Feng Yunqi strode in, dressed in a purple court robe, exuding an air of grandeur.
Seeing Feng Yunqi approach, his imposing aura left the young ladies of the official families speechless. They bowed and greeted him, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Feng Yunqi's gaze swept over the Princess Consort of the City. The Princess Consort's heart tightened. She clearly sensed the displeasure in his gaze, so she quickly lowered her eyes, curtsied respectfully, and said, "This concubine greets Your Highness."
"What's all this noise about?!"
These words were clearly a question directed at the Princess Consort of the City.
But it also intimidated everyone so much that they dared not even breathe.
Before the Princess Consort could speak, Xue Jiajia raised her voice and said, "Cousin Yunqi, you must stand up for me and Princess Weiyang. Princess Weiyang and I had just arrived at the palace when we heard them talking badly about us behind our backs. These people even said that we disrupted today's flower viewing banquet."
"Also, I took the beauty pill that Mu Yazhi gave me and almost ruined my face. She's denying it now and keeps crying, saying I'm framing her. So I'm waiting for Cousin Ji to come over so I can see if I've really wronged her."
Xue Jiajia said angrily, showing no girl's modesty whatsoever.
Although she didn't have much contact with Feng Yunqi, their relationship was there. Even though Xue Jiajia was the young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion, she was still the cousin of these princes and nobles. Moreover, Xue Jiajia was always straightforward and said whatever she thought without considering the consequences.
Feng Yunqi's face darkened as he looked at the Princess Consort of the City. The Princess Consort trembled at the sight.
"Your Highness, it is my fault for not being a good host."
Wei Xu, who hadn't dared to speak until now, forced himself to stand up shakily, despite his physical discomfort. "Brother-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with my sister; it's all Mu Chenshuang's fault..."
She angrily pointed at Mu Chenshuang, wanting to throw the blame on her.
"Shut up!"
Feng Yunqi roared angrily, which made Wei Xu's face turn pale with fright.
Xue Jiajia added fuel to the fire, "Oh, Prince Wei just shouted that he wanted to teach Princess Weiyang a lesson for Mu Yazhi, but he was kicked by Princess Weiyang and vomited blood. Princess Cheng wanted to stand up for Prince Wei and even wanted to take Princess Weiyang to see His Majesty."
Xue Jiajia has always been outspoken and blunt. She speaks her mind without thinking about what she should or shouldn't say.
Princess Consort of the City stared at Xue Jiajia with wide eyes in horror, then quickly knelt down, "Your Highness, it's my fault. I didn't understand the cause and effect of the matter. I was too impulsive."
Mu Chenshuang stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, Your Highness's wife has done nothing wrong; she is simply worried and confused. It is malicious people who are deliberately sowing discord, and with all their chatter, how can Your Highness's wife possibly win against them all by herself?"
Mu Chenshuang's words surprised the Princess Consort of the City.
However, her pointed words made the group of officials' daughters timid, but with the city prince present, they dared not refute her.
Mu Yazhi was bold enough to step forward and say, "Your Highness, my sister and I had some misunderstandings and disturbed the Princess's flower-viewing banquet. It was my fault, and I hope you will not blame everyone."
His righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor garnered him another wave of goodwill.
At this moment, a guard came to report: "Your Highness, Prince Xiaoyao has arrived."
The words were spoken.
Mu Yazhi trembled slightly and her face turned pale, but she quickly realized something, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
"I hope the King of the City understands that things have come to this point and must be resolved," Mu Chenshuang said.
“Since this matter was caused by my royal residence, it should be resolved here.” Feng Yunqi looked at the guards. “Let Prince Xiaoyao in.”
"yes."
