Ye Jingxian spoke with confidence: "For no other reason than that Princess Anle would protect the Pingnan Prince's Mansion and prevent the emperor from withdrawing the princes, even if it was just for her own child."
He came up with this idea while he was locked in the ancestral hall these past two days.
He felt that he didn't need to be so passive in this matter.
Marrying Princess Anle seems to be more beneficial than harmful in every way.
Princess Pingnan was not as optimistic as he thought: "But Princess Anle is, after all, a princess of the royal family."
"He came to Liefeng Prefecture originally to abolish the governorship."
“The princess of the royal family is shrewd and ambitious. If he enters the palace, I am worried that it will be like inviting a wolf into the house.”
Ye Jingxian looked at Princess Pingnan and said, "What Mother said makes sense, but women are more sentimental and care more about their children than men."
“He came to Liefeng Prefecture to withdraw his troops, but we can find a way to change his mind.”
He said with great confidence, "Besides, I'm not that good-for-nothing Ye Junfei!"
“I am far superior to Ye Junfei, so it is not difficult for Princess Anle to fall in love with me.”
Princess Pingnan had other concerns, and said softly, "Let me think about this some more."
"Marrying a wife is a major event, and Princess Anle's status makes it far too dangerous."
"Although we've suffered a slight loss right now, we're still in the advantage. There's no need for you to sacrifice your marriage."
"Given the current situation, killing Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan is not difficult."
Ye Jingxian's eyes flickered slightly: "Marrying Princess Anle would be a sacrifice of my own marriage."
"I met him once before, and I thought he was quite good-looking..."
Upon hearing his words, Princess Pingnan knew that he had taken a liking to Princess Anle.
She frowned slightly: "Xian'er, this matter is of great importance and cannot be rushed."
Ye Jingxian nodded: "I will listen to my mother, but this time I was bullied so badly by Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan, this matter must not be left unresolved."
Princess Pingnan nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge this. They won't live much longer."
Lin Xiuyan was unaware of the schemes of Princess Pingnan and Ye Jingxian. If she had known, she might have chuckled and praised herself a few more times.
After all, she had only been married into the Pingnan Prince's Mansion for less than half a month and had lived there for no more than five days, yet she had already instilled such a strong sense of crisis in them.
She's amazing!
She didn't know, so she wouldn't praise herself; at this moment, she was worried about how to learn etiquette.
Ye Qingwan also received the task from Princess Pingnan to teach Lin Xiuyan etiquette.
When she received this task, she smiled on the outside but cursed inwardly.
She's a smart woman; she could tell how many traps were hidden in this matter as soon as she heard about it.
Ye Qingwan instructed Lin Xiuyan to walk a few steps carefully, then sit down with what she considered the most elegant movements, and then smile and bow.
After Lin Xiuyan finished doing as she asked, Ye Qingwan covered her head and said, "Is there a block of tofu? I might as well just smash my head against it and die."
Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "Using tofu to commit suicide is too insincere. How about I go find you a brick?"
Ye Qingwan rolled her eyes at her: "Although I think this thing is completely useless, it represents the face of the royal family."
"Whether you become the Crown Prince's wife or a princess in the future, you must learn, and you must learn to the point that you can command respect."
Lin Xiuyan asked her, "What level of authority is needed to intimidate people?"
"I guess I'll end up looking like this now!" Ye Qingwan got up and took a few steps, then, as was customary, elegantly poured her a cup of tea.
When Lin Xiuyan watched Ye Qingwan perform this set of movements, she found it incredibly elegant and pleasing to the eye.
She asked Ye Qingwan, "How long did it take you to train to this level?"
Ye Qingwan replied, "Not long, maybe three to five years."
Upon hearing this answer, Lin Xiuyan immediately spat out the tea she was drinking.
Ye Qingwan looked at her and said, "Although I think you are very smart and capable, I really think your personality is too wild, and it will be difficult for you to learn this."
Lin Xiuyan replied, "Aren't you also quite wild? How did you learn that?"
Ye Qingwan: "..."
She raised an eyebrow and said, "How did you learn that? Probably because I'm smarter than you!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
How narcissistic!
However, the fact that Ye Qingwan was able to survive alone in the treacherous Pingnan Prince's mansion, and even go far in the future, is enough to prove that she is not only intelligent but also determined.
Ye Qingwan continued, "As the eldest daughter of the main wife, I have been a princess since childhood, but there is no one in the royal palace to take care of me."
"I could only do everything to the best of my ability, try to understand my father's intentions, and balance the relationships among the people in the palace in order to survive in the cracks."
"It sounds simple, but you only know what it's like when you experience it yourself."
Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "From now on, your brother and I will protect you."
Ye Qingwan chuckled softly, "Alright, I also want to experience what it's like to be protected."
"Alright, that's enough. I'll teach you how to quickly learn this set of etiquette."
Lin Xiuyan asked her, "Isn't it supposed to take three to five years to complete the training?"
Ye Qingwan said calmly, "It takes three to five years to learn to be like me, but it's not impossible to learn quickly, as long as you can get a similar look."
"You probably can't expect to ever have that kind of dignified air that comes from within."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She began to understand why Ye Junfei always wanted to beat up Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan's so-called quick-learning method was to make Lin Xiuyan remember the movements, and to be as slow and elegant as possible.
Lin Xiuyan already had a foundation in martial arts, and Ye Qingwan was very good at teaching. Without Ye Junfei's interruptions, she was able to learn quite well in just one afternoon.
Ye Qingwan also discovered Lin Xiuyan's strength: she learns things quickly.
Although Lin Xiuyan had a wild nature, she was not the kind of woman who was vulgar.
She may never learn those pretentious expressions of poise in her entire life, but she can always make sure that no one can find fault with her movements.
To some extent, this is enough to handle things during the Dragon Boat Festival.
After Lin Xiuyan finished learning etiquette, Ye Qingwan winked at her and said, "I'll deal with that package. We'll split the money later."
Lin Xiuyan knew she was referring to what she had snatched from the luminous pearl, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay."
After Lin Xiuyan left, Ye Qingwan watched her retreating figure with envy. She also wanted to live like Lin Xiuyan, unrestrained, flamboyant, and passionate.
The Prince's Palace was a place where the strong preyed on the weak, and in such a place, one careless move could result in a gruesome death.
She hoped that they could all live well in the future, and she also hoped that she could live the life she wanted.
When Lin Xiuyan returned, Yan Jiushu was standing in the courtyard.
The moment he saw her, his face was filled with an indescribable expression.
He was only away from the palace yesterday because of some business, and in just one day she's caused so much trouble!
