After finishing the business, the palace maid escorted Feng Qingluan out of Kunning Palace. When passing by the garden, two girls dressed in silk and satin came towards them.

Two girls were chatting and laughing. One of them saw Feng Qingluan and her smile froze on her face. Then she showed a sarcastic look and bumped into the pink-dressed girl next to her, "Princess Zhaoyang, who do you think that is?"

When Xie Ying heard her friend talking, she looked towards Feng Qingluan, and her smiling face, which had been bright and cheerful just now, suddenly turned cold.

"Hey, isn't this the Princess of Chu? We can meet here too."

She glanced in the direction Feng Qingluan was coming from and said in a sarcastic tone:

"It looks like she came from Kunning Palace, sister-in-law. This is what you did wrong. You came to the palace but didn't pay your respects to mother. Instead, you ran to the Queen's Palace. What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with mother? Do you think the Queen is your mother?"

Xie Ying had a pretty face, elegant looks, tall eyebrows and eyes, and she had the air of an emperor or a noble. However, she was also arrogant and domineering, and her tone was full of hostility. She did not take Feng Qingluan seriously at all.

She was none other than Xie Yan's younger sister, the Sixth Princess Xie Ying.

Standing next to her was Di Manli, the daughter of General Zhennan.

Di Manli has always admired the King of Chu. As a good friend of Xie Ying, Xie Ying hopes that Di Manli will become her sister-in-law. However, Xie Yan and Feng Qingluan had a marriage granted by the previous emperor, and the position of the King of Chu's principal wife could not fall to Di Manli. The two had already discussed that after the King of Chu married Feng Qingluan and had a principal wife, Xie Ying would ask her mother to give Di Manli to her brother as a concubine, who would also be her sister-in-law.

What the two did not expect was that the King of Chu married Feng Qingluan and brought his cousin along. Feng Shuyao also moved into the King of Chu's mansion and became the Emperor's favorite concubine. This made the two of them hate the two sisters at the same time.

Today, when Feng Qingluan came out of Kunning Palace and was disrespectful to her mother, Princess Zhaoyang took the initiative to attack her and wanted to hold on to this point.

Feng Qingluan realized that these two people had come with ill intentions. She didn't want to waste time, so she turned and walked in another direction.

How could Princess Zhaoyang let her go? She winked at the palace maids behind her, and they all ran up to block Feng Qingluan's way. She walked slowly towards Feng Qingluan.

"Where are you going, sister-in-law? It's really rude of you to not even say hello to your husband's sister when you see her."

Di Manli also walked over and said sarcastically:

"I heard that the cousin who came with you into the palace, her mother insulted you in the street, saying that you were ungrateful and disregarded family affection. Princess Chu felt ashamed and speechless in front of others, so she avoided us? His Royal Highness the King of Chu is so unlucky to marry you!"

She was full of aggression and it seemed that she was not going to let her go easily. Feng Qingluan turned around:

"Miss Di, why do you sound so sour and smelly? Back then, you knew Xie Yan was engaged, but you chased him around and sent him gifts just to meet him, like a dog chasing him. He didn't even look at you, let alone marry you. He would rather take my cousin as a concubine than take you, the daughter of a great general, into the palace. How shameless was Miss Di at that time? You don't feel ashamed of yourself, so why should I feel ashamed?"

The original owner liked Xie Yan. Although she also chased after Xie Yan and was a bootlicker, Xie Yan was engaged to the late emperor, so it was understandable for a fiancée to chase a fiancé.

Di Manli was different. She was a bootlicker who ended up with nothing. Compared to him, she was even more shameful. After being ridiculed by Feng Qingluan, Di Manli's face turned pale. She rushed to Feng Qingluan in two or three steps and slapped her in the face!

Di Manli was born into a family of military generals and had practiced martial arts since childhood. She thought she was fast enough to hit Feng Qingluan, a weak woman, with a slap that would surely hit her hard in the face.

What she didn't expect was that Feng Qingluan raised her hand and grabbed her wrist, then kicked her in the abdomen faster than she was, kicking her back to her original position.

Di Manli fell to the ground with a thud, and Xie Ying and the palace maids were terrified.

"Manli!"

"Miss!"

Di Manli suffered a severe blow to the abdomen. She grimaced in pain and felt like her intestines were churning in her stomach. It took a while for her to get over the pain.

"Feng Qingluan, you are so brave! How dare you beat Manli in the palace!" Xie Ying pointed at Feng Qingluan and cursed.

Feng Qingluan crossed her arms over her chest and walked towards her calmly with a mocking smile on her face:

"And you, Princess Zhaoyang, who claims to be the most beloved princess of your father, even though you are of noble status, what kind of man do you like?

"The young master Fan Yi from the Shangshu Mansion you like appears to be handsome and well-dressed, but in fact I have seen him visiting the Xinghua Tower many times. This Xinghua Tower is the largest brothel in the capital. The princess likes him, but he has never looked at you twice. He would rather spend money to find a prostitute than stay with you, the noble princess. What is the reason?"

Feng Qingluan's words made Xie Ying blush, and she angrily retorted:

"Master Fan is not the kind of person you said he was. He is as gentle as jade, handsome, and not the kind of person you said would visit a brothel!"

She pointed at Feng Qingluan and tried her best to defend Fan Yilai to save her own face.

Feng Qingluan spread her hands, "Really? If you don't believe me, just go to Xinghualou and ask and you'll know. Instead of picking on me here, why don't you sharpen your eyes? Why do you have to pick on dung among the scum?"

Feng Qingluan's words hit Xie Ying's sore spot.

Fan Yi looks righteous, but he would secretly take advantage of any girl he liked and bribe her with money. To outsiders, he seems to be a clean and upright gentleman, but in fact, he is a dirty person at heart.

She originally wanted to take the opportunity to mock Feng Qingluan, but she didn't expect to be speechless because of what she said. Di Manli was a person with a bad temper. Seeing that both she and Xie Ying had suffered at the hands of Feng Qingluan, she kicked her hind legs and rushed towards Feng Qingluan with murderous light in her eyes!

Feng Qingluan clenched her fist and was about to fight with her when a haughty female voice came:

"Zhaoyang, what are you doing?"

Di Manli's eyes paused, and she stopped and looked towards the sound.

A woman in exquisite clothes came over surrounded by a group of palace maids. Ru Fei swept her arrogant eyes over the people present and fell on Feng Qingluan.

"Princess Chu, what did you do to displease Zhaoyang and Miss Di? This is in the palace, you are too presumptuous!"

Feng Qingluan thought that Concubine Ru showed up to stop the conflict, but she didn't expect that she would indiscriminately push all the responsibilities onto herself. It was obvious that she didn't come to settle the matter, but instead seemed to be here to help Xie Ying and Di Manli.

As expected, Xie Ying saw Concubine Ru, wiped her eyes and trotted over to complain to her: "Mother, look at Feng Qingluan, she is bullying me, you have to stand up for me, woo woo..."
