comes into contact with water. That's why we..." Before she could finish her sentence, a large tear rolled down her cheek.Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!"I understand, this was...Several times, Xiao Yuge almost blurted out and asked the Empress Dowager why she had given Qian Tingxuan such a vicious poison. But when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back with difficulty. Her senior brother was right, they couldn't startle the snake. Otherwise, it would only accelerate Qian Tingxuan's death.

After leaving Shoukang Palace, Xiao Yuge stretched contentedly, enjoying the rare good weather.

"Qingluo, come on, let's go sunbathe!" Xiao Yuge was in a rare good mood.

Before she had walked far, a domineering voice came from the side: "Let the old lady marry a cripple and still have to serve him every day, he even dared to give the old lady a cold face! Who does he think he is If not for his royal prince status, I wouldn't marry him!"

"Your Highness, just bear with it. This is the umpteenth time. The master said if you anger His Royal Highness again, he won't let you enter the house." The maid beside her advised earnestly.

"I can't stand it! How can I possibly stand this A cripple, letting me become a widow is bad enough, but to ignore me like that too! He's just a useless man. One day, I will make him regret everything!"

"Your Highness, please don't say any more." Even the maidservant beside her was frightened.

"Everyone's laughing at my jokes, and I don't even have the right to speak Who dares to gossip about me behind my back, I'll make her pay!" Zhang Yan stormed over, almost bumping into Xiao Yuge. She didn't even look up as she scolded, "Who in the world is this blind fool who dares to block my way!"

Xiao Yuge pursed her lips and stared at the woman before her, who had a fierce look. She thought to herself: This must be Qian Yi'an's wife, Zhang Yan, the eldest daughter of Zhang Taishou

"Bold! Having seen Lady Consort of the Grand Prince, you still haven't bowed!" A maidservant beside her hastily rebuked.

"The Emperor has granted me, Xiao Yuge, the privilege of moving freely within the palace. I am exempt from bowing to anyone except the Emperor and Empress!" Xiao Yuge stood tall.

“You are Xiao Yu Ge” Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan saw Xiao Yu Ge, her rosy face turned pale instantly, and even her eyes became fierce: “Sure enough, you look like a fox spirit. No wonder even Qian Yi An, such a disabled person, was bewitched by you!”

"Your Highness, be careful with your words!" Xiao Yuge's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Mind your words Hmph!" Zhang Yan was looking for an outlet for her frustration and happened to run into Xiao Yuge, so she decided to take it out on her: "Let me tell you, don't think that by hooking up with the Prince, you can flaunt your power in front of me. Others may put up with you, but I won't! Bring someone here, and restrain her for me!"

"You dare!" Qing Luo stepped forward.

"A little maidservant, dares to stand before this princess Come here, slap her for me!" Zhang Yan saw that even a lowly maidservant dared to block her way, and her anger flared up instantly. Her demeanor was as if she wouldn't rest until Xiao Yu Ge and her servant were taught a lesson.

"I'll see who of you dares to touch her!" Xiao Yuge's eyes turned cold as she shielded Qing Luo behind her. They could touch her, but those around her Absolutely not!

"I've seen the renowned Princess Xian!" Xiao Yufu, who had heard the commotion, also came over.

"County Princess" Seeing Xiao Yu-fu, Zhang Yan narrowed her eyes, her face seeming to ease a little.

Xiao Yu Fu, on the other hand, was very well-mannered. She bowed to Zhang Yan and said, “Your Highness, my younger sister is not often in the palace, and she doesn't know the palace etiquette. If she has offended Your Highness, please forgive her this time.”

"I've heard for a long time that the two daughters of the Xiao family had their identities swapped from childhood. And it makes sense, as the county princess is so noble and well-mannered, she must be the legitimate eldest daughter. It seems that fakes are always exposed; a wild child with no background, crude and uncouth, naturally wouldn't dare to show her face."

"Our young lady is not a bastard!" Qing Luo hated it most when people looked down on their young lady like this. Even if she was afraid, she had to fight back.

"Without parents, not even knowing where they came from, are they wild children or something else" Zhang Yan sneered, a face full of mockery.

"Our young lady is not a wild child!" Qing Luo retorted, indignant.

"Bold! You, a mere girl, dare to be so rude to this Princess!"

"Qing Luo, why don't you quickly apologize to the Princess Consort!" Xiao Yu Fu also chimed in beside her, fanning the flames: "You are at least a servant girl who came out of our Xiangfu, how can you be so disrespectful! Apologize quickly!"

"No need!" Xiao Yu Ge stepped in front of Qing Luo, protecting her. "My people did nothing wrong; there's no need to apologize!"

“Xiao Yu Ge, you dare to disrespect this princess If I don't punish you today, everyone will ride on top of this princess in the future! Come here! Arrest them both and beat them severely until they admit their mistake!”

Xiao Yu Fu, pretending to be alarmed, pleaded with Zhang Yan: "Your Highness, my younger sister is wild and used to being protected by the King and others. That's why she acts so arrogantly. Lately, she has also had a falling out with the King, and might be in a bad mood. Please forgive them this time."This wasn't a plea for mercy; it was a blatant provocation, clearly telling Zhang Yan that Xiao Yu Ge and Qian Ting Xuan had quarreled, and no one would back her up now.

"Hm Someone protecting her I'd like to see. Today, who dares to protect her!" Zhang Yan wasn't stupid; she immediately understood and sounded even more confident: "You there! Hold them down for me!"

“Hold on!” Xiao Yuge leisurely looked at her fingers: “Lady Xian, I advise you best to act as if nothing has happened right now. You go that way, we go this way, and everyone stays safe and sound. It benefits us all. But if you insist on doing this, you will definitely regret it!”

"This is the palace. Do you think you can still turn the heavens upside down here!" Zhang Yan waved her hand, and the eunuchs and maidservants around her pretended to step forward and grab Xiao Yuge's master and servant.

"Stop!" a voice shouted from the side.

"Your Highness, Prince Xian!" Everyone hurriedly bowed, even though he was disabled, he was still a prince, Your Highness, Prince Xian. Respect is paramount.

This was also Xiao Yu Ge's first time seeing him have such a stern side. It was completely different from the weak and easily bullied appearance he had before, like two different people.

Upon turning around, she saw Qian Yi'an. Zhang Yan's face contorted in disdain: "Your Highness, this lowly maidservant showed me disrespect. Do I not even have the right to punish a lowly maidservant"

"Slave girl" Qian Yi'an sneered: "Even ten of you wouldn't be able to compare to one finger of hers! Get back where you belong and stop embarrassing me here!"

“What did you say” Zhang Yan didn't expect him to not only publicly defend Xiao Yuge in front of so many people, but also slander her like this. In a fit of rage, she spoke without restraint and pointed at Qian Yi'an, cursing: “Qian Yi'an! Who do you think you are You're just a cripple, useless on the surface and even more useless below! If you weren't a prince, I wouldn't marry you, this crippled widow! The fact that I married you is because you burned incense for eight lifetimes. You useless wimp, living is a waste of air, you should have died long ago and reincarnated!”

"Presumptuous!"eep him calm. Her conversation with her senior brother later couldn't be overheard by him."Alright, I'll listen to the young mistress." Qian Tingxuan unexpectedly became obedient.Xiao Yuge didn't get...
