Mu Qianxue calmly replied, "Qianxue is just a passerby here. The wangfei is the master. Since the master has come, the guest should naturally give up his seat."

Shen Xijun caressed her face as the light in her eyes gradually turned cold. "So even the princess knows that I am the master of this place?"

Mu Qianxue gave a faint smile. "It's not only Qianxue. The entire Jinling City knows that the wangfei is the owner of Prince Rui's mansion."

Shen Xijun gave a cold snort before speaking up abruptly, "Since that's the case, why are you still pestering your highness to let you go? You are even bewitching your highness to mortgage all the mansions and farmlands to exchange for a large amount of silver. Princess's ability to bewitch the hearts of others is truly brilliant."

A Zi lightly smiled and deliberately said, "Princess Xuanji's ability is naturally excellent. Otherwise, how could she allow the Prince to travel thousands of miles to Xi Chu to save her?"

Shen Xijun slightly raised her brows and then laughed, "If you didn't say it, I would have forgotten that the Princess is the descendant of the West Chu. If it were any other person, they would have been able to escape from death and live a peaceful life, and would be satisfied; but not only are we not satisfied, we're even delusional enough to fly to the branch. How laughable!"

Seeing them singing and shouting, how could Xia Yue endure it. She was about to speak, but someone was a step faster than her, "If the princess really had such a thought, Zong Ji would not be standing here today, so please be polite!"

Shen Xijun's expression changed as she stared at the indifferent Nineteen and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Nineteen glanced at her and indifferently said, "Isn't it just a matter of words? Don't tell me that even Zong Ji couldn't understand such a simple sentence?"

"How dare you!" Shen Xijun clenched her teeth tightly. This slut actually dared to mock her in front of her. This was abominable; not only did she not acknowledge her as Princess Rui, but she had even said 'little sister' 19 times in a row.

She tightly clenched the handrail, gritting her teeth as she said, "Ah Zi, give me a slap on her mouth!"

The words that Xia Yue had said earlier made her feel extremely carefree. When she heard that Shen Xijun was going to slap Nineteen's face, she immediately stood out and said, "Nineteen didn't say anything wrong. Royal Consort's punishment is really unreasonable!"

Shen Xijun coldly stared at her and coldly said, "Just by seeing that she didn't call herself a servant in front of me, it's already enough to smash her mouth to pieces!"

The corner of Nineteen's mouth slightly raised as he disdainfully said, "The only one who is qualified enough for me to call myself a slave is the prince. You …" "Not worthy!"

This sentence did not hold back and added fuel to the fire. Shen Xi Jun was so angry that her entire body shivered, and she shouted: "Slap! Slap her hard on the mouth! "

Seeing that Shen Xijun was so angry that she seemed to have lost all reason, Xia Yue frowned on the inside as she leaned over and whispered into Mu Qianxue's ear, "Princess, do you want me to invite the Prince over?"

"No need. Nineteen won't be at a disadvantage. Besides …" Mu Qianxue glanced at the door and coldly said, "Based on my calculations, it should be about time for her to arrive."

"Him?" Xia Yue asked in astonishment, "Who's coming?"

Mu Qianxue faintly smiled. "We'll know in a while."

While they were talking, Ah Zi had already been ordered to stand in front of Nineteen. Without a word, she raised her hand and threw a palm over. Before she could even swing her palm, she was grabbed by someone, unable to move.

Zi glared at 19, who was grabbing her hand. "You dare to resist?"

Nineteen said proudly: "I'm not wrong, why should I let you slap me?"

"Good, good, good!" Shen Xijun was so angry that she started laughing. "All of you, go slap my face. I want to see just how many of you she can stop!"

Alan and the others were about to go over when a maid walked in. When she saw what was happening in the room, she was a bit frightened and didn't dare to speak.

Lan turned to look at Shen Xijun. How could the latter be in the mood to see her? With a cold voice, he said, "I don't have time to see her right now. Let her come back tomorrow."

Before the maid could respond, a figure walked in. It was Zhao Pingqing, followed by Du Kun. When she passed by Mu Qianxue, her eyes lightly swept past her like a flowing cloud.

"I heard that the princess is with elder sister, as expected." As she said this, she bowed slightly towards the displeased Shen Xijun, "Pingqing has come uninvited. Elder Sister, please forgive me." Her voice was always soft and gentle, like cooked top-grade glutinous rice, and they stuck together bit by bit.

"She's become more and more ordinary." Shen Xijun coldly said sarcastically, "Why have you come here, Consort Ping?"

Zhao Pingqing laughed. "I know, Pingqing likes to play chess, but I don't like it when she plays chess. But Dugong and the rest give up after a few rounds. I have heard that you are a good chess player and you are here to ask for help. Are you sure you don't mind?"

Shen Xijun suppressed her anger and said with a fake smile, "Of course not, it's just that …"

Before she finished talking, Zhao Pingqing interrupted her with a smile on her face, "Thank you, sister. I will take my leave first."

"Princess, let's go." She winked at Mu Qianxue and her voice sounded slightly anxious.

"Alright." Mu Qianxue nodded, stood up, and said to Shen Xijun who was stumped, "Qianxue, farewell."

Seeing that they were about to leave the door, Alan leaned over and whispered in Shen Xijun's ear, "Zong Ji, are you going to let them leave just like that?"

Shen Xijun's face turned from red to white, and then from white to green. It was unknown what she was thinking, but in the end, she did not speak up to stop them and allowed them to leave.

Only after they had disappeared did he release his silver teeth, which were chomping so hard, as he said word by word, "I will not let any of these two people off!"

As for Zhao Pingqing, she held Mu Qianxue's hand until they left the East Branch and then let out a long sigh. She released her hand and said gently, "It should be fine now."

Mu Qianxue met her gaze and said, "I am truly sorry to have you specially come to rescue me."

Zhao Pingqing was surprised. She smiled and said, "I can't hide it from you. It is just a small task. Nothing to worry about."

Hearing these words, Xia Yue suddenly said: "So the Ping Concubine really wasn't looking for the princess to play chess?"

Zhao Pingqing smiled and shook her head. She sighed and said sadly, "My sister and I have known each other for more than ten years, and she has always regarded the princess as a thorn in her side. It is not a good thing to suddenly send someone to invite the princess." As she spoke, she said to Mu Qianxue, "I know that the princess has always had a misunderstanding about me, and thinks that I have plotted against Your Highness. But I hope you believe that I have never plotted against anyone, and do not know how to do it.

Mu Qianxue faintly smiled and indifferently said, "If Pingfei doesn't know how to scheme, then there probably won't be anyone in this world who knows how to."

Zhao Pingqing was upset. "Why do you always refuse to believe me?"
