"I didn't expect Princess Ning to be so aggressive." A lady who had a good relationship with the Guo family and disliked Chen Xun secretly complained behind her back.
"Yes, she is indeed a wild girl who grew up in the countryside, but she is as unforgiving as a shrew." Another lady also complained.
"How does Prince Ning tolerate such a person? He is too vulgar and rude. How can such a woman bear the status of Princess Ning?"
"That is, how can such a vulgar woman be able to assume the role of Princess Ning?"
"So what if she's vulgar? Who asked Qin Tianjian to calculate that she and Prince Ning are compatible? She made Prince Ning get better as soon as she entered the palace. How could the royal family divorce her?"
"No matter how vulgar she is, as long as she has not committed a heinous crime, it is impossible for the royal family to divorce her."
People who had a good relationship with the Guo family, or were simply hostile to Prince Ning, or simply disliked Chen Yu, secretly discussed this matter behind their backs.

"Princess Ning is indeed a vulgar shrew." Yan Xia couldn't help but say after hearing what happened just now. She really disliked Chen Yu.
"Is Sister Yun Man more suitable for Prince Ning? How can Chen be worthy of a husband like His Highness Prince Ning?"
"Xia'er." After listening to her daughter's words, Concubine Lin looked back at her and said, "You must know that trouble comes from your mouth, so be careful with your words and actions."
"If you offend His Highness Prince Ning, neither mother nor your father will be able to protect you." Concubine Lin said. The most important thing was that she didn't want her daughter to harm her son.
The most important thing for Concubine Lin is her son. What she hopes most is that her son can replace Yan Hui as the heir apparent of Prince Rong's Palace and inherit the Palace of Prince Rong in the future.
even……
Concubine Lin thought of her prince and couldn't help but wish for more.
"Mother~" Yan Xia pouted and said coquettishly when he saw his mother-in-law scolding him, "My daughter just can't stand Princess Ning."
"She has gone from a vulgar country girl to Princess Ning, putting pressure on her daughter. How can her daughter swallow this?" Yan Xia said unhappily.
"Princess Ning is the daughter of the Hou family." Concubine Lin said, "There are also princesses with lower status than her. Why don't you talk about them?"
"Prince Ning's holy love is strong now, and Princess Ning is also benefiting from it. If you anger Princess Ning, mother will not be able to protect you." Concubine Lin said.
"Mother knows that you have a good relationship with Prince Jin's side concubine, but she is different from the mother-in-law. If you anger Princess Ning because of her, she can't protect you."
Concubine Lin was very proud that even though she was a concubine, she was still King Rong's true love and could compete with the main concubine.
She, the concubine, had taken away half of the housekeeper's power when the principal concubine was still there, and she was very proud of having been favored by the prince for so long.
It can be said that no one can be like her and have half of the housekeeping rights as a side concubine while the main concubine is still there.
Although the concubine of King Jin was also a concubine, Concubine Lin felt that she was not as good as her.
After all, anyone with eyes and brains would know that it was impossible for the King of Jin to neglect his princess, and it was impossible for him to favor his concubine more than his main concubine.
That is to say, Prince Rong was the late emperor's most beloved son, and he had always been unscrupulous, so it was not surprising at all that he favored his concubines and destroyed his wife.
As for the emperor's reprimand, Prince Rong didn't take it seriously at all.
Prince Rong was very dissatisfied with Emperor Yun Zhao and resented his brother for stealing the throne that belonged to him. Therefore, Emperor Yun Zhao's reprimands went in one ear and went out the other, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
What happened to doting on his concubine and destroying his wife? His true love as King Rong is Concubine Lin. He doesn’t love his own princess, so what happened to his doting on his true love?
Even when being reprimanded by Emperor Yun Zhao, Prince Rong would involve Concubine Zhou in the harem.
You must know that when Empress Yuan was still there, Emperor Yun Zhao doted on Concubine Zhou. Now that Empress Mu has become the queen, Emperor Yun Zhao still dotes on Concubine Zhou.
Therefore, even though he doted on his concubines and concubines, was Emperor Yun Zhao any more noble than he, the honored king?
Didn't Emperor Yun Zhao spoil his concubines and destroy his wives?
Emperor Yun Zhao: When I doted on my concubine, I didn’t destroy the authority of the main wife, okay? Don’t confuse me with you, a bastard.

Chen Xun didn't want to stay any longer, so she approached Yan Lizhou and asked him if he wanted to leave first.
Yan Lizhou didn't like this kind of banquet very much, especially when he saw Yan Pan trying to get everything he wanted.
He really didn't take the crown prince Yan Hui seriously at all. Yan Lizhou didn't like Yan Pan's behavior.
But so what?
Who told him that Yan Lizhou was also a concubine?
"Let's go, go back first." Yan Lizhou held his princess's hand and said.
We'll do the sacking thing for Yan Pan later.
Chen Yun nodded with a smile, and the couple said goodbye to Yan Hui and Wang Xiuwan before leaving.
Since the curfew was lifted for three days, there were still stalls selling food on the streets, and Chen Yun and his wife planned to take a stroll.
There are not as many lantern festivals on the Dragon Boat Festival as there are on the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the streets are still full of lanterns at night, and Chen Xun feels beautiful just looking at them.
The prosperous Chang'an was indeed a beautiful sight.
Dayong during the Yunzhao period really looked like the prosperous Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.
“Wontons, delicious little wontons~”
When Chen Xun and Yan Lizhou were shopping, they heard the shouts of the stall owners on the street. She sniffed and smelled a refreshing fragrance.
"Little wontons?" Chen Xun was a little greedy. She didn't eat much at Prince Rong's Mansion just now, and now she was really hungry.
Princess Ning, the big-stomach king, has a huge appetite. She is probably only three to four percent full now, and she still wants to eat more.
"Your Majesty, do you want a bowl?" Chen Xun took Yan Lizhou to the small wonton stall and asked him first.
"Have a bowl." Yan Lizhou nodded. He actually wasn't full at Prince Rong's Mansion just now, so he can have another bowl of wontons now.
"Here are two bowls of small wontons, add seaweed and dried shrimps." Chen Xun said after pulling Yan Lizhou to sit down.
Adding seaweed and dried shrimps means that you can add more to the original portion of dried shrimps and dried shrimps. She wants a fresher wonton soup.
"Okay, sir, wait a moment."
The stall owner acted very quickly. The soup used to cook wontons was always warm in the pot. After the customers arrived, he quickly added fire to the boil and put the wontons in to cook.
When the wontons were being cooked, the stall owner took out two bowls and filled them with shrimps, seaweed and other side dishes, then scooped the soup from the pot and poured it into the bowls.
The wonton soup is ready. When the wontons are cooked, take them out and put them into a bowl. Two bowls of small wontons are ready.
"Please be patient, sir." The stall owner came over with two bowls of wontons and put them on the table, then quickly left.
The stall owner could see very clearly that the clothes these two were wearing were not simple. Although he couldn't tell what grade they were in, they were definitely rich or noble, and they were of high status.
The stall owner was frightened and surprised at the same time. He didn't expect that these noble people would also like to eat wontons at his stall. It was really unexpected.
Chen Xun looked at the wontons in front of her, blew on them, took a bite, and nodded with satisfaction.
The wontons are really delicious, with very thin skin and very filling fillings. They have a bit of a chewy texture. Although they are not unparalleled in taste, Chen Xin likes them very much.
"It tastes really good. This little wonton tastes great." Chen Xun said with satisfaction.
Yan Lizhou also nodded, obviously he also thought the little wontons tasted good.
And even though it was dark now, there were many lanterns on the streets, and the martial arts practitioners had very strong night vision, so he could see that the stalls were very clean.
The stalls are very hygienic and very clean. The stall owner is also a tidy person. It can be said that the safety and hygiene are very good.
It's safe and hygienic, and the wontons taste good. Yan Lizhou has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
