"If it weren't for the fact that Song Wanning had the entire General's Mansion and the Prime Minister behind her, I wouldn't care who she was. I would have avenged Xiangyu immediately." Concubine Xian was now feeling a headache and spoke slowly, "Last time, Xiangyu wanted to send a concubine to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but who knew that the Prime Minister would actually trick Xiangyu? With such a vengeful personality, if Song Wanning suffered a loss in our territory, who knows what kind of chaos the Prime Minister would cause."
"Mother, don't you understand the twists and turns in the court today? The Prime Minister is our enemy now, and we will definitely deal with him in the future. Although we are still relatively young, it is a good idea to test the Prime Minister's strength first." Xie Ke responded calmly after hearing what Concubine Xian said, "The General's Mansion behind Song Wanning may have influence in the court, but it can't surpass us. Song Wanning is nothing to be afraid of."
Seeing Prince An acting impulsively, Concubine Xian immediately spoke unhappily, "Good child, think carefully now. The Prime Minister's influence in the capital is far more than just what we have now. In that case, winning over the court officials is the most important thing now. We should take the long view in dealing with Song Wanning. Now, I will just give her a few words of advice."
"Now that Song Wanning is the Prime Minister's wife, I'm afraid she's made many enemies in the capital. We can bring her down without her even having to do anything." Xie Ke has always been a thoughtful person. He laughed and said, "The Prime Minister is arrogant in the court. I'm afraid there are many people who want to bring him down. People outside see our high status and want to use us to deal with Song Wanning. So we can also use people outside to deal with her."
Princess Xiangyu immediately thought Xie Ke's words were feasible. Standing beside Xie Ke, she laughed and said, "I knew that my brother was the best to me. Now I have become the laughing stock of the entire capital. If Song Wanning hadn't been unlucky, I'm afraid I would never be able to turn things around in this life."
Xie Ke narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, then said calmly, "Didn't Madam Xu come to the palace to instigate my sister? I can talk to her good husband in detail and tell him not to bother my sister unless necessary. If there is anything, just go and deal with Yin Yichen."
Xie Ke said this, and then raised his head to glance at Princess Xiangyu, "Let's not talk about anything else, today's plan must proceed as usual."
Princess Xiangyu responded and said slowly, "Today is just a lesson for Song Wanning. It can be regarded as a small punishment for a big warning."
Now, Song Wanning and Liu Yuyuan were standing outside, talking in front of the peonies. Liu Yuyuan looked at Song Wanning and said calmly, "Before you married the Prime Minister, he had a bad reputation. Not long after you got married, some people started speaking on his behalf. It wasn't like that before. So it seems you're a lucky star."
"My reputation isn't very good either, so it's quite fitting for a second-married woman to marry a prime minister with a sharp tongue." Song Wanning chuckled softly as she stood beside Liu Yuyuan. "We both have bad reputations, so I'm surprised that my reputation is improving now."
"But the Prime Minister is in the capital right now, and he's been criticized quite a bit, and he's made quite a few enemies." Liu Yuyuan was genuinely worried about Song Wanning. "You'd better be careful in your daily dealings, and don't fall into other people's traps."
"I know what's going on." Song Wanning looked down at her toes and said slowly, "Now that I'm married to the Prime Minister, I know what I'll have to face in the future."
The two were whispering to each other. Wu Junrou and Madam Xu, who were standing opposite Song Wanning, wanted to stab Song Wanning to death with their eyes.
Wu Junrou balled up her handkerchief, glanced at Madam Xu beside her, and asked softly, "I wonder if Princess Xiangyu will teach Song Wanning a lesson now. If she doesn't, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything to her for the time being. Now the master of the family is completely bewitched by that vixen and doesn't care about anything in the mansion. It's giving me a headache. Now that I've entered the palace, I still have to endure such humiliation. I really can't accept it."
Seeing Wu Junrou like this, Madam Xu immediately comforted her, "Don't worry, I've heard the princess's plan. Now that Song Wanning has entered the palace, she will definitely fall into the princess's trap. Let's wait and see."
After hearing this, Wu Junrou's expression finally eased a little, and she stood with Madam Xu to admire the peonies in the palace.
Madam Xu has always been a frequent visitor to the palace and has a good relationship with Princess Xiangyu. Princess Xiangyu told her her plan on how to teach Song Wanning a lesson.
Everyone was admiring the peonies, and Song Wanning was whispering in front of the flowers. After a while, a palace maid came in from outside, holding the best Longjing tea prepared from Dehua Palace and presenting it to the ladies.
Song Wanning saw the tea handed over by the palace maid and heard the palace maid say in a low voice, "Madam Yin, please try this fine Longjing tea. This is specially prepared by the imperial concubine for all the ladies."
After hearing this, Song Wanning reached out to take the tea handed to her by the palace maid and said thank you softly.
But before Song Wanning could hold the teacup firmly, the palace maid opposite her slipped and spilled the entire cup of tea onto Song Wanning's sleeve.
Before Song Wanning could say anything, Liu Yuyuan beside her screamed, "Oh? How could you be so careless?"
Song Wanning's dress was completely soaked. Seeing this, the maid in front of her knelt down hurriedly, kowtowed to Song Wanning, and said, "Madam Yin, I am so sorry. My hand shook and I spilled the tea on you. It was really unintentional."
"Forget it." Song Wanning didn't want to cause any more trouble now, so she just said calmly, "I'll go change into my new clothes in the carriage. You don't have to kneel on the ground. If someone sees you, they'll think I'm bullying you."
At this moment, Princess Xiangyu from the palace came out and happened to see this scene. She immediately said, "What is Cuixian doing? I asked you to serve tea to the ladies, but why are you kneeling alone in front of Madam Yin? If someone saw this, they would think that Madam Yin is bullying others by abusing her power and not treating the palace maids as human beings."
Princess Xiangyu's words were quite fluent. It seemed she had already planned to tell Song Wanning about them. Thus began her plan for Song Wanning.
Seeing this, the girl named Cuixian in front of Song Wanning immediately looked up at Xiangyu with a bitter face and said, "Princess, I accidentally spilled tea on Madam Yin and I am apologizing to her. This is all my fault. Please punish me, Madam. It has nothing to do with me."
