Chapter 215: Vigorous and Courageous
"Pearl!"
Emperor Yongqing, who was reading the crab-raising recipe written by Tang Qiyue, chuckled, "Have you forgotten what I said?"
Xie Mingzhu was aggrieved, "Father, this woman...she...she is just a country girl, how can she be worthy of my cousin!"
Hearing this, Tang Qiyue's heart trembled violently, but her hand was held tightly by a big hand, giving her enough sense of security, and the hesitation in her heart gradually disappeared.
"Whether they are a good match or not is not up to you to decide. Mingzhu, if you don't control your temper, I will punish you by keeping you in solitary confinement!"
Xie Mingzhu immediately shut her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on Tang Qiyue, with anger, disdain and irritability in them.
She didn't want to admit that she had a good impression of Tang Qiyue, but in her heart, Cousin Jin was a person that no one could match, not even her, let alone this country girl in front of her.
She would not allow any woman to desecrate her cousin Jin.
She has been following her brother the Crown Prince and her cousin Jin since she was a child, and her two brothers have always protected her. But suddenly her brother Jin wants to protect other women. How can she accept this!
Emperor Yongqing did not tell Xie Mingzhu about the matter between Tang Qiyue and Xie Changjin, but before Tang Qiyue left, he specifically said, "If you have nothing to do in the future, let Ajin take you to the palace more often to see the crabs I raise."
"Your Majesty, I obey your command."
Xie Changjin was left behind to play chess with Emperor Yongqing. Marquis Wu'an was going to the military camp outside the city to train soldiers, but he was worried that Tang Qiyue would be bullied by Xie Mingzhu, so he reminded her, "Qiyue girl, if Mingzhu bullies you, don't be afraid, just bully her back. I and Jin are here, okay?"
Tang Qiyue nodded helplessly. Why did she feel that Marquis Wu'an seemed to want to see her and Xie Mingzhu fight? "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, Qiyue knows."
"Okay, okay, I still have to go train my troops, so I'll leave first!"
It was still Eunuch Fu'an who sent Tang Qiyue off, and he wanted to send her safely to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion's carriage at the palace gate.
Xie Mingzhu did not leave either, but followed her carelessly, with a proud look on her face, and snorted, "This princess also wants to go to Wu'an Marquis's Mansion."
Tang Qiyue rubbed her brows, "Princess, please!"
Eunuch Fu'an was stunned. Why did this Miss Tang invite the Fourth Princess to ride in the carriage of Marquis Wu'an's mansion? Did she want to fight in the carriage later?
It's over, it's over!
He was so anxious that he was sweating all over and didn't know what to do.
"Hmph! You still have some tact! Since you invited me, I won't be polite!" Xie Mingzhu got on the carriage with a heroic and high-spirited manner, and Chunzhi quickly came to the carriage window and followed.
Tang Qiyue resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She originally thought that the fourth princess was very difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect that she was just a child. She was so rude to her just now, but suddenly became gentle, which really made her a little confused.
Eunuch Fu'an watched the two people get into the carriage, which slowly drove away from the palace gate. He sighed helplessly and hurried back to report.
In the comfortable carriage, Tang Qiyue leaned against the window and closed her eyes to rest. Although her eyes were closed, she could clearly feel a pair of eyes looking at her up and down, left and right, over and over again.
That gaze was so scorching and probing that Tang Qiyue couldn't even take a rest in peace. She could only open her eyes helplessly, and met Xie Mingzhu's big eyes.
Xie Mingzhu wanted to get closer to see what charm Tang Qiyue had that attracted her cousin who didn't like women. She was caught just as she approached. She was so scared that she almost bumped her head against the wall of the carriage. When she came to her senses, she said fiercely, "Why did you open your eyes suddenly? What do you mean? Do you know that you scared this princess?"
Tang Qiyue took a deep breath, resisted the urge to curse, and replied with a fake smile, "Your Highness the Fourth Princess, it was you who approached me first, not me who scared you."
There is one more thing I haven’t said: you scared me, okay?
"When did I get close to you? Don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, I will have someone pull out your tongue!" Xie Mingzhu glared at Tang Qiyue and said scary words, but the expression on her face showed a guilty conscience.
Tang Qiyue was not frightened at all. She rested her chin on her hand and looked at Xie Mingzhu leisurely without saying a word.
"Why are you looking at me? Speak!"
"Didn't Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess say that she would pull out my tongue? In order to prevent my tongue from being pulled out, I dare not speak!" Tang Qiyue blinked, looking very aggrieved.
"You! You are simply making up stories!" Xie Mingzhu's eyes widened. No one had ever dared to be so unreasonable in front of her. This wild girl must be relying on her cousin Jin's power to dare to do this!
"I'm not making excuses! I'm telling the truth." Tang Qiyue shrugged helplessly. This look made Xie Mingzhu so angry that her chest heaved.
After saying this, Tang Qiyue felt a little regretful. What if she really angered the princess and she wanted to chop off her head in rage?
"Hmph! So this is how you seduced my cousin Jin!" Xie Mingzhu glared at Tang Qiyue with red eyes, as if she had discovered a big secret.
Tang Qiyue was stunned. What does that mean?
"My cousin Jin never gets close to women. All the women who get close to him are noble ladies who are well-educated, well-mannered and intelligent. They are not like you who are ignorant and not quiet!"
Haha! Tang Qiyue sneered. If the person in front of her was not a princess, she would have slapped her.
Is this the first person who says that she has no manners and is arrogant?
"What! Why are you looking at me? Are all the things I said false? Cousin Jin must be just interested in you temporarily! I advise you to leave Cousin Jin on your own initiative! Otherwise, you will end up being laughed at by everyone!"
Tang Qiyue remained silent, listening to Xie Mingzhu chattering until the other party suddenly stopped talking. Then she said faintly, "Then your highness the princess is worrying about the wrong thing. Your cousin Jin can't live without me!"
"He said I'm the one he loves and the only one in his life!"
"You, you, you—" Xie Mingzhu was furious, pointing at Tang Qiyue and scolding, "You are shameless, you have no shame, how dare you make up stories about your cousin like this!"
"If you don't believe me, Your Highness can ask Madam later. Madam knows about it too." After saying that, Tang Qiyue folded her arms across her chest, closed her eyes, and looked like she didn't want to pay any more attention to her. Xie Mingzhu was so angry that she wanted to reach out and scratch her face.
It must be fake, it must be!
How could a man like Cousin Jin say such a thing? This woman must have deceived her!
The carriage stopped at the gate of Wu'an Marquis's mansion. Xie Mingzhu suddenly opened the curtain and rushed into the mansion angrily.
Tang Qiyue followed behind, looking as if it had nothing to do with her, leaving the housekeeper at a loss.
Why did the fourth princess come to the mansion? It seemed that something unpleasant had happened between her and Miss Tang.
When she came to the main hall, Tang Qiyue saw from afar Xie Mingzhu, who was standing there stiffly, motionless, and curled her lips.
"Whose kid is this?"
