Chapter 79 Xie Yunqi is gentle and polite, so who was the one causing trouble before?
That pause is brilliant.
Especially when paired with Consort Yue's expression, it seems as if Consort Yue is very understanding.
Xie Yunqi was immediately ignited again: "Wait, what do you mean by that? You mean I used too much force?"
Xiao Quanzi quickly pulled Xie Yunqi back, afraid that the little tyrant might really offend someone in a moment of impulsiveness.
Xiao Quanzi is quite cunning; otherwise, Consort Li wouldn't have arranged for him to stay by the side of this little tyrant.
Xiao Quanzi stopped Xie Yunqi and whispered a reminder: "Your Highness, this servant thinks that Consort Yue is deliberately causing trouble. We must not act rashly at this time, otherwise we will really fall into Consort Yue's trap! Let's calm down and see what she is trying to do."
Xie Yunqi took a breath and barely managed to suppress the urge to continue questioning Consort Yue.
Hearing the sound, he felt a slight stirring in his heart.
Consort Yue quickly denied it; of course, she couldn't admit it like that. She wanted Xie Yunsheng to believe that, no matter what, it was Xie Yunqi's carelessness that caused her injury.
She frowned slightly. She wasn't stupid; she wasn't a three-year-old child. She could see that Consort Yue's thoughts were strange.
Although she didn't know why, Sheng Sheng could tell that Consort Yue's sudden change in attitude and her current pretext for making a fuss were making Sheng Sheng wary.
What does she want to do?
With so many people watching, regardless of how much Consort Yue did, it's true that Xie Yunqi pushed her.
Sheng Sheng gently tugged at Xie Yunqi's hand, signaling him to be quiet.
"Your Highness Consort Yue, Fifth Prince didn't mean it. I've long heard that Your Highness Consort Yue is beautiful and kind-hearted. Your Highness Consort Yue wouldn't refuse to forgive Fifth Prince, would you?"
"Huh?" Consort Yue was taken aback. Just when she thought Sheng Sheng was deliberately flattering her, Sheng Sheng spoke again.
With a guilty look on her face, Sheng Sheng spoke softly and earnestly to Consort Yue, "Sheng Sheng knows that Consort Yue will forgive Fifth Prince, after all, Consort Yue seems kind and forgiving. Fifth Prince is always gentle and polite, and he didn't use any force just now, so it must have been Consort Yue who lost her balance and fell. However, although Fifth Prince is still young, he was in the wrong first, so Consort Yue must not forgive him easily just because he is young. You must wait until Fifth Prince apologizes to Consort Yue properly before forgiving him!"
The little dumpling nodded seriously as it spoke.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like the little dumpling is genuinely offering advice.
Afterwards, the little dumpling turned her head and nudged Xie Yunqi, saying, "Fifth brother, quickly apologize to Consort Yue."
Xie Yunqi was still a little angry. This person was being sarcastic and strange, and he hadn't even used any force. Why was this person slandering him?
Xie Yunqi didn't want to apologize, but his sister certainly wouldn't harm him, so he reluctantly said, "I'm sorry, Consort Yue."
The little dumpling looked at Consort Yue again, blinked innocently and pitifully, and said with a wronged expression, "Consort Yue, Fifth Prince knows he was wrong. He didn't know Consort Yue was so weak. Fifth Prince has apologized. Can Consort Yue forgive Fifth Prince?"
Consort Yue was dumbfounded.
What gentle and polite? Is this describing Xie Yunqi?
Xie Yunqi was gentle and polite. So who was it that had previously angrily rebuked five ministers who accused him of being too unruly as a prince, and who had secretly placed a swallow's nest on Liu Taifu's stomach while he was taking a nap, causing chaos everywhere?
Consort Yue was delighted.
No, why does she always feel that the second princess is doing this on purpose?
First, they said she was kind and forgiving, so she couldn't continue to blame them. Then they subtly implied that she herself hadn't squatted properly, and that Xie Yunqi hadn't exerted any force at all. Xie Yunqi felt wronged, but she was willing to admit her mistake first.
Well, after all that, if she didn't say it was okay, she would seem petty.
The little dumpling still looked at her pitifully.
Consort Yue couldn't help but doubt herself. The second princess didn't seem to be acting, and what could two children possibly be thinking? Could it really be her true feelings, or was she just making wild guesses?
Indeed, the second princess couldn't possibly see that she was using this as an excuse to gain favor with the second princess and then take the opportunity to get closer to her.
So, is she just overthinking things?
Consort Yue pondered silently in her heart.
Although the little dumpling is small, it has a strong presence.
With her eyes crinkled into a smile, she softly apologized, yet remained composed.
Consort Yue was stunned; this was completely different from what she had imagined.
Having been in the palace for so many years, Zijuan was adept at reading people's expressions and demeanor. She could tell from Consort Yue's behavior that something was amiss.
Zijuan bent down and whispered in Shengsheng's ear, "Princess, Consort Yue is acting strangely."
She pursed her lips, but seeing that Consort Yue remained silent, she already had a general idea of the answer in her mind.
Consort Yue was clearly feeling guilty and hadn't expected her to say that.
Consort Yue was somewhat presumptuous and underestimated them, thinking they were just children who could be easily manipulated.
The situation did not unfold as Consort Yue had anticipated, disrupting her train of thought.
If they don't speak, it means they're thinking about what to do.
Although she didn't know what Consort Yue was up to, Sheng Sheng successfully avoided the trap and couldn't help but silently give herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.
Sheng Sheng stepped forward, seemingly puzzled, or perhaps afraid of angering her, and hesitated, tugging at the hem of her skirt, before asking, "Your Highness Consort Yue, are you still blaming us?"
Consort Yue was at a loss for what to do. A maidservant whispered something in her ear, but they couldn't hear it.
Ziju cleverly instructed Chunhua and Qiuyue to listen carefully. They knew martial arts and had much better hearing than ordinary people, so they could hear clearly.
When Xiao Quanzi saw Zijuan's actions, his impression of the second princess changed somewhat.
Even the palace maids around her are so clever; it seems that this second princess is not only gentle and kind, but also very intelligent.
She didn't fall into Consort Yue's trap, but instead stood by her own prince and calmly returned the favor to Consort Yue in a roundabout way.
Clearly, this second princess is indeed someone worth befriending.
As Xiao Quanzi pondered this, he realized that Old Cat and Old Fish had disappeared sometime earlier.
Xiao Quanzi was puzzled, but he said nothing and pretended not to know anything.
After the palace maid finished speaking to Consort Yue, Consort Yue forced a smile and replied, "How could that be? Children are always mischievous at times."
She smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Consort Yue, for forgiving my fifth brother!"
Consort Yue could only agree with an awkward smile.
Looking at the innocent expressions of the two children, Consort Yue felt she had suffered a loss in silence, and her heart ached as if ants were crawling inside her.
It was all for nothing. She even had to deliberately rub her palms raw to make the scene more realistic.
