Princess seize the throne from her husband's mistress

The next day, Jiang Fenghua woke up and found herself in Xie Shang's arms again. Thinking of the aphrodisiac she had used on him last night, she sneered with a smug smile, Su Tingwan, you will have to wait for him for the rest of your life!

Just as she was about to reach out and touch his nose, Xie Shang suddenly moved as if he was about to wake up. She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Xie Shang suddenly turned over and pressed one of his long legs on Jiang Fenghua's legs, just touching her ankle.

Jiang Fenghua pushed him but couldn't move him. She said gently, "Prince, you pressed my foot. It hurts. Please let me go. I am not Miss Su. Look carefully. You are hurting me."

Xie Shang was awakened by her cry. He opened his eyes and saw the person in his arms. The scene of him breaking into the room last night flashed in his mind. He felt a splitting headache and couldn't remember what happened after he knocked Jiang Fenghua down. Seeing that his clothes were taken off and the two of them were so ambiguous, he pushed her away. Then, he heard the sound of her crying again. He turned his head and saw the woman curled up weakly on the side, with mist in her eyes, as if she was bullied. As if he had thought of something, he stood up from the bed as if struck by lightning, and instantly sobered up, and began to explain incoherently, "I...we...didn't...why are you crying again? I didn't do anything to you!"

"The prince pressed down on my foot, and I couldn't help crying because it hurt. I'm going to go back home today, and my foot is so injured, I'm afraid my mother will worry." Jiang Fenghua directly proposed to go back home.

Xie Shang felt relieved, saying that nothing had happened between him and her, and she was crying only because her foot was pressed down. He had seen her fragility yesterday, and she couldn't bear the slightest pain. He confirmed again, "I was drunk last night, and I don't remember clearly what my clothes were."

Jiang Fenghua said pitifully, "The prince slept like a pig, and he couldn't wake me up even if I shouted. He held me and kept calling me Wanwan. The prince must have mistaken me for Miss Su. I couldn't take them off even if I tried. I asked the maid to come in and help take off the prince's clothes. The clothes were full of alcohol. The maid took them to wash. In the end, I was too tired to sleep next to the prince."

Her face was full of sincerity, fearing that he would misunderstand, "Don't worry, your highness, we sleep separately and we sleep until dawn. Nothing happened. It's completely harmless." He suddenly said, "I'm sorry." Jiang Fenghua did nothing wrong, but he treated her like this.

She just wanted to make Xie Shang feel guilty, holding his wife and calling another woman's name. "You don't have to say sorry. The prince is a gentleman and didn't do anything out of line." She said softly, "It's just that I have to go back to my parents' home today. My parents will be waiting for me at home..."

Xie Shang seemed to have thought of something. Today was the day he and Wanwan agreed to marry her. He came to talk to Jiang Fenghua about this last night. He promised to go to the Su Mansion to pick up Wanwan.

"Do I have to go back with you to your parents' home?" Xie Shang asked tentatively in a lowered voice. Jiang Fenghua still had tears on her cheeks. "A woman must have a return gift when she gets married. If the husband does not accompany his wife to her parents' home, the woman will not be able to live in the future."

"It's so serious." He didn't quite understand these rules.

"Yes." She nodded heavily, "Your Highness, I said that I will not disturb you and Miss Su. I just want Your Highness to give my Jiang family some respect. I will just take up a little time of Your Highness."

Xie Shang saw her face flushed, "I mean your foot is so injured, it's inconvenient."

"Even if my foot is broken, I have to crawl back." She turned her eyes away from him.

Xie Shang said, "Then let it be!" Why is he still angry?

Jiang Fenghua changed her expression quickly, staring at him blankly, limping to jump in front of him and holding his arm, "Your Highness said that you would accompany me back to the mansion to see my parents. If Your Highness can go, they will definitely be very happy."

Her face was full of tear marks and smiles. Her perfect figure was like a carefully carved work of art. Her snow-white skin was even more charming in the light of the morning sun. He was fascinated for a moment and couldn't help but fall for it.

Xie Shang nodded, "I will go back with you."

Jiang Fenghua flattered him and supported him, "Thank you, Prince."

Then she shouted outside, "Hongxiu, Lianye, Nanny Xu, prepare an extra breakfast and fetch water to prepare for dressing. We are going back to the Jiang Mansion today. I miss my father and mother."

When she talked about going back to the Jiang family to see her parents, her pretty face was full of smiles, her eyes were bright and dazzling, and her whole body revealed that she was very happy, as cheerful as a bird in the forest. As soon as she finished speaking, the maids filed in.

Jiang Fenghua saw that she was only wearing a bellyband and underwear, and her eyes were filled with shyness. She glanced at Xie Shang and quickly hid behind the screen, "Prince, please wash up first, I will be there soon." Behind the screen, her waist-length hair was like a curtain of water, and her beautiful figure was scorching, outlining her perfect figure. Xie Shang was a little stunned. He only reacted when he heard her voice and felt his face flushed.

At this time, Nanny Xu came up and the maid took a few clothes. She said, "Which one does the prince want to wear today?" Xie Shang pointed casually and chose an indigo robe. Nanny Xu nodded to the maid, and the maid quickly stepped back and chose a light blue water sleeve long skirt for Jiang Fenghua. When the two finished washing and appeared in front of each other, they were stunned at the same time.

Jiang Fenghua was wearing a light blue waist-hugging Luo skirt today. The water-colored jasmine lightly bloomed on her sleeves. Her long black hair was tied into an exquisite cloud bun. Her perfect figure was graceful and enchanting. A tassel of the same color fell from her waist, causing ripples in the wind.

Xie Shang was wearing an indigo-blue brocade robe, with silver silk edges embroidered with flowing cloud patterns on the collar and cuffs, a wide brocade belt of the same color tied around his waist, a moon-white jade pendant, his hair tied up with a jade-inlaid silver crown, and black leather boots with gold-thread cloud patterns. He was already handsome, and this outfit further highlighted his extraordinary temperament and graceful appearance.

Nanny Xu's arrangement was also clever. She prepared breakfast for the prince and princess in the pavilion in the garden. When the morning light appeared, wisps of clouds from the sky sprinkled down, and the two people in the courtyard stood like a couple of gods.

Lian Ye brought up the exquisite meal and deliberately passed between the two people, "Prince, Princess, please sit down." His eyes were clearly mesmerized, but he said he didn't like my princess.

Xie Shang quickly avoided his sight and walked straight to the pavilion. He was indeed hungry. He only drank last night, and he didn't eat much of the dinner prepared by the chef. The food on the table exuded a faint fragrance, and his taste buds seemed to be opened. His stomach was empty and he looked even hungrier. He swallowed his saliva

Nanny Xu introduced, "I have prepared steamed osmanthus cake for the princess. The cake is soft and glutinous, and there is also silver thread bird's nest porridge. The porridge is thick but not greasy, silky and smooth, nourishing the body and mind. There is also a small piece of rose pastry. Milk almond pastry is the princess' favorite, and… I have also prepared a portion for the prince."

Xie Shang looked in the direction of Nanny Xu's finger. Each one was very delicate, but there were only two small pieces on each plate. He thought this was an extra portion? Did Jiang Fenghua usually only eat one piece of each food? He slowly sat down.

Jiang Fenghua sat elegantly on the stool and said gently, "Please enjoy your meal, your highness." Then she stopped talking. Xie Shang nodded.

There were small forks, small spoons, chopsticks and soup spoons in front of him. The spoons were cute and pocket-sized. Xie Shang directly picked up the chopsticks that were more convenient for him and started eating.

Jiang Fenghua took a small spoon and chewed slowly. She had to scoop a small piece of cake ten times before she could finish it. But the way she ate was also very beautiful. For some reason, he didn't feel disgusted when he saw her being too meticulous.

An idea suddenly popped up in Xie Shang's mind. It would be at least decent enough for a man to marry a daughter raised in a scholarly family like the Jiang family!

The breakfast took half an hour, and the two did not say a word during the whole process.

In the end, Xie Shang felt that he was not full, but he was embarrassed to say anything. The meals made by the Jiang family were indeed exquisite and delicious, with perfect color, fragrance and taste. People were reluctant to eat more.

The news that the Duke will accompany the Princess to his parents-in-law spread throughout the estate, and housekeeper Cheng hurriedly selected some return gifts from the storeroom.

Xie Shang took a look and asked Cheng Zhong, "Are these the return gifts that's going to be sent to the Jiang Mansion?"

Cheng Zhong said, "Your Highness, yes."

Xie Shang frowned and said, "Is the return important? Should it be grand?"

"Returning is the last ceremony of the wedding, which is very important, especially for the bride's family. As for how important it is, it is difficult to explain in a few words. In short, the son-in-law accompanies his newlywed wife and carries gifts to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law. This is etiquette. Whether the return gift is well done can reflect whether the girl has married well and whether she is valued by the son-in-law. Ordinary people attach great importance to it, and wealthy families care more about respect. However, the prince is of noble status, so there is no need to pay respect to a junior tutor. It is a blessing for their family that the prince can go..." Housekeeper Cheng talked endlessly.

Xie Shang pondered for a moment, and glanced at the return gift prepared by Butler Cheng, "Go to the storehouse and get some more things."

Cheng Zhong had just picked up a few things at random, just for the sake of formality, and it would be fine to get some more according to the princess's specifications.

Just as he was about to leave, Xie Shang said again, "Butler Cheng, have someone ask who are the people in the princess's family, what their interests and hobbies are, and choose a gift for each of them according to their preferences!"
