At this time, the First Princess Consort had already gathered the sisters-in-law together, and then she asked Shushu to call Hexue over.
"Sister-in-law, you were looking for me?" He Xue said as she came over.
“Let’s get together, sisters-in-law, and chat! We’ve met a few times before, so this is a good opportunity to get to know each other better!” said the First Madam.
"I'd better not disturb the ladies' chat!" He Xue said.
"You'll soon be one of us, so get used to it in advance!" the First Princess Consort teased. The First Prince had already told her about the Crown Prince and He Xue.
"Sister-in-law!" He Xue said, blushing.
"Alright, alright! Let's stop talking, or the Crown Prince will think we've bullied you! Didn't you see the Crown Prince has been watching you the whole time?" The First Princess Consort secretly pointed in the direction of the Crown Prince.
Everyone else glanced over as well, and sure enough, the Crown Prince was looking at He Xue! They all smiled at He Xue as well.
Xue and I both want to crawl into a hole and disappear.
He Xue sat down next to Tana. "Tana, how have you been lately?"
“Very good! The Eighth Prince is... alright to me! Consort Liang is also easy to get along with!” Tana said with a smile, though her smile didn’t reach her eyes.
“You’re different from before!” He Xue said.
"Isn't it more dignified than before? After all, we're married now, and I represent the Eighth Prince. I can't be the same as before!" Tana said, her head lowered.
Seeing this, He Xue didn't press the matter further. "If you encounter any problems, you can come to me. Although I may not be able to help you, I can at least give you someone to talk to!"
“Okay!” Tana replied.
At this moment, a palace maid came to He Xue and said, "Princess, the Imperial Noble Consort has something she wants to say to you alone, and she specifically sent me to find you!"
He Xue glanced in the direction of the Imperial Noble Consort, and sure enough, the Imperial Noble Consort was not there. "Who are you? I've never seen you before."
"Your Highness, I am an underling of Aunt Rendong. I was recently assigned to Chengqian Palace, so Your Highness should not have seen me before!" the maid said.
"Oh!" He Xue nodded, then said something to the Grand Consort and went out with the little palace maid.
He Zhu also hurriedly came to the Crown Prince's side and whispered a few words to him.
Upon hearing this, the crown prince's expression changed drastically, and he stood up. Everyone around him looked at the crown prince.
"Second Brother, what's wrong?" the Fourth Prince asked.
"It's nothing, I probably just drank too much. You all continue, I'm going out to sober up!" The Crown Prince said and immediately left.
After leaving the Hall of Preserving Harmony, the Crown Prince ordered, "Send someone to find He Xue immediately! Why didn't you say so sooner?"
"This servant has already sent people to look for the princess! But we don't know her exact location, so it's quite troublesome to find her!"
"The Ninth Princess doesn't trust anyone at all, and I overheard that in secret!" He Zhu explained.
"I don't want to hear any explanations. It's best if Xue is alright, otherwise, everyone will die!" At this moment, the Crown Prince was like a demon of death, his whole body filled with murderous intent.
He Zhu cursed the Ninth Princess a hundred times in his heart. If you want to die, don't drag others down with you! This Ninth Princess has really eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, daring to scheme against Princess Xue. I'm afraid the Crown Prince will not let her off easily.
He Xue followed the little palace maid all the way, but they were getting further and further astray.
He Xue sensed something was wrong. "Where are we going?"
The young palace maid calmly replied, "Your Highness, we'll be there soon! The Imperial Noble Consort has just sobered up and may have gone a bit too far!"
“Alright! Keep leading the way!” He Xue said.
