The sun is warm and the wind is breezy.

In the Ouxiang Courtyard, Qian Lingshuang wandered around the yard with one hand on her waist and her big belly, while Juanzi held an umbrella for her to protect her from the sun.

"Don't open an umbrella, the sun isn't poisonous at this time, and it's good to bask in the sun." Qian Lingshuang said.

Juanzi stretched out her hand to try it out, and then put away the umbrella with confidence.

"Really? It's terrible..."

A voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall, and Qian Lingshuang and Juanzi stopped involuntarily.

"Of course it's true! It has spread throughout the capital. Princess Qian Ning's face was injured, and she beat and scolded servants in the mansion all day long, and even scratched a dancer's face with a knife!"

"what happened?"

"Princess Qian Ning disliked that dancer's name, and wanted to change her name, but she disagreed, saying that her name was given by her deceased mother. As a result, Princess Qian Ning scratched her face, cut off her tongue, and dug her. Lost both eyes."

"My God! After all, she is a princess of a country, but she is so cruel! The dancer is also a human being, so she has no mercy at all."

"Not only that, Princess Qian Ning also changed the name of a dancer! Guess whose name was changed?"

"Who?"

"The name of the regent princess. This dancer is now being raised as a dog by Princess Qian Ning, tied with an iron chain, and beaten severely at every turn."

"It's simply appalling..."

Outside the courtyard wall, two little girls were chatting.

Hearing these words, Qian Lingshuang's breathing gradually became short of breath.

"Juanzi, call them in."

"Miss……"

Juanzi was a little hesitant. Now that the lady is pregnant, the imperial doctor told her not to get angry.

"Go!"

"Yes……"

Qian Lingshuang walked to the door, and the two little girls hurried away when they saw it.

"Stop, the two of you come over and help trim the flower branches."

"Yes."

The two little girls lowered their heads with some guilt, followed Juanzi into the Ouxiangyuan, and came to the imperial concubine.

"Please explain clearly, what happened to Hengqianyuan? How did you know?" Qian Lingshuang asked.

"This……"

The two little girls looked at each other. Sure enough, the conversation between the two of them just now was overheard by the Crown Princess!

"Hurry up and say it! If you don't say anything else, I will immediately send someone to report to Shizi, and drive you two gossips out!" Juanzi said.

When she said that, the two little girls didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Prince Princess, please spare me!"

"We don't dare any more."

Qian Lingshuang took a deep breath and asked, "What happened? Tell me in detail. If you don't tell me, don't blame this princess for being rude to you."

"As for the concubine Hui Shizi, the slaves also heard from the mothers who bought them that Princess Qian Ning cut the face of a dancer in Hengqian Courtyard, cut off her tongue, and gouged out her eyes. " said a skinny little girl.

"It's really just because this dancer doesn't want to change her name?" Juanzi couldn't believe it.

"Your servant heard what mothers said..." the little girl said again.

"Where is the princess regent? What's going on?" Qian Lingshuang asked.

"Concubine Hui, the mothers said that Princess Qianning changed the name of a dancer to... the name of Princess Regent, and kept her by her side like a dog, often beating and scolding her." The little girl replied.

Qian Lingshuang frowned, and her breathing became more and more rapid.

"Okay, both of you go. Remember, no matter who asks, just say help pruning flowers and branches in Ouxiangyuan, understand?" Juanzi said.

"Understood, the servant will leave."

After the two little girls left, Juanzi looked at Qian Lingshuang worriedly, and said, "Miss, let's go back to the room to rest first, we've been away for a long time today."

"Ah."

Back in the Nuan Pavilion of Ouxiangyuan, Qian Lingshuang sat quietly on the couch.

Juanzi sent everyone else out and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

"It's nothing." Qian Lingshuang said, holding up the water glass.

Juanzi sighed, "Princess Qianning is so arrogant! I have never heard of such a princess! How could she be so cruel when she grew up in rich clothes and fine food?"

Qian Lingshuang suddenly smiled, "I never thought that she would be so unscrupulous."

Juanzi panicked immediately, and asked, "Miss, why are you still laughing?"

"What happened in Hengqian Courtyard, why do you think it spread to Prince Heng's Mansion?" Qian Lingshuang put down the water glass, picked up a fruit and put it in his mouth.

"This...of course someone did it on purpose," Juanzi said.

"That's right. But the prince certainly doesn't want everyone in the capital to know what happened in Hengqianyuan, otherwise they will be criticized by the government and the public. Now that the news has spread to Prince Heng's mansion, it proves that the people in the capital are almost dead. I know." Qian Lingshuang said.

Juanzi scratched her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, that's right, the Shizi definitely doesn't want the people in Prince Heng's Mansion to know about this, so the people in Prince Heng's Mansion should be the last to know."

"Shen Qinglan and the Prince Regent must be responsible for this matter. Now, His Highness the Fifth Highness is about to ascend the throne, and the Prince Regent personally recommended it. No matter whether the two have a deal or not, it can prove that the Prince Regent is on His Highness the Fifth Highness's side. Therefore, His Highness the Fifth Prince should also be regarded as Zhao Yi's enemy." Qian Lingshuang analyzed.

"Well, Miss is right."

"Princess Qianning is the princess of the Xiao Kingdom, and she can also be regarded as an envoy of the Xiao Kingdom. Now, she lives in Hengqianyuan and acts recklessly in the capital. The people and officials will definitely condemn this matter. Zhao Yi wants to use Xiao Qian Ning, come to deal with His Highness the Fifth Prince and the Regent. At this time, he has probably already lined up with the Empress Dowager. When these things spread to the capital, the matter of Xiao Qianning marrying Zhao Yi will be eased a lot." Qian Ling Shuang said again.

"From this point of view, these people are your backing, miss, and our Qian family's backing." Juanzi laughed.

"Yes."

After Qian Lingshuang finished speaking, Zhao Yi suddenly entered the door.

"What backing?"

Qian Lingshuang was startled, but he didn't show it. He got up and said, "Why is Shizi here at this time?"

"I'm taking a rest today, so I'm here to see you." After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he stepped forward to help her sit down on the couch.

"Shouldn't my son be with Princess Qian Ning at this time? I heard that Princess Qian Ning has done a lot of great things in the Hengqian Courtyard recently, which is unbearable to hear, but my son still blindly shields her. Now the capital is already crowded. Everyone knows that the son of the world is not afraid of damage to his reputation." Qian Lingshuang said.

Zhao Yi sighed softly, "You know all about it."

"Since everyone knows it, it's not surprising that the concubine knows about it. Now my Qian family has become a joke in the whole capital, and I, the princess concubine, is also in name only and is ridiculed by others. Master, it's better for you and me to reconcile. In this way, we can also save the face of our two families." Qian Lingshuang said.

"Ah Shuang, I have already said that I will never marry Xiao Qianning." Zhao Yi felt helpless.
