Perhaps knowing that the Qionghua Palace was guarded by imperial guards, Princess Ningxiang brought a lot of people with her this time.
He gave a wink and the person behind him immediately stepped forward to stop Chen Xiao who wanted to stand in front.
Princess Ningxiang walked straight up to Qiqing and slapped her hand in his face.
"Hmph, a bitch who doesn't even dare to show her true face! How dare you dream of becoming the Crown Princess of my Shang Kingdom?"
"Ah! Don't hit Sister Yu..." Belle hugged Qiqing in her arms, wanting to use her body to block for Qiqing.
Seeing that the slap was about to hit Belle on the head, Princess Ningxiang did not stop at all.
There was even a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Belle..." Seeing that his precious daughter was about to be beaten, Chen Xiao was stopped by the people brought by Princess Ningxiang.
His face suddenly turned pale and he shouted urgently.
A trace of murderous intent flashed in his purple eyes. He turned around while holding Belle, but his body was hurt and he paused for a moment.
Princess Ningxiang's fingers scraped off the white veil on Qiqing's face, and Qiqing's face turned to the other side.
"Ah... so ugly!" a woman in the crowd screamed.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in yellow covering her mouth with her hand.
Princess Ningxiang showed disgust on her face and said in a bad tone, "Qi Wanqin, what are you yelling about?"
The woman named Qi Wanqin stretched out a trembling hand and pointed forward.
His face was filled with horror, as if he had seen something horrible.
Princess Ningxiang's attention was focused on the little girl Belle just now, and she didn't notice at all that she had already dropped the veil of the Seven Emotions.
Now that Qi Wanqin pointed at him, he remembered to look at Qiqing who had been tilting his head.
Princess Ningxiang reached out and pulled Qiqing's body in confusion.
Qiqing staggered while holding Belle, and when he raised his head, his entire face was exposed to everyone.
"Ah!" Princess Ningxiang was caught off guard by the half-burned face.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, she stepped back suddenly and almost fell to the ground.
There was a fist-sized burn on Qiqing's face, and it was obvious that the injury was not long ago.
It was like a red leaf scorched by the scorching sun, shriveled, swollen, with a film of water remaining that had not been punctured.
Because Princess Ningxiang pulled hard just now, I don’t know if it was the veil or her fingers that broke some of the blisters, and sticky yellow water was leaking out.
Qiqing released the arms around Belle and looked at those people's faces coldly.
Expressions of fear, disgust, terror, or pity.
"You...why do you look like this?" Princess Ningxiang looked at Qiqing's face and asked while suppressing her nausea.
Qi Qing raised the corners of his lips and stared at her face silently, a fierce light flashing in his purple eyes.
Then give me your face...
Princess Ningxiang actually imagined the meaning behind the Seven Emotions Eyes.
She was so frightened that she immediately covered her face with her hands and screamed, "You want my face? You're dreaming!"
The corners of Qiqing's lips curled up a little more, idiot!
Perhaps after yelling, Princess Ningxiang realized that she had overreacted, so she put down her hand awkwardly and looked at Qiqing with disgust.
On the other hand, a trace of disgust and relief flashed in Qi Wanqin's eyes. Such a woman would never marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and become his Crown Princess.
Everyone in the courtyard was shocked by Qiqing's face, and no one cared about Chen Xiao anymore. Chen Xiao pushed away the people who were trying to stop him.
Hearing footsteps outside the courtyard, he turned around and saw Shang Chen and his men walking in. He immediately knelt down and shouted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Everyone came to their senses and turned to look.
Shang Chen was rarely seen wearing a red gold auspicious cloud-patterned robe, which he wore over a black smock with the bottom embroidered with gold and silver threads.
He walked in with a solemn expression, followed by many officials from the Shang State and Princess Ningxiang's brother, Prince Cheng.
Because he was originally discussing matters in the study, he hurried over when he heard from the eunuch that something happened in the Qionghua Palace.
"Crown Prince cousin..." Princess Ningxiang called out in a crisp voice.
Shang Chen didn't even glance at Qiqing, and walked straight towards him.
Princess Ningxiang was stunned. Her cousin, the prince, who had just returned to Changxing recently, had always been kind and more like a modest gentleman.
He was even gentler and more caring towards his only cousin, even better than his own brothers.
But I didn't expect that I would lose face in front of these people today.
Princess Ningxiang felt extremely aggrieved for a moment. She muttered, stamped her feet, and pulled the handkerchief in her hand fiercely.
The moment Qi Wanqin and Shang Chen entered the courtyard, all she could see was this man who seemed to have absorbed all the light.
I still remember that day, in Changxing City, on the streets of Chang'an, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had just returned from riding a horse, sat high on his horse, looking at his subjects with a gentle and firm look.
It seemed to be telling them: Don't be afraid, your Crown Prince is back, and from now on someone will protect your home.
You don't have to worry anymore, you won't be displaced. I will keep you safe and secure!
She watched him walk up to the disfigured woman.
Watch him reach out and pick up the veil that fell on the back of the chair.
Watch him gently place the veil on the woman's face.
Seeing the heartache and pity in his eyes.
She originally regarded him as a god. It turns out that gods and Buddhas are not cold and can also express emotions.
Qi Wanqin's eyes were burning, and a huge wave surged in her heart.
Since gods and Buddhas come down to earth and want to experience human love, why can't it be me!
Shang Chen gently hung the veil on Qiqing's face, his eyes filled with pity and guilt: "Sorry..."
Qiqing raised his eyebrows: What does it have to do with you?
Shang Chen knew that if it weren't for him, Qiqing wouldn't have suffered the humiliation he suffered today.
Rumors about the Crown Princess were spreading like wildfire. He wanted to explain, but he was worried that the more he explained, the more attention he would get.
He has already sent a message to his cousin, and will discuss the next arrangements with him when he arrives.
He believed that his cousin would be able to handle it. After all, Qiqing was still his Crown Princess, and that had not changed.
In order not to cause trouble to Qiqing, he hardly set foot in Qionghua Palace these days.
But I never thought that someone would give up waiting so soon.
In this case, he will take care of Miss Qiqing for his cousin until his cousin comes.
Shang Chen lightly held Qi Qing's waist, turned around and looked at the crowd, and said loudly:
"Since you are so curious about Yu'er's identity, I might as well tell you today.
Yu'er is my cousin Huangfu Lingao, my maternal cousin."
Qiqing looked up at Shang Chen, not knowing what this man was up to.
Huangfu Lingao's cousin?
However, Shang Chen gave Qiqing a look that said "I'll explain later", signaling him not to expose the truth.
Seven emotions raised eyebrows, agreed...
Such a loving scene between a man and a woman makes the following words more credible.
Shang Chen continued, "Yu'er... is my Crown Princess. When I ascend the throne, Yu'er will be the Queen of Shang! The mother of your country..."
