Su Wenyuan wasn't this angry before, but after seeing the Emperor's favoritism and the Crown Prince's desire to do something immoral without wanting to bear the infamy, she started to get angry.
"You'll see more in the future, don't be angry." Sheng Jingyu didn't know how to comfort anyone.
Sheng Jingyu still had to deal with the follow-up matters. Su Lin'er was so angry after hearing that Lu Wanying had entered the Crown Prince's residence that she scolded Su Wenyuan all night.
She's useless; she ruined a perfectly good plan.
There's a lot of talk about this. Because of Lu Guanfeng's embezzlement, Lu Wanying already had a bad reputation. Now that this has happened again, her image is even worse, and all sorts of nasty things are being said about her.
After Sheng Yuanhe took her back, he simply instructed people to take good care of her and invited a doctor, but he did not visit her.
Lu Wanying finally entered the Crown Prince's residence, but she couldn't be happy.
They had no official status, were kept in the shadows, and the Lu family was gone.
"Has His Highness the Crown Prince not returned yet?" Lu Wanying had asked this many times.
A maidservant said coldly, "Your Highness is busy. If Miss Lu has anything to say, we can pass it on. If not, please rest well."
Many people in the mansion are Consort Wan's people, and they had already received the news and were wary of this woman.
The servants were rude, but Lu Wanying didn't say anything. She just secretly remembered it and vowed to get her revenge on them sooner or later.
Two days later, Princess Heyi arrived in the capital in a grand ceremony.
Sheng Yuanhe had been busy for many days for this day, and Lu Wanying was almost forgotten by him.
Su Wenyuan came out early and asked for a private room in the best-located restaurant in the capital.
Looking down from above, the procession stretched as far as the eye could see, and even Princess Heyi's carriage was nowhere to be seen.
"This princess is amazing. She actually managed to return after the marriage alliance, and with such a grand entrance." Su Wenyuan praised.
Throughout history, princesses sent to marry foreign rulers for political reasons have always met tragic ends. To achieve such glory, they must have accomplished something significant.
Hua Ling said sarcastically, "You're even praising her now. If she's really that powerful, you should be finding a place to hide. You've been targeting the Crown Prince and Consort Wan lately, and now that another backer of theirs has returned, you're doomed."
"I'm not just targeting them. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll target you too!" Su Wenyuan glared at him.
The two of them have been arguing more and more lately, and I don't know where the grudge came from.
Su Wenyuan waited for a long time before she saw Princess Heyi's carriage. There was a person sitting on a horse in front of the carriage, swaying from side to side as if he had lice on his body.
She was round and chubby, with her features squeezed together so much that her eyes were almost invisible. Her legs were so short that she could barely reach the stirrups, so she probably wasn't very tall.
"Is that Princess Heyi's husband?"
Yuexiu nodded and said, "Yes, when he came to Anchuan Kingdom, many people felt sorry for Princess Heyi."
Su Wenyuan clicked her tongue inwardly. It seemed that Princess Heyi really hated her to the core.
The carriage continued forward, and the streets were full of onlookers. Su Wenyuan walked around a few times and heard a lot of gossip.
This prince consort is the son of an old prince of Qikong Kingdom.
Qikong Kingdom once experienced the fall of its kingdom, and it was after that fall that Anchuan Kingdom came into being.
At that time, Anchuan and Buchuan were two cities of Qikong Kingdom. Qikong Kingdom had two tyrannical rulers in succession, and the people suffered greatly. People in various places rose up in rebellion.
Among them, two rebel generals who came from Ancheon and Bucheon stand out.
The two attacked from two different directions all the way to the imperial city.
Before the siege, they discussed who should be emperor. Neither of them would give in. After a long period of fighting and negotiation, they fought again and tried to negotiate, but they could not reach an agreement.
The final conclusion was that the country would be divided into two nations, maintaining friendly relations for generations to come.
Those two generals were the founding emperors of their respective countries, but that was a long time ago.
The two countries had lived in peace for many years, generation after generation, but almost forty years ago, some people, under the banner of restoring the Qikong Kingdom, stirred up trouble in various places.
Thirty years ago, this army began attacking Bucheon. Bucheon appealed to Ancheon for help, but Ancheon's reinforcements never arrived, and Bucheon was destroyed.
This led to the successful restoration of the Qikong Kingdom, and this old prince was a meritorious official who helped restore the kingdom.
They called it restoring the country, but it was actually a rebellion under the guise of restoring the country. Those who followed the restoration were blacksmiths, beggars, shopkeepers, farmers...
They have all sorts of jobs, and their lifestyle is different from that of the normal royal family.
Princess Heyi married the Crown Prince, but the old prince and princess in the mansion were vulgar and looked down on her.
They always tormented Princess Heyi in the way that old-fashioned rural families used to torment their daughters-in-law. When things got really bad, they would even sit at the door and throw a tantrum, cursing and swearing...
Princess Heyi's current dignity is a gift from the Emperor of Qikong Kingdom, a kind of compensation. He knows that the old prince and princess are outrageous, but he can't do anything about it.
The heroes who helped restore the country were either dead or gone, but these two, who were outrageous, lived very long lives. There was no other way but to keep them as statues.
Su Wenyuan was listening with great interest when Meng Qi ran over to tell her that the Emperor had summoned her unexpectedly and asked her to hurry up and enter the palace.
"Isn't this none of my business?" Su Wenyuan quickly got up and left.
Today, Princess Heyi returned to the palace. The Emperor ordered all the princes and princesses to wait in the palace as a way of welcoming the princess.
After all, she was going to Anchuan for a political marriage, so we should at least show her some respect.
However, Su Wenyuan was not allowed to enter the palace, and Su Wenyuan did not want to go either, fearing that it would cause a commotion.
Meng Qi replied, "It was Consort Wan who requested it, saying that Princess Heyi wanted to see the Princess."
"Nonsense, what do I have to see? You're not going to cause me trouble on your very first day back in the capital, are you? You're really in a hurry." Su Wenyuan hurried along, trying to buy herself time to get dressed.
Meng Qi said, "There's no need to rush. After the princess enters the palace, she will first pay her respects to the Emperor and Empress, then have a chat with Consort Wan, and finally meet with the princes."
Su Wenyuan removed her hairpin and said, "Princess Heyi has been away from the capital for many years for the sake of peace between the two countries. We cannot be negligent in our etiquette at this time. Even if I received the news at the last minute, it cannot be too late, lest it give people something to talk about."
If you are late, someone will make a big deal out of it.
Su Wenyuan is not a troublemaker. Everyone wants to live a peaceful life, but she cannot tolerate those who insist on causing trouble.
She went through a lot of trouble before finally making it in time.
Princess Heyi and Consort Wan had so much to talk about that they hadn't even met the princes and princesses yet; they were all waiting in the side hall.
Su Wenyuan had just caught a glimpse of the side hall and hadn't even gotten close when she saw a chubby figure enter first. His physique was too obvious; it was Princess He Yi's consort, the Prince Jin of Qikong Kingdom.
After entering, Prince Jin first squinted and looked around.
Then, fixing his gaze on Sheng Jingyu, he asked, "Is this the blind Prince Chen?"
