The abstinent and powerful minister is cold and aloof during the day, but he adores her in his dream

Chapter 322 Don't you dare abandon me after starting something!

Ouyang Zhenzhu secretly rolled her eyes and couldn't help but say, "Bullshit, I don't believe it."

Princess Chang Le rolled up her sleeves and said, "Get me into the carriage, I'll carry you right now."

"No!" Ouyang Zhenzhu shook her head immediately.

She didn't want to fall flat on her face.

Princess Chang Le was displeased by the doubts raised against her, so she dragged her onto the carriage and insisted on demonstrating something.

"Help!" Ouyang Zhenzhu quickly grabbed the carriage shaft, refusing to get on no matter what.

Zhiwan found it amusing and stepped forward to help her out of the predicament.

"Your Highness, I know you are skilled, but Pearl is very heavy, so it's best not to take the risk."

Ouyang Zhenzhu: "..."

Why did those words make her feel so uncomfortable?
How come she's so heavy?

Princess Chang Le glanced at her plump body with a half-smile. "That's true. She's so fat, she's not as light as you. Even if I could pick her up, I'd definitely hurt my back. Never mind."

Ouyang Zhenzhu: "..."

Why did she hear those words? They were so insulting.

"Where am I fat? What kind of looks are those?" She stomped her foot, looking annoyed.

"Crackling..."

While the three were talking, the Chen brothers had already set off firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers instantly drowned out the voices of the three people.

"Miss, son-in-law, Princess Chang Le, Miss Ouyang, please come inside and have a seat." At this moment, Qiao'e came over and invited them inside for tea.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the group entered the Zhi Mansion.

Shuang'er and Granny Fang led their people and then carried the return gifts from the carriage into the Zhi residence.

Zhiwan knew that Princess Changle and Ouyang Zhenzhu had come to the Zhi residence today as her family members to support her. Although the two had not told her in advance, she was very touched by their kindness.

So she decided on the spot to pick out some suitable gifts from the homecoming gifts and give them to the two of them.

Neither of them had intended to accept her gift, but they did not refuse and gladly accepted it.

To make it easier to talk, Zhiwan told Lu Zhan and then led the two of them to the courtyard where she lived before her marriage.

Upon entering the room, Ouyang Zhenzhu collapsed onto the soft couch in a disheveled manner.

"How can you be so lazy?" Princess Chang Le picked her up, pushed her aside, and then sat down on the soft couch herself.

“And what about you? Is your butt that big? Do you need to sit on the whole couch by yourself?” Ouyang Zhenzhu retorted, not to be outdone.

"How dare you!" Princess Chang Le reprimanded, her face darkening.

Ouyang Zhenzhu used to be quite wary of her, but now that they've interacted more often, she's figured out her temper and knows that she's just all talk and no action.

However, Ouyang Zhenzhu still pretended to bow and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. I was just... telling the truth, haha... uh!"

Princess Chang Le pinched the soft flesh on her face hard.

"How could Duan Ling possibly have taken a liking to someone as rude and vulgar as you?"

“Your Highness is mistaken. He should be grateful that I don’t look down on him. Don’t you know who in the whole capital would be willing to marry him except me?” Ouyang Zhenzhu said indignantly. “Ouch, ouch, ouch… Wanwan, come save me!”

Seeing the two bickering and joking, Zhiwan felt that the whole courtyard was full of life.

She walked over with a smile, pulled the two apart, and then sat down between them.

"By the way, Your Highness, isn't the autumn imperial examination coming up soon? How is Young Master Shen's preparation going?" Zhiwan changed the subject.

"Yes, how are your preparations going, your future consort?" Ouyang Zhenzhu put her hand on Zhiwan's shoulder and leaned over to look at Princess Changle.

"So what?" Princess Chang Le said nonchalantly. Zhi Wan continued, "Young Master Shen went to the Autumn Examination for His Highness's sake, right?"

"Really?" Ouyang Zhenzhu's eyes widened.

Zhiwan nodded. "My cousin said that when Young Master Shen was in the army, he had the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination, but he never did. However, after he got together with His Highness, he suddenly decided to participate in the imperial examination. This is obviously for His Highness's sake. Young Master Shen must want to become someone who is worthy of His Highness."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhenzhu immediately joked, "Your Highness, you must treat Consort Shen well in the future."

Princess Chang Le looked at Zhi Wan and sneered, "How do you know so much about your relationship with Shen Longjin? I've never heard him mention it before."

"What relationship could I possibly have with him? But I can tell that he is genuinely kind to Your Highness. Of course, those are just my own guesses. Whether I'm right or not, Your Highness can find out by asking him when you get back later," Zhiwan said with a smile.

Princess Chang Le snorted coldly, glanced at her, and suddenly said, "Do you know why I abducted Shen Longjin to my residence?"

Zhiwan had thought about this problem long ago, and it must be related to her cousin.

She blinked and said calmly, "Of course it's because His Highness took a liking to him that he tried to take him away."

“I think so too. Young Master Shen is so handsome, His Highness must have been attracted to his good looks.” Ouyang Zhenzhu nodded in agreement with a serious expression.

Princess Chang Le paused, then angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"You are!" The two nodded in unison.

Princess Chang Le: "..."

"When does Your Highness plan to marry Young Master Shen? I heard from my cousin that last time at the hunting grounds, Young Master Shen took the lead and shot down the rebel leader, relieving the siege of the hunting grounds. The Emperor praised him highly and originally wanted to reward Young Master Shen, but Young Master Shen refused. It seems that Young Master Shen is determined to take the imperial examinations," Zhiwan continued.

Speaking of this topic, Princess Chang Le felt a little irritated. "Let's talk about it later..."

“Your Highness, you mustn’t abandon me after starting something,” Ouyang Zhenzhu couldn’t help but say.

Princess Chang Le gritted her teeth and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pull out your tongue!"

Although Shen Longjin lived in the princess's residence, her relationship with him was completely innocent.

Ouyang Zhenzhu shrank back in fright, but couldn't help muttering under her breath, "She dares to do it but doesn't dare to admit it."

Princess Chang Le was furious. "I didn't do anything with Shen Longjin, at most, at most..."

"What do you mean the most?" Zhiwan asked curiously.

“Yes, what’s the most?” Ouyang Zhenzhu asked as well.

"At most... we only kissed." Princess Chang Le blushed and said after a long while, feeling aggrieved.

"what?"

"Your Highness, you're really too lame."

Zhiwan and Ouyang Zhenzhu exclaimed in surprise at the same time, staring at her in disbelief.

Princess Chang Le: "..."

She laughed in anger, looking at the two of them with disdain, and said, "Do you think I'm as casual as you two?"

"So, did you kiss Shen Longjin first, or did Shen Longjin kiss you first?"

"Exactly, who kissed whom first?"

The two seemed not to hear what she was saying, and asked curiously.

Princess Chang Le: "..."

She coughed lightly, then suddenly looked at Zhiwan, a half-smile on her face, and said, "By the way, were you satisfied with the gift I had Yuanbao deliver on our wedding night?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhenzhu looked at Zhiwan curiously, "How did it feel? Is Lord Lu amazing?"

Zhiwan had just said too much, so she picked up her teacup to drink some tea.

Upon hearing Ouyang Zhenzhu's question, she immediately spat out a mouthful of tea.

Ouyang Zhenzhu, whose face was splashed with tea: "..."
