"Is that so?" Hearing her words, the Twelfth Princess turned around and looked towards Xie Wanyun at the side to seek confirmation.

Xie Wanyun was kept in the dark previously, so she did not know anything about the Heavenly Imperial Guardians. She was busy recently with fawning over the madame, and also busy with her studies, so she ignored all the news outside.

It was only until the Twelfth Princess mentioned it to her that she knew that when that strange monk suddenly leaped up to become a protector of the nation, Xie Wanqing had unexpectedly become a household name.

Although she was surprised and unwilling, she dared not hide the truth from the princess' question. She replied, "Indeed."

After the Twelfth Princess heard her confirmation, the discontent towards Xie Wanqing slightly dissipated. She was the pride of the heavens, and no girl had ever been able to stand above her.

The news had spread like wildfire. The Daughter of Concubine who talked about Marquis Anyang's Mansion and their talents were praised by the Protector of the Nation as well as spread like wildfire. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she knew that Xie Wanqing only had one mouth and two eyes, and was no different from other people.

He was also extremely respectful and obedient towards her.

Even though the Little Princess felt a little better, her arrogance still could not be changed. She looked at Xie Wanqing with disdain: "It looks like the rumors outside are not true, that Master Du Fa is actually having fun chatting with him?"

Xie Wanqing naturally did not dare to refute her. She was a princess, so whatever she said would be the truth.

So yes.

"If that's the case, then the rumors outside are just rumors. It can't be that you let them out, right?" Twelfth Princess rested her chin on her left hand and tilted her head to look at her.

No wonder Sun Xiaoxiao didn't like her. Xie Wanqing finally understood the reason.

"To reply Princess, of course not."

"If you say so, then so be it. How do I know if what you said is true?" Sun Xiaoxiao was usually at odds with her, even if she complained to the emperor, the emperor would only comfort her, never punish Sun Xiaoxiao, and forbade her to punish him.

But the Twelfth Princess was filled with anger in her heart, she could not settle the score with Sun Xiaoxiao, it was fine that she settled the score with him now, but who told her to be so angry at him and strike up a relationship with Sun Xiaoxiao? However, she was just a Daughter of Concubine, she punished him immediately, who would ask why?

Seeing that the Twelfth Princess was about to slash Xie Wanqing, Sun Xiaoxiao stood out and said: "You are speaking in evidence, what evidence do you have to prove that Sang Qing lied? If not, then what right do you have to punish her? Is it because you're a princess that you have to bully others? "

The Twelfth Princess was unruly and willful, Sun Xiaoxiao also did not have a good temper. Since she was already putting on airs and bullying others, don't blame her for cursing at her.

Xie Wanqing never thought that Sun Xiaoxiao would dare to point directly at the princess' nose and speak to her so directly, and she could not help but look at her in shock.

The Twelfth Princess was already at loggerheads with Sun Xiaoxiao, but now that Sun Xiaoxiao didn't give her any face at all, and even directly bullied her in front of Xie Wanqing, her heart was burning with anger. Since Sun Xiaoxiao wanted to protect Xie Wanqing, then she must be punished.

"Do you think it's your turn to teach this princess how to speak?" The Twelfth Princess had a face full of pride, like a peacock. He looked disdainfully at Sun Xiaoxiao, "This princess said that she lied to you, so what, you still want to protect her, Sun Xiaoxiao, do you want to be punished together?"

Even though she was one year younger than Sun Xiaoxiao, her imposing manner was not one bit inferior to anyone. Even if she was in the wrong, she still had to be confident.

What Sun Xiaoxiao hated the most was the Twelfth Princess using her status to pressure others, and the fact that all of the people in the world on her body wanted to support her power, made her feel really disgusted.

"This is the General Mansion, and I'm the Direct Daughter of the General Mansion. Naturally, I'll say whatever I want to say. If you don't like it, then go back to the Imperial Palace. Don't come here to suffer." Sun Xiaoxiao was not afraid of punishment, and besides, even the princess would not dare to punish her.

The twelfth princess' face darkened completely. She slammed the table and was about to get up when Lady Chen stood up and said, "It's time for lunch. You must all be hungry. If you have anything to say, say it after you've finished eating."

Chen Shi was the only daughter of the old Principal of Shouxi School, and it would be weird if one were to say that she was a lady from a scholarly family, but she had fallen for General Sun, who only knew how to brandish his sabers and make spears.

The Emperor then sent his most beloved Twelfth Princess to him, making her become half a teacher and a good teacher. However, since the princess was unruly and willful, Lady Chen would turn a blind eye to her and shut her eyes to her, not daring to interfere with the Emperor's daughter.

Usually when the Twelfth Princess fights with Sun Xiaoxiao, she would just ignore it, and even if it was just now, the Emperor wouldn't do anything to Sun Xiaoxiao, so all she had to do was stop the both of them from fighting.

The Twelfth Princess naturally knew that the Emperor wanted Lady Chen to be his teacher, so she didn't dare disobey his wishes and temporarily suppressed her anger. They all sat down around the table. Soon, the maidservants brought up the dishes that had been prepared in the kitchen.

Because there was a princess present, the food was naturally much more exquisite than what was inside the Marquis Anyang's Mansion.

"Come, give some food to this princess."

Just as Xie Wanqing was about to sit down, the Twelfth Princess opened her mouth.

Sun Xiaoxiao frowned. Just as she was about to stand up and speak, Xie Wanqing squeezed her hand and shook her head. After all, she was a princess. If Sun Xiaoxiao went back on her ways again and again for her sake, it would actually make the princess hate her even more. It was not worth it.

She had even put in a lot of effort to deal with Concubine Fang, so how could she have the mind to deal with a princess? She felt that she was only using Sun Xiaoxiao as a shield. In the future, it would be difficult for the two of them to get to know each other better.

People had no choice but to lower their heads under the eaves.

When Lady Chen saw that she was holding onto Sun Xiaoxiao, she could not help but nod her head in approval.

"It is this subject's honor to be able to serve the princess." Xie Wanqing stood up and said respectfully.

When the Twelfth Princess saw that she was so obedient, she felt a little strange. She snorted from her nose and turned her head away from Ning Xuemo.

During the time for the meal, Xie Wanqing had been preparing dishes for the princess. The twelfth princess would eat this and that later on, some of them were given to her but she didn't like them.

As the Daughter of Concubine in her previous life, Xie Wanqing had been gentle and respectful throughout her life. She only thought of the other party as a child.

On the other hand, Sun Xiaoxiao was filled with rage from her meal. She hastily scooped up two mouthfuls of rice and sat to the side, waiting for the twelfth princess.

"Hey, are you done eating?" Sun Xiaoxiao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Xie Wanqing was a guest that she had specially invited over today, and not to order around the Twelfth Princess.

Seeing that the food was already cold, the Twelfth Princess on the other side still had to eat this and that and in reality did not eat much, but only used that to play with Xie Wanqing.

"Miss Sun, don't worry," Xie Wanyun finally saw that Xie Wanqing had suffered a setback, and felt at ease. It was unknown if it was because General Mansion's chef's food was especially good, but her appetite had improved greatly today. It had been her happiest day for so many days.

"Being able to serve the princess is the fortune of our daughter, and also the fortune of our subject." If Miss Sun has something to tell her, then she can do it on her behalf. " Previously, when she tried to curry favor and fear Sun Xiaoxiao, she was ignored. Now that there was a princess, even if Sun Xiaoxiao was a Direct Daughter, she would still be suppressed to the point of being dwarfed.

When the Twelfth Princess heard her words, she felt very good, and glanced at Sun Xiaoxiao provocatively.

Sun Xiaoxiao could not fight the princess on the surface, but towards Xie Wanyun, she could do whatever she wanted. Therefore, he turned around and stared at her, "Since you feel this way, then go serve the princess."

He then shouted out to Xie Wanqing: "Xia Qing, let's go, I'll bring you to my courtyard to play."

When Xie Wanqing heard this, she did not even look at the Twelfth Princess. She only walked towards Xie Wanyun, handed over the chopsticks to her, and said, "Then it'll be hard on you, Big Sister."

With that, he bowed and said his farewells to the princess, and was pulled out of the door by Sun Xiaoxiao.

Xie Wanyun had originally wanted to reject her, but firstly, she didn't dare to oppose Sun Xiaoxiao. Secondly, if she rejected him, the princess would misunderstand that she wasn't willing to serve him.

Therefore, without saying a word, he could only watch as Xie Wanqing walked out.
