At this moment, Yu Yunxi’s light laughter rang in the air.

“As it turns out, Meng Xia has such a good relationship with Can Ban.”

Yu Yunxi was dressed in a dark red palace dress with a green sparrow embroidered near the hem of the dress. Her black hair fell to her slender waist, and she wore a pearl and orchid hairpin on her head. Her face was exquisite, and her posture was dignified. Her eyes were bright, and there was a faint smile on her face.

Yu Shuangshuang stood next to Yu Yunxi. She had also dressed up meticulously, but her clothes were plain. It was clear that she was trying her best to reduce her presence. Based on this, it could be seen that she was a smart woman.

Meng Xia was anxious. She gestured with her hands and feet as she tried to explain, “Eldest Princess, please don’t misunderstand. That was many years ago, and the truth is different from what he said…

At this time, Qian Qing interjected, saying, “Sister Meng Xia, you just hugged

Can Ban. We have no choice but to believe his words.”

Qian Qing looked like she was enjoying the show. After all, Meng Xia often teased her and Luo Xiuran. Now that she was given an opportunity to tease the other party, how could she let it go?

“No, that’s not it…”

Meng Xia’s face turned red immediately. She quickly withdrew her hands from around Can Ban and stomped her feet angrily as she said, “You fool, you’re too tall. I meant to cover your mouth, but it looked like I was hugging you!”

Upon hearing this, Can Ban nodded seriously. “Alright. If you want to cover my mouth in the future, tell me in advance. I’ll lower my head for you.”

‘Hmm?’

Qian Qing, Qian Jiao, Qian Mei, and Yu Yunxi widened their eyes in shock upon hearing this.

Even Yu Shuangshuang could not help but smile.

‘It seems like he likes Meng Nia?’

“W-what are you talking about?” Meng Xia stammered, blushing furiously.

Then, she quickly said, changing the topic, “Didn’t you say that we should enter the palace as soon as possible? Now that the Eldest Princess is here, let’s leave.” “In fact, we’re not in a rush, right?” Yu Yunxi asked meaningfully.

‘Unexpectedly, Meng Xia and Can Ban are so interesting… It seems like I have to help them in the future…’

Yu Yunxi felt much more at ease if her subordinates found people to spend their lives with.

“Eldest Princess, you’ve misunderstood…”

Meng Xia wanted to cry but had no tears.

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and asked, “Oh? Then tell me, what did I misunderstand?”

“Alright, let’s enter the palace first.’

Yu Yunxi held back her laughter and flicked Meng Xia’s forehead before she walked to the carriage.

‘Meng Xia is even shyer than Qian Qing. It’s best not to push her too much…’

Just as Yu Yunxi was about to enter the carriage, another carriage pulled up to the entrance of the King of Zhenbei’s residence. It was very different from the carriages in the capital.

Can Ban was very knowledgeable and quickly said, “The emblem seems to be from the Qiangwu Tribe…’

‘Qiangwu Tribe?’

In the next moment, Yu Yunxi recalled when she had heard about the Qiangwu Tribe.

At the same time, Meng Xia said, “That’s the tribe that Princess Changlin married into…”

‘Is she here?’

Meng Xia’s expression was grave as she stood in front of Yu Yunxi.

However, the carriage seemed to be empty. Only a coachman and a few attendants could be seen standing outside the carriage.

One of the attendants strode forward. He bowed slightly and said with a smile, “You must be the Eldest Princess of Xichu. I’m here on the orders of our princess to bring the three Kang sisters into the palace.”

At this moment, the three Kang sisters, who were dressed up meticulously, slowly walked out.

The attendant turned around and bowed to the three women. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Kang Qingping looked at Yu Yunxi and said in surprise, “Eldest Princess, we thought you’d already left the palace. We didn’t expect you to still be here.” Just like Yu Shuangshuang, Kang Qingping addressed Yu Yunxi as ‘Eldest Princess’ and did not try to get close to Yu Yunxi. She looked like someone who knew her limits.

Yu Yunxi’s expression did not change as she said lightly, “I was delayed for a while so I’m a little late…”

Yu Yunxi did not ask about the relationship between the Qiangwu Tribe and the Kang sisters or why they were going into the palace, and she also did not make things difficult for them. Instead, she calmly got into the carriage.

Qian Qing and the others quickly followed suit.

Only when Yu Yunxi’s luxurious carriage was already far away did the three Kang sisters react.

“Eldest Sister, Second Sister, why is her reaction so different from what we expected?” Kang Qingrui asked, stomping her feet with an unwilling expression on his face.

The Kang sisters knew that they needed an opportunity if they wanted to climb the social ladder and become famous in the capital. Tonight’s palace banquet was the perfect opportunity.

They tried to curry favor with Old Madam Zhou because they wanted her to beg Yu Yunxi to bring them into the palace. After all, as the Eldest Princess, it was not difficult for Yu Yunxi to bring them into the palace. Unexpectedly, Yu Yunxi was willing to bring Yu Shuangshuang, the daughter of a concubine, but was unwilling to bring them. As such, they asked for help from Princess Changlin. They had heard from their mother about the conflict between Princess

Changlin, Princess Changning, and the King of Zhenbei. Just as expected, when Princess Changlin heard that Yu Yunxi was unwilling to bring them into the palace, Princess Changlin agreed immediately. She even sent people to pick them up.

“So what if she doesn’t want to bring us into the palace? We found someone else. I really felt like slapping her earlier,” Kang Qingxin said indignantly, “Also, she saw the carriage was from the Qiangvvu Tribe, but she still didn’t ask any questions.”

Since Yu Yunxi did not ask any questions, they naturally lost the chance to show off.

At this moment, the attendant said meaningfully, “The Eldest Princess is not an easy person to scheme against.”

Kang Qingping’s eyes flashed. She quickly stopped Kang Qingxin and Kang

Qingrui from talking. For now, it was more important to curry favor with Princess Changlin. Moreover, she did not want to completely offend Yu Yunxi for now. After all, it was better to turn an annoying person into a stepping stone than an enemy.

Kang Qingping pulled her sisters into the carriage as she said, “Alright, let’s go. The palace banquet will begin soon. Princess Changlin is still waiting for us.”

Meanwhile…

Meng Xia was bristling as she said, “The three Kang sisters actually colluded with Princess Changlin?”

Meng Xia did not believe that the three sisters were unaware of the conflict between Princess Changning and Princess Changlin.

“How’s the investigation?” Yu Yunxi asked.

Meng Xia knew Yu Yunxi was referring to the investigation of the three Kang sisters, and she quickly replied, “Eldest Princess, your suspicion is right. The three Kang sisters are not simple. Initially, I planned to report to you after the palace banquet, but I have no choice but to report it now.”

Meng Xia continued to say angrily, “The three sisters are really ambitious.

After coming to the capital, they secretly took invitations from the King of Zhenbei’s Residence to come in contact with people in the capital. Although the invitations were from small officials and merchants with some money, it’s clear what their intentions are..”
