After the banquet, Qingyan and the others discussed going for a stroll together the next day. However, the relationship between the Crown Princess and the Eighth Prince's wife became even closer.

At the entrance of Yuelai Inn, several luxurious carriages stopped, and several elegant and graceful ladies stepped out. Qingyan stood at the entrance.

The shopkeeper came out to greet his master. In the past few days, news of the arrival of the royal ladies had been circulating in the commercial street, and many people had brought in better goods in preparation for the patronage of these noble ladies.

"Master, the private room has been prepared!" the manager said directly to Qingyan.

Qingyan nodded and went up to the private room on the second floor with her sisters-in-law. The other women went to the next room, while Qingyan went to her own private room alone.

"Has anything happened recently?" Qingyan believed that after the royals arrived, someone would definitely cause trouble behind the scenes, so this was the time to gather more information.

"Master, yesterday the Eighth Prince's wife sent her maid over, saying she wanted to reserve your private room." The manager personally received this person, and the Eighth Prince's wife spoke in a condescending manner, which made the manager sneer.

While in the capital, Qingyan instructed all the Yuelai Inns and Linglong Pavilions that all orders from the Jueluo clan should be processed as ordinary orders.

"When?" Qingyan was taken aback. The relationship between the Eighth Prince's wife and her was not good, so she rarely used the Yuelai Inn. This was clearly not the one she used.

"Yesterday evening, Master, it was for lunch today!" the innkeeper said to Qingyan. "After I refused, that person booked room number five in the top tier. You shouldn't go out later. If you need anything, just have the waiter at the door give me instructions!"

Qingyan nodded, gave a few instructions to the manager, and then left.

Inside the second private room, the women began ordering their food, waiting for Qingyan to arrive so they could order hers.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, you're back?" Ninth Princess Consort said quickly when she saw Qingyan return.

Qingyan nodded: "The Eighth Princess Consort will meet with someone in room number five later!"

What?!

The five of them stared at her in disbelief.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, what did you say?" Tenth Princess asked, looking at Qingyan. "Eighth Sister-in-law is coming to the Yuelai Inn?"

Qingyan nodded: "That's what the shopkeeper just said."

"Eighth Sister-in-law has always spoken ill of you, but now you've come to Yuelai Inn. Do you have some other requests?" Ninth Princess asked Qingyan.

"They want to use my private room. Every Yue Lai Inn reserves one for me!" Qingyan shrugged. "I only use this private room when I'm handling official business alone, and only when Father Emperor and Fourth Prince come over!"

"This person has no self-awareness at all. How could he possibly lend such an important private room to someone else?" the Tenth Princess Consort sneered.

"That's right, I think that person is just greedy!" Ninth Prince's wife and Lady Guoluo had a very good relationship. After Lady Guoluo's divorce, Ninth Prince's wife had even less faith in Yinsi and hoped that Yinneng would no longer get involved with Yinsi.

Fortunately, Yin regained his senses in time, which saved him.

Now, Ninth Prince Consort feels that following Yin is better than following Yin Si.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, should we try to stay home as much as possible?" Ninth Princess asked Qingyan.

"No need, there are waiters at the door. If you need anything, just tell them!" Qingyan said to Ninth Princess Consort.

"I'll have someone prepare anything else you like to eat!" Qingyan asked, looking at everyone.

They all expressed what they wanted to eat, and Qingyan quickly had someone prepare it. While the sisters-in-law were chatting, the Eighth Prince's wife had already arrived with her entourage.

The Eighth Prince's wife had a shrill voice that made her sisters-in-law feel uncomfortable.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, this Eighth Sister-in-law is so unruly. When we go out, everyone is just like her!" the Tenth Princess muttered from the side.

Both Yin Genjueluo and Qingyan frowned. The Eighth Princess Consort hadn't hidden her identity at all; the common people below must all know that this person was the Eighth Princess Consort.

Judging from the impression of the Eighth Prince's wife, it's hard to guarantee that people won't generalize this image to every female member of the royal family.

"Sister-in-law, shall we go and take a look?" Qingyan asked, looking at Yingenjueluo.

"No need, I can't afford to lose face like that. Didn't you hear what the Eighth Princess said? A distinguished person will appear soon." Yin Genjue Luo Shi sneered.

The only women in the palace who could become Noble Ladies, besides the Crown Princess, were the Eighth Prince's consort. Currently, all the women in the palace were accompanying Kangxi and were unlikely to leave.

"Could it be... the Crown Princess has come out?" the Tenth Princess Consort said, looking at everyone.

"It should be, but why is the Crown Princess out here now?" Qingyan looked at her sisters-in-law.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, if we stay here without informing the Crown Princess, will we...?" Ninth Princess Consort asked Qingyan.

"Forget it, let's not go. We shouldn't interrupt their conversation!" Qingyan shook her head. "Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

“There’s no need to go. If we go, we’ll definitely ruin their plans!” said Yingenjueluo.

After a moment's thought, the wives realized that the eldest wife was right; the two of them appearing together must be discussing something.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, I always feel that you should be more careful!" The Eighth Prince's wife's attitude towards the Fourth Prince's wife is evident here, so her unusual invitation to this banquet is unlikely to be anything disruptive.

"Sulan, go and remind the manager to be careful when feeding room number five. Have the servants there keep an eye on things and make sure they don't find any loopholes." Qingyan quickly instructed, "Ninth Sister-in-law, that's a very timely reminder. Otherwise, we might have really fallen into a trap!"

"Fourth Sister-in-law, you just don't like thinking about these things. In fact, the women only have a few places to go!" Ninth Princess Consort said with a smile.

The sisters-in-law chatted together, and time flew by. Qingyan checked the time and realized it was lunchtime.

“Alright, let’s chat in the room. Listening to the sounds over there makes me feel ashamed too,” said Ninth Princess Consort.

"Sister-in-law, you really have a sharp tongue that won't let you off the hook!" Yin Genjue Luo Shi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Sister-in-law, I'm telling the truth. Look at what those people are doing!" Ninth Princess Consort said with emotion.

Qingyan thought that the Crown Princess had actually come out like this without hiding her identity. Nanbo, not the Eighth Prince's wife, meant that many of the officials' wives from the south were watching the Yuelai Inn. If the royal women came, it would be overcrowded.
