Fang Zinan was suddenly awakened by his father's shout and quickly left Shang Yiqing.

At this moment, the Emperor laughed loudly, "Today's Dragon Boat Competition was a level higher than Prince Rong's technique. Today, I'll give him a White Jade Tiger." It turned out that before the competition, the Emperor had already prepared a reward. This' White Jade Tiger 'was a tribute given by the neighboring nation, and it was carved from a piece of goose-fat jade. Its hands were exquisite, and it was lifelike, and it was usually placed in the royal study as a treasure guarding the rooms.

When Fang Zinan heard this, he hadn't even jumped off the green boat before he bent down and kowtowed. "Thank you, your majesty, for your love!"

"All of you, hurry up and come down. I know you're all exhausted. Look, Princess Rao's head is full of sweat." Empress Chen smiled amiably, her affection for Shang Yiqing increased.

Shang Yiqing was feeling uneasy, and quickly disembarked from the green boat upon hearing Empress Chen's words. When Fang Zinan jumped off the boat, he saw Shang Yiqing with her head lowered and only looking at her clothes. He was not paying attention as he was afraid that she would fall into the water, so he helped her up.

Even if he did not look in the mirror, he could feel his face burning and his hands and feet becoming unnatural. However, he knew in his heart that he had already blushed, and the more he tried to hide it, the more he wanted to not blush. However, this feeling would only make his' unsatisfactory 'face turn even redder!

Seeing her expression, Fang Zinan couldn't help but laugh. He tilted his head and whispered into her ear, "Princess, when you were beating the drum just now, you were quite awe-inspiring. With so many people looking at you, you're not even afraid. What's there to be afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid?" Shang Yiqing was furious when she heard that. How could she be afraid? She was clearly a bit embarrassed, but when Fang Zinan said this, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. She fiercely glared at him. This guy would always throw cold water at her when she was in a bad mood!

"Let's go, the emperor and queen are waiting for us." Seeing that Shang Yiqing had returned to her normal state, Fang Zinan said something else and walked towards the emperor.

Shang Yiqing looked at his back and followed him with a nod.

When the two of them arrived before the emperor, the other princes had already arrived.

"The abilities of the fourth prince's younger brother are becoming more and more powerful. It seems like we are not even comparable to the fourth prince's younger brother!" He was the eldest among all the princes. In today's Dragon Boat competition, he could have won for sure, but now that his limelight had been stolen by the couple, he naturally felt disgraced and indignant.

Fang Zinan only smiled and didn't pay any attention to him.

"Your majesty, the princes are all sweating from exhaustion right now. Why don't we have them change their clothes first?" In her heart, these four princes were no different than sons to her.

Shang Yiqing lowered her head to look at the ground. Her clothes were drenched in sweat, and she looked to be in a rather sorry state. She was wondering if she should ask the empress to change her clothes, but the empress waved her hand with a smile.

Shang Yiqing was overjoyed as she thanked the empress and followed her.

At this time, the emperor had also announced the end of the Dragon Boat competition. He gave the order to return to the Jade Dawn Palace, and from the beginning to the end, he would return with his wife.

"Princess Rong has really made a name for herself today, what a sight to behold!" Princess Ning spat in hatred. In the past, Ning Wang had always been the one to show off his skills at this time. Who would've thought that today's limelight would all be taken away by Prince Rong's wife? She couldn't help feeling a little angry.

Crown Princess Dingdong. She sneered, "Elder sister, you can't say that either. In fact, isn't this year's Rise to the King a good year too, to save himself the limelight! "

"What do you mean?" Princess Ning couldn't help but turn hostile upon hearing these words. She had always been at odds with Ning Xiaoyao.

"Sisters, don't argue!" "Although none of us princes won today, it wasn't easy for her either. She's just a woman and her husband. I'm afraid even one of us wouldn't be able to do this."

"Of course. None of us would be so close to you in front of so many people. It's really disgraceful of us, the wangfei, to do such a thing! "

"I've never easily agreed with the words of others, but today I have to admit that what she said was right. Those who don't know it will think that we, the consort, don't care about our shame and face!"

Princess Xuan frowned and wanted to say something, but she held herself back and didn't speak again.

Before long, everyone had arrived at the Jade Dawn Palace.

Everyone took their seats in the same position as before.

The emperor was pulling Prince Yu along as they sat down. A few princes had already changed their clothes when Empress Chen walked slowly from the back of the palace with Shang Yiqing by his hand.

When everyone looked at her, Shang Yiqing had changed into a palace dress embroidered with sky water green and silver threads. Her cheeks were originally red with drunkenness, but when matched with the green dress, she looked even more beautiful and radiant. The princesses were beautiful, but they overshadowed the orchid-like elegance and splendor.

Princess Ning glanced at her before letting out a light snort from her nose.

Shang Yiqing walked over and sat down beside the princesses.

"Imperial Concubine Rong, today you and Prince Rong are truly glorious!" None of us have the spirit to compare to you. You have really given us consort faces! " She spoke in a teasing tone with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

Shang Yiqing smiled slightly, but before she could say anything, she heard Princess Ning's words. "That's right. We've finally witnessed Prince Rong and his wife's deep affection for each other. They're truly a couple that share the same heart and strength!" Princess Ning chuckled.

Shang Yiqing raised an eyebrow. The two wangfei's words were filled with mockery, how could she not hear it? So she calmly said, "There is nothing I can do about that. I can't compare with my sister. "But today, Your Highness really did not disappoint me. I'm sure that I'm happy for my sister, right?"

As soon as these words left her mouth, Ning Xiaoyao and Ning Xiaoyao's faces alternated between red and white. Even the silent Princess Xuan couldn't help but change her expression and frown.
