The carriage gradually drove through the bustling streets and headed towards the palace gate.
At the palace gate, the guards stopped the carriage.
Who is it?
The wet nurse took out a token from his pocket: "It is the Sixth Princess returning to the capital."
"Greetings, Sixth Princess." The guards knelt on one knee.
Wei Wangqing couldn't help but sigh, "Ha, this is the power of authority. It's truly captivating. But compared to working myself to the bone, I still prefer a carefree life."
"Get up."
"Yes. Thank you, Your Highness. You may pass." The guard waved his hand.
Wei Wangqing and his wet nurse walked towards the Wuji Palace.
Before they even turned the corner, they could faintly hear angry shouts coming from ahead: "You can't even handle this simple matter, what use are you to me?"
"Your Highness, please spare me! I simply couldn't find an opportunity!"
"Still trying to argue? Take him away, I don't want to see him again."
Turning around, I saw Wei Wangqing; there was no way to avoid it now.
"This is... the Sixth Imperial Sister?" the person opposite asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It is I, Fifth Prince." There are only two princes in the palace: the Fifth Prince Wei Wuyan and the Seventh Prince Wei Xiaoqing, who is only eleven years old. Judging from the appearance, it is undoubtedly the Fifth Prince.
"Oh, Sixth Princess, you're back in the capital! I thought you'd be living in that villa forever!"
This strange behavior... is it because I stumbled upon it and he's unhappy, or is he taking it out on me? My mind raced, but my face remained expressionless. "The Empress has given the order; how dare I disobey?"
The Fifth Prince choked, "Then Sixth Princess is going to the palace to pay her respects to the Empress, right? Then I won't disturb you any longer."
"Fine." You little brat, still being sarcastic with me. While I was scheming and backstabbing in the workplace, you were still breastfeeding. Humph!
After Wei Wangqing left, the Fifth Prince stomped his foot in anger, "Hmph! I don't know why Mother Empress called her back. I'm afraid she'll bring me bad luck if she's even close to me. What a jinx!"
The person behind the Fifth Prince hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please be careful what you say."
"What's there to be afraid of? She's just a fallen princess without a father's family; what can she do to me?" The Fifth Prince turned and left. "What bad luck!"
Phoenix Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Princess has entered the palace and even met with the Fifth Prince. Should we have someone give her a warning?"
The man possessed an innate elegance; even when pruning flowers, he exuded boundless charm, every movement brimming with allure. "No need," he said, "a mere sixth princess won't cause any trouble. It's the fifth princess, on the other hand, who I've spoiled a bit."
The prince's attendant quickly said, "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. The Fifth Prince is the son of His Majesty and Your Majesty, and he has the Crown Princess as his elder sister. What harm is there in him being a little spoiled? Who would dare to object? Moreover, as a boy, such innocence and naivety are more endearing."
Upon hearing this, the Queen's face lit up a little. "You certainly know how to talk," she said.
"How dare I? I was merely stating the facts. Please forgive my presumptuous words, Your Majesty," the prince said humbly.
The man casually picked up a hairpin and handed it over, saying, "Here, this is a gift for you. You may leave."
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave now."
At this moment, the man in the hall narrowed his eyes, "The Sixth Princess, is it?"
