The closer they got to the imperial study, the less nervous Song Qianning felt, and the calmer and more composed she became.
After all, she is a fish that grew up among gods and has seen countless gods.
She had seen so many gods and immortals, and there was nothing to be afraid of about the emperors of the mortal world. They were just like ordinary people, with two eyes and a nose.
As a result, Song Qianning's nervousness subsided, and she became more curious and eager to try it.
In the past, she had only read about him in storybooks and heard others talk about him. This was the first time she had seen an emperor in person.
"How long will it take to get to the Imperial Study?"
The eunuch led the way and said to Song Qianning respectfully, "Miss Song, the imperial study is in front. His Majesty is inside."
Following the eunuch to the door of the imperial study, before she could continue walking, an arrogant female voice came from the front: "The people in front, stop for me!"
Realizing that the words seemed to be directed at her group, Song Qianning looked up at the direction where the voice came from.
What appeared in her sight was a beautiful woman wearing a palace skirt, with an arrogant look on her face, looking at her with a squint.
The woman stood up and walked towards Song Qianning. Finally, she stopped not far in front of her and looked down at her. "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you in the palace before?"
While Song Qianning was looking at the woman, the woman was also looking at her, and her look was particularly open and aboveboard.
When her eyes fell on Song Qianning's exquisite face, the woman, who already looked unhappy, felt even worse.
A hint of annoyance flashed across the depths of the woman's eyes, mixed with a hint of unconscious jealousy. She did not hide her dislike for Song Qianning at all: "Why don't you answer this princess's question?"
The woman looked her up and down, not hiding her arrogance at all, and looked at her as if she were a servant.
Without waiting for her to answer, the woman narrowed her eyes, her face showing even more disgust, and her voice was filled with sarcasm: "You look like a foxy woman. You don't even know who this princess is. Could you be a new concubine in the palace?"
"That's right. Apart from the new concubines who entered the palace, no one else would look so vixen-like."
The eunuch who led Song Qianning saw the Sixth Princess and was so anxious that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Not daring to delay, he hurried forward and carefully saluted the woman, his voice trembling: "Greetings to the Sixth Princess, this is Miss Song, the future princess of the Regent, not a new concubine."
After explaining Song Qianning's identity to the Sixth Princess, the eunuch looked at Song Qianning again and introduced her, "Miss Song, this is the Sixth Princess."
Upon learning that the person in front of her was the Sixth Princess, Song Qianning simply raised her eyebrows. She was not overly surprised, but rather felt that it was as she expected.
When she heard the woman's self-introduction just now, she had a rough guess.
Anyone who can be so arrogant and call herself a princess in the palace or outside the imperial study must be a princess without a doubt.
Unlike Song Qianning's calmness, after learning about her identity and her relationship with Qin Ye from the eunuch, the Sixth Princess's expression became visibly ugly.
His entire face was as dark as ink, several times worse than before. The look in his eyes when he looked at Song Qianning was filled with resentment and jealousy so strong that it was about to turn into substance.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Is she the woman the Regent asked for marriage?"
Sensing the Sixth Princess's anger, the eunuch shuddered, but dared not not answer, and replied with a trembling "Yes".
The eunuch, shivering with his head down, secretly regretted in his heart that if he had known that the Sixth Princess, his ancestor, was also outside the imperial study, he would have come later.
After receiving the definite answer from the eunuch, the Sixth Princess's face darkened several shades and her hands clenched instantly.
Not long after Qin Ye brought Song Qianning back, the news that he had brought a strange woman back home spread.
After the last banquet, many more people in the capital knew about Song Qianning's existence.
She also publicly requested the emperor to grant her the marriage. Not long after the marriage was granted, the news spread throughout the upper circles of the capital.
It can be said that the entire capital city knew everything that should and should not be known, including the Sixth Princess.
When the Sixth Princess first learned that Qin Ye had asked the Emperor for permission to marry her and that the Emperor had agreed, she became extremely angry.
Including coming to the Imperial Study today, it is to ask the Emperor to revoke his order.
How could a lowly woman who came from nowhere be worthy of the wise and powerful Regent? She was not even worthy of being his concubine or maid!
With this idea in mind, the Sixth Princess went to the Emperor and asked him to cancel the engagement between Qin Ye and Song Qianning.
As a result, when she went to ask the emperor to revoke his order, the emperor not only did not agree, but also scolded her severely.
Thinking of the emperor's scolding in the imperial study, and looking at Song Qianning in front of her, the Sixth Princess's anger and jealousy reached its peak, and the look in her eyes was like a knife.
My father is really getting old and confused. A person who is not worthy of being the regent in any way is not qualified to be his princess!
If looks could kill, the Sixth Princess would have killed Song Qianning a thousand times with her glare.
Song Qianning was so perceptive, and the Sixth Princess hadn't concealed her dislike for her at all, so she had to be blind not to notice.
When Song Qianning saw the Sixth Princess looking at her with a dagger-like look, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
What's wrong with this Sixth Princess? When we first met, she looked like she wanted to eat me. If you didn't know me, you would think I owed her a lot of silver.
Looking at Song Qianning, who was not dressed up but still looked exquisite and beautiful, the Sixth Princess almost bit her silver teeth to pieces.
How could a woman who only had beauty but no other qualities be worthy of being with the Regent? And as the principal wife, at that?
Unable to conceal her anger, the Sixth Princess looked at Song Qianning sarcastically: "Oh, who was it I thought you were? It turns out you are the woman who followed the Regent from a small place."
As she spoke, she covered her nose with her hand, looking disgusted: "No wonder you smell so petty. I can smell it from a long way away."
Whenever the Sixth Princess thought of Song Qianning and Qin Ye's engagement, she would look at her with displeasure, as if she wanted to gouge her to death with her eyes.
After the taunt, the still unsatisfied Sixth Princess snorted again, "Why don't you kneel when you see me?"
"As an ordinary person, being able to see this princess is a blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes, yet you don't know how to behave properly. You have no manners at all!"
"Even if you are the future Princess Regent, you are not yet one yet. You still need to kneel and salute when you see me."
After scolding Song Qianning for several sentences, the Sixth Princess said condescendingly, "Kneel down before me now. Wait for an hour, and then stand up when I feel better."
