Chapter 17
  Feeling a chill, Xiao Qingqing's heart suddenly trembled. She raised her head slightly and carefully observed the old concubine's expression, but she happened to meet her cold and disdainful eyes.

"Is this the Princess of Beihuang?" The old concubine's voice was slightly hoarse, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

"Yes." Xiao Qingqing lowered her eyes and nodded, saluting respectfully.

But he heard a cold snort: "How can the majestic princess be so unruly and not understand such simple etiquette? Wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word!"

Xiao Qingqing was stunned. She was already very cautious and tried to use the most standardized etiquette. How could this be wrong?
  "Give me a seat." Before Xiao Qingqing could react, the old concubine spoke again.

The servants immediately served tea to Feng Molin and Xiao Qingqing.

She had been on tenterhooks all along the way. She had just been frightened by the old lady and now her mouth was even parched. She just wanted to drink tea to calm down her fear.

However, as soon as he picked up the teacup, he heard a dissatisfied snort coming from above. He could only put down the teacup in his hand and look at the old concubine.

"Neither the concubine nor the prince have ever used tea. If you, a little princess, use tea first, it would be too disrespectful to take the concubine and the prince seriously. Who taught you the rules!" The old concubine said coldly. voice questioned.

"No one taught me." Xiao Qingqing felt exhausted and her voice became a little lower.

"No wonder you are so uneducated and don't understand the rules. As far as I know, you are a concubine of the Shangshu Mansion. How can a concubine be worthy of the noble status of the prince? The Shangshu Mansion is really courageous!"

Xiao Qingqing was a little impatient. Ever since she entered the inner hall and saw the old concubine, the old concubine had never given her a good look. She was already so cautious. The old concubine was still picking on the eggs and targeting her at every turn. , and now he is using his identity to ridicule himself.

At first, she was humbled and ignored because of the old concubine's high status and the fact that she was an old man. However, she couldn't bear the criticism again and again.

He glanced at Feng Molin lightly, then looked at the old concubine, not afraid to meet her gaze, and said calmly: "Old concubine, I think what you said is wrong. Everyone cannot decide their own origin. , when you look at people, you can’t just look at a person’s status, but more importantly, look at the person’s character, otherwise it’s useless to be a scumbag no matter how high his status is!”

"You are indeed a mother-in-law and not a mother-in-law. How dare you contradict me? You have no tutoring and don't understand the rules. How can you take on the responsibility of a concubine!" The old concubine was shaking with anger, raising her fingers and yelling angrily. .

Xiao Qingqing's eyes were slightly cold. No matter which life she was in, what she hated most was someone talking about her mother. There was a bit of coldness in her words: "It is the rule for the old concubine to open her mouth and shut up. Could it be that the old concubine's The rules are to find fault with others, to judge others, and to scold others? The old lady's rules are not very good, she can only be said to be an old woman with no manners at all!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around looked at Xiao Qingqing in shock, feeling that she was a little careless about life and death.

Even Feng Molin couldn't help but frown and turned to face her, but unfortunately he couldn't see it.

The old concubine was even more furious and slapped her palm on the table, but she was so angry that she couldn't say a word for a long time.

"It's okay not to want such a princess! Today this concubine must be divorced. The Beihuang Palace never needs such a mistress!" The old concubine who couldn't get over Xiao Qingqing's argument directly attacked Feng Molin.

But in Xiao Qingqing's opinion, these words were the least lethal. She looked at Feng Molin with a chuckle. She knew better than anyone else that Feng Molin needed her now. How to make a decision must be in his mind. There are several.

"It seems that the prince has something to discuss now. I won't disturb you anymore, so as not to make the old concubine unhappy. The prince will stay here with the old concubine." She was so angry that she didn't want to continue watching. While the old concubine was making trouble for herself, it was better to go out and relax.

He bowed to the old concubine and walked out of the inner hall regardless of the old concubine's shouts and accusations from behind.

"Feng Yi, stay with the princess." Feng Molin ordered. Feng Yi saluted and followed.

After leaving the inner hall, Feng Yi followed Xiao Qingqing and spoke hesitantly: "Princess, there is a sentence that is not worth saying."

"Then don't talk about it." Xiao Qingqing walked around the house. It had to be said that this place was quiet and elegant, and it was indeed a good place to cultivate one's moral character. Unfortunately, looking at the old concubine's bad temper, this cultivation of one's moral character was not successful.

These words made Feng Yi pause and feel a little at a loss. When he came back to his senses, he continued: "Princess, the old concubine is an important person to the prince. As a princess, you should respect the old concubine, so as not to let the prince fail. Easy to do.”

"That is an important person to your prince, but not to me. Besides, you must not forget that your prince and I have nothing more to do with each other. I am responsible for curing his illness, and he is responsible for it. You are not a real couple to destroy the Shangshu Mansion for me, there is no need for me to wrong myself for the sake of your prince."

Xiao Qingqing reminded Feng Yi and continued to admire the scenery in the courtyard.

This also made Feng Yi stop talking.

In the inner hall, the old concubine was very dissatisfied with Xiao Qingqing's attitude: "Mo Lin, such a princess must be divorced. With your noble appearance as a prince, you are worthy of a noble daughter and a lady, not like this A woman who is extremely vulgar and doesn’t understand the rules. Look at the way she looked just now, how can she be the mistress of the house and shoulder the responsibility of the princess!"

"I appreciate the concubine's kindness, but I will never divorce Xiao Qingqing." Feng Molin said in a calm voice, rejecting the old concubine's proposal.

The old concubine was a little anxious: "Why, what's so good about Xiao Qingqing? It's already a high achievement for a concubine to become a concubine, and she's still so ignorant."

Feng Molin disagreed with the old concubine's evaluation and shook her head: "Old concubine, this Xiao Qingqing is not as incompetent as she seems on the surface. On the contrary, she is very useful."

The old concubine frowned and waited for the next step without saying anything.

"She can heal my eyes and legs."

The old concubine was shocked by these words, and her cold face was broken and showed a look of surprise: "Are you telling the truth?"

For Feng Molin's eyes and legs, she had sought treatment from famous doctors, but to no avail. Is it true that a mere concubine from the Shangshu Mansion had such ability?

Even after hearing what Feng Molin said personally, he still remained skeptical.

"I have tried it, and there will be no falsehood. If she is useless, I will no longer keep her by my side." Feng Molin said.

These words also made the old lady waver.

It would be a good thing if Xiao Qingqing could really cure Feng Molin, but her attitude was...

The old concubine's anger gradually subsided, but she still had some dissatisfaction: "Xiao Qingqing can stay, but this girl needs to be strictly disciplined and learn the rules so as not to lose the face of the palace, so that she can bear the responsibility of being a princess. responsibility."
