61: I see how dare you!

Seeing this, the two palace maids instantly stopped.

Nangong Yu was blocking in front of Qing Ling; how dared they move? If they accidentally injured Nangong Yu, all their heads wouldn't be enough to chop off!

The two looked hesitant and couldn't help but turn to look at Chun Mei, wanting to see what she would say.

Chun Mei frowned slightly, "Xiao Lü, go up and pull the Little Prince, don't hurt him!"

"Yes, Sister Chun Mei!"

A palace maid answered, stepped out from behind Chun Mei, and walked straight towards Nangong Yu.

Seeing this, Qing Ling's face instantly grew anxious, "Don't mess around, I'll go with you, just don't hurt the Little Prince!"

But as soon as she said this, she felt a small hand grab her skirt.

She looked down, and it was Nangong Yu!

He shook his head slightly, then turned to look at Xiao Lü, who was walking over, and Chun Mei and the others.

"How audacious, a bunch of lowly maidservants, dare to touch this Prince and see what happens!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lü instantly stopped.

No matter how young Nangong Yu was, he was still the Prince of Zhenbei. If he said that, who would dare to touch him?

Are they tired of living?

Chun Mei's brows furrowed, "Little Prince, that lowly maidservant Qing Ling..."

But before she could finish, Nangong Yu had already looked over with cold eyes, "lowly maidservant, who are you talking about?"

"I..."

Chun Mei was suddenly scolded and couldn't help but get angry, but she didn't dare to get angry with Nangong Yu.

She took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Little Prince, I am a Servant Girl by the Empress Dowager's side, you..."

But before she finished, Nangong Yu said coldly, "This Prince knows, but so what? You serve by Imperial Grandmother's side, and this Prince respects you three points, but that doesn't mean this Prince has no temper!"

"You don't kneel before this Prince, don't bow, and even dare to touch this Prince's person. Who gave you the guts? Imperial Grandmother? Should this Prince go ask her old self?"

As Nangong Yu spoke, his childish voice grew colder and more authoritative.

Hearing his words, Chun Mei and the others were instantly dumbfounded. The Empress Dowager would never give them such courage!

If these words reached the Empress Dowager's ears, they wouldn't even know how they died, after all, these were the words of the Prince of Zhenbei!

As Chun Mei and the others thought of this, their knees instantly went soft, and they knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Servant Girl knows her crime, please spare this Servant Girl's life, Little Prince!"

But Nangong Yu merely glanced at them coldly, "Know your crime? This Prince thinks you still don't!"

"Qing Ling is this Prince's person. You openly humiliate her in front of this Prince, and even want to slap her face. Are you trying to slap this Prince's face?"

"Servant Girl wouldn't dare!"

Chun Mei and the others quickly denied it; they dared not admit to such a thing!

A hint of surprise flashed in Chun Mei's eyes. How did this Little Prince suddenly mature so much?

But she didn't have time to think much, "Little Prince, Chun Mei doesn't agree with this matter. Qing Ling offended you with her mortal body, she should naturally be punished!"

Nangong Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at her coldly, his voice childish yet authoritative, "Oh? This Prince commanded her. Are you saying this Prince was wrong?"

"Servant Girl wouldn't dare!"

Chun Mei quickly lowered her head, her forehead pressed tightly against the ground, and cold sweat had already started to appear.

She had been in this imperial harem for decades, and never before had she felt so wronged and afraid as she did today.

But today's matter, she had to admit defeat!

Nangong Yu was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager; he was not someone she could offend.

She was originally in a bad mood, seeing Nangong Yu as young and ignorant, and planned to vent her anger on Qing Ling, that lowly maidservant, but she didn't expect things to escalate to this point.

The key was that she also didn't expect Nangong Yu, at only half a year old, to have such a clear mind and speak so logically!

But her bowing in defeat did not mean Nangong Yu's anger had subsided.

"Wouldn't dare? This Prince thinks you're quite daring. Qing Ling is the Imperial Uncle-appointed tutor for this Prince. What's wrong with this Prince letting her hold him?"

"You even want to slap her face. Should this Prince go ask Imperial Uncle if it's proper for you to hit the person he sent to this Prince?"

"Little Prince, spare my life, Servant Girl wouldn't dare anymore!" Chun Mei was shocked and quickly begged for mercy.

Could this matter even alarm His Majesty?

If this matter reached the Empress Dowager, she might be lenient considering her many years of service, but if it truly reached His Majesty, she would be completely finished.

Nangong Yu looked at her coldly, "Wouldn't dare? Then you still dared to slap Qing Ling's face. Are you trying to delay this Prince's studies? What are your intentions?"

"Little Prince, spare my life, Servant Girl was momentarily dizzy, said the wrong thing, did the wrong thing, please spare my life, Little Prince!"

Chun Mei no longer had any illusions; this Little Prince was far from simple.

She was defeated today!

"Hmph!"

Nangong Yu snorted coldly, "You are Imperial Grandmother's person, this Prince can't control you. This Prince will speak to Imperial Grandmother about this matter himself. Now, scram!"

"Little Prince... Grand... Grand Imperial Consort!"

Chun Mei looked up, still wanting to beg for mercy, but then saw an extra person beside Nangong Yu.

It was none other than Shangguan Yuexi!

She had been watching in secret, witnessing Nangong Yu's display of dominance, and couldn't help but smile.

But since it was only Nangong Yu and Qing Ling here, she feared Chun Mei might act recklessly, so she quickly showed herself.

"Scram!"

Shangguan Yuexi picked up Nangong Yu and snorted coldly at Chun Mei.

Seeing this, Chun Mei knew that begging for mercy was useless, so she could only quickly leave with her people.

Seeing her leave, Shangguan Yuexi couldn't help but turn to Nangong Yu, smiling, "When did my Yuer become so formidable?"

Nangong Yu scratched his head, his innocent smile returning, "Mother, why are you here?"

"You, you went out without telling Mother, so Mother naturally had to follow to see!"

Shangguan Yuexi shook her head slightly and smiled, then her expression turned serious, "Yuer, a gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall. If you encounter such a situation again, just let them retreat with difficulty, there's no need to say too much, lest the other party acts recklessly, understand?"

"I understand, Mother!"

Nangong Yu nodded. He was also somewhat reckless, relying on Ying Mei to protect him, otherwise, he naturally understood this principle.

At this moment, Qing Ling also recovered, looking terrified, and quickly knelt, saying, "Servant Girl greets Grand Imperial Consort. Servant Girl rashly took the Little Prince out, almost causing him injury. Please punish Servant Girl, Grand Imperial Consort!"

Shangguan Yuexi glanced at her, then at Nangong Yu, and then said, "Get up. Yuer has already said that you are now his person. How to punish you is none of this Consort's business. You can ask your master later!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu blinked, somewhat confused.

Qing Ling, however, showed joy upon hearing this and quickly kowtowed, "Thank you, Grand Imperial Consort! Thank you, Little Prince!"

She respectfully kowtowed, then slowly rose, standing respectfully behind the two.

She naturally understood that Shangguan Yuexi's words meant she temporarily approved of her following Nangong Yu.

Shangguan Yuexi nodded slightly, looking at the beautiful scenery in the garden, and was about to take Nangong Yu for a stroll when a person suddenly appeared in front of them.
