Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the poem on the scroll and couldn't help but pursed his lips and chanted softly, "When I feel emotional, I comb my hair in front of the mirror. The flowers are laughing at my sorrow. I walk alone and talk alone at the end of Qujiang River. After the bell of Changle rings, I ride home."

A comfortable voice came, and the person who made fun of Xiangbi Pool saw Zongzheng Xiaoting. Although he had never seen Zongzheng Xiaoting before, his aura and natural elegance made people feel terrified. Ningshuang hurried over and saluted Zongzheng Xiaoting, "I pay my respects to the princess."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present bowed and saluted, and Xiang Bichi and others also knelt down in panic.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and walked closer to the Xiangbi Pool accompanied by Qingqing, and then said in a deep voice, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Princess!"

Qingqing cast a look at Ningshuang, and then followed Zongzheng Xiaoting obediently. The princess had already signaled Ningshuang to leave her alone, just to see if these so-called talented women were mules or horses. Unexpectedly, in this deep family, there is never a shortage of intrigue.

"What do you think of this painting?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked without even looking at the two people who were mocking Xiang Bichi, but just stared at the painting.

The two people being questioned looked at each other nervously.

Princess Xiaoting must have heard what they said just now, right? Now, what should they say so as not to disgust the princess?

Of course, those who ridiculed others still had some brains, and after struggling for a while, they came up with a plan.

"To answer the princess, Xiang Bi Chi has ulterior motives. Princess, think about it. We all know that the princess wants to select people with superb painting skills. We are gathered here and everyone knows what to show. But princess, none of us is so impatient."

"Yes, Princess, you should know that there are thousands of cryptic poems, and this person actually secretly loves someone. I wonder if he loves the current emperor or Prince Zhan? But I think that the emperor's face has never been seen, so only Prince Zhan, every time he returns from the battle, countless people rush to watch. Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone."

As soon as the two finished speaking, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's smile deepened. Xiangbichi? Well, the name is indeed intriguing. However, since they are not the new human beings of the 21st century, this name should still have a beautiful poetic meaning, right?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's smile was warm and gentle only at this moment, but he was not happy because of what the two said, but he couldn't help laughing at the word "bitch".

However, the ignorant gossip felt very proud when she saw the princess like this.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Xiang Bichi who had been silent the whole time, smiled, and raised his beautiful eyes, "Your name is Xiang Bichi?"

"Yes!" A neither humble nor arrogant voice came out of Xiang Bichi's mouth.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the person in front of her, and was somewhat surprised by her pride. Facing the powerful, in this world, she was still a woman, but she couldn't help but look at him with new eyes. That's why she became interested, "I want to know, do you have anything to say about these two?"

Hearing this, Xiang Bichi just raised her head. Zong Zheng Xiaoting saw her appearance only then. She could only say that Xiang Bichi looked a little more mature. Originally, seeing the two of them making things difficult, she also thought that Xiang Bichi must be someone who would betray the country and the city, but she never thought that she was so plain-looking. And despite being so plain-looking, she still had such arrogance emanating from her body, which was rare. Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Xiang Bichi and only then heard her voice, "To reply to the princess, a noble person should respect himself. I have always believed that a person who is innocent is innocent. The mouth is on someone else's body. I don't care what they say. I just be myself, and that's enough. As for the voice, I don't think there is anything to say."

Qingqing and Ningshuang looked at Xiang Bichi's attitude and felt a little displeased with this man, but when they saw that their master seemed to look at Xiang Bichi differently, they swallowed their words of instruction.

The two women who were mocking Xiang Bichi were also arrogant and angry at this moment, "Princess, look at this attitude, being so arrogant to the princess, aren't they trying to make things difficult for her?"

“That’s right…”

Before he finished speaking, Zong Zheng Xiaoting glanced at them sideways, and the two people who were chattering were instantly frightened. The change of this princess was really too fast. Who could have thought that the princess who was smiling like a flower just now would now exude such a domineering aura that was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe?

They were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, "Princess... please forgive me..."

The trembling words could no longer be uttered fluently. Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned, "What I hate most is people who stir up trouble and like to cause trouble. What do you think the Zhan Palace is?"

"Princess, please forgive me!"

"Why don't I think you know your crime?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows. "I do intend to select the right person to present to the emperor, but the selection of concubines is based on virtue. You two have just arrived at the palace, and you are so arrogant and trying to cause trouble. If you are in the harem, won't you become even more aggressive? Qingqing, get them out of here."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting gave an order, and naturally the two men cried and begged for mercy. She frowned, and when the other party was about to grab her skirt, she felt a gust of wind swept past. Nighthawk was about to take a step forward, but when he saw his master, he stood back.

"It's the prince!" Someone among the talented women whispered secretly.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was wrapped in his arms, frowned even more tightly. She lowered her voice and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course, it's to see how good the princess's skills are." Situ Xunxiao whispered in Zongzheng Xiaoting's ear. The intimate behavior between the two caught the eyes of everyone present, and they were immediately envied.

Xiang Bi Chi, who was standing aside, just looked at Situ Xunxiao from a distance, with expectation in her eyes.

"Who gave you such courage? Can you touch my princess casually?" Situ Xunxiao raised his eyes and looked at the person kneeling on the ground with a cold gaze.

Listening to Situ Xunxiao's words and feeling the hand on his waist trembling slightly, Zongzheng Xiaoting began to wonder. Could it be that these two people were also sent by Gong Yunfei? With his eyes closed, Zongzheng Xiaoting thought about the two people from the moment he came in until now. After all, if they were not looking for trouble, why would they make things so difficult for Xiang Bichi, who was not good-looking?

She looked up at Situ Xunxiao, and in those murderous eyes, she got the answer she guessed. What a Gong Yunfei! Zong Zheng Xiaoting sneered.
