Chapter 1037 Teaching the Seventh Princess

"Seventh Princess!" As Lu Xingyan's sharp voice echoed in the air, Pei Chuyan opened his mouth to stop her.

Over the past eight years, he, like the Imperial Concubine, had fully believed that nothing would happen to Princess Yong'an. Now that she was standing in front of him, he would definitely believe her.

Not to mention that Lu Xingwan's expression was very calm now, as if she didn't hear the Seventh Princess' words that framed her. She just raised her head slightly, her eyes fell on Pei Chuyan, and her tone was also very calm.

"If it is convenient for you, Prince Pei, please take me to the palace to see my mother!"

Five years ago, after he had dealt with all the affairs of the Dali Kingdom and returned to the Great Chu Kingdom, he was conferred the title of Duke of Anguo by His Majesty.

From that time on, Prince Pei disappeared forever from the State of Chu.

But now, Wanwan's long-lost address made his heart tremble a little.

After hearing this, the Seventh Princess seemed to be stimulated. She tugged at Pei Chuyan's sleeve with force, and her tone was inexplicably excited: "Brother Chuyan, she is fake! She must be fake!"

"This person can't even pretend well. We all call the Empress in the palace Mother Consort, but why does she call her Mother? She is clearly just a commoner."

Lu Xingyan's tone was full of urgency.

She was unwilling to believe that the person in front of her was Lu Xingwan, and she was even more unwilling to let Lu Xingwan return to the palace.

She could even imagine what kind of changes would happen next because of Lu Xingwan's return.

But Pei Chuyan already believed it.

Pei Chuyan turned his head to look at the Seventh Princess, with obvious impatience flashing in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he shook off the Seventh Princess's hand that was pulling on his sleeve, his action revealing undisguised disgust.

"Seventh Princess, be careful with your words."

After all, Lu Xingwan was still young when she left the palace, so the Seventh Princess did not know that Lu Xingwan addressed her as the Imperial Concubine, but other people in the palace knew it clearly.

Even His Majesty never stops the princess from calling the Imperial Concubine "mother".

Lu Xingyan watched Pei Chuyan shake off his hand and froze in place.

She stared blankly at Pei Chuyan in front of her.

At this time, Xia Wenying walked up to the Seventh Princess again and gave her a standard salute: "Your Highness the Seventh Princess may not know something."

"When Princess Yong'an was still a toddler, I had the opportunity to meet her once. At that time, she always addressed me as 'mother'."

Xia Wenying actually had good intentions; she was afraid that the Seventh Princess would get angry.

She grew up under the care of the Imperial Concubine, so she was unwilling to bring shame to the royal family.

The Seventh Princess, who had come to her senses at this time, did not care about Xia Wenying's face at all.

She vented all her anger that she couldn't vent to Pei Chuyan on Xia Wenying. She looked at her fiercely and said, "Why? Now you, the daughter of a minister, are the ones to teach me a lesson?"

"I am a princess. Even if it is a lesson, only my father can teach me. Who do you think you are?"

At this moment, she was probably certain in her heart that the person in front of her was most likely Yong'an.

Since I have already offended her, there is no need to pretend in front of her.

So what if she has the Imperial Consort behind her?

The Royal Concubine has loved me very much over the years, and my mother is Concubine Wen.

Behind Concubine Wen was the Dali Kingdom.

In other words, she was not only a princess of the Great Chu Kingdom, but also a princess of the Great Li Kingdom.

The main reason was that when she saw Yong'an's appearance, she felt a little upset, and she really couldn't pretend.

Xia Wenying was a little frightened as she didn't expect the Seventh Princess to suddenly get angry. She raised her head and looked at the Seventh Princess in front of her, her eyes full of surprise.

She knew that the Seventh Princess was unreasonable, and she also knew that the Seventh Princess was quite dissatisfied with her because of Pei Chuyan's marriage proposal.

But she never had such thoughts about Pei Chuyan, so she still wanted to find an opportunity to explain it clearly to the Seventh Princess.

But she had never expected that she would be criticized so harshly by the Seventh Princess just for explaining the matter to her.

You know, even the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine in the palace have always been very polite to her, so how could she...

Xia Wenying also knew that, as the Seventh Princess said, she was just the daughter of a minister, so she lowered her head and said no more.

When Pei Chuyan was about to speak, Lu Xingwan stepped forward, pulled his sleeve, and stood in front of the Seventh Princess.

Everyone then realized that although Princess Yong'an was a few years younger than the Seventh Princess, she was taller than the Seventh Princess.

So even though she was young, she was not at all shy when standing in front of the Seventh Princess.

"Seventh sister, I don't know how Concubine Wen taught you when I was away from the palace for so many years and you were by her side."

"However, given Concubine Wen's personality, she will never allow you to be so presumptuous to Lord Xia's daughter outside today."

"Since I am younger than Seventh Sister, I really shouldn't have offended her here."

"But Seventh Sister should know that Father has always valued talents the most. If Father knew that Seventh Sister had lost Sister Xia's face in public today, I'm afraid he would be unhappy."

"I will not tell Father about what happened today. I just hope that Seventh Sister will be careful with her words and actions in the future."

Although the people did not dare to say a word, their eyes were full of respect when they looked at Lu Xingwan.

She is worthy of being their Princess Yong'an.

She is worthy of being the only princess with a title in the Great Chu State.

Seeing Lu Xingwan like this, Pei Chuyan naturally ignored the Seventh Princess and still looked at Lu Xingwan in front of him.

Different from the cold look he had just given to the Seventh Princess, the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Xingwan was extremely gentle.

"In that case, Princess, why don't you ride my horse to the palace?"

He looked at his own horse and it seemed that he was the only one who could give up this horse.

Seeing this, Xia Wenying naturally refused to agree.

She hurriedly walked in front of Lu Xingwan and bowed to her again: "Your Highness, Duke Anguo, today I came here in the carriage of the Duke Anguo's mansion. The carriage is quite spacious. Now that the princess is here, she should use it first."

At this time, Lu Xingwan took a step forward, straddled Xia Wenying's arm, and leaned lightly on her, with a gleam in his eyes.

"It turns out Sister Xia still remembers me."

When Xia Wenying heard Lu Xingwan calling her "Sister Xia", she immediately took a step back and prepared to salute Lu Xingwan.

But Lu Xingwan held her back.

"Sister Xia, you don't have to be so polite to me. Your father and my father have been friends since childhood. Although I don't see Sister Xia very often, I feel very familiar with you when I see you now."

Speaking of this, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but shook his head.

It sounds so awkward to say this.

But this is indeed what she really thinks.
