...
After Consort Cheng and Jing Shuo came out, Jing Shuo felt a deep sense of pent-up frustration and walked forward with hurried steps.
Consort Cheng was left far behind by her son, and she cried out in despair.
"Shuo'er, where are you going?"
Jing Shuo didn't even turn his head, just waved his hand casually.
"Mother, you go back first. I'll go back by myself after I've cleared my head."
Why did such a peaceful day have to be turned into a disaster? Consort Cheng sighed deeply, looking back at the gate of Yongshou Palace and then at the direction her son had gone. She didn't know who to blame.
...
Jing Shuo hurried along with his head down. After walking for a long time, he didn't know where he was. He vaguely heard voices. He walked up the long corridor along the winding bluestone path and saw Yue Jiang diagonally opposite him.
There were only two palace maids and two eunuchs beside Yue Jiang, but Jing Yan was nowhere to be seen. Presumably, she was making arrangements for tomorrow's tasting event.

Yue Jiang had just come out of the Jiaofang Palace and was recalling who had been invited. After all, some of them were members of the Jing Kingdom's royal family, so she couldn't be unfamiliar with them. Who would want to hear Jing Shuo's voice?
She concealed her disgust and nodded lightly: "Second brother."

In a moment, a pale blue bottle came into view before Yue Jiang's eyes. Jing Shuo opened it and a strange fragrance wafted out, but it wasn't the same as the one she wore; it was just an aphrodisiac scent that wafted from the bottle.
Regardless of whether they are the same or not, Jing Shuo's bluntness shows that he is confident of success and wants to use this as an excuse to make a fuss.
Yue Jiang remained calm and waved to the people behind her: "Second brother has a keen sense of smell. It's not very honorable for a prince to have such an ability!"
"It's not exactly honorable for the Crown Princess to possess such a strange fragrance. Shouldn't you tell us your background, sister-in-law?" Jing Shuo's eyes narrowed slightly as he stepped forward, his expression like a viper spitting its tongue.
"Or, I should go and ask my brother, who exactly is the woman he married? Look behind her, my brother is coming over."
