I am the champion of palace intrigue, and even the proud prince bows his head in submission.

Chapter 195 made my ears turn red.

"Thank you, my husband." Qin Jiuwei picked up the porcelain spoon and took a sip. "Mmm, the soup you served yourself is indeed delicious!"

She looked at Xie Yanli with a smile in her eyes, her expression subtly teasing.

But Xie Yanli blushed slightly at the sight of her shimmering eyes.

How could she say that?

Xie Jingchun witnessed the whole thing and couldn't help but shudder.

His parents' relationship is getting better and better, but he feels increasingly superfluous...

Upon hearing this, Xie Jue immediately perked up his ears.

She raised her little face and asked eagerly, "What soup?"

While asking, he looked around to see which soup was available.

Xie Jing: ...

He truly didn't understand his third brother's world.

After dinner, Xu Liuer and Xie Zhongzhi returned to Zhiyuan Courtyard in silence.

Along the way, Xie Zhongzhi looked at Xu Liuer countless times, but in the end he only received her indifferent profile.

Each time Xie Zhongzhi saw it, he felt increasingly angry.

Once inside the house, he couldn't resist any longer. He reached out, grabbed Xu Liuer's wrist, and pulled her in front of him.

He forcefully lifted her chin with his right hand, forcing Xu Liuer to look him in the eye.

"Why are you still angry?" Xie Zhongzhi frowned.

Xu Liuer was clearly the one who made a mistake, so why is she getting angry now?

He had thought that his anger towards Xu Liuer that morning would make her realize her mistake.

But to my surprise, she remained the same.

She clearly loves Xu Liuer so much, she can't be angry!

Xu Liuer looked at him coldly, "Do you still think that Xie Siyuan killing the rabbit is completely unimportant?"

of course.

Xie Zhongzhi was about to blurt it out.

But seeing Xu Liuer's expression, he pursed his lips and remained silent.

He knew that Xu Liuer was kind-hearted and pitied the rabbit.

Xie Siyuan killing the rabbit was unacceptable to her.

That's just womanly compassion.

However, Xu Liuer was, after all, his wife, so he couldn't say it directly.

Xie Zhongzhi was disdainful, but he was still willing to put on an act in front of her.

Once she's no longer angry, you can slowly train her.

Sooner or later, she'll become like them.

"It's my fault." Xie Zhongzhi took Xu Liuer's hand, rubbed it in his palm, and coaxed her gently, "I shouldn't have been so loud this morning."

"As for Siyuan, I just feel that he is still a child and can be taught slowly. He is, after all, our own child."

"Perhaps after being punished this time, he will realize his mistake and correct it."

He won't admit his mistakes and correct them.

The words popped into Xu Liuer's mind almost instantly.

She looked up and met his deep, tender gaze.

She couldn't help but think of the day she returned, when Xie Zhongzhi kowtowed repeatedly in front of the Lady of the Marquis in order to marry her, until his forehead turned red. Xu Liuer finally softened her heart.

Seeing that her expression had softened considerably, Xie Zhongzhi slightly curled his lips.

He went up to her and hugged her, saying, "Couples always argue; just talk it out."

He placed a kiss on her forehead, then slowly moved it down.

The following day, at Qinglan Courtyard.

Qin Jiuwei had some free time today, so she was painting and drawing in her room.

During this period, she no longer went to the main courtyard to learn housekeeping from the Lady Hou.

Lady Hou has no good intentions and won't put much effort into teaching her.

Of course, she doesn't need it.

Two days later, Qin Jiuwei made an excuse that she was sick and did not go again.

Hearing footsteps, she saw Xiaohe lift the curtain and come in with a smile on her face.

"What's wrong? You seem so happy," Qin Jiu asked with a slight smile.

“It’s about the young lady…” Xiaohe paused after speaking, “Oh no, it’s about Consort Qin.”

Seeing that Xiaohe reacted so quickly, Qin Jiuwei nodded slightly.

When the two were alone, Xiaohe always called her "Miss," because they were close.

But Qin Le'an is now the emperor's concubine, so she should be even more careful with her words.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Xiaohe talked and laughed, her eyebrows dancing with excitement, and her hands never stopped moving.

"Now that Consort Xian is in charge of the inner palace, her first act is to cut back on Consort Qin's allowance. Consort Qin is currently under house arrest, and her life is already difficult compared to before. Now that her allowance has been cut, she is so angry that she makes a scene. She even used a shard of porcelain to injure the guards at the door!"

"Originally, the embezzlement was done secretly, but who knew it would blow up like this, and now the whole palace knows!"

Qin Jiuwei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This is something Qin Le'an would do.

"Where is the Emperor? What did the Emperor say?"
