Chapter 10: Standing Out
"Hahahaha, Seventh Brother is still too kind. He should be allowed to lick it clean!" The Fourth Prince excitedly cheered.
Mad couldn't stand it anymore!
School bullying, this is extremely serious and bad school bullying!
Pei Wuyou looks younger than her, and he was forced to be bad by this group of people!
Anyway, there are no parents or aunts in this world, so she is not afraid of causing trouble to anyone!
"Your tongue is so dexterous, why don't you lick it for your seventh brother?" Ling Qingyan stood up suddenly, her voice was not low, her eyes were vicious, and she walked over before Chen Mansheng could react.
A blue figure appeared in front of Pei Wuyou and shook off the ugly hand on him.
Pei Wuyou didn't react for a moment, his knees still on the ground, looking up at the girl's beautiful clothes.
Her eyebrows are like crescent moons, her eyes are like bright stars, her skin is fair and her bones are white, she is a beauty in the world.
"stand up."
The cherry-like red lips opened slightly, and the soft and tender hands touched his shoulders. Pei Wuyou could feel the warmth of that skin.
He stood up with her help.
Looking at this silly pretty girl who appeared out of nowhere.
"Ling Qingyan, what did you say?" The man she had just scolded rushed in front of her, pointing at her like a rat with its fur standing on end, and scolded, "I think you've been really ignorant of your own limitations these past few days. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're favored by your father?!"
"Or are you looking for death even though your mother is dead?!" The Fourth Prince was so angry that he said something without thinking. How dare this little bitch humiliate him like this!
"Tang Ning, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business." The seventh prince's expression was not very good either.
If it weren't for the fact that his father had been particularly caring towards Ling Qingyan since Concubine Yuan's death, he would have taught her a lesson today.
"Ling Qingyan, if I were you, I'd keep my tail between my legs." Ling Yao glanced at her striking face and the particularly beautiful clothes she wore. "Do you really think the emperor will indulge you forever just because of the deceased imperial concubine?"
"You are just a fake princess. We are our father's biological children."
Ling Qingyan curved her eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly.
Judging from the emperor's favor towards her these days, it can be seen that Concubine Yuan is definitely the white moonlight level in the emperor's heart.
In a man's heart, only his love for a living lover may fade with the passage of time, but the white moonlight will not. The dead white moonlight will only be engraved deeper and deeper in his heart as time goes by.
It will automatically erase all her shortcomings until she is perfect.
"How about we go to the imperial study and ask father whether I should behave myself?" Ling Qingyan's face was full of innocence, and her gaze turned to the seventh prince Ling Zhao.
"He's a hostage from the State of Wei, and he's considered a noble in that state. Father hasn't issued any orders regarding his treatment yet, much less making him a palace attendant. Even my brother, the Crown Prince, doesn't use a hostage from the State of Wei as an attendant, yet my Seventh Brother is asking him to kneel down and polish your shoes?"
"Ah, I understand." Ling Qingyan suddenly realized, "Seventh Brother wants to show that his status is more noble than that of the Crown Prince! He can even let the prince of an entire country shine your shoes!"
"But I remember the most honorable brother is the Crown Prince, isn't he?" Ling Qingyan gasped and covered her mouth, as if she had discovered a great secret. She said in surprise, "Seventh Brother wants to be the Crown Prince!"
The voice was not small. In Hongwenguan, the people were either princes and princesses or children of prominent families. When they heard such a sensitive topic, their expressions were all strange.
There was complete silence.
No one said anything else and everyone looked at each other.
Most of them had witnessed the prince's ruthless methods.
No one dared to challenge that position anymore.
Just as the Seventh Prince was about to argue, he heard a sharp voice.
"Seventh Prince, do you want to be the crown prince?" When Mu Xianzhi walked in, he heard the clear and beautiful voice saying surprising words.
"Grandmaster! I don't have a Grandmaster! Ling Qingyan is talking nonsense!" Ling Zhao's face turned red with anxiety.
"Fractures within the same family are dangerous." Mu Xianzhi's voice was cold, and he frowned. He glanced at Ling Qingyan and then looked at the Seventh Prince. "I will inform His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Seventh Prince, take care of yourself."
Ling Zhao was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Ling Yao and the Fourth Prince were also extremely anxious and uneasy, fearing that they would be implicated.
Ling Qingyan remained calm and glanced at Pei Wuyou.
Handsome, so handsome.
She has beautiful facial features, slightly red corners of her eyes, and a pair of beautiful eyes full of gratitude.
Seeing this, her heart softened a little.
Well, there was a reason why she came forward because she was attracted by this face.
Ling Qingyan's throat rolled for a moment, and she said softly, "Let's go back."
Pei Wuyou went out obediently.
Her back looked a little thin, and she must have suffered a lot over the years. Her ponytail was tied with a red headband, without even a crown.
Miserable.
Ling Qingyan was certain that Pei Wuyou's bad behavior must be due to his acquired environment.
【System system! 】
【What's wrong, my host? 】
[I want to know Pei Wuyou's dark value.]
[Okay... I'm testing you. Hey, host, Pei Wuyou may be the youngest, only sixteen, but he has the highest Darkness value! Ninety-five percent!]
[Look at what our children have become...] Ling Qingyan thought of Pei Wuyou's thin back and could already imagine how much suffering he must have endured over the years.
[(He wanted to say something, but seeing Ling Qingyan's state, he didn't say it out loud. He only said a reminder) Host, Xiao Pei is easy to deceive people. You must be careful to discern his words.]
[I know, I know! I can tell lies too!]
Ling Qingyan didn't listen to the class seriously.
The whole class was spent guessing and imagining how that little bitter gourd Pei Wuyou had survived all these years.
She was not that happy even when living under someone else's roof with her aunt who was very kind to her, and she was very cautious.
What's more, Pei Wuyou had been a hostage in the enemy country for six years. He had no relatives or friends, and anyone could humiliate him.
Will you have enough to eat?
Ling Qingyan was lost in thought, her mind already wandering elsewhere, so naturally she didn't notice Mu Xianzhi's glances at her several times.
After school, Ling Qingyan and Chen Mansheng left while talking, automatically ignoring those unfriendly glances.
Chen Mansheng was a little worried about Ling Qingyan: "Your Highness, you have offended the Seventh Prince and his men today because of that Wei hostage. What if they retaliate against you?"
It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Your Majesty cannot always take care of her. What if someone is secretly doing something bad to the princess?
Your Highness is still too sentimental.
She liked Her Highness like this, but she was also worried about her.
"You're right." Ling Qingyan nodded in agreement. "So I'll go to the Crown Prince to complain first, and then ask him for a guard."
Ling Qingyan was calculating loudly.
"But still—"
Chen Mansheng seemed to be about to say something when he was interrupted by another voice.
"Your Highness." The young man's voice was magnetic and cold, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight tremor.
Pei Wuyou suddenly appeared in front of them, and Ling Qingyan almost subconsciously moved in front of Chen Mansheng.
The boy's dark eyes moved, and he looked up at the girl who wore blue very beautifully.
"You didn't leave?" Ling Qingyan was surprised.
"I wanted to come and thank Your Highness in person."
