QT: TPE Chapter 25.1

The moment Princess Minghua saw Xu Lingyi, she understood why her father liked her.

They were father and daughter, both in positions of power, so Princess Minghua instantly understood the Emperor.

If she were a man, she too would have been captivated by such stunning beauty.

In all her life, Princess Minghua had never seen such a beautiful woman. When Xu Lingyi entered the room, she even felt the room brighten.

Princess Minghua was momentarily stunned, then quickly looked away, but her heart couldn’t help but linger on her beauty.

Princess Minghua wasn’t interested in women. She was just thinking that Xu Lingyi was so beautiful; what about her father and brothers?

They must also be exceptionally handsome and brave. She would have to observe them closely in the future.

Today, before summoning Xu Lingyi, Princess Minghua had specifically gone to the Empress Dowager’s palace.

She actually hoped the Empress Dowager would help her.

This was also the first time the Empress Dowager had seen Xu Lingyi, and she too was taken aback.

The Emperor had indeed told her that Xu Shi was very beautiful, and there were often praises of Xu Shi’s beauty in the palace, but now she realized that these praises were not exaggerated at all.

If the Emperor had normal fertility, the child born to him and a celestial beauty like Xu Shi would certainly have been exceptionally beautiful.

“Greetings, Empress Dowager. Greetings, Princess.”

Actually, her rank didn’t require her to bow to Princess Minghua, but the Emperor decreed that his princesses held the highest rank in the harem.

Even if there is an empress in the palace, she cannot make the Princess bow her head.

Let alone someone like her, De Fei.

Furthermore, Xu Lingyi had mentally prepared herself on the way here. Even though she hated Princess Minghua to the core, she wouldn’t show it at all.

Although she was amazed by Xu Lingyi’s appearance, Princess Minghua still remembered why she had summoned her this time.

Neither Princess Minghua nor the Empress Dowager allowed Xu Lingyi to rise.

So the two of them were sitting at the head of the table, while Xu Lingyi was kneeling alone below.

This was the first time she had knelt since entering the palace.

“I’ve heard of De Fei’s reputation even outside the palace. I’ve heard she’s extremely favored, almost to the point of being exclusively favored. Aren’t you afraid people will call you a vixen?”

Xu Lingyi laughed inwardly. She, a mere daughter, was meddling in her father’s private affairs.

Besides, could she possibly control the Emperor’s favor?

Instead of causing trouble for the Emperor, she caused trouble for her; this was really ridiculous.

When Princess Minghua asked her a question, Xu Lingyi didn’t know how to respond, so she simply lowered her head and remained silent.

“I’m asking you a question, and you’re pretending to be mute? Are you like this in front of the Emperor, too? Perhaps you become incredibly seductive in front of him?”

The Empress Dowager simply allowed Princess Minghua to make things difficult for her without stopping her, perhaps because she didn’t like her either.

But she knew before coming that she would be targeted by Princess Minghua today, and she was prepared.

“I will do my best to advise His Majesty in the future.” Xu Lingyi said.

As for whether the Emperor would go or not, that was up to him. She did not have the power to influence the Emperor.

Princess Minghua smiled, playing with her hair as she sat at the head of the table, her tone nonchalant.

“De Fei, mere advice isn’t enough. You’ve probably heard of me. This time, I’m only giving you a warning. If you continue to flirt with my father, I won’t be so lenient with you then. Do you understand?”
