The morning sunlight streamed through the window, waking the sleeping earth.
It also awakened those who were asleep, and birds sang merrily on the branches, thus beginning a new day.
"Princess, don't sleep tonight! We have to go back to the Prime Minister's residence soon." Bizhu called out to Li Baobei in a panic by the bedside.
Li Baobei shook her groggy head and mumbled, "I know, Bizhu, I'll get up right away."
She propped herself up and slowly sat up, her vision of Bizhu standing by the bed blurry.
She rubbed her eyes and looked again, but everything was still blurry. "What's wrong? Am I nearsighted? No way!"
Li Baobei was startled.
She quickly called out, "Bizhu~ come a little closer."
"Miss, what's wrong?" Bizhu came over and immediately took her arm.
Li Baobei blinked quickly and continued looking at Bizhu, her vision gradually becoming clearer.
"It's finally here," she sighed helplessly.
"Pah, pah, pah! Princess, you mustn't sigh on the first day of the Lunar New Year!" Bizhu's face showed a slight panic.
She said calmly, "Yes, I understand, Bizhu. Help me up!"
She feels extremely uncomfortable all over her body right now. This feeling has been coming on frequently lately, but it gradually disappears after she regains consciousness.
What's meant to come will come; cherishing the present moment is the most important thing.
She specially chose a golden yellow dress today, which made her look radiant.
At this moment, she was like a piece of exquisite porcelain, with fair and translucent skin, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth. Every detail was as if it had been meticulously crafted, as if it were a masterpiece carefully created by nature.
Before long, they left the mansion and rode in a magnificent sedan chair toward the Prime Minister's residence.
Passersby couldn't help but praise the grandeur of the sedan chair, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of person was sitting inside.
"Greetings, Princess!"
The people of the Prime Minister's residence knelt on the ground in a noisy commotion. Li Baobei quickly got out of the carriage and helped her mother and father up.
"Father, Mother, Nannan has missed you so much." She gently leaned into her mother's arms.
"My dear Nannan, it's good to see you back. Come on in!"
A large group of people followed them into the Prime Minister's residence.
Suddenly, a pair of lewd eyes appeared in the crowd, staring intently at Li Baobei's disappearing figure.
Xia Garden.
"Aunt, Aunt, I really have fallen for Li Nannan, please help me."
Zhang Maowen knelt before Aunt Zhang and pleaded bitterly.
Li Zixuan stared at Zhang Maowen in shock and said, "Cousin, are you crazy? Li Nannan is a princess now, how dare you even dream of her?"
A lewd smile spread across Zhang Maowen's greasy face as he confidently retorted, "How am I unworthy of you, your cousin? If I were to become the princess's consort, wouldn't you all rise to prominence? Wouldn't you be showered with benefits then?"
Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes and considered it carefully.
Zhang Maowen continued to plead with a pained expression: "Aunt, please, as long as you help me get Li Nannan, she'll have no choice but to marry him. Isn't that a win-win situation? Women value their reputation. Once the deed is done..."
Aunt Zhang quickly covered Zhang Maowen's mouth with her hand, then sneakily went out to peek inside. Finding no one there, she quietly closed the door and came back in.
He gave Zhang Maowen a look of disappointment and exasperation, saying, "You reckless idiot, if anyone heard this, I don't think you'd have enough lives to go around."
Zhang Maowen noticed that Aunt Zhang's tone had weakened a bit, and sensing there was hope, he quickly continued, "Will you help me, Aunt?"
Aunt Zhang sat expressionlessly in her chair. "Don't panic. Li Nannan should be at the manor these next few days. Let me think it over. You may leave now!"
Zhang Maowen smiled and said excitedly, "Then nephew will be waiting for good news from his aunt."
After saying that, he quickly walked out in a few steps.
"Auntie, are you crazy? How could you agree to my cousin's request?"
Li Zixuan looked at Aunt Zhang in horror. At this moment, she felt as if she did not recognize the mother in front of her.
Aunt Zhang gracefully picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, a subtle smile playing on her lips.
"Zixuan! You are still too kind. No wonder you can't even beat Li Nannan."
Aunt Zhang looked at her daughter with disdain, thinking to herself, "If Hui'er were still here, how wonderful it would be. Why would I need to rely on a daughter? Women are ultimately inferior to men."
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but sigh.
She then looked at Li Zixuan with disgust, "If you could be more ambitious and be with the Crown Prince, why would I need to climb up to your cousin, that good-for-nothing?"
If Li Nannan marries Zhang Maowen, then I can say that I have avenged my Hui'er. Doesn't Wang Dong love his daughter very much?
Hahaha! I want her daughter, Li Nannan, that high and mighty Princess Chang Le, to marry a good-for-nothing and become the biggest joke in the capital, hahaha~”
Aunt Zhang's smile gradually turned into madness, a sight that shocked Li Zixuan.
She called softly, "Auntie~ Hui'er fell into the pool by herself, not the First Madam~"
"What did you say?" Aunt Zhang rushed over like a demon, grabbing Li Zixuan's neck tightly, her eyes filled with ferocity.
She continued to roar hoarsely, "If it weren't for that bitch, why would my Hui'er go to the pond? And why would she stand by the pond and watch? Tell me why."
Why are you siding with her too? What use are you to me? You traitorous wretch!
