Feng Yinwan slept until the next morning.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself back in Lanqing Courtyard. Yuping was waiting by the bedside. Seeing her awake, Yuping immediately leaned forward with concern.
"Miss, you're awake?"
"Did the Prince do anything to you yesterday? I was so worried!"
Feng Yinwan blinked.
It was better not to mention it, but now that it was mentioned, she felt completely unwell. Her limbs were sore, and her whole body ached. She didn't dare to move.
Ye Tinglan, that scoundrel!
Gritting her teeth in hatred, she shook her head and motioned for Yuping to help her up.
As Feng Yinwan got up, she noticed that her clothes had been changed and immediately frowned.
"When did I get back?"
She clearly remembered being in Ye Tinglan's room before she fell unconscious. Why was she back in Lanqing Courtyard when she woke up, and her clothes were...
Yuping understood immediately.
"After the Prince took you away yesterday, I was very worried and rushed to the Prince's mansion, waiting in the courtyard."
"At night, the Prince personally carried you back. Seeing that you were drunk and unconscious, I changed your clothes."
Drunk and unconscious?
Feng Yinwan sneered, "Is that what Ye Tinglan said?"
Yuping nodded and looked at her with a gossip-like gaze.
"Miss, what exactly happened yesterday? I saw the Prince carrying you away looking very angry..."
When he carried you back, he looked satisfied.
She was really curious how her Miss managed to quell the Prince's anger.
Feng Yinwan: No, you're not curious!
She coughed awkwardly under Yuping's expectant gaze and spoke hesitantly.
"Nothing... nothing."
"I was drunk and don't remember anything. Ye Tinglan probably saw that I was dizzy and calmed down himself."
Even she didn't believe what she said.
Yuping raised her eyebrows, clearly suspicious. Before she could ask further questions, the door was knocked.
"Princess Consort."
Feng Yinwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately told Yuping to open the door.
When she opened the door, she saw Qi Xuan standing outside with a food box, smiling. Seeing her, his eyes secretly peeked into the room.
Yuping frowned and put on a stern face, immediately blocking him with displeasure.
"What are you looking at!"
Qi Xuan sheepishly withdrew his gaze and handed her the food box mysteriously.
"Princess Consort hasn't gotten up yet, right?"
"This is chicken soup specially ordered by the Prince from the kitchen. When the Princess Consort wakes up, have her drink it. It's very nourishing for the body!"
Yuping's brows furrowed, thinking he was simply ill.
"Miss is just drunk, and her body is not seriously ill. Why drink chicken soup for no reason!"
Glancing at the food box in her hand, she secretly disliked it.
This thing was greasy, and asking someone to drink it first thing in the morning would surely ruin their appetite for the whole day!
"Drunk?"
Qi Xuan's eyes widened at the mention of being drunk.
So the Princess Consort had drunk alcohol yesterday, then the Prince...
His mind raced. That expression clearly indicated something bad.
Fearing that he might accidentally say something, Feng Yinwan spoke up uneasily.
"Yuping, who is outside?"
Qi Xuan's face lit up at her words. Just as he was about to speak, Yuping unceremoniously shut the door on him.
Then, he heard Yuping say even more heartlessly,
"Miss, it's nothing, just the kitchen delivering chicken soup."
The kitchen delivering chicken soup... delivering chicken soup... delivering...!!!
Yuping placed the chicken soup on the table and turned to prepare washing items for Feng Yinwan.
Feng Yinwan secretly relaxed and got out of bed.
Her body was unusually sore.
As soon as she lifted the quilt, a golden pill fell out. Feng Yinwan was startled, thinking it was medicine from her bracelet to help her recover, and swallowed it directly.
Ye Tinglan's chicken soup was prepared with some thought.
But even so, it was hard to dispel her anger!
Feng Yinwan drank half a bowl and put down her spoon, preparing to go to the dining hall for a good morning tea. Unexpectedly, she ran into an unwelcome guest a few steps after leaving her room.
"Sister Rulian, it's too boring in the palace. The servants are rigid and dull. I prefer to be with you."
Ye Ziyun held Qin Rulian's arm intimately, her words carrying a hint of dependence.
"You just returned to the palace from Qingpu Temple. Princess, don't you need to stay in the palace to accompany Consort Rong?"
Qin Rulian smiled coldly. Ye Ziyun pouted at the mention of her mother.
"You know my mother. She's always solemn and very strict."
"By the way, when are you marrying my brother as a concubine? If you become a concubine sooner, it will be more convenient for you to enter the palace, so that mother doesn't always scold me for going out of the palace."
Qin Rulian's body stiffened abruptly at the words.
The scene from yesterday flashed before her eyes, and resentment and humiliation surged up. Her eyes turned red, and she lowered her head.
Ye Ziyun, who had asked the question unintentionally, was surprised by her reaction.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Qin Rulian shook her head, biting her lip tightly.
Seeing this, Ye Ziyun became even more anxious. "What happened? Weren't you fine at Qingpu Temple the other day? Did you have a quarrel with my brother?"
Qin Rulian still shook her head. "Princess, please don't ask anymore. Brother Tinglan, I'm afraid..."
She stopped mid-sentence, as if thinking of something. Ye Ziyun's brows knitted, and her expression turned fierce.
"Did that bitch Feng Yinwan say something?!"
Qin Rulian pursed her lips, tears streaming down her face.
In Ye Ziyun's eyes, this was tantamount to tacit consent.
"I knew she had no good intentions! Relying on her pregnancy, she dares to be so arrogant and overbearing. It's simply outrageous!"
"You wait, I'll go and talk to my brother right now. With your grace, my brother absolutely cannot let that bitch act wildly!"
She said and turned to leave indignantly. Qin Rulian tried to stop her with her words, but her feet seemed glued to the ground, not moving an inch.
Feng Yinwan curved her lips coldly and emerged from behind the flower bushes.
"Oh, Ziyun is here. Are you here to see Prince Brother?"
Ye Ziyun stopped immediately. Seeing her looking at her with the tone of an elder, her face darkened.
"Nonsense, I'm not here to see my brother, why would I be here to see you!"
"Feng Yinwan, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're pregnant. I will never acknowledge you as my sister-in-law!"
Her tone was too aggressive. Feng Yinwan raised her eyebrows and said calmly.
"Acknowledge me as what?"
Ye Ziyun was getting angry at her composed demeanor.
She replied impatiently.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Don't you understand human language? Are you deaf!"
Unexpectedly, Feng Yinwan was not angered at all. She curled her lips, her beautiful eyes fixed on her.
"Yes."
This sound was lazy and infuriating.
After a while, Ye Ziyun realized that she was responding to her "sister-in-law." Her face turned ugly, and she glared at her angrily.
"Have you no shame!"
Feng Yinwan raised her eyebrows.
"Of course I do. Since Princess Qingyun is so gracious and calls me sister-in-law, I should naturally accept it."
"You!"
Ye Ziyun was choked with anger. "When did I call you sister-in-law? Don't flatter yourself!"
Feng Yinwan wanted to make her furious.
"Just now. Oh, you called me just now too."
Then she looked at Yuping beside her. "Yuping, did you hear that?"
Yuping nodded, her head bobbing decisively.
"Miss, I heard it. Princess Qingyun indeed called you sister-in-law twice!"
