This is the first time that so many people in the court have stood on He Jiuniang's side.

It's mainly from the perspective of the country; they have no reason to side with outsiders.

Even the dissenting voices dared not say that Princess Xiteng was right; they simply insisted that Beiyan should uphold the proper way of hospitality and not make a fool of itself.

However, such voices quickly disappeared amidst the other upright voices. They were too targeted, and if they dared to speak out again, they might be suppressed and beaten.

This time, without Lu Baichuan saying anything, the Crown Prince expressed without any pressure that he would definitely seek justice for He Jiuniang.

Because He Jiuniang deliberately concealed the truth, Lu Baichuan only learned about what happened yesterday when he came to court. He was relieved to know that it was his wife who had hit someone and that she hadn't suffered any loss.

But he kept the two Hou brothers in mind. What was going on with those two? Had his wife bribed them to pass on messages to him?

The two Hou brothers didn't care about any of that; they had no choice, their wives gave them so much!

In this sweltering weather, with ice jelly and iced milk tea one minute, plus a few other specialty snacks, who wouldn't be overwhelmed!

Who can still remember the generals who trained hard in the barracks?

After the decision was made in the court, someone was immediately sent to the post station to inform the envoys of Xiteng, hoping that they would take it seriously and apologize to He Jiuniang as soon as possible, otherwise they might consider refusing the negotiations.

Yes, negotiations.

Attending the Crown Prince's coronation ceremony is also a diplomatic negotiation between several countries. The previous contracts have just expired, so they will be slightly modified and a new contract will be signed.

Although there are frictions between the countries, there is also cooperation; otherwise, why would they come to participate in the coronation ceremony?

"Bei Yan has really gone too far!"

Kaya was so angry when she heard the report from the visitor that she kept smashing things.

"I was the one who was wronged, yet they still expect me to apologize! Doesn't even the Crown Prince of Beiyan know I was injured?!"

Kaya had originally longed to marry the Crown Prince. Even if she had a principal wife, it wouldn't affect her ability to perform. With her motherland's support, she could have a few more children and be the head of the household in Beiyan.

But now, after seeing how the Crown Prince of Beiyan handled things, she hesitated.

If they don't know how to care for others now, how can they expect to care for others in the future?

"Princess, perhaps the Crown Prince of Beiyan hasn't met you yet and doesn't know how good you are, which is why he's so biased towards He Jiuniang. Why don't you find an opportunity to go to the palace and see him tomorrow?"

Someone gave her advice, and the envoy was very confident in her beauty, after all, she was the most beautiful woman in Xiteng.

These words reminded Kaya that she had been in Beiyan for so long and had never even seen the Crown Prince. No wonder he wasn't captivated by her beauty!

"But I'm injured!"

She has injuries and difficulty moving around; it would be bad if she embarrassed herself.

"If used properly, it can become a sharp weapon!"

Hearing this, Kaya was immediately relieved. Since there was no rule about when she would go to the Lu family to apologize, as long as she could win over the Crown Prince of Beiyan during this period, she could turn the tide.

It has to be said that these people from Xiteng take themselves too seriously. While Beiyan is concerned with relations between countries, they are concerned with personal feelings.

The next day, Kaya did indeed go to the palace, but she didn't go directly to the Crown Prince; instead, she went to see the Crown Princess.

Having heard that the Crown Princess of Beiyan was pregnant, she prepared a gift and also wanted to see what kind of person her future rival would be.

The other party was an envoy and the most favored princess of Xiteng, so the Crown Princess had no reason not to meet her. Although she knew it was nothing good, she still wanted to see what the other party was up to, so she still granted her an audience.

Kaya abandoned her previous arrogance and domineering attitude, and even put on makeup to look like a sickly beauty. Her lips were so pale that she looked like she was about to die, and it was unknown how much flour she had applied.

No one knew how much perfume she had applied, but as soon as she approached, a strong fragrance wafted over. The Crown Princess was pregnant and couldn't stand the overly pungent smell. Before she could say anything, she covered her mouth and went to the side to vomit.

Kaya froze on the spot. She had just walked in, hadn't had time to bow or speak, and the Crown Princess had already vomited.

She's the most beautiful woman in Xiteng, so why would someone vomit upon seeing her?

Kaya's chest heaved violently with anger. If it weren't for the need to see the Crown Prince today, why would she have to suffer this humiliation?

She clenched her fist, trying to maintain a smile, and asked with a hint of surprise and concern, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should we summon an imperial physician to take a look?"

"No need, it was my rudeness, please forgive me, Princess."

After the Crown Princess finished vomiting, she quickly covered her nose with her hand and dared not let Kaya get close again.

Kaya saw the aloofness in her eyes and bit her lip repeatedly.

That damn fat woman actually looked down on her!

"It's alright. Pregnant women have strange tastes, and I won't mind."

As she spoke, she smiled gracefully.

Now it was the Crown Princess's turn to look unhappy; this was an insult to her tastes that was beneath her dignity.

The Crown Princess narrowed her eyes. This person was clearly hostile; they had come to intimidate her.

Thinking of this, the Crown Princess decided not to pretend anymore and said to the maid beside her, "I don't like these strange smells. Go and get the perfume that Madam Lu gave me and put some on for me."

That's right, it's a sarcastic remark that Kaya's scent is too strange and not as pleasant as her perfume.

The maid quickly brought over the perfume and applied some under her nose. She took a deep breath and finally smiled.

“Princess Kaya, is this your first time visiting Beiyan? It’s understandable that your Xiteng region doesn’t have many precious spices and doesn’t have any nice-smelling powders or balms. I happen to have quite a few good things here. You can take some back and try them out later.”

Although both men were smiling, the tension between them was palpable. The maids around them dared not speak, fearing that the two would start fighting.

"No need. I came to visit Your Highness today, not to ask for favors. I just didn't expect that Your Highness wouldn't appreciate my good intentions. Oh well, after all, Your Highness gets along very well with that country woman, so it's understandable that you might have picked up some bad habits. However, I still want to advise Your Highness: 'One who stays near bad things gets tainted.' Don't embarrass Bei Yan."

After saying that, she got up and left, completely forgetting what she had originally intended to do.

The Crown Princess was giving him such a cold shoulder, so she wasn't willing to serve her.

Even if she enters the palace as a concubine in the future, she doesn't want to have much contact with her. The Crown Princess's maternal family is not as powerful as hers, and even if she can use her status as the principal wife to suppress her, she won't gain much benefit.

She just didn't expect that she would run into the Crown Prince as she strode away.

The scene was quite peculiar: a woman with the makeup of a sickly beauty was able to act like a rude man, leaving the viewer momentarily at a loss for what to do.
