Inside the carriage, Lady Soetu looked at Xu Yan with a gloomy expression. "Yan'er, you were too impulsive today!"

“Godmother, I…” Xu Yan looked at Madam Suo’etu with some grievance.

Xu Yun didn't want to pay any attention to the two people, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"No matter how much dissatisfaction you have, you have to endure it because she is the Crown Princess. Even the ladies of the harem wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of her."

When you enter Yuqing Palace, you'll be working under the Crown Princess. If you make her unhappy with you now, how can you expect to have a good life later?

"You should stay in the manor and learn the rules, and temper your temper!" Lady Soetu said sternly.

"Yes, I understand!" Xu Yan replied reluctantly.

Lady Soetu looked at Xu Yun and then noticed that Xu Yun was asleep. She took a blanket and covered her with it. In her heart, she still liked Xu Yun quite a bit. She was straightforward, unpretentious, and very filial to her.

If one of the sisters was destined to enter the palace, she would still prefer Xu Yan. On the one hand, Xu Yun didn't have such thoughts, and on the other hand, entering the palace wasn't a good thing. Xu Yun was simple-minded and probably wouldn't be able to survive in the palace.

Since Xu Yan is determined to enter the palace, she must learn to face all of this and learn to be patient.

"Don't worry, you just need to wait patiently. When the time is right, you will naturally enter Yuqing Palace," Lady Suo'etu said in a slightly gentler tone.

“Yes, godmother!” Xu Yan replied.

"You are now the master's adopted daughter. Your words and actions represent not only yourself but also the Hesheli clan! Therefore, you must restrain yourself and be careful with your words and deeds!"

"Yes, Godmother, please rest assured, I will certainly not disappoint you and Godfather, nor will I bring shame upon the Hesheli clan!" Xu Yan was confident that she held a certain position in the Crown Prince's heart.

"Good, I believe you have the ability!" Madam Suo'etu had high hopes for Xu Yan.

After Xue finished getting ready, the Crown Prince was already waiting for her in the carriage!

When the Crown Prince learned that He Xue had arrived, he reached out and pulled her into the carriage.

"Brother Crown Prince, have you been waiting for a long time?" He Xue asked.

"I don't mind waiting for you, no matter how long it takes!"

"Why is Crown Prince so sweet-talking today? Is he feeling guilty?" He Xue asked with a smile.

"Haven't I ever been good with words? Doesn't Xue'er know that?" The Crown Prince approached Xue and whispered.

He Xue gave the Crown Prince a playful glare, "Always so glib!"

"Did they make things difficult for you?" the prince asked.

“There’s no trouble at all. Lady Suo’etu wants to find a good family for Xu Yan, but she feels that no one is good enough for Xu Yan! So she has set her sights on you and wants to strengthen the family ties through marriage!” He Xue said in a less than pleasant tone, then looked at the Crown Prince, wanting to know what he would say.

The Crown Prince, holding He Xue's hand, said, "Song'etu is really senile. I'll definitely talk to him about this another day and tell him not to send any Tom, Dick, or Harry to my side!"

"Any Tom, Dick, or Harry? If Xu Yan knew you said that, she would probably be very sad!" He Xue said with a smile.

"What does her sadness have to do with me!" the crown prince said disdainfully. "All I want is you!"

He Xue leaned on the Crown Prince's shoulder, "Crown Prince, does Father Emperor know we left the palace?"

"You should know!" The Crown Prince was somewhat looking forward to seeing how Kangxi would react when he found out they had left the palace.

During the morning court session, Kangxi noticed that the Crown Prince's seat was empty and wondered if the Crown Prince had been upset because of the Eighth Prince's affair. After all, the Crown Prince rarely missed court sessions in the past.

“Your Majesty, He Zhu just said that the Crown Prince has requested leave. This is the Crown Prince’s memorial!” Liang Jiugong said to Kangxi.

"You've taken leave? Is the Crown Prince feeling unwell?" Kangxi asked worriedly.

"No, the Crown Prince wants to take the Crown Princess to the estate for a relaxing stroll!" Liang Jiugong said, glancing at Kangxi's expression. [Who told you to wrongly accuse the Crown Prince?]

"Hmph! I wanted to clear my head!" Kangxi said irritably. [It seems the Crown Prince is throwing a tantrum. I did wrong him, but he can't skip court!]

Emperor Kangxi opened the Crown Prince's memorial and read it with great pleasure.
