So that's how it is. I have heard of Concubine Wan. She was a woman from Jiangnan who was taken into the harem by the emperor and gave birth to the third prince Xia Ce.

But I heard that she seemed to be quite Buddhist and had no intention of competing for the throne. She had always been content to stay in a corner of the palace.

She had met Concubine Wan several times. Just as her title suggested, she was gentle and elegant, a typical Jiangnan woman. However, she had never expected that her family would be so arrogant.

"Oh? Concubine Wan? Take me to see her?"

Wu Huanyuan thought that Xia Qingqing was scared when she heard the name of Concubine Wan. It seemed that the princess was just like that. She patted her clothes and stood up.

He looked at Xia Qingqing arrogantly and said, "Okay, then you have to follow closely."

Xia Qingqing nodded with a smile on her face. Wu Huanyuan snorted coldly and turned to go to Concubine Wan's residence. The maids were still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up. Xia Qingqing didn't tell them to get up.

Seeing Wu Huanyuan being so arrogant, Chuntao and Taohua behind him were so angry.

"How dare this man treat the princess like this? He is simply courting death!"

"Don't be impatient, Taohua. Let's see what the princess does first. If the princess does this, she must have her reasons."

Taohua knew it in her heart, but when she saw this man's arrogant look, she got angry.

Xia Qingqing turned around and said softly, "Taohua, you are too impatient. You should learn from Chuntao."

Although Xia Qingqing was usually very gentle and had no airs at all, she could be very scary when she got angry. Although the number of times she got angry was not many, it was enough.

Especially now, her smile was very bright. People who were familiar with her knew that Xia Qingqing was very angry. The two of them often followed Xia Qingqing, so they naturally knew her temper and mourned for Wu Huanyuan in their hearts.

Wu Huanyuan walked for a while and found that Xia Qingqing and the others had not moved yet, so he frowned and said.

"Why don't you guys follow me? Are you afraid to go?"

When she saw Xia Qingqing didn't move at all, she was convinced that Xia Qingqing was just afraid. With such a courage, she was still a princess. It would be better for her to be one.

This time, she looked at Doudou behind Xia Qingqing, and thought viciously in her heart that when she arrived at her aunt's palace, she must let her make the decision and let her deal with the dog. It dared to bite her, so she must beat it to death!

Even if Xia Qingqing didn't listen to her, she knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression. Xia Qingqing couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

Not only did he want to be her princess instead of her, but he also wouldn't let her dog go. She was really angry and she wanted to see if she could survive.

After urging her several times and seeing that Xia Qingqing still didn't move, he finally lost his patience and walked towards her with an angry look on his face.

"Hey, are you going to leave or not? If you don't dare to go, just tell me and I will deal with this dog."

Wu Huanyuan shouted "Hello" to Xia Qingqing without any respect. The kneeling maids were scared to death. Chuntao and Taohua behind her were even more furious. Did they hear it wrong? Did she just say "Hello"?

Xia Qingqing did not show any sign of anger. She just curled the corners of her mouth and said lightly.

"Chuntao, Zhang Zui."

Chuntao couldn't bear it any longer, so she raised her leg and walked towards Wu Huanyuan. Wu Huanyuan was also scared when she saw this, but she still plucked up the courage to speak.

"You, if you touch a hair on my head, my aunt will not let you go!"

"Oh? Really? I'll wait." Xia Qingqing's eyes flashed coldly and she looked at Wu Huanyuan arrogantly.

Taohua saw that she wanted to run, so she went forward and grabbed her. Chuntao couldn't wait any longer and slapped her in the face. Wu Huanyuan couldn't help but scream.

"Ahhhhh!! How dare you touch me, you bunch of slaves, what are you doing kneeling on the ground, can't you see that I'm being beaten? Hurry up..."

Before he could finish his words, Chuntao slapped him again. Blood was slowly oozing from the corner of his mouth, and his face was extremely swollen.

Chuntao used all her strength. If she wasn't swollen, she wouldn't be called Chuntao.

Taohua was watching from the side and felt very happy, even though it was not her who hit the target.

"Stop, stop, what are you doing?!"

A woman wearing a goose yellow skirt and a bun came running over hurriedly. The gold jewels on her body and head almost blinded Xia Qingqing's eyes under the sunlight.

Where did this nouveau riche come from? She brought so much gold with her, as if she wanted to tell others that her family is very rich.

At this time, the woman quickly walked to Wu Huanyuan's side, pushed Chuntao and Taohua away, and exclaimed when she saw Wu Huanyuan's face swollen like a pig's head.

"Who, who on earth dares to hurt my daughter!!"

Xia Qingqing once wondered if she was blind. Didn’t she just dare to push someone away? Now she was yelling here again, like a shrew.

"It's me, what?"

Xia Qingqing said calmly, with a domineering tone in her words. Although the other party was an adult woman, she was actually not weaker in this aspect, and was even stronger!

"You, you, it was you who hit my daughter. Who do you think you are? How dare you hit my daughter? Do you know who our family is? How dare you mess with us? Do you want to die?"

Xia Qingqing was wearing simple clothes because she didn't like wearing heavy clothes and such clothes were more convenient.

The style of her clothes was very simple, which made the woman think that she was a lady from an ordinary family, or even a maid.

They had never been to the capital, so naturally they didn't know what the princess looked like. Although the girl was good-looking, she had never thought of her as a princess.

Xia Qingqing was very close to them, and the woman reached out to pull her over, but fortunately Chuntao reacted quickly enough to prevent her from succeeding.

Taohua simply couldn't stand these few people anymore. She protected Xia Qingqing behind her and shouted angrily with a frown.

"Why, are you more powerful than the princess?!"

Taohua's words made the scene quiet for a moment. Apart from the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, there was Doudou's questioning barking.

After a long moment, the woman looked at them uncertainly, "Princess?"

In fact, I was already panicking in my heart. I didn't expect that the person in front of me was a princess. According to legend, the princess was very much loved by the wasteland.

Before they came in, the master had been telling them to make friends with the princess if possible, but now instead of making friends with her, they've made enemies?

He looked down at his pig-faced daughter and saw her nod. He closed his eyes in despair, and when he opened them again, he no longer had the arrogance he had just had.

She smiled at Xia Qingqing and said, "So it's the princess. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you. I hope the princess will forgive me."
