Nowadays, everyone in Beijing knows how good Prince Gong is to his wife. Not only did he do this on the Dragon Boat Festival the other day, but his statement in court that he refused to take a concubine also caused a sensation.

There are rumors in the capital that Prince Gong is ruthless and cruel, but Dai Zhiwan is still very envious. What's wrong with the man she likes only liking her?

Although Prince Gong's behavior was eccentric, it at least showed that he loved Princess Gong very much.

How could Princess Gong possibly envy her parents?

"To have walked hand in hand for decades and still be able to support each other and treat each other with respect is the best thing."

Su Wanyan didn't know if Dai Zhiwan could understand what she meant.

But she really couldn't think of a specific way to explain it.

Like Dai Zhiwan's father and mother, who had long passed the shyness and excitement of getting to know each other and the novelty of their marriage, and were still able to support each other through thick and thin after the initial passion, and to follow each other through marriage, if this is not good, then there is nothing good in the world.

A loving and supportive relationship doesn't need fancy words or flamboyant gestures. Even if two people are just sitting quietly together, saying nothing and doing nothing, they will feel a harmonious sense of happiness.

This was something her parents had explained to her in her previous life.

She didn't understand when she was young, so while Dai Zhiwan didn't understand, she could.

Dai Zhiwan truly didn't understand. Hearing Su Wanyan's words, she could only purse her lips and remain silent. Xu Yixuan quickly broke the awkward silence with a smile: "Just now, I saw Your Majesty eating butterfly pastries. I have a cook in my household who makes the most delicious butterfly pastries. I'll have someone send some to the Prince's residence later so Your Majesty can also try them."

Su Wanyan naturally wouldn't refuse her kindness, and besides, she really thought the butterfly pastry was delicious, so she smiled and said, "Okay, then I thank Miss Xu in advance."

Xu Yixuan smiled, as if she wanted to say something.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the private room: "Oh dear, what's going on! Why is the door locked? My young lady is still inside! Someone come quick! Someone open the door!"

Su Wanyan twitched her brow.

Dai Zhiwan and Xu Yixuan both looked curiously towards the door: "What's wrong? Why is it so noisy outside?"

Just then, Qiuye rushed into the room: "Your Majesty!"

She looked anxious, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Left with no other choice, Su Wanyan reached out her hand, and Qiu Ye whispered in her ear, "It's terrible, Your Highness! It seems that the Prince... changed his clothes in that room, and now it's locked up by someone. All the guests on the second floor have come up..."

Su Wanyan glanced at Qiu Ye.

Qiu Ye was anxious and gave Su Wanyan a confirming look.

Dai Zhiwan and Xu Yixuan didn't know what had happened either, but they certainly didn't dare to ask rashly at this time.

"Hey, who the hell is it? Open the door right now! My young lady is still inside! Do you know who we are? If anything happens to my young lady, no one in Wangxiang Tower will escape!" Just then, shouts rang out again.

Su Wanyan asked curiously, "Do you know whose it is? What about Tanaka?"

"I don't know whose it is yet. As soon as I received the news, I came to report to Your Highness. Guard Tian... I don't know either."

How did you receive the message?

"It was...it was a shop assistant who told me."

At this point, Akiha also realized something was wrong.

She was guarding outside the private rooms, and she didn't know which room had an incident. She came in to report based on the information given by the shop assistant.

If it really was their own prince in that room, then it should have been Guard Tian who came to inform him.

Su Wanyan calmly stood up and smiled at Dai Zhiwan and Xu Yixuan, "Shall we go and take a look? After all, I've already booked the private rooms on the third floor. If anything happens, I'll be held responsible."

Yu Nanqing would not fall for someone's trick so easily.

The two had intended to leave, but upon hearing Su Wanyan's words, they quickly stood up and said, "Yes."

"Hey, someone come quick! Open the door! My young lady is still inside! Who the hell locked her in there?! Someone come quick!"

"I just saw that Prince Gong went in to change his clothes before closing the door," someone in the crowd said.

Just as she rounded the corner of the corridor, Su Wanyan heard this sentence.

"What!" the nanny cried out in shock. "Prince Gong...he's inside? Oh my God! What terrible things has my young lady done to deserve this? That Prince Gong would..."

"That's impossible. Prince Gong treats Princess Gong so well, and he even refused to take a concubine in front of the Emperor. He even said he would kill one if one came, and two if two came. How could he possibly do such a thing..."

"After all, he is a prince. How could he really only revolve around Princess Gong? Moreover, if it weren't for a last resort and a twist of fate, how could a prince of his status and position possibly marry a concubine's daughter? Furthermore, now that the prince's leg ailment has healed, it's even less likely that there will only be the princess in the mansion."

Although Su Wanyan's status as a concubine's daughter was nominally elevated to that of a legitimate daughter.

But even the Marquis of Yuanning's residence doesn't acknowledge it, so how could the people in the capital possibly accept it?

Su Wanyan silently appeared behind the group, listening to their chatter. The old woman shouting at the door was heartbroken, as if the sky was about to fall.

Su Wanyan looked left and right before finally speaking, "Which family's woman is it? Why don't you all ask?"

She couldn't guess which family the old woman was from just by looking at her.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around and were shocked to see that it was Su Wanyan.

They all knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "We greet Princess Gong."

Those who can afford to patronize Wangxianglou are either scions of prominent families or sons of officials.

Su Wanyan smiled and said, "Get up, everyone. I've booked all three floors of Wangxiang Tower. I wonder which young lady has stumbled upon this place by chance?"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The old woman who was still wailing rushed over to Su Wanyan as if she had seen a savior.

Xiao Bu immediately stepped forward to block her, only to see the old woman crying with snot and tears streaming down her face: "Your Highness! The Madam visited you at the Prince's residence a few days ago, and you spoke with such righteous indignation, resolutely refusing to allow the Prince to take a concubine. But now... what is the purpose of this commotion! Your Highness, you cannot treat your own elder sister like this just because you are the Princess Consort of Prince Gong and have risen to a higher social status!"

Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan suddenly understood: "Oh—"

Not only Su Wanyan, but everyone around also realized that the person imprisoned inside was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yuanning, the infamous Su Muqing.

Wasn't Su Muqing supposed to be stupid? How did she end up here?

And Su Muqing is going to become a concubine in the Prince's mansion? What's going on here?

Could this be considered... infighting within their own household?
