Prince Peng took a concubine on a day when peach blossoms were in full bloom.

The entire Sheng'an community was filled with blessings and celebration.

The spring breeze brings frequent good news.

The palace was also filled with a joyous atmosphere, even though no one went to Prince Peng's residence.

But a banquet will be held in the palace tomorrow, and this banquet should be the largest ever.

With Empress Dong and Consort Cui gone, the atmosphere in the palace is just right!

With two more princes, Qian Sha became very well-behaved after becoming pregnant and was also very favored.

No one in the harem is currently more favored than her. She doesn't cause trouble, so everyone takes better care of her, after all, it's her first pregnancy.

Prince Peng's Mansion.

When Empress Dong was alive, the mansion she granted was quite small, much smaller than the Duke of Qi's mansion.

But as a prince's residence, it wouldn't be too small, and at this moment the whole street was filled with joy.

Even if the emperor doesn't come today, the King of Song, the King of Wu, the Duke of Zheng, and others will come, so the entourage will be quite impressive.

The main venue is the Yin'an Hall, although that's a colloquial name. It's actually the largest building in the Prince's Palace.

Only in the Prince's Mansion is there a place that can be called a Palace; the others can only be called a Hall.

It has seven bays across the front, and the platform is seven feet two inches high. The platform has railings.

Entering through the main gate, you pass through the ceremonial gate, where there are five main rooms. Then, you enter through the inner ceremonial gate to reach the Yin'an Hall, which also has a rear hall.

The princess's main venue is Qixianyuan.

This is a large courtyard with three courtyards, and in front are five main rooms, Yixian Hall.

The five rooms in the middle were the princess's private quarters, and there was a bamboo grove in the backyard. At this moment, everyone was filled with joy.

Wenmiao entered the room, and everything went smoothly.

Maids and ladies-in-waiting were attending to him, but the work wasn't over yet. There were still things to do in the next few days.

But for Wen Miao, it was nothing. The Crown Princess would only be more troublesome, especially since she had taken on some of the Empress's duties. Wen Miao couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Qing'e. Fortunately, she was now with His Highness.

Those who spread rumors will eventually disappear.

Is there some disturbance outside the new house?

Rong went out to take a look, and when she came back she almost died laughing, but she was well-mannered and even suppressed her cold laughter.

Without her saying anything, Wenmiao could already hear the shouts outside: Shen's cousin-in-law was going to come in and cause trouble on their wedding night.

Then a lady-in-waiting from the Crown Prince's palace started yelling, "Don't think we won't hit you on such a joyous occasion! You shameless wretch! If you dare ruin this celebration, I'll take your life!"

Wen Miao remained remarkably calm upon hearing this.

Everyone knows Consort Shen is incompetent. It's not a good time to make a move on Wenmiao since he's just entered the household.

However, the Crown Prince's palace is allowed, and the Emperor specifically instructed that they should help each other.

Wenmiao will help the Crown Princess in the future, so it makes sense for the Eastern Palace to help her first.

Rong found Consort Huan quite amusing, mainly because the Shen family was shameless in some ways.

This isn't some backwater where the bride can cause trouble. She's a princess, the eldest daughter-in-law of the emperor. There's no such thing as a bride not being proper for the first three days of marriage! Otherwise, wouldn't they be stepping on the princess's head?

Joking is fine, but to do something disgusting at a time like this is really despicable!

Someone outside is crying.

sharp!

Wenmiao was a man of few words.

But Princess Yongqing couldn't stand it. If the Shen family thought that female officials were not good enough, she would have them all driven away!

Wenmiao felt relieved to hear the Princess standing up for her.

It's not that she's intolerant; in fact, even if King Peng were surrounded by a group of beauties, she would tolerate them just like Qing'e.

Rong knew her master's temperament; the Shen family was truly shameless!

Although it wasn't Shen Pu who did it, outsiders don't care. They just refer to the Shen family.

Even if the Shen family wanted to gain benefits from the Peng Prince's Mansion, why did they have to rush to the wedding?

The eldest princess chased them away, and then the palace maid beat them, finally calming things down.

Not long after, several elderly women from the Shen family arrived.

The female official blocked the doorway and started hitting people.

Wen Miao was inside, and she could vaguely see him, but she was too lazy to go out.

Rong didn't go out to mediate the fight. She didn't even know the surnames of these people; they were probably completely unrelated.

Perhaps they are relatives like those from Baishi Village or the He family, but Shen Pu wouldn't recognize them anyway.

Zhang, the former daughter-in-law of the Prince Peng, explained: "They came before, but I didn't have time to deal with them. I stayed at an inn and was waiting for them to come today."

Wenmiao can understand.

On the wedding day, even a beggar would be given a bowl of meat.

Wang Nafei was different, but how would country folk know that?

They came here today, shameless and trying to bully the new bride on behalf of the royal family? Do they even think they can stand up for the royal family?

There must be someone pulling the strings behind this.

Even if Prince Peng wasn't a good person, no one would let him off the hook. Besides, his siding with the Crown Prince seemed to make him unforgivable.

Wenmiao was unusually calm, unlike a newlywed.

They don't take them seriously, and they don't care much about saving face.

In terms of aloofness, Wenmiao and Qing'e are comparable, but Qing'e is more capable than her.

The female official slaughtered all the old women.

Princess Yongqing was delighted. Qing'e was truly formidable. Let's throw these shameless bastards into Sheng'an Prefecture and lock them up for a few days, see if they behave themselves then!

Actually, they're all quite clever. If they've tried and found that testing the waters yielded no benefit but only harm, then they'll just give up.

After all, these things have little to do with Peng Wang. It's like someone from a county who studied with Shen Pu for a few days—nobody wants to hear about it.

Wenmiao did not give people a generous impression.

Otherwise, with the Crown Princess being so stingy and Princess Peng being so generous, who knows how the competition will turn out tomorrow.

Princess Yongqing remained calm, not taking those things to heart.

Lady Lu from the Prince Wei's residence brought over a beautiful woman.

Lady Lu was in her thirties and was not the Crown Prince's wife. Her seniority was the same as that of the Eldest Princess, making her an elder of Princess Peng.

This beauty is wearing a pink silk robe; she's obviously a slut.

Princess Yongqing stopped them.

Lady Lu had to smile obsequiously at the eldest princess, after all, the eldest princess was a member of the direct line and also enjoyed the emperor's favor.

Princess Yongqing showed no politeness, not even a hint of leniency: "Are you so confused you don't even know where to send it? Someone, take it to Prince Wei's residence!"

The female official joked, "Didn't you come from the Prince Wei's residence?"

The eldest princess asked, "Has Prince Wei ever played this game?"

That's definitely not the case.

If you've already played with it, you should at least give it to King Peng at a different time. For a wedding, you must choose something new.

Therefore, Princess Yongqing said, "Come and share in the joy, send it to Prince Wei, and you can be a groom for a night."

Immediately, someone dragged the beauty away. She shouldn't have come to Princess Peng's place to share in the joy, but she reluctantly gave Prince Wei a face.

Mrs. Lu's face turned black.

The female official was even more blunt: "When are you going to give your daughter away?"

Princess Yongqing asked, "Who else wants to share in the joy?"

Consort Shen Xian is no good, but Princess Yongqing can still hold her own.

With my aunt here, few people dared to cause trouble.

Even the Grand Princess was afraid of being humiliated.

Do you know how many people the sage killed in this battle? He was a complete tyrant.

If it were Prince Peng who was out of favor, that would be one thing.

If he is not favored, fewer people will bother him.

Someone asked, "Wouldn't Prince Peng have no concubines at all?"

The lady-in-waiting asked, "Do you wish to become a concubine?"

That young wife was so angry she died.

Wenmiao was inside the house, listening indistinctly.

Some people are jealous of her.

After all, King Peng is twenty-one years old and hasn't taken a concubine in several years, but he is still a king. So, some people who looked down on him before are now jealous and want to cause trouble. They won't do anything big, just make things annoying.

Those who can come are all of extraordinary status, so when they return the favor, they'll suffer enough.
