That person was a little shorter than Wei Changjuan. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and beautiful features. And she wore a colorful dress and a simple hairpin ring. She was Princess Anji.
Wei Changying was surprised: Princess Anji was a headache for the royal women in the capital, and everyone decided to keep a respectful distance from her. She had only met her three times including this time. Why did Princess Anji help Wei Changying solve the dilemma of Princess Qingxin today and follow her to fight against Wei Changjuan?
She mused, bowed to her, and did not ask the reason. She greeted, "I..."
Princess Anji obviously did not have the patience to go around in circles. She waved her hand to stop her words, glancing at the person who had been kicked to the ground by her. After seeing who kicked her, Wei Changjuan immediately covered her skirt and was so scared that she did not dare to even get up. Princess Anji said bluntly, "Today, you were embarrassed by Qingxin because of this complaint from Wei Changjuan. If this kind of person can talk bad about you to others once, she can do so a second time. Are you sure you want to let her go like this?"
Wei Changying was not sure what Princess Anji meant, but it sounded that the princess had heard their conversation for a while. Perhaps she had listened from the beginning to the end. And Princess Anji kicked Wei Changjuan before she came out, so she obviously didn't have a good impression of Wei Changjuan. Wei Changying then said, "Today is the wedding of Infanta Chengxian. I think what happened before already caused lots of trouble for King Run's mansion, so it would be better to stop now."
"That's true." Princess Anji nodded and said, "Even people like me who don't care about life and death still need to care about the timing. It is true that there are not many brainless women like your cousin who I have seen in the palace. No wonder that Qingxin has a good relationship with her. After all, people are divided into groups according to their alikeness."
Wei Changying felt that these words really fitted her thoughts. But she was not familiar with Princess Anji, she only said, "Her Royal Highness is wise."
Princess Anji paced to Wei Changjuan again. This princess became famous for being fierce for a long time, but her deterrence was greater than that of the Wei Changying who had just shown her martial arts. When Wei Changjuan saw her coming, she almost rolled away without caring about her manners. But Princess Anji had already been on guard and stepped on the corner of her skirt so that she could not even slip away. She said, "What about you? You're so stupid. Didn't your Sister Liu and Sister Min, who are so sensible, tell you about this?"
Wei Changjuan neither dared to answer nor not to answer. She first began to cry, but Princess Anji did not have the patience to entangle with her. She faintly reminded, "My leisure is limited, are you sure you want to continue to waste my time?"
However, with this threat which was not yet clear on the specific threat, Wei Changjuan was so scared that she sobbed and said, "Sister Min asked me to apologize to the third elder sister and not to fight with the third elder sister anymore. I was not convinced, so I went to ask Sister Liu. Sister Liu said what Sister Min had said was reasonable."
Wei Changying was a little surprised: Liu Ruoye and Wei Changjuan seemed to have a good relationship, but she was tricking Wei Changjuan and indirectly helping Wei Changying in fact. Last time after finishing Su Yuli's wedding, Mrs. Huang also speculated this because of her understanding of Wei Changjuan. How about Min Yinuo? Wei Changying couldn't figure out what kind of interactions she had with this Miss of the Min Family even though she had thought about it over and over again.
Not only was there no friendship, but in fact, there was still a bit of resentment between them. Didn't Shen Cangfeng's assistant Nian Shengyao write a poem that was rude to Min Yinuo?
She was thinking here, but Princess Anji there sneered, "I'll give you one last chance. If you still don't tell the truth..."
Wei Changjuan was appalled and hurriedly shouted, "What I said is all true!"
"You are stupid, but you are smart about one thing: You know how to listen to people who are smarter than you." Princess Anji sneered and said, "Since Min Yinuo and Liu Ruoye have both persuaded you not to make trouble for Wei Changying, why do you continue to complain to Qingxin? Wei Changying doesn't know you that much, but how can you hide it from me?"
Princess Anji had not been favored by His Majesty for many years, and her biological mother, Madam Zhenyi, had not been favored by His Majesty for many years. Although she was from the royal family, her real status was not high. Because she was fierce, the imperial madams did not like to associate with her. Just like what happened in the living hall, most of the women gathered around Princess Linchuan, but no one dared to talk to Princess Anji.
Everyone thought that Princess Anji could not be too familiar with the imperial madams, but Princess Anji unexpectedly knew a lot about Wei Changjuan. Wei Changying looked at them in surprise and reminded, "Her Royal Highness, the last time when my cousin Su got married, Changjuan sat with Liu Ruoye."
"It seems that Liu Ruoye asked you to do this?" Princess Anji frowned and seemed a little unhappy. It was not sure whether she was unhappy about Liu Ruoye or the matter. She meditated for a while, stretched out her foot to kick Wei Changjuan, and yelled, "Why don't you hurry up and tell me everything?"
Wei Changjuan looked for help from her cousin. At this time, she was counting on Wei Changying to be kind enough to say a word for her. However, Wei Changying simply ignored her intention of asking for help. Wei Changjuan was desperate and had to say, "Sister Liu and Sister Min both asked me to yield to my cousin, but I was unwilling to do so. So I pestered them to ask for a way to deal with my cousins. Sister Min refused to say anything, and Sister Liu could not stand my entanglement, so she advised me that Her Royal Highness wouldn't care of the matter. She told me that Princess Qingxin might care about this because Her Royal Highness was young. But she still advised me not to do so. So I..."
Wei Changying and Princess Anji were a little speechless. Even if Liu Ruoye had bad intentions, her words would only work for the ones who were willing to take the bait. Yet, Wei Changjuan still could not see through it. Was it true that this girl really had no brain?
Princess Anji thought for a moment and said, "Your unwillingness is actually not that you could not reconcile to it. It was your Sister Liu who provoked you, wasn’t it? What a fool! You are just like Qingxin, being led around by others. But you don't know about it. The only reason why you could still lead Qingxin around was that you are several years older than Qingxin. But don't forget that Qingxin has a mother who is the Empress. You've done so much harm to her today, so you can just wait for her mother to reckon with you!"
Wei Changjuan wanted to say that it was Princess Anji who hurt Princess Qingxin. But in front of Princess Anji, she did not dare to say it even if someone lent her some courage. She could only say, "I... I know that I was wrong."
Princess Anji said, "In fact, I don't care if you know you were wrong or not. Anyway, no matter whether you know it or not, I still want you to be punished."
"The third sister, help me!" As soon as Wei Changjuan heard this, she was so anxious that she shouted to Wei Changying regardless of whether she was disgraced or not.
Wei Changying said with a smile, "Her Royal Highness hasn't done anything to you yet. Don't you think it's too early for you to call for help?"
Princess Anji glanced at her when she heard this and nodded with satisfaction, "This makes you look like Shen Cangfeng's wife. You are not disgusting like ordinary ladies who pretend to be virtuous."
After hearing this, Wei Changying thought, "Was it because of my husband that Her Royal Highness helped me? But my husband had never mentioned Princess Anji before!"
When Wei Changying was thinking about it, Princess Anji seemed to have lost interest in continuing to embarrass Wei Changjuan. She loosened her feet and said, "Go clean up and return the table first! Don't forget that today is a good day for my cousin Chengxian. If you continue to create trouble when you get back, I'll strip you off and throw you out on the street today!"
Wei Changjuan was so frightened that she crawled away and said, "I dare not! I dare not! I would say that I fell inadvertently, and it had nothing to do with anyone else!"
When she was far away, Wei Changying took back her eyesight and looked at Princess Anji, who looked cunning... The two looked at each other for a moment and suddenly smiled at the same time. Princess Anji also stopped holding the attitude of a princess and said, "I think you have understood that I came here to find you."
Wei Changying nodded, smiled, and said, "In fact, I was already very curious just now. Although I could not say that I had never met Her Royal Highness, I had no friendship with Her Royal Highness. How could Her Royal Highness do it in order to help me and even beat Princess Qingxin? Does it have something to do with my husband?"
"Shen Cangfeng? I met him twice at the place of my father." Princess Anji said faintly, "The people of the imperial court are all reasonable, and they do not disrespect me because I and my mother fell out of favor of my father. But with such a little interaction, it's far from getting me to help you."
Princess Anji directly admitted that she was not a self-sacrificing person, and it was not surprising to Wei Changying. But she was even more surprised about the reason for her help, "Then just now, Her Royal Highness...?"
"Qingxin found the beat from me herself!" Princess Anji stretched out her fingers and touched her hair which was blown by the wing. She said faintly, "She insulted my mother in front of me. If I didn't beat her, who would beat her? I originally only wanted to give you a word to help you out."
Wei Changying thought that her words of rescuing were a little too strong, which she said that Princess Qingxin was humiliating directly. In terms of the degree to which Princess Qingxin was spoiled, Su Nianchu, who was also the lineal granddaughter of His Majesty, suggested to Princess Qingxin to learn painting. The princess herself was impatient. After two days of study, she could not see the effect and went to His Majesty to make trouble. Instead of teaching her to persevere, His Majesty blamed his son-in-law for not taking care of his daughter and for making random advice to the princess that upset the princess.
Under this case, how could Princess Qingxin, who was so spoiled and indulged, tolerate the unspoiled sister saying in public that she was "humiliating"? Thus, she had a fight with Princess Anji right away.
She asked, "So why did Her Royal Highness rescue me?"
Yet, Princess Anji said, "Yes, I want to know, too. Why?"
Wei Changying was stunned and she heard Princess Anji said slowly, "But Linchuan is good at pretending to be a talented princess. Since childhood, she spent a lot of painstaking efforts to win over the imperial madam and ladies. She is always well-informed and will never do anything at a loss. So when I saw that she would speak for you on the way, I immediately thought, what good would it do to help you?"
Seeing the surprise on Wei Changying's face, Princess Anji was also a little surprised and said, "Is there no good? Did Linchuan deliberately trick me? From where I stand, my sister, who looks intelligent, actually seems to be an embroidered pillow. She would not act so unreasonably! Or has she recently listened to someone's brilliant idea and dared to deceive me like this?" She frowned, clenched her fists, and looked as if she wanted to go back and beat up Princess Linchuan...
