The first to receive the news was Lady Li, residing in the Pear Blossom Garden, who was the Princess Tang Yuan mentioned earlier by Madam Chi Bi.
Just like the courtyard she lived in, Lady Li, at eighteen, had eyes like spring water, her skin delicate, and every smile and frown carried the elegance of a Jiangnan woman.
But at this moment, Lady Li's face lacked its usual gentle demeanor; she held a Magic Wand in her hand, and her spring-like eyes flashed with hatred.
"I don't know from where this lowly commoner came, claiming to be the Crown Princess Consort."
Lady Li thought herself the Princess of Tang Yuan, marrying Dugu Xiu, so that one day when Dugu Xiu would inherit Hou Qin's throne, she might also become the Empress of Hou Qin, never expecting Donghuang Sheng to appear midway.
