At this moment, a cold voice was heard.
Then a large group of people came towards them. The woman in the lead was dressed luxuriously and had an outstanding temperament. Although she was old, it was obvious that she must have been a beauty when she was young. She did not take small steps like the noble ladies, but came with big strides, walking with the wind.
Princess Chu Yu has been to the battlefield, killed people, and has a heroic temperament.
At this time, she strode over, followed by a lot of people, and following closely behind her were Chu Yan and Qing Yunyao.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Princess Pingyang hurried forward and called out in a coquettish voice.
Princess Chu Yu reached out and tapped her forehead. "If I don't come over, I don't know what kind of trouble you're going to get into!"
The tone of the scolding was full of doting.
After she finished speaking, the eldest princess looked at Qin Wan with a pair of eyes, with the majesty of a superior and a faint scrutiny.
"Qin Wan meets the eldest princess."
Qingyue bowed and saluted, which was a standard etiquette for a noble lady.
The eldest princess' eyes flickered slightly, and she thought of what her brother had told her. Qin Wan didn't seem to have come from a mountain village, at least not as bad as the rumors said.
I heard that she stabbed the fourth brother's palm with a knife a few days ago.
She had always wanted to meet him, but she never had the chance. Today she finally met him, and it was indeed a bit unexpected.
"Princess Jin, please get up."
The eldest princess raised her hand and said.
Qingyue stood up.
"Who can tell me what happened here?"
The eldest princess withdrew her gaze, looked around, and asked aloud.
No one spoke at this time. Pingyang looked around with tears in his eyes, Qing Zhan also lowered his head, and the young men from the noble families behind him didn't dare to breathe.
"Jinzhi's princess, please tell me."
The eldest princess said.
Qingyue pursed her lips. In her previous life, she and Pingyang were very good friends, and she often came to the Princess's Mansion to play. The Princess often invited her to have meals there and liked her very much.
She knew that the eldest princess was a person with a clear distinction between love and hate and was upright. As long as she complained, Pingyang and Qing Zhan would inevitably be scolded.
Sure enough, Pingyang and Qingzhan looked at her nervously.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on her, and Qing Yunyao and Chu Yan, who were standing behind her, were also looking at her.
"Princess, we are just competing in archery."
After a long while, Qing Yue spoke.
The wound on her right cheek was still vivid. A little blood had come out and formed a scab.
Qing Zhan and Ping Yang both breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Qin Wan would complain. However, when they heard her say this, they felt an inexplicable sense of unease in their hearts.
"Oh……"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest princess chuckled.
The next moment, her expression suddenly darkened. Her phoenix eyes sternly stared at Princess Pingyang, and she angrily said, "Pingyang, is this how I teach you? Do you know what you are doing? You are so arrogant and domineering. What is Qin Wan's identity? She is the Princess of Yu, the one your sixth brother married in a formal ceremony. How could she allow you to bully and humiliate her like this?"
"And you, Qing Er, it's okay that Pingyang is ignorant, but what about you? You're the same as her? Is this how General Qing taught you?"
The eldest princess's face was full of sternness, and she shouted angrily.
Qing Zhan's face changed and he lowered his head hurriedly.
Princess Pingyang's face turned red and white, "Mother, why are you scolding me and Brother Qingzhan? Didn't she say we were just competing in archery? It's your birthday today, why are you so angry?"
"Shut up! Have I spoiled you too much? You know today is Mother's birthday, so what are you doing? You're still quibbling now. Don't you realize your mistake at all? Pingyang, this is Mother's mansion. Can anything that happens here escape Mother's eyes?"
She had received the news long before the conflict broke out here, so she brought people here. She already knew what had happened.
Qin Wan covered up for them because she didn't want to make things worse and wanted to keep things quiet. This showed that she had a plan in mind, or maybe she didn't want to offend her.
But Pingyang's sophistry disappointed her.
She was also very disappointed with what she had done and said to Qin Wan before. Those were not things a princess should say.
Pingyang was scolded. Her eyes were red and she gritted her teeth. Especially with so many people watching, her face was extremely irritated. Her head was hot and she said immediately, "Yes, I did it. I just don't like her. She is not worthy of Sixth Brother with her status. Moreover, she bullied Sister Qing and stabbed Fourth Brother. She..."
"Pingyang!"
Before Princess Pingyang could finish her words, the eldest princess sneered, her voice much louder this time, and her face was full of severity.
Pingyang's words revealed so much information that many of the noble family members looked at each other in shock. Qin Wan had offended Princess You and even stabbed Prince You? When did all this happen?
Pingyang didn't dare to speak this time. She could see that her mother's eyes had turned completely cold and she was really angry.
"Pingyang, it's not your place to comment on her status, let alone that she bullied your sister Qing and stabbed your fourth brother. They are right here. Ask them if they need you to stand up for them."
The eldest princess asked sternly.
Pingyang raised his head with red eyes and looked at Qing Yunyao and Chu Yan, pursing his lips, looking very aggrieved.
"Aunt, it's your birthday today, don't be angry. Pingyang is a child in a bad mood, so he speaks and acts impulsively, but he doesn't mean any harm."
Chu Yan was wearing a blue flowing cloud brocade robe today. He had a tall and straight figure and a noble look.
Qing Yue's gaze passed over him lightly, and saw that he had one hand hanging by his side and the other hand behind his back. His eyes met hers, and he looked calm.
"Princess, Pingyang meant well. She's always been close to me. She might have heard something and misunderstood, leading to what happened today. She doesn't have any ill intentions. It's your birthday, so you should be happy. Don't get angry, or everyone will be scared."
At this time, Qing Yunyao stepped forward and spoke with a smile and in a negotiating tone.
As soon as she spoke, the princess's aura subsided, and her tightly pursed lips curved up, "You little girl..."
The tone was clearly doting.
You can tell at a glance which is near and which is far.
Qing Yue looked at Qing Yunyao, who was leaning against her face and talking to the eldest princess with a smile, and she lowered her eyes lightly.
"You two should apologize to Princess Yu."
