The Third Prince left with the maid, leaving Tong Cheng'er behind. She couldn't help but wonder, "It's one thing for Third Sister-in-law to glare at her own maid, but why is she glaring at me? What did I do to offend her?"

Yinzhen nodded: "Ignoring her is probably because she feels resentful."

Tong Cheng'er nodded in agreement. As a fellow princess consort, the Third Prince's mischievous nature did make her lose face among her sisters-in-law, but that was not a reason for her to drag others into it at will.

If you're so capable, just glare at the Third Prince directly. Why glare at an innocent person like her?

Upon returning home, the Third Prince's wife couldn't help but curse, "You slut!"

The old nanny beside her said with a pained expression, "Madam, be careful what you say."

Hearing this, the Third Prince's wife became even more upset.

It took her a while to calm down before she asked, "Should we go ask Grandpa if he's coming over tonight?"

"Yes, Madam."

After a while, the old nanny came over and said cautiously, "Madam, the master said that he won't be staying tonight and that you shouldn't wait for him."

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess Consort suddenly lost all her strength. She abruptly said, "Granny, do you think I went too far?"

The old woman shook her head: "The princess is just too concerned about the master. It's the master who can't see your good qualities."

The Third Princess Consort chuckled, finding the remark quite amusing.

She was a favored daughter of heaven, outstanding in everything from childhood to adulthood. She married a prince and became his primary wife. At first, the two lived happily together, but at some point, the number of people in the harem began to increase.

Seeing the deep affection between the Fourth Prince and his wife today, she suddenly felt that this was all so meaningless!

The Third Princess said weakly, "Granny, I feel tired."

"My lady, this servant will help you rest."

The Third Princess nodded: "Have someone prepare water."

After washing up, the Third Princess Consort lay down and slept for a while, and woke up the next day.

"Madam, are you still wearing bright red today?"

The Third Princess shook her head and refused, saying, "Have someone bring over a set of Mongolian clothing."

Although the maid found it strange, she still obediently did as she was told.

The Third Prince Consort asked, "Go and ask the Crown Princess and the Fourth Prince Consort if they are free today. If they are, ask them if they want to go horseback riding."

"Yes, Madam."

When Tong Cheng'er heard that the Third Princess Consort had asked her if she wanted to go horseback riding, she was quite surprised. This person had glared at her yesterday, so what was going on today? Why was she suddenly asking her to go horseback riding?

Tong Cheng'er shook her head and refused, saying, "Ru Xue, go and tell her yourself that I have some things to take care of these few days."

"Yes, Madam."

The Crown Princess was naturally also busy, as she had to entertain the Mongolian princesses and demonstrate royal grandeur.

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess Consort lost interest in horseback riding. Since she didn't want to disturb the Crown Princess, she went directly to Tong Cheng'er's place.

After all, the two of them lived close by.

Just as Tong Cheng'er instructed someone to call a few clever cooks, Ru Xue came in and said, "Madam, the Third Madam has arrived."

Tong Cheng'er was taken aback: "Third sister-in-law is here?"

Is something wrong with her?

"Please invite Third Sister-in-law in."

As soon as the Third Princess entered, Tong Cheng'er noticed her difference. She was wearing Mongolian clothing today, and her face was almost bare of makeup, making her look fresh and beautiful.

Tong Cheng'er looked amazed: "Third Sister-in-law, your outfit today is beautiful. It makes you look even more gorgeous. I'm completely mesmerized."

Kind words don't cost money, so Tong Cheng'er doesn't mind praising people. Of course, if the person can't handle praise, then that's another story.

The reason she praised her today was mainly because the Third Princess Consort was indeed dressed beautifully, and also because she didn't seem to be there to cause trouble.

The Third Princess was taken aback by what she heard, perhaps not expecting that she would actually compliment her on her looks. After a moment of stunned silence, she smiled, for no woman dislikes being praised for her beauty.

"Fourth sister-in-law, you really know how to talk."

Seeing that her attitude was genuinely kind, Tong Cheng'er smiled and said, "What I'm saying is the truth."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tong Cheng'er felt increasingly strange. Today, the Third Princess Consort seemed like a completely different person. Before, she was like a firecracker, ready to explode at any moment.

He speaks very gently now.

After a while, the chef that Tong Cheng'er had asked to find arrived.

Seeing this, Tong Cheng'er explained, "I was planning to make some food. It's a bit of a big fuss. If you don't like it, I'll apologize to you another day."

The Third Prince's wife didn't mind, but simply asked, "What does your sister-in-law plan to cook?"

Tong Cheng'er: "I don't know either, but Mongolia has a lot of specialties. Since it's too hot to go back, I'll ask someone to see if we can make some that are easy to preserve, so that when we get back to the capital, my mother in Yonghe Palace can try them."

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess Consort thought of the Consort in Yonghe Palace and couldn't help but smile and say, "Sister-in-law is so virtuous. Even when you come to Mongolia, you don't forget to be filial to your mother-in-law. I happen to have nothing to do anyway, so why don't you take some with you? I'll bring this local specialty back to Mother later."

Although Tong Cheng'er found her strange, it seemed that her presence didn't bother her.

So he nodded in agreement.

"If you don't find it boring, then let's join in!"

The cooks came in; there were five cooks in total.

"This servant greets Your Highness."

Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Get up, everyone."

"Xie Fujin".

Tong Cheng'er said, "I called you all here today because there are some things I need you to do. Who among you is in charge?"

"This servant, Miao Ping'an, will give his instructions, Your Highness."

Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Okay, that's how it is. There's a lot of beef and mutton in Mongolia, as well as a lot of cow and sheep milk. Now that the weather is hot, what kind of food can you make that can be preserved for a long time? That way, when I go back to Beijing, I won't crave it so much."
