"Sister Qingxue, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."

Zhao Wanqiu is an old master of expression management. Although she was severely criticized by Song Qingxue at the palace night banquet, she still smiled and called her sister when they met today.

"Miss Zhao, you really don't have a long memory." Song Qingxue didn't give her face, and said directly in a princess's airs: "I remember telling you a long time ago that when you meet me, you must greet me and call me Your Highness Princess."

Zhao Wanqiu's expression changed for a moment, but she soon smiled again and said in a very good manner: "Oh, look at my memory. In the past, I have always called the princess and her sister, and we have a very good relationship. Now I can't change my words all of a sudden. Please don't blame me, princess."

"Three times is enough. Miss Zhao is a smart person. I hope you won't make such a stupid mistake again."

"Of course not."

Zhao Wanqiu was also a tolerant person. Song Qingxue choked on every word she said, but she still persisted in trying to get close to her.

She always felt that Song Qingxue was still as stupid as before, but she didn't know who had instigated the rift between the two of them.

Zhao Wanqiu thought that she must win over Song Qingxue again.

The court is no longer as stable as before. If a breakthrough can be found from Song Qingxue, it will be much easier to pull Xiahou Chongyuan down from his high position.

Otherwise, she would not have planned to make Song Qingxue the regent princess.

Fortunately, Song Qingxue's status is worthy of the title, otherwise it would not be so easy to be the regent princess.

She is also a little distressed now. Song Qingxue has suddenly become very wary of her, and it seems difficult for her to use her again.

Zhao Wanqiu's mind turned over and over again, "Princess, although you don't like me very much now, I still care about the sisterhood between you and me. Recently, I always think of the time when you were still unmarried and you talked to me about everything. We were really happy at that time."

"Yeah, that's true." Of course you are happy because the original owner, that idiot, fooled you and did things for you every day.

Zhao Wanqiu quickly replied, "I have been thinking about this for a long time these days. After thinking about it over and over again, I don't know why you and I have suddenly become estranged from each other. So I came here today to ask Empress Wangfei, otherwise I will always be uneasy."

"Want to know the reason?"

"Of course I do. After all, I don't want to lose you as a sister."

hypocritically!

Song Qingxue sneered and raised her chin and said, "Because later I found that you are not worthy of being my sister."

"This... Sister Qingxue..."

Zhao Wanqiu never thought that Song Qingxue, such a fool, could say such a thing.

She was so angry that her teeth itched, but she had to pretend to be weak and innocent. She wiped her red eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Sister Qingxue, I don't believe you are such a person. Someone must have said a lot of bad things about me in your ear, so you hate me, right?"

She pursed her lips and said, "Sister, don't listen to others. Don't you know what kind of person I am? You and I grew up together, and you should be the one who knows me best."

"Nonsense." Song Qingxue said, "I don't know you."

There was something wrong with what she said. Zhao Wanqiu had been scheming and good at socializing since she was young, so she was able to thrive in the circle of noble ladies in the capital city despite her status as a concubine's daughter.

The original owner would be fooled by her, but she wouldn't.

"Sister Qingxue, you..." Zhao Wanqiu still refused to give up and tried to say something else.

"Ms. Zhao, you've overstepped the line." Song Qingxue warned her with a stern face.

Zhao Wanqiu looked extremely aggrieved, but in her heart she was thinking about the real reason why Song Qingxue had become like this.

She and Song Qingxue have known each other for so many years, so she naturally knows Song Qingxue's personality very well.

Song Qingxue has been stupid since she was young, and she has always listened to her.

What went wrong?

Originally, after that night banquet, she thought that someone must have said something to Song Qingxue, and she wanted to wait for some time to come back and check.

But I didn't expect Song Qingxue's attitude to be so firm.

This woman, Song Qingxue, really seems like a different person.

But even so, she was unwilling to give up such an excellent chess piece like Song Qingxue so easily.

Apart from her, there is no other chess piece in the world that is so useful and easy to control.

While Zhao Wanqiu was thinking for a moment, Song Qingxue had already thought of the words and ordered her to leave.

"It's getting late. This princess is a little tired. Liu Huan, please see us off."

I have to say, the lines in the TV series are still somewhat useful.

Especially with her current identity, it would sound so impressive to say it out loud. Even if others knew that she was just making up an excuse to cover up her mistake, they would not dare to expose her in public.

Seeing Zhao Wanqiu wanting to stay but having to leave, Song Qingxue felt really good.

Not long after Zhao Wanqiu left, Xiahou Chongyuan returned home.

Today he did not go to communicate with Mo Weixin, but entered the palace early in the morning and has been busy until almost dark.

Song Qingxue felt that Xiahou Chongyuan was quite strange today. Usually, when he came back from the palace, he would go straight to the study, or he would be called by Mo Weixin to visit the garden.

But today, as soon as he came back, he went to find Song Qingxue first.

He was so angry that he wanted to kill her. It was even more terrifying than the last time he caught her cheating.

Song Qingxue looked at him speechless. She didn't understand why Xiahou Chongyuan pinched her neck as soon as he came back and questioned her like crazy.

Although Xiahou Chongyuan calmed down and let her go later, she was still extremely scared.

Because she was too scared, Song Qingxue's mind was blank. Xiahou Chongyuan didn't know what she was thinking at this time, so the two of them were in a stalemate for a long time.

It was not until Xiahou Chongyuan discovered that his face was frighteningly pale that he suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart.

He was indeed impulsive today, and without knowing anything, he almost cost Song Qingxue's life.

Thinking about this, Xiahou Chongyuan said stiffly: "Just now, I was wrong."

Song Qingxue couldn't say "It doesn't matter".

When Xiahou Chongyuan pinched her just now, she really thought she was going to die.

Seeing that she looked silent, Xiahou Chongyuan explained, "Something happened in the court, and the people I sent out found that it was related to Zhao Wanqiu."

Song Qingxue bit her lip, trying to calm the fear in her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "So, Your Majesty, do you think I leaked something?"

Xiahou Chongyuan was speechless.

He really thought so at first.

After all, he knew everything about Song Qingxue and Zhao Wanqiu's past dealings. Given their relationship, it was possible that Song Qingxue would tell Zhao Wanqiu everything.

He overlooked that the Song Qingxue in front of him was no longer the same person.

Song Qingxue lowered her eyes, not wanting to pursue anything else, and just asked: "What happened in the court to make you so angry, Your Majesty?"

Xiahou Chongyuan always had some reservations about her, so he frowned and said hesitantly: "Why are you asking these questions?"

Song Qingxue said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm not asking this to tip off Zhao Wanqiu. I just want to make a deal with Your Majesty."

"Hmm? What's the deal?"

"I had a good relationship with Zhao Wanqiu before, and I know some things that may be useful to you. I can help you stabilize the situation, but after that, you have to divorce me."
