Chapter 676 Fighting

Xiao Yue looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that Xiao Lan and her maid had appeared on the palace road at some point and were standing not far away. It was obvious that what she had just said was heard by her.

"Fifth sister, you've changed really quickly." Xiao Lan said mockingly.

Just now she heard the palace servants report that Xiao Yue and others were on the palace road, and seemed to be looking for an opportunity to meet the Xilin envoy, so she thought of coming over to see what was going on.

When I came over, I saw Xiao Yue staring at the Ninth Prince of Xilin infatuatedly. When he mentioned the marriage, she no longer had the resistance she had before. She was even afraid that he would misunderstand that she was unwilling to marry. She answered so quickly, it was really ridiculous.

Ever since Xiao Lan and Xiao Yue had a falling out at the last flower-viewing banquet, they have been completely unrestrained when they meet again. They are completely at loggerheads with each other, and the sarcasm and ridicule on their faces are extremely clear at this moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue was furious. "Xiao Lan, stop talking nonsense here. I've already said that I'm only trying to protect the reputation of our Beiyang Kingdom, so that the people of Xilin won't think that our Beiyang Princess is ignorant of the big picture!"

Damn it, how come she didn't know Xiao Lan was coming? She was hiding nearby, eavesdropping and watching the fun. It was really despicable to do such a thing!

"Fifth sister, why do you have to be so stubborn? If you really want to show that you are sensible and care about the reputation of our Beiyang country, you wouldn't be waiting here on the palace road to meet the Xilin envoy. Such an unruly thing is the real loss of face for our Beiyang country!" Xiao Lan sneered unceremoniously, "In my opinion, you have been blinded by the good looks of the Ninth Prince of Xilin, and now you are probably planning to marry him as soon as possible."

"What nonsense!" Xiao Yue glared at Xiao Lan and her face turned red instantly.

However, even she herself couldn't explain it clearly. Was she angry because of the other party, or was she just angry and embarrassed because the other party hit her sore spot?

She had to admit that after meeting Murong Yu, she was no longer so averse to the idea of ​​marriage.

With such a face and the identity of a prince, and he seemed polite and gentle just now, it might be a good choice for her to marry him.

Xiao Yue glared at Xiao Lan while thinking secretly in his heart. However, due to his lack of concentration, the look he gave Xiao Lan did not have any killing power. Instead, it revealed a sense of distracted guilt.

Xiao Lan looked at Xiao Yue with even more contempt.

"You are so shameful. You are a princess after all, but you lost your mind when you saw a handsome man. If this gets out, I'm afraid people will laugh at you. Even my reputation and that of my sixth sister will be affected by you."

The Ninth Prince of Xilin was indeed handsome. She was also amazed when she saw him from afar just now, but she was taught from a young age that one should not judge a man by his appearance alone.

She is not one of those young ladies in the boudoirs described in storybooks who would lose their minds when they see a handsome man, not caring about their reputation or their parents, and only want to marry him.

She originally thought that such stupid things would only happen in storybooks, but when she saw Xiao Yue just now, she realized that as a royal princess, she could be so ignorant of her limits.

Xiao Lan's look of disdain was so blatant that Xiao Yue felt furious again. She opened her mouth again to deny it, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly changed her tone.

"Xiao Lan, stop being so sarcastic. You are so sure that you said that I changed my mind after seeing the Ninth Prince of Xilin. I don't think you regret it yourself!"

"I have nothing to regret."

"Of course I regret getting engaged so early. I heard that your fiancé is from an ordinary family, with a plain appearance, and his appearance is barely decent. Even if such a man was in front of me, I would not want him. But you rushed to the emperor and begged him to grant the marriage. This is really ridiculous!"

Xiao Lan's face darkened. "Xiao Yue, how can you give orders about my fiancé? Besides, it's right in front of you. Who do you think you are? You acted like that at the banquet that day. None of the young masters from the noble families liked you. Don't you know what's going on?"

Xiao Lan was indeed not so satisfied with her fiancé at first, but she could not resist Wu Bin's persuasion.

The man's family had a very good relationship with the Wu family, and they could be called old friends. In this case, she would not encounter any setbacks if she married him, and with her status as a princess, she would be treated like a treasure. So she was moved and agreed to follow her mother's arrangement.

But no matter whether she was satisfied or not, since they were already engaged, she would not allow Xiao Yue to ridicule and belittle her in front of her.

The two of them were at loggerheads, both extremely angry.

Xiao Yue realized that she had touched Xiao Lan's sore spot, and she started to belittle her fiancé again. Xiao Lan, on the other hand, fought back by pointing out Xiao Yue's performance at the flower-viewing banquet and the fact that no one was willing to marry her.

The two quarreled more and more fiercely. Finally, Xiao Lan rushed forward in anger and slapped Xiao Yue in the face. Xiao Yue was not to be outdone and directly grabbed Xiao Yue's arm, and the two of them wrestled with each other.

The news that the two princesses had fought on the palace road soon reached Empress Shi's palace.

Although Queen Shi really didn't want to deal with these things recently, the Xilin envoy had just arrived and the two princesses had a fight on the palace road. If this matter was not handled well, the Beiyang royal family would really lose face. Queen Shi had no choice but to rush over immediately.

When Empress Shi arrived, Concubine Wu, who had learned the news, had already arrived first. Seeing her daughter's red and swollen cheeks, disheveled hair, and torn dress, Concubine Wu felt so distressed that she wanted to rush up and give Xiao Yue a severe lesson.

But because there were many eunuchs and palace maids watching around, she could only hold it in.

As soon as she saw Empress Shi, Concubine Wu immediately pulled Xiao Lan to her knees and complained, taking the initiative.

"Empress, please help Lan'er. The Fifth Princess was in a bad mood and took it out on Lan'er, beating her up like this. She doesn't act like an imperial sister at all. Please be fair and punish Xiao Yue!"

Xiao Yue was not willing to be outdone and quickly said, "It was clearly she who started it first. Qiao Fu and the others can all testify to this. I was only acting in self-defense. If there is any punishment to be given, it should be Xiao Lan!"

"Fifth Princess, although Lan'er is quick-tempered, she is kind-hearted and has never fought with anyone. She would never hit you first. How could you bully her and then throw dirty water on her! What's more, you asked your own maids to testify, so they would naturally speak on your side!"

Concubine Wu spoke quickly and glanced at the maid who had just followed Xiao Lan.

The latter understood and immediately knelt down, "I can testify that it was the Fifth Princess who started it just now!"
