Chapter 175 Is this your upbringing?
"Madam Qiu, I asked you to find someone, but you haven't found one in such a long time! Can you afford to delay Aunt's treatment?"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the garden.
When the noble ladies in the garden saw her, they quickly knelt down and saluted, saying, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
Princess Yunxi walked lightly past these noble ladies and came to Mu Qingyan.
Aunt Qiu seemed to have found a backer, and hurriedly said, "Princess, please forgive me. I am useless and cannot invite Miss Mu..."
Mu Qingyan bent her knees slightly and saluted, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
How could Yunxi let her go so easily? She didn't ask him to stand up, but just raised her chin and said with a sidelong glance, "Ms. Mu is so arrogant? She can't even ask my aunt to come?"
Mu Qingyan lowered her head and said, "Princess, please forgive me. After I was poisoned, the remaining poison has been difficult to eliminate. Moreover, because of the poisoning, my limbs are often used. I am afraid that I will misdiagnose the pulse and prescribe the wrong medicine..."
Yunxi snorted coldly, "You can treat Brother Ling's illness and any serious injury, and you can even cure deadly poisons. Why are you so unwilling to take my pulse when I ask you to? Can it be that you can treat Brother Ling's illness and injury without taking his pulse and just undressing him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the noble ladies present changed.
If nothing else, how could a princess speak like that? What does it mean to just undress? Doesn't the implication mean that this Miss Mu sacrificed herself to save Prince Ling?
Although there have been rumors circulating in Kyoto these days that Mu Qingyan has been living in Prince Ling's Mansion, hasn't His Majesty already issued an imperial decree to certify her status?
Did she stay in the palace without moving even though she was poisoned and her face was disfigured in order to save Prince Ling?
Yunxi thought that he would see shame, anger and embarrassment on Mu Qingyan's face, but he didn't expect that she could still laugh after hearing what he said.
"Your Highness the Princess even knows this? It seems that you have undressed quite a lot in order to save people..."
"How dare you humiliate me like this!"
Everyone present:...
Mu Qingyan ignored the fact that Princess Yunxi didn't let her stand up. She stood up straight after she finished speaking. Her eyes, which were originally smiling, flashed a cold light. "Your Highness, Princess, people must humiliate themselves first before being humiliated by others. You humiliated me with words first, and I just used your words to return them to you. Can't you bear it?"
Yunxi was so angry that she was confused!
In an occasion like today, she did not know how to restrain herself. "You bitch! You only relied on your beauty to seduce Prince Ling! When he knows your true face, do you think he will still take you seriously? You are just a person with unknown origins-"
"Yunxi! You are becoming more and more outrageous!"
Before Yunxi finished speaking, a cold voice came from the front yard.
Yunxi's heart trembled, and she looked up. Prince Ling, dressed in crimson purple and with his hair tied up with a jade crown, was walking slowly towards her.
Half a step behind him is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Everyone knelt down again and saluted, saying, "Greetings to Prince Ling, greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Prince Ling walked to Mu Qingyan's side and stood still. He looked at her deeply before saying, "Stand up..."
The crowd stood up sparsely and stood aside, not daring to make a sound.
I silently lit a candle for Princess Yunxi in my heart.
Yunxi looked reluctant and bowed slightly, "Brother Prince Ling..."
Prince Ling did not ask her to stand up. He just stared at her condescendingly for a long time.
She was sweating profusely from watching it.
"Is this how the Queen Mother taught you? As a princess, you should be a role model for all women in the world, but what about you? You ignore the facts, make assumptions, and insult people's reputations at will. Is this how you are brought up as a princess?"
Yunxi didn't dare to refute a word.
Although His Majesty and Prince Ling are both her brothers, she couldn't help but feel intimidated in front of these two people.
Perhaps it was because the Queen Mother was not on good terms with them, she always felt inferior in front of these two people.
They were both born of the same father, so when she met these two people, she would always greet them respectfully! They could disregard her dignity as a princess and punish and scold her at will!
Of course, she blamed all of this on Mu Qingyan!
She has been blamed repeatedly since she showed up!
"Brother Prince Ling, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again..."
Mu Qingyan knew that she was just bowing to the situation, and as long as she got the chance, she would still come to cause trouble.
At this time, Princess Ning Sheng hurried over, "Ning Sheng greets the Emperor's uncle..."
Princess Ning Sheng is timid, but she is not afraid of Prince Ling.
Because she knew that Prince Ling only looked serious, but he was a good man and would not harm anyone.
"Get up..."
Ning Sheng stood up straight and lowered his head, saying, "Uncle, my aunt has taken the medicine and is now awake, but she is very weak... My aunt was only worried about my aunt's safety, so she offended my aunt with her words. Please don't pursue the matter for the sake of my aunt's birthday banquet today..."
Prince Ling put his hands behind his back and said, "Ning Sheng, take your aunt to the table. I will take care of the rest."
"Yes……"
Princess Ning Sheng stepped forward, grabbed Mu Qingyan's sleeve, and whispered, "Aunt Royal, please follow me..."
Mu Qingyan turned her head to look at Prince Ling, and only when she saw him nod did she feel at ease to leave with Princess Ning Sheng.
Princess Ning Sheng took her to the banquet hall.
When they passed an uninhabited rockery, Princess Ning Sheng suddenly stopped, tightly grasped her hand, and said nervously, "My dear, don't come into contact with my aunt today. She wants to frame you and take your life..."
Mu Qingyan held her hand and signaled her not to be nervous.
"She is not the only one who wants to take my life. Don't worry, I won't die that easily. But you, why did you leave the palace today?"
Ning Sheng said helplessly, "It was the imperial aunt who insisted on dragging me out. She said that if I didn't go, it would mean that I didn't take her and my aunt seriously. She asked me to think carefully about my mother and the child in her belly..."
Mu Qingyan sighed. This mother and daughter were really pitiful. They were always threatened and she was powerless to do anything. His Majesty could only take care of them to a limited extent.
After all, in the deep palace, it is very easy for a powerful person to kill an unknown person.
Lady Fang is not a scheming person, and Princess Ning Sheng is somewhat cowardly by nature.
She may be smart, but this intelligence is useless in the face of absolute power.
She could only advise, "Princess, if you want to live uprightly in front of others, you must show courage and not always be led by others. In terms of status, you are also a princess of a country. If you want to live comfortably and get rid of the constraints of others, you must stand up for yourself."
