Master Zhao was trying to please the Princess of Pingyang, but to his surprise, his face turned pale. He was holding the tea in his hand, not knowing whether to drink or not. His face was full of embarrassment.

Madam Zhao was not happy to see her master humiliated. However, as the Princess of Pingyang, she dared not offend her. She ordered someone to bring her a new cup of tea and asked, "May I know why you are here today?"

Princess Pingyang smiled, the beads at her sides collided with each other as she said in a melodious voice, "Nothing much, I just heard that there was a quarrel between the two children, so I brought Xijun to apologize to you, this child, has been spoiled bad by me and the prince since childhood, once you start having a good temper, you don't care about it, you don't care about the severity, it makes me feel wronged, I feel really sorry for you."

Marquis Zhao was flattered by Princess Pingyang's words. He quickly said, "Princess, you are being too serious. The two children are in an awkward situation, so there's no need to worry."

"A mistake is a mistake." Princess Pingyang's gaze turned toward Shen Xijun, who was playing with the jade on her waist. She said, "Why aren't you quickly asking Master Zhao and Madam Zhao to apologize?"

Shen Xijun pouted and did not move. Previously, she was already full of unwillingness to be bowed to the Zhao Family members. Now, she was even more unwilling to apologize and admit her mistakes.

Marquis Zhao waved his hand. "It's just a small matter. It's all in the past now, so don't make things difficult for Zong Ji anymore."

Princess Pingyang ignored him. She stared at Shen Xijun and said, "You don't even want to listen to your mother's words?"

This time, Princess Pingyang's tone was a lot more serious than before. Shen Xijun was still a bit afraid of her, but her eyes were filled with tears. She kneeled down and said, "This prince doesn't know anything. Please forgive me."

"Zong Ji's words are too serious." Marquis Zhao and his wife hurriedly helped her up. However, this way, most of the feelings they had in their hearts had disappeared.

After Shen Xijun returned, Princess Pingyang looked around and smiled. "Why isn't there any peace? Are you still angry at me?"

Madame Zhao hastened to say, "How could that be? She's just in her room and doesn't know that esteemed wangfei and Zong Ji have arrived." After saying that, she stood up and said, "I'll go call Pingqing over right now."

Madame Zhao walked all the way to Zhao Qingping's room in the east wing room. After forcing the door open, she came to Zhao Pingqing, who was crying on the table, and told him everything that had happened in the main hall while stroking her twitching back. She then said, "Mother knows that you have been wronged, but Princess Pingyang has personally come with Chang Rong Sect to apologize. The Pingyang Mansion is not something we can offend. "

Zhao Pingqing raised her tear-stained face and looked at Lady Zhao. After a while, she nodded and choked with sobs, "I will listen to mother."

"Good boy." Madame Zhao nodded with satisfaction and used a handkerchief to wipe her tears away. She dragged her all the way to the main hall. Even though she still felt wronged, Zhao Pingqing still obediently bowed to her.

Princess Pingyang waved her over. She looked at her carefully and said amiably, "Look at those red and swollen eyes. They must have been crying. It's so painful."

Zhao Pingqing looked at Shen Xijun, who had a stern expression on her face, and said quietly, "Actually, Big Sister Shen was not wrong in reprimanding me earlier. There is something wrong with Pingqing."

Princess Pingyang smiled. After motioning for her to return to Lady Zhao's side, she caressed her fragrant dress and said, "Since you've finished your thing, it's time to talk about something else."

The Zhao couple looked at each other and asked doubtfully, "May I ask, wangfei, what else do you want?"

Princess Pingyang took Shen Xijun's hand and patted her gently, "This daughter of mine has been spoiled since she was young. Whether it was me or the empress dowager, they all doted on her and didn't want her to suffer any grievances. This made her extremely pure in character, making her unable to conceal her wickedness, and even less able to understand the sinister principles of the human heart.

Marquis Zhao wasn't sure why she had suddenly said these words. He carefully smiled apologetically and said, "The status of the Prosperous Court's chief is honorable. Who would dare to scheme against her?"

"I thought so too. It was only now that I realized that there was actually someone who was so daring." Although Princess Pingyang's carefully described face still had a smile plastered on it, her phoenix eyes were as cold as autumn frost, and there was no trace of a smile in them.

Marquis Zhao vaguely sensed that something was amiss and asked with a slight worry, "Princess, where did you come from?"

Princess Pingyang said coldly, "Since when did Marquis Zhao learn to ask such questions?"

Marquis Zhao's voice trembled slightly. "The wangfei's words …" "Where do you want to start?"

Madame Zhao continued, "That's right, Old Master and I don't know anything."

Princess Pingyang smiled coldly. She turned to Zhao Pingqing, who was biting her lips. "What about you? You don't know either?"

Zhao Pingqing was shaking. She looked at Princess Pingyang timidly. "I don't know. Please tell me."

Seeing her like this, Shen Xijun couldn't help but be angered. She frowned as she walked up and scolded, "Stop acting pitiful here. Let me tell you …"

"Cherish the king!" Princess Pingyang glanced at her and interrupted, "How do I usually teach you? You have no sense of propriety, so why aren't you leaving?"

Shen Xijun was burning with anger, how could she be willing to back down now? "I'm not wrong, she …"

Princess Pingyang's face turned cold as she shouted, "Have you forgotten what I said to you before we left?!"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Shen Xijun's face. After remaining silent for a while, she retreated. However, her resentful gaze never left Shen Xijun's body, causing the latter to feel uncomfortable all over.

After settling this small conflict, Princess Pingyang flicked her fingernails that were painted with magenta cardamom and continued, "I have a straightforward personality, so there are not many people that I have to deal with. I have always treated you as my daughter, and I have never forgotten to prepare a copy for you. Ping Qing, is what I said true?"

Zhao Pingqing felt lucky. Her bright ears were shaking on her white neck. "Princess has been peaceful all her life. I will remember her."

"I'll remember this for the rest of my life …" Princess Pingyang smiled. She waved her sleeves with complicated patterns and said, "Pingyang, you still talk so well that no one will notice you. No wonder you tricked me too."

Zhao Pingqing was flustered. She shook his head and said, "What do you mean by that? I have never lied to you before."

Madame Zhao couldn't help but say, "That's right. Pingqing never lies or lies. Imperial Concubine, you must have misunderstood."
