Shen Wan also hoped that Xie Jingyan was healthy, but she did not trust the imperial physicians in the palace. It was just a pity that Doctor Tao had left the capital and would not be back for some time. If Doctor Tao was the one who said Xie Jingyan was fine today, she would definitely believe him without a doubt.

Shen Wan wanted to ask another imperial physician to take a look, but seeing Xie Jingyan's fiery gaze, she swallowed her words. She felt extremely wronged. She was thinking of him, and he wasn't happy about it. How could he be like this?

Because she didn't believe that the man wasn't sick, Shen Wan was bullied severely. When she came out of the study, her delicate lips were a little swollen. She was angry and her steps were heavy and light as she walked back to her room. A little maid in a light yellow dress ran over and reported, "Your Highness, the Empress has sent someone to tell you and the two Princesses of Jin to come to the palace tomorrow."

What did the Empress want with them in the palace?

Although the three of them were together, Shen Wan's intuition told her that nothing good was going to happen.

However, Shen Wan did not enter the palace the next day. Not only her, but Shen Ying and Fu Shu also did not enter the palace because the weather was not cooperating and it rained.

After lunch, the sky, which had been sunny in the morning, turned gray. By evening, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it started to rain in the middle of the night.

The rain drizzled for three days, delaying Empress Song's summons and forcing Minister Chen's family to postpone the betrothal ceremony for the Yun family.

On the fourth day, the sky cleared up, and the sky after the rain was as blue as if it had been washed, a breathtaking sight.

They didn't know why Empress Song wanted to summon them to the palace, but they couldn't refuse. So after breakfast, Shen Wan took Yinshuang out of the mansion and took a carriage to the palace.

At the horse parking area, Shen Wan stepped out of her carriage and saw Shen Ying and Fu Shu. Each of them had their own carriage, which were the same size and style, with only slight differences in color, perfectly embodying the idea of ​​being equals.

The two women were dressed in increasingly luxurious attire, which made Shen Wan appear exceptionally beautiful and refined, with an air of elegance and otherworldly grace.

Judging from the dislike on their faces, one can imagine how lively the Prince of Jin's residence has been these past few days.

Upon seeing Shen Wan, Shen Ying walked over to her and affectionately took Shen Wan's arm. A hint of disgust flashed deep in Shen Wan's eyes, and she barely managed to keep from shaking off Shen Ying's hand.

Fu Shu glanced at them, a mocking smile playing on her lips. She couldn't stand the deep affection between Prince Ling and Princess Ling, and had schemed against her and Prince Ling. Now, she still had the nerve to act like she was on sisterly terms with Princess Ling in front of her. Fu Shu wondered if Shen Ying was just trying to annoy her or deliberately trying to annoy Princess Ling.

Having a sister like Shen Ying is truly the worst luck Ling Wangfei could have ever had.

Fu Shu walked a little further away, and Shen Wan coldly broke free from Shen Ying's hand, "You two are fighting, don't drag me into it."

The nightingale's breath was heavy with unease.

If she had known that Prince Jin would eventually marry a concubine, she would have preferred him to marry Shen Wan. Fu Shu was much more difficult to deal with than Shen Wan. Ever since Fu Shu entered the household, Prince Jin had never stepped into her room again.

Shen Ying said, "She tried to bully me in front of my older sister, and my older sister didn't even help me?"

Help her?

Shen Wan found it amusing.

If she didn't take the opportunity to fan the flames, Shen Ying should be secretly delighted; she shouldn't have even dreamed that she would help her.

Shen Wan didn't want to say a word to such a shameless person.

Seeing that Shen Wan didn't speak, Shen Ying put on a pitiful look, but Shen Wan ignored her completely.

Not wanting to fall too far behind Fu Shu, the two headed towards Fengyi Palace.

When they entered Fengyi Palace, Empress Song was already talking to Fu Shu, showing concern and care. Shen Wan didn't feel anything, but Shen Ying couldn't stand it. They were both Princess Consorts of Jin, but she had married the Prince of Jin first, and Empress Song had never been so kind to her!

To treat Fu Shu so differently right in front of her, as if she were dead, Shen Ying almost bit her teeth to pieces.

Shen Wan stepped forward and curtsied to Empress Song, "May I ask why Your Majesty summoned us to the palace...?"

Empress Song glanced at Shen Wan, and Fu Shu stepped back and stood to Shen Ying's right.

Empress Song sat upright on the phoenix chair, her phoenix robe embroidered with gold and silver threads so striking that no one dared to look directly at her. Her smile faded slightly, revealing a more imposing presence.

Empress Song said calmly, "You two have been married to Prince Jin and Prince Ling for quite some time now, and I have never instructed you or taught you the palace rules. This time, you can do it with Shu'er."

Shen Wan thought there wouldn't be any reprimands in this life, but she was wrong. Such an easy opportunity to manipulate her, Empress Song didn't miss it in her previous life, so how could she not use it in this life?

Xie Jingyin's schemes against her failed several times, and Xie Jingyan even ruined his desired position in the Military Equipment Bureau. Empress Song must be furious with her.

In her past life, she was instructed and taught palace rules for a full half month. The instructor was very strict and nitpicky, and her palms were swollen from being hit by the nanny several times. After such strict instruction, she probably knows palace rules better than Empress Song now.

Fu Shu bowed first, saying, "Your subject will humbly follow Your Majesty's teachings."

Empress Song glanced at the nanny standing to the side and said, "Teach her more carefully. If there's anything she can't learn, I'll hold her accountable."

The old woman readily agreed.

Inside the study of Moyuxuan.

Xie Jingyan was reading when Chen Feng came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress summoned the Princess Consort and the others to the palace to teach them palace rules and to discipline them."

Xie Jingyan frowned.

There were three people: two were Princesses of Jin, and one was not chosen by the Prince of Jin.

This wasn't a reprimand of the three of them; it was clearly an opportunity to reprimand his princess.

Xie Jingyan said, "It's inconvenient for me to go into the inner palace. I'll have Eunuch Yuan keep an eye on things for me."

The Imperial Study.

The emperor is reviewing memorials.

Eunuch Yuan served tea to the Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty has been reviewing memorials for quite some time. Please have a cup of tea and rest for a while."
