Suddenly, a woman's cold and stern voice came from behind. Mu Yun'an turned around and saw the eldest princess, Yan Guifei and Yuan Jiahe walking over with the palace maids and eunuchs.
And it was the eldest princess who spoke.
Mu Yun'an knelt down and saluted: "I have met Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
"Ha~ I can't afford the gift of a county master."
The eldest princess sneered, her eyes swept over Mu Yunan, then looked at Shen Wanyue who was standing aside and asked: "Are you the newly named Princess Kangle by the emperor?"
Shen Wanyue bowed and said in a submissive voice: "Kang Le, please give my regards to my aunt."
The eldest princess nodded and said in a cold voice: "How unbecoming is it for a majestic princess to be trampled under someone else's feet? No matter how bad you are, you are still the princess whom His Majesty has proclaimed. Don't lose His Majesty's face."
Shen Wanyue lowered her head and responded: "Kang Le would like to follow my aunt's teachings."
"very good."
The eldest princess raised her head and said: "Huihe County Master is disrespectful to Princess Kangle. Come on, give me a slap to make her remember the difference between dignity and inferiority."
Concubine Yan was startled when she heard this and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute."
She smiled and said to the eldest princess: "I have never seen the county master being disrespectful to Kang Le. On the contrary, Kang Le relied on his status to want to teach the county master a lesson.
In this matter today, I think the county master is not wrong at all. If the eldest princess wants to stand up for Kang Le, I have nothing to say, but I still have to weigh the consequences.
Your Majesty is holding a banquet in Qionglin today. The new champion and the second in the ranking are both from the General's Palace. If the eldest princess beats the county chief, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty to explain to you."
After saying that, she leaned into the ear of the eldest princess and said: "Offending Your Majesty for the sake of an unfavored pleasure? Don't lose more than you gain."
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and thought carefully about Concubine Yan's words. It was not unreasonable. Originally, she had disappointed His Majesty because of Yan Jingxuan's matter. Later, the deposed prince failed to assassinate Yan Jingxuan. Although she was not implicated, His Majesty's Her attitude is obviously not as good as before.
At this time, it was better for her to stay calm.
"That's all."
The eldest princess walked down the steps given by Concubine Yan and said to Mu Yun'an: "County chief, please remember your identity. No matter how powerful your father and brother are, Kang Le is still a princess of the royal family. You are not someone you can humiliate at will. If there is anything wrong with you, I will never be lenient."
She snorted, rolled her sleeves, turned around, and said to Shen Wanyue: "You can go with me."
Shen Wanyue burst into tears with gratitude and hurriedly followed the eldest princess. Before leaving, she gave Mu Yun'an a somewhat proud look, which was full of provocation.
Mu Yun'an turned a blind eye and ignored it.
When Yuan Jiahe saw the eldest princess walking away, he breathed a sigh of relief, ran over and took Mu Yun'an's hand and asked, "Are you okay? I was really scared to death just now."
Mu Yun'an shook his head and bowed to Concubine Yan: "I would like to thank you for speaking for me."
Concubine Yan said: "Why are you so polite to me? But what is going on between you and Princess Kangle?"
When she and the eldest princess came over just now, they heard Mu Yun'an's disrespectful words towards Kang Le, which made the eldest princess want to stand up for Kang Le.
Mu Yun'an said: "It's nothing, it's just a plot by Shen Wanyue. She expected that the eldest princess would come at this time, so she waited here specially. I was careless today."
