“Good news in the palace? Why didn’t I know about it?” Princess Xuehua looked at Su Yunxian curiously. “What good news?”

“Princess, you’re really trying to act dumb with me.” Su Yunxian’s smile was like a peach blossom blooming in March, “I heard that the Empress Dowager is very satisfied with Seventh Sister and can’t wait to make her the Ninth Prince’s Ninth Princess Consort.”

Su Yunxian’s words successfully made Princess Xuehua’s face darken.

However, Su Yunxian did not seem to notice anything amiss. She continued to smile and exclaim, “Princess, isn’t this good news? You’re about to have another niece-in-law, so I have to congratulate the princess here.” “Was there anything to congratulate?” Princess Xuehua’s tone was unkind as her lips curled into a cold smile. “Don’t forget that Su Qian gave birth to two illegitimate children with unknown identities. How can a woman who has lost her chastity be worthy of entering the royal family?”

Su Yunxian blinked her eyes and smiled gently and harmlessly. “Princess is right, but Su Qian is my Seventh Sister. Even if she caused our Su family to fall to this state, I still hope that she can have a good ending.”

“Eldest Miss, you’re still too soft-hearted.” Princess Xuehua sighed and said confidently, “How can a woman like Su Qian be worthy of entering the royal family? Just wait, this marriage will be called off sooner or later.”

“Is that so? But this matter still depends on the Ninth Prince. I heard that he and Seventh Sister have been in close contact and have a close relationship,” Su Yunxian said gently, “Princess, don’t you know? Previously, the Ninth Prince came to our Su family and took away Seventh Sister and the two children. Since then, the two children have been pestering the Ninth Prince. Speaking of which, it’s still Seventh Sister who has the ability. She knew that His Highness was soft-hearted and liked children, so she catered to his preferences.”

“What do you mean by catered to his preferences? She’s clearly unscrupulous!” Princess Xuehua was like a lit gunpowder barrel as she exclaim angrily, “Who does Su Qian think she is? Now that even your Su family doesn’t want her, what else can she rely on to become the Ninth Princess Consort? What a joke!”

“Princess, to be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that Su Qian is my sister, I wouldn’t have thought that she would be able to enter the royal family. I don’t know why the Ninth Prince would be so stubborn and fall in love with her. I heard that the Ninth Prince prepared a large number of flowers in the mansion today just to make her smile, but Seventh Sister took a look and left. I think the Ninth Prince must have been heartbroken.” After Su Yunxian finished speaking, she sighed and said, “Actually, in terms of treating His Highness well, you are still better. If we talk about being a perfect match, you and His Highness are more suitable for each other…”

Su Yunxian’s words were like a knife that stabbed into Princess Xuehua’s heart.

“Eldest Miss, you can’t spout nonsense.” The maid behind Su Yunxian reminded Su Yunxian in a very ‘considerate’ manner.

“Ah, look at me, I really don’t know how to speak. Princess, please don’t take it to heart. It’s just that everyone says that you and the Ninth Prince are the most compatible. If it weren’t for Su Qian, you would have had a high chance of becoming the Ninth Princess Consort. I, I only accidentally blurted out after hearing other people’s gossip. Please forgive me,” Su Yunxian said hypocritically.

“You said that everyone is saying this?” Princess Xuehua stared at Su Yunxian with a burning gaze.

Su Yunxian nodded timidly. “That’s right, Princess. You and His Highness are of similar age, and you are the one who understands the Empress Dowager and His Highness the best. If it weren’t for Su Qian, the position of princess consort would naturally be yours..”
