Chapter 13: Courting Death, Daring to Offend the Tyrannical Princess
On the painting boat, Princess Jian Ning pointed at Yun Xuan and scolded: "Yun Xuan, what are you? How dare you repeatedly entangle with Ruo Xi's brother. If you dare to get close to Ruo Xi's brother again, I'll hit you once every time I see you."
"...... Jian Ning, you dare...... Gulu gulu...... So presumptuous...... I will definitely...... Gulu gulu gulu...... Report to the Emperor......" Yun Xiaoping struggled in the water while shouting.
Yun Siluo was very clear that her sister was the current empress, and the emperor doted on her sister. Even if Jian Ning was a princess, she wasn't afraid of her.
But she didn't expect Jian Ning to be fearless, instead becoming even more arrogant, "Go ahead and impeach me, I'm not afraid of you."
Yun Jinghua rushed over to take a look, and was immediately shocked, her soul flying out of her body. She immediately looked at Princess Jianning, just about to speak up to plead for mercy, when she was coldly shut down by the princess, "Yun Jinghua! You get out of my sight right now, I don't want to see you! If you ever dare bring that shameless sister of yours in front of Brother Ruoxi again, I won't be polite to you!"
Yun Jinghua's breathing stagnated, and his pleading gaze turned to Bai Ruoxi beside him. The four great young masters of the capital, the eldest grandson of the Ningguo Duke Mansion, Bai Ruoxi, the fifth young master of the Huguo Duke Mansion, Yuwen Qing, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun Jinghua, and the eldest son of Zhang Yushi, Zhang Lan. The ranking was naturally based on a comprehensive evaluation of family background, appearance, and talent. Therefore, the four great talents were also known as the Four Great Talents of the Capital, the Four Great Beauties of the Capital. However, discerning people could see that family background accounted for a large proportion.
Bai Ruoxi being one of the Four Great Talents, indeed excels in family background, appearance and talent.
She was slender in figure, wearing a white robe that fluttered in the wind. Her face was as pale and delicate as white jade, with eyes like bright stars and a nose like a hanging gallbladder. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, and even when she wasn't smiling, her eyes seemed to hold a hint of emotion. Her lightly closed lips seemed to be smiling even when she wasn't pleased. With such a face and such poise, any woman who saw her would instantly fall in love with her. No wonder Yun Qingping and Princess Jianning had fought over her until their heads were broken and blood was flowing.
Although Bai Ruoxi was extremely annoyed by Yun Qiping's endless entanglement, seeing Yun Jinghua's pleading gaze, he still cleared his throat and stepped forward to speak to Princess Jianning: "Princess, I think it's better to let it go. It's better for enemies to part ways rather than continue to be entangled."
"Hmph! I don't want to! Brother Ruoxi, this Yunxiao Ping is really too annoying. Every time she sees you, she's always clinging to you. Just seeing her makes me dislike her." Princess Jianning hugged Ba Ruoxi's arm and pouted, shaking it, revealing the spoiled little girl's demeanor, which was completely different from her fierce appearance earlier.
Bai Ruo's eyes dimmed with a bitter smile, her mouth saying one thing but thinking another. This lady still clung to her the moment she saw her, and yet they dared to criticize others? The problem was that one of them was a royal princess, the other was the daughter of the prime minister, one was her cousin, and the other was her friend's sister. And he was by nature gentle, really unable to refuse them bluntly.
"Alright, Jian Ning, I know you've always been a kind girl, so just let it go this one time for Yun San Miss." Bai Ruo Xue comfortingly patted Jian Ning's arm.
Yun Jinghua was on the side, anxiously sweating profusely, watching her sister struggling in the cold water, her heart racing with anxiety. In the water, the Yun family's guards only dared to secretly help Yun Suiping when Princess Jianning wasn't paying attention, just enough to keep her from sinking, not daring to do more. Yun Suyue stood beside Yun Jinghua, her eyes filled with worry, glancing at Yun Suiping struggling in the water one moment, and then looking at Princess Jianning the next.
All of them stared at Princess Jian Ning, waiting for her response...
