The room fell silent.

Heyue closed her eyes, and because she was so tired, she fell asleep in no time.

When I woke up again, it was already evening.

Heyue felt hungry and was helped to get dressed by Hailan and Chunya.

"Princess, Consort Guarjia has come to pay her respects," Hailan whispered in her ear.

Heyue was stunned for a moment before she remembered that there was a concubine in the mansion.

Heyue hadn't seen this concubine since morning and had almost forgotten about her.

"Let her in."

Soon, Lady Guarjia arrived.

He Yue glanced up unintentionally and couldn't help but smile.

What a coincidence! I didn't expect it to be someone I knew.

"This humble servant greets the Fujin." Guarjia Kexin bowed respectfully to Heyue, her eyes lowered, her voice clear, melodious, and gentle.

"Sister Guarjia, it's been a long time," He Yue said with a smile.

The person in front of her was none other than Guarjia Kexin, who used to be close to Wanyan Mingshuang and together they targeted the Heyue sisters.

Guarjia Kexin's eyebrows twitched, and she coldly curled her lips: "Your Majesty is of noble birth, and I am not worthy of being called 'elder sister'." Her posture was respectful, but her tone was extremely impolite.

His gaze, sharp as a knife, sliced ​​across Heyue's face.

He Yue chuckled lightly, ignoring her hostility: "Although I am the primary consort, you are older than me, so it is only right that I call you 'elder sister'. However, this will only be once, as you know, the rules do not allow it."

Lady Guarjia was so angry that her face turned pale, but she had no choice but to suppress her anger and lower her eyes: "What the Princess Consort says is true."

He Yue raised an eyebrow; that was indeed strange.

In the past, when did you ever meet someone who wasn't aggressive and domineering? Why are you so meek and submissive now?

Soon, the Thirteenth Prince strode in from outside.

He Yue stiffened, suddenly remembering what had just happened, and looked away somewhat uncomfortably.
