Murong Xuan could only vent her anger at the noble ladies surrounding her, "You are really great. You hide all the good things and buy them for yourselves without telling me!"

Shangguan Qing sneered. This is only possible with a princess. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died countless times with such a brain.

Seeing this, Wang Bingbing hurriedly explained, "Princess, that's not the case. This is jewelry that was newly released by Treasure House the day before yesterday. Even if it was released the day after you bought it, we couldn't tell you!"

Seeing this, Murong Xuan had no reason to blame others, but the people around her could not forgive her. They pushed Jiang Yiyi away and said, "Cousin, you didn't even tell this princess?"

Jiang Yiyi just wanted to ask why I told you, and why my family has to pay for it?

But at this moment, she was smiling, "Princess, don't be angry, don't let anyone instigate you. Since you like it, Yiyi will give it all to you!"

After saying that, Jiang Yiyi took off the tassel hairpin inlaid with yellow gemstones on her head and gave it to Murong Xuan.

Shangguan Qing stared at the hairpin and laughed like crazy. Wasn't this something he had taken out? He didn't know how much money he had earned from it.

At this time, everyone also saw that Jiang Yiyi was wearing a beige pleated fairy dress with butterflies embroidered with gold silk thread, paired with a hairpin of the same color. She looked very beautiful and charming when she walked!

Now that the hairpin is gone, it is obviously a bit dull, and many people feel regretful. However, Murong Xuan doesn't care about that, she just takes it and puts it on her head!

She originally had a set of gold tassel headpiece on her head, which was quite lively and playful. Now with this yellow gem tassel hairpin, it seemed cumbersome and redundant. However, many noble ladies praised it, making Murong Xuan feel even more superior.

Murong Xuan was very satisfied, and she looked at Jiang Yiyi with a lot more favor. She said happily, "My cousin really knows how to love me."

Shangguan Qing knew that Jiang Yiyi was definitely not that simple. Who would believe that he would give the hairpin he bought at a high price to the princess without any purpose?

As expected, she spoke, "Princess, this person does not take you seriously and despises you. This is truly a crime that cannot be forgiven!"

Murong Xuan nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I must teach her a lesson today!"

Shangguan Qing sneered and said, "Princess, it seems you don't have that power, right?"

This sentence completely infuriated Murong Xuan, and she said even more angrily, "Today I will let you know whether I have the power to do so!"

After saying that, she slapped him without hesitation.

However, what she didn't expect was that the slap was easily blocked by Lightning, and he pushed her hard, knocking her to the ground.

Murong Xuan almost collapsed because this was the first time she was pushed down, and she was pushed down by a maid on her own territory.

She was so angry that she was shaking all over and roared, "You...how dare you! I'm going to tell my mother and let her punish you!"

At this time, Shangguan Qing stood up with a smile and said, "Princess, you can't beat someone and you call them mom and dad. Isn't that too rude?"

Murong Xuan really didn't expect someone to openly provoke her, and was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Yiyi, who was standing beside him, seemed to have caught something wrong and suddenly shouted, "Who are you? How dare you attack the princess? The princess is the emperor's only daughter, and she has been spoiled since she was a child. How could she let you bully her like this? You are defying the imperial power."

This was to prove Shangguan Qing's crime of bullying the princess and defying the imperial power.

Shangguan Qing also knew Jiang Yiyi's purpose. It had to be said that it was really clever. However, the princess was really stupid. She was being used as a gun without even realizing it.

The noble ladies around also echoed it. Shangguan Qingcheng, who was hiding in the corner, silently curled up the corners of her mouth and watched the joke.

Shangguan Qing looked at the people around him. Apart from Shangguan Qingcheng in the corner, there was also Li Baoer, the daughter of General Dingyuan. She sat still in her seat, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with her.

Shangguan Qing's lips curled up in disdain as he sneered at the crowd, "How ridiculous! You're all just flatterers, sucking up to me. Since I said that about the princess, I must have my reasons. You blindly follow suit without understanding the situation. It's truly boring."

When the noble ladies heard this, they were immediately furious and pointed at Shangguan Qing and scolded him, "Even if you have any reason, you must not be rude to the princess!"

Just as everyone was arguing, a eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "The Empress has arrived, the Empress Liang has arrived, the Empress Hui has arrived, and the Empress Jing has arrived."

Shangguan Qing sneered, thinking that his brilliant appearance later might surprise everyone present.

At this moment, everyone knelt down and saluted to welcome the arrival of the Queen and others, but Shangguan Qing was the only one who still stood upright.

Seeing this, the Queen frowned slightly and raised her hand to signal everyone to stand up. Then she looked sharply at Shangguan Qing, who stood upright, and asked sternly, "Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Before Shangguan Qing could speak, Jiang Yiyi beside him couldn't wait to recount what had just happened, adding more details.

The Queen was furious upon hearing this and sternly said, "No matter who you are, you must kneel before me. Whose daughter are you? How can you be so unruly?"

Shangguan Qing sneered. Is this to seek justice for his daughter?

Haha, but she is destined to regret it because her whole family is her enemy.

Shangguan Qing stood straight, seemingly ignoring the Queen's anger, and said calmly, "I don't kneel for a reason!"

The Queen had been in the palace for many years and had witnessed too many intrigues and deceptions. She was obviously surprised by such straightforward words and knew that this matter must be no simple matter.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, regained her composure, and calmly sat down at the head of the table. "In that case, let's lift the veil and let everyone see who has such power."

Zhixia stepped forward slowly and spoke in a clear voice, "My young lady is the future Princess Regent. Because her wedding is imminent, she wears a veil to cover her face to avoid encountering the Regent and violating taboos."

Shangguan Qing was a little confused. What was going on? When had he ever been afraid of breaking a taboo? What other taboos were there?

At this time, someone in the crowd spoke up, "So it's the Regent Princess. If that's the case, it makes sense for her to wear a veil. After all, it's not appropriate to see each other before the wedding."

Shangguan Qing only then realized that there was such a rule, but he clearly met Murong Bai every day.

Outsiders naturally didn't know what Shangguan Qing was thinking and were still discussing it.

It was unclear whether the Queen didn't believe it or didn't want to believe it, so she said in a dignified tone, "Regent Princess? Are you kidding? Everyone knows what my daughter-in-law who was broken off the engagement looks like."
