Chapter 989 Is it any of your business?
"Everyone in the inner chambers knows about Princess Yang's personality. They originally thought that it would be difficult for her to find a husband, but unexpectedly she became Princess Yang, which surprised many people."
"It's fortunate that Prince Yang didn't marry Wu Yue'er. However, I heard that the reason why Prince Yang rushed into marriage was to escape Wu Yue'er. Otherwise, it would be Prince Yang, not Prince Kang, who would be cuckolded now."
Whispers arose from the surrounding crowd. King Kang was now wearing a green hat that he couldn't get off. On the one hand, people found it funny, but on the other hand, they felt that he was really unlucky.
Wu Yue'er is a shameless woman; whoever marries her is doomed. However, it's surprising that Prince Yang married Meng Qin.
It seems that Meng Qin has no idea how to properly take care of Prince Yang.
Song Ruozhen and Gu Huan'er exchanged a glance. It seems that Meng Qin's cousin is no pushover either!
Prince Yang was unwell, so whether Meng Qin came or not wouldn't have made any difference. But because of what she said, it seemed like Meng Qin didn't care about Prince Yang.
"Cousin, what do you mean by that?"
Meng Qin wasn't one to take a loss lying down; she was always straightforward and spoke her mind immediately:
"I am here to attend the banquet today because the Prince asked me to come. He said that this is the first banquet we have held since our marriage. He is not feeling well and cannot come, so he asked me to attend in his place."
If you think I did a bad job, why don't you go to the Prince's mansion and ask the Prince?
"You're meddling in things that don't concern you. Is it any of your business what happens in our Prince's residence?"
Bu Qingyao didn't expect Meng Qin to have such a bad temper, not restraining herself at all in front of so many people, leaving her with no way to save face.
"That's not what I meant. I just thought we're relatives, so I wanted to remind you..."
"I misspoke, please don't be upset, I won't say it again..."
Bu Qingyao's expression revealed a hint of panic and apology, which made her fair and delicate face look flustered and helpless.
His appearance made him look as if he had been bullied by Meng Qin.
"Isn't Princess Yang Princess Bu Qingyao's cousin? They're relatives after all. It's just a matter of asking a few words of concern. Is it really necessary to be so arrogant?"
"I heard that when Princess Yang was still a young lady, she had a terrible temper, and ordinary girls wouldn't dare to mess with her. Now that she's Princess Yang, isn't she even more outrageous?"
Seeing that everyone around her was speaking up for Bu Qingyao, Meng Qin was furious.
She asked herself if she had done anything to wrong Bu Qingyao, but Bu Qingyao had deliberately tripped her up today. It was really infuriating!
“Miss Bu, Meng Qin and Prince Yang have a very good relationship. Her attendance at the banquet today is also at Prince Yang’s request.”
She may be a bit straightforward, but it's normal for her to be unhappy because you accused her without any evidence. Besides, she didn't hit or scold you, so why are you feeling wronged for no reason?
Song Ruozhen walked to Meng Qin's side, her dark, beautiful eyes seemed to see through everything, and her exquisite and beautiful face showed a calm and indifferent expression.
"This deliberate act of feigning weakness and playing the victim is what concubines love. You are born into a prestigious family, so it's best not to learn this kind of behavior."
A few simple words of criticism instantly turned Bu Qingyao's face extremely ugly.
Compared to Meng Qin's argument and accusations, Song Ruozhen's words were entirely from the perspective of a superior, incisively pointing out her behavior.
In that instant, Bu Qingyao felt an unprecedented sense of embarrassment.
Many people around were not really aware of the situation; they just assumed that Meng Qin was taking the opportunity to vent her anger because of her fiery temper and loud voice.
After hearing Song Ruozhen's words, everyone finally understood.
All the women attending the banquet today are wives and daughters of the principal wife, and they usually look down on the behavior of concubines in the inner courtyard.
Daughters of noble families have always disdained such behavior and have been disgusted by it many times in the inner courtyard. Now, upon hearing this, how could they not understand that Bu Qingyao was using tricks to make everyone have a bad impression of Princess Yang?
A hint of disdain flashed in Gu Huan'er's eyes as she said, "Cousins, indeed! I wonder what they're up to at this banquet!"
Bu Qingyao felt increasingly panicked and subconsciously looked at Wen Miaozhu. She thought that the Crown Princess and Princess Yun would not get involved in the matter between the two cousins.
After all, when they were watching them talk from a short distance away, everyone looked rather grim, especially Meng Qin, whose expression turned particularly unpleasant after the Crown Princess finished speaking.
She thought their conversation had gone wrong and their relationship had changed, but she never expected that both of them would still be helping Meng Qin!
"I never expected Bu Qingyao to be so scheming. They're all cousins, why would she have to resort to such tricks?"
"You wouldn't know this, would you? Bu Qingyao probably wanted to become the Princess Consort of Yang, but someone beat her to it. How could she possibly be happy about that?"
“Bu Qingyao has always been arrogant and looked down on many young men because of her good looks. Now that she is getting old, her cousin has become the Princess Consort of Yang. Naturally, she is unhappy about it.”
Even though Bu Qingyao hadn't shown it before, some people had naturally noticed it long ago.
If it weren't for this anger, she wouldn't have made such a scene out of nowhere.
After finishing their conversation, Song Ruozhen and the others were too lazy to argue with Bu Qingyao any further. If they continued to play along with her antics, they would only be giving her face.
"Meng Qin, your cousin is no good. She looks like she has a grudge against you."
Gu Huan'er couldn't help but sigh, and looking at her own cousin, she was simply a goddess-like cousin!
Meng Qin frowned and said, "I also find it very strange. I haven't offended her. She's never acted like this in front of me before. I don't know what she's doing all of a sudden."
"Can't you see? She feels that you stole her ideal man, so her words are inevitably sarcastic."
Song Ruozhen chuckled. Meng Qin was indeed the type who wouldn't stand for a loss, but she often didn't understand where the conflict stemmed from.
Meng Qin was stunned, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Really?"
"Meng Qin, I thought I was slow enough, but I didn't expect you to be even slower!"
Gu Huan'er's eyes widened. "No wonder you had feelings for Prince Yang years ago, but never showed them."
"If it weren't for Wu Yue'er interfering at the time, you would probably have missed out entirely."
Back then, everyone thought Meng Qin didn't have anyone she liked, but who would have thought she was so good at hiding it!
Meng Qin smiled awkwardly, "I never actually thought it would ever happen. I thought that with the prince's personality, he definitely wouldn't like me."
But look at the situation now, I might end up becoming his best friend.
"Pfft." Gu Huan'er couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Don't rush into this matter. I think what my cousin said is very likely true. Go back and see if it's true or not."
