"Qingyun, wasn't it said that the Regent had arrived? Where is he?"

"Let's go!" Shi Qingyun replied indifferently, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. He turned to the Princess and said, "Mother, he values ​​that woman very much. We can start with that woman."

"You don't need to tell me that. I heard the Emperor say that he personally went to request the imperial edict."

"Is that so?" Shi Qingyun sneered. Before, Dongli Lu Cang had no weaknesses, and they couldn't do anything about him. Now…

Dongli Lu Cang had no idea that Shi Qingyun was up to something. Even if he did, he wouldn't take them seriously, because in his eyes, Shi was nothing but a clown. He was ruthless, that was true, but his brains weren't exactly sharp.

After leaving the Princess's residence, Yunzhi and Dongli Lucang walked together to where the carriage was parked.

Previously, when Yunzhi arrived, the carriages were parked outside, along with those of the other young ladies. Now that she had come out early, she needed to find her carriage.

Of course, she didn't need to do such a thing herself; Rulan had already gone to find a coachman. So, she was standing in front of the Princess's residence waiting.

Lu Cang from Dongli arrived on horseback; the horse was right at the door. Seeing him come out, Mingyi had already led the horse over.

Seeing the horse that Mingyi brought over, Dongli Lucang glared at him.

They have no sense of propriety.

Mingyi was bewildered by the glare. He didn't know what he had done wrong, so he stared blankly at his master.

When Yunzhi saw the horse that Mingyi had brought over, she smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you have something to attend to, please go ahead. I can go back by myself in a bit, no need to see me off."

"I'm all done," Dongli Lu Cang replied calmly, glaring at Ming Yi again. This time, Ming Yi finally understood why his master had glared at him.

But you can't really blame him. His master is single, and he's single too. So he has no experience when it comes to pursuing women.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have been foolish enough to bring the horse over.

A short while later, Yunzhi's carriage arrived. Yunzhi boarded first, then said to Dongli Lucang, "Your Highness, I will..."

Before she could even say "Go ahead," Dongli Lucang followed her into the carriage and said, "I'm a little tired from riding in the carriage. Do you mind if I hitch a ride with you?"

Yunzhi looked at Dongli Lucang. What could she say?

They'd gone to all this trouble to come see her, so she couldn't very well turn them away. Besides, they were already officially married, so it wouldn't negatively impact her reputation.

Therefore, she could only answer with three words: "I don't mind!"

Dongli Lu Cang smiled, looking at Yun Zhi with tender eyes, and said, "Then I thank you, Zhizhi."

Hearing his cheerful voice, Yunzhi could only think to herself, "I really don't know what he sees in her."

Lu Cang didn't care; he was very happy to be able to share a carriage with Yunzhi.

Rulan and Rumei watched as the Regent followed their master into the carriage, so they went to the driver's seat. But the driver's seat wasn't spacious; it could fit two people, but three would be a bit cramped.

As Mingyi watched his master enter Yunzhi's carriage, he was about to mount his own horse and follow behind, leading his master's horse, when he saw Rumei standing there with a conflicted expression.

So he glanced at Rumei and said, "How about I take the girl back?"
