Huifeng was perfectly aware that His Highness the Crown Prince was burning with urgency at this moment, so he dared not delay any further, leaving through the window to notify the hidden guards to assemble.

  Soon, the king, who was currently in Zhaoyi He’s bedchamber, accompanying the beauty to draw as he held her luminous wrist with a smile, received the latest news.

  His Highness the Crown Prince had dispatched 3000 hidden guards to head to the Mystic Beast Forest with him, tossing all the matters that he had not yet dealt with to him!

  He really abandoned his dad after getting a wife. Every time a matter had to do with his wife, he could even forsake his dad for it!

  —-My Lian’s section break—-

  The entrance to Anya Pavilion.

  The overjoyed Xu’er quickly kept up with her miss’s pace. When she passed by the marchioness and her daughter-in-law, who were sweating heavily as they continued to maintain their curtsy, she even provoked them by pursing her mouth and rolling her eyes at them.

  From beginning to end, the queen dowager didn’t allow the marchioness and her daughter-in-law to straighten their bodies. Even up to when she disappeared from Anya Pavilion’s entrance with Commandery Princess Yi’an, she left them hanging, not even sparing them a glance.

  The group of junior royal maids all covered their mouths as they peeked furtively at the marchioness and her daughter-in-law like they were an amusing show before scattering.

  It wasn’t until after a quarter of an hour had passed that the sweating marchioness dared to straighten her waist. However, this caused her to yelp in pain as she beat the back of her strained waist. After exchanging glances with her daughter-in-law, whose heart was still fluttering in fear, they supported each other and left with long faces.

  Having accompanied the former king to fight for state power all those years ago, the queen dowager was able to match men in ability and bravery. Her temper was naturally forthright, hence she very much disdained the pretentious marchioness and her daughter-in-law.

  “You child, We have told you so many times already. Don’t see those unnecessary people if you don’t want to see them.” The queen dowager sighed as she turned to gaze at Yi’an beside her.

  Commandery Princess Yi’an’s eyes reddened as she explained in a soft voice, “Yi’an was thinking that since they were family after all, it was not good to go too far for appearances’ sake.”


  “Ay, you are just kindhearted!” The queen dowager shook her head before saying with a smile, “You should find an opportunity to go see your youngest sister-in-law and learn from her. Then, your temper won’t be so soft that other people can pressure you with it.”


  “Youngest sister-in-law?” Commandery Princess Yi’an was stunned.

  “That’s right! That youngest granddaughter-in-law that We have yet to meet.” The queen dowager declared with a smile, “These past few days, We have been calling Gong Chang’an over every day to tell me stories, hahaha!”


  Upon mentioning the young crown prince consort, the queen dowager’s face was wreathed in smiles. “You don’t know how amazing she is! Hehe, I just like her methods all too much.”


  “Did you know? The king’s Consort Zheng, she’s quite a figure to be reckoned with, right! Yet in the end, she was like a rat avoiding the cat in front of my youngest daughter-in-law! Also, also, she immediately retaliated against that old woman from the Shu Family when she tried to bully her. Even until now, that old biddy is still learning discipline at home, hahahahaha!”


  When she got to the good part, the queen dowager burst out laughing.

  Her personal nanny that was trailing behind her involuntarily twitched her mouth. She trotted up to the queen dowager and reminded gently, “Your Majesty, you have already mentioned this three times today.”


  “Is that so?” The queen dowager laughed out loud before turning to say to the faintly smiling Yi’an, “Unfortunately, this little fellow hasn’t returned from the Mystic Beast Forest yet, otherwise I really want to meet her.”


  Not knowing how to continue the conversation, Commandery Princess Yi’an could only maintain a faint smile.

  “Yi’an, you are already 17 this year, correct. The youngest son from the Count of Jian’an’s Estate is older than you by two years.”
