"Favoritism? But Princess, isn't Miss Meng the daughter of the Prime Minister? Why would His Majesty treat her so specially for no reason? Could it be..." The girl looked at Meng Xian with shining eyes, "Could it be that Miss Meng is the Queen chosen by His Majesty?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent, and even the people in the cubicle stopped what they were doing. Everyone stared at the girl, looking eager to try and unable to wait to get close to her, and they were dumbfounded.
Where did this warrior come from?
How dare they criticize His Majesty and the daughter of the Meng family in public, and the topic is so explosive!
After taking a closer look at the girl's red and green outfit, it was immediately clear that she was the daughter of General Liang who had just returned from the frontier. It was normal for a girl who grew up in a border town and came to Beijing for the first time because she didn't know the relationship between His Majesty and the Prime Minister's Office.
But... the young ladies present and the invisible adults in the compartment looked at Meng Xi and their minds were filled with doubts.
"Sister Liang, don't talk nonsense. You've just arrived and you don't understand the relationship between Miss Meng and my brother." The Eighth Princess paused deliberately to attract everyone's attention. "Although they are extremely close, it's just an ordinary 'brother and sister' relationship, not what you think."
"Then Miss Meng can't marry His Majesty?"
Liang Qianjin asked subconsciously.
The Eighth Princess looked embarrassed: "This..."
She almost laughed out loud in her heart. Liang Yue was really smart. She brought the conversation to this point without any prompting.
Humph, today she is going to tear off the face of the Meng family in front of all the civil and military officials and envoys in the court!
What sister? What selfless?
The Meng family was clearly determined to secure the position of empress. They were delaying her brother's marriage just to wait for his maid to reach the age of marriage.
This damn girl Meng Xi is even more shameless. She clearly knows that she has no blood relationship with the emperor, but she still relies on the emperor's favor and acts recklessly. Even she, the legitimate sister, is suppressed and has to stay away from him.
Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered over the years and the miserable life her mother had led in the palace, the Eighth Princess became more and more malicious towards Meng Xi.
Fortunately, she was about to be sent to marry a foreign prince, and she might never return to Beijing in her life.
What else was there for her to fear? She had to vent her anger before she left! Otherwise, she would never feel at peace.
He opened his mouth to add fuel to the fire, but someone else beat him to it.
"Miss Liang, please don't say that. Xian'er only regards His Majesty as a brother, and there is no romantic relationship between us."
The soft and pleasant female voice belonged to Xie Wan'er.
She had just been slapped twice. The palace maid was really powerful and ruthless, but there was no mark on her face. Her soft and graceful little face was only slightly flushed, which made her look even more pitiful.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xie Wan'er's shoulders shrank slightly, but she bravely stood in front of Meng Xian, staring directly at the Eighth Princess, and mustered her courage: "Eight, Eighth Princess, you are not allowed to bully Xian'er. If you have any problems, come to me."
The girl's strong and upright figure startled the onlookers, and their eyes on her suddenly changed.
The Eighth Princess's face darkened. What a piece of shit! But just a casual mention, she thinks she's a big shot!
Without saying anything, she slapped him: "Who are you? How dare you bark in front of this princess!" Xie Wan'er was caught off guard and fell to the side room.
With a loud crash, the tightly closed door opened and the person inside appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone was stunned, then reacted and knelt down: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"
