"So... Princess Qi, your so-called efforts to build good relationships with others and take care of me are just a way to ruin my reputation, aren't they?"

Qi Zhiyu asked with a mocking laugh, "Or rather... your purpose is not limited to this."

"If my reputation is ruined in northern Yunnan, my grandfather will investigate and find out that it was spread among these women."

Qi Zhiyu clicked her tongue and shook her head, sighing, "How do you think my grandfather, and the soldiers and people of Da Rui, feel about how Bei Dian has humiliated me like this?"

The intense jealousy was almost burning Princess Qi to ashes. She gritted her teeth and asked unwillingly, "What do you think?"

"What you think is none of your business," Qi Zhiyu said with a disdainful smile.

"Anyway, the day my bad reputation reaches Da Rui will be the day Da Rui's iron cavalry comes out in full force."

Qi Zhiyu clapped her hands and laughed heartily: "Qi Kingdom is quite the schemer!"

"Let our Great Rui destroy Northern Dian, weakening our national strength. Then, the Qi Kingdom can take the opportunity to attack our Great Rui!"

"Princess Consort Qi, you have truly gone to great lengths for your husband and for the Qi Kingdom..."

"It's a pity." Qi Zhiyu looked at everyone present with regret. "These kind-hearted people, who genuinely believed that you cared about my wife, have become pawns that you used."

"When the Northern Dian Kingdom is destroyed, they will be the culprits of its downfall... How pitiful."

"Shut up!" Princess Qi slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly. "Qi Zhiyu, you're talking nonsense."

Qi Zhiyu also stood up: "Whether it's true or not, I don't know. I was just saying it casually, so you can really take it as me talking nonsense."

"Seventh Princess, I feel nauseous just looking at Princess Qi. I won't be attending your banquet. I hope you enjoy your meal and have a pleasant conversation."

Qi Zhiyu smiled happily at the Seventh Princess, then turned and left with Luo Yu Ning Shuang.

The moment she left, the atmosphere at the banquet instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Princess Qi: "...Seventh Princess, Qi Zhiyu was just talking nonsense. I...I didn't..."

"Princess Consort Qi, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation!" The Seventh Princess's face was frosty, and the other ladies were also staring at Princess Consort Qi with covetous eyes.

Qi Zhiyu left, and an hour later, Jiang Tinghao arrived at the Seventh Princess's residence.

"Royal elder sister." Jiang Tinghao was about to bow when the Seventh Princess helped him up.

"We're siblings, why all this formality?" the Seventh Princess said with amusement. "Sit down."

"Yes." Jiang Tinghao sat down with a smile, and it was clear that he and the Seventh Princess were exceptionally close.

"That's a great idea," the Seventh Princess said with a pleased smile. "Princess Qi has agreed to make Qi Yanhe compensate us."

"My idea is good, but it also requires the cooperation of my elder sister and all the ladies," Jiang Tinghao said with a smile. "Now, let's use the Qi Kingdom's silver to train our soldiers in Northern Yunnan."

"Once this team is fully trained..." Jiang Tinghao smiled smugly, brimming with confidence, "What are Da Rui and Qi Guo? They'll all be no match for us!"

"Father really did not spoil you. You have been a clever little devil since you were a child, and now that you have grown up and matured, you are becoming more and more amazing." The Seventh Princess said with a smile.

"However, Qi Zhiyu... you must be careful, she is not a simple person," the Seventh Princess said worriedly.

Jiang Tinghao smiled: "Royal sister, don't worry. I've formed a pact with her, so she can only think about things that are good for me."

"If she doesn't cooperate and continues to treat Princess Qi this way, our compensation won't be so easy to obtain."

The Seventh Princess was relieved: "It's good that you know what's going on. As a woman, I can only cooperate with you. Ultimately, you have to make the final decisions."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Northern Yunnan will definitely have a bright and different future." Jiang Tinghao stood up and bowed deeply to the ground.

"Alright, alright, I know, I know you're capable." The Seventh Princess chuckled. "Go on with your work."

"Yes." Jiang Tinghao bowed and left.

The seventh princess sighed; her younger brother had truly grown up.

However, what about the Crown Prince?

The Seventh Princess was somewhat hesitant, but she still sent an invitation to the Crown Prince.

The next day, after the Crown Prince finished his morning court session and dealt with his affairs, he went to the Seventh Princess's residence.

"What is it?" the prince asked curiously.

The Seventh Princess recounted what had happened yesterday, and then showed the Crown Prince an account book: "This is the silver that Qi Yanhe paid in compensation. It has all been sent to the army to train the soldiers."

"Your Highness, our little brother has truly grown up and matured."

Crown Prince: "..."

I don't know what to say, so I'll just stay silent.

"He is now meticulous and far-sighted," the Seventh Princess exclaimed with satisfaction.

Crown Prince: "..."

Seventh Princess: "Look, even that arrogant and domineering Qi Zhiyu, who tried to use the so-called contract to restrain him, was ultimately used by our brother and made to serve the Northern Yunnan."

Crown Prince: "..."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" He really couldn't listen anymore.

"What I'm trying to say is that our younger brother foresaw Qi Yanhe's purpose and used Qi Yanhe's ambition and scheming to outmaneuver him," the Seventh Princess said.

"He's still our brother, he won't pose a threat to you."

"Nowadays, each country has its own agenda, and it is not advisable for brothers to fight each other."

The Crown Prince gave the Seventh Princess a deep look: "Don't worry, that day will never come."

Even though the Crown Prince said that, the Seventh Princess was still worried: "Crown Prince, our younger brother said that Northern Yunnan will have a very good and different future. He doesn't want to compete for power; he just wants the best for Northern Yunnan."

Crown Prince: "..."

The seventh princess asked in surprise and confusion, "Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that?"

The way the Crown Prince was looking at her was really strange. Had she said something wrong?

She really didn't want the brothers to kill each other.

"We brothers will not fight over this," the Crown Prince said in a deep voice.

Because by then, Northern Yunnan no longer existed.

"Northern Yunnan will also have a bright and different future," the prince continued.

Of course it's good. With Qi Zhiyu around, how could it not be good?

However, that wonderful country was no longer in Northern Yunnan, but belonged to the Great Rui.

"Now, the Qi Kingdom is watching us with predatory eyes. We will work together to become strong and will never let the Qi Kingdom's conspiracy succeed," the Crown Prince said.

The Qi Kingdom will certainly not succeed.

Because every step Qi Yan and his group took was within Qi Zhiyu's expectations.

In fact, every step Qi Yan and his group took was planned by Qi Zhiyu.

How could they possibly succeed with that?

Go ahead and get your way in your dreams.

The Seventh Princess was relieved: "I have to say, our little brother is really capable now."

"They sold so many things to Princess Qi at high prices, making a huge profit, and now they've brought back so much silver."

"It's just a pity that I married Qi Zhiyu, alas..."

"But it's all good. If I hadn't married Qi Zhiyu, I wouldn't have been able to get so much money from Qi Yanhe."

"It's truly a mixed bag."
