"Princess!" The nanny serving nearby rushed forward to pat Princess Anxing's chest to calm her down. "Princess, the imperial physician said you mustn't get angry, or you'll worry about the baby in your womb."
Princess Anxing took a deep breath to calm herself down, and her abdominal pain subsided. She angrily shouted, "What is she, a princess of the Great Chu? How dare she give me attitude! Guards, prepare the bridge! I am going to the palace to request an imperial decree for the Empress Dowager to punish her!"
"Wait, Princess, let me go and invite her."
Yan Gang, who had been playing the zither to calm the princess, stood up and bowed to Princess Anxing, saying, "Princess, the other party is, after all, a princess of the Great Chu. It would be bad if things got too tense. I will definitely invite Princess Chang Le to come on your behalf."
Upon hearing this, Princess Anxing's anger vanished, replaced by tenderness. "Then I'll have to trouble you, my lord."
"It's what I should do." After saying that, Yan Gang walked out of the house.
The old woman came over again to cover Princess Anxing with a light blanket, then massaged her shoulders, and said with a smile, "The prince consort is so good to the princess."
An Xing's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Does he dare not treat me well? He's just a poor scholar from Tangzhou. Without me, would he be where he is today?"
"That's right, the prince consort is fortunate to marry a princess, it's a blessing he earned in his past lives," the nanny flattered. "The prince consort will definitely invite the princess over."
Upon hearing this, Princess Anxing's smile vanished, replaced by a fierce expression. "Once she marries into the First Prince's household, I will have my eldest brother teach her a lesson, hiss~"
Princess Anxing felt her abdomen start to hurt again, and a surge of heat rushed out, making her face turn pale with pain.

Granny Xie didn't expect Su Ruojin to be even more ruthless than she thought, completely disregarding whether she knelt or not.
After she knelt down, not only did Su Ruojin not react at all, but even the servants of the Zhao family who passed by acted as if they didn't see her, and no one paid any attention to her.
Granny Xie had only been kneeling for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea when her knees began to ache terribly, yet she couldn't stand up.
Kneeling behind her, Granny Xie's whole body began to tremble. She couldn't bear the pain any longer and, disregarding all pride, gestured to the maid standing to the side to help her up.
Just as the maid was helping her up, Su Ruojin's door opened, and as soon as Xie Mama saw her, she immediately knelt down again, hiding the resentment in her eyes, her voice trembling with tears, and she pretended to be pitiful.
“Princess, please consider my advanced age and come with me. If something happens to me, it will damage your reputation.”
It was Yanluo who came out. When Yanluo saw Xie Mama's appearance, she sneered, "Xie Mama, my princess didn't make you kneel. You knelt down on your own. How come you're blaming the princess now?"
The princess said, "Granny, you can kneel for as long as you like; it's none of our business. If you can't kneel any longer, you can get up. Just don't make up stories about things you can't do in the future."
After saying that, she turned and left to bring the young lady a bowl of lotus seed soup.
Granny Xie was so overwhelmed by Yan Luo's words that she could hardly breathe and felt a buzzing pain in her head.
She had a chance to stand up and not kneel before, but now that Yanluo has blocked her way, if she dares not kneel, she will become a person who breaks their word.
Granny Xie is representing the Princess's residence. If she is accused of being untrustworthy, it will damage the reputation of the Princess's residence.
If the princess finds out, she will definitely be punished, and the punishment will be much more severe than kneeling.
Thinking of this, Granny Xie had no choice but to continue kneeling, not daring to get up, until she finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
When Yan Gang arrived at the Zhao residence, Xie Mama had already been carried to a side room by the Zhao family's servants.
Yan Gang explained his purpose, but since he was an outsider, it was inconvenient for him to go directly to Su Ruojin's courtyard.
Given his status as a prince consort, he was different from Granny Xie, and Zhao Guangtao personally came out to greet him.
"Greetings, Your Highness," Zhao Guangtao said, bowing.
Yan Gang hurriedly returned the greeting, "Master Zhao, you are too rude. I have come here to invite the princess to come to my residence to examine the princess."
Zhao Guangtao knew about Xie Mama's matter, but he didn't want to get involved, so he stayed in the backyard and didn't come out.
Now that the prince consort was being so polite, Zhao Guangtao had no choice but to send someone to inform Su Ruojin.
When Su Ruojin heard that Yan Gang had arrived, her eyes flickered slightly. The princess was suffering from abdominal pain, and the prince consort had actually come to invite her in person.
