Upon hearing this, Qin Wencheng said with a sneer, “She just returned to the capital. What's the use of being so ostentatious? If she was so capable, she wouldn't have been stranded outside for so long. I wonder why the Crown Prince and Father are so nervous.”

The attendant said carefully, “But, Young Master, the duke asked you to think of a way to matchmake the Eldest Princess and the Second Young Master.”

“Alright, alright, I know what to do,” Qin Wencheng said unhappily. Everyone in Duke Qin's Residence only thought about his second brother when he was the eldest son.

At this moment, a voice rang from behind.

“Brother, why did you enter the palace so quickly? You're Sister Qu Yu's fiance. Why didn't you pick her up?” Qin Qixuan said.

Qin Wencheng turned around and looked at Qin Qixuan who followed him here before he said with a fake smile, “Oh, it's Second Brother.”

Qin Qixuan did not seem to notice Qin Wencheng's disgust. He smiled and said,

“I met General Qu and Sister Qu at the entrance of the palace earlier. I believe they'll be here soon.”

As soon as Qin Qixuan's voice fell, the Qu family arrived in a palanquin.

Behind them were the palanquins from the two Jiang families, the Ma family, and the Yu family.

As soon as Yu Xiaoxiao got off the palanquin, she ran toward Qin Wencheng as though no one else was around. “Brother Wencheng!”

Qu Yu was standing nearby.

The people in the surroundings naturally knew about the engagement between the Qu family and the Qin family. Their expressions turned subtle when they watched this scene.

At this moment, Qin Hongde cleared his throat loudly and looked at Qin Wencheng disapprovingly.

Qin Wencheng's expression stiffened before he quickly forced a smile on his face. Then, he reluctantly walked toward Qu Yu and Qu Jing, General Qu.

“Uncle Qu, I…”

Before Qin Wencheng could speak, Qu Jing snorted and walked into the hall with Qu Yu. He did not want such a son-in-law.

Meanwhile, seeing that the atmosphere between the Qu family and the Qin family was not quite right, Yu Feng hurriedly called out, “Xiaoxiao, come here!”

After all, Yu Feng was the future side consort of the Crown Prince, she could not ruin her reputation.

Jiang Hongfang walked over to Qin Wencheng's side and patted the latter's shoulder comfortingly as he said, “Wencheng, don't take it to heart. That Qu Yu is too arrogant. In any case, we've known Xiaoxiao for so many years and only knew Qu Yu later. I don't understand why she's angry. She's too narrow-minded.”

Ma Wanyang scoffed and chimed in, “That's right. She only knows how to fight and kill. She's not virtuous at all. If it weren't because she's engaged to you, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to get married for the rest of her life.”

Qin Wencheng turned to Ma Wanyang and asked, “How's your injury?”

Ma Wanyang's expression turned unsightly as soon as he heard these words. He said through gritted teeth, “It still hurts now. If I find that b*tch, I won't let her go.”

Qin Wencheng's expression was cold as well. He remembered how Yu Yunxi had toyed with him in Fuman Restaurant. It was simply a humiliation to him.

At this time, Jiang Hongfang looked around and asked, “I heard the Eldest

Princess is here. Where's she?”

However, Yu Yunxi had already entered the hall with Chu Jing so they could not see her.

From the beginning to the end, Qin Wencheng did not see Yu Yunxi at all.

In the hall.

Chu Jing walked next to Yu Yunxi and whispered, “Cousin, don't worry. Father and Mother asked me to protect you. You'll be fine.”

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and asked meaningfully, “Oh? So you mean that something will happen tonight?”

Chu Jing quickly shook his head and explained anxiously, “No, no, no, that's not what I meant. My mother just told me to be careful.”

However, the more Chu Jing explained, the more chaotic it became.

Yu Yunxi could not help but laugh. She found her cousin quite interesting. Finally, she said, “Alright. I understand what you mean. Don't be anxious.” At this moment, two women appeared in front of them.

When Chu Jing saw the two women, his smile vanished immediately. He looked wary as he bowed at them slightly and greeted them. “Third Cousin, Sixth Cousin.”

According to the way Chu Jing addressed the duo, Yu Yunxi knew the two women must be the Third Princess, Chu Zhiya; and the Sixth Princess, Chu Zhihe. Chu Zhiya was the daughter of the Empress, and Chu Zhihe was the daughter of the most favored consort, Consort Mu.

Speaking of which, the imperial family tree was truly a mess.

Not counting Yu Yunxi; the forcefully planted Eldest Princess, the Emperor had thirteen children.

The First Prince was killed shortly after he was born. The murderer remained a mystery to this day. His mother was Consort Wen. It was said that she had gone crazy after the death of her son and had stayed in the Cold Palace since then.

The Second Prince was the Crown Prince. His mother was the Empress, just like the Third Princess.

The Fourth Prince's mother was Consort Hong. Consort Hong was from the Hong family, one of the four great families of Xichu.

The Fifth Prince's mother was Consort Yang.

The Seventh Prince and the Sixth Princess were twins born to Consort Mu.

In addition, there was also the Eighth Princess, the Ninth Princess, the Tenth Prince, the Eleventh Princess, the Twelfth Prince, and the Thirteenth Princess.

However, after the Seventh Prince, the other princes were either not strong enough or too young so they did not have much of a presence in the imperial palace and the imperial court. Hence, there were only four princes who were fighting for the throne: Chu Yuefu; the Crown Prince, Chu Yuezheng; the

Fourth Prince, Chu Yueqi; the Fifth Prince, and Chu Yuemu; the Seventh Prince.

Chu Zhiya, the Third Princess, stepped forward. She took the initiative to hold Yu Yunxi's hand and said affectionately, “Cousin, you've suffered outside for so many years.”

Chu Zhiya pretended to be angry and said reproachfully, “Sixth Imperial Sister, how can you say that?”

However, Chu Zhihe did not respond and left to look for her seat.

Chu Zhiya sighed softly and said to Yu Yunxi guiltily, “I'm sorry, Cousin. Sixth Imperial Sister has always been spoiled by Imperial Father and Consort Mu so…”

“Don't worry. I didn't take it to heart,” Yu Yunxi said with a smile as she held Chu Zhiya's hand.

Seeing Yu Yunxi's natural and unrestrained smile, Chu Zhiya's expression stiffened slightly. However, she adjusted her expression quickly and continued to say, “Cousin, this is your first time in the palace, if there's anything you're not used to, please feel free to tell me.”

“Thank you,” Yu Yunxi said with a nod. After Chu Zhiya turned around and left, the smile on her face faded.

Chu Zhihe, the daughter of a consort, was already so arrogant. How could Chu Zhiya not have a temper?

At this moment, Chu Jing said awkwardly, “Cousin Yunxi, try to keep a distance from Third Cousin.”

Yu Yunxi turned to look at Chu Jing and asked, “Why?”
