In the Garden of Ten Thousand Flowers, Princess Shun'an sat in the main seat, looking unfriendly at Meng Yunshang, who was sitting below her.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Princess Heng for several years. It's a rare occasion to see her today."

Meng Yunshang seemed not to notice Princess Shunan's dislike for her. She responded in a soothing tone and nonchalantly, "Strictly speaking, this should be the first time I met my aunt."

When she married Lu Chenxiao, Princess Shun'an claimed to be ill and only sent gifts to the palace.

Later, she rarely went to the royal palace to hold banquets, so naturally she did not meet Princess Shunan.

Meng Yunshang was speaking the truth, but to Princess Shunan, it sounded inexplicably provocative.

She just sneered, "It's good to know. As a daughter-in-law of the royal family, you don't even know the most basic rules and etiquette. I don't know what Chen Xiao sees in you."

If what he said just now was a test, then what he said now is a real lack of respect.

Dangui was so angry that she wanted to step forward to protect him, but Danqiu reminded her not to be impulsive.

Acting impulsively under such circumstances would most likely bring disaster to the princess and put her in a passive position.

Dangui was a person who listened to advice, so she quietly returned to her original position.

Meng Yunshang smiled and said, "Aunt, you definitely don't know that my etiquette rules were taught by the Queen Mother herself."

In other words, Princess Shun'an criticized her for not having proper etiquette and was challenging the Queen Mother in public.

Princess Shun'an couldn't possibly take the blame for something like this, so she immediately turned cold and said, "Nonsense, Liuli's talent is the true teaching of the Queen Mother, Meng, you are not even as good as Liuli."

Meng Yunshang was not annoyed and responded with a faint smile.

"My aunt is right. Princess Liuli is good in every way. That's why there is a saying in the capital that 'a family with a daughter is sought after by hundreds of families'."

"You!" Princess Shunan felt like her punch was hitting cotton, and it didn't work at all.

Then she talked about another matter, "As the Princess of Heng, what crime should you be punished for allowing a slave to commit a crime in my palace?"

"What do you mean, aunt?"

Meng Yunshang opened her eyes wide and looked like she had no idea what I was talking about.

Princess Shunan choked slightly. Even a three-year-old child could understand what she said.

But Meng Yunshang played dumb in public!

Are you really going to treat the princess's mansion as her own back garden?

Princess Shunan said more clearly in her angry voice, "I am talking about you asking the maid to break Zhaoyang's wrist."

"But hasn't Master Zuo's wrist recovered? Since there is no damage, it can't be considered as allowing the slave to commit the crime."

"Meng Yunshang, stop playing dumb. We all saw it clearly just now. You instigated the maid to attack the prince. Even if your wrist has been healed, the scar on the prince's face is still obvious."

Wen Liuli, who was sitting opposite, couldn't bear to see Meng Yunshang playing dumb, so she spoke righteously.

"I am discussing family affairs with my aunt. County Lady Wen is so rash to stand up for Master Zuo. Is she going to join the big family of the Princess' Mansion?"

Wen Liuli was startled and quickly denied, "No, I didn't..."

"Oh? Lady Wen doesn't want to join, does she look down on Master Zuo?"

"How could I look down on Master Zuo?"

Wen Liuli was so confused by Meng Yun's palm that she didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to herself.

All she knew was that Princess Shunan was extremely protective of her son, and she could never say anything bad about her son in front of Princess Shunan.

Wen Liuli's brain suddenly twitched, and she blurted out, "The prince is a rare talent, and Liuli admires him very much."

Meng Yunshang nodded calmly, "Even so, County Lady Wen should be more reserved. After all, Yunying is still unmarried."

Although Meng Yunshang's tone was light, the meaning of her words was very impolite.

The first part says "you should be reserved", and the second part says "Yunying is not married".

It was almost as if she, Wen Liuli, was eager to get married.

When had Wen Liuli ever been humiliated like this? She stood up from her seat and stared at Meng Yunshang intently, "Princess Heng, your words are a little too harsh!"

"Zuo Shizi admitted that what happened at the door was a misunderstanding, but Princess Wen deliberately tried to seduce me in front of the princess. Who is more mean? Or, do you need me to tell everyone in detail what happened in Prince Heng's mansion yesterday?"

"You!" Wen Liuli was defeated, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Meng Yunshang seemed to be poisoned.

Princess Shunan shouted at the right time, "Mrs. Meng! This is my flower-viewing banquet, how can you be so presumptuous?"

Meng Yunshang chuckled, "Aunt, what you mean is that you can only call a horse a zebra at your flower viewing party, and you can't even tell the truth?"

Princess Shunan: “!”

"In other words, my aunt and I went to the palace to ask the emperor what crime should be committed by the Zuo Shizi for molesting the princess in public?"

Princess Shunan's expression suddenly changed. "What a sharp tongue! I didn't know that Prince Heng actually married a street shrew."

"Aunt, you are too kind. As everyone knows, I grew up in the border area. I cannot stand seeing dirty things and I am used to speaking my mind. If I make you uncomfortable, please forgive me. Anyway, I can't change my personality in a short time."

"!" Princess Shunan was so angry at her blunt and explicit words that she swayed slightly and clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves.

People from the aristocratic families in the capital always speak in a roundabout way, saying half of what they mean and hiding the other half. They would never be like her, completely disregarding the lives of others and going crazy at any time and anywhere.

But there's nothing we can do to her.

The other people in the garden were stunned.

Everyone knows that Princess Shunan is favored by the royal family. No one has ever dared to disrespect her, let alone bully her in front of so many people.

But Princess Heng not only confronted him, but also did so in a boastful and confident manner.

But they were not the princesses of Prince Heng, and they did not have the support of Prince Heng and the General's Mansion behind them, so they did not dare to act recklessly in front of Princess Shun'an.

They all silently shrank their necks and lowered their presence, fearing that Princess Shunan would get angry in the next second and make them shields.

Just when the whole place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, a laugh broke the awkwardness.

"I've long heard that Princess Heng is outspoken, and today I see that she is indeed the case."

When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw another group of people coming to the garden entrance. The man in the lead was tall and had an outstanding appearance.

Meng Yunshang had good hearing, and she heard one of the noble ladies behind Zuo Youran exclaim, "Oh my God, is it His Royal Highness Prince Yu?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yu would come to the flower viewing banquet, and I thought it was a rumor, but it turns out to be true."

"I didn't expect to see His Royal Highness Prince Yu in the Princess's Mansion. This trip today is not in vain."

"Hey, who is the woman next to him? I haven't seen her before."

Meng Yunshang narrowed her eyes. The noble ladies didn't know the woman around Prince Yu, but she did.

And it's the kind that you can recognize even if it turns into ashes.

Amid the discussion, Prince Yu had already walked up to Princess Shun'an and saluted, "My nephew greets my aunt."

"Please get up quickly," Princess Shun'an held his hand affectionately and greeted him as if no one was around. "You have to stay in Beijing for a few more days when you return this time."

Prince Yu responded with a smile on his face.

At this time, a voice like a yellow oriole sang out of a valley, "My concubine Meng Xueyun greets my aunt, may my aunt be blessed with good health and happiness."

Princess Shun'an glanced at Meng Yunshang meaningfully and asked loudly, "Are you Yuan Jing's new concubine?"
