When the little princess saw that the others left Gu Ruizhou, who was talking to the prince and others, and chased Yan Ling out of the main hall, she also followed out curiously. Unexpectedly, I saw a good show.
On weekdays, she and Yan Ling had always been at odds with each other, disliked each other, and had no contact with each other in private.
Now seeing Yan Ling's eyes turn red due to the popularity, she just feels happy in her heart. If he showed up, he would have to speak for Yan Ling both emotionally and rationally. Thinking about it, he felt uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, the little princess hid herself to watch the show and did not intend to show her face.
After hearing Zhao Huaqiong's reply, Chu Chengping changed his usual easy-going demeanor and scolded him coldly:
"Just one gaffe, over and over again? Those words just now were harsh and vicious, how can they be used as an excuse? Miss Zhao has humiliated Yanling and Wanrong, has she ever reflected on her words and deeds? Just because the person you like, you are so cruel to me. Miss Lin has become more amiable, but you have been making things difficult for her at every turn. You dare not even look down on Yan Ling's identity as princess. Is it Master Zhao who taught you to commit such a crime like this?"
Facing Chu Chengping's reprimand, Zhao Huaqiong's anger just now turned into panic and embarrassment.
She didn't expect that the fourth prince actually knew that she liked Xiao Siming and publicized the matter regardless of her face.
But Xiao Siming was right there, and she couldn't even refute... It was all because of these bitches who made her look embarrassed in front of everyone and Xiao Siming!
"Your Highness, it was just a quarrel between my daughter's family, how can it be related to my father? It was my daughter who was so angry that she spoke rudely, it was never her intention."
The noise in the corridor attracted many people to stop and watch.
Chu Chengping glanced at Princess Yanling, who was staring angrily and aggrieved, and then looked behind Princess Yanling, at the trembling figure like a frightened rabbit, and his anger only increased:
"It's a son's fault if he doesn't teach his father well. If the minister teaches his daughter like this, I don't know how he can handle official duties!"
Hearing this, Zhao Huaqiong became more and more panicked. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Yichen interrupted him and said in a cold and serious voice:
"Miss Zhao, it is not advisable to judge others by oneself. The princess is of noble virtue and has never been entangled with me, nor has she ever been ready to rely on me as you said she couldn't get married. On the contrary, I know that I am not worthy enough. I only want to become the princess and then go to the palace to propose marriage after I have made a great contribution."
Princess Yanling, who was looking angry at the side, turned to look at Gu Yichen blankly when she heard this, her mind was in chaos like fireworks exploding.
Gu Yichen glanced at the people watching the theater nearby and raised his voice by two points:
"Fortunately, God has mercy on me. I have made military exploits this time and been granted a title by His Majesty, so I feel qualified to stand beside the princess. The princess is kind and straightforward, and she is willing to favor me. It is my great fortune. Therefore, I will never tolerate someone making baseless slander against her, so please keep this in mind, Ms. Zhao!"
In Chu Chengyi's eyes, the cold murderous intention he originally looked at Zhao Huaqiong dissipated a lot due to Gu Yichen's words, and he looked at his sister with the corner of his mouth raised.
Princess Yanling listened to Gu Yichen's words in a daze, and didn't react until Gu Yichen looked at her.
She turned her head hurriedly, avoiding her sight. Her heartbeat was beating like thunder, and her eyes were shaking so hard that she didn't know where to look, and her ears and cheeks were stained with shyness.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Princess Yanling was at a loss and had to look at Chu Chengyi for help.
But when she saw her brother smiling with a face full of jest, Princess Yanling was so embarrassed and angry that she shouted at Chu Chengyi: "Why are you laughing! I'm going to find my mother-in-law!"
