1273 Embarrassment, the Ninth Prince fell to the ground

Feng Qingchen's words hit the nail on the head. Princess Mingwei felt embarrassed and tried to defend herself, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's that the Ninth Prince doesn't appreciate my kindness."

If the Ninth Prince was willing to accept her kindness, there would be no need for him to stay in Nanling for so long. She could have convinced the Palace Master long ago.

"Really?" Feng Qingchen's eyes were filled with more sarcasm. "It turns out that the princess wants Uncle Nine to appreciate her kindness before she is willing to help. I thought the princess did everything for Uncle Nine without any regrets and would not ask for anything in return."

"I don't ask for anything in return." Princess Mingwei said this in a loud voice, but she seemed to lack confidence.

"The princess is indeed of high moral character." Feng Qingchen pursed his lips and said perfunctorily.

If Princess Mingwei really wanted to do as she said and not ask for anything in return, why wouldn't she persuade the Palace Master to let the Ninth Prince waste time here?

Princess Mingwei's move was simply to wait until the Ninth Uncle had no other options, and then come forward to help him, so as to move him.

Not asking for anything in return is nothing but deceiving oneself, and when she helped the Ninth Prince, she really never thought of moving him or making him fall in love with her.

At that time, she just wanted to help the Ninth Uncle and do her best to do something for him. It didn't matter even if the Ninth Uncle didn't appreciate it. She didn't do it for the Ninth Uncle to appreciate it.

Princess Mingwei seemed to want to say something, but the Ninth Prince had already brought back several lotus pods. Princess Mingwei quickly fell silent and looked at the Ninth Prince with deep affection, like a little wife waiting for her husband to come home.

Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince didn't even notice him. He stuffed all the lotus seeds into Feng Qingchen's hand with a stinky face and said, "Eat."

It's really embarrassing to ask him to pick lotus seeds or something like that.

"Thank you." Feng Qingchen smiled and completely ignored Princess Mingwei.

The reason why she could be so arrogant and confident in front of Princess Mingwei was because she was in the heart of the Ninth Prince. As long as she did not touch the bottom line of the Ninth Prince, she could do whatever she wanted.

Princess Mingwei could hardly hold back the smile on her face. She was jealous, deeply jealous of Feng Qingchen, but with the Ninth Prince present, she would never show her aggressive side.

Seeing that Feng Qingchen looked as if nothing had happened, Princess Mingwei put aside the previous conversation and said with a smile: "This lotus seed seems very tender, let me try it too."

As he spoke, he reached out to take the lotus seeds from Feng Qingchen's hand, but the Ninth Prince took Feng Qingchen away first: "If the princess wants to eat, just ask someone to pick them." He was not picking lotus seeds for any princess.

Princess Mingwei's hands froze in mid-air, her face looking embarrassed, but these words were said by the Ninth Prince, and she couldn't show it even if she was angry.

Princess Mingwei took a deep breath, calmly withdrew her hand, and said with envy: "Qingchen, the Ninth Prince is so good to you, I really envy you."

This woman is so shameless that she can actually laugh in such an embarrassing situation. Feng Qingchen looked at Princess Mingwei meaningfully, then pulled the sleeve of the Ninth Prince and said, "Let's go sit in the pavilion. I want to peel lotus seeds."

"Yeah." The Ninth Prince had no sense of being a guest and left Princess Mingwei where she was.

Feng Qingchen silently mourned for Princess Mingwei in her heart.

She was certain that in the eyes of the Ninth Prince, Princess Mingwei was nothing more than cannon fodder, and an unappreciated cannon fodder at that.

Feng Qingchen was in a good mood, sitting in the pavilion and peeling lotus seeds attentively, and soon peeled a handful. When Princess Mingwei came over after calming down, she saw the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, one sitting expressionless, the other concentrating on peeling lotus seeds, the two had no interaction at all, and even for most of the day, they didn't even exchange glances.

Seeing this scene, Princess Mingwei felt a little better: the Ninth Prince did not care about Feng Qingchen as Feng Qingchen said, otherwise he would not sit alone aside and not help Feng Qingchen peel lotus seeds.

Princess Mingwei regained her fighting spirit and calmly sat beside Feng Qingchen. When Feng Qingchen had peeled all the lotus seeds out of the lotus pod, she kindly asked the servants to bring her a

"There are so many lotus seeds. Qingchen, you definitely can't finish them all in a short time. Put them in and eat them slowly. Don't let Uncle Nine down."

"Thank you." Feng Qingchen did not refuse Princess Mingwei's kindness, because she had no intention of eating these lotus seeds now.

Feng Qingchen patiently packed the lotus seeds one by one, and Princess Mingwei almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

What is Feng Qingchen doing?

After finally packing the lotus seeds, Princess Mingwei heaved a sigh of relief. She signaled the maid to help Feng Qingchen wash her hands with a look. After Feng Qingchen had packed up, Princess Mingwei smiled and said, "Qingchen, I heard from my brother that when you competed with Wanwan in playing the zither, you played a heavenly sound with your stringless zither. I wonder if you can listen to Qingchen's famous work today."

"I don't want to play." Feng Qingchen refused without thinking.

She was able to reject Mr. Yuan Xi back then, and now she can also reject Princess Ming Wei.

Princess Mingwei seemed to have expected this and continued to persuade him, "Qingchen, a gentleman's four arts are playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the zither is the first of the four arts. The palace master said that one can tell a person's character from the sound of his zither. If Qingchen can impress the palace master with his zither skills, the palace master will definitely take you as her confidant."

This was a hint to Feng Qingchen. If Feng Qingchen wanted to help the Ninth Prince persuade the Palace Master, she could try using the zither. And she happened to be the person who passed the message. If the two of them worked together, they could perfectly solve the difficulties facing the Ninth Prince.

"Princess Mingwei is thoughtful." Feng Qingchen smiled playfully and stood up...

Just when Princess Mingwei thought Feng Qingchen was going to play a song, Feng Qingchen turned around and said to the Ninth Prince: "It's getting late, we should go back."

"Okay." The Ninth Prince stood up obediently, said goodbye to Princess Mingwei in a formal tone, turned around and left, not caring at all that Princess Mingwei had not yet come to her senses.

"What do they mean?" Princess Mingwei's face changed as the Ninth Prince left.

She was not a stupid person, so how could she not understand that the Ninth Prince was using her?

The Ninth Prince didn't ask her out to the garden earlier or later, but chose to ask her out to the garden after Feng Qingchen came to Nanling. Isn't it obvious that he is using her as a pawn to anger Feng Qingchen?

As for how Feng Qingchen entered the garden, there is no need to think too much about it. It must be her good brother who had been lost for many years.

Princess Mingwei was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but she tried her best to restrain herself and not let herself explode.

"Feng Qingchen, remember this. I will double back the humiliation you inflicted on me today someday."

In front of Princess Mingwei, Feng Qingchen showed her affection with the Ninth Uncle. But as soon as they left the royal villa, Feng Qingchen had a cold face, closed her eyes in the carriage, and ignored the Ninth Uncle.

When the Ninth Prince saw Feng Qingchen like this, he knew that Feng Qingchen must have guessed something, but he was not worried.

The two of them were silent along the way, and the Ninth Prince did not feel bored. When Feng Qingchen closed her eyes to rest, he stared at Feng Qingchen. After not seeing her for nearly two months, the Ninth Prince wished that he could see enough today.

Unfortunately, this section of the road was not long, and before the Ninth Prince had seen enough, they had already reached their destination. Helplessly, the Ninth Prince could only withdraw his gaze.

The Ninth Prince got off the car first, and then helped Feng Qingchen get off. This action was the same as usual, and it did not become unfamiliar because of not seeing each other for two months. Everything went smoothly, but...

When Feng Qingchen landed, she suddenly turned around and looked at the Ninth Uncle, and smiled charmingly at him. The Ninth Uncle was delighted and was about to say something, but he found that his feet hurt, and the next second...

There was a "bang" and then...

The Ninth Prince fell to the ground!

A word to the readers: I hope I didn’t interrupt the article at the critical point today. I will update the article during the day.
