The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Princess Anle couldn't believe her eyes.

what happened?

Shouldn’t the person who saved the man be Gao Lei, the son of the Minister of Revenue?

Why did it become Shen Qionghua!

Shen Qionghua was wrapped tightly in a cloak, and water kept dripping from her dress as she moved. Her hair stuck to her cheeks, and her bright and rosy face was shining with water, like a lotus flower that had just grown out of a pond.

Hearing this, her long, moist eyelashes trembled slightly, and her clear, bright eyes looked at Princess Anle, wondering, "Princess, if it's not me, then who could it be?"

Princess Anle finally realized she had nearly let the cat out of the bag. A flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and said, "I didn't expect Miss Shen to be such a good swimmer. She was able to rescue Princess Pingning all by herself. I thought it was a servant from the mansion who did it."

"Thank you for the compliment, Princess." Shen Qionghua curled her lips into a smile, her eyes full of surprise at being praised.

Princess Anle: “…”

That's not what she meant...

Just when Princess Anle was feeling angry, a roar of anger was heard.

"Who told you to throw stones at me?"

Gao Lei walked up to Shen Qionghua angrily, and his appearance at this moment scared everyone.

Gao Lei's forehead and left cheek were both swollen and red, with a lump on each. His right eye was bruised with a slight streak of red blood. He covered his mouth with one hand, and blood was flowing out from between his fingers.

The pain made his entire face twisted and hideous, completely unlike his previous image of a graceful young man. It looked like he was about to attack Shen Qionghua in the next second.

"I'm really sorry, sir. Qionghua was forced by the situation to throw stones at you." Shen Qionghua said immediately after seeing this, and her attitude of apology was very sincere.

Gao Lei paused for a moment in his rage, then yelled at Shen Qionghua, "Look at what you've done to me!"

As he said this, he took his hand away. Shen Qionghua almost laughed when he saw it.

Shen Qionghua never knew that the accuracy of his stone throwing was so high that he actually knocked out Gao Lei's teeth. No wonder there was a leak in his voice.

Gao Lei glanced at Princess Anle while feeling the pain. As expected, Princess Anle looked unhappy and was even more angry towards Shen Qionghua.

If she hadn't meddled in other people's business, according to Princess Anle and Prince An's plan, she should have been the one to rescue Princess Pingning.

At this moment, he has already become the county marquis for sure!

Shen Qionghua stood up straight, speaking in a strong and powerful tone, not losing face at all, "Young Master, you are wrong. If I hadn't thrown a stone in time to stop you, would you have jumped down to save Princess Pingning?"

"Men and women should not touch each other. This action may damage the reputation of the princess."

"Besides, the young master had already seen Qionghua running to the edge of the pond to save the princess, but he still planned to jump in. On one side was the princess's reputation, and on the other was her life. Qionghua had no choice but to do this."

After saying this, Shen Qionghua looked at Gao Lei with a puzzled look, and raised the question in her mind: "However, Master, you clearly saw someone saving the princess, so why did you insist on jumping into the pool?"

After these words were spoken, everyone's expressions became a little subtle.

Gao Lei's face turned pale, but he pretended to be calm and said, "I jumped into the pool because I was worried that a girl like you wouldn't have the strength to rescue Princess Pingning."

"Oh, that's a reason." Shen Qionghua said lightly.

The disbelief in his tone was clear.

Some people tried hard to suppress their laughter, secretly cursing that Gao Lei was unlucky. If it weren't for the cousin from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion today, he would have succeeded.

Suddenly a figure rushed forward and punched Gao Lei on his scarred face, causing him to fall to the ground.

Princess Anle exclaimed, "Brother Fu Chen!"

Fu Chen rode on Gao Lei and punched him with both fists, causing Gao Lei to scream in pain.

"Fu Chen, you're crazy!" Gao Lei roared, and then quickly fought back.

The two men started fighting each other in an instant.

"What are you still standing there for? Separate them quickly!" Princess Anle shouted at the servants with a very gloomy face.

He actually cares so much about that bitch Luo Xiyao!

And that loser Gao Lei can't even handle such a small thing!

Only after the two were separated by the servants did Princess Pingning come back to her senses from her shock. An angry blush crept up her slightly pale face, and she walked up to Princess Anle.

"Princess Anle, should you give me an explanation?" Princess Pingning said in a deep voice.

She really didn't expect Anle to use such a despicable method.

She had changed clothes during banquets at the princess's mansion before, and nothing had happened, so she let her guard down.

"What explanation do you want? This was just an accident." Princess Anle said lightly.

"impossible!"

If she hadn't suddenly slipped and lost her balance, how could she have fallen into the pool? There must be something fishy about the steps of the arch bridge!

Princess Pingning winked at her maid, who hurried towards the arch bridge.

He came back soon and said respectfully, "Princess, there is a layer of oil on the steps."

Everyone was in an uproar. Princess Anle frowned and looked at the maid beside her.

"what happened?"

"Princess, maybe the kitchen clerk accidentally spilled some oil while moving the oil drum," said the maid.

"Then let's give Princess Pingning twenty lashes of the cane to let everyone in the kitchen vent her anger." Princess Anle said calmly.

Princess Pingning was obviously dissatisfied, but she also knew that this was in Anle's Princess Mansion. Even if there was any evidence, it would have been cleaned up by Anle's people long ago, so she could only swallow her anger.

After this incident, the Lotus Banquet naturally could not be held and was directly disbanded.

Princess Pingning walked towards Shen Qionghua wrapped in a cloak and bowed earnestly.

"Thank you Miss Shen for saving me today. Xiyao will personally thank Miss Shen in a few days."

Shen Qionghua returned the greeting.

"The princess is in a serious condition. This is what Qionghua should do."

Fu Chen also stepped forward and saluted.

"Thank you, Miss Shen."

Shen Qionghua looked at the man and woman in front of her who were smiling at each other like a pair of strangers, and finally understood why Princess Anle's husband committed suicide less than three days after Princess Pingning's death in the previous life.

-

In the carriage of Yongning Marquis Mansion.

Zhou Lingfu sat across from Shen Qionghua, her eyes filled with uncontrollable jealousy. "You're quite good at climbing the social ladder. You've already hooked up with Princess Pingning the first time you attended a banquet."

This bitch is so lucky. There are so many people at the Lotus Appreciation Banquet today, but she happened to be the one to save Princess Pingning who fell into the water.

Shen Qionghua glanced at her sideways and said sarcastically, "Cousin Fu is trying to get close to me, but unfortunately she doesn't have this kind of luck."

"you!"

Zhou Lingfu was extremely angry, but she didn't dare to treat Shen Qionghua the same way as before.

Now that she has saved Princess Pingning, the princess has said she wants to thank her. She is not like her cousin Zhou Lingfu who has Princess Anle to protect her.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lingfu was so angry that her face turned red.

She had to tolerate Princess Anle and the noble ladies in the capital, but now she even had to tolerate the daughter of a merchant. This was simply too much!

For a moment, the carriage was silent.

Shen Qionghua looked at Zhou Lingyi, who was exceptionally quiet and absent-minded as soon as he got on the car, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
