I am not in good condition today so I won't update yet. I will replace this chapter tomorrow.

"Where did the prince spend the night last night?"
"Is there any need to ask? Of course it's the study."
"Ever since the princess came to the house, the prince has been to the study every day."
"In the past, the prince would visit the sisters' courtyards, but now he just goes out to have fun every day and doesn't even come back to the palace. I haven't seen the prince for two days..."
"It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, the prince wouldn't be like this."
"..."
Through the door, Duanmu Liuyun could imagine the look of the woman standing at the door. Not only was he woken up by this group of women early in the morning, but they also stood at his door and scolded him for an hour... This kind of thing has never happened in Duanmu Mansion.
Father Duanmu Han said that this was against the rules.
But now that I’m married into Prince Ling’s Mansion, I’m not allowed to manage the rules of this mansion for the time being.
Before I got married, my father said that Prince Ling had no concubines or concubines, only a few maids, and that as long as I married, I would be the Princess of Ling and half the owner of the Prince Ling's mansion. But now... Duanmu Liuyun hesitated as she listened to the increasingly harsh words outside the door.
Even a concubine dares to say such words to the princess. Is this the rule of Prince Ling's mansion?
"It's already noon, isn't the princess still awake?"
"Aren't the two maids who help with washing still standing outside the door waiting for you? They must not have gotten up yet."
"This is really shameless. You are not afraid that it will get out and bring disgrace to our Lingwang Mansion."
"Tsk, the most beautiful woman in the capital also didn't get up at this time when she was in Duanmu Mansion? That's really a strange story in the capital."
"So what if she's the most beautiful woman in the capital? She's been married for so long and she can't even touch the edge of our prince's clothes?"
"What do you mean the most beautiful woman in the capital? I think she is more like the most beautiful vase in the capital."
"... "
I couldn't even touch a corner of Prince Ling's clothes... I was angry, but what they said was indeed true. Duanmu Liuyun's eyebrows drooped slightly, and she counted the seven days since she got married.
During these seven days, let alone touching the corner of Sima Ling's clothes, he hadn't even seen him a few times.
Duanmu Liuyun turned and walked towards the bronze mirror. The person in the mirror had soft hands, creamy skin, a graceful figure, bright eyes and white teeth. He was much more beautiful than those women outside the door who were wearing makeup! Why didn't Sima Ling even look at him?
Outside the door, Sima Ling's concubines did not hear Duanmu Liuyun's response. Perhaps they felt that there was no point in cursing at the door, so they left after saying a few unpleasant words.
Before leaving, she said, "I'll come visit my sister tomorrow." Duanmu Liuyun's hair was so angry that it was about to fall off.
The rules of Prince Ling's Mansion are that there are no rules. The whole capital knows that the most incompetent prince who has nothing to do with the throne is the Sixth Prince Ling. He does not marry a concubine and spends his days in Xiaoyao Tower.
If he takes a fancy to a girl in Xiaoyao Tower one day, he will redeem her and bring her home as a concubine... In the capital, there is no prince more incompetent than the Sixth Prince.
If there is anything good about the Sixth Prince, it is that he is so handsome. At first, Duanmu Liuyun was very disgusted with his father's words "You must marry whoever I tell you to marry", but when he heard the three words "Sima Ling" from his father's mouth, Duanmu Liuyun agreed without hesitation.
To put it bluntly, marrying this romantic vase is nothing more than being attracted by his face...
However, since marrying into Prince Ling's Mansion, Duanmu Liuyun has not seen Sima Ling except for the wedding night when she saw his departing back through the veil.
Duanmu Liuyun, the most beautiful woman in the capital, and Sima Ling, the most handsome man in the capital. They were meant to be a match made in heaven! Duanmu Liuyun couldn't let her husband's face be held in the palm of her hand by a woman outside. Besides, her father also said that men and women should be honest with each other since they are married. He decided to go out and look for Sima Ling. He wanted to see what his husband was doing outside when he was not at home.
Since he was going out, Duanmu Liuyun almost didn't dare to use rouge and powder. Using these things from Prince Ling's Mansion on his body would only expose his identity.
There were also clothes. Duanmu Liuyun opened the box and found several men's clothes at the bottom. He did not rush to change into them, but picked out a piece of men's clothing that made him look clean and warm, packed it up and took it with him.
Sima Ling was not there, Duanmu Liuyun did not establish his authority, and the servants in Prince Ling's mansion were very lazy. Duanmu Liuyun easily avoided the servants in the mansion and left the mansion.
Not far from the gate of the mansion, a carriage from the Duanmu Mansion came to pick them up. The driver was a middle-aged man named Chen Zhong. From childhood to adulthood, Duanmu Liuyun had been taken care of by Chen Zhong, except for his father Duanmu Han.
Duanmu Liuyun got on the carriage, and his anxiety and dissatisfaction were revealed: "Prince Ling hasn't been home recently, do you know where he went?"
Uncle Chen was obviously more aware of the news outside. Chen Zhong coughed lightly and said, "Miss, please speak in a lower voice. There are many people outside and it's hard to tell if someone hears it."
Duanmu Liuyun is not only the most beautiful woman in the capital, but also has the most beautiful voice in the capital. She is very recognizable and can be easily recognized by others if she makes a loud noise.
In addition, as she is now Princess Ling, going out without permission would indeed cause quite a stir.
Duanmu Liuyun himself soon realized this. He lowered his voice and although it was still a woman's voice, it was completely different from before: "I know. Where did you say he went first?"
Chen Zhong has been taking care of Duanmu Liuyun for many years and is accustomed to the changes in Duanmu Liuyun's voice, so he doesn't find it strange.
"Xiaoyao Tower, isn't he drinking wine in Xiaoyao Tower all day long?" Uncle Chen sighed, holding the reins of the carriage to control the direction, turning to a small road with few people. "Where are you going, young lady?"
"Send me to Xiaoyao Tower." Xiaoyao Tower is a famous place in the capital. Duanmu Liuyun has never been there, but he has heard about how beautiful the girls in Xiaoyao Tower are and how talented and beautiful they are.
Duanmu Liuyun couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of Sima Ling's life of debauchery. As the most beautiful woman in the capital and the noble daughter of the prime minister, how could she not be as good as the actress in Xiaoyao Tower?
Uncle Chen chuckled, and the carriage slowed down. "Did Miss get bullied in Prince Ling's Mansion? Women are not allowed to enter Xiaoyao Tower."
Duanmu Liuyun didn't want to say more about Ling Wangfu's concubine, it was too embarrassing. After all, she was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If she told Duanmu Han about the little things, it would make her look too incompetent.
Duanmu Liuyun took the initiative to ignore the first half of Chen Zhong's words, patted the men's clothes he brought with him and said, "Don't worry, I can go in."
Uncle Chen drove very steadily and soon stopped in front of an inconspicuous clothing store in Beijing. Duanmu Liuyun got out of the car with his face covered by a hat and went into the store with the packed men's clothing.
This shop belongs to the Duanmu Mansion. Duanmu Liuyun didn't know why Duanmu Han opened such a shop. It was just that when he went out occasionally, he would stop in this shop to change into men's clothes when necessary. It was quite convenient.
