1271 Redundant, need your man to cooperate
Feng Qingchen walked along with her aura fully open, and the eyeliner that was deliberately raised showed Feng Qingchen's sharpness and strength to the fullest.
The Ninth Prince's eyes were sparkling with an unconcealable amazement in them. He knew that his Qingchen would look good in this outfit.
Princess Mingwei was the opposite of the Ninth Uncle. When she saw the bright and charming Feng Qingchen approaching, she only felt danger. However, facing the strong and arrogant Feng Qingchen, Princess Mingwei was completely stunned and didn't know how to react.
This woman's aura is even stronger than that of the empress dowager. She is definitely not a simple person.
The eunuch beside Princess Mingwei reacted quickly. Before Mingwei could come to her senses, he stepped forward and shouted, "How dare you, who are you to trespass into the royal courtyard?"
Feng Qingchen looked at the little eunuch and did not answer her. Instead, she walked to the Ninth Uncle and Lord Ming Wei and bowed slightly: "I, the humble girl Feng Qingchen, greet the Ninth Uncle."
After saying that, he stood up without waiting for the Ninth Prince to speak. As for Princess Mingwei? Feng Qingchen completely ignored her.
"Feng Qingchen, are you Feng Qingchen?" Princess Mingwei was originally angry at Feng Qingchen's rudeness, but after knowing that the woman in front of her was Feng Qingchen, Princess Mingwei had no time to care about Feng Qingchen's rudeness.
Feng Qingchen's appearance was so shocking that he overshadowed her, making her feel very uncomfortable.
It's embarrassing for a princess to lose to an orphan in terms of momentum.
Feng Qingchen turned to look at Princess Mingwei and nodded slightly: "I greet the princess."
This was considered a formality. Princess Mingwei was always elegant and generous. Even if she was dissatisfied, she would not show it. She could only wave her hand generously: "Miss Feng, you are too polite. Why did Miss Feng come to Nanling? Why didn't I receive the news?"
Princess Mingwei tried hard to suppress the shock and dissatisfaction in her heart, and acted gentle and polite.
"I came yesterday. Didn't the Ninth Prince tell the princess?" Feng Qingchen raised her eyebrows and looked at the Ninth Prince with surprise, as if blaming him for being rude.
The Ninth Prince had already come out of the joy of the long-awaited reunion. Noticing Feng Qingchen's dissatisfaction, the Ninth Prince smiled but said indifferently, "I forgot."
Princess Mingwei knew that the two men were lying, but she could not expose them. She could only play along with them and generously invited Feng Qingchen to sit down with her.
Feng Qingchen didn't act pretentiously and sat down next to the Ninth Uncle. Seeing the two cups on the table, Feng Qingchen turned to look at the Ninth Uncle and said, "That's right, I'm thirsty."
Feng Qingchen turned her back to Princess Mingwei and no longer concealed her dissatisfaction. She glared at the Ninth Uncle fiercely. The Ninth Uncle had a wooden face and said nothing. He just picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water for Feng Qingchen and handed it to Feng Qingchen.
That cup was the one that the Ninth Prince had just used.
Feng Qingchen did not take the teacup, but deliberately said, "I don't drink tea."
"Go, get a pot of warm water." The Ninth Prince immediately ordered the eunuch beside him. The eunuch, perhaps out of his wits or something, actually ran out to get water.
Princess Mingwei looked at the two of them in shock. The noble and arrogant Ninth Prince was so humble in front of Feng Qingchen. Was this really the Ninth Prince she knew?
No, these two people must have made a mistake. This is Nanling’s villa. Why are these two people more casual than her, the owner?
Although Feng Qingchen was talking to the Ninth Uncle, he was always paying attention to Princess Mingwei. Seeing Princess Mingwei's expression change, Feng Qingchen was very satisfied.
It is useless to deal with admirers like Princess Mingwei by scolding or reasoning with them.
The best way is to let her see the difference in the Ninth Prince's attitude towards the two of them. Only in this way can the other party be hit.
Of course, the premise is that this man's heart is with you and he is willing to cooperate. As it happens, the Ninth Prince's cooperation is very high.
The warm water was brought over quickly, and the eunuch took out a new cup with great tact. When he was about to pour water for Feng Qingchen, the Ninth Prince gave him a cold look, and the eunuch was so scared that he quickly stepped back.
Under Princess Mingwei's incredulous gaze, the Ninth Prince personally poured a glass of water for Feng Qingchen, and after Feng Qingchen finished drinking it, he refilled it with another glass.
Seeing Feng Qingchen's rude way of drinking water, Princess Mingwei's eyes flashed with contempt: She is indeed an uneducated orphan, who looks noble and cold, but is actually extremely rude.
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were both shrewd people. Princess Mingwei thought she had concealed it well, but she didn't know that the two of them saw it clearly, but they just didn't bother to say it out loud.
The Ninth Prince achieved his goal, and seeing that Feng Qingchen was obviously unhappy, he planned to take Feng Qingchen back, but Feng Qingchen was one step ahead of him and said, "Your Highness, I heard that there is a lotus pond in the Royal Courtyard, which is known as "the leaves are endless and green, reaching the sky". I wonder if I can feast my eyes on it."
"Qingchen, you came at a bad time. The lotus viewing season has passed. But if you like, I will take you to see it." Princess Mingwei smiled warmly and called her intimately. People who didn't know would think that she and Feng Qingchen were very familiar with each other, and the indifferent and gentle smile on her face really made people unable to dislike her.
Feng Qingchen thanked her and signaled Princess Mingwei to lead the way, while he followed one step behind her.
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen walked side by side, deliberately slowing down their pace and subtly increasing the distance between themselves and Princess Mingwei.
When the two were three steps apart, the Ninth Prince said, "Why are you here?" His tone sounded as if he didn't know Feng Qingchen would come.
"What? Did you ruin the prince's good deeds?" Feng Qingchen turned his head with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"If it's broken, it's broken." The Ninth Prince said ambiguously. His mysterious look really made Feng Qingchen unable to guess what the Ninth Prince meant.
Feng Qingchen wanted to ask for clarification, but was interrupted by Princess Mingwei: "Qingchen, what's wrong with you? Are you tired from traveling all the time? Do you want me to have someone bring a sedan chair over?"
This statement seemed to be well-intentioned, but in reality it was implying that Feng Qingchen was watching the Ninth Uncle too closely.
Feng Qingchen pretended not to understand, lowered her head slightly, and said rather embarrassedly: "Princess Mingwei, please don't make fun of me. I am not a rich and powerful woman, so I don't need this much. It's just that I haven't seen the Ninth Prince for a long time, and the Ninth Prince asked me something."
While Feng Qingchen was speaking, she did not forget to glance at the Ninth Uncle shyly, her expression full of sweetness and joy after a long separation.
Feng Qingchen doesn't feel any pressure at all when it comes to showing affection in front of others.
Princess Mingwei found this scene extremely irritating, but the Ninth Prince added: "Princess Mingwei, please go first. The prince and Qingchen will be here soon."
The Ninth Prince thinks Princess Mingwei is unnecessary and has ruined his private time with Feng Qingchen. If Princess Mingwei hadn't been able to tolerate this, this group of people would have been so angry that their mouths would have been crooked.
Princess Mingwei lowered her eyes and smiled, "Look at me, I'm confused. The Ninth Prince and Qingchen have met again after a long time, so they must have a lot to talk about. I won't bother you. I'll go ahead and make some preparations."
The Ninth Prince responded, and his expression almost said: You're smart!
Princess Mingwei was so angry that her veins bulged, but she still had a smile on her face. It was just her clenched hands that betrayed her mood at the moment...
