"Who gave you the guts to mock this princess?!"

Sensing Shangguan Qing's anger, Gu Yunji's smile deepened: "Princess Shangguan, you have misunderstood. I did not mean to mock you by saying this."

"Song Qianning is a humble girl from the countryside. In terms of background, she is not even as good as a maid in a wealthy family. The only thing about her that is good is her face. It was only because of that face that she was lucky enough to win Qin Ye's favor and become the regent princess."

Gu Yunji sighed and shook his head in dissatisfaction: "Song Qianning is of low status and is not even qualified to be a maid in the Prince Regent's Palace. Yet, the prince wants her to be the Prince Regent's Consort."

"In my opinion, Princess Shangguan is of noble status and is the most beloved princess of Emperor Xia. She is a perfect match for the Regent and is several times more powerful than Song Qianning."

His words successfully pleased Shangguan Qing.

In Shangguan Qing's opinion, Song Qianning was not even worthy of carrying her shoes. She relied on her face and seductive ways to seduce Qin Ye.

It is obvious that Shangguan Qing is the one who is most worthy of Qin Ye, and she is so much better than that bitch Song Qianning.

But Qin Ye preferred that bitch Song Qianning and ignored her.

Thinking about how Qin Ye personally picked up food for Song Qianning and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief in the hall, Shangguan Qing was almost overwhelmed by jealousy.

The person who is pampered and loved by Qin Ye should be her, Shangguan Qing, not that bitch Song Qianning!

Seeing her constantly changing expression, the smile on Gu Yunji's face became much more sincere.

"In fact, I stopped the princess today because I wanted to help her marry the Regent and become the Regent Princess."

After coming back to her senses, Shangguan Qing narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Yunji when she heard his words.

Her attitude was arrogant and haughty: "Why should this princess trust you? Who knows what you are thinking?"

"Princess, don't worry." Gu Yunji said gently, "I sincerely want to help you, because we have a common enemy."

"A common enemy?"

"That's right." Gu Yunji nodded: "To be honest with you, Princess, Song Qianning and I have had some conflicts before. I cooperated with you to deal with Song Qianning."

"She is so arrogant because of the favor of the Prince Regent. If she loses her status as the Princess Regent, she will be at the mercy of others."

In order to make Shangguan Qing believe him, Gu Yunji showed a trace of resentment on his face when he talked about his hatred with Song Qianning.

This move indeed softened Shangguan Qing's attitude, but she still refused to agree.

"This princess will think about it and decide whether to agree to your request."

After saying this, Shangguan Qing ignored Gu Yunji and turned around to continue walking back.

Looking at Shangguan Qing's back, Gu Yunji curled up the corners of his mouth, and the smile on his face became inexplicably cold.

The fish is about to take the bait.

…

Because of what Shangguan Qing did at the banquet, Emperor Xia was in no mood at all.

After finally waiting until the banquet was over, he put on a sullen face and hurried to Shangguan Qing's bedroom.

"Father."

Upon seeing Shangguan Qing, Emperor Xia's expression darkened even more: "Shangguan Qing, do you still have any dignity left?"

Shangguan Qing, who was considering whether to agree to Gu Yunji's request, was suddenly interrupted and began to feel unhappy: "Father, what do you mean by this? How can Qing'er be shameless?"

Seeing that she dared to talk back, Emperor Xia became furious.

There are many court officials and ladies at the banquet today. It won’t be long before the farce spreads throughout the capital.

If it were his Xia Kingdom, it would be fine, but this is not their own territory, and it would be a real disgrace to other countries.

He knew Shangguan Qing's feelings for Qin Ye, but he didn't expect that she almost did such an insane thing because of Qin Ye.

By then, not only will she lose face, but also the face of the entire Xia country.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Xia's voice was filled with anger: "If you make trouble again in the future, I will have you sent back to Xia Kingdom!"

Worried that he would lose control of his anger if he stayed any longer, Emperor Xia gave the warning, flicked his sleeves, and stormed off.

Returning to his own chamber, the old eunuch considerately dismissed the other servants: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry."

Emperor Xia sat on the chair, looking as if he had aged ten years, with a trace of vicissitudes on his face.

"Why is Qing'er's personality not at all like his mother's?"

Emperor Xia closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about, and murmured, "If her temperament could be like her mother's, I wouldn't have to worry."

The old eunuch didn't say much. He just stood behind Emperor Xia and gently served him a cup of tea.

"The princess is just young and impetuous. She will understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts in the future."

Having said that, the old eunuch couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The queen of the Xia Kingdom, who was also Shangguan Qing's mother, was a truly gentle person.

Even the maids and eunuchs in the palace spoke of the queen with admiration.

It's a pity that the daughter she gave birth to had such a personality.

If the old eunuch were to say, Shangguan Qing and the Queen really have nothing in common.

If the queen were still alive, the mother and daughter standing together would not look similar at all.

Of course, the old eunuch only dared to secretly criticize these words in his heart and never dared to say them out loud.

"On weekdays in Xia Country, the princess treats the emperor with care."

Hearing the old eunuch's comfort, Emperor Xia forced himself to cheer up and smiled bitterly to himself.

The other side.

Because of Emperor Xia's warning, Shangguan Qing's face darkened, and she was filled with anger with nowhere to vent, so she threw everything on the table down.

The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling.

In recent years, the princess's temper has become worse.

Sitting back with a gloomy face, Shangguan Qing kept cursing Song Qianning, and even hated Emperor Xia.

The emperor clearly knew that she liked Qin Ye, but was unwilling to help her. Instead, he asked her to give up Qin Ye.

Song Qianning is just a lowly peasant girl. How can she compare to her? Why should she give up?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Shangguan Qing clenched her hands suddenly, and her beautiful face twisted into a frown.

She has never failed to get what she wants, and Qin Ye is no exception.

Sooner or later, Qin Ye will be his!

Originally, Shangguan Qing had not decided whether to cooperate with Gu Yunji.

The reprimand from Emperor Xia just now completely strengthened her determination.

Completely unaware that someone already hated her, Song Qianning lived a happy life in the days that followed.

Every day I play with my baby at home or go for a walk on the street. I am having a very happy life.

This morning, a family of four was sitting in a carriage.

Song Qianning glanced outside a few times, then withdrew her hand that was about to lift the curtain, looked at Qin Ye curiously, and pulled him aside to ask about Zhuangzi.

A few days ago, when Qin Ye accidentally mentioned a hot spring resort in the suburbs of the palace, Song Qianning became interested.

Seeing that she was interested, Qin Ye took advantage of the day to take her and the two children to visit the farm together.

Along the way, Song Qianning kept asking questions curiously, and Qin Ye patiently answered them.
