After leaving Cixi Palace, Hua Rong walked a little slower.
Sure enough, I heard footsteps behind me.
Looking back at the Fifth Princess who had started running, she shook her head.
"The princess has completely lost her manners. If your strict mother sees her like this, she will surely be punished."
The Fifth Princess pretended not to hear Hua Rong's mutterings, took her arm and said, "How did you pair Second Sister with that Shen Zi'an?"
The Fifth Princess looked at Hua Rong with a complicated expression. Shen Zi'an was one of her official partners!
He just handed it over to another woman, that annoying second princess?
"Why can't we just put them together as a couple? Could it be..."
Hua Rong stopped and looked at the Fifth Princess.
"You've also fallen for this handsome young master Shen at first sight?"
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Princess rolled her eyes: "I've seen more handsome men, and I don't like his type either!"
Which type do you prefer?
The Fifth Princess looked slightly embarrassed and did not answer, instead changing the subject.
"I always feel that my second sister is not very friendly to you, so you must be careful."
Hua Rong relaxed her brows and smiled gently at the Fifth Princess.
The Fifth Princess treated her with genuine sincerity.
As for her secrets...
Hua Rong shook her head. Even among family members, it's impossible to be completely without secrets.
Often, when you get caught up in the secrets of your family and friends, you're actually overstepping boundaries.
Not to mention, she has just as many secrets as the Fifth Princess.
"I never expected that my fifth sister and Aunt Hua Rong would have such a good relationship."
A sarcastic voice rang out, and Hua Rong and the Fifth Princess exchanged a glance before slowly turning around.
Turning her head, she saw the second princess leaning against a rockery, looking at them with seductive eyes.
The other party was not trying to deceive them; it was purely instinct.
He could suppress it just now, but now that there was no one around, he released the wantonness that was in his bones.
Seeing her like this, Hua Rong had already decided on her fate.
"There are many things the Second Princess doesn't know."
Hua Rong glanced at the Second Princess with a half-smile, and basically confirmed some things.
For example, she is very physically strong, and her whole demeanor exudes a sense of arrogance.
He seemed exceptionally confident, a sense of invincibility cultivated only by maintaining an undefeated record in a particular field for an extended period.
He's not an incompetent fool.
Hua Rong, knowing that the other party had never appeared in front of her before, directly sent someone to release snakes for her.
That alone is enough to prove that she is a person with a complex mind.
Because if she had died that day, no one would have realized that she was the one who did it.
What reason could two people who have never met have to kill each other?
Everyone would think that way.
"But it seems that Aunt Hua Rong knows quite a lot."
The second princess's eyes revealed jealousy, hatred, and murderous intent as she looked at Hua Rong...
She hates women who steal her thunder!
Especially since this attention-grabbing woman is dressed even better than her!
Hua Rong is truly beautiful; no matter how much someone dislikes her, they can't deny her beauty.
It was a captivating beauty, one glance enough to steal everyone's attention.
She had already been stunned by her beauty once in the hall.
Seeing her again now, I find her beauty even more breathtaking.
"Second Princess..."
Hua Rong didn't intend to waste words with her and walked towards her step by step. "You must remember, this is the palace, not anywhere else you think you are. And you must also remember, don't mess with me, otherwise, I will make sure you never forget the days before you get married!"
After speaking, Hua Rong lifted her chin, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
In that instant, the second princess didn't know why, but her body had no desire to resist.
It seemed that if she resisted, even more terrible consequences awaited her.
Hua Rong pulled the Fifth Princess away.
Not long after they left, they ran into the eldest princess again.
"Thank you, Aunt Huarong."
Unlike the aggressive and pretentious second princess.
The eldest princess truly possesses the nobility and grace of a royal princess.
The moment the Fifth Princess saw the eldest princess, she realized that her supposedly impeccable knowledge of court etiquette was riddled with errors.
Hua Rong raised an eyebrow: "I didn't help the eldest princess in any way."
The eldest princess smiled and said, "If it weren't for Aunt Hua Rong's words, Shu'er would probably have become the laughing stock of the entire Longjing tomorrow."
As she spoke, her eyes lowered, and she looked somewhat disappointed.
Hua Rong thought about it and realized that it made sense.
Regardless of whether the eldest princess had any feelings for Shen Zi'an, the fact that the Empress Dowager brought Shen Zi'an into the palace along with the eldest princess reveals a lot.
If news eventually breaks that the second princess is going to marry Shen Zi'an, the eldest princess will be in a rather awkward position.
"I had no intention of helping the eldest princess with this matter," Hua Rong said, not wanting to take credit.
The eldest princess raised her head and looked at Hua Rong with a puzzled expression.
After a long pause, he gave a self-deprecating laugh: "That's true, I don't have any leverage to thank Aunt Hua Rong right now."
"Do you think I'm saying this because you have no leverage?" Hua Rong smiled meaningfully.
"You said it yourself, what I have now, you may not have. And what you have, I may not be unable to obtain."
"The reason I don't want your thanks is simply because I never intended to help you in the first place."
The reason I said that at the time was twofold: firstly, to appease the old emperor and alienate the empress dowager.
On the other hand, they wanted to elevate the second princess to a high position.
She holds grudges for some things!
