1710 Finding trouble, the Ninth Emperor Uncle is not good
"So the Ninth Prince has such a quirk. Does the Ninth Prince not want to touch women? Then what about him..." The rest of the words were not spoken, but any man could understand the unfinished meaning in the words.
The Ninth Prince's taboos were known to the royal families of the four countries, but not many people in the martial arts world knew about it, and even if they heard about it, they would not think about it. Hearing the eldest princess' words, many people became curious and discussed it in a low voice.
The Ninth Prince turned a deaf ear to him, glanced coldly at Princess Xiling, and then looked away, as if he regarded Princess Xiling as a clown.
The feeling of being despised was terrible. Even though Princess Xiling was well-mannered, she still felt a little angry.
Taking a deep breath, Princess Xiling used all her strength to maintain a decent smile on her face: "Since Uncle Nine doesn't welcome me, I'll go back now."
After she finished speaking, Princess Xiling stood up and made a move to leave. As the host, Lord Lingbao could not let the guest leave like that, so he quickly stood up to keep her: "Your Highness, you are joking. This matter was not arranged well by me. I don't know what Uncle Nine has done. If your Highness doesn't mind, why don't you go to the inner courtyard and sit for a while?"
Even among the martial arts world, men and women were seated separately. Feng Qingchen, Li Xuanyue and some female martial arts heroes were in the inner courtyard.
"Inner Courtyard?" Princess Xiling paused, turned around and smiled at Lord Ling, smiling charmingly, "I heard that General Feng's daughter, Miss Qingchen, is here too. I just want to meet her."
Before Princess Xiling left, she did not forget to look at the Ninth Uncle again. The Ninth Uncle relaxed his slightly bent fingers, and he already knew why Princess Xiling came.
There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. Nanling Jinfan must have put in a lot of effort to convince Princess Xiling.
Princess Xiling came so high-profile that the people in the inner courtyard naturally heard the news, but they did not expect Princess Xiling to come to the inner courtyard. Several female warriors felt a little restrained and vaguely dissatisfied.
It was enough for Feng Qingchen to steal their limelight, and now there was the Princess of Xiling. With these two people around, those young talents had the chance to see them.
Feng Qingchen lowered his eyes and thought deeply. A bad premonition flashed through his mind, and soon the premonition came true. When Princess Xiling came in, she asked, "Is General Feng's daughter here?"
There weren't many people who would call Feng Qingchen like that. It was obvious that Princess Xiling was an old friend of Feng's father and mother. Feng Qingchen stood up leisurely and bowed to Princess Xiling: "Your Highness."
They belong to two different countries, so even if the other party is a princess of one country, Feng Qingchen does not need to kneel down and kowtow, just be polite.
"You are Feng Qingchen?" Princess Xiling raised her eyes and looked at Feng Qingchen carefully: "You are indeed a beauty, very similar to your mother. It's a pity that she died too early, otherwise we could have been in-laws."
"Princess, you are joking." Feng Qingchen declined calmly without being humble or arrogant.
"Am I joking? I heard that you like my son very much?" Princess Xiling's words were meaningful. Others might not understand, but Feng Qingchen definitely could.
As expected, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Even if Jin Ling had done it secretly at the beginning, Feng Jin's identity was still exposed because of Lan Jingyang's disturbance in the imperial city.
Knowing the other party's intention, Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion: "When did Her Royal Highness the Princess have a son? Why haven't I heard any news about it?"
"I heard that Princess Xiling gave birth to a child, but the child died shortly after birth." A well-informed woman said. Feng Qingchen pretended to be enlightened: "No wonder I didn't know. Please accept my condolences, Princess. There will be more children in the future."
"He is indeed a sharp-tongued person, with the same character as Lu Yimo, not presentable enough." When Princess Xiling heard Feng Qingchen cursing her son to death, she was so angry that her words became much harsher.
In order to quell the incident, she only told others that the child had died. Now she was in a difficult situation. As for her other son, Zuo An, the princess did not dare to acknowledge him in public. If she made public the news of her illegitimate child, not only she but also Zuo An would be affected.
"My mother has passed away. Princess, please be kind and behave yourself to help future generations." Feng Qingchen put away the faint smile on his face and looked serious.
Princess Xiling sneered: "Accumulated blessings? Compared to those women who can't give birth to their own children and specialize in stealing other people's children, I have accumulated enough blessings to enjoy prosperity and wealth for generations."
The words were full of sarcasm, Feng Qingchen just pretended not to understand, and echoed: "Indeed, those restless women should be thrown into the pig cage."
The beauty and romantic affairs of Princess Xiling were known to all four kingdoms. Some young girls in the martial arts world had also inquired about it. Some who did not understand asked the people around them, and eventually they understood a little more.
For a moment, everyone looked at the eldest princess with more inquiry and distance in their eyes. Several women stepped back awkwardly, fearing that if they were to associate with the eldest princess, they would be regarded as the same kind of people.
Normal women would be ashamed to death if they encountered such a thing, but who is Princess Xiling? How could she take such a trivial matter seriously? Facing the contemptuous eyes of the crowd, the princess smiled even more brightly, stretched out her hand to poke Feng Qingchen on the forehead, and was not annoyed when Feng Qingchen dodged it. She said to Feng Qingchen with ill intentions: "Why do you sound so sour when I hear you say this? What's the matter? Miss Feng is envious? Come to think of it, the four countries all know that the Ninth Prince is not interested in women. Just now, my maid went forward to pour wine for the Ninth Prince, but was kicked away by the Ninth Prince. Miss Feng followed the Ninth Prince, which is really a pity for such a beautiful and lively beauty."
The eldest princess's bold words made the unmarried women blush, and the meaning revealed in her words made everyone even more curious. They looked at Feng Qingchen secretly, their eyes flashing with gossip: Is that noble and domineering Ninth Uncle really that bad?
It seems to be true. There seems to be no other woman around Feng Qingchen.
Oh my god, is this really impossible? Miss Feng is so pitiful.
Women's imaginations are amazing. In just a moment, everyone thought of a lot of things. The way they looked at Feng Qingchen was full of pity and sympathy. The little jealousy they had before turned into pity.
No matter how good the Ninth Prince is, and no matter how good he can give Feng Qingchen a noble status, he is just a useless man. What's the difference between him and a eunuch?
These people...are really bold. They probably haven't seen the methods of the Ninth Prince before, so they dare to gossip about him recklessly. Feng Qingchen looked at the eldest princess with a smile, and a hint of coldness flashed in his clear eyes.
Dare to tarnish the reputation of the Ninth Prince, the princess is courting death, but unfortunately the Princess of Xiling is now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. She has nothing now, so how can she care about the Ninth Prince? Seeing that Feng Qingchen did not speak, the princess approached again: "Poor girl, why don't you follow me? I will definitely find a good marriage for you. Even if there is no second man better than the Ninth Prince in the world, at least he can give you a child, so you don't have to adopt someone else's child for the sake of the Feng Mansion's incense.";
The eldest princess emphasized the word "child" very heavily, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Feng Qingchen was as if she was filled with poison for an instant.
If Feng Qingchen hadn't taken Feng Jin away, Feng Jin would be the Crown Prince of Xiling now, and even if she wasn't the Queen or the Empress Dowager, she could still be the most noble woman in Xiling. But all of this was ruined by Feng Qingchen...
