Princess Duan felt a surge of inexplicable anger rising up. Could it be that her own prince wasn't the only one thinking this? It was indeed possible. Meng Qi had dared to break off her engagement with Zhou Yu for another man before she even got married. What else wouldn't she dare do?
Thinking of this, Princess Duan's eyes were blazing with anger. She took two steps forward and asked, "Why, do you feel that your eyes are not enough?"
Meng Qi withdrew her thoughts and turned to look at Princess Duan, who was a head shorter than her. "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? I'm saying, are you blind? Isn't it enough to just look at your own man? I'm telling you, don't think you can hook up with other men just because you're pretty. You've done a lot of harm to Mr. Hong San, and Mr. Zhou Er as well. Poor Prince Rui had no choice but to accept you, a fallen woman. If you dare to have other thoughts, I'll expose your true face and let everyone see your true face."
Meng Qi was completely confused by the harsh words spoken by Princess Duan. Following Princess Duan's slightly uneasy gaze, Meng Qi suddenly understood why she had been targeting him today, or rather, why she had always been targeting him.
Could it be the Prince of Duan? No, that was impossible. Why would Prince Duan have such thoughts about me? Could it be that he was trying to use me to scheme against Song Chengze, paying more attention to me, and causing Princess Duan to misunderstand?
Yes, it is possible. Princess Duan is very smart. She can see through all these things, which really overestimates her.
Looking at Meng Zhi who was helping the Crown Princess down the curved corridor, Meng Qi suddenly had an idea.
Meng Qi raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly. All the princes are here today. Tell them and let them judge for themselves."
Princess Duan regretted her words the moment she finished speaking. It was all just her conjecture. First, she saw Prince Duan staring at Meng Qi, and now Meng Qi was staring at Prince Duan without blinking. She didn't believe Meng Qi was looking at Song Chengze. How could a couple who saw each other every day look at each other so intently? So, her mind went blank as she spoke those words.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't say anything, but the eldest daughter of the Meng family is a gangster. She embarrassed herself in the palace last time, so she naturally wouldn't let it go easily this time.
It was her own carelessness that caused her to lose her temper. But having said that, if she retreated at this moment, it would only bring disgrace to the Prince Duan's Mansion, and the prince would not forgive her.
"I, you know what I'm talking about." Princess Duan stiffened her neck and tried to pass by her. But Meng Qi stood right in the middle, motionless.
The winding corridor leading to the octagonal pavilion above the lake was not very wide, and could barely accommodate two people.
Meng Qi was walking at the back. She thought everyone was in the front, but Princess Duan was at the back.
Seeing Meng Qi standing still, Princess Duan felt overwhelmed. As everyone walked into the octagonal pavilion, even her own prince who was talking to Prince Rui looked at her with a frown. Princess Duan regretted it to death. Why did he choose such a time to say these things to her?
Princess Cheng looked at the two people standing in the middle of the curved corridor like fighting cocks, frowned and wanted to come over, but Meng Zhi pulled her sleeve and said, "Go, the Crown Prince and the Prince still need you."
Princess Cheng turned around and saw Prince Cheng standing with the Crown Prince, already looking displeased. After a moment's thought, she nodded, "At least appease him first and don't confront Princess Rui head-on."
Meng Zhi nodded, murmured, and walked towards the two of them. Meng Qi saw Meng Zhi coming from the corner of her eye and breathed a sigh of relief. She was really smart and knew how to seize the opportunity.
Princess Duan was delighted when she saw Meng Zhi approaching. She said loudly, "You've come at the perfect time. Please try to persuade your sister. It's unreasonable for her to stand in the middle of the road. This isn't Prince Rui's residence."
Meng Zhi walked over and bowed to Princess Duan. "Every family has its own customs. Although Princess Rui and I both have the surname Meng, this has never happened in my family. Never mind your status as princess, just because you're my brother's wife, even a few words of advice, a few scoldings, or a few spankings are considered teachings from you."
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Princess Duan would have laughed out loud three times. This Meng Zhi is really a wonderful person. She never misses the opportunity to make fun of Meng.
"I agree with what you said. There are so many girls in the Meng family, so naturally each one is different. I heard that the one who married into the Hong family of the Viscount's Mansion is also very good." Princess Duan said to Meng Zhi, but her eyes were on Meng Qi.
Seeing Meng Qi suddenly raise her head when she mentioned the Hong family, her sharp eyes slashing at her like knives, she felt extremely proud. Well, this was her weakness. If she ever displeased her in the future, no matter what the prince thought, she would bring up Hong Zhe and make her lose face.
Before Meng Qi could reply, Meng Zhi said quietly, "It's difficult for me to respond to you mentioning this. I don't want to say much about the affairs of the Huainan Marquis' Mansion. There are so many girls in total, and they are engaged and retired in a mess. The ones I like can't marry, and the ones I don't like have to marry. Oh, it will be so lively to sit together during the holidays in the future. It's a pity that my status is too low, so I can't see such a scene." After saying this, she covered her mouth with a fan and smiled at Meng Qi.
Meng Qi's face flushed red. "Meng Zhi, what do you mean? What do you mean you can't marry the one you like, but you have to marry the one you don't like?"
"Miss Fourth is pretending to be ignorant even though she knows the truth. Everyone knows what happened back then. Mr. Hong was being pursued by someone and he said he didn't dare go out in the daytime, fearing that he would be intercepted by some chivalrous woman and become her forced husband."
Princess Duan couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this. Before she could say anything else, she heard a "pop". She looked up and saw Meng Zhi covering the left side of her face and looking at Meng Qi in disbelief.
