"Oh."

A soft laugh escaped Chu Qianchen's lips.

Her laughter was so light and low that it was blown away by the wind.

But at this moment, in the silent bamboo shed, it was particularly obvious.

Chu Qianchen looked at the queen calmly and asked, "Did Her Majesty Queen ask me to come here just to say this?"

"If that's the case, then I won't accompany you."

Chu Qianchen smiled sweetly, stood up gracefully, then bowed perfunctorily to the Queen, turned around and left, not giving the Queen any face at all.

Andaman had already left anyway, so there was no need for her to stay here any longer.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Chu Qianchen walked away openly with a flick of his sleeves.

The nonchalant yet extremely graceful movement left many people stunned.

Yuan Zhitong was still holding the cup of tea in her hand, raised in front of her chest, neither moving up nor down, with even her knees slightly bent, looking very embarrassed.

Yuan Zhitong lowered her little head even lower, completely unable to look directly at everyone's gaze, and could only look at the queen.

The smile on the face of the queen at the top froze, and she raised her voice and shouted at Chu Qianchen: "Princess Chen!"

She no longer called her ninth brother's sister-in-law, nor did she act affectionately, and the anger in her tone was obvious.

If Chu Qianchen was just a palace maid, she would probably have been dragged away and beaten with thirty sticks by the Queen's order.

Chu Qianchen stopped and turned around, but did not go back. He stood in the same place, looking at the queen from a distance, and asked, "Does the queen have anything else to say?"

She seemed not to notice the stiff smile on the queen's face and the cup of tea in Yuan Zhitong's hand.

Queen: “…”

The Queen was so angry that her chest heaved violently. Nanny Shan hurriedly tried to calm the Queen down, whispering, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Chu Qianchen stroked the warm sleeve stove in his hand and said to himself in a calm voice: "It seems that everything is fine."

Before she finished her words, she turned around again and left. This time, she never looked back.

Everyone was silent, staring at each other in astonishment. The only impression they had of this young Princess Chen was -

Arrogant, too arrogant! Arrogant, too arrogant! Princess Chen doesn't care about her reputation, so now it's the Queen who is completely embarrassed.

Princess Li picked up the teacup again, secretly sighing that the Queen was trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.

If this incident today gets out, people will only say that the Queen can't discipline Princess Chen. How can the Queen, as the mother of the country, still have any dignity? !

"..." Yuan Zhitong was still holding the tea, her hand slipped slightly, and she almost dropped the teacup in her hand, her face and lips were pale.

There were extremely strong emotions surging in her eyes, so strong that they were about to overflow.

No matter whether she is a lady of aristocratic family or a commoner, as long as she lives in this world, she will inevitably be bound and restricted by the rules of ethics and morals. No matter whether she is the dignified Princess Jingle or the Crown Princess, she is no exception.

She didn't understand why Chu Qianchen could be so arrogant, ignoring etiquette, ignoring respect, ignoring everything! Yuan Zhitong stuffed the teacup to the maid, picked up her skirt and chased after Chu Qianchen: "Princess!"

She trotted to catch up with Chu Qianchen, and went around in front of her to block her way.

"Princess, don't you like me?" Yuan Zhitong looked at Chu Qianchen, who was only three steps away from her. Her eyes turned red and her voice rose a few degrees, enough for the people next door to hear her voice.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, anyone would have the guts to answer no.

What's more, she is the Queen Mother's niece.

Yuan Zhitong's eyelashes fluttered twice, and she looked directly at Chu Qianchen bravely with a calm expression, waiting for her answer.

result--

"yes."

Chu Qianchen nodded seriously at Yuan Zhitong.

Yuan Zhitong continued subconsciously: "It's my fault..."

She stopped talking halfway, and realized a beat late that Chu Qianchen answered "yes" instead of "no".

"Pfft." Someone laughed, and the voice was full of mockery.

Yuan Zhitong: “!”

Yuan Zhitong's pretty little face twisted slightly for a moment, but then returned to normal.

She blinked twice, and a layer of misty tears filled her eyes, looking extremely pitiful.

"Why?"

Her voice had a slight tremor, like a crabapple blossom in the wind and rain, which made people feel pity for her.

The smile on that delicate little face was as beautiful as a red plum blossom in full bloom in winter, enough to outshine all the other flowers.

"Too ugly." Chu Qianchen said seriously.

These two words were not lowered at all and were clearly heard by everyone.

The princesses present were shocked once again. There was surprise written on everyone's face, but each one was surprised in a different way.

Some of them secretly wondered whether Princess Chen's words about Yuan Zhitong being too ugly might be a double entendre.

It was obvious that her words were meant for the Queen to hear, as if she was telling the Emperor that she understood the Queen's intentions.

Several princesses from the royal family exchanged complicated glances, and two or three of them curled their lips with interest.

Chu Qianchen was not wrong in saying this. Yuan Zhitong was also a beauty with beautiful features when viewed alone.

However, people cannot be compared.

Yuan Zhitong is the kind of beautiful girl next door, with a gentle and elegant temperament, like a blooming white orchid, independent and non-aggressive, which makes most people feel comfortable with her.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Her appearance is simply incomparable to Chu Qianchen's. Chu Qianchen's face is extremely beautiful. In the entire Da Qi, it is probably difficult for anyone to compete with her. She is like a blooming Epiphyllum under the moon, the most beautiful among all the flowers.

Compared with Chu Qianchen, Yuan Zhitong, a beautiful woman with quite good looks, is not good enough at all.

Queen: “…”

Looking at Chu Qianchen, who was smiling like a flower and with bright eyes not far away, the queen was so stunned that she couldn't say a word, or rather, it was difficult for her to refute.

People always say that when marrying a virtuous wife, one should prioritize virtue over appearance, and only when taking a concubine will one consider appearance.

With the example of the stunningly beautiful princess Chu Qianchen, the queen could hardly help but feel that she was a little blind in wanting to stuff Yuan Zhitong into Prince Chen's mansion.

The queen's plump breasts began to rise and fall excitedly again, no longer as noble and graceful as before.

"..." Yuan Zhitong was even more angry than the Queen, and could hardly maintain the gentleness and weakness on her face.

She has been spoiled by her parents since she was a child, and has never been called ugly by anyone.

“Hehehe.”

Suddenly, a clear laugh broke the strange atmosphere. The girl's laughter was innocent and clear as a silver bell.

Everyone knew that the Queen was furious. At this moment, perhaps only the third princess, Anle, could still smile.

"Yes, Aunt Jiuhuang is beautiful," Anle looked at Yuan Zhitong innocently and frankly and said, "You are ugly."

Anle actually had no idea what the Queen, Chu Qianchen, and Yuan Zhitong were talking about just now, but Chu Qianchen's words "too ugly" were easy to understand and resonated with Anle.

Isn't it obvious?

Sister Chen, no, Aunt Jiuhuang is the prettiest! Anle's words were like a slap in the face of Yuan Zhitong. She couldn't hold it in any longer. Her face turned blue, red, and white, and she was extremely ashamed and angry.

Not only was she humiliated by Chu Qianchen, but she was also openly called ugly by Chu Qianchen and the third princess.

But the Third Princess was the Queen's biological daughter. How could Yuan Zhitong dare to confront Anle in public? She could only look at the Queen helplessly, hoping that the Queen would make the decision for her.

"..." The queen's face was not good either, but it was Anle who said Yuan Zhitong was ugly, and she couldn't just scold her daughter.

Especially since her daughter is about to marry Nan Hao, who is thousands of miles away, it is foreseeable that they will never meet again in this lifetime.

This is the helplessness of being a royal princess.

The Queen felt distressed, guilty, sympathetic, and reluctant to let Anle go. The time they spent together as mother and daughter was getting less and less each day. How could the Queen speak ill of her daughter?

The third princess is still so cute! When Chu Qianchen looked at Anle, the smile on his face became much more pure and sincere, soft and kind, and dazzling.

"Aunt Jiuhuang, you look so beautiful when you smile!" Anle clapped his hands happily, his eyes lit up and sparkled like gems.

Yuan Zhitong: “!!!”

At this moment, several princesses were amused by Anle and laughed out loud.

Yuan Zhitong's cheeks burned even more fiercely, and a fire of anger in her heart was burning her reason bit by bit.

She took several deep breaths. Since the queen could not be relied upon, she could only save herself.

She knew from a young age that the glory of her parents and family could add color to her, but she still had to rely on herself to get what she wanted.

She got everything she wanted before.

Now, she can do the same.

The third princess had a serious illness when she was young, and her intelligence remained at the level of a six or seven-year-old, as mentioned in the previous article. So she seems a little ignorant of the world.
