The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

How could this be? She clearly remembered bringing Jing Anle to the room, but now she was the one lying in bed.

Looking at so many people, Jingrong felt a sudden fear. She knew the princess's methods and dared not resist. She could only say, "I was drunk. I suppose Prince Murong has entered the wrong room."

This is the best explanation right now. Her words saved her own face while also giving Murong Peifeng a way out. A concubine's daughter's life is worthless; the princess could easily crush her. Given the current situation, this is the only way to avoid offending either side.

"It was my own fault for being so careless. I just randomly picked a room and didn't even notice if anyone was inside." Murong Peifeng covered his head, looking annoyed.

Some people believed it, while others did not.

Although Jing Rong was a concubine's daughter, she was still a member of the Prince Qing's household, so the princess could only say, "So that's how it is. It's all because the servants didn't serve her well."

The princess's words directly stated that the matter was a misunderstanding, and she wanted to completely sever ties between the two of them.

"Is there really such a coincidence?" Jing Anle asked immediately.

Jing Rou was already furious and said, "What does the princess mean by this? It's all because of drinking that things went wrong. A woman's reputation is of utmost importance. Does the princess think this was intentional?"

Hmph! So you all know the value of a good reputation, yet you want to ruin it to help you succeed. How absurd!

"Why is the princess so agitated? I was just saying it casually. After all, the person in bed is your own sister. You can't just ignore her now!" Jing Anle straightened her sleeves and said with a smile.

Yes, the incident has already happened, and there definitely needs to be an explanation.

Jing Anle knows Jing Rou too well. Jing Rou may not like Murong Peifeng that much, but she definitely loves power and wealth. If Murong Peifeng marries someone else and her things are taken by someone else, she probably won't feel good about it!

"What?" Murong Peifeng looked at Jing Anle in surprise.

He has no intention of marrying a concubine's daughter.

The princess was also stunned; she had never considered such a thing. After all, Murong Peifeng was handsome and had a decent family background. Most importantly, he was a prince of Qi who had been living abroad. She couldn't even imagine Jingrong taking advantage of him. So she said, "Princess, let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it with the prince before making any further plans."

Discuss it? I'm afraid that if we discuss it, we'll lose all contact with them!

Hearing this, Jing Rong's eyes lit up. Marrying Murong Peifeng was better than being arbitrarily married by the mistress in the future. Now that this had happened, she could forget about finding a good family. So, she didn't care about saving face anymore, knelt on the bed, and said, "I don't ask for the title of principal wife. Even if I am just a concubine, I will be willing."

Jing Rong is right. Now that her reputation is ruined, she won't have a better choice.

"You..." Jing Rou's temper flared up when she saw Jing Rong's expression. She was about to scold her, but then she remembered that there were so many people present, so she said, "Don't panic. The sisters are not outsiders, and they certainly won't spread this around."

"Hmph!" Jing Anle sneered, "The princess is truly meticulous and thoughtful, not even caring about her own sister's reputation!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the other noble ladies also felt it was inappropriate and began to discuss it among themselves. Since things had come to this point, the best solution was for Jingrong to marry Murong Peifeng.

Just then, a young maidservant, unfamiliar to everyone, walked through the crowd, bowed, and said, "This servant greets all the masters."

"Who are you?" The princess recognized all the maids in the manor; she guessed that you were brought in by a guest attending the banquet.

The maidservant had a smile on her face and was very pleasant to look at. She said, "I am a maidservant of the young master of the Xie family. I saw you in the pavilion earlier and guessed that it was a token that you dropped. I didn't dare to delay and brought it over right away."

As he spoke, he took out a token from his sleeve, on which was written the character "An," which was Jing Anle's token for leaving the palace, and handed it to Jing Anle.

"What 'Miss'? This is a princess," the princess immediately rebuked.

The princess was initially unsure of the maid's identity and didn't know how to speak to her, but Xie Shikai was just a minor official, so she didn't take him seriously at all.

The maid looked surprised and quickly lowered her head, apologizing, "It was my poor eyesight that prevented me from recognizing the princess. Please don't blame me!"

"I should thank you, how could I blame you?" Jing Anle took the token and personally helped the maid up.

Jing Anle's actions were simply unbelievable to everyone. This princess had always been known for her willful and capricious nature, and her reputation as a talented woman at the last poetry gathering had already spread. But now, seeing her in person, she was not only noble and elegant, but also approachable.

The noble ladies were also opportunistic. One of them, dressed in orange, said with a smile, "Everyone says that the princess is high and mighty, but now that I've seen her in person, she's so approachable. I wonder who's been spreading these rumors."

With this noble lady leading the way, some other noble ladies also began to echo her sentiments, after all, Jing Anle was the princess!

"Yes, the princess is not only beautiful and talented, but also treats her servants kindly!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Jing Anle simply nodded and smiled. As a princess, she didn't need to explain so much to others. Was this the crowd that Jing Rou was so proud of? She still didn't understand; there are no eternal friends.

This was the result of Jing Anle's previous discussion with Xie Bailing. If Xie Bailing were to deliver it directly, it would likely cause gossip. In other words, this maid confirmed that Jing Anle had been outside all along and had no connection with Murong Peifeng.

Jing Rou, standing nearby, was displeased. She had invited these noble ladies to ridicule Jing Anle, not to praise her.

Murong Peifeng, standing nearby, was dumbfounded. Not only had he failed to achieve his goal, but he was also forced to marry someone he didn't like. How could he not be furious?

"You may leave now!" Jing Anle said to the maid.

"Yes!"

Jing Anle weighed the token in her hand and said, "In the end, this matter is ultimately a matter for the Prince Qing's mansion, and I am unwilling to interfere."

“But…” Jing Anle walked up to Princess Qing. This was the first time the two women had faced each other. Princess Qing narrowed her eyes, her gaze full of vigilance, and then she heard Jing Anle continue, “But a princess consort shouldn’t disregard the reputation of a concubine’s daughter and do something surprising!”

This Jing Anle is indeed difficult to deal with. She means that she will prevent Jing Rong from marrying into a higher social class. Princess Qing was furious, but on the surface she still smiled and said, "Princess, you are overthinking it."
