Chapter 333: Stubborn

The plum blossoms are in bloom, and their refreshing fragrance lingers in the air, refreshing the mind.

Nan Xi and Chu Hongyi walked side by side in the forest, followed by Xuanyuan Dan, Xuanyuan Jia, Xuanyuan Xueling and other royal princesses, followed by Su Zhenzhen, Mo Lian, Fang Lanyi, Ji Waner.

Away from the men's battlefield, these girls obviously relaxed a little, and their expressions no longer looked so reserved and nervous. Except for Fang Lanyi and Ji Wan'er, who followed silently behind, everyone else looked leisurely and at ease.

Oh no.

At this time, the little princess of the Wang family in Huainan felt a little uncomfortable.

"Um, Your Highness Princess." Xuanyuan Xueling coughed lightly, took the initiative to hold Nan Xi's arm, and smiled flatteringly, "Don't take what I said in front of you a few days ago to heart."

Nan Xi was a little surprised and couldn't help but turn her head and glance at her.

Xuanyuan Xueling rubbed her nose in confusion: "I...I actually didn't mean to sow discord between you and the Prince Regent. I hope Her Highness the Princess won't misunderstand me. Although my words and deeds are somewhat inappropriate, I really don't mean anything malicious."

"No malicious intent?" Nan Xi smiled lightly, "I thought you deliberately wanted to sow discord between me and Rong Yu."

"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that." Xue Ling raised her hand and shook her head repeatedly, "I just...just, I heard that my eldest brother mentioned this regent before, and I heard that he is a man with military power and is more powerful than my eldest brother. , I felt a little dissatisfied, so...just..."

Nan Xi understood: "So, isn't this intentional?"

Xuanyuan Xueling screamed and knelt down directly: "Your Highness Princess, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I am really not a bad person and I have no ill intentions. Your Highness Princess, please don't treat my father and elder brother just because of my stupidity." Be suspicious——"

"Okay." Nan Xi reached out and helped her up, "Girls are delicate, don't kneel down all the time."

Xuanyuan Xueling blinked: "But the princess is the prince and will be the queen in the future. Don't we have to kneel down when we see the princess?"

"Then we'll wait until we become the Queen." Nan Xi smiled, "But I'm warning you first. Don't point your finger at the Regent and scold you again, otherwise I'll be angry."

Xuanyuan Xueling bit her lip and looked pitiful: "Actually, I regretted it after scolding the regent. When I ran out of the East Palace, I was covered in cold sweat. I was afraid that the regent would order people to chase me out and beat me up. Later, I went to tell my elder brother about this, and he was so angry that he almost fell off the bed and said that I was a bastard and would cause trouble for him. "

After hearing her words, Nan Xi could recall how angry Xuanyuan Yao was when he was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "You two are really brothers and sisters."

Xuanyuan Xueling was silent for a moment, not figuring out the meaning of this sentence, and hesitantly said: "Your Highness, are you mocking me?"

"No." Nan Xi shook her head, "I just felt it."

Xuanyuan Xueling said oh and said nothing more.

Although she still didn't know what she meant by this sentiment.

Nan Xi turned around, greeted the princesses and ladies behind her, and said with a gentle smile: "You don't have to be restrained. You can say whatever you want. Let's get to know each other first."

Fang Lanyi and Ji Waner walked in silence at the end. After hearing these words, Ji Waner glanced at Fang Lanyi hesitantly. Seeing that Fang Lanyi kept her head down and said nothing, she turned to look at Nan Xi: "Your Highness Princess."

Nan Xi turned her eyes slightly and smiled lightly: "Miss Ji."

"About the marriage between Prince Qi and General Chu." Ji Waner bit her lip, "Is there really no room for maneuver?"

Chu Hongyi's expression suddenly turned cold and she looked at her without saying a word.

Ji Waner's head was numb when she saw her, and she didn't dare to look at her, so she couldn't help but look down at the cobblestone path under her feet.

Nan Xi was a little surprised.

She first glanced at Fang Lanyi meaningfully, and then said to Ji Wan'er, "Why are you so concerned about Prince Qi's marriage?"

Ji Wan'er lowered her head: "Prince Qi is my cousin. My aunt is discussing the marriage between my cousin and Miss Fang with the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. I also think that Miss Fang is more suitable for my cousin than General Chu... Your Highness, marriage has always been a major event. Following the orders of my parents, my cousin made a lifelong private contract with General Chu without my aunt’s consent, which is really against filial piety, so this matter..."

"Are you blaming me for taking matters into your own hands?" Nan Xi smiled lightly.

Ji Waner's expression changed and she shook her head quickly: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

"The marriage between Prince Qi and General Chu is approved by this palace." Nan Xi said calmly, "Isn't Miss Ji not sure about the inside story? Prince Qi and General Chu were already engaged, and the engagement was said to be between Prince Jing and Lord Chu. It has been decided after discussion. Do you want to say that Prince Jing cannot be the master, or that this engagement does not count? "

Ji Waner's face changed slightly, "I...I didn't mean that..."

"It's true that Prince Qi is your cousin, but you are not his father and mother, and you have no right to interfere with his affairs." Nan Xi said in a calm voice, "I am about the same age as you, and our family backgrounds are also similar. So at this time, I am not warning you as the crown prince, but I am just reminding you as a bystander: don’t try to point fingers at other people’s affairs, and don’t say you are not qualified. Even if you are qualified, you must first have the confidence to bear the consequences of pointing fingers... …The swelling on my face hasn’t disappeared yet, so I’ve forgotten the lesson?”

Ji Wan'er didn't know which tendon was wrong, but when she heard this, she defended herself: "My cousin did it because I made rude remarks, but at this time -"

"But you are still doing things that transcend your identity at this time." Nan Xi's brows were cold, "The result of doing this is not to offend Prince Qi, but there is no other benefit."

Ji Waner's face turned pale and she was speechless.

"Miss Fang." Nan Xi turned her head and looked at Fang Lanyi, who was silent all the time. "Is Princess Jing discussing your marriage with Mrs. Zhen Guo?"

Fang Lanyi pursed her lips, lowered her eyes to the ground, and nodded lightly: "Yes."

"So you think Prince Qi must marry you?"

Fang Lanyi's expression changed: "I...that's not what I meant..."

"That's not what you meant, but you asked Miss Ji to stand up for you again and again. What do you want to do?" Nan Xi's eyes were delicate, "Miss Ji has already been slapped twice by Prince Qi because of you, and you still want her to continue?" Being whipped by General Chu?"

The blood on Fang Lanyi's face faded, and she looked pale and weak, but she still refused to give up: "Your Highness, the princess, is helping Chu Hongyi because she can be used by the princess in the future?"

When Nan Xi heard this, she stared at her for a while and suddenly chuckled.

"Miss Fang is really stubborn." There was mockery in her voice, "Do you think I am helping General Chu?"
