On the other side, Ning Chuge was unaware that her words had stirred up tension between Guo Luoluo and Yinzhi. Right now, she was riding and playing with Buer and Dai on a vast, boundless horse field.

A string of clear, melodious laughter from a woman rang out.

Bu'er and Dai caught up with Ning Chuge, who was ahead of them. "Eldest sister!"

Ning Chuge tightened the horse's reins with a sigh, then turned to look at Bu Er and Dai beside him, "What's wrong?"

Buer and Dai slowed their horses down, and walked side by side with Ningchuge.

“Elder sister, I was thinking about what happened with the Eighth Prince’s wife just now,” Bu’er and Dai asked without holding back, “The Eighth Prince’s wife has always been like this, why did you hold a grudge against her today?”

Bu'er and Dai were curious because, given their older sister's personality, she would never have paid any attention to them in the past.

Ning Chuge smiled, her smile as bright as the sun. "Eighth Princess Consort, you've just had bad luck."

It couldn't have been her; it could have been someone else. It's just that the Eighth Prince's wife was too foolish and stumbled upon this situation.

Since they came here on their own, Ning Chuge had no reason to push them away.

"Yesterday I went to the Emperor's tent, and the Emperor told me to stay a while longer if I had nothing else to do."

Lately, because I've been spending a lot of time in front of the Emperor, things have calmed down considerably with the First Prince and the Crown Prince.

The Emperor is already quite displeased.

Therefore, as the Emperor's close confidante, she naturally had to step forward and share his burdens.

So, she'll have a fight with the Eighth Prince's wife first, and then find a chance to talk to the Crown Prince tomorrow. While the First Prince and the Crown Prince continue their feud, she can finally have a couple of days of peace and quiet.

"Today's quarrel is not entirely innocent for the Eighth Princess Consort. Even if something happens in the future, it cannot be blamed on the eldest sister."

When Bu'er and Dai chimed in, her eyes were filled with worry, and she felt a pang of sympathy for her elder sister.

"Eldest sister, whatever you do, I will support you."

Ning Chuge couldn't help but chuckle, like a beautiful, wealthy flower, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Whether it's the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Princess Consort, or even the First Prince and the Crown Prince, none of them could possibly harm him.

Ning Chuge straightened his expression. "Buer and Dai, I am different from you. I hold power in my hands that they both fear. Even if I make enemies with them, they will not go to great lengths to clash with me," because that would be too much of a loss.

You should know that the things Ning Chuge possesses could potentially cause a major upheaval in the Qing Dynasty.

This is why, when Kangxi summoned her this time, he did not give a direct order, but instead chose a roundabout approach, letting Ning Chuge withdraw and give up on her own.

In the past, someone as self-centered as Emperor Kangxi would never have consulted with Ning Chuge.

Bu'er and Dai were dumbfounded, staring blankly at their proud and noble elder sister.

His mouth was wide open, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

This...this...this doesn't seem to match the scene she imagined.

"What's wrong? Do you think my eldest sister is a pitiful little thing struggling to survive in the cracks?"

Ning Chuge reached out and touched Bu'er and Dai's pretty faces, thinking to herself that her own younger sister was still the cutest, so soft and adorable that she couldn't bear to marry her off.

What if they choose the wrong person? Wouldn't that make Boer and Dai regret it for the rest of their lives?

Boer and Dai are not themselves; if they are not satisfied, they can choose a few that they like and keep them by their side.

Having seemingly inadvertently revealed something, Ning Chuge continued to tell Bu Er and Dai some of her own stories.

Having lived in Horqin for so many years, Ningchuge has also learned the generosity of the Mongolians.

Having said everything she could in front of her younger sister, Ning Chuge smiled with even greater pride.

Never before had Boer and Dai understood their elder sister's thoughts better than they did now.

It turns out that I had been making assumptions all along.

Their horse race came to an abrupt end, and when Bull and Dai returned to their lodgings, they were still feeling a bit dizzy.

Hmm, everything today was too exciting; she really needs to calm down.

...

The days that followed unfolded just as Ning Chuge, Bu Er, and Dai had predicted.

A few days later, the eldest prince and the crown prince, who had been somewhat amicable before, started to clash again.

The catalyst for this was the Eighth Prince, Yinzhi, and his wife, Lady Guoluo.

The eldest prince refused to budge in front of the crown prince, but when he returned to his residence, he couldn't help but complain that Yinzhi couldn't control the women.

Yinzhi: ...

Yinzhi was also speechless. He had reminded Guoluo, but who would have thought that Guoluo would offend the Crown Princess.

"If the Crown Princess is pregnant and gives birth to a prince, that prince will be a legitimate imperial grandson."

The eldest prince's expression was unfriendly. He thought to himself that the Crown Princess had been in the palace for several years without any news, and everyone thought that she was infertile. Who would have thought that she would get pregnant after just one trip?

The thought that his old rival might have another son made the eldest prince extremely anxious.

Why should I?!

Even he himself only had illegitimate sons, not legitimate sons. God is really unfair.

While Yinti cursed inwardly, the news of the Crown Princess's pregnancy had just spread and attracted everyone's attention.

This is the Crown Princess, the rightful next Empress.

"The Crown Princess is pregnant. This is getting interesting."

While everyone was focused on the Crown Princess, Ning Chuge found Yin Yi, and the two siblings chatted for a while.

The conversation naturally revolved around the eldest prince, Yinti, and the crown prince, Yinreng.

Of course, among them were the Eighth Prince Yinzhi and his wife, Lady Guoluo.

Yin Yi raised an eyebrow, "Brother, you don't know that your elder sister has incurred the wrath of the Eighth Prince and his wife."

Not only did he hold a grudge, but Yinzhi also went up to him and said some ambiguous things.

At first glance, it does make a lot of sense, but upon closer analysis, every sentence is provocative and clearly targeted.
