As Imperial Prince Jing's side concubine, Murong Xinlian was dressed very grandly.
She was Longze Jingtian's first concubine. Even though she was only a side concubine, the other princes were still young and didn't have wives. Imperial Prince Jing's Estate didn't have a princess consort yet, so Murong Xinlian's status was very high. At this moment, she completely acted like the mistress of the house and arranged everything.
On the boat, the men sat in one place and drank while the women sat in another.
"Eldest Young Miss Bai's hairpin was made by Young Master Guanhua? It's so beautiful! "
When Duanmu Yiyi saw the lifelike begonia flowers, the envy in her eyes was obvious.
Just as Murong Qiqi had thought, Bai Yiyue was especially suited for this kind of elegant begonia flower. "It's very beautiful!" Murong Qiqi smiled at Bai Yiyue. It seemed that she had good taste.
"Heh, you also know that it's beautiful?" The moment Duanmu Yiyi saw Murong Qiqi, she recalled the night when Murong Qiqi had severed the tendons in her hand. Her gaze towards Murong Qiqi became even more hostile. "I thought you didn't know anything and were just an idiot!"
"Slap — —" Su Yue, who was behind Murong Qiqi, rushed forward and raised her hand to give Duanmu Yiyi a loud slap. The boat quieted down and everyone looked at Murong Qiqi.
"You, you dare to hit me!"
Duanmu Yiyi was flustered and exasperated. She covered her face with one hand and pointed at Murong Qiqi and Su Yue with the other.
"Yes, I hit you!" Su Yue coldly snorted, "My young miss is the sunshine princess conferred by the emperor and is the Northern Zhou Country's Princess Nanlin. If you continue to speak so impudently, it won't be as simple as just hitting you!"
Su Yue's words were hard to find. When Duanmu Yiyi ridiculed Murong Qiqi, she spoke very loudly and everyone on the boat heard it. If Murong Qiqi really wanted to pursue this matter, Duanmu Yiyi would be the one who would have to bear the consequences.
However, Duanmu Yiyi could not take it lying down after being taught a lesson by such a little girl. She had just drawn her sword and was about to get serious when Murong Qiqi's cool voice sounded beside her ear. "Could it be that Miss Duanmu feels hot and wishes to bathe in the lake?"
She didn't know why, but this voice made Duanmu Yiyi shiver. The sun was obviously very bright, but why did she feel chilly?
The disturbance was resolved by Murong Qiqi's words. Seeing the awkward silence, Murong Xinlian immediately stood up with a smile to greet everyone. However, she didn't expect Long Zhe Yu 'er to speak darkly, "The Sunshine Princess truly has a bad temper. The little maid beside you even dares to hit the Empress' niece!"
She had always had a good relationship with Duanmu Yiyi. Ever since she knew that Duanmu Yiyi had injured her hand, she felt that it was unfair for her. This time, seeing how arrogant Murong Qiqi was to hit Duanmu Yiyi in front of her, Long Zhe Yu 'er felt that Murong Qiqi had completely humiliated her.
"Thank you for the compliment! My people are naturally different! "Murong Qiqi pretended not to hear the anger in Long Zeyu'er's words.
"You —" Even Long Zhe Yu 'er had never met someone as' thick-skinned 'as Murong Qiqi. Long Zhe Yu 'er suddenly turned and pointed at Su Yue and said, "Men! Drag this lowly servant away and flog her 20 times!"
"Reason?" Murong Qiqi was still leaning softly on the pillow with one hand supporting her chin. She looked like a harmless little bunny and didn't seem to be worried about her own maid.
"She is an eyesore to me. She has affected my mood and caused me to lose my appetite. Tell me, is this a reason?"
When Long Zhe Yu 'er finished speaking, Duanmu Yiyi laughed with half of her swollen face, "Princess is still the best! Men, hurry and bring this lowly servant away! "
"Hehe —" Without waiting for anyone to move, Murong Qiqi laughed first.
"Just a while ago, Etiquette Aunt told me that Prince's health isn't good. If you want to wash away your blessings, it would be best if good things come in pairs. She asked me if I have any suitable candidates in mind. Today, when I looked at Princess Ping Yang and Young Lady Duanmu, I feel that they are both not bad. Which one should I recommend to Prince? This is still a headache … "
Murong Qiqi's words almost made Duanmu Yiyi vomit blood. Who didn't know about Southern Lin Duke's situation? Even if Murong Qiqi was the one who entered the fire pit, she shouldn't harm others like this.
Everyone knew that Feng Cang had sent someone to teach Murong Qiqi. Now that Murong Qiqi said it like this, everyone believed that it was true. Immediately, Duanmu Yiyi forgot about the pain on her face and quickly distanced herself from Long Zhe Yu 'er.
"It seems like Young Lady Duanmu has given up. Then, I can only recommend Princess Ping Yang. However, how can this be good?! You and I are both princesses. If we both marry over, who will be older and who will be younger? "
Murong Qiqi pretended to have a headache. After pondering for a long time, she suddenly came to a realization. "Aiya, how could I have forgotten? My name was clearly written on the letter that His Majesty handed over to Northern Zhou. If that's the case, then Princess will have to be wronged to be the younger one!"
Long Zhe Yu 'er almost fainted from anger. She didn't want to marry Feng Cang! It was precisely because of this that Duanmu Yiyi pushed Murong Qiqi to be the "scapegoat"! She would rather die than marry Feng Cang and be the younger one!
"Murong Qiqi, what exactly do you want?" Long Zhe Yu 'er finally understood why Duanmu Yiyi hated Murong Qiqi so much. It was because she was extremely hateful!
"How is Princess's mood now? Is her appetite better? If she is still not feeling well, then this princess's servant girl is really guilty. Isn't Princess going to be flogged? Go quickly. If you are any later, I'm afraid her sin will be even greater! "
"Murong Qiqi, you have guts!" Knowing that Murong Qiqi was threatening her on behalf of Su Yue, Long Zhe Yu 'er gritted her teeth. "This princess is very good now. Very good!"
"You are still young. Just say it! Su Yue, quickly thank Princess! "
Su Yue held back her laughter as she walked to Long Zhe Yu 'er and bowed. "Su Yue thanks Princess!"
This pair of master and servant was clearly bullying her. However, Murong Qiqi's words were there. Long Zhe Yu 'er was worried that if she really took Su Yue, Murong Qiqi would use underhanded methods to frame her. Thus, she could only swallow her anger. In the second round, Murong Qiqi won again.
The commotion between the women had spread to the men's side. Many of them had a new evaluation of Murong Qiqi.
Ever since he heard that Murong Qiqi was going to be married to North Zhou, Shangguan Wuji was very worried about Murong Qiqi's situation. He wanted to visit her but was stopped by the people of North Zhou. Now that he saw the smile on the girl's face, Shangguan Wuji was happy for her but also a little disappointed.
