Qin Yanran’s emotions, however, remained unsettled for a long time.

She had heard everything.

Su Xiaoxiao had known the Third Prince and Young Marquis Jing while they were in Qingzhou.

She had treated the Third Prince’s illness and Young Marquis Jing’s injuries.

The Third Prince’s words.….. were filled with protectiveness toward her.

And despite the fact that she was standing directly in front of the Third Prince, he appeared not to recognize her.

Qin Yanran tightened her grip on the inkstick in her hand.

"Miss Qin, Miss Qin, Miss Qin!"

Miss Lin beside her tugged at her sleeve.

Qin Yanran snapped back to reality and realized that she had spilled the ink, as it had spread across the table, completely staining the calligraphy sheet she had just practiced.

Princess Hui'an was injured and skipped classes for the afternoon.

She returned to Qixiang Palace.

When Consort Xian saw her beautiful daughter with a bruised forehead, she couldn’t help but ask,

"What happened? You... you didn’t get into another fight with Jingning, did you?"

The two princesses had often fought as children when they disagreed, but as they grew older, they had become more restrained, limiting their conflicts to verbal sparring.

"It wasn’t Jingning…..."

Princess Hui'an said tearfully, explaining how County Princess Lingxi had chased her on horseback.

Consort Xian was truly at her wit's end.

What kind of troublesome daughter had she given birth to?

If she wasn’t clashing with Jingning, then she was feuding with Guo Lingxi.

Princess Hui'an retorted, "Why do you blame me? She was the one chasing me!"

Consort Xian said, "Couldn’t you just have ignored her?"

Princess Hui'an declared righteously, "I’m a princess, how could I let her win?"

Consort Xian sneered, "Oh? When it comes to studying the Four Books and Five Classics, why don’t you ever think about not losing to others?"

Princess Hui'an was speechless for a moment.

".…..Whose daughter am I, anyway? Why are you always taking someone else’s side?"

Consort Xian rubbed her temples. "Guo Lingxi is the favorite of the Grand Empress Dowager. Stop provoking her!"

Princess Hui'an was indignant.

"I can’t provoke Jingning, and now I can’t even provoke a mere county princess? What’s the point of being a princess if I can’t do as I please? I might as well not be one!"

"Not be one of what?"

A man’s voice, tinged with amusement, came from the doorway.

Consort Xian’s heart leaped, and she hurriedly bowed.

"Your Majesty!"

"Imperial Father—"

Princess Hui'an, upon seeing Emperor Jingxuan, who doted on her the most, felt an overwhelming wave of grievance.

Her eyes reddened as she threw herself into Emperor Jingxuan’s arms, sobbing,

"Everyone is bullying me.….."

Other princesses wouldn’t dare to be so informal in front of Emperor Jingxuan, but it was precisely Princess Hui'an’s candid nature that made him feel that, in her presence, he was a father and only then the ruler of a nation.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at his daughter in his arms and asked,

"Who bullied my Hui'an?"

Princess Hui'an didn’t hold back in her complaint:

"Guo Lingxi! Third Brother! Jing Yi!"

Consort Xian’s temple throbbed.

This foolish girl!

How could you drag your own brother and cousin into this?!

"How did they bully you?"

Emperor Jingxuan asked amusedly.

Princess Hui'an said tearfully, "Guo Lingxi chased me on horseback and made my horse go crazy. When Third Brother and Jing Yi arrived, they didn’t save me, they went to rescue an outsider instead.….. so I fell.….."

Consort Xian was nearly faint with anger.

So there was a second half to this story?

Why didn’t you finish it all at once earlier?

If you had, I would have locked you up by now!

How could you slander your own older brother in front of your father?!

Emperor Jingxuan asked, "Was the fall serious? Let me see."

"Very serious! It hurts so much!"

Princess Hui'an moved her hand away from her forehead, growing more aggrieved the more she thought about it.

"I hate the Third Brother! I hate him to death! Father, you shouldn’t like him either! He’s just hypocritical! For the sake of his reputation, he doesn’t even care about his own younger sister!"

Consort Xian felt like vomiting blood*—

*Vomit blood = Used to describe an exaggerated emotional reaction caused by something that exceeds expectations or is difficult to accept, such as "I'm really going to vomit blood when I see this price".

To hell with the Wei family!

To hell with the Leng family!

The biggest obstacle on her son’s path to the throne was this damned girl!
