once she entered Prince Rui's mansion, she had to learn to endure no matter how much she hated him. Only then would she be able to obtain Dongfang Gu's heart!
