Over the years, Yu'er has won the hearts of the people. Ji Fengyan does have some value. At first, she was quite satisfied with Ji Fengyan, but she shouldn't have plotted to frame Yu'er for her own selfish interests.

Jun Linyu was indeed deceived at first, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Had he been fooled by Yan'er's appearance for so long?

He does like Ji Fengyan, but he's not stupid!

The answer was right in front of him, but he just couldn't believe it. What kind of person had he liked all along?

"Yu'er, what's done is done. Your mother hopes you can prioritize what's important."

"Yes, Mother, don't worry, I will handle this matter well."

"Bingyan is the one who was wronged in this matter. After your father's anger subsides in a while, we will have him issue an edict to marry Bingyan as a concubine. Are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Linfeng froze, lowered his head to sip his tea, and a look of unreadable emotion flashed in his eyes.

Consort Liang knew that Liang Bingyan had always liked Yu'er. She had also discussed this matter with her father and elder brother, and they planned to let Yu'er marry her as a concubine when the time was right.

"Your subject is willing."

Although Liang Bingyan's talent was not as good as Ji Fengyan's, she was still quite pretty, not to mention her background.

My grandfather is the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, my father is the city lord of the second largest city in Cangyue Kingdom, my mother is a county princess, and my aunt is the Liang Consort of the current dynasty!

"Your Highness Consort Liang, Miss Biao requests an audience," came the voice of a palace maid from outside the door.

"Summon them." Consort Liang raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.

A light blue figure appeared before everyone's eyes. Liang Bingyan was overjoyed to see that her cousin was indeed there.

"Greetings, Aunt, Third Cousin, Fifth Cousin." Liang Bingyan has a clean and pure appearance, untouched by worldly dust. Her fair face is very well-behaved, and her temperament is like the warm winter sun, extremely healing. She is the kind of beauty that grows on you and is definitely a true beauty.

Jun Linfeng was momentarily stunned, but he quickly covered it up.

"Bingyan, come sit here with your aunt." Consort Liang pointed to the chair next to her.

"Didn't you go back with your grandfather? What brings you to the palace?"

“Aunt, Bingyan wants to explain what happened at today’s banquet. Aunt, cousin, please believe me, it really wasn’t me, and I’ve already found evidence to prove my innocence,” Liang Bingyan explained.

The group exchanged glances, though they had guessed it was Ji Fengyan, they were also curious about the evidence Liang Bingyan had mentioned.

Consort Liang: "Bingyan, tell me what you've discovered!"

“Aunt, it’s Ji Fengyan. Everyone thinks that Ji Fengyan is already my cousin’s third prince’s wife, so there’s no need for this. At this time, everyone will associate me with this. This is what Ji Fengyan wants. In the end, I will take the blame, and Ji Fengyan will benefit the most.”

"And the evidence that she drugged her is on the ring on her right hand."

Liang Bingyan spoke with great conviction.

"Bingyan, how did you find out?" Jun Linyu asked in confusion.

Liang Bingyan was taken aback by Jun Linyu's question. She couldn't very well say that Ji Jiuying had told her, could she? "It's because I remembered that when we were drinking, her right hand would always seem to touch that plate of peanuts."

After hearing that, I instantly had a solution in mind.

Since Ji Fengyan has already lost her virginity to him, if there is solid evidence that she was the one who drugged her, then someone with such questionable character should absolutely not become his third prince's wife.

“Really, cousin, you can go and check it out.”

"Mother, what do you think?" Jun Linyu looked at Consort Liang.

"Let's do as Bingyan says!" Consort Liang nodded.

"I want to go with my cousin too."

"No way." Jun Linyu refused without even thinking.

Consort Liang: "Bingyan, it's getting late, you should go back to your residence."

"Feng'er, you and Bingyan will return to the manor together."

"Yes, Mother." Jun Linfeng's eyes lit up with joy.

Jun Linyu went to the Ji residence.

Sure enough, just as Liang Bingyan had said, he found a trace of untreated aphrodisiac in Ji Fengyan's ring.

However, he did not make a fuss about it.

A dark, hateful glint flashed in Jun Linyu's eyes.

Ji Jiuying and Gong Mingyue had just entered the Imperial Preceptor's mansion.

A capable and unfathomable man led a large entourage to the gate of the Imperial Preceptor's residence. He was none other than Commander Chen Lin, the First Commander of the Imperial Guards most trusted by Emperor Cangyue.

Behind them were four more carriages filled with valuable items.

This attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

Curious onlookers couldn't help but start making all sorts of guesses.

"Wow, why would the emperor suddenly send so many things to the imperial advisor?"

"In my opinion, these are definitely not gifts for the Imperial Advisor."

"If it's not for the Imperial Advisor, then who is it for?"

"You wouldn't know this, would you? News has already spread throughout the palace that Ji Jiuying, who is ranked first on the genius list, has been conferred the title of First-Rank Princess Anping today. These are probably all rewards bestowed upon Princess Anping."

Everyone instantly showed expressions of understanding.

"Sigh~ Now that General Ji's eldest daughter has transformed into the First-Rank Princess of Anping, a rank even higher than her father's, General Ji must be kicking himself for it."

"I'm more than just filled with regret!"

Hahaha~

"···········"

In the crowd, Ji Chenyuan's face darkened. Now the entire capital city was laughing at his Ji family!

Chen Lin arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

The guards at the gate did not recognize Commander Chen, but they knew that the carriage bore the imperial insignia.

"Sir, what is this?"

"I am Chen Lin, the first commander of the Imperial Guards by the Emperor's side. Please go and inform Princess Anping that the Emperor has sent her a reward."

"So it's Commander Chen. I'll go and inform him right away."

Just as Ji Jiuying was about to go to the neighboring courtyard, she heard a servant report that the Emperor had sent someone to deliver something to her.

Ji Jiuying looked at Gong Mingyue with some confusion. What did the emperor mean by this?

"Gong Mingyue, would you like to come along and take a look?"

"I won't be going!"

"Alright then!" Ji Jiuying had already guessed that he wouldn't go out and show his face in public, after all, big shots like to keep a secret!

A short while later, Ji Jiuying arrived at the door.

"This humble general, Chen Lin, pays his respects to Princess Anping." Chen Lin bowed respectfully to Ji Jiuying.

"Commander Chen, no need for formalities!" Ji Jiuying waved her hand somewhat awkwardly, as she was really not used to the palace etiquette.

“Princess Anping, these are all things sent to you by the Emperor.”

When she saw the four large carts full of goods, Ji Jiuying swallowed hard. The emperor was really rich and powerful! We're going to be rich!

Ji Jiuying suppressed her excitement and said calmly, "Thank you for your trouble, Commander Chen."

"Princess, where should we put these things?"

"Commander Chen, just leave it at the door. Someone will come to pick it up later."

As soon as Ji Jiuying finished speaking, a group of guards came out of the Imperial Preceptor's mansion and helped move the carriage's belongings into the mansion.
