"The little princess is still young, madam. She probably can't understand our conversation."

Princess Qi Yang smiled lightly at first, but the meaning directed at Jiang Qingqing in her words had completely surfaced.

Jiang Chen was originally being led into the conversation and was almost ready to treat Princess Qi Yang as a good friend.

But when the Third Prince heard Qi Yang's contemptuous remarks about his sister, his expression suddenly darkened.

He took a step sideways, walked towards Jiang Qingqing, and said coldly to Princess Qiyang: "You can look down on others, but you can't say that about my sister."

Neither Jiang Qingqing nor Concubine Zhao expected Jiang Chen to react so strongly.

This resolute and protective look made Jiang Qingqing very happy. It turned out that her protection of Jiang Chen these days was not in vain!

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally somewhat pleasant atmosphere instantly fell to freezing point.

Princess Qi Yang had just had such a pleasant chat with the Third Prince that she almost thought she could pull the Third Prince into her camp. However, such a sudden protection made Princess Qi Yang panic for a moment.

Jiang Qingqing suppressed her inner ecstasy and said calmly, "I am very confident in the areas governed by my father. I believe that every area of ​​Tianqi is peaceful and prosperous."

It was the first time that Jiang Qingqing met a stranger, and she didn't want to make the situation too ugly. But Princess Qi Yang belittled her so directly that she couldn't understand.

Jiang Qingqing couldn't help it.

"Cousin Qi Yang must have come all the way to Kyoto. She must have been exhausted. Remember to rest more often and don't overwork yourself." Jiang Qingqing's chubby little face was filled with a bright and sweet smile.

The words were spoken very beautifully, and because she was only a five-year-old child, no one felt that Jiang Qingqing's words were particularly targeted.

Even Jiang Chen felt that his sister had such a good temper.

Concubine Zhao saw that the flames of war were visibly rising. She had always wanted to live a low-key life and absolutely did not like such troubles, not to mention that they were still in her palace. She immediately found an excuse, saying that she was not feeling well, and issued a tactful order to expel them.

Jiang Qingqing didn't understand why Princess Qi Yang was so hostile to her, but if someone offends me, I will return them.

The grudge between Princess Qi Yang and Jiang Qingqing has been completely settled.

After losing face in front of Jiang Chen, Princess Qi Yang did not stay in front of Jiang Chen for a moment longer. She left Chuxiu Palace without even saying goodbye and turned to walk towards Qiankun Palace.

Jiang Qingqing stood at the gate of Chuxiu Palace, looking at Princess Qi Yang in her plain clothes, and always felt that something was not right.

Jiang Chen stood aside with his arms folded across his chest. He was still immersed in the anger that Princess Qi Yang had actually spoken ill of his sister in front of him.

"When the Imperial Grandmother was still alive, she was the most beloved by her, so she was often brought into the palace and raised as a princess. But after only two or three years, does she think she is the most honorable princess? It's ridiculous."

Jiang Chen's words cleared up all the doubts in Jiang Qingqing's heart.

No wonder Princess Qi Yang is so hostile to her.

She thought she was supposed to be loved and respected, but the little princess took it all away from her.

"Then why did she leave Kyoto?" Jiang Qingqing originally didn't want to take the initiative to find out about these things.

But on second thought, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle.

Jiang Chen touched his smooth jaw. "After the Imperial Grandmother passed away, she expressed in front of my father that she was willing to guard the Imperial Mausoleum for two years to express her gratitude for the Imperial Grandmother's love for her."

"But if you count it, she has been in the imperial mausoleum for more than two years. You are five years old now, so she has been in the imperial mausoleum for at least four or five years, right?" Jiang Chen didn't know much about Princess Qi Yang, at most he only knew a little bit about her.

But for Jiang Qingqing, this is already a lot.

She was supposed to go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the casket for two years, but inexplicably stayed away for three more years. Either something happened, or she had no intention of coming back, but because of some problems, she had to return to Kyoto.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingqing looked at and pondered Princess Qi Yang a little more.

The brother and sister returned to Huaning Palace and rested as usual.

The next day, just as the sun rose, Jiang Qingqing was not awakened by the palace servants for the first time.

She first looked at the bright sunshine outside the window with sleepy eyes, then was stunned for three seconds and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Oh no, I overslept."

With a bad premonition in her heart, Jiang Qingqing quickly turned over and hurried out of the bedroom in soft shoes. Just as she passed Jiang Chen's room, she saw Jiang Chen sitting leisurely in his seat, wiping his precious sword.

It was rare to see Jiang Chen in such a leisurely state, and Jiang Qingqing's panic suddenly subsided.

Hearing the noise outside the house, Jiang Chen looked up and saw Jiang Qingqing standing in the yard wearing only underwear and with messy hair.

Jiang Chen had never seen such a royal sister before. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Why are you so flustered? Hahaha, didn't anyone tell you yesterday that the Imperial College is closed today?" Jiang Chen put down the sword in his hand, and his laughter was so gloating.

Jiang Qingqing realized this matter the moment she saw Jiang Chen.

She was no longer panicked and turned back to her bedroom.

Jiang Chen followed her, and she was about to step in. Jiang Qingqing turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with a stern face, and said very seriously: "Don't laugh anymore."

"Why?" Looking at his sister's serious look, Jiang Chen still had a smile in his eyes, but he restrained it a little to cooperate with her.

Jiang Qingqing reached out and picked at her own cochlea. "No reason, it's just that your laughter disturbed me."

After saying this, Jiang Qingqing entered the bedroom. Seeing this, the palace maid at the door hurriedly followed her into the palace.

Jiang Chen's smile froze on his face. He stood at the door for about half a minute, and then Jiang Qingqing came out after washing up, still with a bun like rabbit ears on her head.

"Why are you still standing here? It's a rare day off, why don't you go out and play?" Jiang Qingqing looked at Jiang Chen strangely and asked curiously.

Since she kicked Han Qiming out of the Imperial College yesterday, Jiang Qingqing felt a little relieved about the oppression in the palace.

Jiang Chen leaned against the pillar with his arms folded across his chest. Seeing that his sister had packed up, he stretched out a hand and hooked his finger at her.

Jiang Qingqing: “?”

"Just now, Concubine Zhao sent someone over again, saying that she has something new for us to see. Go to Chuxiu Palace."

In recent days, I can always see Concubine Zhao. Thinking of the bad memories of going to Chuxiu Palace yesterday, Jiang Qingqing is a little reluctant to go.

Seeing that the little girl was unwilling to come over, Jiang Chen shook his hand and let her hold it.

"I went to Chuxiu Palace again. Yesterday, that Princess Qiyang was being weird to me. Who is it today?"

Jiang Qingqing walked forward muttering to herself, completely ignoring Jiang Chen's hand which was trying to make his presence felt.

Jiang Chen: You hold the emperor's uncle's hand so naturally, why can't you hold mine? ?
