Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

The affection between Shen Wanqing and Du Zhijie directly hurt Princess Suyun's eyes. She hated Shen Wanqing in her heart. How could she, a princess, not be favored by a mere warrior? This woman was just pretty, but in terms of identity and status, she could not be compared with herself.

Su Yun became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, so she stepped forward and bumped into Shen Wanqing, causing the embroidered handkerchief in Shen Wanqing's hand to fall off.

Shen Wanqing frowned and was about to bend down to pick it up, but Du Zhijie picked up the handkerchief first, dusted it off, and handed it to her.

"Princess, you bumped into someone, and you want to leave without even saying sorry? Is this the etiquette of Ziluo Country?" A sharp male voice rang out. Du Zhijie stood in front of Shen Wanqing, looked her up and down, and said softly, "Qing'er, are you okay?"

The huge difference in attitude before and after surprised everyone around.

The person who was speaking softly turned out to be the Major General Du who killed people without blinking an eye on the battlefield?

Princess Suyun was startled by the scolding voice and secretly surprised to see Du Zhijie standing in front of Shen Wanqing. She walked over with a smile, her big, watery eyes on her cute, childish face revealing an apologetic look. "General, I didn't realize I bumped into this young lady. I thought it was some blind palace maid. I'm so sorry."

She pouted, her round baby face was rosy, and her voice was very soft, as if she had really made an unintentional mistake.

But her so-called apology actually secretly demoted Shen Wanqing to a palace maid. It was obvious that she was not as innocent as she appeared.

Princess Suyun turned around and gave Shen Wanqing a provocative smile from an angle that Du Zhijie couldn't see.

In the past, whenever she acted like this, no one, whether it was her father, brother, or any strange man, would have the heart to blame her.

"Miss Shen, you don't mind, do you?" Suyun said pitifully.

"I mind." Shen Wanqing said indifferently, "It's me today, so it's considered Princess's good luck. If Princess bumps into some other lady someday and mistakes her for a palace maid, it will be bad."

Seeing Princess Suyun's shocked and angry expression, Shen Wanqing smiled lightly and added, "You are a noble princess, and your every word and action represents the Zi Luo Kingdom. If it's just your eyesight that's bad, you can still call the imperial physician to treat you. But if people misunderstand that the princess is dissatisfied and deliberately causing trouble, it will inevitably doubt the Zi Luo Kingdom's sincerity in negotiating peace, which would be bad."

What a joke! They are bullying me directly. If I really back down, I will definitely be ridiculed by all the noble ladies in Kyoto.

Princess Suyun was speechless after hearing what Shen Wanqing said. She habitually reached for her waist, but then she remembered that she was not allowed to carry a whip in the palace. She was so angry that her pretty face was distorted.

So, she could only put on an aggrieved expression and looked at Du Zhijie: "General, Miss Shen is too petty. I just bumped into her, but she's making a fuss about it."

Du Zhijie's face was icy: "Princess, there is no need to speak to me. It is Miss Shen to whom you should apologize."

Suyun's face suddenly turned pale. This Du Zhijie was really blind. He could ignore such a cute girl.

But she also knew that Du Zhijie was not easy to mess with, so she could only say sorry angrily and then left with her entourage.

The eldest prince Fan Yunfei in front watched all this with great interest, and did not even come forward to speak for Su Yun from beginning to end. It seemed that there was no harmony within the Zi Luo royal family.

Du Zhijie still needed to discuss the details of peace between the two countries with the Second Prince, so he naturally couldn't stay long. He looked at Shen Wanqing and saw her wink to indicate that it was okay. He thought she was so cute and his heart was filled with indescribable joy. He turned around and left first.

Shen Wanqing also wanted to return home, but Xuanyuan Qiaoer suddenly came over.

"Fourth sister, that princess doesn't look like a good person. She will definitely hold a grudge against me for what happened today. You should stay away from her when you see her in the future."

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Qiao'er would come to remind her at this time. Shen Wanqing was stunned for only a moment, then nodded with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you. We must be careful of that princess in the future."

Shen Wanqing made a funny face at Princess Suyun who was leaving. So what if she was a princess? This was not the royal family of her Zi Luo Kingdom, not a place where she could do whatever she wanted.

The two smiled at each other, and could see genuine joy in each other's eyes.

"Fourth sister, I'll ask you out next time, and then we can go to the street to eat all kinds of delicious food. I haven't been to Zuimenglou for a long time. The milk tea there is really delicious."

Xuanyuan Qiao'er had endless things to talk about when it came to food; she was truly a foodie. The two chatted for a while as they walked, then boarded their carriages at the palace gates and waved goodbye.

After Shen Wanqing returned home, she asked Linglong to go to Zuimenglou to find out the specific situation of the people from Zi Luo Country.

Unexpectedly, in the next two days, rumors spread like wildfire, saying that the little princess Suye of Zi Luo Kingdom was about to marry Major General Du Zhijie.

Jing'er frowned. Doesn't General Du like his own young lady? He has put so much effort into marrying her, and they even paid the betrothal gift a few days ago. How come a little princess suddenly appeared?

Tao'er was even more angry. "Miss, you don't know that princess. She is so shameless. She runs to the general's mansion early every morning. Wherever the young general goes, she wants to go. She keeps pestering him. How can she be like that?"

Shen Wanqing sighed. She understood how difficult it was for Du Zhijie, and she also believed that Du Zhijie had no second thoughts about her.

After all, she is a princess visiting from a foreign country. Even if you are not happy in your heart, you should at least receive her politely on the surface and avoid giving rise to gossip.

Jing'er asked worriedly, "Is the little princess really so difficult?"

Tao'er nodded vigorously. "I went outside to ask around, and those people were talking as if they had seen it with their own eyes. They said General Du took the little princess shopping and buying snacks, and then went on horseback riding to the suburbs for an outing. Some even said it was even more exaggerated. They said General Du saw the little princess about to be hit by a carriage and hugged her in his arms!"

"What!" Jing'er exclaimed, "They've had physical contact. Does that mean the little princess is really going to marry General Du?"

Tao'er pouted: "The little princess doesn't care about these things. She has actually implicated General Du's innocence."

Jing'er felt both angry and amused when she heard Tao'er say that. She couldn't help but look at Shen Wanqing and swallowed the worry on her lips. What should our young lady do then?

Shen Wanqing's face was a little gloomy. She believed in Du Zhijie's character.

If Du Zhijie was so easily attracted to her, he would not have stayed with her even when her reputation was ruined in her previous life. In this life, he went even further for her.
