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

Princess Anle was furious and was about to stand up from her chair, but a white and delicate hand reached out and held her down.

Concubine Zhou looked at Luo Xiyao, a smile on her lips, but her voice was emotionless.

"Princess Pingning is a rare guest in my Yanxi Palace. Today is your first time here, right? You are about the same age as Anle, so you should come here more often in the future."

Luo Xiyao smiled broadly, revealing her eight pearly teeth: "Every time I enter the palace, I only pay my respects to the Empress. I have indeed never been to the Imperial Concubine's palace."

A fierce look flashed in Concubine Zhou's eyes, but she suppressed it forcefully.

Luo Xiyao seemed unaware of Concubine Zhou's mood and said to Shen Qionghua, "Qionghua, let's not stay in the mansion today. Let's go for a walk on the streets. You haven't been to the capital yet, right? I'll take you there."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Qionghua expectantly.

"This..." Shen Qionghua looked in the direction of Concubine Zhou hesitantly.

Luo Xiyao finally seemed to react and said to Concubine Zhou, who was sitting at the top of the table, "Your Highness, is there anything else you need from Qionghua? If not, can I take her away?"

Very polite question.

He also said to Lin who was standing beside him, "Don't worry, Madam Yongning. I will definitely send her back to the palace safely."

Lin stood aside somewhat awkwardly. Since the imperial concubine didn't say anything, it was neither right for her to answer nor wrong for her to not answer.

I could only angrily wring the handkerchief in my hand, thinking bitterly: How could the relationship between these two people be so good?

There are so many noble ladies in the capital, but Princess Pingning chooses to get involved with Shen Qionghua, a merchant girl. Is she crazy?

Concubine Zhou kept her lips tightly closed, and after a long while, she revealed a stiff smile. "I naturally respect Princess Pingning's wishes. I only asked this girl to come to the palace today because I heard the wife of the Marquis of Yongning mentioned her. Now that we've met, Princess Pingning, please take her away."

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty. Pingning will take his leave now." Luo Xiyao bowed.

"I'll take my leave." Shen Qionghua bowed and was then pulled away from the Yanx Palace by Luo Xiyao.

After leaving the gate of Yanx Palace, Luo Xiyao leaned on Shen Qionghua and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Shen Qionghua asked with some amusement.

Wasn't he quite arrogant just now? He even dared to confront Concubine Zhou directly.

"Didn't I tell you to just call me by my name?" Luo Xiyao rolled her eyes and covered her chest. "You scared me to death just now."

Although Concubine Zhou was smiling, she looked like she wanted to eat someone.

She had no doubt that if her father had not given her enough capital to be arrogant, she would not have been able to leave the Yanx Palace.

It’s all my cousin’s fault. He never thought of good things for her and always made her do things that offend others.

She usually only competes with Anle, so how could she be so stupid as to dance in front of Concubine Zhou? But there is no other way, as her cousin asks her to take Qionghua away from Yanxi Palace by any means.

If she hadn't been more assertive, Concubine Zhou probably wouldn't have called Qionghua out to see her.

Shen Qionghua was obedient and accepted the title.

"Xiyao, why did you suddenly come to the Imperial Concubine's palace to look for me?"

It came just in time.

For some reason, Shen Qionghua thought of the figure riding a horse away from the palace gate.

Sure enough, Luo Xiyao glanced around and lowered her voice and said, "My cousin asked me to come find you. He said he must take you away from Yanxi Palace."

"Why?" Shen Qionghua asked, she thought of Xie Qian'an's weirdness.

Did King Rui know something?

Luo Xiyao shook her head.

"I don't know the reason either."

Her cousin didn't tell her the reason, but only said that time was urgent, and asked her to go to the palace quickly, visit the queen first, and then go to the Yanx Palace.

"Don't worry about it for now, let's leave the palace first."

The two walked hand in hand towards the palace gate.

-

Inside the main hall of Yanxi Palace.

The atmosphere was somewhat quiet.

Concubine Zhou sat at the top with a gloomy look on her face.

Princess Anle pouted and said angrily, "Mother, why are you giving in to that bitch Pingning? She's just a princess, why are you so arrogant? She's almost riding over my head."

Rarely, Concubine Zhou did not try to comfort her daughter's little emotions.

She didn't want to feel so aggrieved. She was a noble concubine and an elder. How could she feel proud when being treated so sarcastic by a little girl?

But she couldn't do anything, she was not an ordinary girl.

That was Princess Pingning, the cousin of Prince Rui. Her father was the Duke of Zhenguo, who had made countless military achievements for the court, commanded a large number of troops, and his title was hereditary. Even the emperor had to summon Princess Pingning from time to time.

And she said it so vaguely, what can I do?

Is it possible to have someone beat her up?

I'm afraid that before we take any action, the emperor will come as soon as he hears the news.

Concubine Zhou glanced at Lin's mother and daughter, feeling a little angry.

If her family was more powerful than the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she could naturally do whatever she wanted. Unfortunately, her family still had to rely on her for support.

When Concubine Zhou thought about how she had been trembling with fear and walking on thin ice in the palace for so many years, she felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

Lin felt a little uneasy when she saw Concubine Zhou's look, and secretly cursed Shen Qionghua for causing trouble.

If he went into the palace, he would not only make the imperial concubine unhappy, but also implicate himself.

She said awkwardly, "Your Highness, calm down. That girl comes from a merchant family and has no manners. Please don't get angry with her. It will only hurt your health if you get angry."

Zhou Lingyi also said, "Yes, aunt, it's not worth it if you get yourself hurt by anger."

Concubine Zhou held her breath, calmed herself down, and when she spoke again, she no longer looked as furious as before.

"That girl has a good relationship with Ping Ning?"

Lin hesitated for a moment and looked at her daughter.

Zhou Lingyi pondered for a moment and said, "We only met once after the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, but I sounded out her reaction after we came back, and she said we got along well. Princess Pingning even invited her to visit the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion more often in the future."

After saying that, the hall fell into silence again.

Concubine Zhou looked forward, but her gaze was not focused on the real thing. She was thinking about Zhou Lingyi's words in her mind.

Pingning, that girl, has always been arrogant and doesn't take the noble ladies in the capital seriously.

She even looked down on her Anle and opposed her in every way. How could she get involved with that lowly girl from the Shen family who came from a merchant family?

Suddenly, Concubine Zhou's eyes widened.

Could it be that Prince Rui also took a fancy to the Shen family's wealth behind Shen Qionghua, which is why he let Pingning, that girl, lower herself to associate with him?

Concubine Zhou's well-maintained face twisted, and she felt that she had guessed the truth.

No, she must not let that little bastard Prince Rui succeed!
