Chapter 158 The Skinny Horse's Second Daughter 30
Thinking of the grievances she suffered in the palace, Zhou Jingyi gnashed her teeth in hatred.
But the next second, the pain in her buttocks made her gasp.
Not only did he lose face, but he also lost the opportunity to be the princess's study companion.
I had thought that showing up in front of the prince might help me find a good marriage.
But now with the result like this, let alone a good marriage, I don’t know how many people are laughing at me behind my back.
Zhou Jingyi asked unwillingly, "Linglan, who did the third princess choose as her study partner today?"
Knowing that Zhou Jingyi looked down on Zhou An Ning, Ling Lan spoke carefully, "Miss, today the Third Princess chose the Second Miss as her study partner and gave her the Yuehua Konghou. The Second Miss will enter the palace next month."
"What did you say?"
Zhou Jingyi's voice was sharp and piercing, like a wild cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Zhou Anning was chosen as the princess's study companion? Did you hear it wrong? How could it be her?"
There are many noble ladies from the capital attending the banquet today, and Zhou Jingyi has countless guesses.
But the only thing she couldn't accept was Azhi becoming the princess's study companion.
All my efforts in sword dancing to please others were actually not as good as Zhou An Ning's?
She turned around and pushed Lily of the Valley down.
"Impossible! Go and find out for me again. How could that bitch be the princess's companion? On what basis could she be the princess's companion?"
But Lily of the Valley knelt on the ground with a timid look on her face.
"Miss, I was right. It is true that the second young lady has been selected as the princess's companion. The queen's decree has been sent to the general's residence. The nanny in the harem will be here in three days."
The queen has already decided on Azhi, and it seems there is really no room for maneuver.
Zhou Jingyi clutched the quilt tightly, her teeth chattering.
Her eyes were full of resentment and her voice was gloomy.
"Why would she be the princess's study companion? What's so special about Zhou An Ning? Could it be that she has learned some tricks to please men? I should have pushed her into the water and drowned her, and put an end to it all."
"Miss?"
Hearing Zhou Jingyi's voice mixed with hatred, Linglan couldn't help but tremble all over.
Zhou Jingyi was indeed domineering on weekdays, but she had never seen Zhou Jingyi being cruel and ruthless.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Zhou Jingyi didn't know what had stimulated her, she slammed the bed and yelled at Linglan.
At nightfall in Magnolia Garden, Ahzhi was soaking her feet with her hair loose, while Tonghua was tidying her clothes.
Ah Zhi held the small incense burner in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Today is really thanks to the incense burner.
Otherwise Zhou Jingyi wouldn't be able to be so crazy.
There is a kind of spice in the perfume powder that Feng Qingzi gave to Zhou Jingyi.
There is no problem in applying it on the skin on a daily basis.
However, Azhi added another spice to the incense burner. The smell of this spice was extremely soft and could not be smelled at all when combined with the other scents.
However, the spices in the incense powder should not be mixed with the spices in the incense burner.
Both create a short-term poison that makes people impatient and impulsive.
Short-term poisons come and go quickly, making them difficult to detect.
Therefore, since Zhou Jingyi went out for the banquet, Azhi had already planned to take advantage of her.
After tidying up her clothes, Tonghua turned around and saw Azhi playing with the small incense burner.
She couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what are you doing holding the small incense burner?"
Ah Zhi came back to his senses and looked at Tonghua and smiled, "I just think this little incense burner is really cute. I was mesmerized by it for a while. The pattern on it is really delicate."
Tonghua was kept in the dark about all the plans.
This small incense burner was given to Azhi by Feng Qingzi.
Tonghua stepped forward and wiped Azhi's feet clean.
"Miss, you have been tired all day. You should rest early. I will put away the incense burner for you."
Ah Zhi handed the incense burner to Tonghua and reminded her, "Remember to pour out the ashes inside, clean it thoroughly and put it away."
"Yes, the servant understands."
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Feng Qingzi in the main courtyard was rubbing her temples, sighing as she sat by the window with a tired look on her face.
Nanny Guan stepped forward and put on Feng Qingzi's coat.
She asked with concern, "Madam, are you worried?"
I heard Nanny Guan’s concerned question.
Feng Qingzi put down her hand and said helplessly, "I saw clearly that Zhou Jingyi made a fool of herself in the palace today."
"She only thinks about her own wealth and glory. I don't know what the old woman taught her."
"Although Prince Cheng did not ask to cancel the engagement, our Zhou family will always owe him a favor in the future."
Nanny Guan brought some warm honey water.
"It's not suitable to drink tea at night. Madam, please drink some honey water."
"This young lady has been taught badly, and she needs Madam to pay more attention to everything."
"Fortunately, the second young lady was very hardworking and did not embarrass the general and his wife too much."
They are both my own children, so why is there such a big difference between them?
Feng Qingzi drank honey water and sighed, "I often look at Ningning and Zhou Jingyi, and I feel dazed. How can they be so different when they are both born from my belly?"
Seeing that Feng Qingzi was too anxious, Nanny Guan softened her voice and tried to comfort her.
"Madam, even the nine sons of a dragon are different. Moreover, the eldest daughter has never been raised by your side since she was a child. Now that Prince Cheng has not cancelled the engagement, you just need to wait for the eldest daughter to get married."
Feng Qingzi waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I have done what I should do. Let her figure out the rest herself."
Prince Cheng did not choose to cancel the engagement, but Princess Cheng was unhappy when she returned to the palace.
He looked as if he couldn't wait to turn the palace upside down.
Watching Princess Cheng with her hands on her hips, forcing him to go to her house to cancel the engagement.
King Cheng slammed the table and analyzed it vigorously.
"You are too kind-hearted. You don't like Zhou Jingyi, but in order to win over Zhou Song, this marriage must go ahead."
"Fang Changmian has already been spoiled by you. It's just a play between children. Why do you have to make a big deal out of it?"
It seems that Prince Cheng wants to calm things down.
The golden hairpin on Princess Cheng’s head shook vigorously.
"Bah, isn't Changmian your biological son? How dare you say such things? You are unworthy of being a father."
As a prince, yet being bullied by the princess, perhaps Prince Cheng is the only one in the whole capital.
Prince Cheng is the son of the late emperor and a palace maid. If he had not stood on the side of Emperor Wen, he might have become a handful of earth by now.
Emperor Wen felt that Prince Cheng was his brother and had followed him to the throne to become emperor.
He always has to think about his younger brother.
The mother and daughter of Prince Cheng's palace maids were named imperial concubines, and a marriage was arranged for him to a noble family.
Princess Cheng comes from a family of military commanders, and her temperament is too aggressive and strong.
Especially when it comes to Fang Changmian, she is like a tigress protecting her cub.
Prince Cheng suppressed his temper and lowered his voice.
"Princess, I really want to have a good talk with you. Even though you don't like Zhou Jingyi, the marriage has been decided. You can let Changmian take a concubine in the future, but you can never cancel this marriage."
