Zhao Xiaoxue didn't think that she was very weak, but she had never felt that she was very strong either. She didn't know why the man next to her said that, but the tall man that guided her always turned his head back from time to time.

There were many winding paths in the back garden of the residence. Although Zhao Xiaoxue didn't remember all of the paths, she vaguely remembered some iconic plants. Obviously, this was the way to the lawn. Could it be that Qing He and Xia Yu were still on the lawn?

"Your Highness, this way please!"

As the owner of the manor, he knew better than anyone else how to avoid these twists and turns and thus find a more convenient path. Thus, it took him very little time, or even a very short journey, to reach the lawn.

"Your Highness, this is the tea garden. My wife loves to hold tea parties here. Before this …"

"NO!" I refuse to fight! "

Before the tall man could finish his words, he heard a woman's resounding voice opposing him. Perhaps to the tall man, this woman's voice only surprised him, but when it reached Zhao Xiaoxue's ears, it instantly aroused her sharp senses.

"It's Qing He!"

Without caring about the tall man's reaction, Zhao Xiaoxue started to run forward.

"It's fine if you don't want to fight, but first leave behind your hands and that damned tongue of yours!"

As soon as Zhao Xiaoxue got close, she heard such vicious words and was immediately startled. She rushed into the crowd and saw Qing He with her hands tied. She gnashed her teeth as she looked at Princess Ziling, who was wearing a short flying phoenix dress and had multiple braids.

"A woman with a vicious heart like yours, yet you still want to compare yourself with my Miss? That's simply a difference of a hundred thousand miles! You can't even grow up as my Miss, and your heart is as vicious as a snake or a scorpion's. Just like you, His Highness the Southern King simply doesn't think much of you."

'Bang! '

In front of so many people, this maid didn't give her any face at all. To a princess of a country, this was simply a great humiliation. Could it be that she, as a princess, was unable to deal with a maid?

Unable to bear it any longer, Qi Zhiling stepped forward to give the girl a slap on the face. However, she threw her palm with a loud and clear sound. However, her palm did not land on the girl's face.

"Wah!" Whoosh! Whoosh! "It hurts!"

At the critical moment, Zhao Xiaoxue rushed out and used her hand to receive the palm. In the instant that the palm met the palm, Zhao Xiaoxue almost thought that her palm was going to be crippled because of it, but fortunately, after shaking it off, she found that it was only because of the pain that did not hurt her bones.

"Who are you? "How dare you stop this princess …"

There were a lot of people observing from all around. However, they were all weak looking ladies. Qi Zhiling was puzzled by the sudden appearance of such a beautiful woman.

Of course, she was even angrier because this person dared to openly oppose her. But when he looked closely, he felt that this person looked familiar, which was why the doubt in his heart became even more intense.

"Little... "Miss!"

Qing He was very happy to see the young lady suddenly appear. The young lady had just helped her escape a calamity, and the princess's strength was not weak. If she had hit her face in such a way, her face would have been broken.

"Miss, quickly go, this woman is crazy! She also likes His Highness the Southern King, so she won't let you off! "

When Qing He saw that the young miss had come alone, she became exceptionally worried. It was one thing for her to suffer, but she hoped that the young miss would not be implicated.

"Qing He, don't worry, I've come to take you away!"

With Qing He's righteousness, Zhao Xiaoxue would definitely care more about it.

"It won't be that easy to bring her away. Look at the sorry appearances of the ladies and ladies around us, they're all just kowtowing to her …" No! It should be because of you, you are the one who pretended to be the Southern King! "

Although his appearance had changed a lot, Qi Zhiling still recognized him.

"It's her!"

"It's her?"

"..."

It was unknown if it was because of Princess Ziling's words, but the surrounding crowd suddenly burst into a flurry of discussions. As the voices rose and fell, the surrounding crowd's gaze also gradually turned cold.

How bedraggled they had been just now, they would never have forgotten. If they hadn't wanted to maintain their final grace, they would have also imagined this princess questioning the culprit in such a manner.

"Humph!" "Don't think that just because you are a princess you can overturn right and wrong, that was not the case just now. I never said that I was the Southern King, it was all because of you, and the first one to make a move was you. If it wasn't for you, would these ladies have been so wronged?"

Originally, Zhao Xiaoxue didn't want to explain, but everyone's disgusted looks couldn't be underestimated. The pressure was not small, if they wanted to smoothly take away Qing He, they couldn't become the target of public criticism.

"Humph!" You two are really powerful, all of you are so eloquent, but no matter what you say, it's useless. As matters stand, if you don't give us an explanation, then don't even think of leaving this place! "

Qi Zhiling did not expect that the Southern Princess would appear here. She had admired the Southern King for a long time, and had married the Southern King and become the Southern Princess long ago if her family's father and brother had not stopped her. Now that other girls had become the Southern Princess's concubine, it really made people look down on them, especially this Southern Princess who was even more beautiful than her.

"What explanation?" No matter what, you are all well-known people. Although my family is not poor, if I make clothes and send it to each of your families, would you really dare to accept it? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed for not being magnanimous and not having the demeanor of a lady? "

Of course, her family was the richest, so even if she did give everyone a set of clothes, if her father doted on her so much, it was not out of the question.

However, Zhao Xiaoxue was unwilling in her heart. These people clearly had intentions for the Southern King, so how could she go and make clothes for those people that had intentions for her husband?

"If you don't want to spend the silver, you'll have to pay a price. Just now, your maid also agreed to play chess with this princess. If you win, let her go. If you lose, leave behind her hands and tongue!"

Other than liking the Southern King, Qi Zhiling also liked to play chess. That was the reason why she was in such a hurry to attend Madame Gao's tea party.

"No, I did not! Miss, this servant doesn't even know how to play chess, so how could I agree! "

The mention of playing chess gave Qing He a headache.

"Chess?"

Zhao Xiaoxue was quite curious, because she also liked to play chess.

If you win, this princess will let you go on your own. But if you lose, if you don't want to leave this girl with her hands and tongue, then you will have to use ten thousand taels of gold to apologize. This princess knows that you are the richest girl in the world, so this little gamble is nothing!
