"Miss, your 'golden cicada shedding its shell' trick is brilliant."
The girl in purple leaned comfortably against the soft couch and smiled, "These past three days, I've been trying to win over that Fifth Princess Consort. When she lowers her guard, that will be my chance."
The dead person was just her double, and that face was just a disguise. Although Xiao Yanzi knew how to disguise herself, her skills weren't that good, so she couldn't tell that the girl in purple was a disguise.
"Chunzhu, let's go see the Fifth Princess Consort. Oh, and remember to bring the whip I prepared for her." The girl in purple glanced at the sky, then got up to go into the palace.
Chunzhu was her personal maid and had done a lot for her. Now that she was going to enter the palace, she would naturally follow in her footsteps.
As soon as the two stepped out of the room, the girl in purple saw her father approaching. "Father."
When Minister of Revenue Li Wendong saw his beloved daughter about to leave again, he asked curiously, "Ruoyu, where are you going?"
“Father, I plan to go to the palace to see the Fifth Princess Consort.”
Hearing this, Li Wendong's eyes lit up. "Good, good, good! Go quickly! Ruoyu, you are really amazing. You have gained the trust of the Fifth Prince Consort so quickly and even obtained a special token to enter the palace. Now, as long as you hold on to the Fifth Prince Consort, our Li family has a bright future."
"However, I must remind you, do not have any thoughts about the Fifth Prince, otherwise the Fifth Princess Consort will never let this go!"
Li Ruoyu nodded slightly, "Father, I know my own worth, how could I dare to compete with the Fifth Prince's wife for someone? Do I want to live too long?"
"Alright, my dear daughter, go ahead." Li Wendong had no idea how ambitious his precious daughter was.
Li Ruoyu, accompanied by Chunzhu and holding the token, successfully entered the palace and arrived at Yonghe Palace.
Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi had just finished their meal and planned to take a stroll in the courtyard to digest their food.
When Li Ruoyu came in, she saw Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi walking hand in hand in the courtyard.
"This humble woman greets the Fifth Prince and his wife." Li Ruoyu stood respectfully to the side and bowed to them.
Little Swallow then noticed her figure, "Ruoyu, what brings you here?"
Li Ruoyu stepped forward and said, "The truth of the matter only came to light today. After hearing people outside clarifying things for the Princess Consort, I went to the palace to congratulate her."
"By the way, I also brought the gift that Ruoyu wanted to give to the Fujin."
"Chunzhu." Li Ruoyu looked at Chunzhu, who was standing to the side, and asked her to hand the whip to Xiaoyanzi.
Little Swallow took the whip and examined it carefully. "This is a fine whip. Ruoyu, when did you prepare it?"
Li Ruoyu smiled slightly and said, "Ruoyu has been preparing for some time. She originally intended it as a birthday gift for the Princess Consort, but who would have thought that something like this would happen? So she sent the gift in ahead of time, also thinking that this whip might be able to calm the Princess Consort down!"
After all, Xiao Yanzi is no ordinary woman, so giving her a whip for self-defense is much more effective than any calming soup.
"Yongqi, look, the material of this whip is not bad, I want to try it out..."
Little Swallow couldn't contain herself and wanted to try the whip herself, but Yongqi stopped her, saying, "If you really want to see the power of this whip, then let me try it. I'll give it to you after I've tried it!"
Although Yongqi had already checked the whip and found it to be fine, he was still worried, so he took the whip back anyway. If there was a problem, he would be the one to suffer first!
Seeing Yongqi's insistence, Xiaoyanzi had no choice but to watch him wave his whip in the yard.
Watching Yongqi brandish his whip, his eyes still locked with Xiaoyanzi's, Li Ruoyu, though still smiling, clenched her fists tightly beneath her sleeves, thinking to herself, "(Laugh all you want, but you'll regret it later!)"
After Yongqi had tried out the whip and rested for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Yanzi took the whip and recited the whip incantation that Xiao Jian had taught her. Then, she said happily, "This whip is really good. Ruoyu, I like this gift very much. You are very thoughtful."
Li Ruoyu nodded and said, "If the Princess Consort likes it, then this whip has meaning."
"Judging from your expression, it seems that the events of the past few days have not had a significant impact on you. If there is nothing else, Ruoyu may take her leave."
After Xiao Yanzi nodded, she left with Chunzhu.
After she left, Xiao Yanzi immediately threw the whip in her hand, muttering, "Did they really think I was a fool?"
Then she glared at Yongqi and said angrily, "It's all your fault! Where did you get so many undesirable suitors? I'm always the one who suffers!"
Last time someone tried to frame him, she ended up comforting him, almost exhausting herself in the process; now, someone else wants to take his place, and she's been kidnapped and has to act out a scene again...
Yongqi knew he was in the wrong, so he followed Xiaoyanzi with a fawning smile and said, "Good Madam, it's my fault. I'll do whatever you want to punish me!"
Little Swallow raised an eyebrow at him, "Are you really going to listen to me?"
Yongqi swallowed hard and nodded firmly, "Of course! A real man keeps his word. If I say I'll listen to my wife, then I'll definitely listen to her!"
“Okay, then come with me.” Little Swallow hooked her arm around Yongqi’s collar and led him into the secret room of Yongqi’s study.
"Madam, what are we doing here?"
Although the secret room was warm, Yongqi felt a chill run down his spine. Xiaoyanzi bringing him in must not be a good thing!
Xiao Yanzi didn't answer him. Instead, she pushed him onto the bed. As soon as Yongqi sat down, Xiao Yanzi started taking off his clothes. She said slowly, "Unless I say so, you're not allowed to touch me or talk back..."
"..." Yongqi fell silent. A beautiful woman was deliberately seducing him, but he couldn't move. This was too torturous!
"If you dare to do anything rash, you won't be allowed in my bed for a month, not even to kiss me!"
"..." Yongqi was about to cry. He thought, why don't I disfigure myself? If I become ugly, will fewer people like me?
Being targeted by someone you don't like, and then being tormented by your wife—what kind of situation is this?
As Xiao Yanzi spoke, Yongqi's clothes were all removed, and he was laid down on the bed by Xiao Yanzi. However, his hands and feet were tied up, and he could not break free...
"Good madam..." Yongqi was interrupted by Xiaoyanzi before he could finish speaking.
"Don't speak!" Then, Xiao Yanzi traced her right index finger down his forehead. When she reached his abdomen, Yongqi's breathing clearly changed, and the object under his abdomen also became different from usual.
"Little Swallow..." Little Swallow kissed him. Only the two of them knew what had happened in the secret room.
They stayed in the secret room until dusk before going out. Of course, Xiao Yanzi walked out feeling refreshed, while Yongqi was helped out by Xiao Yanzi.
"Good madam, it's my turn tonight..." She had eaten her fill in the afternoon, so it should be his turn tonight.
Little Swallow couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Then it depends on whether your son and daughter agree."
If the two children start crying again at night, there's naturally nothing she can do.
(During the day, Consort Yu takes care of the children, and if all else fails, they can visit the Empress Dowager, so they don't need to worry about them. But it's a different story at night...)
