The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Although Jing Anle knew there was a garden in the backyard, it was so remote that he had never been inside.

Upon arriving at the garden entrance, one sees an arched gate, entwined with vines and covered by foliage, through which the words "Ruiyuan" can be faintly discerned. Although it was a cloudy day, and it was nearly noon, a chill permeated the air, sending shivers down one's spine.

Looking from the outside in, the ground was covered with withered leaves, and the place was dilapidated, clearly having been abandoned for a long time. But it wouldn't be good if someone saw him if he stayed at the entrance, so Jing Anle still stepped out and entered the garden.

【Ruiyuan】is square in shape. Except for the side where you enter, the other three sides are all houses, which are also overgrown with vines and are in a complicated way. There is a stone table and stone benches in the courtyard. She thought that she would just sit here and if anyone came, she would just say that she had gone the wrong way. So she covered the bench with her handkerchief and sat down.

Jing Anle was waiting; she was seizing the opportunity to be the one who stalked the cicada.

Just then, Jing Anle heard the creaking sound of her footsteps on the tree branch. She turned around and met a pair of bewitching eyes.

Those eyes belonged to a fair-skinned, slender young man. He was completely different from the Jing Kingdom's preference for robust, dark-skinned men. He had a high, straight nose and was too refined. If he were dressed as a woman, he would definitely be a beauty. But now, dressed as a man, he had a certain charm.

"Who are you?" Jing Anle asked, sitting down, her tone cold and her voice carrying a sense of oppression.

The young man curled the corners of his lips and bowed, saying, "My name is Xie Bailing, and my father is Xie Shikai, a Grand Master of the Palace. I was unaware that you were here, young lady. I apologize for disturbing you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhongyi Dafu? He's just a fourth-rank idle civil official. Prince Qing has such a big face that officials of all ranks have to come and celebrate his birthday.

"stop!"

Jing Anle spoke up, saying that she needed a witness at this moment.

Xie Bailing stopped in his tracks. He knew that the person in front of him was either rich or noble, and asked, "May I ask what advice you may give me, young lady?"

"Would you like to ask the young master for a favor?"

In fact, Xie Bailing knew Jing Anle's true identity the moment he saw her. Just based on that phoenix hairpin, it was not something an ordinary person could wear.

"I wonder what I can do for you, young lady?"

Jing Anle gently curled the corners of her lips and began to speak.

……

In the wing room.

At this point, the crowd had already started discussing it.

"I never imagined the princess would do something like this!"

"The royal family's dignity has been completely destroyed!"

Where there is discussion, there are naturally those who dare not speak.

Murong Peifeng was extremely anxious. He was about to explain when he heard a voice ask, "What happened?"

The person who came was Jing Rou's mother, Princess Ji Shuting of the Prince Qing's Mansion. She had been entertaining noble ladies and only came over when the time was right. Naturally, she was aware of this matter.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" the noble ladies greeted in unison.

The princess nodded and said, "Get up, everyone!"

The princess looked at Murong Peifeng, her eyebrows furrowing instantly. She was just as puzzled as Jing Rou. According to the plan, Murong Peifeng should be in bed right now.

“Mother, I’m afraid Prince Murong got drunk and went to the wrong room, that’s why…” Jing Rou said. Since things had come to this, she could only change her tune. Even so, Jing Anle’s reputation would be ruined.

Upon hearing this, the princess immediately understood that something had changed, and feigned confusion, asking, "Who is that person on the bed?"

"Princess Anle is drunk and unwell today. This is the room I prepared for her..." Jing Rou stopped mid-sentence, glancing at the figure on the bed. Now everyone knew that Princess Anle and Murong Peifeng were together.

Murong Peifeng couldn't get a word in edgewise for a while, so he shouted, "Listen to me!" His clothes were disheveled at the moment, which made people's imaginations run wild.

Everyone turned to look at him, but he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only say, "You've all misunderstood..."

Before Murong Peifeng could finish speaking, a clear female voice rang out from behind the crowd.

"Why are there so many people?"

What is this? Jing Rou suddenly felt the hairs on the back of her head stand on end. Could that voice be...? Sure enough, she turned her head and saw Jing Anle with a beaming smile, dignified, elegant, and very noble.

"Princess?"

Jing Anle moved gracefully over and asked, "What happened? Why are you all here?"

Everyone was astonished. Wasn't the princess in her room? How did she end up here again?

"Greetings, Princess!" someone shouted, and everyone quickly bowed.

Murong Peifeng glared at Jing Anle with gritted teeth. He was filled with anger, but dared not vent it, so he could only bow first.

"Everyone, please rise!" Jing Anle said.

"Young Master Murong? What are you doing here?" Jing Anle asked, feigning surprise, as if she was very curious about Murong Peifeng's appearance.

Murong Peifeng stammered for a long time before finally saying, "I was in a good mood today and drank a few too many cups, which is why I got drunk and entered the wrong room."

"Wrong room?"

Jing Anle covered her mouth in surprise and said, "What a coincidence! Luckily, I was out for a stroll, otherwise it would have caused a huge misunderstanding." Her tone was playful, and everyone present could tell that Jing Anle was teasing her.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other. They had previously thought that Princess Anle was having an affair, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. However, some noble ladies thought that this matter might have been deliberately orchestrated. Fortunately, Princess Anle was lucky, otherwise she would have been in trouble.

Jing Rou's face changed drastically, turning white and then green. Why was Jing Anle here? Shouldn't she be lying in bed, waiting for her to expose her?

Why do all the plans concerning Jing Anle fail? Jing Rou was furious, and her hands trembled uncontrollably. At this moment, Princess Qing held Jing Rou's hand tightly and gave her a reassuring look, telling her not to panic.

"Since Princess Anle is here, who is the person on the bed?" A noble lady asked, and everyone looked towards the bed.

Jing Anle feigned innocence and said, "What? There's someone else in bed!"

"Jing Anle! You're such a good actor," Jing Rou thought angrily, looking at Jing Anle's expression.

As the mistress of the Prince Qing's mansion, the princess stepped forward under everyone's gaze, lifted the bed curtain, and saw a familiar face. She immediately exclaimed in surprise, "How come it's you?"

Seeing the princess's surprised expression, Jing Rou was also very puzzled and quickly stepped forward, only to find that the person lying on the bed was actually Jing Rong.

Jing Rong's eyes twitched. She seemed to hear something. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the Princess and Jing Rou staring at her angrily.

"Your Highness, sister?" She rubbed her temples to clear her head. As she raised her hand, she noticed that she was only wearing her undergarments. She sat up in surprise and found herself in bed. Looking outside, she saw that the room was full of people.

Jing Rong quickly covered herself with the blanket and asked, "What happened? How did I get here?"

"What's going on? Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Jing Rou said angrily.
