Xiao Chengye was so angry with Qin Zhen that he didn't want to say anything to her anymore. He waved his hand and told her to go away and not to be an eyesore in front of him.
Feeling at ease, Qin Zhile came out of the pavilion and followed the direction Lou Shulan left.
She hadn't seen Lou Shulan for a long time, and she still missed her very much.
Even though Lou Shulan was still angry with her, she still wanted to take a few more glances from a distance.
She turned around and finally found Lou Shulan. Lou Shulan was facing the outside and seemed to be saying something to the person opposite.
Just because of the angle, Qin Zhen couldn't see clearly who was on the opposite side.
Just as Qin Zhen was thinking about taking a closer look at Lou Shulan, she heard several comments in her ears.
"Where does this concubine Shu come from?"
"I heard that she is a folk woman."
"Is a middle-aged old woman worthy of staying with His Majesty? I don't know what charming tricks she used to make the Emperor dote on her so much."
"The emperor is just trying to create a novelty. After the novelty wears off, who will look at her again?"
"That's true. Look at how old she is and her hands are rougher than my horse slave. If you look at such a person twice, you will feel dirty."
"When she is no longer favored by His Majesty, let's see if the queen and those ladies don't tear her apart."
…
Everyone's words were full of malice towards Lou Shulan, and every word was humiliating.
Qin Zhen was so furious that she turned around and headed towards those who were talking.
Several men and women gathered together. They were a little surprised to see Qin Zhen appear, and they all said hello: "Why is the princess here?"
"The princess also saw the flowers blooming here so brightly, so..."
Qin Zhen raised her hand and slapped the man's words back.
"What are you doing?" The woman was slapped and still a little dazed, staring at Qin Zhen and asking angrily.
"What are you doing?" Qin Zhen sneered, raised her hand and slapped you again, saying, "Hit you, don't you understand?"
At this time, the people next to him also reacted and rushed forward to stop him.
"Why do you hit people?"
"That's right, why do you hit people at will? We are all respectable people, and we don't let you hit people at will."
"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because His Majesty gives you support!"
They thought they would scold Qin Zhen, but Qin Zhen was a ruthless person.
She didn't care what everyone said, she just rushed into the crowd and started fighting with them. Whoever came to fight, no one could escape.
These young masters and ladies are usually very noble and delicate, how can they be Qin Zhen's opponent?
For a moment, a group of people were suppressed and started to fight due to Qin Zhen's harassment.
The fuss was so big that it ended up in front of the emperor.
Outside the pavilion, there were people kneeling on the ground. Qin Zhen, with disheveled hair, was kneeling at the front.
Xiao Chengye's eyes swept across them and finally landed on Qin Zhen. After a moment of silence, he asked: "What's going on?"
Qin Zhen said nothing, but those who were beaten by her began to cry.
"I was waiting there to enjoy the flowers, and the princess suddenly came over and started taking action without asking any questions."
"It's just that we have no idea what happened."
"The princess is really bullying people too much!"
…
Those who cried, those who complained, all wanted to describe Qin Zhen as a heinous villain.
Xiao Chengye rubbed his eyebrows and looked at Qin Zhen: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Qin Zhen pursed her lips and said angrily, "They have bad mouths."
Xiao Chengye: "What?"
"They have bad mouths and talk bad things about people together." Qin Zhen said angrily, "What they said is ugly."
Those who were beaten felt a little uncomfortable on their faces, and they probably didn't expect that Qin Zhen would listen to those words.
Xiao Chengye frowned: "What did they say?"
Qin Zhen opened her mouth, and suddenly she spotted Lou Shulan's figure out of the corner of her eye. Lou Yan was standing not far behind Lou Shulan.
In the flash of lightning, Qin Zhen thought, if those words were known to Lou Shulan, she would definitely be sad, right?
The words went around in her mouth, but when Qin Zhen said it, the content changed: "They laughed at me for being a bandit, not understanding the rules, and being an uncivilized barbarian."
As soon as she said this, the people kneeling behind her looked at her at the same time, with some surprise in their eyes, and subconsciously wanted to refute: "No, we didn't mean..."
"Of course that's not what you said," Qin Zhen interrupted them and said in a deep voice, "Your original words are ten times worse than these. I'm afraid of dirtying my father's ears when I say them."
Those people woke up instantly.
It was better to scold Princess Anshun. If the emperor knew that they were scolding Concubine Shu, the consequences would be even more disastrous.
No one spoke anymore.
Xiao Chengye said with a cold face: "Is what the princess said true?"
"We don't dare to do it anymore!" Those people knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy: "It was because we were impulsive and said things we shouldn't have said. We will never dare to do it again. Please forgive us."
Qin Zhen sneered and said: "If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can say it in front of me, or you can have a fight with me. In that case, I will respect you for being upright. But hiding behind my back and gossiping is fine."
What's the point?"
Those people shrank their heads and did not dare to say anything.
Xiao Chengye was silent for a while, and then said: "You are disrespectful to the princess. If you do it next time, you will go home and think about it for a month. If you do it again, you will be severely punished."
Those people hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them, and were taken away by their family members and hurriedly left Baihua Villa.
After dealing with those people, Xiao Chengye looked at Qin Zhen and said, "Get up and see what you have become."
Qin Zhen stood up, smoothed her messy hair, and said, "It's okay, they were injured much more than me."
Xiao Chengye: "...Are you quite proud?"
"Don't dare," Qin Zhen muttered: "Who told them to gossip about me behind my back..."
Xiao Chengye shook his head and said: "I organized this flower viewing party for you out of kindness, and wanted you to make more friends... It's good for you that you didn't make any friends, but you offended all these people."
Qin Zhen pursed her lips and remained silent, but her face was full of dissatisfaction.
Xiao Chengye looked upset: "Okay, okay, hurry up and sort it out. What do you look like?"
Qin Zhen responded, holding up the hem of her skirt to leave.
Lou Shulan on the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, let me accompany her. She doesn't look like she knows how to dress up."
Qin Zhen looked at Lou Shulan with some surprise. She didn't expect that Lou Shulan would still be willing to talk to her.
On the way back to the house, Qin Zhen glanced at Lou Shulan from the corner of her eye, as if she was afraid that the other party would regret it.
Lou Shulan looked calm, as if she didn't notice Qin Zhen's little move.
After entering the house and shooing everyone away, Qin Zhen couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "Auntie..."
Lou Shulan's hand holding the comb paused, and then she said calmly: "You'd better call me Concubine Shu."
