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

How did the princess manage to do that?

It's something we found in the woods.

After they processed it according to the princess's instructions, it became a delicacy they had never tasted before.

Qi Zhiyu looked at the people around her who were enjoying their food and managed to suppress a slight smile.

Eating wild game occasionally is not a bad thing.

"Halt!" a guard on duty nearby shouted.

Someone angrily rebuked, "How absurd! This is a sacred place; how can you kill and eat animals here?"

Qi Zhiyu ate rabbit meat while listening to the farce happening not far away.

Is he really losing his temper?

Yes, she's starting to like the Heavenly Dao here.

They keep giving her things, and she can't refuse them even if she wants to.

"Leave immediately!" The guard didn't waste any words, just shouted.

"Who are you?" the newcomer shouted angrily. "How dare you be so insolent?"

The guard shouted sternly, "Princess Chen'an is here! Stop your insolence and leave immediately!"

The newcomer gasped: "Even a princess cannot break the rules like this."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled softly, "Let her in."

Upon hearing Qi Zhiyu's words, the guards immediately made way.

Then, the group of people walked in.

The girl at the head of the group had an angry expression, but upon seeing Qi Zhiyu, she still knew to bow respectfully: "This humble woman greets the Princess."

As for the person in front of her, she glanced at the maid beside her.

The maid immediately lowered her voice and whispered in Qi Zhiyu's ear, "Princess, this is Fu Xinyu, the daughter of a Hanlin Academy Reader."

"Fu Xinyu, do I need your permission to eat anything?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

Fu Xinyu was still kneeling on the ground.

No one builds roads in this forest.

The ground was covered with pebbles. She had been pampered since childhood, how could her knees withstand all that?

It had been hurting terribly for a long time.

She thought that after she bowed, Qi Zhiyu would immediately ask her to stand up, but to her surprise, Qi Zhiyu had no intention of doing so at all.

"Princess, I am not interfering with you. It's just that this is a sacred Buddhist place, and it's natural not to kill or eat meat," Fu Xinyu advised softly.

"If Your Highness likes rabbits, I can have my cook prepare them and send them to Your Highness's residence."

"Princess, let's be more discreet here."

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly and waved to a guard beside her.

The guards immediately came over and awaited instructions.

"Go to the Hanlin Academy, arrest the Imperial Reader, bring him to the palace, and tell Grandfather that someone is plotting a rebellion." Qi Zhiyu's words terrified Fu Xinyu.

The guard replied, "Yes!"

He turned and strode away.

Fu Xinyu panicked: "No, we can't leave!"

Why would the guards of the Prince Ke Rui's mansion listen to her?

Seeing that she couldn't get the guards to stop her, Fu Xinyu looked at Qi Zhiyu anxiously: "Princess, I only offered a word of advice, why must you implicate my father?"

"Princess, I only spoke up to remind you because I wanted what was best for you."

Qi Zhiyu stood up: "Arrest her too, and take her to the palace."

The maidservant next to her immediately obeyed and stepped forward, grabbing Fu Xinyu by the arm.

The maidservants beside Fu Xinyu didn't even have a chance to resist.

Because the guards of Prince Rui's mansion drew their swords and stared at them menacingly.

If Fu Xinyu's maid made a single move, blood would immediately splatter on the spot.

They knew that Princess Chen'an was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

Hasn't Princess Chen'an killed enough people?

"Princess." Fu Xinyu never expected to be captured in such a disheveled state.

Things turned out to be completely different from what she had imagined.

"Chen'an, what are you doing?" Princess Wu hurried over from a distance.

She looked at Qi Zhiyu with displeasure: "Let go of Miss Fu."

Qi Zhiyu simply smiled at Princess Wu without saying a word.

Of course, the maids in Prince Rui's mansion did not let up either.

Princess Wu's words were like farts; no one listened to them at all.

This made Princess Wu feel her face burning.

"Chen'an, didn't you hear me?" Princess Wu scolded. "I am your elder."

"Oh, so?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

Princess Wu choked. Why was Qi Zhiyu so stubborn?

"Alright, stop making a scene," said Princess Wu. "We're all family, why make things so unpleasant?"

"A family?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Princess Wu with confusion.

Princess Wu smiled and said, "Miss Fu is also engaged to your cousin. She will enter the house shortly after your cousin and his wife complete their wedding ceremony."

"So she was a concubine." Qi Zhiyu realized.

Fu Xinyu's expression changed, and her face turned completely red with embarrassment.

It is indeed dishonorable to be someone's concubine, but that person was the legitimate son of the King of Wu, who was originally the crown prince.

Countless young ladies from prominent families were envious that she could become Qi Jinghong's concubine.

Princess Wu frowned slightly. Did Qi Zhiyu even know how to speak properly?

What nonsense about concubines, especially in front of Fu Xinyu, it's really awful.

"No matter what, we'll all be family from now on," Princess Wu said, bringing the conversation back on track.

Fu Xinyu glanced at Princess Wu with relief. Her future mother-in-law's approval and support made her feel much more at ease.

Even if she is a concubine, it is good if her parents-in-law value her.

Besides, someone like Qi Jinghong's legal wife would never be favored. In the future, she will be the one her husband loves the most.

"Princess Consort Wu, I think you've misunderstood," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh. "I wouldn't even give face to Prince Wu's uncle, who's such a close relative. Do you think I would give face to Prince Wu's son's concubine who hasn't even entered the family yet?"

"Princess Consort Wu, what are your thoughts?"

Qi Zhiyu's words caused Princess Wu's expression to change drastically.

Qi Zhiyu isn't giving her any face at all.

Especially in front of Fu Xinyu, how will Fu Xinyu view her after she enters the house?

"Chen'an, don't be so outrageous!" Princess Wu said with a stern face. "His Majesty dotes on you. However, His Majesty will absolutely not tolerate your reckless behavior."

"Everyone is praying for the people these days, but you're coming to the temple to eat meat. What are you trying to do?"

"Why pray for the people?" Qi Zhiyu asked, amused.

"Princess Consort Wu, you must have forgotten that those innocent people died because of Zhou Lizhen's corruption and abuse of power. And Zhou Lizhen was only transferred to the capital because your husband, the Prince of Wu, recommended him."

"Princess Wu, are you now praying for those people or atoning for your sins...? Do you even know the answer?"

Princess Wu swayed, her face turning pale.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "Since Princess Wu cares so much about Fu Xinyu, let's go to the palace together."

As she spoke, she walked outside.

"Your Highness..." Fu Xinyu called out anxiously and fearfully as her maid escorted her out.

When Princess Wu saw the direction Qi Zhiyu had gone, a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes.

Qi Zhiyu's carriage was parked outside, and to take the carriage, one would have to pass through a crowded area.

She wanted to show everyone just how unreasonable and domineering Qi Zhiyu could be!
