Qin Nian nodded to Mo Yue and followed the maid in.
Mo Yue shot towards King Xuan's residence as fast as an arrow.
The princess and Miss Qin had no connection, so why did Miss Qin come to see the princess? Mo Yue felt something was wrong.
Having been with King Xuan for a long time, Mo Yue knew the princess's temperament and methods very well.
He guessed that Qin Nian must be in danger, and Mo Yue felt it necessary to tell the prince.
He rushed to find King Xuan.
Qin Nian followed the maid into a luxurious room. The maid bowed and said softly, "Princess, Miss Qin is here."
Ji Haitang looked over and saw Qin Nian wearing a light green skirt, with a small face and big eyes.
As clean as a green leaf, and more like a drop of water, neither vulgar nor flattering, pure and youthful, beautiful as a poem and a painting.
There are all kinds of beauties in the palace, all of whom are well versed in poetry, books and etiquette, and never break the rules.
How come this girl, who grew up in the village, is not nervous or afraid of people? She knows the etiquette, but doesn't follow it completely, as if she has seen all kinds of big scenes.
She is not restrained, very free and easy, and has excellent medical skills, which is unmatched by any other rich girl.
King Xuan thought highly of her and asked her to be his doctor. She was not annoyed at all when she was rejected.
It was this that made her feel uneasy and she had to do something.
Qin Nian looked over and saw Ji Haitang sitting on a big chair with a dignified posture, perfect makeup, and jewels all over her body.
There was a smile on his face, and in that smile there was an undisguised sharp edge.
She was also a bit arrogant, and even the maid Zi Fu behind her looked down on her.
Despise her? Your mind is so narrow-minded. No wonder you have no confidence in your man.
Seeing that Ji Haitang didn't move or speak, the maid was quite clever: "Miss Qin, please pay your respects to the princess."
Qin Nian said in a clear voice: "Meet the princess."
After a long while, Ji Haitang said "hmm" softly, so casually, as if he had just heard it.
He no longer looked at Qin Nian, but at the teacup on the table. He slowly picked it up and took a sip.
She acted very dignified, as if everything about her was slow.
After a while, he opened his eyelids and said, "Miss Qin, you asked to see me, please tell me what you want to say."
Qin Nian looked at her and didn't beat around the bush:
"Yesterday I came to collect disaster relief grain, and two people who looked like yamen runners suddenly appeared in front of me. They said they were sent by the princess.
I came here to ask—"
"I sent it."
Ji Haitang interrupted Qin Nian arrogantly: "Yesterday was the first day of July, and there were too many disaster victims receiving relief food.
Considering that you treated King Xuan's injuries, I sent someone over to take you to get relief food first.
You can avoid the pain of queuing in the hot sun, and you can go home early and have a full meal. This is also my way of thanking you."
This was not said politely at all, and he was waiting to mock Qin Nian in front of her, saying that you are a person who lives on relief food.
Only by receiving relief food can you have a full meal. This is the extreme use of irony.
But I didn't think about it, why would a little girl who was on relief food be afraid? Wasn't she doing something bad on purpose because she was worried about others?
Qin Nian was not angered at all: "I do eat relief food, and I don't think there is anything shameful about eating relief food.
Of course, I can survive even if I don’t have relief food.
With my ability, I can earn real money, eat rice and flour, and drink spiritual spring water that others can’t afford, have never seen, or even heard of.”
Contempt filled the eyes of Princess Xuan, and her face was filled with contempt. She burst into laughter:
"Since Miss Qin is so capable, why did she come to collect relief food in such a hot July?
It would be great to just sit at home and eat rice and flour.”
“The relief food is distributed by the imperial court to disaster victims. I live in the disaster-stricken area, so why shouldn’t I receive it?
Receiving relief food doesn't mean I don't have any ability. I earned a lot of money by treating King Xuan's injuries, and I can afford to buy all the rice and flour.
It’s no problem to support my grandmother and myself.”
The smile on Ji Haitang's face disappeared instantly, and his voice became cold and stern: "You came to see me just to show off your skills?"
Qin Nian looked at her and said, "The topic just now did go a bit off topic, but it wasn't me who did it, it was the princess.
Prince Xuan was injured, and the princess must have a rough idea in her mind that the person who attacked him must be an enemy of Prince Xuan.
They wounded King Xuan with poisoned arrows, and in order to achieve their goal of killing him, they did everything they could to prevent the doctors from treating King Xuan.
I helped King Xuan treat his injuries. In order to avoid bringing trouble to me and preventing my grandmother and I from having to worry about our lives, King Xuan and his men did their best to conceal the matter.
The person sent by the princess was the first to loudly tell everyone in the big tea stall that I had treated Prince Xuan's injuries.
I didn't consider at all whether it would bring me fatal disaster.
No matter if they did it unintentionally or I was just overthinking it, I just want to say one thing to the princess: no matter what happens in the future, you don't have to worry about me.
I can do everything by myself without any help.
Before May, I lived with my grandmother. After May, I lived with my grandmother and my fiancé's family.
We will not interfere with anyone, and we hope that others will not interfere with our lives."
In front of Ji Haitang, Qin Nian first told Ji Haitang about the dirty things he had done.
She also made her attitude clear, that she was engaged and had a fiancé, the princess's prince, and she was not thinking about him. They should live their own lives in the future and no one should disturb them.
Ji Haitang was angry:
"Miss Qin, are you saying that I deliberately let those two people talk like that just to bring danger to you?
I had no reason to do that. Could it be that Miss Qin was so confident that she thought I was afraid and worried that you would pose a threat to my position?
So, you want to use the hands of King Xuan’s enemies to get rid of you?
You are just a village girl. Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you can't get ahead of me. Do I need to spend so much effort to get rid of you?"
"I didn't say that the princess wanted to get rid of me, and I certainly didn't want to get ahead of her. The princess was frightened, so it's okay to understand it that way.
It is true that I am a village girl, but the princess does not dare to get rid of me. The reason is not because she is afraid of me, but because she is afraid that if you do that, it will cause trouble for King Xuan.
From now on, you live your life as a princess, and I will live my life as a country girl. Don't disturb or scheme against each other. No one owes anyone anything.
I have finished speaking, goodbye."
"stop!"
Princess Xuan was so angry that her face turned red: "You are just a country girl, you want to leave after showing off in front of me?"
Qin Nian looked at her coldly: "What else?"
"Now that you're here, don't even think about going back. Instead of worrying about you, it's better to kill you and put an end to it all.
I want to see if a country girl like you can escape from my clutches."
Princess Xuan shouted, "Come here, take this slave girl down for me."
