Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: All Want to be Princess Ning

"Prince Ning? That man standing next to him is Prince Ning, it is said in Donglin he is the second most favored prince by the emperor, after Prince Rui!"

"Prince Ning is really handsome, it would be great to be his woman, I wonder if he is married yet?"

"What status is Prince Ning? What status are we? We shouldn’t delude ourselves. If Prince Ning were to marry, he would marry the legitimate daughter of a noble family. How could he ever take notice of someone of our status?"

"..."

The people at the side whispered to each other, all fantasizing about being Prince Ning’s woman, though some knew deep down their status was unworthy of him.

Yet, they secretly hoped to catch Prince Ning’s attention.

Just now, these women were arrogantly berating Su Yunjin for her low status, but upon seeing Prince Ning, they all strutted like dignified daughters of rich families.

They tried hard to display their knowledge of propriety and manners. Even the woman who had just wanted to retaliate against Su Yunjin stopped her actions out of fear after hearing that the man standing next to Gu Ya was Prince Ning.

This was her first time seeing a man of Prince Ning’s stature.

Prince Ning was the emperor’s own brother, wasn’t he? She too wanted to make a good impression on Prince Ning and earnestly posed with a dignified demeanor.

However, having just fallen over where she was all muddied and her clothes and hair disarrayed, she didn’t realize that her attempts at dignity were far from elegant in front of Prince Ning, even comical, like a performing clown.

Prince Ning once again asked, his voice tinged with dissatisfaction, "What is the situation here? Today is a great day at Prince Qi Residence, celebrating the Little Prince’s one-month birthday. We cannot allow anyone to be presumptuous here!" Prince Ning’s voice was icy and stern, clashing with his handsome features.

As soon as Prince Ning finished speaking, the women around no longer dared entertain any romantic thoughts. They all inwardly sweated, fearing that Prince Ning would blame the recent incidents on them.

A few women glanced at Su Yunjin guiltily, afraid that she might say something unfavorable to them, so they decided to strike first.

"Prince Ning, actually, things went like this, we were just talking here peacefully and, you wouldn’t know, but it was her, the woman standing next to you, who out of nowhere slapped me, look, my face is still swollen!"

The woman appeared aggrieved, her tone slightly coquettish, and she looked particularly pitiful, a look that would make any man want to comfort her.

But who was Prince Ning? Prince Ning had grown up among the women of the Imperial Palace, accustomed to their jealousy and petty tactics.

How could such minor scheming deceive Prince Ning?

The women around didn’t know what was on Prince Ning’s mind but continued to agree, "Prince Ning, isn’t it true? We were just having a nice conversation, and that woman next to you just came up and hit us."

"Prince Ning, you must stand up for us!"

The women’s antics were clownish as they jumped about, but Su Yunjin, standing aside, had already seen Prince Ning’s impatience with them and knew that he sided with her.

She did not rush to explain.

She’d rather watch these women put on their show first.
