The Empress Dowager didn't know how many times she looked back when she arrived at Wuyang Palace, but the two people behind her actually said that they were not aware of her peeking all the way.
The distance was so far that there was no way to eavesdrop, but the Queen Mother looked at her son whose face was no longer solemn and she was so happy that she walked much more lightly.
As soon as she arrived at Wuyang Hall, Ye Qingcheng was stared at by several vicious eyes. She raised her head and looked over. She saw several women wearing heavy makeup and gorgeous dresses. When she saw her looking over, they glared at them without hesitation.
She knew that those few were the daughters who were close friends with He Lian'er.
There is Su Man, the legitimate daughter of the Zhongyong Marquis, and the second lady of the Yongchang Marquis, He Lian'er's biological sister, He Min'er.
Ye Qingcheng, whose family belonged to the other two, couldn't recognize them either. This was because he was searching the memory of the original owner and barely recognized them, also because these two people appeared in front of the original owner more times.
Just when she looked away, a whirring sound sounded in her ears.
"Qingcheng, why did you come here? This princess has been waiting for you here for a long time!"
She could tell who this person was by hearing the voice.
Among the few close friends of the original owner, this person occupies the top spot.
She is the seventh princess from Concubine Xian, Princess Xiyue. She is very similar to her mother and concubine. She has a cheerful and lively personality, without any airs of a princess. She plays best with the original owner.
"My daughter has met Princess Xiyue!" Ye Qingcheng bowed to Princess Xiyue without breaking the rules of etiquette.
"Oh, okay, okay! What else are you going to do to me? The day before yesterday, I heard from Brother Four Emperors that you were coming back, so I have been waiting in the palace. My mother-in-law didn't let me go out of the palace to find you, but I was very anxious!
"Princess Xiyue stepped forward and took Ye Qingcheng's arm. The two of them looked very close.
The four people on the other side looked at each other and turned their heads. Although they were afraid of Princess Xiyue's identity, they could not stop hating Ye Qingcheng.
She always occupies the position next to His Highness the King of War like a clown. In the past, she was granted a marriage by the late emperor, but now His Highness the King of War has broken off the engagement, and her ghost is still there.
"We haven't seen each other for more than three years, and Princess Xiyue has grown taller than me!" Ye Qingcheng tried her best to behave like the original owner, but she herself was not a gentle person, so saying this made her feel a little bad.
Jun Mochen next to him also raised his eyebrows, where was this girl singing?
Because he had never paid attention to her before, he had no idea what the original owner's personality was like, so it was normal for him to raise his eyebrows.
Princess Xiyue was different. More than three years had passed since she met her, and she was still so gentle and soft-spoken. She took her hand and ran away, "Qingcheng, this princess will take you to see the grand scene of Wuyang Palace today!"
"
"Hey...Princess Xiyue, run slower..." Ye Qingcheng shouted in a low voice, but she followed her with uncontrollable strides.
Princess Xiyue suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked over with some trembling steps.
"Xiyue wishes Uncle Zhan Wang!"
This girl was not as carefree as before. She bowed and said hello in a proper manner, and she didn't look as careless as she was just now.
When she pulled Ye Qingcheng and turned around to run, she saw Uncle Zhan standing next to him. She was so excited to see her good friend just now that she didn't pay attention to the people around her.
"Very good!" Jun Mochen neither let Princess Xiyue stand nor blamed her, he just said "very good".
This confused everyone who knew him. What kind of operation was this? He had never seen it before.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Zhan Wang... Xiyue... Xiyue didn't notice you just now!" Princess Xiyue was so frightened that she almost cried.
This Uncle Wang Zhan was never like other Uncle Wangs. He would not joke with her or play around. He would always have a straight face and be very serious.
"Get back on your feet." Jun Mochen said silently.
Xiyue was even more scared. It was usually calm before the storm came.
"Thank...Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Princess Xiyue lowered her head.
"Miss Ye is still waiting for you! Go quickly!" For the first time, Jun Mochen did not speak to lecture anyone, but he kindly reminded her.
Princess Xiyue looked up at him in disbelief, then took two steps...three steps back.
It wasn't until he returned to Ye Qingcheng and saw that he was already at a safe distance that he exhaled and patted his chest.
"What a risk, what a risk!"
Ye Qingcheng was puzzled. Although Jun Mochen's expression was a bit serious sometimes, he wasn't so exaggerated, right? It scared the kid.
"Is it so scary? Is it exaggerated?" she couldn't help but ask.
Xiyue turned around and looked at Ye Qingcheng like a fool for a while, "That's right, you don't know Uncle Zhan Wang, so you are not afraid! I tell you! Uncle Zhan Wang is more terrifying than his father. He has never been like Uncle Li or King Jing.
He joked and played with us like my uncle, and whenever we met, he always lectured us in the tone of elders... Obviously he is not much older than us..."
Xiyue didn't dare to stay here for too long, so she pulled Ye Qingcheng towards Wuyang Palace, telling her why she was so afraid of Jun Mochen as she walked.
Ye Qingcheng couldn't believe what she heard. It was obvious that the Jun Mochen she knew was not so cold-blooded and serious.
"Hey...isn't this sister Xiyue? Why don't you show respect to your sister when you see her?"
The two people were talking interestingly when a strange voice sounded in front of them.
"Your Majesty, please send your regards to Princess Chenyang!" Ye Qingcheng was a minister and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the princesses, so she could only say her regards first.
Princess Chenyang and Princess Xiyue were born in the same year, and they were both children of the fourth concubine.
But Xiyue was born from Concubine Xian, the first of the four concubines, while Chenyang was born from Concubine De.
If the mother and concubine of the two people do not deal with each other, the two daughters will not deal with them either. They target each other everywhere and it is common to dig holes and frame them up.
Now that these enemies have met again, it's really a headache.
Ye Qingcheng just wanted to attend the palace banquet quietly and go back quietly.
But things always backfire,
"Why is sister alone today? Why don't your little sisters fawn over sister?" Xiyue didn't salute her at all, and even pulled Ye Qingcheng up. "Ah! I understand, He Lian'er is suffering again today.
I’m so hurt! Those sisters who usually fawn over you have all gathered together to apologize for He Lian’er! They have long forgotten about you as a princess!”
"You..." Princess Chenyang gritted her teeth angrily when she was touched upon something that hurt her. "Who asked you to stay flat? I haven't spoken yet!"
He actually spread the flames on Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng looked up at her, but Princess Xiyue immediately pulled her behind her: "Chenyang! This princess tells you! Don't be like a mad dog and bite someone! Qingcheng is my friend! Be polite to her!"
"Oh? So she is the poor Ye Qingcheng who was divorced by Uncle Zhan Wang?" Chen Yang's attention was immediately drawn to Ye Qingcheng.
"It's my daughter!" Ye Qingcheng responded without hesitation.
In her opinion, being divorced was nothing.
It's not that she's so ugly that she can't be seen, it's just that she likes someone else, so she just breaks off the engagement. Who can blame her?
Just let everyone go his own way and be happy!
Moreover, although Jun Mochen broke off the engagement with her, he is now her supporter. Isn't that enough?
She only married to find a backer. Now that she can have such an awesome backer without marrying, she has nothing to feel inferior about.
