The trees along the avenue were lush and leafy, blocking out the sunlight. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor walked beneath them, enjoying the cool breeze.
When Shen Lixue arrived at the garden, she saw this scene of three generations of family enjoying themselves. Just as she was considering finding a suitable opportunity to approach, the Empress Dowager saw her and kindly called out, "Lixue!"
"This humble woman greets the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the ladies, the princes..." Shen Lixue quickly walked to the front of the crowd and bowed.
"Rise, how are the Prince of An and the Prince of Yunnan?" the Empress Dowager asked with a smile. The Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Shen Lixue with a majestic gaze, without saying a word. The concubines and princes behind him also remained silent.
"Your Majesty, Prince An and the Prince of Yunnan have both taken the hangover pills and fallen asleep, but..." Shen Lixue hesitated, then stopped herself.
"But what?" the Empress Dowager asked urgently, her expression darkening slightly.
“Prince An may have old wounds from the battlefield, his brows are always furrowed. My medical skills are not good enough to diagnose where the prince is injured…” Shen Lixue answered softly, her tone low, as if Dongfang Heng’s wounds were very serious.
"Someone, summon Physician Chen to Chang Le Palace to treat Prince An!" The Empress Dowager lowered her eyelids and gave the order in a deep voice.
A eunuch accepted the order and left!
The Empress Dowager, supporting the Emperor's hand, led him to the Chang Le Palace: "I'm going to the Chang Le Palace to see Prince An!"
Shen Lixue stepped aside to let the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the concubines go first. When Dongfang Zhan passed by Shen Lixue, he glanced at her, his gentle and refined eyes revealing a hint of a different kind of smile.
Shen Lixue raised her eyebrows slightly. Prince Zhan is indeed a clever man!
The Fifth Prince, palace maids, and eunuchs had all left. The palace maid who delivered the fruit also left after putting down the fruit. Apart from the guards at the gate, only Dongfang Heng and Nangong Xiao remained in the entire Chang Le Palace. The courtyard was very quiet.
Shen Yingxue made up a reason to deceive the guards and entered Chang Le Palace. She quietly walked into the east wing, where the scent of pine filled the air, making her feel refreshed. Shen Yingxue took a few deep breaths and carefully stepped into the inner room.
On the large bed in the inner room lay a tall, slender, and upright white figure. The semi-transparent curtains gently concealed the person's features, but Shen Yingxue knew that it must be Dongfang Heng.
Shen Yingxue slowly approached the large bed, gazing at the handsome man sleeping on it. Her heart pounded like a drum, and her beautiful eyes were faintly misty with tears. Finally, she could get up close to Prince An. How happy she was! This scene, which she could only dream of before, had finally come true today.
A hint of resentment flashed in Shen Yingxue's beautiful eyes. "Dongfang Heng, do you know how much I love you? So much! But why can't you ever see me? I'm the most beautiful woman in Qingyan, far more beautiful than Shen Lixue, and a much better match for you. Why does your gaze never linger on me? Is it because of that marriage contract? Does it bind you, making you afraid to face me?"
Fortunately, by the grace of Heaven, we were able to meet under these circumstances. Dongfang Heng, I am willing to give you everything. After today, I will be your rightful Princess Consort, and no one can separate us.
With a slender tug, Shen Yingxue untied her sash, and her scarlet outer garment slowly slid down, gently floating to the ground...

The white silk undergarment was well-tailored, making Shen Yingxue's figure appear even more slender. She glanced at the sleeping man in the tent, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she gently unbuttoned the undergarment.
The buttons were undone one by one from top to bottom, and the inner garment, like silk, slipped quietly down her arms, revealing her exquisite figure. The bright red bodice embroidered with beautiful plum blossoms covered her full breasts, and the exposed skin was delicate, smooth, and white as porcelain.
Shen Yingxue walked gracefully towards the large bed, each step as swaying as a willow in the breeze, charming and captivating. The thin fabric of her clothes could not conceal her youthful and radiant body.
The light pink, semi-transparent bed curtains reflected the handsome man on the bed, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene. Shen Yingxue gently pulled open a small gap and gazed affectionately at the man's handsome face, her infatuation and admiration fully revealed without any reservation.
She originally thought that Chang Le Palace was heavily guarded and that she would have to go to great lengths to get in touch with Dongfang Heng. However, apart from the guards at the entrance, there was not a single palace maid or eunuch in the entire Chang Le Palace, which made things much easier for her.
Shen Yingxue smiled smugly. "Heng, did you see that? Even the heavens are helping us!"
On the large bed, a handsome man lay on his side on the soft brocade quilt, his eyes gently closed, fast asleep, as if unaware that there was another person in the room.
Heng, after today, I will be your Princess Consort. We will be together forever and never be separated again!
Shen Yingxue looked at Dongfang Heng with a shy and timid expression, and reached out to untie the strap of her bodice.
Suddenly, a series of orderly footsteps came from outside. The sound varied in volume and pace, indicating that quite a few people were approaching.
Shen Yingxue was taken aback. Just now, Chang Le Palace was completely empty. How come so many people have suddenly arrived?
"Imperial Physician Chen, Prince An may have an old injury. Go to the east wing to treat him." The Empress Dowager's kind voice rang out from outside. Shen Yingxue's eyes lit up. Originally, she had planned to deliberately create some trouble to let people know that she had given herself to Prince An. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager arrived at this time, so she no longer needed to make any arrangements. As long as people saw that she had lost her virginity to Prince An, the position of Princess An would be hers.
The hurried footsteps grew closer. Shen Yingxue bent down and quickly reached out to take off Dongfang Heng's clothes. The Prince of An's clothes were very neat. She couldn't possibly blame him. She had to mess up his clothes so that he looked like he had done that kind of thing.
Unexpectedly, the moment she reached out her hand, the sleeping Dongfang Heng suddenly opened his eyes, his dark pupils gathering cold light like sharp blades, and shot towards her.
Shen Yingxue felt a sudden bang, and her whole body was instantly frozen. The movements in her hands came to an abrupt halt. She felt as if she were in an ice cellar in the twelfth lunar month, with a chill that cut to the bone.
"Get out!" Accompanied by Dongfang Heng's cold and angry shout, a powerful palm strike was also unleashed.
Before Shen Yingxue could react, her slender body was sent flying, crashing through the sturdy lattice window and falling straight out.
Outside, the Empress Dowager walked slowly with the Emperor's support, her heart filled with worry for Dongfang Heng's injuries. Suddenly, an unidentified object darted out from the side and fell heavily at the Empress Dowager's feet. Startled, the Empress Dowager staggered back a step.
"Assassins!" The sharp-eyed guards drew their swords and quickly surrounded the emperor and empress dowager, shielding them behind them, their swords pointed at the unidentified figure on the ground.
"Ah!" A shrill scream pierced through the clouds, echoing through the sky and shocking everyone's eardrums.
The crowd frowned, looking displeased at the reddish, unidentified figure on the ground. It was a woman, wearing only a fur coat and a bright red bodice, lying face down on the ground. The crowd couldn't see her face clearly. The thin straps of the bodice crossed on her smooth, porcelain-like back, arousing the imagination. Her delicate back and exquisite figure made many young men stare.
"Shen Yingxue, how could it be you?" Zhuang Kexin exclaimed sharply, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in her eyes.
Everyone was taken aback at first, then looked closely and saw that the scantily clad woman lying on the ground groaning in pain was none other than Shen Yingxue, the number one beauty of Qingyan.
Shen Lixue stood in the crowd, looking at the broken lattice window, then at the disheveled Shen Yingxue, a slight smile playing on her lips. She knew all along that Dongfang Heng was sober, and no matter how capable Shen Yingxue was, she couldn't outsmart him.
She had imagined many scenarios of Dongfang Heng teaching Shen Yingxue a lesson, but she never expected that after Shen Yingxue took off her outer and inner clothes, he would kick her out, causing her serious injury and making her lose face. Tsk tsk, she is the number one beauty in Qingyan, and he is so insensitive to her.
"Yingxue!" Lei, who was standing on the outside, exclaimed in surprise. He pushed through the crowd and rushed over, taking off his outer garment to cover Shen Yingxue's naked body. He asked urgently, "What happened?"
She was extremely anxious. Under the watchful eyes of many men, Yingxue's body had been seen. What should she do?
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much... I broke my arm!" Shen Yingxue collapsed into Lei Shi's arms, her arm, which was in a white sling, trembling with fear. She was so frightened that she couldn't speak coherently. Her beautiful face was covered with tears, and she looked as delicate as a willow branch, pitiful and charming.
"Physician Chen, please examine my daughter's condition!" Shen Yingxue only groaned about her arm pain, unable to explain the reason or what had happened when she collapsed. Lei Shi had no choice but to beg Physician Chen to treat her arm first, and then make other plans.
"This..." Physician Chen stood still, glancing hesitantly at the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. He had been summoned by the Empress Dowager to treat Prince An's injuries, but Prince An had not yet been seen. It was inappropriate for him to presume to treat someone else...
