Song Tangxue's face is simply a gift from the Creator. Her eyes are pure, and she is stunningly beautiful, yet she is untouched by any worldly vulgarity, as if she came from the Jade Pool.

Previously worn down by her inferiority complex and gloom, Song Tangxue now seems to have been reborn, her inner and outer confidence giving her a golden glow.

"Isn't Your Highness and the Crown Princess's love stronger than ever?" Song Tangxue said deliberately, "It's better not to rest here with me, lest the Crown Princess find out and be unhappy."

“You have the favor of your father and grandmother, no one will say such things.” Li Zhaoxian continued to take off his clothes as he did so. Song Tangxue gave him a disgusted look as he lowered his head.

This white-cut chicken's physique is no match for Xie Qianzhong's. But then again, one is a second-generation royal who can't lift a finger, while the other is someone who has crawled out of a pile of corpses and is always on edge.

She'll find a chance to cripple Li Zhaoxian, so he'll never be able to think with his lower body again.

“If Your Highness has nothing else to do, you should go see the Crown Princess. She always talks about you, and if you do this, you will hurt her feelings.” Song Tangxue took a step back, gently and gracefully standing a step away from Li Zhaoxian.

It would be best to stay in the Crown Princess's room every day.

"You and she are both my concubines. It is up to me to decide who I favor." Li Zhaoxian sensed the resistance in her words and felt dissatisfied.

"I am not an object, nor do I necessarily belong to anyone!" Li Zhaoxian suddenly thought for a moment and asked in a puzzled tone, "Ali warned you not to come near me?"

Song Tangxue concealed her emotions and reacted almost instantly, pursing her lips and remaining silent, which Li Zhaoxian interpreted as tacit agreement.

Song Tangli was unlike herself today. She was aggressive at the banquet, forcing Song Tangxue to remove her veil to prove her innocence. Those words were not something Song Tangli would say.

The marks all over his body dealt Li Zhaoxian another blow.

Lee So-hyun chuckled self-deprecatingly, wondering which one was the real Song Tang-ri.

"You don't need to worry about it. She can't control where I go!" Li Zhaoxian looked at the beauty under the lamplight and felt a surge of desire. Spending his wedding night with Song Tangxue was not a bad choice.

Li Zhaoxian stood up and slowly walked towards Song Tangxue.

He took a step forward and she took a step back; the distance between them never closed, and in fact, because of Song Tangxue's large strides, it felt like they were growing further apart.

"What's wrong with you?" After pacing around the house several times, Li Zhaoxian stopped. "I know you've been wronged today. I'm here tonight, aren't I?"

He thought Song Tangxue was just throwing a tantrum and that he could calm her down with some coaxing.

Song Tangxue lowered her head and sneered, "You know perfectly well how you got here, yet you're still spouting these high-sounding reasons."

“Your Highness, the Crown Princess is my sister. She considers things for me, so naturally I must consider things for her as well.” Song Tangxue slowly said, “I cannot be involved with my sister’s husband.”

If Song Tangxue had said these words a long time ago, Li Zhaoxian would have been more than happy to hear them.

To this day, however, he doesn't want to hear any of that.

“I am also your husband.” Li Zhaoxian was somewhat heartbroken as he looked at her cautiously: “Are you sure you want to send me away?”

All the reluctance was just an act by Song Tangxue. She lowered her head, and her snow-white neck, illuminated by the candlelight, resembled the finest mutton-fat jade, gleaming with a lustrous sheen that captivated Li Zhaoxian's gaze.

If Li Zhaoxian leaves without saying a word, she will personally set off firecrackers to celebrate!

“But the Crown Prince didn’t say that to me before.” Song Tangxue stated the facts truthfully, even mimicking a few of Li Zhaoxian’s words.

Li Zhaoxian felt bitter. He had indeed said those words before, and for some reason, he took a step back.

The smell of alcohol on Song Tangxue's nose had only dissipated slightly. Li Zhaoxian had shielded Song Tangli from a lot of alcohol, and the smell was awful, which she found repulsive.

She would never have stayed in the same room as Lee So-hyun if she hadn't been forced to.

While the wine wouldn't get Li Zhaoxian drunk, it would slow down his thinking and make it easier for Song Tangli to deceive him.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is very understanding and would never force me."

Finally, Li Zhaoxian was seen out by Song Tangxue. The door was opened again, and the people guarding outside were stunned. How could tonight's events have unfolded so mysteriously?

Even the composed Shan Xing was stunned for a moment. After seeing the person out, Song Tangxue suddenly turned back into the house and took out Li Zhaoxian's cloak.

Li Zhaoxian's belongings couldn't be in the same room as her; she was afraid she would feel nauseous from the smell. She simply said, "Your Highness, it's chilly at night, please put on a cloak."

Song Tangxue held the cloak in her hand, and Shan Xing, who was standing next to her, almost glared at her. Did this Crown Princess not know how to read the room? She just put the cloak on the Crown Prince and then kept it!

The mountain journey was bestowed upon Li Zhaoxian by the emperor. She does not side with the empress or the empress dowager, nor will she side with the crown princess or the crown concubine. Everything is based on the crown prince's wishes.

"Does Eunuch Shanxing have an eye ailment? Do you need me to examine it for you?" Song Tangxue pretended to be blind and asked him with concern.

Shanxing's eyes were fine immediately, never mind.

Rotten wood cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be plastered!

Granny Geng was also full of worry, but Li Zhaoxian's eyes were a little moist. She was actually worried that I might catch a cold. She really loves him to the bone!

The previous neglect was all an act; he only ever had eyes for Song Tangli, which is why he did so many things to attract her attention.

Li Zhaoxian gently accepted the cloak from Song Tangxue's hands, and used the force to pull Song Tangxue into his arms.

Song Tangxue was disgusted. If there weren't so many people around, she would have killed him on the spot!

Fortunately, Li Zhaoxian only gave her a light hug before letting go, not giving Song Tangxue a chance to react: "Rest well, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Lee So-hyeon led his men out of his concubines' courtyard once again; Shan Xing was already numb to it all.

What kind of mess is this? The Crown Prince married two sisters from the Song family in one day. He should be enjoying the bliss of having two wives, but he's spending the night alone.

He sighed softly as he walked through the mountains, utterly sorrowful.

Overall, Li Zhaoxian treated Song Tangxue better, even though the Crown Princess had suddenly fallen out of favor.

It's true that once you get something, you don't cherish it.

Royal families are so heartless, alas.

Shan Xing shook his head and sighed.

The next day, the two nannies returned to the palace to report on their duties in the Empress's palace.

"You're saying the Crown Prince didn't stay in the Crown Princess's palace?" The Empress was clearly incredulous; she knew about the relationship between Li Zhaoxian and Song Tangli.

Now that Song Tangli has finally become the Crown Princess, it's only natural that the two of them be together on their wedding day.

"He wouldn't have gone to the Crown Princess's place, would he?" The Empress's expression was unfriendly. Even after marrying someone and becoming a concubine, he was still so restless.
