Because of the emperor's attention at the banquet, Xu Wanqing now lives like a fish in water in the Ningguo Palace.
The palace servants treated them both with great respect and responded to their every request. After all, they had all heard that Princess Chenxiang was punished because of her.
Who is Princess Chenxiang?
She is the Crown Prince's biological daughter and the Emperor's most beloved granddaughter.
Now, Princess Chenxiang was punished because of this woman. How could they not be nervous and take it seriously?
Xu Wanqing was happy to see this happen. Seeing the palace servants treating her respectfully, the arrogance in her bones emerged again.
"Go, bring me a plate of lychees!"
Now that it is summer, it is time to eat lychees.
"litchi?"
The little palace maid looked at Xu Wanqing in surprise. Did she understand what she was saying?
Can ordinary people eat lychees?
Only a few nobles in the entire palace could eat it. Normally, concubines below the rank of imperial concubine had no chance to see it.
"Did you hear what I said? Go get a plate."
The little palace maid stood timidly to one side, not daring to raise her head. "To answer Miss Xu, there are no lychees in the palace."
"How is that possible?"
Xu Wanqing didn't believe it at first, then said disdainfully: "Could it be that this desert country has never even seen lychees? How pitiful!"
"Xu Wanqing, who do you think is pitiful?"
Princess Chenxiang pushed open the door and strode in.
Xu Wanqing saw who it was, smiled disdainfully, and said sarcastically, "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be Princess Chenxiang who was punished for her arrogance a few days ago. What are you doing here in this hot weather?"
Princess Chenxiang was so angry that her face turned red and she shouted, "I can go wherever I want in this palace. What's it to you?"
Xu Wanqing waved her hand nonchalantly, curling her lips, "I can't control it, but if you are punished by the emperor again because of this, it will not be good."
"You..., don't be so proud!"
Xu Wanqing ignored her words and continued to order the servant beside her, saying, "Go and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy some lychees. It's hot in summer, how can we not eat lychees?"
Now, Princess Chenxiang understood what she was talking about, and she laughed contemptuously, "So you want to eat lychees? Let me tell you, there are plenty of lychees in the palace, but if you want to eat them, you can't!"
"You...is this how you entertain guests? Go, bring me a plate of lychees!"
Princess Chenxiang widened her eyes. This bitch actually dared to order her around.
Without thinking, he slapped Xu Wanqing in the face.
The applause also startled Lu Mingxuan in the inner room.
"Wanqing, Wanqing, what's wrong with you?"
Although Lu Mingxuan was very happy to see Xu Wanqing's red and swollen cheeks, they were acting as a couple after all, so he could only go against his will and pretend to care about her.
"You..., Chenxiang, you actually dared to hit me!"
Xu Wanqing didn't pay attention to Lu Mingxuan. She came back to her senses after being slapped and started cursing.
"What's wrong with me hitting you? You deserve a beating, and this princess is going to tell you something. If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful or I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"you......"
Xu Wanqing felt that she had met her match. At this moment, the anger in her mind had completely overwhelmed her desire to resign.
While Princess Chenxiang was feeling proud, she grabbed Chenxiang's hair and pulled it hard.
"Ah..., it hurts so much, Xu Wanqing, you bitch, let me go! If you don't let go, I will tell my father, and I will tell my grandfather too."
Xu Wanqing thought that the King of Ning treated her differently, so she didn't care about Chenxiang's threat at all.
Lu Mingxuan looked at the two people who kept yelling and cursing, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
This Xu Wanqing is so stupid. Princess Chenxiang is still the legitimate princess of Ningguo, and she is also the daughter of the prince. How can Xu Wanqing compare with her status?
She's really going to kill me.
Thinking of the consequences, Lu Mingxuan gritted his teeth and went forward to mediate.
Xu Wanqing was not paying attention and Lu Mingxuan pulled one of her hands away. When she was distracted, she didn't expect that Princess Chenxiang would overtake her and grab her face several times.
"It hurts, it hurts, my face, my face!"
Because of the pain on her face, Xu Wanqing retracted her hand and covered her face.
Princess Chenxiang now got the chance and started punching and kicking Xu Wanqing.
"Princess, Princess, you can't do this, you can't..."
"Humph! If you go against this princess, you will suffer the consequences."
Now, Princess Chenxiang has the upper hand, and her face is full of pride.
"Princess, Princess, I beg you to let Wanqing go, okay? She is pregnant, you can't treat her like this, hey, you..."
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"The Queen has arrived!"
The shouting outside made everyone present change their expressions.
A hint of pride flashed in Xu Wanqing's eyes, and the look she gave Chenxiang became more threatening.
Princess Chenxiang's face turned pale. She still remembered what happened last time. Her father and mother made her copy the female rules fifty times, which almost made her die of exhaustion.
"What are you doing?"
The queen's rebuke made everyone present kneel down.
Xu Wanqing was afraid that she didn't look miserable enough, so she secretly pulled her hair. Now it seemed that she was no better looking than the beggar.
"Uncle, Queen, I, I... wuwuwu"
Xu Wanqing was the first to shed tears, and her miserable appearance made people feel distressed.
"Speak nicely, Chenxiang. Tell me, what's the reason? Why did you fight with Wanqing?"
"Grandpa Emperor, Grandma Emperor, woo woo woo"
The emperor and the empress frowned tightly, looking at the two of them with displeasure.
"Everyone, get up and explain yourself."
"yes!"
Xu Wanqing's eyes were red, and there were traces of tears on her face. "Uncle, I, I want to go back to Shangyuan, so that Princess Chenxiang won't be separated from you. If you knew this, I wouldn't have come here. I'm leaving."
After saying this, she turned around and packed her luggage.
"Nonsense! Can't you two just get along peacefully? Did you get less food or less drink?"
"Grandpa Emperor, don't listen to her nonsense. She's the one who said we're so pitiful that we can't even afford lychees. Everyone knows that in our area, there are only a few lychees a year. How can everyone eat them all?"
The queen looked at Xu Wanqing in surprise. It seemed that she was not a girl from an ordinary family.
"It's just lychees. If you want to eat them, I'll have the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare more. I'll do it just for this. If the news gets out, I won't be afraid of being laughed at."
"Uncle..."
"Well, since you've come all this way, just be safe and sound!"
After saying this, the King of Ningguo turned around and left without even glancing at Xu Wanqing.
However, the Queen gave Xu Wanqing a meaningful look before leaving.
Xu Wanqing was stunned when she saw Chenxiang's smug look.
