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

Everyone looked up and saw that the man was five feet tall, dressed in dark green brocade, with thick black hair, a handsome face, large, round eyes that were clear and bright, and his every move revealed the noble air of a royal family.

It was the fifth prince.

A hint of surprise flashed across Princess Yongle's eyes.

"Fifth brother is actually pleading for Miss Shen. Could it be that he knows her?"

Princess Anle narrowed her eyes slightly, clenched her hand holding the handkerchief, and looked at Zhou Lingyi, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The fifth prince lives in the palace. The emperor is very strict with him and he rarely leaves the palace. How could he know Shen Qionghua?

Princess Anle was getting restless.

Originally, when Princess Anle saw that Shen Qionghua had offended Princess Yongle, she still kept aloof.

He thought that although he could not do anything to Shen Qionghua openly due to his brother's plan, it would be a good idea to punish Shen Qionghua through Yongle first. That's why he did not pretend to be a good person and speak for Shen Qionghua. Who knew that the fifth prince would come out to plead for mercy.

Princess Anle was somewhat confused and uncertain.

As someone from the Yongning Marquisate, Shen Qionghua was suspected of having a complicated relationship with Prince Rui, but now he was even linked to the Fifth Prince...

Princess Anle's eyes suddenly widened, and a possibility emerged in her mind: Could it be that the fifth prince also has his eyes on that position?

Princess Anle's heart sank, and then she sneered, thinking that the Fifth Prince was too wishful thinking.

The fifth prince's family background is the lowest among all the princes. Not to mention the family background of his mother and the late queen, even the mothers of his eldest and fourth brothers are girls from official families.

What is Shun Guipin?

His family was so poor that he couldn't even afford food, so his parents sold him into the palace as a slave.

In other words, she was lucky and was assigned to the cold palace, where she met her father who was still in the cold palace. Later, after her father became the crown prince, she was given the status of a concubine in the Eastern Palace.

Even after my father ascended the throne, she was only a minor noble lady. It was only after she gave birth to the fifth imperial brother that she was conferred the title of noble concubine.

With such a humble mother, he still coveted that position and wanted to compete with his second brother?

It’s simply overestimating one’s capabilities!

Princess Anle raised her eyebrows, her expression playful, "Oh? Fifth brother actually knows the young lady from the Yongning Marquis's mansion. How come I didn't know that?"

The Fifth Prince smiled, trying his best to act like a grown-up. He shook his head and said, "I don't know Miss Shen, but I think this matter is not Miss Shen's fault after all. Princess Pingning has pleaded for me. Today is Qiu Mi's first day, so it's always better to be friendly."

"Otherwise, if this gets to Father's ears, it will definitely ruin his interest."

Seeing the Fifth Prince say this, Princess Yongle pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Fifth Prince has said so, I will give you a favor."

Princess Yongle waved her hand as she spoke, and the palace maid who had just had a ferocious look on her face retreated.

Zhou Lingfu's expression froze, her heart filled with anger. It was obvious that the bitch was almost dragged away and beaten with a stick.

If he was beaten with a stick and his reputation was ruined, how would he dare to be so presumptuous in front of me in the future?

But this bitch's luck was so good that the Fifth Prince spoke up and allowed her to escape this disaster.

And what about Princess Yongle?

In the past, people who offended her would never have a good ending. They would either be beaten with a stick or have their faces bruised. Why is she so easy to talk to today?

Having achieved his goal, the Fifth Prince cast a subtle look at Princess Pingning, then said to Princess Yongle, "Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore."

Having said that, he walked out, as if he was just passing by.

Shen Qionghua stood up straight and said to Luo Xiyao gratefully: "Xiyao, thank you for helping me."

Luo Xiyao smiled slightly,

"Why are you being polite? We are friends."

The party continues.

After this little episode, even though Princess Pingning stood next to Shen Qionghua for the rest of the time, few noble ladies approached her, probably because they were concerned about Princess Yongle's attitude.

Shen Qionghua didn't feel anything and was content with the peace and quiet.

After returning to her residence and closing the door, Zhou Lingfu was about to make a few sarcastic remarks when she was slapped on the head.

She touched her face in disbelief, and the pain on her face told her that all this was true.

"How dare you hit me!" Zhou Lingfu said angrily with her eyes wide open.

She had grown up, and even her mother had never touched her face. Including the last time at the Shen's silk shop, she was beaten twice by this lowly merchant girl.

This is simply unreasonable!

She was about to hit back, but Shen Qionghua dodged nimbly, and the slap landed on Zhou Lingyi's face.

There was a crisp "pop" sound.

A bright red five-finger mark appeared on Zhou Lingyi's fair and delicate cheek.

The maids around all gasped.

Zhou Lingyi stood there stupidly, seemingly still not reacting.

"Yi, sister Yi, it's all her fault. She dodged and I accidentally hit you." Zhou Lingfu explained hurriedly.

No matter what, she would not dare to hit Zhou Lingyi. She did not want the Yongning Marquisate to split up so early and wanted to continue to be the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquisate.

Shen Qionghua sneered and raised an eyebrow, "If I don't hide, do you think I can still let you stand and fight me? I'm not as stupid as you."

"You!" Zhou Lingfu was extremely angry.

"I'm telling you, if you dare to do those little tricks again, it won't be as simple as a slap in the face." Shen Qionghua snorted coldly, and went back to the house without caring about Zhou Lingyi who was slapped in the face.

She didn't think Zhou Lingyi was innocent in this, and might even have added fuel to the fire.

After all, Zhou Lingfu, the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquisate who might be separated in the future, was not capable of ordering the maids in the palace to give her Princess Yongle's clothes.

Zhou Lingfu was horrified when she heard Shen Qionghua's words.

What does she mean?

Could it be that she knew it was her doing?

Will she sue herself to Princess Yongle?

But it’s not her fault that this situation happened now. It’s just her bad luck.

She simply bribed the nanny in the embroidery room to give her some clothes that did not comply with the regulations when she went to get the clothes. Then someone would naturally teach her a lesson.

It was her own bad luck that she took Princess Yongle's clothes. Could she be blamed?

Zhou Lingfu said angrily, "Sister Yi, you should persuade your aunt to discipline her properly. She's just a merchant's daughter, and she actually dared to hit me. If you let her go on like this, she'll definitely cause trouble in the future!"

After she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong. Turning around, she found Zhou Lingyi looking at her with a gloomy face, and the slap mark on his face was particularly conspicuous.

Zhou Lingfu smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Yi, I really didn't mean it. Well, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Then he ran back to his room like a gust of wind and closed the door, fearing that Zhou Lingyi would fight back.

Only when the surroundings were completely quiet did Caiwei nervously step forward to support Zhou Lingyi, saying softly, "Miss, are you okay?"

Zhou Lingyi glanced at her coldly.

So what if it’s not good? Can she fight back?

This is in the palace. If this gets out, her reputation will be ruined!
