Chapter 216 - Princess Yun Shu

"If wangfei doesn't have a ghost in her heart, how can you panic when this duke looks at you like that?" Xiao Qingqian said, as he closed in.

Wei Qing's heartbeat suddenly stopped. He coughed lightly and pushed him, "Pay attention to the impact."

How could she still have any face in the future when he did this in front of so many people?

Xiao Qingqian, however, did not cower in the slightest. He practically whispered into her ear, "This king is the one who thinks highly of the wangfei and wants to flatter her to the heavens. Who dares to act cocky?"

Wei Qing really felt that Xiao Qingqian's brain was filled with water recently, someone like him, how could he possibly spoil her?

Just as he was about to retort back, a tall and exceptionally sweet looking lady appeared outside the palace gate.

Wei Qing was attracted by her and blinked her eyes.

Xiao Qingqian turned his head to look, and his brows slightly moved, "Yun Shu?"

"Who is that?" Wei Qing asked.

"Royal Grandmother's granddaughter, Princess Yun Shu."

Wei Qing simply did not search her mind for anything. With the original owner's brain, she would probably only be able to contain Xiao Qingqian and would not be able to see anyone else.

"Princess Yun Shu also attended such a family banquet often in the past?" Wei Qing asked curiously.

Xiao Qingqian looked to be deep in thought, he could not understand why Yun Shu would suddenly appear here.

Sensing Wei Qing's questioning gaze on them, Yun Shu turned and smiled, then walked towards the empress dowager with light steps.

The empress dowager truly doted on Yun Shu, she was not one bit inferior to her or to her peace.

Wei Qing frowned as she thought about it.

"Are all the princesses married?"

Xiao Qingqian shook his head, "After An Ran, there's still one more sister. She's still young, not even 15 years old yet."

Wei Qing revealed a look as if he was looking at an idiot, which made Xiao Qingqian a little unhappy, but in an instant, he understood what Wei Qing meant.

Felerol was a prince of the Sea Country, and it was said that among the four nations, whoever could take the lead in opening up trade with the Sea Country, would be the one standing at the top.

The Old Emperor was good at scheming and would naturally not let go of such a perfect opportunity. It was just that there was no one amongst his own daughters who was suitable for marriage, so he had to think of another way.

No matter what, Yun Shu could be considered to be part of the royal family. She had good looks and every move she made was elegant and generous.

However, with Felerol's looks, would Yun Shu agree?

Wei Qing felt that this marriage was not easy.

Xiao Qingqian raised the end of his brows, "Don't randomly guess royal father's thoughts. You really can't figure out what he's thinking."

Wei Qing answered with a somber "En", "I just feel that the fates of the women of this era are truly tragic."

A woman from ancient times …

Xiao Qingqian frowned, "What do you mean?"

In the past, he treated Wei Qing as a thorn in his side, and did not pay too much attention to her. But recently, they had interacted more and more with each other, and he felt that Wei Qing was really strange.

"Nothing." Realizing that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, Wei Qing replied carelessly, "I was just sighing."

"This is the Magnificent Hall. Be careful of the words that come out of your mouth." Xiao Qingqian reminded his in good faith.

When he gave her a foot, she naturally gave him a foot as well. She nodded. "I understand."

At this time, the secret guard beside Xiao Hanqi rushed over to the Hua Rong Hall and reported to the empress dowager. The empress dowager's expression suddenly changed.

Although she didn't like Xiao Hanqi, she knew that Jin Qiao’er was her great-grandson after all. Hearing what she said, she naturally wanted to go over and take a look.

"Wei Qing." The empress dowager was supported up by An Ran and Yun Shu. As she was walking out, she turned her head to look at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat and after rolling her eyes for a bit, she quickly guessed what it was.

Xiao Hanqi had just had a round of retorts from her, and Jin Qiao’er did not benefit much from it previously, so she would naturally take advantage of this matter and cause a ruckus.

They might even say that it was out of jealousy!

The empress dowager wanted to speak, but hesitated. She thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Follow This Dowager to take a look at the Crown Prince's Consort first."

Naturally, Xiao Qingqian could not be at ease about Wei Qing going over himself. He had to follow her, because when the empress dowager's expression darkened, Xiao Qingqian dispelled the notion of accompanying her over, and only looked at Wei Qing worriedly.

"Yun Shu, you stay behind too." Empress Dowager looked at Yun Shu again.

Yun Shu pursed her lips, and obediently nodded.

When the empress dowager, An Ran and Wei Qing left the palace, the empress dowager's expression suddenly grew cold. "Wei Qing, This Dowager really does like you, but you can't do such a thing."

Wei Qing laughed coldly in her heart.

The imperial power was of utmost importance. No matter how much the empress dowager had liked her before, once it involved the imperial heir, she would definitely criticize him indiscriminately.

Wei Qing's face did not reveal any signs of panic, but An Ran anxiously tried to defend Wei Qing.

"Royal Grandmother, it's not like you don't know Jin Qiao’er's character. As daughters, they liked to bluff when they had nothing to do. "Relying on myself …"

"Alright!"

An Ran hadn't finished speaking when she was interrupted by the empress dowager's dark expression. An Ran opened her mouth and shut it unwillingly.

Wei Qing shook his head at her. Since this Jin Qiao’er wanted to go against her so much, and had no end to it, she was naturally willing to accompany him.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, this humble one doesn't understand what it means by 'this humble one has harmed an imperial heir'!"

Seeing her pair of calm eyes, the empress dowager frowned. She couldn't help but think that it might be Xiao Hanqi and the others bluffing.

"Empress Dowager, on the way here, Your Highness and I met the crown prince and the Crown Prince's Consort. I only said two sentences, but I didn't do anything excessive! I truly do not understand how I managed to harm your son. "

The empress dowager thought for a moment. It was indeed useless to hold each other's tongue, as it would only break up the relationship between the imperial brothers.

"Let's follow This Dowager and take a look!"

"That's not good." Wei Qing wanted to say something but hesitated.

The empress dowager was originally stifled by this matter, but when she saw Wei Qing trying to shirk the responsibility, the rage in her heart uncontrollably rose.

If Wei Qing followed her obediently, she would naturally think that Jin Qiao’er was bluffing and cause trouble. But Wei Qing was not willing to follow her in, so she had to think deeply about this matter.

Wei Qing could naturally guess what the empress dowager was thinking. However, she was still fearless. "Empress Dowager, it really isn't good for me to go over."

"What do you mean?" The empress dowager's voice was like ice as she looked at her with a sharp gaze.

An Xin became anxious, "Third royal sister-in-law, don't disobey Royal Grandmother!"

Wei Qing looked at the empress dowager calmly, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, I only said a few casual words with Crown Prince's Consort just now, and then I was said to have harmed an heir of the empress. If I were to follow you over now, I'm sure it would have happened!"
