Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Chapter 88 Princess of Nanyang

When Empress Changsun saw Xie Wanying like this, her eyes turned red with jealousy. Why did all the good luck fall on an old woman who was about to die and a family that was about to fall into poverty?

Not only did Xie Jinglan awaken her spiritual veins, but she also became stronger and stronger. Now even Xie Wanying has recovered, which is what she least wants to see.

Damn it, I thought that after Xie Jinglan married Hong'er, I could use all the resources of the Xie family for Hong'er. Although the Xie family is small and is about to fall into poverty, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

The Duke of Li's Mansion is a centuries-old aristocratic family with profound heritage. Now it has fallen into the hands of that short-lived Beitang Yuan. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Thinking that Beitang Yuan was still alive, Empress Changsun was filled with hatred. As long as this person died, the Xie family would no longer be a threat, and everything would be fine for Hong'er and the Changsun family.

But the key is to kill these people first.

"Wanying, this means that not only has your body recovered, but you have also regained your previous strength. That's really great. From now on, who dares to look down on your Xie family?" The empress dowager was really happy for Xie Wanying, and she glanced at Empress Changsun meaningfully.

But this glance happened to meet the resentful eyes of Empress Changsun.

Empress Zhangsun didn't expect the Empress Dowager to suddenly look over at her, and she quickly forced a stiff smile, "That's really...congratulations, Old Madam Xie."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Wanying said with a cold expression.

"Grandson pays his respects to the Empress Dowager." Beitang Yuan walked up slowly to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

"You little brat, it's been several days and you only came to see me now?" The Queen Mother was a little disappointed with her grandson.

"Grandmother, haven't I been a little busy lately?" Beitang Yuan smiled, came over to support the empress dowager, sat her in the main seat, and sat down next to her.

The Queen Mother glanced at the concubines and ordered them to leave. "All of you, please go! There's a state banquet today. Go and do what you need to do. There's no need to stay here and watch over an old woman like me."

Hearing her say this, Concubine Xian had no choice but to stand up first and said, "In this case, we will not disturb you, Queen Mother."

Seeing that Concubine Xian was always ahead of her, Empress Zhangsun glared at her angrily and stood up to take her leave. "My daughter-in-law, take your leave."

After the concubines left, the Queen Mother said to Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan, "You two can go out and play too!"

"Okay!" Beitang Yuan had been waiting for her to say this. He took Xie Jinglan's hand and left, not forgetting to call Xie Yunqing, "Qing'er, let's go out and play."

Xie Jinglan was dragged away by him, so she had no choice but to turn back and say to the Queen Mother as she walked: "Your Majesty, I will leave first."

"Go, go!" said the Queen Mother with a smile.

After leaving Shouning Palace, Hu Xiu tactfully took Xie Yunqing away.

"Lan'er, it's still early to leave the banquet. I'll take you to the East Palace for a look!" Although Beitang Yuan was discussing with her, he had already walked towards the East Palace.

It takes some walking to get to the East Palace, and you'll pass by the Imperial Garden.

Although it is winter now, the Imperial Garden is rocky and lush, and many cold-resistant plants are still as green as summer. Some guests who arrived early are playing in it.

The two men walked side by side through a small bamboo forest when they suddenly saw a group of women coming towards them.

Xie Jinglan looked up and saw that she knew many of the people, including princesses from the palace, noble ladies from ministers' families, and Beitang Qing among them, but she had never seen the woman in gorgeous clothes walking in front.

The woman was wearing a gorgeous dress and had a beautiful oval face. With so many people surrounding her, she must be of an important identity.

These women probably didn't expect to meet the prince here, and the maids all knelt down.

"This servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Meet the Crown Prince."

When she heard that it was the prince, a hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes. She saw that Beitang Yuan was tall and slender, with a silver mask on his face, so his true face could not be seen.

"So you are the Crown Prince's cousin." The woman knelt and bowed. "Dai Yi greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be so polite." Beitang Yuan held Xie Jinglan's hand and walked past these women without looking at them.

The woman was a little surprised to see Beitang Yuan ignoring her.

Beitang Qing, who was standing next to her, had a dark look in his eyes. He leaned close to the woman's ear and whispered a few words.

When the woman heard this, she called out to the two men's backs, "Prince cousin, please stay."

However, Beitang Yuan in front seemed not to hear her words and continued on his way.

The woman was anxious and picked up the hem of her skirt to chase after him, "Your Highness, I have something to tell you."

But the person in front didn't stop, and seemed to be walking faster.

"Your Highness!" Suddenly a figure flew over.

He Changsong is here.

Beitang Yuan finally stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

"His Majesty has given you an oral order, asking you to go to the imperial study now." He Changsong reported.

Beitang Yuan's eyes darkened slightly, but he still turned around and said, "Lan'er, I'll take you to see it another day."

"It's okay." Xie Jinglan said nonchalantly, "His Majesty must have something to ask you. You can go ahead. I'll go back to Shouning Palace by myself."

"Okay!" Beitang Yuan also thought it made sense, so he took He Changsong and walked away from another path.

Xie Jinglan walked back along the original route, wanting to find her brother first and then return to Shouning Palace.

"Hey! Wait a minute." The woman behind her quickly caught up and stood in front of her, looking at her arrogantly, "Are you the prince's cousin's fiancée, Xie Jinglan?"

"Who are you?" Xie Jinglan looked at the woman with a cold gaze. This woman was hostile to her and had no good intentions.

Hearing her calling Beitang Yuan cousin, could she be the princess from Nanyang Kingdom?

Beitang Qing walked over and shouted, "Xie Jinglan, you are so bold! This is Princess Yuzhu of Nanyang State. How dare you, a mere servant, disrespect her? Disrespect this princess?"

"Beitang Qing, which eye of yours saw me being disrespectful to her?" Xie Jinglan asked her coldly. It seemed that the lesson she had received last time was not enough for this woman.

"You...Xie Jinglan, don't look down on anyone just because you have the Crown Prince's support! Don't forget that you haven't married into the royal family yet, so you still have to show proper courtesy to this princess.

Not only were you rude to the Princess of Nanyang today, you even addressed me by my first name. I will definitely report this to my father and have him punish you." Beitang Qing pointed at her, a smug look on his face.

This time, she must teach this bitch a lesson to avenge the last humiliation she suffered.

"Okay, go ahead!" Xie Jinglan turned around and walked past them and continued forward.

Seeing that bringing up his father didn't scare her, Beitang Qing's eyes flashed with venom, "Come here, arrest this woman who is disrespectful to Princess Yuzhu."

This woman offended the Princess of Nanyang, and even the Crown Prince could not protect her.

"Yes!" A group of palace maids rushed forward and surrounded Xie Jinglan.
