The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

The unique dragon pattern comes to life under the sunlight.

The gentle, lustrous light stung the Third Princess's eyes.

She stared blankly at the jade pendant, as if a thunderbolt had struck her mind.

Upon seeing the jade pendant, the other women immediately knelt down and kowtowed in respect without hesitation.

At the scene, only Qi Zhiyu and the Third Princess stood facing each other.

However, the two were in completely different states, creating a stark contrast.

The third princess was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and was completely dazed and disoriented, as if her soul had left her body.

Qi Zhiyu stared at the Third Princess with a mocking smile in her eyes and brows.

Although she didn't say a word, the Third Princess felt extremely humiliated and provoked.

The third princess's lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Qi Zhiyu simply raised an eyebrow.

The third princess closed her eyes in pain and knelt down.

Qi Zhiyu smiled gently and said, "Please rise, everyone."

After everyone expressed their gratitude, they stood up.

"Hey... Third Princess, I didn't say you could get up." Qi Zhiyu's words made the Third Princess, who was about to get up, look up in disbelief.

She glared fiercely at Qi Zhiyu: "What do you want to do?"

Each word was forced out through gritted teeth.

Qi Zhiyu lowered her head and smiled faintly: "Third Princess, I just want to tell you to think before you speak in the future."

"Otherwise, you will not only lose face for yourself, but also for the face of Da Rui and Qi Kingdom."

"Princess Da Rui and Princess Qi are contradicting themselves... You may be shameless, but your grandfather is."

The Third Princess stared at Qi Zhiyu with eyes as sharp as knives, wishing she could skin Qi Zhiyu alive.

However, Qi Zhiyu didn't care at all. She still asked with a smile, "Third Princess, have you remembered it?"

The Third Princess wanted to unleash a torrent of curses, but when her gaze fell upon the jade pendant in Qi Zhiyu's hand that read "As if I were personally present," she swallowed back all her curses.

"I've got it." It took all the strength in his life to swallow the bitter humiliation when he said those three words, "Third Princess."

"Hmm." Qi Zhiyu was satisfied. "Get up."

The third princess jumped to her feet, glaring angrily at Qi Zhiyu, who had retrieved the jade pendant: "How did Father's jade pendant end up with you?"

The women around her looked at the Third Princess in disbelief.

Even the ministers and their families who sided with the King of Wu couldn't help but agree with what Princess Chen'an said.

If the Third Princess continues to speak without thinking, she will bring shame to both the Great Rui Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Third Princess, what you're saying is truly laughable."

"How did you get it? Besides being given to me by my grandfather, how else could it have come from?"

"You don't actually think I stole it, do you?"

"There's no point in stealing this thing and not using it."

"If you steal it and use it, you're just asking for trouble."

Do you think I would steal it?

The third princess was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but couldn't find a single word to refute her.

She could only ask, resentfully, "Why? Why did Father bestow this upon you?"

Qi Zhiyu gave her answer with utmost seriousness: "Because I'm cute."

Princess Rui chuckled softly. Yes, her Yu'er was just that adorable.

Apart from Princess Rui and the maids of the Rui Prince's Mansion who thought the same way, everyone else looked at Qi Zhiyu with mixed feelings.

How could she possibly say that?

Does the word "cute" have anything to do with Princess Chen'an?

"princess!"

"Princess!"

The maidservants beside the Third Princess hurriedly supported her as she nearly fainted.

"Third Princess, are you feeling unwell?" Qi Zhiyu asked with concern.

"Look, how did you do this?"

Everyone: "..."

How did this happen? Doesn't she know?

"Sigh, it seems the Third Princess is living quite well in Qi Kingdom, truly enjoying a life of luxury," Qi Zhiyu sighed.

"Look at you, you're already this tired just from offering incense."

"Quick, quick, go sit down and rest over there, don't actually faint."

The Third Princess rolled her eyes at Qi Zhiyu. She was dizzy and didn't even have the strength to glare at Qi Zhiyu.

The maidservant quickly helped the Third Princess to a nearby pavilion where she could rest.

They came to pray and offer incense today, and the servants came in advance to make preparations.

This is the place where everyone can rest and drink tea after offering incense.

"Third Princess, please try this fruit drink," a female relative said solicitously.

The Third Princess's maidservant hurriedly presented it with both hands. The Third Princess took a small sip, and then looked up in surprise: "This fruit drink... is extraordinary."

"Yes," the woman said with a smile.

"The vegetarian meals at this temple used to be quite good."

"Lately, it has become increasingly tempting."

"Not only that, their tea and fruit drinks are also specially prepared."

"It really is refreshing..." the Third Princess murmured, "It has a flavor that's hard to describe."

"It's a pity that these excellent fruit drinks, tea, and vegetarian meals are limited every day," the woman said with a smile.

"Even if you want to buy it at a high price, it's not possible. You have to come and taste it in person. It's not for takeout."

"But the tea brewed at the entrance has never stopped being used to quench the thirst of ordinary people."

"The rules of this temple are quite interesting," the Third Princess said. "When I return to Qi Kingdom, I'll take a few pounds of tea with me."

"Third Princess, why are you putting the abbot in such a difficult position?" Qi Zhiyu asked. "The temple's rules are the rules; are you determined to break them?"

The Third Princess's face darkened: "What? Can't I even take some tea to Qi Kingdom?"

"If the King of Qi enjoys the drink, he might buy a large quantity, which would generate additional tax revenue for Da Rui."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and asked, "Doesn't the Third Princess understand the principle that scarcity increases value?"

Even His Majesty never considered making an exception for temples to bring tea into the palace.

"In the Third Princess's heart, is the King of Qi more noble than your father, the Emperor?"

This accusation made the Third Princess's face turn pale with anger: "Chen An, has anyone ever told you that you're quick-witted?"

"At such a young age, he already loves to talk big. What will he be like in the future?"

"You're not even married yet, and you're already a gossip. If you were to marry someone in the future... which in-laws would be able to stand you?"

Upon hearing this topic, Jiang Shuyi perked up: "Third Princess, you may not know this, but Princess Chen'an will not marry into the family; instead, she will find a husband to live with her."

"Perhaps they won't even want a son-in-law, but instead keep a male concubine."

The third princess's eyes lit up instantly; she had finally caught Qi Zhiyu red-handed: "A male concubine?"

"Chen'an, haven't you just come of age? How can you be looking for male concubines at such a young age? What kind of behavior is this?"

"Royal sister-in-law, aren't you going to do anything about it?" The Third Princess looked at Princess Rui. "Is this how you discipline your daughter? Or is this the prevailing family tradition in the Rui Prince's Mansion?"
