"Who's coming?"

Song Qingxue looked in the direction he pointed, and her face suddenly darkened.

"Zhao Wanqiu?" Song Qingxue leaned back slightly and looked up at her.

Zhao Wanqiu smiled and said, "Ms. Song is so beautifully dressed today. If you don't know me, you might think you are the regent princess."

Song Qingxue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard that.

I'm being sarcastic, right?

Humph! Don't think I'll spoil you just because you're the heroine!

Song Qingxue curled her lips in contempt, her tone very light.

"The princess is dressed well today. If you don't know, you might think she is a fox spirit from some mountain."

In fact, Zhao Wanqiu's outfit today was cute, with a white gauze skirt and rabbit fur ornaments on her hair. She looked exactly like an innocent little rabbit.

But Zhao Wanqiu herself had no good intentions in causing trouble, so of course she wouldn't be polite to her!

Zhao Wanqiu was naturally angry, but because there were so many people in the hall, she did not dare to explode. She could only swallow her anger secretly and put a smile back on her face.

"Miss Song, I didn't come here to quarrel with you. I just wanted to remind you to quickly control your sultry aura. It's making me unable to eat."

"Are you a transformed dog? How come others can't smell it, but you can?"

"You! Song Qingxue, how dare you speak to me like that!"

"What's wrong with me talking to you like this? Do you think you're so great just because you're a princess? In terms of noble status, I'm the niece of the Queen Mother and the legitimate daughter of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion. What qualifications do you have to put on airs with me here?"

Song Qingxue has always known that in terms of status, the original owner is more noble than any other woman of the same generation in this book. It is no exaggeration to say that she is truly a darling of heaven.

Just based on Zhao Wanqiu, what can she use to suppress her?

Is it because she was born a concubine and her husband has been the least favored and most useless prince in the palace since childhood?

It's so ridiculous!

Song Qingxue's words made Zhao Wanqiu very angry.

"So what if you are a legitimate daughter? So what if you are a concubine's daughter? Even if your status is noble, it can't change the fact that you are not as good as me, right?"

Song Qingxue chuckled, "You really know how to flatter yourself. I admit that I am not as shameless as you."

"Who are you calling shameless?" Zhao Wanqiu bit her lower lip in anger.

"Whoever is responsible can say it." Song Qingxue frowned impatiently, "I say, are you really so idle? If you have nothing to do, can you find a job in a factory? I beg you to stop coming to me and causing trouble for me!"

Zhao Wanqiu was so angry that her head was dizzy. She didn't pay attention to what she meant by working in a factory. She just glared at her with a gloomy face.

"If you weren't so coquettish and wanted to seduce my prince, who do you think would be willing to talk to a slutty fox like you!"

"Wow! Do you think your prince is so beautiful that any woman would fall in love with him? Tell me, how can your prince compare to the regent beside me? In terms of appearance, how many people in the whole Dongyue can compare to the regent? In terms of power, do you think your prince can compare to him in terms of position and authority?"

Song Qingxue stared at Zhao Wanqiu, and suddenly covered her mouth with her hands in a surprised expression.

"Oh! Could it be that your prince has two legs that can walk?"

Zhao Wanqiu stared at her, her eyes bloodshot.

However, although Song Qingxue's words did make her extremely angry, it also gave her an opportunity.

She was seen pointing at Song Qingxue with great pride, and even her voice became much louder.

"Song Qingxue! Do you think you are scolding me? You are insulting the Regent!"

She snorted coldly, glanced at Xiahou Chongyuan, and continued to shout: "The regent is of noble status. How can you, a spoiled and domineering woman, discuss his health casually? Song Qingxue, you are so bold!"

After she said this, the person who responded to her was not Song Qingxue, but Xiahou Chongyuan, who had been sitting aside without saying a word.

In the noisy hall, Xiahou Chongyuan's voice was not particularly loud, but it was resounding and clear.

"Does the princess have any objection to my allowing her to be so bold?"

Because the dispute here was quite loud, when Zhao Wanqiu loudly scolded Song Qingxue just now, many people had already looked over here.

As soon as Xiahou Chongyuan said this, almost everyone in the hall looked over.

She inexplicably became the focus of the whole audience. Facing the gazes of almost everyone in the Tianhe Hall, Song Qingxue felt uncomfortable all over.

Damn Zhao Wanqiu!

Why can't you wait until after the party to talk about it? Why do you have to make a scene here?

She felt ashamed for Zhao Wanqiu.

Knowing her uneasiness, Xiahou Chongyuan reached out and held her hand on the armrest of the chair, then squeezed it gently.

Song Qingxue looked at him in surprise, but he acted as if no one was around and said calmly, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

"!"

Oh! It’s a heart-pounding feeling!

Song Qingxue quickly lowered her head. She couldn't bear to look at it, she couldn't bear to look at it anymore. If she looked any further she would be drowned in it.

She even suspected that he had learned those eyes from the Grim Reaper in the underworld, otherwise how could they be so alluring?

What a monster!

Song Qingxue was not a love-crazy girl. When she first met Xiahou Chongyuan, even though she was stunned by his looks, she never thought about him because of his appearance.

Moreover, she has known him for a year. She can imagine what his face looks like immediately with her eyes closed. She should have developed an iron wall of resistance to his appearance. Why does she feel increasingly unable to resist it now?

It turns out that true beauty can withstand close scrutiny.

I was amazed at first sight, and no matter how many times I looked at it afterwards, I was still amazed.

Xiahou Chongyuan listened to her thoughts and laughed secretly in his heart.

It was rare for his Qingxue to praise him like this, so he should give her a surprise.

Xiahou Chongyuan thought about it and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, with the corners of his lips curled up a little.

Now, it’s just a matter of waiting for the right moment.

And that good opportunity naturally happened when Zhao Wanqiu was standing in front of the two of them.

Xiahou Chongyuan was very good at guessing people's minds, and this time he had a clear grasp of Zhao Wanqiu's psychology.

He remained silent, waiting for Zhao Wanqiu to speak again.

Zhao Wanqiu naturally did not disappoint his expectations. After he said that which was completely indulgent to Song Qingxue, she was stunned for a moment and then spoke again.

"Uncle, I have always believed that you are a fair and wise person. How could you be so foolish as to be deceived by this witch?"

When facing Xiahou Chongyuan, Zhao Wanqiu's tone no longer had the arrogance it had just now. Instead, she praised him softly first, and then attributed his favoritism to Song Qingxue's confusion.

"Witch?" Xiahou Chongyuan said coldly, "Do you have any evidence with the princess?"

Zhao Wanqiu seemed to be waiting for him to say this. After hearing his question, she immediately became excited.

"If she is not a witch, then what is she? I grew up with her, but I never knew she had any medical skills! Moreover, you, my uncle, saw her kill someone with your own eyes, yet you still favor her!"

Zhao Wanqiu paused, then softened her tone and continued, "I know that the emperor's uncle is always wise and would never do something like this to deliberately protect him and upset the ministers."
