Chapter 114 That was her most shameful day
Princess Yuan's expression gradually changed.
Her eyes widened slightly, and her eyes gradually turned red as she looked at Qin Mingzhu.
That was a sign of anger rising to the top of one's head.
She had taken the initiative to express her love to Yan Fengxiao. With her status as a princess, she could have any man she wanted!
That was the most humiliating day of her life!
She asked a man to marry her in front of many people, which eventually led to her losing face. No one came to her house to propose marriage again.
For the past three years, Princess Yuan has been waiting. She thinks that although Yan Fengxiao rejected her, there are no other women around him. In this case, maybe it’s not that he doesn’t like her, but that he is not interested in women in the short term.
She could accept this outcome.
But he couldn't accept it... Yan Fengxiao, who had rejected him, was about to marry another woman!
It would be fine if this woman was a princess, more noble than herself, and as beautiful as an angel, so that she could not compare to her at all.
Although she would be jealous, she would not do anything.
But the key point is that after she made a little inquiry about Yan Fengxiao's new wife, she was shocked.
A second wife who was kicked out of the house just one year after getting married...
Even had a baby!
Although she looks okay, why should such a woman with a rotten reputation, who is not even as good as a hair of hers, be Yan Fengxiao's wife?
Princess Yuan, whose sore spot was touched, could no longer contain her anger and raised her hand to slap Qin Mingzhu.
Qin Mingzhu looked up and saw this, and without hesitation, she slapped the other person in the face.
So what if she's a princess?
The one she beat today was the princess!
As the current commander-in-chief of the three armies and the wife of Yan Fengxiao, the governor of Yanjing Prefecture, if she does not live up to her expectations and is bullied by others, it means that she is incompetent.
Yan Fengxiao was fighting outside, and his wife who stayed in the capital was bullied and suppressed at will. She didn't believe that anyone would dare to say a word against her today.
The crisp sound of slapping rang out.
Qin Mingzhu still had a smile on her lips, her eyes curved into crescents. She looked at the Princess of Prince Lian's Mansion who was stunned by her blow and said, "If there is something wrong with your mind, I will help you wake up today."
Princess Yuan came back to her senses, her eyes trembling: "You dare... hit me?"
Qin Mingzhu raised her eyebrows: "It was the princess who raised her hand first. I just moved faster than you. I'm sure the sisters around saw it clearly. I hit you, but I just took the initiative."
Upon hearing this, the others shut up instantly and lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
Princess Yuan is the only daughter of Prince Lian, the apple of his eye. Except that her status is slightly lower than that of a princess, she is a true princess!
Wen Wanning, who was following Qin Mingzhu, moved the corners of her lips, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Her eyes, as soft as autumn water, were a little red at this moment.
She seemed to have mustered up her courage before lowering her head and saying, "I saw... I saw it. It was indeed the princess who made the first move..."
Princess Yuan glanced at Wen Wanning.
That look was very scary.
She was obviously not good at verbal arguments, so she just turned her head and glared at Qin Mingzhu.
"Someone come!"
"The servant is here."
The two palace maids behind her immediately stepped forward and saluted Princess Yuan.
Princess Yuan gently wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand. Qin Mingzhu had slapped her so hard that half of her left face was numb.
"Catch her."
Princess Yuan spoke in a calm voice as she gave orders to the palace maids around her.
In her mind, she had already thought of countless ways to let Qin Mingzhu know the consequences of offending her.
Even the princesses and princes in the palace were polite to her and usually didn't dare to say a harsh word to her. She had learned a lot, as it was the first time she had seen a woman dare to hit her...
"As you command!"
The two palace maids, who looked strong at first glance, rushed straight towards Qin Mingzhu and were about to take action.
However, Qin Mingzhu just stood there with a smile, looking at Princess Yuan motionlessly.
Just when the two palace maids were about to touch Qin Mingzhu's clothes, the entire hall seemed to become quiet at this moment. The sound of stringed instruments that originally resounded throughout the hall disappeared, and the dancers also stopped moving.
It was just because the emperor sitting at the top waved his hand at them with a face as cold as water.
"Yan Qingyuan!"
This is Princess Yuan's name.
Princess Yuan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned her head to look at the person who called her name.
Seeing the emperor sitting at the front of the banquet speaking, Princess Yuan quickly bowed her head and saluted, "Uncle Emperor!"
The Southern Yan Emperor slowly spoke: "What are you doing over there?"
Princess Yuan looked somewhat flustered.
She was not even afraid of her own father, but what she feared most was the Emperor of Southern Yan, who looked serious and extremely majestic on weekdays.
"In reply to Uncle Huang, Qingyuan has heard of Madam Qin's reputation and wants to meet her in person."
Qin Mingzhu stepped forward, stood beside Princess Yuan, and bowed upwards, saying in a calm voice, "Your Majesty, it is indeed so. Princess Yuan simply came over to greet me with a slap and had two palace maids restrain me. I don't understand the palace rules and never thought I would have to do this when meeting someone, so I followed Princess Yuan's wishes and returned the greeting first."
What Qin Mingzhu meant by returning the gift first was that she was the first to hit Princess Yuan.
Princess Yuan was almost vomiting blood because of Qin Mingzhu's words.
Her chest heaved violently, her eyes were full of anger, and even her speech was a little incoherent.
"You...are simply making up stories!"
Qin Mingzhu turned her head and glanced at Princess Yuan with a relaxed and natural expression, yet a hint of doubt.
"Could it be so? Did the princess come to me to question me?"
Princess Yuan gritted her teeth and felt a sweet and fishy taste in her mouth.
She never expected that she just came here to intimidate the other party, but in the end, she couldn't get any benefits from Qin Mingzhu either verbally or physically.
Without waiting for an answer from Princess Yuan who was glaring at her angrily, Qin Mingzhu raised her head, the smile on her face disappeared, and she looked seriously at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne above.
"Your Majesty, I don't know how I offended Princess Yuan, causing her to attack me the moment we met. Although I am of humble status, I am the wife you personally bestowed upon Commander Yan. Commander Yan is currently leading his army into battle, risking his life for the territory and people of Southern Yan. Is it inappropriate to treat his fiancée this way?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Southern Yan's expression became even colder.
His voice was hoarse but stern, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, his coldness biting into his bones: "Yan Qingyuan, you are so brave!"
The moment Princess Yuan heard the scolding, she felt her legs go weak.
The next moment, she knelt on the ground with a thud, and her face gradually turned pale. She looked at her father with pleading eyes.
