Su Feiling never expected that Su Xuening, who had only been in the Holy King's mansion for a little over a month, would not only be favored by the Holy King, but also receive such protection from the Holy King's Dowager Consort!

The Holy King was even willing to make such a poisonous oath for her, a vow of one love for life. How many men in the world can do that, especially since the Holy King is a prince? And now he only wants Su Xuening as his woman!

And then there's the Holy King's Dowager Consort. What mother in the world wouldn't want her son to marry several women to ensure the prosperity of the family and the continuation of the lineage? Yet, this Holy King's Dowager Consort, for Su Xuening's sake, actually agreed to the Holy King making such a poisonous oath.

Even though Su Huiyan was her own aunt, Su Huiyan had never protected her to this extent. Let alone expecting Xuan Yuan Yu to marry only her, that was simply impossible. Leaving aside Xuan Yuan Yu's reaction, Su Huiyan would never agree!

Zhao Zhenzhen, who was standing next to her, also looked at Su Xuening with envy.

They married on the same day, but now her life is a mess, unloved by her husband and disliked by her mother-in-law. Meanwhile, this woman is doted on by her husband and loved by her mother-in-law.

I don't know what kind of magic this woman possesses, not only controlling her own husband but also attracting other women's husbands. Now this woman is pregnant with the imperial heir and is doted on by the entire royal palace, while she remains a virgin. Truly, different people have different fates!

The women present all transformed into Su Feiling and Zhao Zhenzhen, and were filled with envy for Su Xuening.

How many married women can have a smooth life? Even if the husband and wife are loving, the husband can't avoid taking concubines or maids. There's also the mother-in-law to serve. The mother-in-law can't stand to see you living a comfortable life, and she'll come to trip you up from time to time. She'll never let you have too much of a good time!

The Holy Princess is now the only one in the capital, and even in the entire Eastern Chu, to enjoy the exclusive favor of her husband and the protection of her mother-in-law. Who wouldn't envy her?

Just as everyone was envying Su Xuening, Bai Shi, not content with scolding Long Jiaojiao, glanced at Xuan Yuanpeng beside her and said, "There are some people who shouldn't be misled by outsiders! My son doesn't sell himself; whoever wants to can sell himself!"

...All the imperial relatives and civil and military officials in the hall were speechless.

Could you have been any more blatant in your insults?

Consort Liang and Su Huiyan both frowned.

Bai Fuya, that vixen, is a typical example of someone who takes advantage of being favored!

Relying on the Emperor's favoritism, she dared to defy the Emperor's dignity like this!

She's probably the only person in the world who dares to openly insult the emperor like this!

Everyone watched Xuanyuan Peng with trepidation, wondering if he would get angry, but then they saw him cautiously tug at the sleeve of the Holy Queen Dowager: "Ya'er, that's not what I meant!"

Lady Bai yanked her sleeve back and stood up abruptly: "I'm tired, so I won't keep Your Majesty company at the banquet. Please enjoy your meal, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave!"

Without even a greeting to Xuanyuan Pengxing, Bai Shi descended the jade steps on her own.

Seeing that Bai was about to leave, Xuanyuan Peng was so anxious that he wanted to get up and chase after her, but when he thought that this was his birthday banquet, he finally held back his desire to get up.

Xuanyuan Peng's attitude towards Bai Shi made Consort Liang and Su Huiyan roll their eyes.

Only Bai Fuya dared to treat Xuanyuan Peng like that. If it were any one of them, Xuanyuan Peng would have chopped off their heads.

Of course, without Xuan Yuanpeng's favor, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

Bai glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan as she passed by.

Xuanyuan Zhan had no desire to attend any birthday banquet, especially after encountering Long Jiaojiao here. He was even less willing to stay. Seeing Bai Shi's signal, he understood immediately, took Su Xuening's hand, and left with Bai Shi.

Xuanyuan Zhan ignored Xuanyuan Peng completely; the mother and son seemed to regard the emperor as nothing at all.

Su Xuening wanted to bow to Xuan Yuanpeng and take her leave, but Xuan Yuanzhan pulled her away without giving her the chance.

The three of them strode out of the main hall, and everyone in the hall watched them leave, subconsciously not daring to even breathe.

When the Holy Princess Consort gets angry, even the Emperor can only feel resentful, so they dare not provoke her even more.

Moreover, now that the Emperor has been wronged by the Holy Princess, they are afraid that the Emperor will vent his anger, which he dared not express to the Holy Princess, on them, so they dare not speak or act recklessly.

Fortunately, Xuanyuan Peng still had some sense and did not lose his temper as the officials expected. However, when facing Long Jiaojiao, he lost his previous enthusiasm and became colder: "Since the Holy King is unwilling, let's discuss the marriage alliance again. The Holy Maiden has come from afar and can stay in the palace for a few more days before returning to the Southern Frontier."

Long Jiaojiao nodded to Xuanyuan Peng, which was taken as an agreement.

Her purpose in coming to Dongchu was for Xuanyuan Zhan. Now that she hadn't succeeded in getting him, she naturally couldn't leave Dongchu.

Judging from Xuan Yuanzhan's and the Holy King's Consort's firm stance in protecting Su Xuening, it seems she'll have to put in a lot of effort to win Xuan Yuanzhan's heart!

However, since she can't have Xuan Yuanzhan for the time being, she can play with Xuan Yuanyu first. Living in the palace will make it easier for her to do things.

After leaving Yaochi Palace, Bai Shi took Su Xuening's hand and said, "Ning'er, don't worry, I will not allow that seductive woman to enter our Holy King's Mansion!"

As Bai spoke, she glared at Xuan Yuanzhan and said, "You brat, where did you get such a woman from!"

...Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at Bai Shi with a lingering look.

She really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics!

"I will explain this to Ning'er myself."

Xuan Yuanzhan said something and then pulled Su Xuening away.

Inside the carriage, Xuan Yuanzhan stared intently at Su Xuening. Seeing that she didn't seem angry about the matter, he didn't rush to explain anything to her.

After they returned to the palace and washed up, each sleeping in their own bed, Xuan Yuanzhan finally spoke, saying, "I have nothing to do with that woman!"

“I know,” Su Xuening replied calmly.

He swore such a solemn oath that he didn't want to have anything to do with that woman, so how could he possibly have anything to do with her!

She trusted him when it came to matters of the heart.

Of course, at this moment, she didn't seem to have the right to care about his affairs.

Seeing that Su Xuening believed him, Xuan Yuanzhan silently breathed a sigh of relief: "I was stationed in Xiangnan, which is adjacent to the Southern Frontier. Once, when I went out of the city to suppress bandits, I accidentally entered the dense forest of the Southern Frontier and was knocked unconscious by the miasma in the forest. It was that woman who picked me up and brought me back!"

He didn't know what sins he had committed to be targeted by that woman, Long Jiaojiao. After his advances were rejected several times, she even put a love potion on him.

That disgusting woman has countless male lovers in the southern borderlands and lives a dissolute life. How could he possibly accept her!

Su Xuening listened to his words and roughly understood his connection with this Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang.

Thinking of the identity of this Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang, Su Xuening suddenly turned to face Xuan Yuanzhan: "I've heard that Southern Xinjiang is skilled in Gu poison. Do you think this Holy Maiden can cure my Love Flower Gu?"
