Just when Zong Zheng Xiaoting was doubting Zong Zheng Yunchun's intentions, the crown prince Zhuge Feiyang also appeared in front of Zong Zheng Yunchun, "Crown Princess, please return in a hurry. Please don't lose your manners in front of your father. You must know that you are no longer the princess of Luozha Kingdom."
Zhuge Feiyang's words were neither heavy nor light, but just right for Zongzheng Xiaoting to hear. As Situ Xunxiao and Nangong Muxi were chatting, Zongzheng Xiaoting was a few steps away from them at the moment. She could hear Zhuge Feiyang's words, but Situ Xunxiao might not be able to hear them. Moreover, if they didn't know that she and Zongzheng Yunchun had a grudge, I'm afraid no one would take Zhuge Feiyang's words to heart. These words were hinting to her that her sister was now the Crown Princess, and she, the Princess of Zhan, should not lose her sense of proportion.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Yun Chun's face and just gave a shy smile in response to Zhuge Feiyang's words. His look was truly pitiful.
The current Zong Zheng Yun Chun is indeed much more powerful than before. It's just a short period of time, but there has been such a big change. In the past, he could only fight alone, but now, he has learned to calculate the time, place and people. With his eyelashes fluttering slightly, Zong Zheng Xiaoting secretly looked at the prince and Yun Chun in front of the crowd. It must be said that if he didn't understand micro-expressions and noticed the subtle changes in Zong Zheng Yun Chun's movements, he would really think that the two of them were in love with each other.
The more someone wanted to suppress him, the more unhappy Zong Zheng Xiaoting was. It was gratifying. Subconsciously, Zong Zheng Xiaoting glanced at Situ Xunxiao, only to see him give him a firm look, and then lowered his head to talk to Nangong Muxi.
The words that Situ Xunxiao said when they were in the Regent's Villa could not help but emerge in my mind.
The words that she had to be able to bear it kept echoing in her ears. Since her iceberg was so confident, why didn't she take a look at what the big iceberg was going to do. With the eagerness to try, Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and walked towards Zong Zheng Yunchun.
Before he could speak, Zongzheng Xiaoting slightly bent his knees, and then he heard Zongzheng Yunchun scream and fell to the ground. This kneeling was so sudden that one could clearly hear the loud sound of bones hitting the ground. "Imperial sister, what are you doing?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting pretended to be surprised, his eyes widened, he quickly bent down and helped Zong Zheng Yunchun up.
"The Crown Princess just twisted her ankle." Zhuge Feiyang came to her rescue.
However, the title of Crown Princess was also meant to remind Zong Zheng Xiaoting of etiquette. Zong Zheng Xiaoting pretended to understand and nodded, "This princess really forgot that the emperor's sister is now the Crown Princess, and she hasn't even paid her respects to the Crown Princess yet."
When Zong Zheng Xiaoting was speaking, some people around him gradually noticed him. Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up straight and made a gesture to salute, but he saw Zong Zheng Yunchun, who had just stood, lost his balance again and knelt down again. Seeing this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting could not help but glance at Situ Xunxiao who was walking towards him.
Zhuge Feiyang was anxious, and hurriedly helped Zongzheng Yunchun up, but he saw Zongzheng Yunchun shook her head towards him, held Zhuge Feiyang's hand, and stood up reluctantly, "My sister is too polite, why should we be so polite as sisters? Besides, my father has always promised my sister not to be fussy about trivial matters."
Zong Zheng Yunchun's words were meant to be sarcastic, and most people who heard this would naturally want to prove that they were not such rude people, so they would be submissive and servile. Even if Zong Zheng Xiaoting was not allowed to kneel and lose face, it would be fine. However, while he was talking, Situ Xunxiao and Nangong Muxi also came over.
"In Luozha country, the princess is the treasure of Zongzheng Weimo, but in my Yunguang country, she is the apple of my eye. This person is always like this when he is pleasing to others. Even in the Zhanwang Mansion, the princess's dignity still surpasses my dignity. I didn't expect that the Crown Princess is so fond of my princess, and like me, she doesn't care about red tape." The person who said this expressionlessly was arrogant. As soon as he said this, he found the best platform for Zongzheng Xiaoting and slapped Zongzheng Yunchun hard. Everyone knows that the status of the Zhanwang is just a superficial courtesy to the emperor even in Yunguang country. In the eyes of the Zhanwang, even the emperor doesn't kneel, let alone a crown prince.
More importantly, they had indeed heard a lot of rumors about how the Zhan Wang and his wife only gave a slight salute to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and never showed great courtesy to the subjects. At this moment, with the Zhan Wang's help, no one dared to say anything about Zong Zheng Xiaoting's arrogance. However, the Crown Princess's words that she felt sorry for the Princess dragged her into the water as well.
Zong Zheng Yunchun's face was somewhat embarrassed. The War King did not care about other people's opinions when he acted, so his indifference to red tape was seen by outsiders as the generosity of a man with great military achievements. But what about her? As the future queen mother, did the Crown Princess also disregard etiquette?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting laughed secretly, but he kept a proper smile on his face. "The Crown Princess and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I thought I didn't know when we would meet again. I was so excited that it reminded me of the little things we did together in the palace."
A moment of excitement?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Zong Zheng Yunchun even more angry. Was it necessary for him to do this and deliberately remind everyone how rude his embarrassment was just now?
However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting did not intend to give up. "But etiquette cannot be abandoned. Xiaoting will not forget our respective identities at this moment. I have met the Crown Princess."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting stopped talking and bowed, but...
Zong Zheng Yunchun knelt down again. Even though he held the prince's hand tightly, he still couldn't avoid kneeling on both knees, "Royal sister... don't..."
The words blurted out because of the pain made Zong Zheng Yunchun want to bite off her tongue. Every time Zong Zheng Xiaoting wanted to kneel, she was always forced to kneel by the strong force. It must be Zong Zheng Xiaoting who was playing tricks! However, now that she had said this, even if Zong Zheng Xiaoting didn't say anything, I'm afraid everyone would think that because Zong Zheng Xiaoting knelt to her, she was used to the etiquette of equals and knelt to her too, right?
As a princess consort, I'm afraid she is not aware of the overall situation at this moment.
Zongzheng Xiaoting pretended to be kind and helped Zongzheng Yunchun up, but he heard the Prince Regent on the side say in displeasure, "Crown Princess, you must understand that we are now in Tianxi Country, not Luozha Country."
Nangong Muxi put away his usual wicked smile and looked at the Crown Princess seriously with an unpleasant expression.
