The sun is warm and the breeze is gentle.

In the Lotus Root Courtyard, Qian Lingshuang held her waist with one hand and strolled in the courtyard with her big belly. Juanzi held an umbrella for her at the side to protect her from the sun.

"Stop holding an umbrella. The sun is not poisonous at this time, so it's good to get some sunshine." Qian Lingshuang said.

Juanzi stretched out her hand and tried it before putting the umbrella away with confidence.

"Really? It's terrible..."

There was a sudden sound outside the courtyard wall, and Qian Lingshuang and Juanzi stopped involuntarily.

"Of course it's true! It has spread throughout Kyoto. Princess Qian Ning's face was injured. She beats and scolded the servants in the mansion all day long, and even scratched a dancer's face with a knife!"

"What's going on?"

"Princess Qian Ning disliked the name of the dancer. She wanted to change her name, but she disagreed and said that her name was given by her deceased mother. As a result, Princess Qian Ning scratched her face, cut out her tongue, and dug out her name.

Both eyes were removed."

"Oh my god! She is a princess of a country, but she is so cruel! The dancer is also a human being, but she has no mercy at all."

"Not only that, Princess Qian Ning also changed the name of a dancer! Guess whose name was changed?"

"who?"

"The name of the regent princess. This dancer is now being raised as a dog by Princess Qian Ning, tied with an iron chain, and beaten at every turn."

"It's simply appalling..."

Outside the courtyard wall, two little girls were chatting.

After hearing these words, Qian Lingshuang's breathing gradually became rapid.

"Juanzi, call them in."

"Miss……"

Juanzi was a little hesitant. The young lady was pregnant now, and the imperial doctor had told her not to get angry.

"Go quickly!"

"yes……"

Qian Lingshuang walked to the door, and the two little girls quickly walked away after seeing it.

"Stop, you two come over and help prune the flower branches."

"yes."

The two little girls lowered their heads with some guilt, followed Juanzi into the Ouxiang Courtyard, and came to the imperial concubine.

"Please tell me more clearly, what is going on in Hengqianyuan? How did you know about it?" Qian Lingshuang asked.

"this……"

The two little girls looked at each other, and sure enough, their conversation just now was overheard by the Crown Princess!

"Hurry up and say it! If you don't say it, I will immediately send someone to report to the Crown Prince and drive you two gossiping women out!" Juanzi said.

When she said this, the two little girls did not dare to talk nonsense anymore, so they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Prince Princess, spare your life!"

"We don't dare anymore."

Qian Lingshuang took a deep breath and asked: "What happened? Please tell me in detail. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"As for the concubine, I heard from the mothers who bought her that Princess Qian Ning cut a dancer's face, cut out her tongue, and gouged out her eyes in the Hengqian Courtyard.

"said a thin little girl.

"Is it really just because this dancer doesn't want to change her name?" Juanzi couldn't believe it.

"I heard this from my mothers..." the little girl said again.

"Where is the Princess Regent? What's going on?" Qian Lingshuang asked.

"Back to the princess, the mothers said that Princess Qian Ning changed the name of a dancer and took... the name of the regent princess. She also kept her as a dog and often beat her and scolded her." The little girl answered.

Qian Lingshuang frowned and his breathing became more rapid.

"Okay, you two can go. Remember, no matter who asks, just say that you are helping to prune flowers in the Lotus Root Courtyard, do you understand?" Juanzi said.

"Understood, I will leave this slave."

After the two little girls left, Juanzi looked at Qian Lingshuang worriedly and said, "Miss, let's go back to the house and rest first. We have been gone for a long time today."

"Um."

Returning to the Nuan Pavilion in Ou Xiangyuan, Qian Lingshuang has been sitting quietly on the couch.

Juanzi sent everyone else out and asked: "Miss, are you okay?"

"Nothing." Qian Lingshuang said and picked up the water glass.

Juanzi sighed, "This Princess Qian Ning is so arrogant! I have never heard of such a princess! How could she be so cruel after growing up in fine clothes and fine food?"

Qian Lingshuang suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect that she would be so unscrupulous."

Juanzi suddenly panicked and asked: "Miss, why are you still smiling?"

"What happened in Hengqian Courtyard, why do you think it was spread to Prince Heng's Mansion?" Qian Lingshuang put down the water glass, picked up a fruit and put it into his mouth.

"This...of course someone did it intentionally." Juanzi said.

"That's right. But the Crown Prince definitely doesn't want everyone in Kyoto to know what happened in Hengqianyuan, otherwise he will be criticized by the government and the public. Now that the news has reached Prince Heng's Mansion, it proves that everyone in Kyoto has almost

We all know it." Qian Lingshuang said.

Juanzi scratched her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, that's right, the Crown Prince definitely doesn't want the people in Prince Heng's Mansion to know about this, so the people in Prince Heng's Mansion should be the last to know."

"This matter must also be attributed to Shen Qinglan and the Prince Regent. Now, His Highness the Fifth Prince is about to ascend the throne, and the Prince Regent personally recommended it. Regardless of whether there is a deal between the two, it can be proved that the Prince Regent is on the side of His Highness the Fifth Prince.

Therefore, His Highness the Fifth Prince should also be considered Zhao Yi’s enemy." Qian Lingshuang analyzed.

"Well, what the lady said makes sense."

"Princess Qian Ning is the princess of the Xiao Kingdom and can also be regarded as an envoy of the Xiao Kingdom. Now, she lives in Hengqianyuan and behaves wantonly in Kyoto. The people and officials will definitely condemn it when they learn about it. Zhao Yi wants to use Xiao Qian

Ning, come and deal with the Fifth Highness and the Prince Regent. At this time, he has probably already formed a team with the Queen Mother. When these things spread to the capital, the matter of Xiao Qianning marrying Zhao Yi will be eased a lot." Qian Ling

Shuang said again.

"It seems that these people are your backing, young lady, and our Qian family's backing," Juanzi said with a smile.

"yes."

After Qian Lingshuang said that, Zhao Yi suddenly entered the door.

"What back-up?"

Qian Lingshuang was shocked, but he didn't show it. He stood up and said, "Why is the prince coming here at this time?"

"I have a rest today, so I came to see you." After Zhao Yi said that, he stepped forward and helped her sit down on the couch.

"Shouldn't the Crown Prince accompany Princess Qian Ning at this time? I heard that Princess Qian Ning has done many important things in Hengqian Courtyard recently, which is unbearable to hear, but the Crown Prince still blindly shields her. There are already people in Kyoto now.

Everyone knows that the prince is not afraid of his reputation being damaged." Qian Ling said happily.

Zhao Yi sighed softly, "You know everything."

"Since everyone knows it, it's not surprising that I know about it. Now my Qian family has become a joke in the whole capital, and I, the Crown Princess, exist in name only and am ridiculed by others. Crown Prince, it's better for you and me to be together.

In this way, we can save the face of both our families." Qian Ling said happily.

"Ah Shuang, I have already said that I will never marry Xiao Qianning." Zhao Yi was a little helpless.
