Qian Qing laughed. Then, she said confidently, “Eldest Princess, just you wait. I promise to help you anger Chu Zhihe and the others to death!”
“Alright. Then let me help you too…” Yu Yunxi said as she waved Qian Qing over. She picked up a brush and began to draw something between Qian Qing’s brows.
“Eldest Princess, you…
“Hush, don’t move. This is the first time I’m doing this,” Yu Yunxi said softly.
Qian Qing fell silent immediately as her heart raced in her chest.
The Empress Dowager looked around her surroundings. When she realized that Yu Yunxi was nowhere to be seen, she asked coldly, “What time is it now? Why isn’t the Eldest Princess here yet?”
Du Wenxin stepped forward and held the Empress Dowager’s arm before she said reassuringly, “Aunt, Yunxi took the initiative to copy scriptures for the Emperor Emeritus last night. I guess she’s too tired…
‘Took the initiative to copy scriptures for the Emperor Emeritus?’
Consort Mu sneered. At the same time, she was reminded of Chu Zhihe.
‘Zhihe had to kneel and copy scriptures all night despite her noble status. It’s all the fault of that b*tch, Yu Yunxi! Zhihe almost could not walk this morning, and her hands were trembling!’
At the same time, Consort Mu also understood that the Empress Dowager must have forced Yu Yunxi to copy scriptures. After all, the Empress Dowager’s dislike for Yu Yunxi was obvious to all. Regardless, she was happy that someone had dealt with Yu Yunxi, and she naturally would not let go of the chance to add fuel to the fire.
Consort Mu held Chu Zhihe’s hand and said lightly, “Zhihe also copied scriptures the entire night. In fact, she’s very exhausted. However, when she thought about praying for Xichu today, she insisted on coming along.”
At this moment, Chu Zhihe leaned against Consort Mu weakly, and her face was pale. It seemed like she had grown a little smarter today. Previously, she would wear her best dress and jewelry. However today, she did not wear any jewelry, and she only wore a plain dress. Coupled with her weak appearance, she looked like a frail beauty, making people pity her. Many people began to whisper among themselves.
“The Sixth Princess is really sincere.”
“As expected of the Emperor’s daughter. She’s always thinking about Xichu.”
“Although the Sixth Princess was a little muddle-headed yesterday, she’s not a bad person.”
“The matter yesterday was so big. Who knows if the Eldest Princess framed the Sixth Princess?”
At this time, Chu Zhiya, who was missing yesterday, walked to Chu Zhihe with delicate steps and said lovingly, “Sixth Sister, it’s been hard on you. I brought ginseng here. I’ll ask someone to make ginseng soup for you later.”
With this, the whispering began again.
“The Third Princess is always so kind.”
“That’s right. The Eldest Princess made things difficult for the Sixth Princess, but the Third Princess has been protecting the Sixth Princess for so many years.”
“After all, the Eldest Princess isn’t the Emperor’s daughter. Why would she be kind to the other princesses? Only sisters will treat each other sincerely…”
Chu Zhihe was very dependent on Chu Zhiya. She felt that her third sister was the best to her among all her siblings, including her seventh brother. As such, she was not resistant to Chu Zhiya and wanted to respond to Chu Zhiya.
However, before Chu Zhihe could do anything, Consort Mu grabbed Chu Zhihe’s hand and said to Chu Zhiya in an unfriendly tone, “Thank you, Third
Princess, but I’ll take care of Zhihe.’
‘This b*tch think I don’t know that she’s been using Zhihe all these years… This Chu Zhiya is just as annoying as her mother!’
“Mother,” Chu Zhihe protested, still wanting to say something to Chu Zhiya. However, when she saw Consort Mu’s cold gaze, she could only fall silent.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager said meaningfully, “Alright, all of you are very thoughtful. It’s just that some people have a noble status, but they don’t have the slightest sincerity toward Xichu at all.”
Then, the Empress Dowager asked, “Didn’t the Eldest Princess copy the scriptures last night? Where are they?”
Meng Xia walked forward, holding a stack of scriptures as she said, “Empress Dowager, the copied scriptures are here. As for the Eldest Princess, she’ll be here soon.”
‘Did Yu Yunxi really copy the scriptures?’
The Empress gestured for someone to bring the scriptures to her before she flipped through them.
‘These are clearly the handwriting of my servants! How dare she!’
The Empress Dowager was just about to lose her temper again when a lazy voice suddenly rang in the air.
“Imperial Grandmother, why are you angry again?”
Everyone turned around in unison.
A stunning figure walked over slowly. She was dressed in a luxurious dress, and the flowers on her skirt were exquisite. Her slender eyebrows framed her bright and enchanting eyes, and her facial features were perfect. All in all, she was gorgeous.
Many people were momentarily distracted. After all, Yu Yunxi was usually dressed very simply, looking like a lonely lotus. However, today, she was dressed in such a way that it made her surroundings pale in comparison.
Feng Yili, who was holding the little bun in his arms, was in a daze even though he knew his Princess Consort was very charming. His eyes burned with emotions as he stared at her.
Meanwhile, Luo Xiuran, who was standing behind Feng Yili, was also in a daze, but for a completely different reason. His gaze was not on Yu Yunxi at all, but it was on Qian Qing, who was next to Yu Yunxi.
Qian Qing was always very valiant and heroic, but today, she was dressed in a bright dress, and she wore light makeup. She was incomparably beautiful.
Luo Xiuran clutched his chest as though he feared it would leap out of his chest.
Seeing Luo Xiuran who looked as though he had lost his soul, the little bun patted Luo Xiuran’s arm and said helplessly, “Uncle Xiuran, your eyeballs are about to pop out of their sockets.”
Luo Xiuran scoffed and retorted, “You should remind your father as well. He’s not any better than me.”
The little bun looked up at his father and saw his father staring at his mother unblinkingly. He sighed inwardly, thinking, ‘These men…’
The Empress Dowager berated immediately, “Eldest Princess, we’re praying for blessings today. How dare you dress so ostentatiously! Where’s your sincerity?”
The Empress Dowager was also distracted when she looked at Yu Yunxi. She felt as though she was seeing Empress Emerita Xiao from back then. In fact, Chu Changing was not very similar to Empress Emerita Xiao. Perhaps that was why she did not take Chu Changing very seriously. However, when she looked at Yu Yunxi now, she actually felt like Yu Yunxi was here to take her life. When she regained her senses, she broke out in cold sweat. At the same time, anger rose in her heart, and she immediately vented her anger on Yu Yunxi.
Meanwhile, the others also regained their senses after listening to the Empress Dowager’s words. They looked at Yu Yunxi’s luxurious clothes before they looked at Chu Zhihe and Chu Zhiya’s simple but elegant dresses. They sighed inwardly.
‘That’s right. We’re here to pray for blessings. It’s really inappropriate for the Eldest Princess to dress up so magnificently. Does she treat this place as a pleasure house? As expected of someone who grew up among the commoners. She doesn’t know etiquette at all, and her upbringing is terrible… In comparison, look at the princesses born by the Emperor.. This is what a princess of Xichu should be like…’
